#the ugly jumped out

[eddie4bat-president]

I'm not a writer but i had this thought so- bear with me, yeah?

For months Eddie hears all about how cool and badass Steve Harrington is, yeah, but you know what he also hears about? How Steve and Robin are made for each other and how cool and pretty Robin is and how stupid it is that they're not a couple for some dumb reason, like Steve not wanting to be with a band geek and still clinging to high school hierarchy. And in all of the things Dustin says about Steeeve Harrington, that last part is the only thing that fits into the Munson Doctrine, so obviously everything else Henderson is saying is what's skewed in his little shrimp world view.

Steve Harrington thinks he's better than a band geek and that's why we won't look twice at a girl that would be perfect for him (according to Dustin Henderson, so... still questionably trustworthy information). Eddie probably assumes Dustin is talking up how close Steve and Robin actually are, just how he's exaggerating how close Dustin himself is to Harrington (like that would impress Eddie and the rest of Hellfire??? He really doesn't know how to get through to the little sheep that his worship of Hawkins' most notorious square is a detriment to his character and not something Eddie would find impressive. If it was real. Which it obviously isn't. Anyway-)

Turns out? Steve Harrington? Actually a cool dude. Not cool as in popular but cool as in "holy shit did he just bite that thing's head off???? Oh and he's not even gonna brag about that, it's just nbd, yeah sure, cool cool cool be fucking cool Eddie, oh god he's talking to me why is he talking to me" and just, chill to hang out with. After the whole shit show went down. Who would have fucking thought, huh? (except for Dustin Henderson, yeah yeah yeah, shut up)

So now Eddie has to reevaluate some other assumptions he made. Maybe Dustin was right and Steve actually is cool and badass, and he and Buckley actually are as close as he had said (and they really fucking are! He has seen them give Keith eerily matching bitchy looks for trying to schedule them on opposing shifts and basically bully the guy into changing the schedule around so they can spend as much time as possible in each other's presence. It's enough to make a guy question his own friendships when sometimes a few hours of band practice are enough to make him want to never see any of those chucklefucks again. Of course, that feeling abates but seriously, how are those two never sick of each other??)

So if they're as close as advertised but not a couple (and after meeting everyone Steve cares about and they're basically all nerds so the "Harrington thinks he's too good for a band geek" thing can't actually hold true-) what is the hold-up? Why aren't they a couple? And somehow, somehow Eddie comes to the conclusion that Steve is in love with Robin. Steve is a serial romantic (emphasis on romantic) and while his love life isn't the talk of the town post-earthquakes as it would have been before, people do still talk about the fact that he hasn't taken out a girl since it happened.

Which brings us to a day in summer, maybe fall, after Eddie has seen Steve look wistfully at a young couple with a baby, that he shows up at Robin's door step.

"Eddie? Hey what's up?"

"Good, good, how are you? Uhh can I... can I come in?" There's a nervous energy around him that is immediately infectious and she leads him to the living room where he immediately starts walking back and forth in front of the couch. She watches him for a moment, hands fluttering through different motions trying to find one that might calm him down before giving up on that. Instead Robin swerves around him, clambering onto the couch and wrapping her arms around her right leg, putting her head on her knee. She follows Eddie's path with her eyes and decides to wait before quickly realizing that she can't, actually.

"As riveting as it is watching you walk a groove into my parents' rug, do you maybe want to say something? I mean I can definitely talk enough for the both if us if that's what you want it's just that I have the slight suspicion you've got something you need to get off your chest" Eddie stopped walking halfway through her monologue and starts nodding.

"Yeah. Yeah yeah yes you're right it's just- I haven't a hundred percent made up my mind about saying something", Eddie has one arm wrapped around himself and uses the other to alternately play with his hair and gesticulate at her, "because on the one hand it's a little bit driving me crazy, maybe, but on the other hand this is none of my fucking business" And Robin who was worried at first just because Eddie is nervous, then for a second because she was scared he was going to confess to a very ill-advised crush on her, is stumped. What the fuck is this about and why did it bring him to her of all people?

"Just say it you weirdo", is what decides to comes out of her mouth but it doesn't even matter because half of her sentence is layered with his "Are you aware Steve is in love with you?"

[here we're facing the issue of me not actually being a writer and pretty much running out of steam but we also haven't reached the part that sparked this whole thing yet, which is wild - let's just pretend I wrote a very funny dialogue between those two in which Eddie confronts Robin for stringing poor Steve along ]

There's a moment when they're both silent and there's a moment when they're both talking and then there are steps coming down the stairs. They make a smirk grow on Robin's face that is starting to worry Eddie when not a parental figure but Steve Harrington steps through the doorway. He's wearing sweatpants and a shirt that might be Robin's and there's a headband pushing his hair away from his face.

"Don't yell at me for coming downstairs, you took forever and the first layer... is... dry....", he stops in his tracks the moment he looks up from his bare toes and sees Eddie. Then he very quickly rips off the headband and slings it somewhere to his right into the unknown of the hallway.

"Hi Eddie. What's... up" Eddie is going to sink into the floor and never come up for air again.

In the meantime Robin stood up on the couch to sit cross-legged on the back of it for a better vantage point and is steepling her fingers in front of her face. Eddie is getting the distinct impression he's missing some crucial information here.

"Stevie, babe, platonic love of my life-", Steve nods for her to go on, "you know how we decided I get a veto on your romantic life because we realized droves of suboptimal dates actually make you miserable so we're going for quality over quanity for the first time in your small-town Casanova life?" Steve has that cute little crease between his eyebrows while he's looking back and forth between Eddie and Robin, trying to figure out what's going on but he rolls his eyes at the end of her sentence, back in familiar territory. "Yes, Robin-"

She interrupts: "And you know how I also reserved the right to give a shovel slash molotov cocktail talk to anyone we deemed worthy of being a potential future partner?" Steve's face somehow shows an emotion that can only be encapsulated by "?!" as he glances to Eddie before shifting back to Robin with just the "?" remaining.

"First I have to say I'm personally very pro, I loved this experience; Eddie here really made a fool of himself, very worried for your delicate sensibilities and how I'm breaking your sweet little heart." "...what...?"

"So: what's the verdict on a potential future partner giving me the shovel talk?"

#Robin had painted 7 of Steve toes when Eddie rang the doorbell btw #they're a dark blue because Steve didn't want to jump into the deep end with too feminine a color #but black felt too edgy #but while they were drying and on the way down he kept looking at them and thinking #''i don't think this is my color... maybe a light blue? no too baby boy. yellow? nah that's ugly. orange? wait maybe with a stripe? #can nails be striped...?'' so when he arrived downstairs he was starting to worry he had never looked at a girl's nails because he didn't #know and whether that was sexist somehow #he had to shift gears very quickly when he arrived downstairs is what i'm saying #anyway i cannot stress enough how much i am not a writer #but the thing with the reverse shovel talk came to me and it wanted out #platonic stobin #steddie fic #steddie #hey i'm talkin' here #robin buckley #steve harrington #eddie munson #not beta read #top posts

Beauty and the Beast AU where Tuco is the Beast and Blondie is the Beauty.

The Beast is a prince who was cursed with a horrible appearance - he doesn’t care much about that tho, the thing is he was also cursed to stay confined to his castle and his woods. He wants to roam the world and wreak havoc but he can’t. Blondie’s not a harmless maiden tho. He is a man who has been an entitled prick all of his life, hunting freely in the woods of the Beast, who one day decides he has had enough. The Beast hunts down and almost kills the Beauty. He leaves him to die until a witch passing by wants to trick both of them and brings the Beauty to the Beast telling him that the only way to relieve the Beast of his curse is by making the Beauty live. So the Beast has to unwillingly take care of him. Of course they start out hating each other. The Beast is surprised at the frailty of the Beauty - the way he moans and whimpers when he is touched, so he has to handle him very carefully. It’s gonna be over soon anyway, he tells himself, while actually feeling that his loneliness has finally been breached, that the presence of this small whimpering thing is comforting, and keeps him busy, and he is growing fond of him, worrying about his health and thinking of ways he can make him feel better. The Beauty is still selfish and entitled but also charmed by the glimpses of humanity that shine through the hardened shell of the Beast - that tell him of the Beast’s loneliness and need to be loved. One day when he has finally healed completely he finds out he doesn’t want to leave because he fell in love with the Beast. The Beast is happy with his decision cause he fell in love too. The witch lied cause the Beast stays a Beast. But he is happy like that as I said. They live happily ever after.

Is that anything. Is that anything. Is that anything.

Perhaps if film adaptations stopped casting tall handsome men, instead of what Jane herself describes as a short, not handsome, kinda ugly guy, the dark academia girlies would stop romanticizing mr.rochester

#she LITERALLY will not stop calling him ugly in her head lmaoooo #all she says is he looks nicer to her to more she starts to like him #sorry for jane eyre posting im reading it for the 1st time and my god #her being 18 really jumps out sometimes

[The Final sugi dying kitten betrayal -> utsuro-gin fight -> sakura boat imagination -> completely tonally consistent with these ginpachi-sensei closer]

now listen. u know i would rather die than post five nearly-uninterrupted minutes of a fight scene. so take that into consideration.

#slight-- #flashing #--in the first scene but i tried to cut the worst of it #sopping wet gintoki posting #videos #my computer is screaming at me. can i recall my thoughts. #i think theyre INSANE for that utsuro falling -> takasugi bound on the ground watching shouyou's execution transition. #rereading the manga fight scene. there IS some. how do i want to phrase this. unreliable perspective fuckery. retconning of memories. #nonliterality Mind Tricks. but like. things still happened. this movie here takes it so far that im like. IS GINTOKI EVEN REAL? #is this just the gintoki that lives in takasugi's dying brain and utsuro's dying brain that utsuro got from shouyou's humanity brain fungus #being his shinigami/psychopomp to walk him thru his first ever death. guhhhhhhh. littlest baby on the planet who is afraid of dying. #<- i love utsuro with all my heart. sorry for being mean to him at first turns out he's the char of all time meant for me. #anyways i think the movie is. SO BALLSY to stretch reality so far for their climax fight. and in such a. way. #taking place in complete silence. almost no actual fighting in the 200 Chapters Of Fighting arc fight scene conclusion. #reanimating so many key moments just to canonize the identity blurring triangle between three dead guys (tho gintoki gets kicked out of #the world of the dead on that sakura boat. sad.) #just a really ambitious thing to put in this aesthetically ugly and boringly standard as hell movie. AND TO SERVE WHAT END. #more standard as hell jump Power Of Friendship in the end. just with some extra weird cannibal ouroboros endless mirrors gay ass flavor. #<- gintama has always been abt making and surviving connections im not mad abt that but u know. got so generic lol. #thoooooo rereading the manga scene and understanding the plot more this time i do like the feeling that utsuro wasnt defeated so much as #just ran out his time. being kept busy from causing more problems in his final hours w a pointless fight hed never be able to turn down. #[about to digress 20 more times] anyways what else. theres an utsuro soft expression when he regrows sugi's arm that i like. interesting-- #choice. i also cut it but i love gintoki wandering gaze avoiding sugis eyes dying in his arms. and his fighting back tears so badly. #the way the dynamic and emotionally destroying shot transitions dont stop even while sugi's dying. someone on staff was working their ass #off for him and i appreciate that.

#not like sneeg and charlie #in the way that ranboo and sneeg are brothers #the latching onto eachother way and knowing everything about the other but also nothing at the same time #they are so similar but also complete fucking opposites and #the suffrage of being gay and the suffrage of being a woman #being turned into something that youre not #sneeg doing anything for showfall to give him the slightest bit of approval and niki wanting to burn them to the ground #both of them dying ugly and alone just because they existed #post escape niki being proud of her identity and chopping all her hair off and dressing more masc #post escape sneeg doubling down on what showfall made him because he cant go through that again and its wrong and disgusting #and they both care about the others too much to the point of it being overbearing #except niki is always like that and sneeg wants everyone and himself dead half the time #sneeg praying to god until his hands are bloody and bruised and niki quietly bandaging his hands #because shes the only person that could ever even maybe begin to understand why he does it #niki shutting down if a guy calls her pretty or nice and sneeg immediately jumping between them #niki clinging to sneeg in public because he looks the meanest out of all of them and surely nobody will bother him #niki going into sneegs room at night and just sitting next to him because whenever he sleeps he wakes up crying #and

I was looking through my notes for Good Omens fanfiction, and realized almost every damn story includes Crowley having a baby.

There's the one where Heaven and Hell decide to use an angel baby carried by a demon as a diplomatic tool, leading into Crowley being protected by Michael, and them falling in love.

There's the one where she leaves her baby with Anathema and disappears, which triggers all the following events - from the search, to Aziraphale's trial, and everything else.

There's the one where she has to supply the new Antichrist, which leads to her and Lucifer falling in love, and her being crowned the Queen of Hell. (Well, this one is really two stories set in different timelines, in the second one the "baby" is like 27)

In the one inspired by a dream, she does have a baby eventually, but that's far from the worst thing that happens to her. Gabriel's treatment of her after is... How the Hell will I write this damn thing if I can't even think about it.

There's no baby in the one where she gets tortured with diluted holy water.

I see I have no storyline with male Crowley just yet... Fine, that's not true. I do have some thoughts for Crowley x Fem!Lucifer... It could include a new Antichrist, too. And, Crowley wouldn't be the pregnant one for once. But, dealing with pregnant Lucifer would probably be even scarier.

Rebecca sees a twisted logic in this hatred. For Millennials in particular, she told me, fans’ sense of their own morality is deeply entwined with fandom. 'We hang so much of our own identity on these things that we love,' she said. 'So if those things are threatened, you either have to admit that you’re sort of a bad person for liking those things or you have to convince yourself that everyone else is wrong.'

#still reading the article but man this quote jumped out at me right away! #also (as i read on in horror): how is it that groups of people can get so ugly about literally ANYTHING #(can you imagine being the female s/o of a fandom-beloved man ............... god.) #also! i think it's important to keep in mind that we can't control what celebrities do. #we can't control what the people involved in our favorite stuff do #and we're not answerable if they wind up doing something reprehensible #i think it's important to have more of a sense of that divide you know? #we enjoy them in the specific context of their work but it doesn't mean we're responsible for them because that's impossible #idk exactly what i'm trying to say but i know what i'm feeling! #i'm just bad at ... saying words #i guess just being aware that you enjoy that figure specifically in the context of the work they're doing in a particular project #is way more healthy than feeling like you're somehow connected to who they are personally #because of course ... none of us are! #and so then maybe that way if something horrible happens like this w/ d*pp #you don't feel like it's also saying something about you
