“The demon is back.” Eddie pokes into Steve’s side to wake him up.

“Babe, please go back to sleep.” Steve shoves his face into the pillow, making his voice muffled.

“Steeeeve.” Eddie whines, “It’s really there I swear this time. And I locked the door so I know it’s the demon again. Nothing else can get inside.”

“Eddie.” Steve squishes his face even deeper into the mattress. “You do this at least once a week. I love you; I do. But I never look because there is no demon. And every morning, you wake up fine. So please, go back to sleep.”

“What if I promise never to mention it again if it’s not really there? Will you look then?” This time Eddie’s voice wavers, his actual terror showing.

Steve sighs and shifts his head to look at Eddie, “This is really freaking you out, huh?” He says it kindly. Steve can tell this is serious to Eddie. So even if he doesn’t believe it, Eddie does. And what’s important to Eddie is important to Steve.

Eddie nods back furiously.

“Okay, I’ll look.” Steve shifts his head towards the other side, where the chair by the window sits. There, sitting in that corner is a dark shadowy figure. “Oh.”

“See! I told you! Demon! Oh god, it’s gonna get us.” Eddie throws his hands up. Even though he’s terrified, he’s accepted defeat.

“No.” Steve says calmly. “It’s just El.”

Eddie pauses his rant, “What?”

“It’s just El. In the corner. She does that sometimes, watches people she cares about until she falls asleep. To make sure they’re safe.” Steve looks at Eddie.

“The door was locked! How are you so calm about one of the kids just watching us at night?”

“Honey, she has mind powers. I don’t think a flimsy lock from Home Depot is going to stop her.” Steve deadpans before shrugging, “And it’s El. She could ask me to kill a man, and I probably wouldn’t even ask questions.”

“What if she asked you to kill me?”

“I’d be conflicted.”

“I want to be mad, but honestly I think I’d hand you the knife.” Eddie sighs, looking down at Steve.

Steve scoffs, “Don’t be ridiculous. I wouldn’t stab you. I’d obviously sneak some kind of poison into your honeycombs. Way less messy.”

Eddie goes back to nearly shouting, “Why have you thought about this?!”

“Honestly, I have a lot of intrusive thoughts. I just don’t speak them out loud.”

Despite the fact they are actively talking about his murder, Eddie can’t help but get all gooey with Steve in their bed. “Is this why you don’t get mad when I think aloud? Another reason why you just get me. Adding that tally to the ‘why we are great together’ column.”

“Yes, we’re pretty amazing. Can we go back to sleep now?” Steve smiles.

“Yes—wait, no.” Eddie corrects himself, getting himself back on track. He loves this man, but he is a sneaky little minx. “Why did El never say anything? I mean, this is not the first time I accused her of being a demon. Hell, we’ve been talking for literally five minutes, and she still hasn’t said anything. Also, what if she walked in on us doing, ya know, adult stuff?” Eddie blushes at the end. He’s acting like he hasn’t been whispering way worse things in Steve’s ear every night.

“First off, she won’t walk in on that. Apparently Max taught her about happy screams a long time ago.”

“Gross.”

“Yeaaa. Second, I’m pretty sure she’s asleep right now.”

Huh, now that Eddie thinks about it, he does hear soft little snores. Which is weird since neither he nor Steve snores, and they are both, ya know, awake.

“And I don’t think El speaking in a dark corner would have helped your fears. Like imagine just hear her soft “Hello” at 2 a.m.” Steve raises an eyebrow.

“I—okay I got nothing.”

“Fantastic can we go back to sleep now?”

Eddie gives one last shout, “You’re not going to stop her?”

“Are you going to tell her no? And make her worry?”

Eddie slinks down into the covers, “...no.”

“That’s what I thought.”

Eddie curves his body into Steve’s, seeking him out. Steve wraps his arms around Eddie, securing him to his chest. “Thank you for indulging me.”

Steve hums. “Anything for you baby. I love you.”

“I love you too.” Eddie kisses Steve lightly.

“I love you both as well.” El’s voice suddenly speaks into the silent room.

“Jesus Christ!” Eddie screams.

Steve can’t help the giggles that come out of him. He tries to smother them into Eddie’s shoulder.

Eddie can’t find it in himself to be mad.

———

some people seemed interested in more el + Steve sibling energy. And they are a sibling-like duo I love. So here’s a little something but more steddie involved. I think all three of their relationship would be very sweet. Both Eddie and Steve would protect el. I hope you enjoyed :)

#steddie #stranger things #el and Steve have a sibling relationship #el could set the world on fire and Steve would say good job #both Steve and Eddie have intrusive thoughts #they just go about it in different ways #Eddie Munson #eleven hopper #ficlet #fluff #steven harrington #my writing #no byler in this one sorry #steve harrington is a sweetheart #everybody lives/nobody dies #Post season 5 #steve x eddie

I am once again job searching.... I am beginning to think capitalism is simply not for me. also do you know much easier my life in the bay area would be if I had any kind of skills that would transfer to a corporate or tech setting

#or was willing and able to move out of the bay area lol that's the other one. but that's a way more complicated discussion #but like imagine a world where i have a job i tolerate and isn't soulcrushing that allows me to make money...wow... #my work experience is like 1) public and academic libraries 2) human trafficking survivors 3) religious settings #AND LIKE OBVIOUSLY I CAN SPIN ALL OF THAT #but sometimes i go on teamwork and i look at sports jobs and i'm like. i could do that #i would be so good at social impact shit #but broadly if i was a hiring manager in any corporate setting i'd see my work experience and go. that's a hot mess. absolutely not #which i have found libraries and nonprofits are a little more tolerant of a chaotic resume.....alas #anyway if i seem insane in the next couple of months. it's bc my org is in a state of decay and i am not committed enough #to stick through to the end and/or be fired when we start losing funders. god bless bake on #fresno oilers.txt

what makes minedai even sadder is that we never rlly see daigo try to build a bond with anyone else like he did with mine it rlly shows how badly it effected him like yeah he reached out to shinada in y5 but that’s rlly it and he probably would wanna leave him alone after that and not involve him in any yakuza stuff so i don’t think they would’ve hung out or anything like that afterwards. All he rlly had were saejima and majima but they were more like babysitters than anything, wish we saw more of their dynamic tho like we did with majima and daigo in dead souls since that was fun and we were lowkey robbed but in canon he’s just as lonely as he was before majimas promise to kiryu. And mine is the only person he really had a meaningful relationship with romantic or not they were still really close and we don’t see that again with daigo ever (from what i recall after y3) ok sorry for rambling LMFAO

even with shinada, he reached out to him more so out of 'duty' and trying to make up for the misfortune that befell him because of yakuza than wanting to rekindle any kind of friendship they might have had in high school (though it sounds more like they were just acquaintances if shinada needing a second to remember who daigo was is anything), so yah i doubt they really had any kind of bond afterwards

dead souls really was the only time after Y3 where we got to see daigo be more sociable with someone, but its as you say majima and saejima are more like retainers than close friends

#snap chats #you can tell i was into fire emblem when the first term that comes to my mind to call majima and saejima was 'retainers' omfg #but yeah ..... depressing .... #does make me wonder who daigo was on the phone with during the rggo story though. like clearly daigo has friends #apparently. we just never see or hear of them. tho ig it is implied those were his friends from the y2 era. as mine said flarkjla #REGARDLESS yeah after y3 daigo just feels depressing to watch #i think its just because he really has to do everything on his own now #but not even have a friend to just chill with at the end of the day- like the technical work is whatever. for the most part #THATS stressful obvi so to not have anyone to really be personable with thats probably the dire part. imo. #cause yk the world could suck but as long as you have that One Person to just relax with then its ok but with mine gone. 🧍‍♂️ #probably doesnt help that like. during the 'flashback' segment of y3 where we get to see daigo sitting with kiryu and nakahara #we see him all cheery and bein a lil jokester and just. A Happy Dude #granted this is barely a year or two into being chairman so The Horrors Havent Set In relatively but still ... i miss his smile .. #every time i think of daigo post-mine i think of those like. tragedies or accounts of people where its like #'after X's friend/lover died they never found another again' like thats the vibe i always get #he really packed it up and never got close with anyone else again and it makes me want to throw up #y4 widow arc still good tho it makes me chortle

i'm sure it'd definitely be a less meaty failed apocalypse than it was with Zebra, but who knows what it would have actually ended up being like if it had been one of the others involved. a "fun" hypothetical.

“#true love won't desert you truly a mileven thesis statement of a lyric damn” EXACTLY!!!’ Exactly.

the way mike refuses to let her ever isolate or sacrifice herself. the way he is always there for her when she needs him and vice versa. i am going to cry i love them so much

#i could go on forever about this #about them being there for each other constantly #and when el is upset mike never stops until he knows whats wrong and how to help #the way he just wants to be there for her supporting her in every way he can #from setting the tunnels on fire to protect her to crossing the country just so she doesn't have to go through something so hard alone #HOW am i supposed to be normal about them?? #el seeing mike in trouble and getting on a bus to him as soon as possible in s2 #there are a million other examples but im going to go into cardiac arrest lmao #mileven #my favorites in the whole world <3

Don't talk to me, I'm thinking about Clark Kent and the inherent tragedy of a weapon who only wants to heal

#an alien god whose greatest wish is to be human #is he over powered? yes. and yet he always falls short #he can only use so much of his powers to be able to heal #and to save #and not to truly harm those he fights #and those who watch #and yet #he believes his powers were created for good #were created to heal #to protect #don't you see how you crush the things you love? set fire to all that you see? #everyone else sees it #Bruce. Luthor. even Diana #''why are you superman?'' ''because no one else can be'' #but that's not exactly true. is it? #because he's not superman #if superman is some ideal benevolent god who can solve the world's problems... than he is not superman no matter how hard he tries to be #if superman is some all powerful destructive ruling god... then he is not superman and does everything not to be #if superman is the latter then he could be super man #but he's not #so why is he superman? #because no one else has the ability to try. and no one else has the ability to refuse #okay up tearing up again I'm gonna go to slee #dc comics #superman #clark kent #my rambles

I was sketching turtles designs and I sort of on a wip gave him top surgery scars (he isn’t trans in this au tho) and I got to thinking what would happen in wings of fire if a prince or princess realized they were trans.

like this my au, cliff (ruby’s kid from peril’s book) is a trans girl. Do you think there’s dragons that would say that she’s only transitioning so she could be in line for the throne? What about situations like the SeaWings had? Were all their female eggs were being killed?

if anemone was a transboy would coral have ever allowed them to transition?

#Coral feels transphobic to me anyway lmao #But it poses a really interesting world building set up. Ikd #Also do you think Orca wouldn’t have killed a trans guy in the egg? Could it tell??? #wings of fire #human au #wings of fire as humans

The Djinn’s facial journey throughout this episode was amazing, he really is just watching this whole soap opera go down

#that’s why he gave Nandor the new lamp #he can’t NOT watch Nandor fuck more shit up #if I were him I’d give him 1000 wishes just so that I could watch Nandor set the world on fire with his dumbassery #what we do in the shadows #wwdits #wwdits fx #wwdits spoilers #wwdits s4 #wwdits s4 spoilers

His room, five paces down the hall from her own, carries the same dryness that sits on his clothes: a cool brush of evening air through the open window, their city's sweet-soured tang mingling with the spice of his cigars, the dusky notes of his cologne, the polished cedar of the floors: all deep greens and old carpets and the scent of tobacco on his fingers, where they tick an ivory comb through the knots in her hair.

Hilariously I’ve come to the conclusion that my ideal type of fictinal crush, is simply someone who could kill me, so easily, but they don’t cuz I’m theyre special little guy :3

#i realized this when i had a late night convo with my roommate lol #its mostly the menacing aura and the feeling that they could #but they choose not to #cuz ur theyre little guy and if any harm comes to you they will set the world on fire #:3 #fictional crushes #i should have known this #looking at the evidence it’s overwhelming- #leaf posts

Had an interesting idea. You may have noticed that in this post I implied that there may be at least one non-game-based living Character-Level server somewhere out in the digital multiverse that nobody knows about yet because they think it's impossible for one to form without outside influence. Well, I figured out which one it is: A universe made from a pirated collection of every official episode, movie, short, music video, and even scans of the dubiously canon IDW comics run of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, along with any other official media I can't think of at the moment. Because I can. Whoever owns the collection doesn't know that they have a real live Equestria at their fingertips because the actual media storage is a layer above the living universe (or universes, what with Starswirl's Mirror Portals), so watching/reading the stuff doesn't affect what's happening down there or vice-versa, and the characters also don't know that they're digital beings brought to life by the love of a fan.

If anyone, be they Program, Virus, Anomaly, or Character, were to go there they'd be changed into a form that fits the universe (so a pony/dragon/griffon/etc. choose whatever fits best in the main world, a human with the same color scheme as their Equestria form in the Canterlot High world) Because Mirror Portal Magic, though Code-Level entities can change back to their usual form if they prefer. When they leave they go back to normal. If any locals ever managed to go to other digital universes they'd stay in their usual forms because Most Universes Don't Do That. It's similar to the Enforced Art Styles of the Cats are Liquid and Fairly Oddparents universes, though FiM and CaL are obviously more drastic than FOP.

The first major characters to find out about this are Ozymandias and Garyboy, who stumble upon it at some point post-release and decide to use it as a base of operations, on the grounds that 1) Nobody else knows this world exists, 2) if anyone else did find it they'd never expect those two to be living there, and 3) the whole transformation thing means they can hide in plain sight. When they're there Garyboy is a purple-and-green pegasus with a black-cupped plunger for a cutie mark, while Ozzy is a vaguely serpentine dragon and his maneuver form is a Kirin. They later find out that prolonged exposure to Equestria's magic has had side-effects, namely that they can now use their Equestrian Form abilities (weather magic for Gary, fire breath, flaming rage form and unicorn magic for Ozzy) in their normal forms. That'll be fun to show off to their enemies.

#smg4 ocs #au lore #mlp fim #ozymandias #garyboy #it's (partially) MY megacrossover au and i get to pick whatever fandoms i want for it #this is at least partially so i can come up with everyone's ponysonas when the time comes for the “Give Back Root You Bastard” confrontatio #in terms of the show timeline equestria is currently post-finale (so Twilight's in charge of equestria) #but pre-epilogue (so everybody has their more recognizable character models) #(and i don't have to figure out where the Many Many out-of-focus major characters ended up after the 20-ish year timeskip) #might also include the previous mlp generations as their own connected worlds with their own mirror portals #though not gen 5 since 1) Timeskip Issues and 2) it probably isn't as alive as the other worlds given it's still so new #the other gens wouldn't get much focus since i don't know much about them but it could be interesting to have them there #ozzy probably has Way too much fun with the fact that he can now set things on fire

M/M Shezleth where Shez survives his encounter with Byleth in the Three Houses timeline, but because he lives, the universe is consistently trying to “correct” itself and have him die/kill him because he’s not supposed to be there.

Maybe Arval isn’t here/awake, so Shez survives through sheer luck and there’s no one to “keep” the cycle alive like Arval does in Three Hopes, so the universe has nothing to stop it from trying to correct itself.

And Blue Lions!Byleth ends up becoming close to him and entering a timeloop to try and save him every time and failing because of their respective virtues and faults.

Byleth, despite his ability to guide others, is guarded (and unwilling to let others into the know), and Shez is too reckless and willing to rush into things to save his friends despite his outward flippancy. Just Byleth being willing to sacrifice other people to save Shez, but Shez not allowing him to and unwittingly/willingly defying Byleth’s will as the Asura.

Shez knowing Something is up, but he’s not sure what.

Just…”the goddess who is akin to a devouring devil and the devil who is akin to a saving goddess.”

It’s that same love that drives Rhea to try and to resurrect her mother being paralleled with Byleth and his inability to let the dead stay dead.

Call that an Greek tragedy.

#shezleth #fire emblem #its always Blue Lions Route Byleth because it’s the most coherent route to me with how the chapters are set up #Shez being someone who was meant to be forgotten by the world and history #and Byleth unwilling to take his role as the goddess and become that savior figure because it means abandoning the devil #Byleth as the ‘tyrant goddess’ who acts in the name of love #Byleth being willing to sacrifice the world if it meant that he could save Shez #and that love is what makes him a monster #and unwilling to let the world forget him
