Ok, so I think I’m finally sufficiently bored enough and have enough time on my hands to do this.

First post of the planned six ??? I have in mind dedicated to analyzing (every frame he’s in) Alastor and whatever his deal is in each of the episodes he shows up in!

Part 1 of Episode 1!

So let’s start right away with Episode 1! (I am skipping the pilot for now, because the characterization of his character has changed some. Particularly how he presents himself to Charlie and how he acts around Vaggie.)

First time we hear about Alastor is Vaggie mentioning he had something he wanted to show Charlie and Vaggie. This implies that while the two may have asked him to make the TV ad, he does seem eager to show off his work. And that they probably haven’t asked how much of the ad he’s finished.

First time we see Alastor is during his little TV ad!

He’s actually walking around Hell holding a camera and recording the ongoings of the sinners there, most likely what’s literally happening down the street from the hotel.

Notably, none of the demons start running away in fear, instead they all just look. Really confused.

More of them do pop out of the rubble when he starts speaking.

All of them do appear to be listening. Even the guy who was getting beat up.

Looks like he interrupted a turf war of some kind, or was recording in a place that hadn’t recovered from the extermination. Or a combination of both, this was likely recorded within 5 days of the last extermination.

When his hand appears in front of the camera the video glitches slightly.

There’s a messy static filled cut when he pans over to the hotel, so probably recorded the hotel’s image separately. Or while panning he caught himself in the camera by accident and couldn't be bothered to fix/redo it.

All the other shots of the hotel members are very clearly candid ones. So Alastor waking around the hotel recording everyone is canon, btw (someone make a comic or fic about the hotel members asking why he’s walking around recording them).

When he’s recording Charlie, Angel Dust pops up to give her 4 bunny ears and Alastor shifts the camera just slightly more to the left to recenter Charlie and push Angel a bit further out of the frame lol

He says “founded by Lucifer’s delusional daughter 5 days ago!” Which means he, at the very least, did the voice over 5 days after the hotel’s opening/extermination day, and 2 days before he shows Charlie and Vaggie the finished product. Probably spent all that time editing the whole thing lol.

Next shot of Charlie seems to have been a clip of her failed attempt at advertising the hotel’s opening from the pilot.

The next clip is actually very well edited together. It’s a still image of the hotel in the background while photos of Charlie are placed over top of it. So we know he either edited those photos to slide onscreen and added the little fwhip noise of photos being placed, or he green-screened that scene on a table and cleaned it up that you couldn’t tell it was green screened.

Also how did he get those photos? Were they just lying around?? Did he photoshop them???

By this point it’s clear he’s doing a voice over for his ad, so we don’t know if what he said at the beginning to all those sinners are what we hear in the ad, or if he was spouting off nonsense to grab their attention lol

The remaining shots of the hotel and the residents are longer clips, but also just so happen to capture the worst state the hotel is in (Husk collapsing onto the bar counter, a rafter? Beam falling and crashing onto the parlor table, Angel Dust being so done with Alastor’s bullshit he’s giving the camera a middle finger.) this implies that Alastor was either waiting around for the perfect shot, orchestrated those events himself, or by complete coincidence filmed it once and it was just Like That.

These shots are also interspersed with bold full cap messages that follow the narration he’s doing. Definitely edited in, and very reminiscent of those old informercial ads. Also the little spins and borders and sound effects and WOW.

And the fun little background music playing the entire ad.

Never caught this on the first watch through, but all the shots where Alastor’s actually recording with a camera are always slightly unsteady, like he’s doing it with a handheld recorder. Which means the shots where it’s not wobbling slightly weren’t recorded by him. Which means he actually did edit in those photos and that sound effect.

He keeps the sound of the camera zooming in and out. Actually, he didn’t edit out any of the original sound from the videos. You can hear Nifty very quietly go “Staby stab!” And the sound of the wood beam crashing into the table.

The clip of his drawing was recorded. He’s holding a camera up to the drawing instead of just taking a picture of it. You can tell because the camera slides around a little.

Lots of fun things on the drawing!

Looks like he drew the hotel on some clean, new paper, then cut it out to tape it onto something older and with a Danger: Authorized Personnel Only sign on it. Which was then stained with blood. Somehow. Or he cut out someone else’s drawing of the hotel.

There’s a lot of detail in the drawing, it looks surprisingly good, but the coloring is very low effort.

Actually, I think he stole someone else’s drawing. The handwriting for the sign on the hotel is slightly different to the one that’s scribbled everywhere else. The drawing is also done with a much finer pen than Alastor’s notes. He might’ve colored it tho, and added the little red lights to the radio tower lol

He stuck smiley face stickers all over the paper, and then drew bigger sharper smiles on them.

Sale, 50% off, $1

Ship! I guess

The sticky note with “No tacky circus decor! I promise”

“Neat”

“HOTEL!!!”

“Haha I named it!”

“Best part!” Points to the radio tower that definitely looks like he just slapped it onto the side of the building.

All his notes are written in capital letters, the handwriting isn’t bad, but it is uneven. Hard to tell if he did it on purpose or if that’s just his handwriting. They are also, for the most part, written slanted instead of straight, which is an interesting detail.

The final shot of the ad is a pan-up of the hotel. This time the camera remains steady the whole way up and even as it stops to focus on the hotel’s sign. Which we know is still a recording because the lights are flickering. This means the guy finally pulled out a camera stand or something and used it for the final shot.

Call now! Or don’t! We still don’t have a working phone!

The voice he does for the TV ad is slightly different to his normal speaking voice. I can’t tell if it’s because the filter is stronger in the ad, or if it’s because he’s actively putting on an advertisement voice, but something about the intonation or inflection sounds distinctly different when we cut back to reality and Alastor speaks normally.

Best thing about all this is how the low effortness of the ad is 100% on purpose. He could summon up an entire recording studio cast complete with all the necessary equipment. He's choosing to make it look unprofessional (and then did an absurd amount of editing for it all anyways).

Holy shit how did that get so long. What have I gotten myself into

Anyways! Alastor worked very hard on his ad, despite how low effort it seems at first. It took him like, a week to finish. And he did it all by hand/himself.

Like, guys. This is Alastor. Self proclaimed hater of all things technological after the 1930s. Made a fully edited— with music, visuals and sound effects— video advertisement for the hotel because Charlie and Vaggie “insisted” he make (a TV ad) one.

It’s well made too. 100% captured the tone he was going for. I have no idea why they didn’t like it lol

.....so I had less time than I thought I did. Gonna have to post the rest of the episode 1 analysis later.

I love Dundy so so much but Christ, do I hate how fucking calm he seems in that Lawful Mutiny scene...!

Little is riled the fuck up. He's the most animated and impassioned we've perhaps ever seen him, using uncharacteristically expressive language too ("this coven of traitors", "that devil").

Le Vesconte, in sharp contrast, appears cool and collected, to the point of complete detachment and numbness (I say appears because of course he's suffering too). He speaks slowly and plainly, clearly having rehearsed, and chooses his words very very carefully indeed (those too ill to walk will not be left behind, for example, they'll just "stay").

It's almost like he's that arsehole in a disagreement who tries to convince you that they're right just because they're arguing in a calm, 'logical', grammatically-correct manner, and you're wrong just because you're getting passionate and emotional over the subject at hand.

Like, just imagine being Little in that situation!

You've been suppressing your emotions for god knows how long, keeping your anger and resentment simmering just below the surface for as long as you can remember for fear of what will happen if you let those emotions show, fear that it'll just make things worse.

But finally you can suppress no longer, something in you breaks. All that anger and resentment starts to boil over but you find that you were right - letting those emotions show didn't help at all, it made everything worse, just as you feared.

#I don't think I'm articulating this as well as I'd like to #Same old story #But nevertheless I persist #I'm having a lot of feelings about this today and I just need to get them out somehow #It's just the lack of catharsis y'know?#The idea of letting go and ceasing to give a shit and tearing your treacherous coworker a new one #Only it doesn't help #It doesn't make you feel any better and it doesn't change anything #You're just screaming at a brick wall #Oh lord I'm rambling #Ooh boy this got real long and real incoherent real fast.#The Terror #The Terror AMC #Edward Little #Dundy #Henry Le Vesconte #Meta #Observations #Random Observations

#elvis presley #baby elvis #daydreaming that he gets his ticket #and he rants all the way home to audubon about how he can't do nothing #not even get his haircut #without someone giving him grief for it #he warns me not to tell his mother that he's got yet another ticket #back home he paces around #can't settle #then he grabs my hand and announces we're going out #he's in a real mood and snaps: “I'll be back when I'm back!” when Gladys asks how long he'll be #he'll regret that later when he's calmed down and knows he'll have to face her wrath #he pulls on his motorcycle cap and yanks me onto his harley behind him #he'll also regret that later when I know he's calmed down enough to show my wrath #we don't even stop at the bottom of the drive to give any of the kids an autograph #they scatter as he screeches off down the residential road #he's going too fast and weaving around staid fords and chevys #but i trust him #i don't know why #by the time we hit the highway my hair is a wreck- a lion's mane across my face #i press my cheek against the warmth of his back and feel the tension easing #he whoops out a war cry #or maybe a howl of freedom and tugs my arm tighter around his waist #as we accelerate towards nowhere

"what would your character be like without their trauma?" is such a hard question for me because it makes me feel like a massive asshole LMAO

(im attaching a picture of a tundra literally to add context to my ramble in the tags because my posts are structured by a sane person) (you should read the ramble in the tags i talk so much about rivers fsr)

#like. rivers would probably just purpose funky things for the hell of it and study lizards and stuff #i think environmentalism would matter to him since he was created long before the great equalizer when there was like. actually a view #have you guys ever looked at a tundra for real theyre so pretty. i think the colours would be funkier though #purples and blues along with the reds and oranges i think but id have to draw it tio be sure its not ugly #anyways. rivers would probably be interested in nature conservation especially since the ancients destroyed the world-#but the iterators construction obviously had a massive part in that so hed feel ownership #him and glass wouldve got along VERY well in this circumstance since that matters a lot to her (specifically animal conservation though)#but at the same time glass doesnt exist without rivers trauma right. she cant exist if flowers isnt in his life because he Literally built #her (glass) just to be mean to rivers #doomed for real #i....... want them to be friends in the walky au. my massive block is trying to think of some reason nights Needs to leave his can because #he wouldnt if not required. and glass just wouldnt leave him. in no circumstance would they willingly separate from eachothers company #theyd ALSO need to be really fast because the only opportunity nights would get to get out is when odyssey goes to him to help her build #the weapon she needs to kill dune. (odyssey has the gift. the twins dont know anyone else who does((other than phrases obvsly)))#this happens a considerable amount of time after phrases and rivers escape. they have like. a month's time on them #odysseys like “if you guys are for real about leaving do NOT go straight south. dont. dont. dont. youre like 2 feet tall you WILL die”#nights is like “DEAR GOD SERIAL KILLERS??????” and glass is like “wtf youre only like a foot taller than us”#anyways i think glass and rivers would get along and rivers has a positive arc here right and realizes hes wrong and hes glad he didnt.#kill the twins. yeah its good you didnt do that dude #i jsut really really think theyd get along if rivers had the chance to associate her with anything but flowers horrid treatment of him #because in the normal story all he sees when he sees her is flowers. and like flowers could the twins can tap into his work and see his #files and logs and such whenever they wanted. they didnt do this very often- glass really never looked at rivers work unless she was told t #but rivers was just made SO paranoid by flowers abuse that thinking of being watched makes him feel sick and horrible #and his whole thing is trying to find a way to feel less horrible right so thats (part of) why he decides to get rid of them #hm. if rivers wassnt traumatized hed like nature and creatures. anyways #oc posting #look to the tags for the oc posting

Okay I thought I was done but apparently I'm not. I need to talk more about this banter you can get during the Legacy DLC between Aveline and Warden Carver because it makes me want to scream.

Aveline: I'm glad you found a place with the Wardens. Carver: Well, it's not the city guard, but it'll do. Aveline: Carver... it wasn't the place for you. Carver: No, it's all right. It is. It cost a lot, but I get it. I really was a bit of a tit those days, wasn't I? Aveline: Well...

In my last post, I talked about how Aveline had no place telling the guard to refuse Carver's application, regardless of if he was "right" for the job or not. But I believe he would've made a great guard, and getting that job not only would've provided for him and his family during a desperate time, but would've prevented him from either fate of becoming a warden or a templar. He was unfairly robbed of a chance to prove himself because Aveline believed he wasn't right for the guard.

This is one of the banters I brought up but didn't go too in depth about. At this point, it's been between 3-6 years since Act 1, depending on if you decided to do Legacy in Act 2 or Act 3, and every line here is important.

Carver's response to Aveline saying she's glad he "found a place" with the wardens is so telling. Not being accepted by the guard is still on his mind after all this time. He wouldn't bring it up if it didn't still bother him, and implies that he still would've preferred the guard over the wardens.

Which... yeah. Listen, I'm a dedicated "Carver joins the Grey Warden" player. I don't like leaving him behind to become a templar, and I certainly don't like him dying. For me, the Grey Wardens are the best outcome he has. It’s where he seems the happiest and finds the most fulfilment, and it fits well with how I play my Hawke. But it obviously has some tragic issues.

Like the fact that becoming a Grey Warden only delayed his inevitable death within the Deep Roads. Eventually his Calling will come, and Carver will go back down there and fight until the darkspawn eventually kill him. I'm sure that's not traumatic to think about given he was a soldier at Ostagar and then watched Bethany die at the hands of an ogre. Oh, and there's the whole nightmares and voices thing.

Carver didn't choose this life for himself. It was either this or death, but a "what if?" still lingers in his mind about the city guard.

Something Aveline ruined for him.

And continues to ruin.

Aveline: Carver... it wasn't the place for you.

You hear that? In the distance? That's me screaming.

I must reiterate; what makes Aveline believe it's her place to tell Carver whether or not the city guard was right for him? Why did she think she should get a say in whether or not the guard takes him? What's made it HER call?

And still, after all this time has passed, she believes it wasn't right for him and she's unwilling to consider otherwise. Maker forbid she do some reflection and question if she was in the right for interfering at all, too!

Carver is standing right there before her, proving everything she said about him wrong, and she just doubles down. There's no reason to say this to him unless she's trying to remind him of his place; he's a Grey Warden, and she's Guard-Captain of Kirkwall's city guard. But c'mon, Aveline, he's hardly a threat to your precious guard anymore given the whole dedication to killing darkspawn thing he has now.

Maybe if you paid more attention to the threats within your guard, Kirkwall would be a safer place with less murder going around? Just saying!

But isn't that how it's always been? Aveline putting him in his place, making sure Carver remembers she's always outranked him?

Carver: Did you approve my application? Aveline: I can't make you a guard, Carver. Carver: We were both soldiers. Why won't they take me? Aveline: I was an officer. And I follow orders. Carver: [laughs] No you don't. Aveline: I also think of others before myself. You seem tired of that, and that's dangerous. Carver: Just when it's not my choice. You told them not to take me, didn't you? Aveline: Yes.

That he should remember who he's talking to?

Carver: I'm surprised you still travel with us, Aveline. Aveline: Carver, don't. Carver: You're ever so busy with the guardsmen. It must be a burden to slum with the refugees. Aveline: It's oddly comforting that you insult me like I'm family. Carver: That wasn't... no, I didn't mean that. Aveline: I know. But you should be glad that's how I took it.

That she's in charge?

Aveline: Your form's sloppy, Carver. Stiffen up or the darkspawn will take your blade. Carver: Right. I'll keep that in mind. Aveline: And you're angry, why? Carver: You didn't fare any better than I did the last time we faced darkspawn. Aveline: If they take your blade, people die. That's not happening again. Stiffen up. Carver: Yes ma'am.

Oh, and she used to spy on him [and Hawke].

Aveline: I don't like some of the people you've been associating with, Carver. Carver: Talk to my brother/sister. He/She's the one in charge. Aveline: Maybe, but I know you get around. This city's full of people who are dead set on ending badly. I don't want to see you end up the same way. Carver: Would asking you to stop spying on me help in the least? Aveline: No.

That's their banter.

But sure, she's glad he found a place in the wardens. I don't think she's being ingenuine when she says that, but I think it's a little more complicated than a mere "congrats on doing well, I knew you could do it."

But Carver's response? Oh Maker's ass. It actually hurts me.

Carver: No, it's all right. It is. It cost a lot, but I get it. I really was a bit of a tit those days, wasn't I? Aveline: Well...

I... what can I even say?

He accepts it, but you can tell it hurts to do so. It DID cost a lot. More than Aveline will ever understand. And it doesn't matter now! He can't become a guard now anyway, so what would be the point in him disagreeing with her? Carver acts as the bigger person here because he does get it, even if Aveline doesn't.

But it's that last part... that last damn part... Don't be alarmed, that screaming you hear is still me.

Here's the deal; Carver acknowledges that he could be an ass back in Act 1. Hell, he acknowledges it IN Act 1. For example, when you talk to him after finding your grandfather's will, he's an ass to you about Bethany no matter what you say.

But y'know what? You can be the biggest piece of shit to him and have Hawke literally call him a "lazy brat with a chip on his shoulder," and Carver will still be the one to be apologetic for what he said and attempt to explain his feelings.

"Brother/Sister... I feel... I don't know. It's like Mother taking things out on us. She was just scared. I don't have a place in the life she's trying to bring back…"

Carver can be an ass, but he's aware of that and actively tries to change his behavior. If you bring him and Fenris with you on the Mark of the Assassin DLC, there's a moment where Carver says, "You still don't like me? I've tried to change." And if you bring Varric, he once again acknowledges that he used to be an ass.

BUT... that being said. If you don't remember, "I really was a bit of a tit those days, wasn't I?" is referencing back to this conversation in the barracks of Act 1:

Hawke: This must be a very different pace from serving King Cailan. Aveline: It's just one more change, though. The real end for me was Ostagar. What about you Carver? You were there. Do you feel something similar? Carver: No. Aveline: All right, then. Bit of a tit, your brother.

Now, I've already expressed my beef with Aveline over insulting Carver in the middle of the barracks just because he doesn't agree with her view point on Ostagar... but consider the fact that Carver says nothing. He just lets her insult him without a complaint! Carver Hawke, who tends to complain! And he says nothing!

Not only that, but he actually internalized that insult enough that years later he's able to repeat it back to Aveline word for word, and all she has to say is, "Well..."

This isn't the same thing as him reflecting on his past behavior and acknowledging his flaws. This is Carver accepting a snide jab Aveline made that hurt him because apparently he was wrong for not wanting to discuss any trauma Ostagar left him with as openly as she does.

Oh, and don't forget that any other companion you brought along dogpiles on, too!

Carver: No, it's all right. It is. It cost a lot, but I get it. I really was a bit of a tit those days, wasn't I? Aveline: Well... Varric: No shit. Fenris: Insufferable. Isabela: Legendary. Anders: Maker, yes. Sebastian: I've heard as much. [If Hawke has a humorous/charming personality] Hawke: Spoiled, annoying, thick-headed, brattish little nitwit of a... oh, have we stopped?

Y'all ever wonder why he's so on edge or hostile with the other companions?

Also, I have to point out that Merrill is the only companion who doesn't say anything in agreement if she's there. In fact, across all their banter, Merrill's never been rude or insulting toward him. All she does is ask him if he's talking dirty to her and compliments him on what a great sworder he is. It's pretty obvious why Carver develops a crush on her, c'mon.

But to wrap this up-

This banter strikes a nerve due to how telling it is about both characters involved.

Carver has grown and done what he can to improve himself, but there's regret that lingers, a longing for a better life he could've had if given a chance. Maybe he would've failed, maybe he would've succeeded. But there's nothing he can do now, so he looks forward, just as he's always wanted to do. He's a damn good Grey Warden who wants to do right.

Aveline remains stagnant. She hasn't changed, nor has she improved, and maybe she would if she could figure out how to dislodge her head from her own ass. She still believes she was in the right to tell the guard not to accept Carver's application despite knowing the Hawke's were desperate and that Fereldan refugees couldn't find work. She knew Carver's a skilled soldier who fought at Ostagar just as she did. The guard wasn't the place for him so she's in the right to deny him any chance. Aveline knows best.

And y'know what, I think all I have left to say is...

Fine, Aveline. You're right. It wasn't the place for him.

Carver was too good for your city guard.

#dragon age 2 #da2 #carver hawke #aveline vallen #dragon age #aveline critical #okay i promise i'll shut up now and stop picking on aveline and find something else to talk about #even though my beef list is still incredibly long but we'll save that for another day since i'm just so salty about her right now #and i just have a lot to say about carver and how wronged he was like i know it's just a few bits of banter but put the bits together #and they tell a whole story y'know? in case it wasn't clear carver's one of my favorite characters in da2 #and so much about his banter with aveline gets to me #again it doesn't matter if you think he was right for the guard or not my point is that aveline had no right to block him #from a potentially great job ESPECIALLY after all the hawkes did for her... y'know like helping her get outta fereldan #and getting into kirkwall and helping her expose jeven for being a corrupt bastard that led to her promotion as captain #sure aveline step on everyone's backs and hands and then wonder why they aren't climbing as fast as you #carver hawke deserved better than this #aveline got an easy promotion to guard captain and a sexy new husband and never had to face real repercussions for her mistakes #and all carver got was the taint in his blood #he and merrill never even had a chance to get together and i'm not okay with that >:[

I'll take my time! I'll mess around with it. its been real #I wanna start drafting the comic proper and stuff... Im so glad I'm still so excited about doing this after over a week lol #really kinda what I needed after the March Madness (adhd induced nonsense depression)#hope folks who've got a comm from me so far enjoyed what I drew!!

today i decided to take a lil walk after my haircut and i was like "i'll just go down another block on this road" but didn't realize the block system had ENDED on that road. and then i was like "well i don't feel like turning back around, i'll just keep walking til there's a turn" but there were no turns even after over a mile of walking

so i pulled up my phone gps and saw that the two options for getting home were "turn around and walk that shitty road home" (easier but more boring) or "walk farther down this road, go into the public forest, and cut through there to get home" (more fun but more difficult)

and i ended up going with the latter

but i had then realized by the time i was entering the forest that the sun was setting. and my phone battery was getting low.

and my legs were getting tired but i couldn't stop and rest because i needed to be out of the woods before dark and i was cutting it awfully close

so like. irl horror game protagonist simulator.

#eliot posts #i undercut that fear a bit tho bc i was listening to shit on my headphones #specifically someone analyzing a will wood album #it took up a little phone battery but my phone wasn't that close to dying that listening to someth would make or break it #it's more just that the flashlight function on my phone drains battery REAL FAST #so if i was out in the woods long enough to need a flashlight i'd be FUCKED #but i got out just in time #the last leg of the journey after i got back on the roads was pretty dark tho #i think i walked like 5 miles today #on a more fun note on the way to my haircut i saw this upholstery workshop studio thing was open and looked inside #and the owner was a nice old man who talked to me for like a half hour and showed me some of his projects

Punk Princess

Also please go check out THIS fan art done by @heavenlycrashes

Eddie’s not even giving a single flying fuck about the looks he got at school today, Jason Carvers sneers in his direction going completely ignored.

Steve had given him permission to call him Princess again, and he was fucking flying above it all.

When Steve had been offering that- that permission to use it, Eddie wasn’t sure exactly if he’d earned it or not, but who was he to tell Steve no? And Steve had seemed so blissfully happy at Eddie's entire display, and Eddie was pretty sure, if he didn’t get to take that beautiful, beautiful ��man on a date soon, he’d probably just lock himself in his room and wither away to nothing. He was actually giddy to go to Steve’s game today. Which in itself was a wild feeling to have, to be excited to go to a basketball game, but he’d called Wayne between classes on the payphone and told him about it and Wayne was going to be coming too, and Eddie was so full of blissful happiness at how lucky he was. To have Steve in his life, to have an uncle like Wayne who supported him no matter who he was or who he loved.

Eddie had so many good things, and he was determined to not take them for granted ever again.

“I’m gonna ask him tonight.” Eddie chirped in Gareth's ear as he climbed into the back of the van to join him, Jeff and Mack.

“Finally!” Three voices rang out, bouncing around the metal of the van and assaulting his ears.

“I can’t believe you’re wearing that by the way.” Mack mumbles around the joint in his mouth, gesturing to Eddie’s skirt.

“I’m so fucking glad I did, Steve’s been practically a drooling mess all day and can’t keep his hands to himself.” Eddie knows he’s got his goofy grin on, not even bothering to hide it as he lights his own joint and settles in with the guys. “During free period his hand stayed on my thigh under the skirt the entire time and I thought I was gonna bust it like a preteen, right there in front of everyone. Fuck.” Jeff groans, throwing an empty can of coke at Eddie’s head.

“We were all there Eddie, and frankly you guys are gross. But in like a cute, gross way. I hate it. Are you going to get worse when you officially get together?” Jeff feigns displeasure as he glances up at Eddie from the thread in the carpet he’d been playing with.

“I don’t even know, man. They practically hang all over each other as it is, I’m really hoping it can’t get grosser.” Mack pipes up, leaning his head on Gareth's shoulder as he watches Eddie roll another joint.

“Hey Freak!” Jason Carver's voice comes booming from outside of the van, and Eddie groans, thumping his head back against the cool metal.

“You better get out here Eddie. I know you got that outfit from Chrissy, and I’m willing to bet it wasn’t given to you willingly.” Jason’s voice sounds furious, the anger stabbing Eddie’s ears as he groans, throwing open the back doors and sliding out to stand in front of the other man.

“Carver man chill, Chrissy was perfectly aware that she was giving me her old uniform, I didn’t steal shit or do anything to your girlfriend.” Jason scoffs.

“You’ve been corrupting Chrissy for weeks now. Using whatever satan worshiping shit you’ve learned to weasel into her brain. She’s even been ditching me to sit with you freaks during free period. And Chrissy’s a good, nice girl, and I know for a fact that it’s all your influence.” Eddie has to physically stop himself from rolling his eyes at the drama behind Jason’s words. This guy’s as one dimensional as they get, it’s no wonder Chrissy is starting to see the light and pull away from him.

“She was wearing a fucking Matalica shirt the other day, and I know it was yours, you’ve been fucking brain washing her into you sex slave or something” Eddie does roll his eyes this time, because yea the shirt had been his, but he’d given it to Robin last week, and she was the one who’d given it to Chrissy.

“Sex slave? Seriously, Jason?” He lets the thought tumble out, checking the watch on his wrist and realizing that if he doesn’t stop whatever the hell this is soon he might end up being late for Steve’s game, and that just wouldn’t do.

“Maybe Chrissy’s just realized how lame you are and wanted to branch out, you ever considered that?” He tries to muster up that bored indifferent tone he’s heard Steve use before, and he feels pretty successful in his attempt.

In hindsight, He should have seen the punch coming, should have known Carver wasn’t the kind of guy who would listen when Eddie talked, he’d been looking for a fight with Eddie all year, and it seems he’s finally concocted one up in his head he thought was suitable.

What he didn’t expect was the second punch to his face as a follow up from Andy. His hand coming up to cradle his nose after he heard more then felt the crack, blood pouring from it as he stumbled backwards into the bumper of the van. Gareth, Jeff and Mack scrambling from the back and grabbing onto Eddie pulling him upright and away from the angry jocks pacing in front of them.

“Jesus Jason, what the fuck is your deal man?”Jeff snaps, before suddenly Jason’s launching forward, and they all brace themselves for whoever he’s about to hit next, but instead are surprised when he actually ends up sprawled on the ground in front of them, Robin Buckley miming dusting her hands together behind where he just stood. Steve’s standing next to her, with a- Jesus Christ is that a bat with nails embedded into it? He’s got it slung over his shoulder, like a baseball player ready to go up to bat, as he takes a step forward swinging it down and stopping the motion right in front of Jason’s face, a breaths hair away from the guy's nose.

God damn it, Eddie really needed to get his fucking priorities straight (ha!) and stop getting a boner every time Steve shows aggression at someone else.

“The fuck do you think you’re doing Carver?” Steve’s voice has taken on that low, indifferent tone again, and Eddie shivers. “You want me to have you benched for the game tonight?” He pulls the bat back, placing the nose of it on the ground and leaning his weight forward onto it, sizing Jason up with his eyes, and Eddies struck again with the realization that Steve’s dangerous .

“Fuck off, Harrington. You’re a freak too, coach would never listen to you anyways.” Steve hums leaning back up off the bat and kicking it slightly with the side of his foot so it swings back up and lands on his shoulder in one smooth motion.

“That may be so, but you and I both know I’m the best player on that team, and I can permanently bench you, on or off the court. ” He’s pulled the bat across his shoulders, arms draped over it as he watches Andy help Jason to his feet. Jason scoffs, sparing one last glare in Eddie's direction before him and Andy make their way back towards the gymnasium. Steve’s entire demeanor softens as he hands the bat off to Robin and comes to stand by Eddie’s side. Cupping his face and tilting it a bit in each direction to look at his nose.

“Are you okay?” He says it softly, meant only for Eddie’s ears, and Eddie's vaguely aware of the rest of the guys chatting animatedly to Robin off to the side.

“I’m horny.” Eddie coughs, face heating as he tries to backtrack “I meant, I’m okay.” Steve pulls his free hand up to his face to hide his laugh, before using the hand still cradling Eddie's cheek to go up and brush the hair from his face.

“Let’s go get you some Ice, I’m sure Gareth or one of the guys can drive you home.” He slides his hand down the back of Eddie’s neck, over his shoulder and down his arm until their fingers are intertwined, and Eddie can feel his blush travel down to his neck.

Steve was holding his hand . Fuck why does that have him so messed up?

“Wait, no no, Steve I’m not going home, you have your game.”

“Eddie, you’ve got a broken nose, I’m not gonna expect you to hang around and get a headache on top of that.” Eddie tightens his grip in Steve’s and yanks him to a stop.

“Steve, I’m not missing your game.” He lowers the cadence of his voice a bit when he says it, eyes locking onto Steve’s as he watches the words and tone sink in. “I’ve had a broken nose before, I’m fine. This is important. I’m not going home. And you’re going to go in there and get ready for the game while me and Red Bird go find some ice for my face.” He leaves no room for argument in the way he says it, the order clear in the words, and Steve’s eyes get glassy for a second before he’s focusing again and nodding slightly.

“As long as you’re sure, Eds”

Eds, Jesus, what a reaction he’s having to that nickname, it’s not even anything special, but fuck the way Steve says it.

“I’m way beyond sure, Princess. Kick ass out there on the ball, gym floor, court place.” He pulls up their linked hands to place a kiss on Steve's inner wrist, a soft pink coating Steve’s face as he leans in and gently places a gentle responding kiss on the underside of Eddie’s jaw, his breath tickling the skin there with his quiet chuckle. Robin hands Steve something behind his back. And Eddie’s not sure he’s ever seen Steve timid before, but fuck does he want to see it again if it makes him look like that.

Steve reaches his hand out slowly, his vest grasped tightly between his fingers.

“It gets kinda warm in the gym, so I figured if you wanted to take off your jacket and wear this- it would complete the look.” His eyes trail up and down Eddie quickly before locking back onto Eddie’s face which has a massive grin splitting across it, causing him to wince at the pain it brings to his nose.

“My Princess, asking me to wear his punk letterman jacket” Eddie coo’s reaching out to grab it before hurriedly tossing his jacket in Gareth's general direction and sliding the denim over his shoulders. He takes a second to breathe in the full aroma of Steve that coats it, burying his nose into the collar, hearing Steve make a faint, fuck a faint whine in the back of his throat. Eddie smirks at him just as Robin comes over and shoos Steve off towards the locker rooms with a ‘ Don’t be late dumbass’ before turning and staring at Eddie.

“Fuck, I’m so in love with him.” Eddie whispers once Steve’s disappeared behind the door. Robin snorts.

“Yeah, tell me something I don’t know.” She laughs, linking their elbows and pulling Eddie towards the nurses office.

Eddie’s pretty sure he’s never seen uncle Wayne's face get as red as it goes when he sees what Eddie’s wearing, and Eddie can’t help but cackle at his embarrassment. His uncle may support him and know who he is through and through, but it's nice to see he can still cause that reaction.

“What in the hell are you wearing, Eddie?” Wayne’s voice is tired, and exasperated, pulling a large grin to Eddie’s face.

“Just showing support to my- to Stevie.” Wayne sighs, shaking his head.

“And what the hell happened to your face?”

“Just some basic bitch feeling like he needed to assert dominance. Don’t worry, Stevie took care of him” He shrugs, turning to face the basketball court as Gareth, Jeff and Mack clamber up the bleachers to join them. Eddie’s not really sure what he's watching or what’s going on in the game, but the massive smile that takes over Steve’s face when he sees them in the stands is more than worth it, his eyes growing wide when he sees Wayne next to Eddie. Eddie blows him a kiss, which has him stumbling slightly as he gets back into the game.

Robin was right though, Steve glows when he plays. He looks insanely soft doing it too, the jewelry that’s usually in his face taken out, and clean of makeup. He looks like the old King he used to be, if it wasn’t for the hair, and Eddie’s struck again with just how long he’s had a thing for Steve. He can see a scar running vertically near Steve’s eye that's usually covered with his makeup and Eddie wonders how he got it.

And god don’t even get him started on those shorts.

Eddie and his section of the bleachers are the loudest area in the gym, aside from Robin's occasional shouts from over in the sea of band kids. His friends equally as lost on what the fuck is happening, but screaming their support for Steve regardless. They take their cues from Wayne, and Eddie can see a proud glint in his uncle's eyes as he looks at Steve, and Eddie feels his own pride bloom.

Steve scores the winning basket, and Eddie and his family explode. You can see how much Steve loves the game just by how much he’s jumping around with the other players, laughing and cheering.

Eddie is so soft for that man.

Afterwards, Eddie and the guys are jumping around with extra energy outside the school. The remnants of watching the game giving them the same excitement as after a campaign, and Eddie’s body feels like it touched a live wire.

“Steve!” He’s shouting, nearly toppling over trying to get around Gareth as Steve makes it around the corner, freshly showered and Robin hanging off his side.

“You were amazing.” He knows he’s got a big dopey smile on his face, matching the one Steve’s sporting, but he can’t even find it in himself to care as he throws his arms around him. Robin squeaking as soon as he gets close and narrowly missing an accidental hand to the face.

“Such a talented baby boy.” Eddie coo’s right in Steve’s ear, nuzzling into the junction between his chin and shoulder. Steve’s answering laugh is honest to god the most beautiful noise Eddie has ever heard, as Steve hugs him back, scooping him slightly and swinging him around. Eddie’s only partially aware of the ache in his nose when he pulls his head back and smiles up at a beaming Steve.

“Oh Eddie, your nose I’m sorry.” Eddie’s laughing though shaking his head at Steve.

“All good, Princess.” He manages to get out before the rest of the guys and uncle Wayne join them. The guys loudly proclaim their pride in Steve. And Wayne offering a proud pat on his shoulder. Everything becomes a little loud and chaotic, Wayne asking them if they want to head to the diner to grab something to eat to celebrate, and Steve looks like he's floating.

Eddie feels like he’s the one that won the game tonight really, watching all of his favorite people interact and talk and laugh. He can’t seem to find the right time to ask Steve out, not really wanting to take away from a moment that is so obviously important to Steve, if the high energy and never fading smile are anything to go by, so he tables the thought.

He could ask tomorrow instead.

Fuck, Eddie’s heart was so full it could burst.
