Currently watching Smallville, and do they realize Arthur Curry probably killed those dolphins he “rescued” from the ocean park by releasing them?

#yeah yeah I know he’s aquaman #dc fans don’t @ me #aquaman is in violation of the marine mammal protection act #this is only half in jest #but hey this episode is from like 2007 so kudos for being ahead of their time?

Christmas hack: procrastinate on gifts so much that then they don't come in on time, and then you only have to wrap a few for Christmas day. No more wrapping marathons!

#this is only half in jest #i am waiting on a few gifts for my husband that are just. in transit #i was just very not good at presents this year #i'm also still waiting on the material to make another friend's gift (sorry jen i thought it would be here by now!!!!) #because i've had a HELL of a couple of months and apparently my grasp on the passage of time has deeply suffered for it

Cracks me up how fakir is utterly rizzless (could not flirt to save his life, would explode into a million pieces if given the tiniest scrap of affection) and yet he somehow has absolutely crazy game like. Guy is so serious and dramatic and sincere he can just make statements like “I’ll stay by your side forever” like it’s NOTHING but he still can’t look a woman in the eyes without getting psyched out

#this is half dramatic jest and half plain facts #like #episode 12 and 13 are so funny #because we go from blushing on the ground like a little pissboy because someone saw him crying #to his whole grand speech about how ‘only you could accept princess tutu’s fate with a smile on your face’ #like. COME ON #how does he DO that #princess tutu #lea posts

you find shelter somewhere in me, i find real comfort in you

[ID: a digital drawing of xion and naminé from kingdom hearts. the background is mostly transparent, with a purple splatter with straight edges and three white lines on the lower half, which they seem to be sitting on.

they are beside each other in mirrored poses, inner legs slightly behind the other. naminé's eyes are closed and her shoulders are tense. xion's mouth is slightly open and her only visible eye stares down at the middle, where their hands are intertwined. /End ID.]

Ok I know it's like a trend for people to start decorating for xmas earlier and earlier and Tiffany and Lawson probably just did this for engagement but the beginning of October???? I have HAD it

Why don't the people who do this just bite the bullet, leave their shit up all year, and eliminate all other holidays and seasonal joys from their lives already like you just skipped over the other 2 most fun holidays of the year and for what?? Just leave it up all year for crying out loud JUST DECORATE YOUR HOUSE THAT WAY and be done with it!!

#i know the early xmas people are second only to disney adults & kpop stans in their ferocity so pls know this is in jest #a haha funny joke #someone on my street started decorating in SEPTEMBER and my blood has been boiling ever since #like obv do whatever makes you happy yadda yadda but doesn't having xmas for half the year just make it less special?? isn't the point that #it's a special time of year?? #anyway ok I'll calm down #tiffany bates #Lawson bates #fundie instagram

I can't stop thinking about Eddie practically skipping along as he leads Steve around a library so here, have this.

One of the first places Eddie takes Steve when his name is cleared and Hawkins is back to relative post-apocalyptic normalcy is the library.

"So Eddie is taking you on a date... to... the library?" Robin asks, perched on a trolley in Family Video as she offers absolutely no assistance.

Steve huffs as she shoots Max (waiting for Steve to find a misplaced copy of The Little Mermaid - one of her comfort movies, which no one knows about except him and he's sworn to absolute secrecy) a confused look.

Max mouths, "shut up" and Robin merely gestures for her to continue wheeling her around on the cart.

"It isn't a date, even though yes, we are dating. Just two dudes going to the library," he explains, face growing hot because he knows anything he says will dig him in deeper.

He rolls his eyes, mostly at himself and braces for more questions, thoughts and teasing. Yes, it was a date. He can't help it if Eddie proudly declares every damn date they are going on to the whole group. Robin shrugs, a sly smile creeping across her face.

"Sounds pretty damn nerdy, Harrington."

And all Steve can do is shake his head and continue looking for Max's movie as he moves further down the aisle and away from this conversation.

So what if this is their Friday date night? And a 'nerdy' one at that? His boyfriend basically holding his hand and taking him on a field trip to the Hawkins Public Library all because he has some kind of crippling intellectual anxiety from being surrounded by brainiacs?

Steve had admitted (or more, it was a moment of over-sharing word vomit) to Eddie he struggled with reading books, quickly becoming overwhelmed by the task and falsely believing he simply wasn't that smart. Just like his parents told him. It wasn't any of his friend's fault. They were all super smart, genius-level weirdos and, as time went on, Steve just started to feel like he was all muscle and body. No brains.

But Eddie, with kind eyes and never one to call Steve dumb, said he could help him with all that. Which, up until now, only involved Eddie reading to him in the quiet of their respective bedrooms. All the while Steve snuggled into Eddie's side as he dramatically recited a book with his fingers carding reassuringly through his hair.

And so Steve finds himself in the library later that afternoon with Eddie standing before him, holding out a book bag and a newly minted library card. Turns out Eddie had organised it beforehand because of course, he is chummy with the librarian (her name is Ethel, she's married to old man Barney Harris who owns the laundromat and they have a toy poodle named Biscuit).

"Here you go!" Eddie grins, buzzing on the spot as he shakes the items in his hands for Steve to take them. "A wonderful world of knowledge awaits you! Now, on with our library date, noble Prince Stevie!"

Ethel shushes his uptick in volume.

Steve furrows his brow, worried.

"Can you..." he looks down, trying to ignore Robin's words and Dustin's later confusion (aka, harassment). "Come with me? I have a list."

He reaches in his back pocket for the note he’d spent days making, the piece of Family Video-branded notepaper all crinkled.

"Wouldn’t have it any other way!" Eddie says, taking the note and unfurling it. He looks it over and holds it up over his face to cover his giggling grin. "Can't believe I'm at the library with Steve Harrington."

Steve smiles wide, "You are such a dork".

Eddie leans in painfully close, dimples on full display, "You like it."

He links his arm with Steve's excitedly and marches them off into the nearest aisle.

Steve decides on a just few books from his list, even though Eddie quickly locates all twelve of them, leading him along and holding his hand in between book stacks. He's still worried that he’ll inevitably baulk at the whole idea if he’s left home alone without his favourite reading buddy for any length of time.

At that nagging thought, Steve pauses as they walk to the car, Ethel having moved them along at closing.

"Will you still read with me?" he asks sheepishly.

Eddie frowns, sadness flooding his eyes. He pauses at his car door and quickly rounds the Beemer so he can cup his hands around Steve's face.

"Of course!" he insists, thumbs rubbing reassuringly at his cheeks.

He looks Steve over and smirks.

"What?"

"I gotta say, Steve, seeing you hand over that library card to borrow books..."

He wiggles his eyebrows suggestively and all Steve can do is laugh, mostly at his dorky, nerdy boyfriend. But maybe also a little at the fact that one of the best dates he has been on was going to the goddamn library on a Friday night.

#steve gets intimidated by the intelect of the people around him and eddie's the only one who knows that the teasing gets to him #even if it is in jest it accumulates with his parents criticism #did i half write this then abandon it for my 'steve calls eddie a dork' post??? maybe #i'm trying to work on ending my ficlets in a more conclusive manner but i think this is a little lame??? #steddie #steve harrington #eddie munson #steddie headcanon #steddie ficlet #lilys ficlets

I am SO brave for putting up with people chewing and slurping & making noises with their human mouths, heedless of the fact that I'm in the room with them

#I only say this half-in jest because I do feel like ripping my own skin off everytime I hear a crunch or (heaven forbid) a munch #Like my therapist was like “what if you live with that discomfort” as if??? I don’t?????? #I would like to know how to make it Stop bothering me is the question

I see your “geeta is the villain” “larry is the villain” “clavell is the villain” and raise you, jacq should be the villain because his glasses look like That and more importantly, I think beating the devil out of a man and dragging him back into the light of god is honestly better than sex

#pokemon sv spoilers #pokemon sv #half joking but why is he the only teacher we don’t get to bond with huh? #🤨 #hes still carrying my child to term tho #this post is made in jest btw I think the league do have smth to do w the greater plot #esp considering where medali is located #and honestly I just think villain jacq would be sexy. If villain geeta larry clavell does it for u then u have just as much rights as me #however. I implore u not to forget the shape of his glasses 👁

My personal theory / hope is the reason akechi isn't in a lot of spin offs is cause it's just kind of hard to do without like pivoting the story

But when akechi finally returns we wil be fed , cause to one pq2 enjoyer to another it made me go " woah this creative team really does have so so much love for these little characters "

He's too powerful, and his inclusion in any narrative focused on just the PT automatically puts him in the spotlight because he's such a scarce character that we can't help but rub our eyeballs all over every single scene he's in. Plus, too many things would get solved too easily. He looks at these tactics and just shoves Joker's and Makoto's strategies to the side and takes over. I'm kidding, I'm kidding.

I'm not really holding out hope for him coming back in anything unless they do something like Arena/Ultimax because I think tone-wise, post-Royal Goro wouldn't fit so easily into silly hijinks. I mean, I still think as a concept, that alone is hilarious, and I would love to see chibi Black Mask being an absolute bitch, but the likelihood is... slim. At the same time, I've absolutely been wrong before, and I welcome it. I think the ambiguity of his fate is something that fans really enjoy, and I completely understand the appeal of it, but I think that having him resurface a good while after the events of P5R would make more sense than something taking place just a few months later.

#lightlykos #We're all starved for the Lad it's true but thankfully so many wonderful and creative fans keep us well fed. #Hell even Rokurou Saito (Mementos Mission mangaka) fed us this year with a new Akechi sketch on his bday! #Gone but not forgotten uAu we can only hope he'll find a way back some day but tbh only if he's handled very carefully #I don't think I could handle a half-assed inclusion that completely ruined him haha #jest answers

for them there is not the slightest hope (and I love official couples obviously) but today we are also talking about absurd couples right? like au, in an absurd universe where every law fails and where matthias and inej aren't there well.. why not? there are stranger couples. after waffle... they had their chemistry, more or less.... in an obvious absurd world.. so don't kill me... I'm kanej but today there is no logic... so... no funerals...

My father went on a rant about Russian literature yesterday and it was most entertaining to listen to

#'they always suffer! all they know is suffering!' #'first they suffer because of napoleon then they suffer from the revolution then they suffer from the aftermath of the revolution!' #'look at mumu. is that your russian literature? do you think the man who wrote mumu knew how to be happy?' #'bulgakov was the only normal one there anyway.' #of course half of it was in jest but still dhfgdhdjd #txt
