i’ve been missing the universe from my first fic lately, so enjoy this snippet (my best comedic work yet) from tip of my tongue, he’s pulling my hair; i’d do what he wants anywhere

“Henderson, please do not get pizza sauce on my carpet!” Steve yells across his house at the man-child balancing boxes reaching higher than his head.

“Geez, Steve, relax, would you?” Dustin chides, “Why are you freaking out anyways? I have never once seen your house this clean.”

Steve spares a moment to feel a bit caught out. “He’s right,” he thinks.

He follows Dustin into the living room carrying a stack of plates. He is met with a sight he has grown all too familiar with over the years of the kids using his home as their designated hang out. Coffee table pulled out to the middle of the floor so there is optimal seating around its perimeter; Lucas, Mike, and Will already seated and bickering about Will’s campaign; Max and El on his couch trying to choose a movie to watch; and more D&D paraphernalia then he even understands or knows what to do with. The only thing currently missing are the rest of the adults of the group, all of whom are en route, hopefully with beer and other substances so that Steve can get through another night of fifteen year olds screaming until three in the morning.

“No seriously dude, you look like you’ve seen a ghost, what the hell are you being so weird for?” Mike asks about the time Steve realizes he’s moved the cups around the table three times.

Moving to stand at the head of the table Steve claps his hands together and places his hands on his hips in what the kids call his “mom pose”, deciding to make an announcement. They had originally planned on just introducing Eddie as a friend, and then getting a read from the kids before they told them anything more. But now that they have seemed to figure out that something is up, Steve is loath to keep the secret from them.

“Oh here we go,” Lucas whines.

Mike groans and Max and El perk up in their seats.

“Watch it Sinclair. Don't make me put you on trash duty.”

Lucas mimes zipping his lips shut.

“Thank you. Okay gang. I don’t usually ask you guys to be on your best behavior because my home is your home and all that shit. But today Robs is bringing over this guy that I have been talking to so I really need you guys to be cool.” Steve pleads with the group, feeling irrationally jittery even though he knows they can tell he’s nervous and would never do anything to actually jeopardize or invalidate his worries.

The girls on the couch both look like this is the best news they have ever heard. Meanwhile, Will, Lucas, and Mike all look shellshocked. Dustin is the only one who maintains some sense of a calm demeanor. Immediately diffusing the shock with an “Okay.. well we’re missing a D20, does anyone have a spare in a backpack or something?”

Steve just laughs as his panic is so quickly relieved with the normalcy of these kids, who all immediately take to looking under the table and under pillows for the missing dice. He takes a second to be grateful they all are so quick to support one another, himself included.

Steve, shaking off his shock, responds, “You know what? I think you guys actually left some here last time you came over to play, let me go grab them.”

“Sweet, thanks mom!” Lucas says to Steve’s retreating form, earning himself a middle finger over the shoulder.

On his way down the hall he hears the doorbell and the sounds of Jonathan, Nancy, and Argyle joining the party and making themselves at home. Steve thinks the most home this house has ever felt is when it is full of these kids and these friends.

Walking into his spare room Steve rifles through the top dresser drawer that has turned into some kind of makeshift lost and found, letting out a victorious “aha!” when he lays his hands on Dustin’s missing D20 and the various other matching D-something’s.

He stops in front of the mirror one last time on his way out to give himself a pep talk before Eddie comes over. It's not that he’s nervous to see him, but the fact that Eddie is essentially meeting his family today, and everyone that's important to him. Logically, he knows there is literally no way they won't like him, but a little bit of fear permanently stays lodged in his chest these days and today it's chosen to take root in this situation.

Making his way back to the rowdy table he drops the dice in Dustin’s hand with a flourish and goes to check his phone to see if the rest of the group are almost here. He is broken out of his task to Dustin’s “What the fuck?”

Turning to see Dustin still standing stock still with the dice in his hand Steve makes to reprimand him for his language before getting cut off with “These are Eddie’s.”

Steve freezes. Approximately a million thoughts and questions start running through his head, the most prominent he asks aloud, “How do you guys know Eddie?”

By now the rest of the party has clued into the situation, Lucas chiming in, “Eddie’s our DM when we play at Hellfire. How do you know Eddie?”

Steve stutters, trying to connect the dots.

“Oh my god,” Dustin screeches, “Eddie said he lost his customs after he was playing with a hookup. Was it you?”

Steve has about three seconds to be offended that Eddie referred to him as a “hookup” and to think that he needs to text Eddie a warning before the doorbell rings.

This time, everyone freezes, Steve sees the moment that the kids all suddenly remember that Steve said Robin was bringing a guy over.

Steve, still in shock, is rooted to his spot while Mike runs to the door, flinging it open to reveal Robin and Eddie. If Steve had his wits about him, he would be most interested in the fact that Eddie looks really fucking good in his worn old Black Sabbath tee and ripped jeans with his hair up, but as it is he is too busy reeling.

Steve watches with bated breath as Eddie’s eyes flit to all of the people in the room and connect the same dots that Steve did only moments ago. Eddie’s eyes finally land on Dustin’s open palm with his apparently custom DM dice and he goes to say “Oh shit! You found-”

“Your dice.” Steve finishes for him.

Again, he sees the moment Eddie remembers what he told the kids happened to his dice.

“My dice... Yeah.” He brings a hand up the scratch at the back of his neck.

All of the kids shake out of their shock at once with shouts and jeers of, “STEVE was the hookup?” and “Oh my god I can’t believe this is happening,” and from the girls, hushed giggles, the remaining adults all putting two and two together themselves.

Robin breaks the panic with, “I feel like I’m missing something here.”

Rather than rehash the entire event in front of the kids, Steve finally launches back into action and grabs Eddie and Robin and drags them into the kitchen.

“Oh my fucking god!” Steve screeches, dragging his hands down his face.

He feels Eddie’s presence behind him and feels one arm snake around his waist and another come to rest where his thigh meets his hip, and warm lips dropping a kiss to his neck.

“Why are you freaking out, baby? This is honestly the best case scenario. I’ve been so nervous all day about meeting your kids, come to find out your kids are my kids,” Eddie speaks lowly into Steve’s ear and honestly? He does have a point. But-

“I think I’m mostly freaked out that they figured it out before I got to tell them. I was fully prepared to make an awkward introduction and wait for you guys to hit it off. I was not prepared for all of them staring at me asking if I was the hookup you left your dice with.” And now that he thinks about it, maybe the world hookup is the part that is bothering him the most.

Robin seems to have finally pieced together the puzzle, “Ohhh, shit. These are the kids that always come to your D&D nights. You know, I honestly should have put this together earlier. Especially after that time you came into work talking about your dice getting you into some super kinky sh-”

“Robs!” Steve cuts her off.

“Sorry!” She squeaks. “This is just all so funny to me. Like how did none of us put together that the obnoxious kids that play at your house are the same obnoxious kids that play at Hellfire?”

Eddie laughs over Steve’s shoulder. “Yeah, I don’t even have an argument for that one. This seems like a massive oversight.” He says rubbing circles into Steve’s hips. “Well, at least we know your kids love your new boyfriend already,” and Steve just rolls his eyes, able to hear the smirk in Eddie's voice, “Nice save, Master.”

Steve shakes off a slack-jawed Eddie and makes to go back to join the kids. “Well, we may as well rejoin the kids and suffer through the impending torment.”

Robin and Eddie cackle behind him as they make their way into the living room.

Upon seeing the kids already in the throes of their game Steve just stands and looks out over the room at all of the people he loves and is once again, so grateful for each and every one of them and their ability to make him feel so effortlessly comfortable even at his most nervous.

He should’ve known better than to think Eddie would ever let him win though. He’s struck from his reverie, when he hears Eddie, in what is undoubtedly his dramatic DM voice, say, “Hey anklebiters! Do you guys need a Dad? I’m trying to un-single your mom!”

Goddammit.

Someone please help me find that post that is structured like a list of footnotes to the first chapter of the fanfic My Immortal. The list is written from the point of view of a future literary historian or possibly a student of literature.

Tumblr search is useless. Cannot even find it on Google. I would recognize it on sight, but I don't remember any particular phrases...

Ok, screw it, I'm making a kinda search post for the online fairy game mentioned at the end of this post on my main

Here's what I wrote

"Third [deep memory unlocked by doing fairy research] being a fairy based online game that I cannot remember the name of for the life of me. But I think it was like- kinda neopets mixed with club penguin. This could entirely have been a fever dream as I remember playing it around the same time I got the Fairy Doorway, which was when I was deep into my fairy hyperfixation."

I'm sure it isnt Pixie Hollow

I think it COULD be "The Real Tooth Fairies" but the website looks like it was updated and so I'm not sure, as what I remember playing was 2d.

#tomt #tip of my tongue #flash games #2010s #2010s nostalgia #nostalgia #I'll reblog with updates when I have em #this will probably be a short lived tomt/lost media(?) search if im gonna be honest #i'm ilke 88% sure it's real tooth fairies

Please I'm losing my mind over this pokemon that I can't find any evidence of existing bc I KNOW I've seen it before mentioned with pokemon but I can't find it in the dex or anything so can someone PLEASE tell me if you know what this is and if it's a real pokemon based on this horrible drawing

[I.D. a poorly drawn pokemon with a large square head and bipedal lizard-esque body. It has large half-lidded eyes, an even bigger nose and dots above its eyes, it also has a mouth and is gritting its teeth. End I.D.]

#lane speaks #PLS HELP I'M LOSING MY FUCKING MIND #i think its supposed to be green?? #like i swear I've seen this thing talked about in legitimate pokemon discussion #but i have no proof of its existance #is this some graggle simpson type bullshit that I'm falling for??? #either way its the ugliest little freak I've seen #pokemon #tip of my tongue #pkmn

A feeling I'm not too fond of is when a song I can't fully remember is stuck in my head. This is a feeling I have had many many times but it's very different when the song you are looking for is post hardcore or what I believe is post hardcore.

To give a time frame I believe I found this song back when I was in grade 7 or 8 so around 2012 maybe and i found it off of one of those music downloading apps and all I did was search up emo music on this app and I found plenty of songs from just doing that. Songs by Mayday Parade, Escape the Fate, Hawthorne Heights, Story of the Year etc. I know that this song probably came out way before 2012, possibly maybe from 2004 to 2008.

It had deep male vocals and although I don't remember the lyrics I think one of them was "with my gun I pray" or "with my god I pray" not very sure though but the lyrics repeated a few times with screaming in the background and I think the lead singer sings the lyric one more time and the song ends.

I've tried humming it but nothing shows up and I've tried searching it any time I search its either stuff about religion or guns which isn't exactly what I want.

I've narrowed it down to a few bands and I plan on listening to them but I'm worried that I might never find this song that I'm searching for.

I did think it could be a band like Underoath but I don't know if it's from them and I have looked already but might have to look again.

Izza struggle :/

guys does anyone here know the name of this game ive been fucking thinking of. i played it years ago and im obsessed with finding it again but cant find anything even remotely related to it

basically, its some sort of 2d exploration game where you play as a fox, and i think you have a human owner/caretaker? you go off to explore the area (which is like a leafy forest/general wild environment) and theres all sorts of puzzles and hidden areas to explore. i specifically remember finding these weird ghostly fairies and freeing them, which gave me powers? i'm recalling this from shitty memory i wish i could be more descriptive sorry. i played it on computer and it was a browser game, not a download or anything (at least i think-- i just remember playing it on browser)

I’m gonna follow blast a bunch of people and enlist some help. I’m looking for a post and Google sucks ass about it so here it goes.

It’s a text post about someone in (I think) high school or maybe a party or something and they say to someone “oh my life is boring no one wants to hear about it” and then it’s so fascinating so the group of people even though it’s mundane to OP

Then they go around telling their life stories to each other. I absolutely love that post and I’m gonna pin it when I find it, it’s the whole point of this side blog

Thanks in advance!

okay so I doubt anyone will know what I’m talking about but I’m throwing this out there:

does anyone else remember this one game that was on a website called brainpop, I think around the twenty tens? It was about the Great Depression, and it was from the perspective of two twins who lived on a farm together. It was sort of a role-playing game, where you would be presented with different dialogue options and you would make different decisions. I remember there was a part where the male twin ran away and there was a meter that was counting the amount of times you could get injured before having to go home. There was also a potential end for the sister in which she became a photographer? And once you finished the game, at the end there was a scene of the family having dinner together and discussing their lives. There was a part where a cow got shot because they couldn’t afford to keep it?

#I remember there was also two other games like it and one was about a Jewish immigrant to america #And one was about a boy living in colonial america #Do those games still exist? #Rue rants #brainpop #tip of my tongue

I remember a tv show that I watched when I was v little in my dreams but whats fucking me up is w everything that happened idk if its real. ITS SO detailed. and I REMEMBER VIVIDLY seeing it like on tv or online or something.

Gonna write down some stuff about it

Stuff in the actual show I believe:

It's set in some sort of school or after school place or something like that?

There was something off about the school in terms of what it taught. Like I remember there was math and science but there was also magic or ghosts or something

The kids had these weird bright yellow poles for i think fighting something or other? and they were shaped sorta like broomsticks but sleeker material and the end was tilted and off center but it did not have a sharp edge. also there were no bristles. i think there was also a bright yellow pack or bucket to match

There was a house preparing for a big Halloween party and all the kids from the school were to be there

The student desks were connected desks (ie: chair connected to table by plastic/metal/wooden bar)

I remember the show was named something that sounded really cool to me like "Celeste" or something. Like a pretty/interesting word, you know?

The show is appropriately colourful for a children's show; not excessively but like. A normal amount.

It's an animated show, 2d I think but with some experimental stuff that looks like cgi or something? idk im not well informed on animations inner workings

The kids are fighting something in the show; probably monsters or demons or ghosts or dark magic or something

At least 1 or 2 of the kids' parents are teachers at the school, maybe more

The artstyle was NOT photorealistic, which makes the contents of my dream stranger. It was a classic american kids cartoon look, cutesy and understandable but not very detailed

There are allusions to some terrible evil within the show as well as allusions to an event with this evil that we never see on screen but know that the kids played some role in and its hinted that "some were taken by the evil" whether that means death/kidnapping or the kid deciding to switch sides (or both!) is unknown. I assume SI was one of, possibly the only possibly not, one of the kids who switched sides during this vague event. I'm not actually sure if SI is alive in the show or just a dead plot device but they were alive in my dream.

The school says that the event with this Big Bad was a "stain on the school's history" and the show gives us a few scenes of kids whispering/gossiping about what happened but I dont think it was enough info to fully understand what it was. Either way, I don't remember.

Most of the show is just school shenanigans between students and sometimes between parents/teachers and students fighting whatever bad stuff with what they learned in the alternative class in their school that isnt in actual schools. There are a few lightly referenced dark topics but for the most part everyone seems to have a happy family, healthy friendships, etc.

There's an episode where someone's pet or older family member (dont remember which) dies and some superstitious person tells the kid that the Big Bad took that important soul from their life. the kid cries in school a lot of the day and learns about the power of friendship or whatever when so many students and teachers come to comfort them and state their condolences.

Stuff that I can't tell might be either:

There were familiar faces there that I could've sworn I met irl but idk if it was meant to be like that or part of the actual show

It was a self insert show. As in, I saw myself as one of the characters and was able to interact with the world and characters. I'm sure my actual face being on TV is definitely impossible, and some AI that could make some kind of visual illusion/computer learning that could make you personally see your own self is probably impossible in that time period. now it may somehow become possible idk. Maybe there was just a scary relatable character there and I forgot and lost it to obscurity?

There was a science teacher that confronted me that vaguely resembled very unspecific memories of some teacher or other from my early years. I doubt the teacher in the show WAS her or even like her but I know almost for sure that there was a confrontation with some science teacher in the show. She yells at a character for being a dropout and acting like such a good student and then something terrible happening. May I add this has never happened to me and while I was a weird kid I was very good to my teachers and liked them a lot.

There were two girls "I" or the SI character was acquaintances/friends with. I know in the show they werent the girls I had at one point knew (lets call them E and A) but I also know almost definitely there were two friend girl characters in the show in relation to the SI.

SI bikes away from the Halloween House in an emotional state and ends up in a wealthy and unfamiliar neighbourhood. Fenced mansions and greener than green flora. SI is stopped by police I guess patrolling the area and they ask whats wrong and where SI is coming from/going and if SI is lost. SI, or my version of SI, says that they are coming from a friend's Halloween thing (half true) and are going straight home since they did their part (a flagrant lie, SI has no idea where they are or even if theyre in the same town at this point). SI says they're okay and after some hassling the cops leave them alone.

Stuff unique to my dream:

I THINK a former special person in my life being there (lets call them M) was NOT in the show.

The house in the aforementioned Halloween party prep was M's house, and when SI showed up and asked if they could come to the party, M said "maybe" and then took SI aside to say how SI made them uncomfortable now/wasnt part of the Group anymore and how SI must make sure not to do and then stated a really random list of things that i dont think was either in the show or my life

#lost media #or something #idk this one's a head scratcher #help is this a real thing what is it and how much has my brain twisted/modified it #tip of my tongue #nostalgia #dreams #vague memories #old tv show #kids cartoon #idk whether to tag this as unreality bc i genuinely think at least some of it is real content from a real show

can someone help me find a game?

it was an indie pc game. i remember watching someone do a lets play of it somewhere between 2019 and 2020, but i don't remember who.

i believe the gameplay took place on an old pc desktop. there was probably chat rooms or old social media like myspace involved. the protagonist may have been around highschool or college age, or reminiscing about highschool or college. it may have been a coming of age story.

this game is on the very very tip on my mind and i fear i may be making it up entirely. please help ;3;
