It’s high school Steve. Preppy, douchey, scared high school Steve, who uses more hair product in a day than Eddie’s ever used in his life, with his collared, tucked in shirts and expensive watch. Steve who sneers and stares and stays quiet when Tommy H talks shit, when he trips people in the cafeteria for his own amusement.

Steve, who’s never worried about running out of hot water during showers, who eats bagel sandwiches in Click’s class every day and leaves crumbs on the floor. Steve, who asks all the questions in class that Eddie doesn’t bother asking, who seems to struggle just as much as Eddie, but nobody would know it, because Steve doesn’t look the type to fail classes.

Steve, who always looks a little tense when he thinks no one’s looking, a little too wide-eyed, a little too sad. Like he’s worried about someone seeing him, seeing through him. Like he’s not really Steve Harrington at all.

Eddie’s crush starts as curiosity. He wonders about him more than he admires him, why there are walls around him, why he almost glares at Tommy H when he isn’t looking.

Steve isn’t like the other ones. He isn’t loud and obnoxious, doesn’t call people names or throw fries at them just for fun. He picks up his trash in the cafeteria, smiles at the cleaning ladies.

He’s quiet when no one’s around. When he’s alone in class, he just works silently, doing something in his notebook that doesn’t really look like writing. And Eddie’s curiosity turns from just wanting to know who Steve Harrington is, to who Steve Harrington is and what he draws in his notebook when he’s not taking notes.

Then he notices how pretty his eyes are, and Eddie wants to slam his head in his locker until he collapses on the floor, because this was never supposed to happen. He has fucking butterflies. Christ.

He still doesn’t know who Steve Harrington is. He still doesn’t know why he tenses a little every time he mentions his dad. (Though Eddie can guess.) He still doesn’t know if Steve really even likes Tommy H. He still doesn’t know why Steve lingers one day when Tommy knocks some freshman’s books out of his hands, why he helps the kid sort his papers back out before he runs to catch up with Tommy. He still doesn’t know what he draws in his notebook.

And Eddie doesn’t want to know the king. He wants to know Steve.

Steve, who stares at Eddie across the classroom one day as Eddie is chewing on his pencil, who looks away sharply when Eddie’s eyes meet his.

Steve, whose cheeks flush pink.

MORE cringefail legolas:

-to the mirkwood elves legolas is some weird, musty, unrefined, hippie, bow-obsessed elf that puts zero effort into his appearance who they cannot understand for the LIFE of them.

-while most elves try to maintain some sense of decorum in mirkwood legolas clearly has missed some sort of memo, leading to some very cringe moments of him walking into various formal settings covered in mud, leaves, spider guts, and absolutely reeking of BO

-it’s true that all the other elves of mirkwood have a connection with nature, but legolas is wired into the nature mainframe. he definitely is that kid who ate dirt so he could understand what flavour the trees liked best.

-legolas tried for years to copy his dads effortless, unbraided hair but he could Not pull it off at all. it ended up with him having constant matted, frizzy hair that was a bird’s nest.

-the difference between formally dressed, groomed, and properly combed ‘son of thranduil heir of mirkwood’ legolas and ‘i just gone done fucking around in the woods hunting for 15 hours and have literal bird poop in my hair but listen to me talk about this rare breed of tree and new rabbit hole i found’ legolas is massive.

-legolas once disappeared for about 4 days out of nowhere, scaring the SHIT out of thranduil, who had went out himself to lead a search party for his son. when they found him he was butt ass naked in one of the tallest trees. his explanation for his disappearance? “ada listen okay it’s a blood super moon these are Super super rare so i camped out here to moon bathe and recharge my spirit— you might not get it but trust me bro energetically i am completely recharged— yes ada i know it’s not the first age and elves have modesty but if the moon light isn’t touching all of my skin i don’t charge as much. no ada. ada listen- it’s not a big deal ada what’s with all the dramatics???” thranduil forbade anyone to talk about what they saw.

god. something about samfro is so…

i-

really important!!!

after killing 40 Palestinian journalists (+ many journalists who survived but their entire families were killed because their HOMES were targeted), zionists are now spreading dangerous propaganda linking journalists to hamas to

minimize their credibility

refuse to hold any accountability for killing them and

manufacture consent for further targeted killings of even more journalists

it is important to remember how heavily surveilled Gaza is and how israel knows where every single person lives. this is why many journalists have been martyred, not in the field while reporting, but in their homes, as they went home to see their families and get some rest. furthermore, if you follow motaz azaiza closely, you'll know that recently he has also had some close calls with israeli airstrikes, suggesting that israel is indeed targeting active Palestinian journalists, especially those who report in english or have a lot of reach in the west.

please do not fall for israeli propaganda and convince yourselves that israel is justified in murdering innocent Palestinians who only seek to show the world a small glimpse of the hell they live through everyday. call out this propaganda everywhere you see it, and spread awareness about this being a propaganda tactic. by israel's own logic, if journalists happen to record an armed group as they carry out an operation, then journalists from cnn who have embedded themselves with the idf, are also legitimate targets.

and as much as i hate a lot of these american journalists for their complicit reporting in the genocide of Palestinians, i think they deserve to be prosecuted in a free and fair court of law, not to be blown to bits for it. however, for israel, ALL palestinians must be killed to ensure the security of the zionist entity. even the existence of a single Palestinian is proof that israel is an illegitmate settler-colonial state that ethnically cleansed the indigenous population.

just love hearing kieran culkin talk about succession/roman because he always talks about, like, the process of it and it’s so interesting — the scenes that are kept, the scenes that are taken out, the choices writers made he didn’t agree with, the choices he made that the writers (originally) didn’t agree with…. always really hammers in not only how collaborative the show is in that input from the actors is taken very seriously but also just how much culkin cares about roman like as a character? which i mean ya know all actors do. but culkin always talks about being a fan of the show first and an actor in it second and i think that’s such a huge thing. like, the way he cares about roman isn’t just as the actor playing him, it’s as a fan of the show — he’s approaching it not just from, like, a This Is My Job angle but also from the perspective of a fan who is just genuinely invested in the character of roman and would feel frustrated if they saw him do something that didn’t feel in-line with his character! kc would hate tumblr just like he hates all social media but he would indeed kill it on here

My like favorite headcanon pairing is Southern William Wisp and Semi-city boy Dakota btw

@folongle if your redraw was made into a marketable item:

He’s kidding. He meant to say they made him more attractive and just doesn’t want to admit it.

one of the other most consistent ways I’ve seen ppl mischaracterize /infantilize jack is by giving him interest headcanons in shit that literal preschoolers watch and it simply must be corrected because 1) obligatory he’s not a fucking baby first and foremost, and 2) he’s obsessed with zombies. his favorite show is the walking dead. he’s a HUNTER. HE’S A WAR CRIMINAL AND A TEENAGE COSMIC HORROR. HE LIKES SCARY THINGS, HE CAN HANDLE SCARY THINGS, HE IS THE SCARY THING. can we please abandon that idea forever thank you

Good evening if you are spoiling the Percy Jackson series for people who haven’t read the books on purpose you’re an asshole

I love in ep. 6 that because of what Lydia says about “the play” ending and everyone moving on, when Jane loses the election Cynthia basically decides the Pink Ladies have run their course. The girls try to dispute it however in the episode the girls actually spend more time apart doing their own things until the very end, Jane realizes the Pink Ladies are kind of ruling the school, Olivia stops herself from falling back into something she knows isn’t good for her, and Nancy and the other girls immediately run to find Cynthia when she bails on the play because they’re worried about her.

But the very cherry on top, is when they get to Cynthia’s house and she tells them she doesn’t want to talk about it. So instead, Jane offers to not talk about it. And Cynthia’s reaction?

“So, what are we gonna do instead?”

She cannot imagine a world where they’re not worrying about an election or the downfall of somebody else or saving their reputations. So Jane simply suggests watching TV, which the other girls very enthusiastically agree to. That moment perfectly contrasts Cynthia’s doubts that they were never just friends and just four gals come together for a cause. These girls care about her and they’re allowed to just. Hang out. Watch TV, sing along to toothpaste commercials. They’re allowed to just be friends, there’s no fine print.

I can’t like. DESCRIBE how viscerally upset I get when I realize just how unfair it is that Ethan wanted NOTHING MORE than to be there for Rose. To love her, to raise her, to be her father. And Mia (seemingly, at least) HAD THAT OPTION AND DITCHED HER. SHE (I wanna reiterate seemingly) HAD THE ONE THING ETHAN WANTED MOST IN THE WORLD AND S Q U A N D E R E D IT.
