bad boys do it better

rated: teen | @steddieholidaydrabbles prompt: modern au tags: dating apps, innuendo, bad flirting read on ao3

✿

Eddie finally opens Tinder after downloading it in a fit of desperation.

He's tried everything but these stupid apps—bars and clubs and pottery classes and rock climbing—trying to find someone he can connect with.

But he's mostly found guys that string him along with whispered sweet nothings and half-promises they don't intend to follow through on.

So he makes his profile and then promptly fumbles and drops his phone because— no fucking way.

There's no way this is real life.

There's no fucking way the first guy to pop up is Steve fucking Harrington, his unfortunate and longest lasting crush in high school.

He picks up his phone and sees Steve's face staring back at him, unassuming, a bright, cheery smile on his face.

Steve, 28 2 miles away "Hope you like bad boys because I have it on dvd and vhs" Interests: baseball, basketball, live music, movies

He taps to get to the next photo and lets out a shaky breath—the shorts of what can only be his Halloween costume are so short, exposing hairy thighs that Eddie wants to sink his teeth into.

The next photo is a snapchat picture of him grinning wide, cradling what might be the world's ugliest dog, the text across the screen reading my nephew is so handsome 🤩🤩🤩.

The last is an obligatory shirtless mirror pic, not showing off washboard abs, but the soft, toned skin of his stomach.

He closes the app, sets his phone down, and breathes through his nose.

This can't be real, right? In what world would Steve be the first person in a sea of profiles in San Francisco of all places?

Eddie expected him to chase after Nancy Wheeler when she went to Boston, but he didn't stick around long enough in Hawkins to find out if they ever rekindled their will-they-won't-they relationship.

Maybe he's just visiting. Maybe he found his match and just forgot to delete Tinder. Because there's just no way Eddie has this kind of luck.

He opens up Instagram and searches for Steve and finds him right away because they're probably still Facebook friends.

He scrolls through his profile and deflates a little, because all of the pictures on Tinder are from his Instagram. Which means it's probably much more likely that someone is catfishing using Steve's pictures.

Because the Steve from high school wasn't into men. And he's hot enough for someone to use his pictures to scam people or whatever.

He opens up Tinder again and his thumb is swiping right before he thinks about what he's doing.

It's a match!

Okay, now he knows it's a catfish. Or maybe it's a bot.

There's no world in which Steve Harrington would swipe right on him in the twenty minutes it's been since he created his account.

He types a message to "Steve" saying so are you a bot or just a catfish?

He doesn't get a response right away, so he clicks out of the messages, looking at profiles of what are hopefully actual people he can connect with.

His phone buzzes when the message from Steve comes in.

Hi3 Eddiems, cl!ck th3 linkin my proffile to . achat I am waitin9

He rolls his eyes and goes back to perusing profiles. It's not like he thought it was really Ste-

His phone pings with another message and he clicks back into the chat immediately.

That was a joke. There's not even a link in my profile

Eddie's heart beats a little faster, his fingers typing out a response.

So a catfish then?

Why do you think I'm a catfish?????

Because I know the guy in those pictures and there's no way hes into men. That guy was a jock extraordinaire in high school and very straight

You're awfully judgey for someone who was so anti-conformity in high school. Whos to say I haven't changed?

Or like, learned new things about myself?

Eddie's breath stutters in his throat.

Also you didn't really know me since we never talked.

Okay, I mean. It's pretty easy to guess that I was counterculture in high school by looking at me. So I'm still on the fence about the catfish thing

How about we meet up then? So you can see me in all my nearing-30 glory

And watch bad boys on dvd and vhs with you?

Dude, I am not inviting you to my house on the first date

That's a third date kind of thing

Oh yeah? Is it a back-to-back feature? We start with the vhs then move to dvd?

He can't believe he's entertaining this. A catfish wouldn't offer to meet up unless they thought Eddie wouldn't call their bluff. He kind of wants to see where this is going.

No see, we start with the dvd playing in the living room and then when we inevitably start being bad boys🥵 in the middle of the movie, we can pick it back up on vhs in my room later

To be clear, we stop the movie, right? I'm not sure bad boys has a soundtrack meant for the kind of activities we'd be doing

Oh for sure. I'd even put on my "let's get it on" playlist. As a treat.

Eddie can't help but grin. Even if this guy is a catfish, this is maybe the most fun he's had talking to someone in a long time.

Are you serious about meeting up?

Uh yeah, I can't have you thinking I'm a catfish forever

What's your favorite brewery?

Cellarmaker

Wanna do tomorrow afternoon at like 2 when it's not busy?

That sounds perfect

He isn't sure if it's really Steve or if he's going to be met with someone else or stood up, but at least he'll get to drown his sorrows if it doesn't work out.

Well—he's unsure until he gets the 'stharrington started following you' notification on Instagram a few minutes later.

He screams into his pillow so loud his neighbor thumps on the wall.

We need to talk about the Watcher "fans".

These are the top comments on Shane’s IG post. Just look at the number of likes.

“Steven Lim is a greedy, manipulative evil CEO that twists his white co-founder's hands and forces the said co-founder into his will!!!” – this narrative is being prevalent in this fandom since April 19. People harassed him all across social media on every platform. People wrote nasty comments not only to his social media accounts but also to his wife and friends.

People made a Change.org hilariously dumb petitions to have him leave the CEO post.

People gleefully demonize and tear down his reputation. Twist his words out of context in to something vile. Weaponize the years old inside jokes his friends made on camera.

“This is not racism!!!” they say. “These are just the facts!!!”

No they aren’t. And here’s why:

because this

is the same as this:

Covert racism in language, or coded racism, is the deployment of common stereotypes or tropes to elucidate a racially charged idea. Rather than expressly perpetuating racist tropes, covert linguistic racism is seen as rational or "common sense", and many are not aware of its impact.

Racial stereotypes. Racial or cultural stereotyping refers to generalizing a group based on a simplified set of norms, behaviors, or characteristics.

The Yellow Peril (also the Yellow Terror, the Yellow Menace and the Yellow Specter) is a racist color metaphor that depicts the peoples of East and Southeast Asia[a] as an existential danger to the Western world.

Fu Manchu is a fictional character created by Arthur Ward, a music hall writer and journalist in London in the early 1900s. Writing under the pseudonym Sax Rohmer, Ward had absolutely no knowledge of Chinese culture or Chinese people – but his invention of a Chinese supervillain struck a chord in Victorian Britain and became a smash hit.

Fu Manchu was the original fictional Asian villain, a trope which became embedded in popular culture and Western psyche spawning spin-offs, spoofs, pop songs, video games and even consumer goods. But how damaging is Fu Manchu and how much can he tell us about modern Asian racism?

Ward wrote Fu Manchu as the personification of the so-called Yellow Peril threat: exotic, alien and inhuman, a mastermind boasting degrees from top universities. Using sinister powers to control minds, he aimed to undermine Western civilisation.

"This led to the idea that the Chinese were deceiving – they weren't being honest, they weren't revealing who they really are as people. This spawned into stories of Chinese as cheats and liars and deceitful – never giving you the truth, always fabricating."

Seven Lim being labeled as “greedy” “evil” and “manipulative” (of his white co-founder) is rooted in Anti-Asian racism. Whether people admit it or not.

Racism is not always derogatory slurs or white hoods. Racism is also casual micro-aggressions and putting people of color in the metaphorical boxes of harmful stereotypes. Racism is twisting the narrative and shaping it into a vile stereotype straight from the 19th century.

Also, let's not forget that people are happy to jump on Ryan in the similar way for the same reasons.

punctured tires and sunsets.

jean kirstein x reader, modern a.u. , roadtrip headcanons!

requested by ; @jeanscremebrulee

a/n ; this kinda just turned into an unofficial fic :') i LOVED writing it tho!! thank you so much for the request :D also! there's alot of mentions of jeans music taste in this fic so here's a playlist I made with songs I think he listens to :) I know it's too late to say this but happy jean bday day to you guys <3 he's so find I won't him so bad

warnings ; none!

taglist ; @holding-infinity-and-a-book , @mrsnobodynobody , @jeanscremebrulee , @berrijam , @hopeless-anti-romantic , @cherrypieyourface , @imgayandshesanime , @moonmalice , @kivernova , @potaho3frog , @xakilicious , @katestrophes .

main masterlist ✿ enter my taglist ! ✿

• obnoxious packer. he has ALL the snacks because he has always been used to packing alot of snacks because of...reasons (ahem, sasha) but he also packs alot in general. not in an anxious way, he just likes the volume, it makes him feel like he has everything he needs (he doesn't). he has the most useless shit in there but would 100% forget to pack his underwear.

• best believe he has a really amazing playlist lined up. he asked you to join a collab one a couple days before the trip just so you two could have premium music playing on the day of :)

• I have this headcanon/trope that none of his plans ever go right for him...like he plans stuff to the t but they always end up going awry from the midway mark and this is no exception. the plan was to reach his mother's houss by dinner time, so that the two of you + his mom could unwind with a glass of wine before going to bed after a hearty dinner that jean was sure she was planning to make for you both. while on the way to her place though, there's a really pretty beach that jean has been wanting to show you ever since the beginning, so the two of you would make a pitstop just around sunset time so that the weather wouldn't be too hot and you'd get to see the pretty sky with him, you'd spend a bit of time there, and after the sun sets, you'd resume driving. his mom's house wasn't that far from there, thankfully, so it would've taken an hour or less to reach.

• things actually are surprisingly going according to plan!! until the tire punctures and you two have to wait for help to arrive. thankfully it's only noon at this point, and jean thinks you'll still be able to make it to the beach and see the sunset after getting help. and you're also helping him maintain his cool by telling him that it's not as if you're on a time sensitive mission or anything; you two can take your time since you're just going to meet his mom for the long weekend

• it does help him quite a bit!! the road is extremely empty since it's not one that's taken often, people usually take the highway too much resulting in traffic, but this road is direct and jean discovered it his first year of college

• so you wait :) everytime jean calls the mechanic, he tells him there's been a "delay", and someone will be there shortly. meanwhile, you two share the sandwiches you had packed and decide to spend the time talking and playing some music. the sandwiches are balanced on the front of his car over a picnic blanket, along with some redbull and your prefered drink that he had packed for the way.

• he has a mouthful of sandwich when you're telling him a funny story about your childhood friends, and he chokes on the sandwich as he tries to not laugh. you have to pat his back in between laughs of your own so that he doesn't inhale the food and die.

• the playlist plays on a loop, the weather is surprisingly not too hot, with the occasional wind blowing in your face reminding you that nature isnt that cruel. the two of you add more songs and you have to surpress a smirk when you add like,,, 2000's pop songs. lady gaga, taylor Swift's older songs, Katy Perry, imagine dragons, all that

• jean, on the other hand, adds songs that he wants to slow dance with you to. everytime he tries to be romantic at home and pull you in for a dance, you two are reminded how cramped the room is, and you have to try not to step on his feet. the last time the two of you tried to dance together in your living room, he ended up stubbing his toe and falling on you because of it :') and then he tried to brush it off by saying that that was his plan from the beginning, and it resulted to a week's worth of teasing from you everytime he tried to walk near the same table

• so now that you have all of this empty space, he adds cute cheesy songs with the intention of pulling you in, disregarding your complaints of you not knowing how to dance.

• it's a nice mix of songs that make you want to twerk and/or reminisce the times the songs you added were popular, and slow dancing with giggles in between. both of you get to do what you want in the end, the playlist being put on shuffle.

• jean and you scream sing hot n cold by Katy Perry, shouting in eachother's faces as if you're an old married couple bickering, acting out the music video in some bits. and then after the song finishes, the next song just so happens to be more than a woman by the bee gees (ofcourse)

• let me set the scene : the two of you are holding your drinks in your hand, taking a sip after singing the song to eachother, laughing, he takes a sip of his redbull that he has to stop himself from wincing because of it being warm and not chilled. and then more than a woman comes on, and his eyes light up mid-sip as he turns to face you almost immediately. you do the same, you brows shooting up and a knowing look on your face.

• "you know the rules,* he says, placing the redbull on the car, taking your hand in his and pulling you in softly. "of I step on your toe, it-" " you won't. spin," he says, pulling apart from you a little so you had the space to do it. he tells you about how his mother used to play this song every Sunday while making pancakes for him on slow mornings, and she'd make a passing comment about how she'd have loved to dance to the song on her wedding day if she had the chance. jean told you that he had made a mental promise that he would dance with his future partner on his wedding day to the song, and it only added to his love for the song.

• you had to refrain yourself from kissing him senseless after he told you about it, instead opting for a hum with a wide and soft smile, resting your forehead on the crook of his shoulder.

• ANYWAY, the two of your spend the time like that, dancing and talking while the music plays in the background. the hours pass by fairly easily, munching on the snacks you had packed

• jean does get a little ansty near the 6 o clock mark. not only had the mechanic promised to be here by now, the time to reach the beach was running out :( he'd already called his mom and told her that they probably wouldnt make it in time for dinner, so somewhere deep down he kinda knew that you two wouldn't be able to catch the sunset anyway.

• noticing his disappointment, you spoke up after he called his mother. she understood, of course, told him it was fine and she'd wait up for you two anyway, with the same meal she had planned.

• "we still have the blankets we packed for the picnic. and the pillows, too." you say. jean sighs, rubbing a hand over his face. "i know, I'm sorry, we had to pack that for no reas-" "no, I mean, we can pop open the trunk and set it up. the sun is going to set on this side," you say, pointing your thumb out, taking a step towards him and taking a hold of his hand, rubbing circles on the back of his palm. "we can still watch the sunset. i know its not what you wanted to show me, but it's alright, I don't mind. i got to spend time with you, anyway, and besides, we can try to catch it while coming back home." you tell him.

• his shoulder relax and his eyes soften immediately, pecking your lips and agreeing with you. and so it's settled; you two open the trunk and set up the blanket and pillows so you could sit comfortably, your phone playing the songs still, albeit softly. you pop open another energy drink for him and then one for yourself, he stretches his limbs before settling in with you.

• it's beautiful. the sun sets with your head on his shoulder and his pride is too inflated to admit that this was far prettier than watching the same scene at the beach, although he knows it's mostly because of you being there with him. he occasionally lays kisses on the crown of your head with you humming along to the songs.

• the mechanic arrives just as it starts getting dark, before too much panic settling in the both of you about the lack of light. he replaces the tire, jean pays (obviously he does), and you two continue driving. thankfully, it's not that bad, and despite the caffeine in your body, you doze home with the blanket wrapped around your shoulders and your knees pulled up to your chest.

• jean glances at you from time to time, and everytime a song he knows you'd like comes on, he gently kisses the back of your hand :)

• you two reach far later than expected, he has to wake you up softly, greeting you with a kiss. he doesn't let you touch any of the luggage, preferring to haul the bag himself. not that it's hard for him. after eating the meal his mother made, he promptly falls asleep on the couch as you and his mom talk with the promised glass of wine on the floor.

(his mother leaves to get the bottle for a refill, coming back to your eyes closed, your back against the couch, your face turned towards jean. she obviously takes a picture to put in her photo album.)

hey uh. I know art is subjective and lines can be read multiple ways, but the "this is modern feminism talkin' / I expect to run the world in shoes I cannot walk in" line in "sexy" from mean girls the musical has never read to me like a cutting indictment of the foibles of pop feminism. like I have Tried to figure out how it can be read that way, and I can't make it work, it really just seems to me like it's meant to be painting karen as dumb and entitled because "modern feminism" has led her to "expect" to have power. every single time it just reminds me of those gamergate era anti feminist memes that put a suffragette next to someone at a slut walk protest with a caption like "real feminists used to fight for women's rights, modern feminists fight for the right to be taken seriously while dressed like a slut." this is a line I actually have no qualms about being changed for the movie.

Sonic Music HCs

Sonic: Punk rock. Punk music tends to be anti-establishment, anti-authoritarian, and often pro-environmentalism. These are all core beliefs of Sonic's, and so the lyrics would resonate with him deeply. Sound-wise, fast guitars and loud drums are his bread and butter. If music doesn't make your blood race and bones rattle, what's the point? He hates ballads; anything too slow or sappy puts him off. (Though, he has sang slower punk songs, such as "Roadside" by Rise Against, to Tails as lullabies when they were younger.)

Tails: Also punk rock, because it's what he grew up listening to thanks to Sonic. Plus, punk rock songs tend to be loud and busy enough to provide his brain with the stimulation necessary to allow him to focus on one project at a time. That said, Tails is fine with most music and thinks there's something to like in just about any genre.

Knuckles: Honestly could not remember ever hearing a song even once in his life before traveling down to the surface for the first time. Sure, birds would sing and chao would bang on drums, but a full on song? No. That said, when he IS introduced to music he likes instrumental hip-hop. Songs with lyrics frustrate him if he can't tell what the lyrics are, so he likes instrumentals with nice beats.

Amy: Amy loves anything you can dance to. Pop and hip-hop are the big ones, but she also thinks swing music and jazz can be really fun to listen and dance to, too. She's pretty amiable about music too, but she doesn't like anything that sounds depressing or moody. Bright, fun, happy songs are her style.

Cream: On the record, Cream only listens to classical music that Vanilla introduced to her basically as soon as she was born. Off the record she also listens to everything Amy listens to, and is very invested in learning all the dance routines.

Big: Has no preferences really, basically anything is fine with him, but he does have an impressive collection of bluegrass albums.

Shadow: His music taste was cultivated fifty years ago on the Space Colony ARK when Maria would play her favorite records and he would listen to them with her. However, listening to those songs now hurts him in a way he doesn't want to deal with, so he doesn't. He also thinks most modern music sounds like garbage, so honestly, he just doesn't listen to music period. That said, he does enjoy a wide variety of podcasts, from trivia and history ones to true crime ones. He doesn't like talking to people, but he does like to listen to people talking to other people who aren't him.

Rouge: She likes whatever is most advantageous to like in the given moment. She has a vast array of music knowledge so she can con her way into any fan space or event. That said, the music playing most often in her bar is R&B or oldies.

Omega: He likes listening to things like recordings of car crashes, building and tank explosions, malfunctioning machinery, air raid sirens, etc. He insists this counts as music. Rouge advises against arguing with him, and Shadow hopes you try.

Vector: He's a ska man through and through, but he does dabble in a wide array of other genres too, to expand his music education. The only thing he won't touch is EDM. He thinks Omega's car crash recordings have more musical merit than EDM.

Espio: Espio claims to only listen to indie artists that most people have never heard of and Charmy says he made up on the spot. When asked to describe the genre, he never can. He actually listens to a mixture of emo rock and rap.

Charmy: Pop, but specifically the Kidz Bop versions because Vector doesn't want to have to explain cuss words, and also because Espio hates Kidz Bop with a passion. He also likes EDM when he's mad at Vector for something.

Whisper: Lo-fi is her absolute favorite; it calms her down even in her worst mental health moments. But she also used to be a big fan of alt rock, and the wisps remember how she has a beautiful deep register for R&B.

Tangle: Just about everything and anything, but power metal is a particular fave and it's her dream to be able to play "Through the Fire and Flames" on a real guitar. (Note: she does not know how to play guitar.) She will lose her voice screaming metal at karaoke and will go right back to do it again the next night.

Jewel: Also a fan of power metal; similar music taste is one of the first things she and Tangle bonded over. She's fine with other music, but when she's listening to music while serenely completing paperwork, there's power metal shredding in her earbuds.

Lanolin: She likes a smattering of different things, but her go-tos tend to be more indie / alternative fares. Think things like Sleeping at Last for instance. Heavy guitars and drums aren't her style: she prefers more melodic pieces.

Eggman: EDM. If it isn't made by machines, he doesn't think it's worth listening to.

Starline: Only the most distinguished classicals; nothing low-brow peasants would listen to. Eggman's taste in "music" was the only turn-off Starline had.

Surge: Thrash metal, speed metal—if it is loud, aggressive, and full of screaming, she is all over it. She hates anything sentimental, slow, or sweet.

Kit: Thrash metal and speed metal, because that's all Surge will listen to, and the idea of listening to something else on his own has never occurred to him.

Ceol comhaimseartha as Gaeilge (Contemporary irish language music recommends)

Many foriegners looking more into more music as gaeilge following from Unreal Unearth and have been asked afew times about it. So Im gon give afew recommendations

Seo Linn - Folk/Indie/Soft Rock group formed in Conamara and have a good range of sounds ranging from newer covers of our most popular folk songs (Óró sé do bheatha abhaile , Siúil a Rúin and Mo ghile mear are among the best) and are a good intro point

IMLÉ - More of a collection of artists who bring different sound styles together and topics in their lyrics. Honestly, just take the entireity of the self-titled album as a taster

Róisín Seoighe - A great soloist and someone who transfers aspects of Canadh Sean Nós into a newer format. Alot of her work and songs touch on the state of Gaeilge (Níl mé marbh and Sín do lamh).

Kneecap - One of the more well-known, atleast over here. A rap trio from Belfast/Derry, and alot of their lyrics and flow focuses much more on the specific experience of both millenial life and Gaeilgeoirí and An Ghaeilge in the North, and what its actually like trying to engage with society through our language when half of the the governmental institution has contempt for its existence. CEARTA, one of their singles, has still stayed a sort of aintiún (anthem) for language rights up here in the North. Also, heavy heavy anti-colonialism, mar sin craic Mhaith (see their JOE.ie interview). Otherwise, some of ther best works you might like are Cearta, Bouncers agus Gael-Gigolos

TG Lurgan - A sort of summer school/learning scheme that started out of the Connemara Gaeltacht, meant to help irish learners pick up the more natural flow specifically by learning through music. Nearly all of the music is sung by school kids and leading musicians with the majority being covers of pop songs. So you can find the lyrics online easily, and can be a helpful way for people trying to learn how to deal with the lack of real word-for-word translation ó Ghaeilge go Béarla.

This is just a handful of artists, and the first handful rarely scrape over 2000 streams a month. Modern irish music is still very much a niche in its own way, miserably so even on our island. Theres no shortage of music you can find being made by newer artists though, even if ceol as gaeilge only makes up some of their work

Tá súil agam go bhfaighidh tú roinnt a mbaineann tú taitneamh astu, agus má tá tú ag foghlaim, go gcabhraíonn sé leat

So apparently since I don’t like seeing Taylor’s face everywhere on the Internet, I was labeled as a Trumpanzee.

I was told to “hump Trump’s leg” in a Democratic Facebook group all because I commented that I don’t like seeing Taylor’s face everywhere on the Internet everyday.

Swift supporters are unhinged.

“I tried so hard, and got so far, but in the end, it doesn’t even matter”:

The Awkward Meta-Tragedy of Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman

In which I thoroughly (over-) analyze the ending of this classic work in seven parts, with perhaps gratuitous references to 2000s pop music thrown in. The introduction and links to subsequent posts are below:

[Note: a link to a google doc containing the whole essay will also be at the end of this post, if you'd rather read it in that format instead of clicking links to the separate pages]

Introduction

I was warned that Neil Gaiman’s book series The Sandman was a tragedy. A post on tumblr, circulated not long after the successful Netflix adaptation’s first season released, warned new fans to not get their hopes up, to understand that the books were a Literary Tragedy to be taken seriously, and not to get carried away with fun cutesy shipping without the knowledge of what the source material would be like. However, the post carefully, and helpfully for those hoping to avoid spoilers, did not say in what manner the books constituted a tragedy.

So, when I first came to the end of the final installment of the series, I was shocked.

This was not like any tragedy I’d expected. And it felt… icky. It felt incredibly, shockingly, pessimistic.

Needless to say, massive, MASSIVE spoilers from here on out—you have been warned. Also content warning for discussions of depression, suicidal ideation and suicide, mentions of misogyny, and mentions of transphobia.

Also note that this isn’t intended as necessarily negative towards the original work, but more about the common fandom interpretation of it, as well as acknowledgment that, for better or worse, it is “of its time” and doubtless going to come across differently to a modern first-time reader. Also, this is just my own interpretation, I’ve been told I tend to interpret things pessimistically, and I’ve only just read the books as of 2022, so I in no way position this as a definitive analysis, nor even necessarily a correct one.

Continue to:

Part 1: Tragic, but not a Tragedy… Unless you get weird about mental health

Part 2: Hob Gadling—How to win by doing nothing?

Part 3: “Façade”—So much foreshadowing, so little time

Intermission: A Midsummer Night’s Dream

Part 4: Damn Daniel, Back at it again with the (symbolic) white vans

Part 5: “It sure is exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero”: Should We Even Care?

Part 6: “I reject your reality, and substitute my own”: Maybe There is Hope After All

UPDATE: I have also written a "bonus chapter" of this, focusing on Season of Mists, HERE

Tagging those I believe interested: @duckland @roguelov @notallsandmen @lizajane2 @ambercoloredfox

@serenityspiral not sure if you want to read this before you finish the books, because this is literally about the ending and it might kinda ruin the experience if you're completely spoiled

@onehundredandeleventropicalfish I'm gonna be bold and tag you and hope I'm not completely wrong

𝓜𝓸𝓭𝓮𝓻𝓷 𝓐𝓾 𝓨𝓪𝓷𝓭𝓮𝓻𝓮 𝓔𝓻𝓮𝓷 𝓗𝓮𝓪𝓭𝓬𝓪𝓷𝓷𝓸𝓷’𝓼

Trigger warning: Murder, Violence, Tragic Death, Slight Gore, Blood, Cursing, Bullying, Suicidal Thoughts, Promotion of Suicide from a Bully, Corrupt Cop. Please correct me if I'm missing any.

Contents: It’s a head cannon with a little story at the end. This is how I think Modern Au Yandere Eren would be I haven't proof read… (；ﾞﾟ'ωﾟ')

18 + only! MDNI

𝓔𝓻𝓮𝓷’𝓼 𝓟𝓮𝓻𝓼𝓸𝓷𝓪𝓵 𝓐𝓯𝓯𝓪𝓲𝓻’𝓼

❥ Eren isn’t in any college clubs, and tends to be anti-social. Although he has some friends from middle school but they aren’t as close as they used to be since Eren grew into his own person. His friend and him had a huge falling out when his father died and despite making up they have grown even more distant since he became obsessed with you but, they don’t know that you are the reason; they speculate however, that you could be involved due to the uncharacteristic wavering of his eyes when you’re around.

❥ He’s snarky. He genuinely wakes up on the wrong side of the bed every morning and rolls with it.

❥ He’s pretty much silent unless someone gives him shit, then he’ll make a sarcastic remark or be snippy; he’ll even leave if it’s too much. If that doesn’t work or he can’t leaver, he’s not afraid to intimidate the living shit outta the person pestering him. He doesn’t care about what they say or think, he’s busy working on getting his life together to best take care of you. Because you will end up together and all of life’s struggles will melt away in your union.

❥ He likes music so he learned how to play the guitar. He’s pretty good at it. 90% chance if you have a favorite song, he already knows how to play it.

❥ Despite his appearance fitting the stereotype of ‘energy drink fanatic’ he actually likes coffee. When I write coffee I don’t mean a Dutch bros picture perfect or a caramel frappuccino from Starbucks—he likes straight from the press, dark ass coffee. He’s not addicted or anything like that, he just prefers something bitter in the morning that won’t get him hopped up like an energy drink—not that he wouldn’t have one here or there. He just has a preference.

❥ He’s been trying to be more independent, doing things his mother used to do. He ended up learning how to cook Japanese Coquettes, but they don’t taste exactly like his mothers. However with a bit more practice he believes he’ll get the recipe just right. He has to eventually right? On that note, he’s the kind of Yandere to learn how to make the things you like without drawing to much attention to it. If you were to be over while not knowing of his Yandere tendencies and to question it, he’d respond in a slightly irritated voice saying—“I guess I’ve cooked a lot of things you’ve liked the past couple of days, how was I supposed to know you like those dishes too? You should just be grateful I’m feeding you, and quite your complaining. You have already complained enough for the both of us.”

𝓐 𝓒𝓸𝓾𝓹𝓵𝓮 𝓢𝓸𝓷𝓰’𝓼 𝓗𝓮 𝓵𝓲𝓴𝓮’𝓼

❥ Steve Lacy—Dark Red

❥ Arctic Monkeys—505

❥ Monkeygunk—The Less I Know The Better

❥ Soundgarden—Blackhole Sun

❥ The Neighborhood—Daddy Issues

❥ Radiohead—Creep

𝓔𝓻𝓮𝓷’𝓼 𝓢𝓽𝔂𝓵𝓮

❥ Eren has black hair at mid length and it’s always half up with a man bun which is probably the only cute thing about him. He tends to wear darker colors like black, navy, forrest green and so on. He is unintentionally bordering on E-boy attire 99% of the time but his outfit is always a little bit simpler then the light tones and patterns that come with being an E-Boy. However he isn’t found without a pair of dark jeans and a pop of jewelry on his fits.

❥ He has a couple piercing not because he thinks he’s hot shit; he’s gott’em because he is hot shit. He has one on his right eyebrow, a Nose ring on his left nostril, Snake bite piercing’s—which he often puts in two silver rings; also, both of his ears have a double helix piercing, a conch piercing and a basic lobe piercing.

❥ He hasn’t yet—but he has been deeply contemplating getting something on his upper left shoulder. Also he’s the kind of Yandere to get a tattoo of your name or birthday on him after you’ve been dating a while.

𝓨𝓪𝓷𝓭𝓮𝓻𝓮 𝓣𝓮𝓷𝓭𝓮𝓷𝓬𝓲𝓮’𝓼

❥ Eren is an extremely intimidating Yandere. He doesn’t necessarily have the best reputation since his falling out with his friends. They’ve reconciled a bit—or so you’ve heard through the grape vine but over all he’s still alone most of the time. Now that you’re both in college, the amount of people who know about the event are diluted but apparently he was very aggressive. However it’s hard not to be graceful with him because ultimately his mothers death could have impacted him back then in that moment when his father was sick—most people decided to forgive but not forget…as if they had any business mingling in it.

❥ When people act poorly to you, he just observers, watching everything unfold with attention to detail. Part of him likes watching you suffer just a bit; despite that sadistic desire, the other part of him will waste no time in correcting the offenders behavior. Only when its the right time and place a place where no one can hear them beg for help. He really does see his own characteristics in you when you suffer, because struggle brings out the best in you.

❥ He doesn’t mind if you catch him staring, he is one of those Yandere’s who will stare a moment longer then necessary before looking away. He honestly doesn’t care if you know he has his eye on you. His gaze sometimes makes you wonder what you did to get the attention of the schools most intimidating loner—we’re you gonna get it like some of the other kids? That’s what you thought at first at least, until you realized the people picking on you were starting to apologize left and right—you started to look at him first, rather then him initiating it. The silent acknowledgment between you two only grew longer with every passing day as you tried to read the other mind.

❥ At first he doesn’t make his feelings for you obvious at all. When you’d think of Eren, the majority of your thoughts were, ‘he always just happens to be near when something happens…but he never does anything…he’s just there.’ At first Eren uses this approach because he doesn’t want you to see him as confrontational because of his past and the rumors surrounding him. However when your bullies and aggravating classmates started apologizing, you knew something was up and that there was only one other person who was connected to each and every single event that someone apologized for. That’s when he started to be a little more obvious about his presence because he realized you found a strange sense of safety when he was near, as if no one would test you because they knew what he’d done to the people who had before.

❥ Eren doesn’t kill. Or rather he hasn’t killed a lot. He doesn’t really need to, so why would he? He can just beat the living crap outta his rivals or scare them off. If he ever were to kill someone it would be because they wouldn’t back off and he got carried away with the beating—but he wouldn’t feel bad about it. Some of his first killings though we're out of unchecked rage or unwanted impulses…He was pretty sloppy but he has a frien—somebody… on the force. Eren isn’t really capable of caring for Zeke as more then a tool.

𝓔𝓻𝓮𝓷’𝓼 𝓔𝓷𝓭 𝓖𝓸𝓪𝓵’𝓼

❥ He wants to be your forever partner, buy a house, maybe get married. He doesn’t really have any strong ambitions other then keeping you around and finding happiness. He really thinks you’re the one who will end all of his suffering—he knows you are. You’ve already given him enough hope to keep living, he could wait to see what more was to come.

❥ If you wanted kids he’d be happy to have some, the more of you there are the better his life is. However, he isn’t exactly aspiring to be a father, he just knows if that’s something you want, he is willing to take on that role and appease you.

𝓔𝓻𝓮𝓷’𝓼 𝓟𝓪𝓼𝓽

❥ When Eren was younger he was a much happier kid. He was polite, ambitious and always trying to see the good in things. However when his mom died in a massive 15 car pile up his father caused, he became much crueler.

❥ Mikasa and Armin were there to help him through it but Eren was not respective. Eren was so upset with his father who had sustained severe injuries and was on life support, that according to rumor, he wished his dad death; quite vividly. He was so belligerent in his sentiment that Mikasa and Armin couldn’t even get him out of the room without security. Erens father died a couple minutes after, due to the rarity of his life support machine having technical difficulties. The sick rumor people liked to spread was that Eren “pulled the plug” but no one could prove anything like that. Even if they were probably right, they shouldn’t have said it.

❥ After the loss of both of his parents, Eren was taken in by his long lost half brother Zeke. While living with Zeke, Eren learned so much about his father and his hatred continued to boil. The home environment wasn’t the slitest bit helpful in aiding Eren through his loss and because of this Eren started to become more confrontational. Eren started to learn from Zeke the futility of mingling in life.

𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓓𝓪𝔂 𝓗𝓮 𝓜𝓮𝓽 𝓨𝓸𝓾

After a particularly long day beating up annoying assholes who ran their mouths and dared to bring up his mother, Eren found himself on his high schools roof top. Somehow he had gotten on the other side of the fence, sitting in pure disarray.

‘Was this truly living?’ He’d though to himself analytically. ‘Was the purpose of life to never be happy? What even was happy to him? What could he possibly take away from this life?’ With every step he found himself hyper-fixating on some aspect of the ground below. At first he was playing a little game with himself, tossing rocks from the gardening clubs rooftop flower beds up above onto certain spots below. But he grew distracted by things like a butterfly was drinking from a freshly bloomed bud, he also happened to notice a bit of dirt was dusted on the pavement—he wondered if he landed about a half inch in front of it maybe the wind from the collision could brush it back into place. Maybe the forensic crime scene cleaner would rinse it off with his blood…

“Hey!” A furious voice taints his train of thought.

Great another cringy highschool drama, where could he find a mute button for obnoxious people like this. Ugh, her voice wasn’t making painting the pavement any less tempting.

“Stop her!” The same person as before screatches as two other chicks grab a blur of white who was unintentionally rushing straight into the trap. There was a loud pounding sound as the lone girl hit the other two with a great deal of force, the unsuspecting victim whining weakly in her defeat…

Her voice was so alluring to him…not that he payed to much mind to it. Not intentionally anyway. Couldn’t he just call it how it was without being to attached? Besides a voice as pleasant as forks scratching plates was quick to over power it.

“Did you honestly think we’d let you off the hook? How fucking stupid are you? Even if you ran all the way home, you know we’d just drop by.” At this point, despite Erens distance he noticed the way her skin was littered with bruises and drops of crimson. The source, the corners of her mouth…just how long had she been trying to out run this beating anyway? Clearly she wasn’t doing a good job of avoiding it…

“I doubt you could find where I live, you’re so stupid deciphering left and right is a daily struggle. I don’t even know how you get to scho—“ A kick hits the girl straight in the stomach without any mercy, a pathetic curse fumbling from her lips. “FuCk!”

Eren knew better then anyone else confronting your ass beater was the dumbest thing you could do, if someone would have mocked him, he woulda given ‘em a broken arm instantly. This bully was different then Eren though, he could tell they really got off on torturing their prey.

“You always have to run your mouth; you always have to be a pain in my ass. Well I have news for you (l/n), you aren’t shit, in fact I don’t know why the fuck you were born in the first place.” yep, they loved making her feel like she was nothing more then a worthless human being, as if they were any better or in a place to determine the value of life; the main one reminded him to much of his father. She disgusted him. “Probably so you could be a sore in everyone’s side, why don’t you just head on home and fuck the hell off into the next life…just like your daddy did.”

Well didn’t god have a sick sense of humor… it was clear they had struck a cord with their by the way her face scrunched up in disgust.

Maybe (l/n) or who ever the hell she was would understand exactly what Eren was thinking…how shitty all the people walking this earth truly were. How horrible this life was; how people like you and him were only here to suffer and then die. There was no point in continuing this pathetic facade that the world was full of amazing people and that there was some bullshit fools gold at the end of the rainbow—

“You wish.” Her voice pierces through the roaring silence of Eren’s mind. “If you think I’m so weak that I’m going to off myself over your stupid opinion and perception of me then your a couple cents short of a dollar. Give me all you’ve got, I’m not going anywhere.” By the time she’d finished her voice grew powerful, which intrigued Eren…he was intrigued despite the way she was quickly decked in the face.

Why was this girl so passionate about living in a world that was full of people like the ones throwing hands at her? What could she possibly know that he didn’t. As she became weaker by the secound Eren found himself chucking a pebble towards the main bully. Like a bullet the little pebble soared through the air.

“What the fuck! WHAT THE FUCK!” One of the girls screamed pulling away from the scene and analyzing what just happened. A shade of rich vermillion pouring out onto the concrete as a thud resounded. The pebble had hit a little harder then intended, leaving a hole in the bullies head. Eren was quick to hop the fence, it wasn’t like they could really see him up there or that they had even thought to look but, he found it best not to be at the scene of his own crime, Not that he had any remorse for what he’d done; in fact he was much more interested in this (l/n), chick…

When officers Zeke Yeager arrived at the scene he wrote it off as an accident, one of the pebbles must have fallen and happened to land right in-between the girls head—how strange. He sure seemed to keep running into little unfortunate coincidences here and there…at least ever since he became involved with his half brother. Although it didn’t bother him, it wasn’t something he wasn’t a-custom too, there just needed to be a chat about the consistency of said accidents perhaps…

After that, Eren was the Elmers to your Glue. Not that you knew he was your second shadow, you were not-so-blissfully unaware, considering you watched a girl's brains spill out of her skull. Talk about sick karma, telling a girl to end her life and then your own life coming to such a sick end…ugh you couldn't eat without needing to upchuck for a week. It truly became a struggle to get back to neutral…honestly you never fully did.

Either way Eren was there, and everyday you reminded him of himself before his mother passing. As if despite what ever event you experienced in your life, you kept your perseverance for finding happiness. You kept your hopes up that one day all of the suffering could come to an end…You gave Eren hope. You gave Eden someone to root for…You were the only person he's rooted for since his mother's past. And with every passing day Erens infatuation for you grew more and more developing into something he'd never felt before, something he couldn't label…

All he knew that you were the only thing binding him to this earth…You were his one and only ambition, and he would one day join you in ending all the pain and suffering life brought. That you and him would find sanctuary in each other...

Poltergeist pt. 2

Lol I didn’t even notice all the spelling mistakes in the tags of my own post until just now so I’ll be addressing all that first.

At first glance Frostbite’s the muscle of the organization, because you know the whole 9 foot tall yeti with arguably the single most metal and least metallic prosthetic arm in the world, but then he throws on a Lab Coat and starts cooking up a storm. New flavors, figuring out how to more efficiently bind and mix the ectoplasm with the energy drink, experimenting with different ratios of plasm to product, the whole nine yards. Maybe even figuring out how to incorporate the absolute masterpiece that is Jack’s attempt at making anti-ghost juice and resulted in pro-ghost juice, otherwise known as ecto-dejecto. That experimentation would have two results. The first one is just a premium version of the normal Poltergeist drink that has a bit more of a kick to it, like an energy drink X 2, but it’s ectodejecto so it’s kinda healthy for ghost. The other is essentially supernatural five hour energy/potion of mana restoration and or healing. They pop em like senzu beans.

Walker. He’s is absolutely having a blast about all this. His whole shtick is being an old timey cop. He’s practically straight out a old noir film, black and white coloration and all. And while sure, he has a whole bunch of prisoners to look after, he’s self aware enough to know that a lot of them are in on trumped up charges that arn’t fair. It’s nice and all, but it’s just not the same as proper criminals, investigations and getting to go full detective. So now that he’s got proper criminals to chase? Mysteries to solve? Old timey prohibition era shenaniganery to enjoy? He’s all in. Enjoying his job more then ever. Straight up vibing. No one’s seen him smile this much in decades. Not sense that one human criminal famous for killing cops kicked the bucket, became a ghost and pissed off enough people for someone to ask Walker to track him down. He’s straight up Giggling during his first high speed chase with Danny. Danny and his boys are in on it too. When I say high speed chase I mean an actual car chase, not just flying. He wasn’t planning to get caught in the act by Walker, but when he was he pointed at the vintage police car tricked out with ghost tech while climbing into his similarly tricked out pickup, tossed Walker the keys and was like “that one’s yours! We’ve got some killer jumps set up down the road so maybe try and drag it out a little? We’ll send you the footage afterward, even if you catch me.” Asides from cameras to capture footage of the jumps there were also speakers playing chase music. That type of style was a bit more modern then Walker was used to, but it was nice. More than nice. Similar speakers were set up in his prison shortly after the chase to play fight music whenever a prison riot or fight in the yard starts. He’s still legitimately trying to arrest Danny, and Danny’s bound and determined to get away, but they are having way to much fun with the whole ordeal.

So that’s what I have for now, enjoy your days, drink your water and comment any cool ideas you come up with pretty please with a cherry on top?

#danny fenton #danny phantom #fic prompt #dp au #story prompt #writing prompt #danny phantom au #dp #Danny’s a menace #Walker loves it #he is straight up haveing a good time #so is Danny #Frostbite is the smartest jock in the realms #also the scariest

All my thoughts and theories of this adorable clip:

Guys the soundtrack in the background sounds so good and epic, and I’m so loving the use of hip hop and rap in every trailer. You forget how effective black music is for action movies too considering how little it’s used comparatively. And it’s another thing about this movie that gives off Spider-verse vibes 👏🏽

Oml guys MM Leo is just like 2012 he’s such a dork and he gets all pouty all the time and the way Raph trolls him about it is just like the 2012 duo 🥹

I’m sorry the way Leo smiles so much while reciting that horrible speech??? 😂 like it doesn’t matter what Splinter tells them it is gold that he will gobble up even if it is objectively prejudice

Speaking of which, “I know that’s objectively prejudice but it’s what Dad taught us” line is so relatable to most kids today like yikes what a motto of the 21st century

But it really makes me wonder what Splinter’s backstory is going to be in this iteration considering no other version has hated or had a gripe with the human race as far as I’ve seen. I assumed he was going to be formerly human too, although this clip makes it seem that might not be the case, but if he still is I think that makes his speech to the kids much more interesting and honestly hilarious because if any of us were in his position would we tell them much differently? I mean come on that “they lust to murder that which is different from them” is so spot on. And honestly we already teach kids everything else he said too when it comes to strangers 😂 humans are bad, don’t say hi, humans are everything wrong with this planet, do not interact or you will die 👍🏽

“We wouldn’t have K-Pop without humans!” Wtf he’s so pure ugh

“I’d love to have a champagne brunch with Tom Brady” OMG GUYS HE’S JUST SO PROPER AND DORKY AGH

“Drake! That guy is the GOAT of all time.” I’m sorry did I hear that right 😂 sweet simple Raph ya gotta know what the terms mean if you’re gonna use modern slang

“Guy Fieri seems like a fun hang” ooooh continuing with the Mikey is the cook character trope maybe?

I really think this whole bit here is an interesting way of setting up the mutants vs human premise of the movie with the turtles in the middle of it all. Especially the way Leo recites that anti-human speech so whole-heartedly but also still acknowledges that they all disagree with Splinter about how cool humans are. Especially since they likely keep their own beliefs about it from their Dad, which again, so relatable to kids of old-fashioned parents today

“oOh i’M tHe lEaDeR. You sound like you have bronchitis!” They way they mock and roast him is just too much and too accurate 😂 also I just love their overlapping conversational moments

Other thoughts:

Also I gotta say in these released clips Leo is pouting or anxious half of the time while his bros are always having fun and I just gotta see how much that’s amplified in the entirety of the movie… Like it makes it seems like he must feel some kind of rift between him and his brothers sometimes and I want to see if that’s true

These kids are truly on their own… They at least start off keeping their fondness of humans from Splinter, they still can’t interact with humans either way, they find a group of mutants like them and seem to hit it off at first but then it just turns a whole fiasco where they have to defend humans from them, and at some later point we know when they do interact with/are exposed to humans it does not go well. I’m so excited to see how they tackle that post-climactic depressive section of the movie where the boys are really feeling the weight of all of it. Like, not too many clips have been released and there’s already so much isolation on their end. I’m glad April will at least be one positive outlet for them
