something about my own personal headcanons that are barely canon at best about a traumatized high elf becoming a tailor and taking his now extravagantly dressed wizard-nerd human boyfriend to fancy balls and parties and being sweet and wholesome and happy

馃The feathers are from an owl called "Athene noctua" and is associated with Athena/is believed to be Athena's owl
馃The statue she is holding is Nike, goddess of Victory and often paired with Athena (and no, that's not a weeping angel)
馃The cobweb on the necklace (for Arachne) and Medusa's face are to represent old grudges Athena has (very prideful indeed)*
馃Apparently emerald green was a colour associated with Athena. I love the way green looks with Teagan's red hair so I just went with it 馃槉
*Edit/small note : Athena is known for not being a girl's girl. But it's also quite well known that stories are often translated by men who like to pit women against each others. There are multiple versions of each Greek stories. For Medusa, some say that she was turned into a monster by Athena because she was in the wrong. Others say that she was turned that way out of mercy from Athena, so that she would never be hurt by men again. For Arachne, some say that she was turned into a spider because she won and Athena was too prideful to accept her defeat. Others will say that she lost against the goddess and k*lled herself. She was changed into a spider by Athena so she could keep weaving for all eternity.
I think these two elements can either be seen as old grudges Athena has or testimonies toward these two people she couldn't save on time (add the spear for Pallas into that but that's another story). Imo, the lyrics I was inspired by in My goodbye (selfish and prideful and vain) can be interpreted like Odysseus having actually no idea what really happened, or him being actually right and Athena being all of these. Anyway, I love all the layers in every song !

I don't think I'll ever tire of the "everyone thinks we're dating" trope applied to nagireo because these two are constantly saying stuff like "stay with me until the end" "I want him to be mine" "I'm Reo's partner" "good boy" "Reo is amazing" "my treasure" "I like being with you, Reo" "you're fine the way you are" "I felt like if I said that you'd never come back to me" "I've always been with you" and look at each other like this
But then when someone questions their closeness and asks if they're dating they're genuinely like "why would you think that?"
It gets me every time

i need mike finally gathering the courage to come out to someone (before byler happens) and that someone is joyce, because mike has been holding back and bottling in for so long and thank god it is joyce who鈥檚 next to him when everything finally fills him to the brim and pours out. and mike comes out, tells her he鈥檚 different, that he feels things a lot of people say he shouldn鈥檛 feel, that he knows love but people would scowl at it even though for mike it鈥檚 something only to smile about and to giggle and blush and feel good. and mike cries. he cries and sobs, not because he hates the fact that he鈥檚 gay, he鈥檚 accepted it and he can鈥檛 bring himself to believe it wrong anymore, not when it means he gets to be in love with will byers which is the only thing in his life that could ever make sense. no. mike cries because even though he鈥檚 accepted himself and continues to accept himself little by little every day, he still knows what being gay in this world means, and he鈥檚 scared. he鈥檚 so scared and he just needs one person that knows so they can tell him it will be okay even if it鈥檚 not true. even if mike can鈥檛 bring himself to believe it yet.
and joyce is that person of course. because of course she doesn鈥檛 care, of course her first instinct is to pull mike into a hug no matter their size difference. she wraps mike as if he was still the little kid that tailed after her the first few times he visited their house because he didn鈥檛 feel confident enough yet to wander around the house on his own. and mike shrinks inside joyce鈥檚 arms, as if she still was taller and bigger, enough to tower over him with that fierce and yet soothing presence and to shield him from the word in a way his mother never did or offered.
mike cries on joyce鈥檚 shoulder and joyce doesn鈥檛 tell him to stop, or to calm down, or to let it go. she lets him cry and holds him through his body shivering and his chest emptying on her shoulder. joyce listens and then when mike is breathing better and his eyes stop burning, she pulls away just enough to look at him in the eyes and tell him that she can鈥檛 be prouder of the person mike has become.
and mike can鈥檛 help but cry again. joyce takes him back into a hug and makes the rest of the world disappear from reach.
