stobin odd jobs please!!
@vthx @occasionaloverboy
stobin odd jobs!!!!!!!!! this is part of a ~group project~ led by @theheadlessphilosopher of stobin working a bunch of random jobs? lol my piece of it has them working a seasonal job in a lingerie shop together, because that was MY weird part time job when I was in college and I feel like it fits for them 😌
I don't actually have snippets to share for this one yet because right now the doc is just me dumping my brain onto the page, but it involves stobin and hellcheer as separate sets of roommates, Steve being ANNOYED that the manager of the lingerie shop wants him to work stock instead of on the floor, and steddie and buckingham getting together
I'd love to have it done to post in time for Valentine's Day? 🤞

i realize you won’t see this for a while since you just posted that you were taking a break, but just wanted to send some well wishes your way ❤️ i’m sorry to hear something went down re: the big bang (i don’t know the details but you don’t have to share), it was really one of my favorites!
❤️❤️❤️
i appreciate this 😭💙 it wasn't that anything Happened with the big bang, it was just a big emotional investment on my part and i didn't get the response i was hoping for. i typically don't invest that kind of time into my fics (relatively) because i don't want to feel attached to the outcome.
but, yeah. hundreds of hours and it doesn't seem like a lot of ppl ended up reading it, unfortunately! it really killed my steddie motivation for now so we'll see lol.
#vio answers#grimweathers#thank u tho#i really try not to look at/track stats but yeah that was a very noticeable one#ahh well!!

my art for @hereforanepilogue's big bang piece! it was a blast working together with them and @grimweathers!! read chapter 1 now!!
for the heart i once had
Steve gets his arms around Eddie, pins his wings to his back even as they flutter nervously. Eddie slumps against him, presses his face into the crook of Steve’s shoulder. He can feel Steve’s warmth through his clothes, so Eddie stays, even though it might be the worst place for Steve to let Kas press himself.
🗡
Months after Vecna is defeated, months after things should be back to normal, Eddie is still stuck. Kas’s influence lingers, and with nothing to do but wait, he turns to his friends and D&D to try and pull himself back to normality. But the more time goes on, the clearer it becomes that normal might not be an option anymore.

grimweathers please elaborate on the magicians: it is not good it is not bad but a secret third thing and i would like to know more.
i believe there is someone named quentin in it, who may not be the guy with the silly sidepart shoulderlength hair and i assume it is about magicians and feelings (this i picked up from the gifs you reblog from time to time)
is it about magicians? why do you like it? why do you think it's good? why do you think it's bad?
OH BOY. where do i even begin. cracks knuckles. this is going to be so, so long and not even cover everything. i could truly write like a million words about this and not get to everything probably.
there were 5 seasons of the show, and i loved it up until the s4 finale, where they Ruined Everything. SUPER long story short: bury your gays trope, very triggering suicide at the end of s4 after building up a theme of hope despite pain.
i did not watch s5 but i know it does not do anything to redeem the show lol.
the main character is quentin coldwater—he's a clinically depressed bi dude who has always and continues to struggle with suicide ideation. (the show literally opens with him in an institution). he discovers he has magic, he starts going to this magic grad school, and the show branches out from there. it gets pretty dark. (but it is also very, very funny).
in the beginning of s1, when quentin starts going to this school, another character tells him: "magic comes from pain." the whole show (up until the s4 finale) essentially works on subverting that statement—there is SO much pain, internally and externally; there are monstrous people and things in the world, but it's about finding hope despite that pain.
to me, as a queer person who has also struggled with suicide ideation for a long long time, this was a really really meaningful show! i love portal fantasy shows (they eventually leave this school and go to a magical world). i really saw myself in quentin for a variety of reasons even beyond the depression and the queerness. and so this show just had a lot of things that resonated with me AND it had this message of hope. (also—it was just a lot of fun too).
and then in the s4 finale, quentin commits suicide (framed as a "heroic sacrifice," but there is a whole scene in the afterlife where he questions whether he actually made the sacrifice because he's been wanting to die and maybe it was a good excuse to do so). and his death is permanent. (other characters had died and come back to life at this point, but it was made clear this death was Final final).
it came out of left field. before the episode aired, i did think he might die, but i certainly did not think it would be permanent. it was genuinely very triggering. this post says it better: https://grimweathers.tumblr.com/post/689090800065429504
there was just sooo much behind-the-scenes messiness and weirdness that happened afterwards, but the main thing that still stands out to me is the showrunners' reaction to the backlash. people were really devastated and hurt and confused but the showrunners were extremely callous about it. they had, up until that point, talked about how meaningful it was that so many fans related to quentin's mental health journey and that they felt seen. but with the backlash, suddenly they were acting like we were just silly fragile snowflakes who just couldn't handle an edgy show. they were very transparently annoyed that people weren't falling over themselves to praise them for killing quentin off this way. (before the finale aired, one of the showrunners had literally said that people were going to write ACADEMIC essays about what a great finale it was because of the ~complexity~ or whatever lmfao. he was especially butthurt about it all i think)
they weirdly somehow tried to frame killing quentin off as a Edgy But Woke move because, hey, they killed off the main white guy!! whoa!!! weird that you guys care so much about the white guy and not the female characters!! (who, by the way, the writers eventually completely maligned). but, like—for one thing, the writers are the ones who made this entire show revolve around him. there is a great cast, but so much of the overall theme of the show hinges on quentin's journey. of course fans are going to care about him? (and yet! they opened s5 with a VERY pointed scene about with a chauvinistic literal pig man whining "but i need a MAN to be the HERO!! only a MAN can SOLVE THIS QUEST" to a female character).
when people pointed out like, hey, yes he was a white guy, but he was also queer? he's not like. a generic straight white dude with no problems who's suddenly the chosen one. the writers tried to backpedal and say he was straight, actually; he just was experimenting (despite the explicitly romantic plot line where, in an alternate-but-not timeline, he falls in love with his male best friend AND HAS A FAMILY WITH HIM AND GROWS OLD WITH HIM???? many of the gifsets you see from me are from this storyline! you can VISIBLY SEE that they framed it very romantically even without the kissing! it is not just fan projection!) (there's also the fact that they had already trotted out hale appleman, the actor who plays said love interest, and is actually queer himself, to do an interview about how meaningful it was to have this explicitly queer storyline in this show) (he eventually did an interview where he says he felt his queerness was just used for pr).
there is so much. SOOOO much and i am not the best writer and it's been a long time since i watched the show (it really hurt me so bad that i have not been able to watch any of the show again since it aired) but i think that is the best overview i can do at the moment lol. i would recommend the second link (the one about the behind the scenes messiness) if you want more info but. yeah.
if you made it to the end, i applaud you lol!!

the seas be ours
[read chapter one on ao3]
Steve looks around himself at what’s clearly the belly of the ship. It’s large and well-maintained, and the barrels are organized and mostly sealed.
“What’s –” He focuses back on the man. “Who’s your boss? Why did he take me?”
The man plants a hand on his own chest. “Me,” he says. “I’m the boss, and I already told you why I took you.”
Steve eyes him up and down, then makes a face. “You’re the boss?”
“Eddie,” he says. Then he clears his throat, and in a lower voice, “The Dread Pirate Munson.”
Eddie The Dread Pirate Munson captures the Harrington heir with the intent of ransoming him back to his family for an easy payout. He really could not have guessed what he was getting himself into.

orchid, cactus, nutmeg!
orchid ⇢ what’s a song you consider to be perfect?
spent a summer obsessed with this album, and this song in particular - i'm biased, but i'm very sure that guitars are the best instrument ever invented, and tidiane thiam's style is absolutely fascinating.
cactus ⇢ something you’re currently learning (about)?
portland's weather patterns, for a project i'm doing at work in my free time on the way precipitation impacts transportation patterns. surprisingly interesting!
nutmeg ⇢ how’s your room/home decorated? do you have a specific theme or style going on?
due to my longstanding and deeply irrational fear that if i decorate any place i live i will trigger some kind of curse, i would describe the decorating as...uneven and cluttered. my room is, after 4 years, mostly resembling a bedroom though, after putting up the bookshelves and buying a papasan chair.

5 songs I’ve been listening to lately
Tagged by the beloveds @andropogonfalons and @grimweathers!
1. Lonely Dancers - Conan grey. So many albums I’ve been looking forward to actually were minor disappointments this spring, and then this album that wasnt on my radar at ALL dropped and knocked my head clean off. I love this whole album but this track is my fave.
2. Good luck babe - Chappell roan. I mean like I feel like a solid 75-80% of sapphics are in the same boat here right now it ain’t special
3. Sinner - the last dinner party. Giving me queer gothic maximalist pop the way I have been CRAVING it, they’re such a great band and it’s such a great album. Nothing Matters is also a contender for this list. But I wish I knew you before it felt like a sin? Banner line. Fucks incredibly.
4. How the Damage Gets Done - Hozier and Brandi Carlisle. The way I can’t get this song to leave me alone, Jesus. I just keep adding it to playlist after playlist with a resigned sigh.
5. II Most Wanted - Beyoncé and Miley Cyrus. The first love sapphic harmonies got to me okay. Tho some days I am straight up not strong enough to listen to it so grain of salt I guess.
The new albums by Maggie Rogers and Waxahatchee are also in HEAVY rotation but no one standout on these albums to pull from I think.
I TAG! @aidaronan @slothy-girl @jjoesjonas @greenlikethesea @therestlessdead @softbrah

Steve gets his arms around Eddie, pins his wings to his back even as they flutter nervously. Eddie slumps against him, presses his face into the crook of Steve’s shoulder. He can feel Steve’s warmth through his clothes, so Eddie stays, even thought it might be the worst place for Steve to let Kas press himself.
🗡
Months after Vecna is defeated, months after things should be back to normal, Eddie is still stuck. Kas’s influence lingers, and with nothing to do but wait, he turns to his friends and D&D to try and pull himself back into normality. But the more time goes on, the clearer it becomes that normal might not be an option anymore.
