It's 2023 and I'm still hoping my favorite Beatles fan fics get surprise updates this year 😭

#sometimes i try to read A Book #and im like Ok but kathleenishereagain could do it better #or this aint got NOTHIN on Imagine Beatles #i be like this is cute but they should read The Ballad of Lennon and McCartney by please dont wake me #im SO serious #some of you are the most gifted writers i have had the pleasure of reading #im humbled by your passion and skill #i think this OFTEN #usually its me feeling the need to reread art and obligation #this time i was shook with the desire to read Ten Minutes #both are so surprisingly complex in their relationship arcs that i hope to all that is holy one day they are finished #i cannot wait to read how they end #they are GUT wrenching

I'm not a writer but i had this thought so- bear with me, yeah?

For months Eddie hears all about how cool and badass Steve Harrington is, yeah, but you know what he also hears about? How Steve and Robin are made for each other and how cool and pretty Robin is and how stupid it is that they're not a couple for some dumb reason, like Steve not wanting to be with a band geek and still clinging to high school hierarchy. And in all of the things Dustin says about Steeeve Harrington, that last part is the only thing that fits into the Munson Doctrine, so obviously everything else Henderson is saying is what's skewed in his little shrimp world view.

Steve Harrington thinks he's better than a band geek and that's why we won't look twice at a girl that would be perfect for him (according to Dustin Henderson, so... still questionably trustworthy information). Eddie probably assumes Dustin is talking up how close Steve and Robin actually are, just how he's exaggerating how close Dustin himself is to Harrington (like that would impress Eddie and the rest of Hellfire??? He really doesn't know how to get through to the little sheep that his worship of Hawkins' most notorious square is a detriment to his character and not something Eddie would find impressive. If it was real. Which it obviously isn't. Anyway-)

Turns out? Steve Harrington? Actually a cool dude. Not cool as in popular but cool as in "holy shit did he just bite that thing's head off???? Oh and he's not even gonna brag about that, it's just nbd, yeah sure, cool cool cool be fucking cool Eddie, oh god he's talking to me why is he talking to me" and just, chill to hang out with. After the whole shit show went down. Who would have fucking thought, huh? (except for Dustin Henderson, yeah yeah yeah, shut up)

So now Eddie has to reevaluate some other assumptions he made. Maybe Dustin was right and Steve actually is cool and badass, and he and Buckley actually are as close as he had said (and they really fucking are! He has seen them give Keith eerily matching bitchy looks for trying to schedule them on opposing shifts and basically bully the guy into changing the schedule around so they can spend as much time as possible in each other's presence. It's enough to make a guy question his own friendships when sometimes a few hours of band practice are enough to make him want to never see any of those chucklefucks again. Of course, that feeling abates but seriously, how are those two never sick of each other??)

So if they're as close as advertised but not a couple (and after meeting everyone Steve cares about and they're basically all nerds so the "Harrington thinks he's too good for a band geek" thing can't actually hold true-) what is the hold-up? Why aren't they a couple? And somehow, somehow Eddie comes to the conclusion that Steve is in love with Robin. Steve is a serial romantic (emphasis on romantic) and while his love life isn't the talk of the town post-earthquakes as it would have been before, people do still talk about the fact that he hasn't taken out a girl since it happened.

Which brings us to a day in summer, maybe fall, after Eddie has seen Steve look wistfully at a young couple with a baby, that he shows up at Robin's door step.

"Eddie? Hey what's up?"

"Good, good, how are you? Uhh can I... can I come in?" There's a nervous energy around him that is immediately infectious and she leads him to the living room where he immediately starts walking back and forth in front of the couch. She watches him for a moment, hands fluttering through different motions trying to find one that might calm him down before giving up on that. Instead Robin swerves around him, clambering onto the couch and wrapping her arms around her right leg, putting her head on her knee. She follows Eddie's path with her eyes and decides to wait before quickly realizing that she can't, actually.

"As riveting as it is watching you walk a groove into my parents' rug, do you maybe want to say something? I mean I can definitely talk enough for the both if us if that's what you want it's just that I have the slight suspicion you've got something you need to get off your chest" Eddie stopped walking halfway through her monologue and starts nodding.

"Yeah. Yeah yeah yes you're right it's just- I haven't a hundred percent made up my mind about saying something", Eddie has one arm wrapped around himself and uses the other to alternately play with his hair and gesticulate at her, "because on the one hand it's a little bit driving me crazy, maybe, but on the other hand this is none of my fucking business" And Robin who was worried at first just because Eddie is nervous, then for a second because she was scared he was going to confess to a very ill-advised crush on her, is stumped. What the fuck is this about and why did it bring him to her of all people?

"Just say it you weirdo", is what decides to comes out of her mouth but it doesn't even matter because half of her sentence is layered with his "Are you aware Steve is in love with you?"

[here we're facing the issue of me not actually being a writer and pretty much running out of steam but we also haven't reached the part that sparked this whole thing yet, which is wild - let's just pretend I wrote a very funny dialogue between those two in which Eddie confronts Robin for stringing poor Steve along ]

There's a moment when they're both silent and there's a moment when they're both talking and then there are steps coming down the stairs. They make a smirk grow on Robin's face that is starting to worry Eddie when not a parental figure but Steve Harrington steps through the doorway. He's wearing sweatpants and a shirt that might be Robin's and there's a headband pushing his hair away from his face.

"Don't yell at me for coming downstairs, you took forever and the first layer... is... dry....", he stops in his tracks the moment he looks up from his bare toes and sees Eddie. Then he very quickly rips off the headband and slings it somewhere to his right into the unknown of the hallway.

"Hi Eddie. What's... up" Eddie is going to sink into the floor and never come up for air again.

In the meantime Robin stood up on the couch to sit cross-legged on the back of it for a better vantage point and is steepling her fingers in front of her face. Eddie is getting the distinct impression he's missing some crucial information here.

"Stevie, babe, platonic love of my life-", Steve nods for her to go on, "you know how we decided I get a veto on your romantic life because we realized droves of suboptimal dates actually make you miserable so we're going for quality over quanity for the first time in your small-town Casanova life?" Steve has that cute little crease between his eyebrows while he's looking back and forth between Eddie and Robin, trying to figure out what's going on but he rolls his eyes at the end of her sentence, back in familiar territory. "Yes, Robin-"

She interrupts: "And you know how I also reserved the right to give a shovel slash molotov cocktail talk to anyone we deemed worthy of being a potential future partner?" Steve's face somehow shows an emotion that can only be encapsulated by "?!" as he glances to Eddie before shifting back to Robin with just the "?" remaining.

"First I have to say I'm personally very pro, I loved this experience; Eddie here really made a fool of himself, very worried for your delicate sensibilities and how I'm breaking your sweet little heart." "...what...?"

"So: what's the verdict on a potential future partner giving me the shovel talk?"

#Robin had painted 7 of Steve toes when Eddie rang the doorbell btw #they're a dark blue because Steve didn't want to jump into the deep end with too feminine a color #but black felt too edgy #but while they were drying and on the way down he kept looking at them and thinking #''i don't think this is my color... maybe a light blue? no too baby boy. yellow? nah that's ugly. orange? wait maybe with a stripe?#can nails be striped...?'' so when he arrived downstairs he was starting to worry he had never looked at a girl's nails because he didn't #know and whether that was sexist somehow #he had to shift gears very quickly when he arrived downstairs is what i'm saying #anyway i cannot stress enough how much i am not a writer #but the thing with the reverse shovel talk came to me and it wanted out #platonic stobin #steddie fic #steddie #hey i'm talkin' here #robin buckley #steve harrington #eddie munson #not beta read #top posts

i need to talk about this because apparently i have been delusional ALL my life.

tonight, i joined a watch party where we watched rise of the guardians. i have only seen this movie once in my childhood, and no other times after that. all i remember is liking it, and a few twists. like jack frost being dead etc.

one of the twist i remember was the first twist of that kind id ever witnessed, and it broke me as a kid. it was with the sandman.

basically the sandman dies, they all mourn him for the whole movie, etc. towards the almost ending point of the movie jack goes to the main room with the globe and is seeing it failing. he then sees dust or something?? i don’t remember. and realizes that it’s the sandman. and the sandman appears behind him being revealed as a traitor and jack is all heartbroken etc, because his dead friend is alive, and tricked them the whole time.

the sandman talks basically about how like nobody gives a fuck about the sandman, and the bogeyman was right. etc. this was like the biggest plot twist to me as a child, it stuck with me so much the imagery, the scene, the sadness i felt. for like YEARS, i hated the sandman 🦧 i’d see him in promo and go, “oh yeah the dude that betrayed the other guy.”

i rewatched it tonight. THAT SCENE NEVER HAPPENED. THE SANDMAN NEVER BETRAYED ANYONE, I JUST MADE IT UP. i feel lied to by myself, like the memory is so vivid it’s odd 😭😭 like i hated this tiny sandman for actually years just for him to be a silly little guy 😭😭 what was up with that past megan.

#im convinced i watched it when i was sick and just dreamt that part up as a kid LMAO #the ending scene where he saves the kids and comes back to life i remember being his redemption #like???#the heartbreak i felt when he died and then the worse it got when i realized he was a traitor is such a core memory #i cannot believe i fabricated that for like 10+ years 🦧#i hope you know the whole watch party everyone was talking about how much they love him and i was like “😈” waiting for the nonexistent plot #twist to get them #if anyone actually read this ily #meg’s incoherent thoughts #<- truly a fitting tag this time #rise of the guardians

Mike verbally confirming that bc it's Will's pov we just aren't seeing mike looking at him. He looks at him, oh, he looks at him all the time, he notices everything about Will. That he's moping that he's rolling his eyes that he wasn't talking (that he was ignoring him) and that ruined his entire day. He looks at Will, Will just doesn't see him. So we don't either.

#lack of mike pov literally going to put me six feet under #st5 i am waiting PATIENTLY #because will's an unreliable narrator we are missing key parts of mike as a whole character which is WHY he seems so shallow #ruined his entire day*#*said after his gf was publicly harassed #mike let me inside ur head i swear i will clean up after im done #mike wheeler #byler #byeler #will byers #stranger things #mike wheeler is gay #i love slowburns except when i dont #quite literally exactly like that time i read an extreme slowburn & when i finished it there was only one chapter left to be uploaded-#-and the main character STILL HADNT SAID I LOVE YOU #YOU CANNOT IMAGINE HOW FRUSTRATED I WAS BC THEY STARTED OUT ALREADY IN LOVE THEY WERE JUST TORTURED FOR 40 CHAPTERS #have to spend my time inside the head of this dumbass who refused to confess and also somehow is too stupid to see that they love u back #anyway yeah thats what this feels like. like im one chapter away from the end #technically were like 8 chapters from the end but thats irrelevant to my metaphor

words of radiance is wayyyy more ambiguous than most people remember it being. tbh.

#like i understand how a lot of us came away thinking it came to a conclusion about the morality of violence because KALADIN came to one #but the whole POINT of kaladin’s choice was how intensely personal it was. AND!! and. personally i read a lot of mutual respect #into the kaladin and moash scene near the end. its two friends who cannot come to an agreement on the Right path forward who end up opposed #anyway wait i have a post about why i was more okay with kaladin’s sympathy with elhokar this time around. wait.#wor i do still think is flawed and i disagree with it in many many places especially!!! about elhokar but well. i liked it better this time

kinda eating drywall abt the karlsson trade but it is what it is

i consider it a win in that i didn't lose nick cicek in the trade honestly, which probably says intensely worrisome things about my priorities in the sharks org AND my perception of nick cicek's trade value but. yeah no we got fleeced not only by pittsburgh's most eligible president of hockey ops slash gm AND kent hughes, which is an ego blow on unforeseen and sloppy levels. like my mom could sell me to kyle dubas and i'd be like fine, whatever, but mike grier is a whole ass nhl gm. he should have protective charms in place against that man so i gotta ask. i gotta ask. mikey you good. you good babe??? you need some electrolytes???

congrats to sid crosby for adding another boytoy to his dman harem tho. personally cannot wait to see what happens when karly (mean cat), tanger (evil cat), and gravy (anxious greyhound) get in the same locker room. the sparks...they're flyin

my experience with percy jackson is kinda funny in hindsight because reading the first book for the first time i was like 'no way...thalia mentioned!!!!'

#the fool speaks #for clarity - i read the third??? book in elementary school before the others because i needed to get a higher reading level book from #another class and was very shy so they just asked if i wanted percy jackson and handed me the third??? book. it was. as you may have guesse #a tad confusing #and my memory of it is not great thalia was the only character i could really remember. i guess apart from The Percy Jackson.#so anytime they'd talk about the tree and thalia i was like I Know That Tree. I Know That Name #i always wanted to actually read the series from the beginning but never got around to it because a girl in church talked about #how she couldnt even read it anymore because of the gay character #now i am gay and finally reading again! its fun! i love being a nerd again!#(yes i cannot wait to meet nico for real LMAO)#Anyways i finished the first book! love how percy's adhd was portrayed! im going to pick up the second one from my library soonish #if it's in. but i have two books ahead of it an im torn on which book i should read #my heart wants to continue percy jackson but i probably should be getting started on one of these two...#one of them is probably mid at best though T_T #also i do want to watch the movies now that i have read the book so i can understand just why it was disliked. i cannot remember the #movie that well either. the first half of the book seemed pretty similar to what i remembered. the ending was definitely different #i assume thats the majority of the issue? but as i said. cannot remember it that well.

it really is ruan mei time for real soon i am So hype to finally get her 🥰 and like. for her character too? i genuinely wasnt expecting this kinda like. actually somewhat unnerving (but based) coldness to her that the myriad celestia + her trailer ended up showing of her and i love love love how her ambition and view of the world and herself far surpasses just the generic wow pretty science lady deal that i was honestly expecting the writing to settle for. like shes soooo autism to me but also just actually insane scientist moment and i for one cannot Wait to personally excuse every single even slightly dubious deed ruan mei commits on her path towards the goal of literal fucking aeon-hood 🫡 its what she deserves

#also like. idk. something about that alienation in the myriad celestia really just speaks to me personally #and i really hope there isnt some surprise gap moe waiting behind a corner somewhere bc #i REALLY want her to be exactly as cold as she appears in the teasers so far. like #yes ik its meant to set up her ambition and how she might end up genuinely antagonistic to us and all #to read as uneasy and discomforting. but like shit man thats just... relatable to me #seeing comments online expressing how scary and alien she appears to ppl and im sitting there like thats her autism????? 😭😭#anyway cannot wait to see her schemes and experiments. we stan #hsr #rambles

Finally getting around to reading The Goose Girl and oh my GOSH Ani is the female protagonist I needed please let her stay a bit shy and awkward please and thank you

#I’m living for the fact that she is socially awkward but she isn’t not feminine??? heck yeah!!!#also this is me completely giving up on stellarlune ladies and gents I cannot do it #no joke I skipped half of it on a whim and after a couple sentences for context was not lost at all. yikes.#I don’t know if I’ve just grown out of them or if the quality has actually gotten worse? I don’t know #because typically I’m capable of shutting my brain off and reading something not meant for my age group #I do that all the time no problem #I don’t know what it is with KOTLC all of a sudden??#maybe it’s the complete lack of subtext #EVERYTHING is spelled out for the reader #even if another character does something with a little bit of subtext (like Keefe flirting) the narration or Sophie explicitly calls it out #and goes ‘now WHAT could he mean by that?? could he be talking about HER???’ and therefore it is no longer subtext #I feel like this wasn’t an issue earlier on? I don’t know #also the one-sentence paragraphs for emphasis irk me to no end #but wait hold on that was a complete detour all of this to say the goose girl is a breath of fresh air (and giving me a lot of ideas for #how to spell eternity!)

folks i made art for @scorpionoesit’s vagabonds fic. it is a very good fic and you all should read it if you haven’t already.

anyway, ranting aside,,,, the art!!

click for better quality,,,,, reblogs > likes!!

i feel like the rooftop itself could be better(it is. very empty,, dkdnkd),, as well as the poses,, and the background is.. eh,,, but i like everything else about it!!

and that’s not all i have! made a couple little extra doodles,, putting them under the cut!! hope you all enjoy!!
