Well damn, now I want to see line cook Eddie in a dive dinner who’s crusty to everyone but who also adds extra food when he sees a messy skinny teen/young adult alone.
yeah i got this & wrote a little thing bc i love line cook eddie being a told bitch but also the best guy ever. so crusty diner au with eddie & mox under the cut, guest staring ruby. eddie kingston may have been an iron worker for real but he has the soul of a line cook baby.
"Eddie!" Ruby called out to the line cook standing half in the rain out the backdoor. "I'm off. You sure you're good to run the joint alone?"
"Yeah, yeah." Eddie stepped back into the diner without putting out his cigarette. "It's two twenty in the morning. I'll be fine until Willow gets here at 5." Ruby grimaced at the mention of one of her least favorite coworkers. To be honest, Ruby only really liked Eddie.
"I don't like leaving you here all to yourself. You might burn the place down." Ruby pulled her hood up.
"Nah. I'll just break the health codes. Go on, and get, kid. You've got classes tomorrow, huh?" Eddie gave her a look. "You always stall when you have classes tomorrow."
"Shut up. Gimme a hug before I leave?" Ruby walked through the kitchen to give the cook his nightly goodbye hug. "I locked the far door. Only one register is up. New coffee brewed, and your prep is done. Don't need a new pack or anything before I leave?"
"Stop." Eddie groaned, not about the hug but Ruby's constant need to help him out. "Go home, Ru. Get some rest. I'll text you when I'm off."
"Fine." Ruby stared him down for a moment before reaching into her backpack to pull out a fresh pack of cigarettes for Eddie anyways. "You're my big brother. I got to make sure you're taken care of too."
"Thanks, Ru." Eddie took the offered pack with a smile. He had been nearly out.
Most nights in their small crusty diner weren't busy. They catered to overnight workers, and all night college students. It was the first few days back from a school break so business hand't picked back up. Their few regulars at this time were out of town or cutting back expenses leaving Eddie with hours of nothing in the middle of the night. Plus the storm. At least it meant his supporting staff could fuck off, and he could smoke weed in the store instead of the rain.
Ten minutes after Ruby left Eddie laid down on the diner's bar top, his hoodie bunched up under his head and one of his Tims resting on the spinning bar stool. The diner had a Bluetooth stereo that Eddie would hijack to play something enjoyable.
The diner door rang about halfway through Eddie's blunt, making him sit up way too quick for his bad back. The door opening let in the loud thunder and heavy sound of rain, Eddie couldn't believe someone was out in the storm. Let alone this skinny kid in a huge Carhartt jacket.
"Y'all open?" The kid started at Eddie, half sat up on the counter and blunt still in his mouth.
"Well," Eddie sighed as he started to get down. "I guess we fuckin' are."
"Sorry." The kid's voice was raspy and quiet, but deep. When he lowered his hood Eddie took in the messy mop of strawberry blonde hair sticking to his forehead. "Don't have to put that out for me though."
"Don't worry about it." Eddie shrugged. "What're you havin'?"
"Ain't you the line cook?" The blue eyes sized Eddie up. "You a waiter too?"
"I let the others get home before the storm was too bad. What're you gonna have?" Eddie pushed the menu across the counter top. The kid looked at the menu awkwardly before speaking up.
"Just coffee." He shrugged, sitting down across from Eddie.
"You came out in a storm to get coffee. Fuckin' alright." Eddie shook his head as he started serving up the coffee. The blunt was put on the saucer with the cup and slid over to the kid. "Gotta name?"
"Just like coffee." The intense blue eyes flickered over to Eddie before picking up the blunt. "Mox."
"Mox. Alright." Eddie grabbed an apron from under the counter and tossed it at Mox. "I gotta go do some shit in the back. Anyone else come in and serve them some coffee and shout for me."
"The fuck?" Mox frowned as he caught the apron. "Serious?" But he got no answer as Eddie went into the back.
Almost everything in the kitchen was turned off except one grill top and fryer that were on low. The kid wasn't too old, and if he was walking into this shit hole in the middle of a storm it meant he didn't have anywhere to go to keep safe.
A lot of folks that had nowhere to go ended up in the diner. This kid Mox probably couldn't even pay for his coffee. It didn't take long for him to get a double burger with cheese and fries going. Every so often Eddie peaked out the window to see the kid just napping on the counter top. Eddie was an asshole but he was also a big softy.
"Ay yo, no sleeping on the job, kid!" Eddie shouted as he came out of the double doors to set the burger down in front of him.
"Uh..." Mox sat up, his eyes on the food with a deep frown. "I didn't want nothin'." He said defensively.
"Nah? Well, I guess I just gotta toss this out, huh?" Eddie went to take the plate back but Mox grabbed his hand. "You don't gotta pay for it, kid. It's on the house for curing my boredom."
"Sure?" Mox looked untrusting but was pulling the plate closer to him. "No one gives me food."
"I ain't no one. I'm Eddie." He snatched the last of the blunt back from Mox. "Eat before I steal it from you. Wanna cigarette?"

the way i wish there could be more good faith analysis and fic about billy having adopted racial prejudice from his dad and then learning to properly recognize it and grow past it in order become a better person. i wish there was more posts and fics that tackle the bullshit lucas has had to deal with as a black kid in small town indiana because the duffers never even considered it. but the sheer puritan black and white thinking and performative activism or moral virtue signaling or whatever the fuck that is so pervasive in this fandom means that even the few posts and fics that dare to try and actually tackle racism tend turn it into either a punishment narrative, are depressingly shallow about it, make it about hating and liking the 'right characters', or miss the mark entirely
like i get it, homophobia/transphobia is easier to explore and talk about for most fans. it's complex and multi-layered just like other types of oppression, but so much of fandom is queer and dedicated to shipping and labels that yeah, i can see how talking about it is just. easier for a lot of ppl. also a lot of fandom is white. and lots of white gays get weird about discussing racism in their spaces. y'know the deal, but i digress. from what i can see, very few ppl want to explore how racism affects our favorite characters and the stories they live in. i know some ppl are probably afraid of getting it wrong, or they don't know anything about it and don't feel like they should. it's like, my blorbo is queer and so am i, so why wouldn't i talk all day about that? i get it. but it honestly just means a lot when someone tries earnestly. i have read beautiful fics about trans love through hardship by cis authors and such genuine fics about connection in the face of racism's poison by white authors.
there is just SO much untapped potential in exploring lucas and max and billy and patrick and argyle and all the other characters directly and indirectly affected by bigotry and racism within the narrative that never got the acknowledgement it deserved. plus it's super weird being used as a 'gotcha!' by white fans that hate billy (as if poc fans of billy aren't capable of seeing it for the bullshit it is) or seeing lucas' treatment in the show get brushed aside like it's nothing or how argyle gets sidelined an awful lot in the fandom (and don't even get me started on how messy the classism in this fandom can be, the borderline erasure of eddie's poverty and its effects on who he is as a person in fic is insane sometimes)
anyway. idk if any of this makes sense, but i can count like maybe 3 good fics and maybe a dozen good posts about billy that actually address this in good faith and only maybe a dozen more for every other character i mentioned. and i desperately want more. i am brown and queer and i want healing and love for all of these characters and i am going to have to start churning out more of it myself at this rate.

How Many seasons Evil Jay theories we have to create to any writer to make it happend for real
We have
Snake Evil (cause why not)
Nindroid (cyborg) Jay
Chen recruit
Pirate with family issues
Overlord-Jay
Ice emperor minion
Purple Lightning corr
Jay was Unagami
Or mister i lost my wife so i’ll lost my self LMAO
But only received twice a Brain washed magic that corrupted the rest of the Team as well, for them not even represent a menace in the plot.
OMG YES TO A L L OF THIS
Snake Jay but Evil is such a vibe tbh
CYBORG JAY I LOVE ROBOTS I LOVE NINDROIDS I LOVE CYBORGS AAAAAAAAAA please i love this so much
Chen recruit verrrrrry interesting :D normally I see Kai in this position but a Jay one would be fun (esp since he's always so tied to snakes)
PIRATE WITH FAMILY ISSEUSEUGSG YEAH that's just season 6 canon /j
Overlord Jay ooooh :O tbh the Overlord is an under-utilized villain by the fandom i think more people should have fucked up Overlord possession AUs
ICE EMPEROR MINION YES tbh the fic Ice Emperor and Earth Dragon kinda ruined my brain chemistry if I don't consume a new form of "Ice Emperor corrupts one of the ninja" concepts like every month I lose my mind, I love the Ice Emperor
Funny story about the purple lightning thing, I wanna storyboard that section of Seabound where Jay goes apeshit on Kalmaar but he gets struck by the purple lightning and gets extremely OP and proceeds to KICK KALMAAR'S ASS. Having it CORRUPT Jay tho hmmm,,,,,,,
JAY AS UNAGAMI CORRECT NO COMMENTARY NEEDED
literally i - okay okay okay okay i fully. before we got any crystalized info at all before we got the name and the poster and all that. i FULLY thought season 16 was gonna be jay being desperate and heartbroken and going to nadakhan to wish nya back and that would be the plot i was SO SURE. they set up the teapot for so long and i was like THIS IS IT THIS IS WHERE IT'S GONNA COME INTO PLAY. and then. that did not happen HGJKFDSHJGHDFHGDFSKJGF
as for the last one i'm assuming that happens in crystalized which i've only seen half of LMAOOOOO i'm too scared to watch the rest of it

I keep seeing those "character without trauma" depictions and they seem like fun but I can't really picture it for most of The Faves... I guess Arakawa would've stayed an actor and Mine would've stayed at his company (or who knows, maybe he would've pursued baseball instead to begin with), but other than that I'm coming up blank...
its hard to imagine traumaless depictions when A Good Portion Of Characteristics are a product of trauma tbf 👁️💋👁️
#snap chats#like even with daigo. sure his trauma might be considerably less severe compared to others#but even still his internalized loneliness and want for an Actual friend is a product of his childhood neglect and surroundings#trauma has a range like that going from things some people might be like 'oh well thats not THAT bad' to like.#walking in on your dad after he was shot 👀💋👀 i mean daigos dad was ALSO shot but at least he didnt have to see it--#jo might be the hardest to imagine. if thats what you were lowkey alluding to when it came to coming to a blank#at least with mine and arakawa- mine especially- we got to see them Somewhat have a normal life#mine esp like if he just learned to better communicated he wouldnt have a need to join the yakuza right#but with jo we never get even a lick of that#at most he was a construction worker but i mean.. p sure that was more of Needing to do it opposed to naturally going towards it yk#not that construction work is bad of course but we know what im saying its not exactly a lot of people's Top Five occupations#especially at 15 but anyway. im prattlin too long THIS IS WHAT I WAS SAYING DURIN STREAM YESTERDAY LMAO#I BE LIKE 'weh wah my hand hurt i hate typing' and then i type an essay in the tags#literally go outside i hate you <- @me#anyway. i forgot to say in my last bitching post that my mom also nicked my ear so thats fun#so now my ear hurts and theres a skin flap i wanna rip off thats great#ok that was more tmi than usual ima cut it here BYE

So I decided to read Cruel Prince because one of these popular book series has to be good and Holly Black wrote Spiderwick so I trust her more than other authors and I'm 100 pages in and so far I like the protagonist her and her sisters are all valid for the way they feel in this situation and I'm mad curious to find out why Cardan is so cruel and all that I guess

My mom works at a retirement home and has one resident who's family visits her all the time. But she forgets, so she constantly complains that no one visits her. My mom took a picture of her and her family to prove to the resident that they were literally there yesterday.
This is just really funny to me because I KNOW that's gonna be my grammy and dad when (or if) they get old. Even now, I will literally visit my dad for the weekend, and WHILE I'M THERE this bastard will be like "no one gives a shit about me, no one visits me" like DAMN OKAY I GUESS I JUST DON'T EXIST. THANKS DAD, LOVE YA. OR NOT, APPARENTLY
