I swear if i see one more mf say izzy has been 'redeemed' or needed a 'redemption arc' im literally going to scream into my pillow until i lose my voice.
redeem is such a black and white way of looking at his entire character and dismisses everything hes gone through and yall (izzy haters and others) are just so fucking snob nosed and ignorant to sit there and think hes a villain because of how he acted. theyre fucking pirates. theyre not perfect, none of them are. eds a villain, stedes a villain, if youre doing it like that. ed has killed so many people, stede literally left his wife and kids and also had a hand in killing people; it may be easier for them to change because of the perspective the show gives them and they had love but izzy did not. everyone hated him, ed, his own crew, stedes crew.
normalizing peoples reactions to things as something other than villainy and heroism is so god damn important in a show that's trying to accurately involve our perspectives in this day and age. its a tale as old as time, making someone 'completely in the wrong' because their perspective isnt the one you aligned with as much.
like the rest of the crew izzy had his own bad things hes done, he didnt need this 'redemption' everyones blabbering on about. he needed to be fucking heard, to be seen, and acknowledged-- not thrown aside and abandoned because of a whim. you all can ride up blackbeards ass because oh hes so hot, hes so pretty omg wow; but that wont ever change the fact his character is a fucked up person... youre allowed to love him anyways, why not izzy? we didnt see blackbeard before screen but how hes mentioned it shows he was a shit awful person, the only reason no one cares is because on hes fuckin gay for stede or whatever so the main characters get a free ride. ( i agree they all get a free ride, im just tired of this izzy isolation man )
why does he need to be redeemed in your eyes? just because youve seen what hes done? he was literally a product of his environment in season one he was a product of blackbeard's leadership. only with the loyalty and solidarity of the crew did he really begin to find himself, thats fucking hard to do that late in life. instead of calling it some bullshit black and white redemption arc, lets just celebrate izzy being himself and being fucking loved for once in his god damn life.
hes also way more fucking mature and put together than people give him credit for. love you izzy.
edit: thank you all for the reblogs and insights in every single one, i read them i promise i do. im just so mf heartbroken we have to tag things as discourse when its really just about people not being compassionate. (as a couple people have pointed out) i will said id reblog and comment on every single tag but this is my side </3 EVERYONE PLEASE READ THE REBLOGGED TAGS TOO / / theyre so real ! ive also opened up that ask box thingy i havent been on tumblr in yrs and have 0 clue how any of that works if anyone wants my perspective on anything izzy related. *or otherwise ofmd related
#izzy hands#israel hands#our flag means death#our flag means death spoilers#ofmd#ofmd season 2#ofmd spoilers#cont rant#i just got really passionate dude i cant#im tryna sit here and scroll through tiktok and its fkn#redeem this redeem that#he was FINE; he just didnt respond to change the same way you do#normalize every form of expression even if it doesnt fit your mamby pamby shy baby lifestyle#he did nothing wrong#mf hypocrites i say

something about how nix could probably easily pick up, play just about any instrument (but the way he's an sucker for electric guitar+bass and would roll his eyes if asked about if he can play piano) he loves music and appreciates everything but he very much favors guitars
*not so much acoustic but it's also in the category of what he can be caught messing around with*
#<< falling apart at the seams i cant deny >> headcanons#(it might also be due to noise levels- like the sound waves and filling of the air is more potent with such instruments+ with an amp)#(i've got the nix adoring music brain rot right now)#(him rocking out? dude bouncing around and preforming his own music is *chefs kiss*)#(i can really dive into his passion for it cuz im such an music lover lmao)#(which- d.ominion nix rocking out to angels by v.icetone? it's totally an brain rot image)#(moody angel channeling shit into songs- dancing around while singing his heart out)#(am tempted to write an starter cuz the Vibez)#(it very much gives abandonment issues and fuck this shit vibes)#('oh god i'm going insane- chasing after you please dont leave me')#('i see your heart washing away')#('but now the tables turn- apocalypse is coming')#('i learned it rains in hell and angels could be bad')#(*just gestures at those lyrics* !!!!)#(bonus image: one of his siblings happen upon it and *angst potential overall*)

thinking abt bllk (no surprise there) and how (at least until now) all (well, most of?) the characters backstories aka basically the reason for their most prominent issues are, instead of extremely tragic and complex events, simply children's logic applied to recurrent situations in their daily lives (and especially the sport they love):
bachira feels lonely: bachira was a weird and lonely kid who was also extremely passionate abt (and talented in) football, more than any other kid, making bachira feel isolated even when he was playing with others. this got even worse when the kids he played with started to resent him, calling him a "monster" and bullying him. while talking with his mom, she told him to keep believing in his inner voice and ignore those who dont understand him, resulting in bachira giving that voice the form of a "monster" that can play football with him to feel less lonely. which, obviously, made him even more lonely, even if it was an imaginary friend created to aliviate that feeling. because bachira still felt lonely, even after many years and even after playing with other people in school who werent any fun for him, he kept the monster by his side. believing no one could ever beat this monster (thank GODNESS he did 🎉!!! HE is the monster no one can beat!!!! his arc is one of my favs hes literally unstoppable now, i love him dude i love h)
isagi holds himself back too much: isagi (i read the light novel abt him hehe) was a timid and mild mannered kid until he discovered football, which he fell in love with. while playing the sport he could let go of his shyness and actually be selfish and go all out. uuuntil... he entered his high school's reputable football club, where the motto was to play as a team above everything else (a very anti-blue lock logic lol). isagi then, in an effort to accomodate to the social norms of the club (bc hes isagi, and off the field hes calmer and timider), had to simmer down in the field as well. supress himself. at times it seems like his on and off switch is kind of stuck.
barou has main character syndrome: barou was a very, on top of talented, meticulous kid and therefore the best in football out of every other kid he knew, who didnt take it as seriously and were more than happy to let him score all the goals. he didnt understand why they were satisfied with letting other people take all the glory, so he secluded himself, convinced that he was the only player that actually mattered on the field. the best. the Main Character. everyone else was completely worthless, their only use being to serve HIM. (until he got his ass kicked by isagi and became the villan instead of the main character, bc oh, shit, barou's not actually the main character???? then he'll hunt down & DESTROY the main character).
rin (god, rin) has a brother complex (i used to hate when ppl oversimplify whats wrong w him w this term but tbh it does boil down to this lol ToT): rin idolized his older brother like crazy and wanted to be just like him. bc he was also blessed with talent and also had a great relationship w sae, he had everything he needed to fulfill his dream of being the 2nd best striker, the 1st obviously being his older brother, who rin viewed as the best, most talented player in the world. when sae comes back from spain and tells him 'the world is big and im not actually the best, you go and be the best striker by yourself' (basically: our (your) dream is over), rin has a fucking breakdown. its not really a tragic, despair-inducing event, objectively speaking. but in the manga its framed as such bc for rin, in his childish logic, it is. bc his brother IS the BEST player, what the fuck do you mean hes not number 1 outside of japan?? ....then what about rin? if his brother cant be the best, rin cant be the 2nd best either, let alone the best. he feels like sae ruined everything, gave up, broke their (rin's) dream!!!! after sae humilliates him, rin directs all of his frustrations at him and bows to defeat him. as long as rin sees himself as sae's little brother, he's never gonna be able to surpass him, bc in rin's mind, sae is still the best, his talented big brother.
ness believes kaiser, not him, is the magician: ness's case is more serious bc his family was (is?) emotionally abusive towards him. basically, like every other kid, ness believed in magic. the concept of magic is exciting for children and gives them, in the form of play, the opportunity to express their creativity and exercise their imagination; work out a way to make the impossible come true. bc this is so important for their development, usually its the parents role to, at least to a certain degree, keep alive the belief that magic is real. ness's parents, on the contrary, shut down this belief bc it didnt match with their own views. they saw his interests as a waste of time, even letting his sibilings bully him and treat him badly to make him give up on them. ness, however, didnt, and instead found a more socially acceptable way to 'do magic' and express his creativity: football. he feared greatly, however, that football would be taken away from him, so in that faithful match in which he met kaiser he decided to put all of his trust and hard work on him, bc ness believed kaiser was the person who would be able to make the impossible, the magic that ness wanted to create, happen. i think the key to unlock his full potential is stop relying on kaiser so much and start believing in his own magic (kind of like what happened in hiori's arc). we have yet to know kaiser's backstory but i have a feeling those two enable each other's worst traits...
ETC !!!! sorry i got tired of writing lol
anyways these r just my interpretations of the characters feel free 2 b like "was is she ON about"
#bachira and barou went thru character development and got over these issues vía isagi being a freak as usual. chigiri and hiori too#nagi is In Process and everyone else is having a miserable time#i thinkkk. im just writing whatever comes 2 mind atm#THE QUESTION IS against WHO will isagi go ALL OUT 100% BERSERK?????? my bet is rin. PERHAPS kaiser.#blue lock#di4ry

You say, "I want to be your girlfriend"
It wasn't really in my plans
taken aback by your sudden confession he simply said " sure why not, i'll give you a chance " his hands inside his pockets while observing every action you do.
the way you fiddle with your hands, bottom lip being bit and your eyes that wander everywhere but his eyes.
When you're around, I got arrhythmia
So in the end, I play pretend
he didn't really pay you any mind at first, but when you confessed his eyes linger around you now. everytime there's a fight he looks over to your area. oh there's some dude who's about to attack you from behind? here comes mikey saving you and reminding you to also mind enemies from behind then immediately running off to fight more dudes.
You've got the (uh) of a cool dude
But you should know I like it hot
to be frank you weren't his type. he prefers someone who isn't in the world of delinquents. the polar opposite of the girl he wants
But if there's really no denying what this is
Then come on, let's give it a shot (can you hear me?)
but damn he admits you have a very cool personality that he finds himself accidentally attracted to.
Well, I know
he knows you're trying to win him over, everyone notices in your division that you were more motivated, more strong, more energized to beat someone up in fights.
Well, it all depends
You say, "I want to be your girlfriend"
But do you want to be my man?
not only is he looking for a potential relationship but he wants someone who he can be his lover and his bestfriend at the same time. well aren't you a perfect candidate for that he thinks. You both are delinquents so you will understand his late night rendezvous and his passion for his gang
I'll treat you like you are a carry on
Like you're my one and only fan
My kindness is of a false pretense
I've got the ego of a God
come one you've gotta understand, he likes attention you're giving him. the way your cheeks blush when you find him only to see him already looking at you. or instances where you're wounded at a fight and he gives you a band aid which you will accept with shaky hands. there was also this time where he invited to let you ride with him to the shrine and he's smirking to himself because he knows you used this as an opportunity to hug him.
But if you take me in your arms
Be confident
I commit a character fraud
Stop, stop, stop
now is his time to be taken aback. you asked him on a date then he just found himself wanting to hold your hand??? he didn't see this coming. really, he swear this is his first time being so fired up for a prize at this stupid crane game and he really spent good money just to give it to you. he cant believe saying that your smile was enough and you don't need to repay him. he was dumbfounded so bad he just stood there all shocked. at the end of the date when he rode you back home, he told you " i had fun today, even though we didn't get to ride the ferris wheel because that line is so damn long " earning a little giggle from you that made him stop his stomping and sighing. were you this pretty before? i didn't know you could be this girly. i mean no offense y/n but you look so cute in your dress and your perfume and your hair and yo— he still have composure of himself. " well i'll be going now, good night y/n " you nodded at him and waved. he was about to joke about getting a kiss or even a hug but his thoughts were stopped when you pulled him in a hug. " good night and see you the next meeting, leader. " and gave him a peck on his cheeks.

Hello! I just joined the Band of Brothers fandom and my favourite character is Speirs. If you still accepting requests may I ask something for jelous Speirs? Maybe he got jelous his love interest from other company boys?
yes ofc thank you for your request! (i’m going to put it as Hc’s but if you want a one shot or imagine of this just lemme know!!!)
Speirs being Jealous
genre! Angst, romance
warnings! a tiny bit of angst, jealousy (ofc)
description! Speirs being jealous, that’s it. That’s the post.
He’s a pretty cold dude, and it takes a lot to set him off
but he gets so fired up and passionate when it comes to you
so when he gets jealous it’s intense
Very sexy, but intense
I mean, he’s not going to tell you or anything, much less show any expression on his face
I mean, if you’re coming home to him at night, how can he really get mad at you?
but when someone makes a move on you he can get pretty pissy (again, not at you but at the person doing it)
Especially when one of the easy boys try to flirt with you
If he could, he’d beat them up for staring
but he cant
so he’ll resort to giving them a death stare
If he feels the need, he will confront them too. (only if it’s really bad tho)
but he won’t go out of his way to give the other guy problems.
But I think that he will take it serious if you betray his trust and go flirt back with another guy or something
He’ll think about it and put the situation into perspective just to figure his emotions out
but he might just ignore it til it goes away.
IF it doesn’t, he’ll communicate his feelings to you and he will expect you to do the same.
he DOES NOT appreciate it if you dance around the issue, he just wants to get it solved so that you guys don’t have problems.
Thanks for your request! Hope you enjoyed!! 💗💗

heyy dude i’m watching ur podcast video rn and i saw some of ur posts about it can you please go more into detail about ur thoughts on this charming man and byler cus i feel like i’ve been screaming into the void about the smiths LMAO. i didn’t really get it w this charming man but i wanna see what you think 🙏
okay so im guessing youre asking for an explanation on this charming man & dont worry i have also been screaming the smiths into the void lately. okay so my thing with this charming man is like, it doesnt fit entirely into the perspective of either will or mike but there are certain parts that i think are just so fucking byler. i think mainly the admiration that the speaker has for the charming man is what really sells it for me; it is very very clear in the song that the speaker has a real deep & passionate admiration for him (& maybe even a crush but i dont think morrissey is ready for that talk yet & also, as a jewish person, he can go to hell.)
we got the first verse & ough DOGGIE this one is real byler coded. "puncture bicycle on the hill side desolate" could be a lot of things but the specific bicycle imagery sticks out to me a lot for obvious reasons i'm sure, originally thinking i was going to talk about how the lyric could parallel the swing set meeting since mike too in a way was left stranded looking for help during that moment before he went up to will,
BUT, i think it fits in even better when you consider will's absence from hawkins. "punctured bicycle on the hill side desolate" could also be imagery of will's bike, because god knows where it is now, & mike is seeing it just in complete misery.
the next line "will nature make a man of me yet?" okay when i tell you i have an interpretation for this one i MEAN IT. nature, in this line pretty obviously, refers to forces beyond one's control, & i once again think this is coming from mike's perspective (thought it could be easily applied to will's). okay hold onto your horses because this one is the wildest in the west
"will nature make a man of me yet?" – mike wheeler's internalized homophobia makes him unable to view himself as a real "man." by the forces of nature taking will away from him, perhaps he views this as a way of the universe trying to make him "man up" or whatever. i know that one makes me giggle so much. it hits harder if you think about it in terms of mike's obliviousness because ough thats so good, but it also can apply to will in the same way now that he's been separated from mike. but im sorry from mikes perspective it hits so much harder
OKAY now we're moving to will's territory. the next line i want to talk about is "why pamper life's complexity when the leather runs smooth on the passenger seat?" a big theme in this charming man is how the charming man is of a very higher class than the speaker, which can definitely be said about will & mike. so, this could be explaining will talking about how mike's situation is different than his, i have a deeper better explanation,
i think this line could refer to "why think about all the fucking shitty things ever when mike is so great." it's super implied in the show that mike & will always turn to each other when theyre going through a rough period, or that mike is always protective of will/wants to make sure that he's okay, so i think this may be will talking about why he should deal with the outside world, in terms of trauma or homophobia or whatever, when he can just chill out with mike & not have to worry about all that
okay, so. i don't want to talk about the "i would go out tonight" line because i don't really think it applies here & that's okay. but what i WILL go over next is the "this man said, 'it's gruesome, that someone so handsome should care,' " line because all i can think of when i see this scene is in s4 when mike & will are burying the body in the desert & will cant help himself but stare at mike. it's probably really "gruesome" (fucking AUGHHHH terrible) that someone as handsome as mike should care about him & his problems when he thinks that the probability of them getting together really sucks. even though his personality is great too, mike is a very good looking guy i will say myself & i have also thought this since i was a youngin. so the way that he is just so beautiful to will & also to anyone with eyes makes it even worse to be pining over him because god, he's just so fucking pretty?
"jumped up pantry boy, who never knew his place" once again talking about the difference in class between the speaker & the charming man. though i wouldn't go as far to describe will as a pantry boy. but guess what? will never knew his place until after he found mike.
okay finally the last two lines of the chorus but i analyze them out of order;
the "he knows so much about these things" is like OUGH that is VAN SCENE BEHAVIOR. i could 100000% see mike going "will knows so much about these problems i have & exactly how to fix them" or whatever, & in a metaphorical way you could make the argument that will is trying to communicate something along the lines of "return the ring" but trying to get a 1:1 match for that line is a bit tricky & a lot of a stretch since will is trying to convince mike to go for it, BUT what im trying to get at is that the line could parallel how will is giving love advice to mike in the same way that the charming man does to the speaker, & the speaker is as entranced with the charming man as mike is with will
I HOPE THIS ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION! i should really organize this into a manifesto or something

its 🏳️🌈 anon here im on vacation so im gonna tell this pent up frustration cause i cant jerk off huhu (gonna make it gay and i cant write so sorry)
a. part time gym trainer college student sungchan surprised that his classmate/crush walk into his gym and having to touch his crush because hes in love with a twink that has never hold a weight before. it ends with a drink or dare where his crush dared sungchan to do push ups and every push up he tries to say his crush's name and after he did it 20 times sungchan dares his crush to do crunches while moaning his name for 20 times
"come on yn u could do more than 5" sungchan said holding your legs while you are laying down obviously red and sweating. sungchan tried his best not to fuck you right then and there.
seeing you struggle do your 6th crunch made sungchan go feral "sungc-" sungchan kisses you passionately
"god i love your voice. but i love shutting you up more"
b. school heartbreaker heeseung (idk if u like enha much but hesjdjjf) always winning his football fuck list competition where they pick a name from a fish bowl and get them to fuck then before finals. with a team full of visuals its not hard but it turned into a challenge when the team decided to prank heeseung's last time playing the game as a senior.
"dude wtf why did you wrote y/n. hes a man!" hee protested
"oh come on dude its obvious how much you wanna fuck this man" jake replied
"DUDE EWW? im not gay + hes a really nice person hes cute hes hella smart hes fun to talk to he does this cute smile when hes especially talking to me an-"
"uh huh the guy youre talking about thats "not ur crush" is right over there" jake put emphasis on not ur crush with finger quotes
oh fuck. hes cute. was all he said on his head when he saw yn
"damn heeseung thought you would last longer than that?" yn said but heeseung just blanked out remembering the first time he saw you before doing the game
"heeseung?" "i love you" it was yn's turn to blank out as all he hesrd after that was a slurs of i love you while heeseung messily drove yn to his high
c. its hard being alone in your 20s especially with drowning yourself in your work while having no one to share anything with: your problems, your success, everything. and its really bad when you have no social life because you cant rant to someone about your two hot buff dilf neighbors who live together.
"they're prolly not into me im a twink theyre daddies maybe thats why they live together" you said over and over again while trying to not look at your neighbors infront of you wearing nothing but sweatpants
"eyes up here sweetheart" sunghoon said
"yk if you want this you could just ask" sungchan said while pointing on his yk what
d. drunk yn has been ranting to his best friend sungchan about his single life, he had always done this but its new years and sungchan is sick and tired of yn's shenanigand
"yn really again? yk what suck it" he opened his jeans and showed his dick thats bulging from his underwear
"are u fucking serious?" yn asked
"deadass. im sick and tired of you ranting that youre a single virgin every year. especially when i could be the one to solve that problem"
"what?" good thing yn didn't heard the last part sungchan said
"are you gonna suck it or not?"
thats all i got 😵💫😵💫 IDK IF ITS RVEN OK
Sungchan is DEF NOT hiding the fact that he’s enjoying every moment of his name coming you your mouth!!! And when your doing crutches he’ll hold your feet but end up just running his hands up your hips “cmon baby keep up…you can’t grow weak just yet” and his hands with just fiddle with the waistband of your shorts!!! Seeing you struggle would also kill him untill he just smiles “take a rest, you’ll need some energy for what I’m gonna do to this cute body of yours”
Heeseung!!!!!! (I love this plot and yes I love enha) this is definitely something he then can’t go without! He’ll become feral to the point that if you two begin dating or not he’s gonna brag ab you, ab how you make him a cum covered mess, he doesn’t care!!! After every game he’s fucking you because that’s how you give him a lil reward!!!! CAR SEX AFTER PRACTICE!!! He’s just annoyed that his coach was being a dick and just rails you in the backseat of his car while ranting to you at the same time 😭😭
“You wanna see it up close?” Sunghoon would go fucking feral too see you drill over his cock, especially while it’s just in sweatpants “I can give you a little peek if your be a good boy for me, can you do that baby? Hmm?”
Sungchan will just slowly pump his cock “go on, I know you want too which pisses me off even more that I still have to hear you complain..”

least favorite thing about them: idk maybe the fact she works/allies herself with gakuganji? but idrc about it THAT much cuz it seems to me shes just doing what she has to to get a say in what goes on in kyoto tech.

OTP: SHOKOHIMEEEEEE 🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶
nOTP: her with any jjk man. they all suck and are gross and she doesnt gaf about any of them god bless

The excuses always are "oh we cant ship Vickie with Robin, we don't know enough about her, and they didn't interact enough for us to ship them, oh Vickie has no personality."
But then the fandom turns around and ships Gareth, who we know exactly three things about: plays dnd, likes metal, and plays drums in the same band as Eddie, and he is basically interchangeable with the other two corroded coffin/ hellfire dudes for all we know about them, with Will who he has never met. (This isn't a criticism of the character or the ship, more of the way people treat Gareth and Gareth/Will vs how they treat Vickie and Robin/Vickie.)
We have so many little things about Vickie. The strong hints of her being bi. Her having a similar sense of humour and taste in movies to Steve, like with the muppet joke and Fast Times. She's in band with Robin. She stayed behind and volunteered after the earthquake. She rambles when she gets flustered/nervous.
So imo its half 😡 she gets in the way of my gay ship so she is the worst. And half just the general fandom thing of treating women like shit, or holding them to a higher standard than men.
(seriously this fandom sees three men that have so little development and personality that they are basically the same character and can give them all in depth and different background stories. But one woman that has some overlap of interests with other characters, while still being her own character and it's just she's basically the same as a different character, that she has obvious differences to, so we're not even going to include her, or if we do she's the villain or we're going to treat her like shit)
totally agree anon! also interesting that gareth and will have dnd in common and yet.... but i suppose it could be considered a crack ship (though not extremely so) and therefore one might dismiss it as not counting the same as Vickie. I don't dislike it it's simply a ship that's there to me haha.
maybe like. last fall or something the vickie hate got really bad for some reason like I damn. I guess she's a bit of a blank slate so you can give her any personality but there was some really rank stuff happening. absolutely bonkers. either that or ignoring her existance or a quick "crush faded/it didn't work out". which is fair it's their fic and they can glance over whatever they want but it's frustrating when it's sooo common. and the excuse that they barely interacted (even tho everytime Vickie was there it was some kind of romantic thing for robin!) so it's hard to ship them. seems like a bit of a copout to me. people have shipped more with less. (also bypasses potential dram there which would maybe be fun to see? thy're so messy let them be messy) soooo right about it being part for the ship part treating women poorly. (a common problem in fandoms far and wide)
But also we do know a few things about that aren't "rambles and is in band". she also talks over the national anthem and eavesdrops! She gets passionate about movies, gets distracted, and enjoys Robin's company! It's so sad that she's often left to the wayside for being boring or too much like Robin yet other male side characters we know even less about get backstories etc from the fandom. Like damn can we not give vickie some time to shine? more love for vickie always!!
anyways you said everything really well anon.

secret relationship steddie hiding from the party until they slowly find out one by one
~~okay i havent written anything in a while so im sorry if this isnt that good but here ya go!~~
Steve fell for Eddie pretty fast after Vecna was taken care of. After him, Dustin and the girls dragged his bloodied and broken body out of the upside down, Steve started visiting Eddie in the hospital. Not sure what the tight feeling in his chest was, or why he was pleading, begging, for him to wake up and look at Steve. When that day finally came Steve felt like he could kiss Eddie! Eddie was alive, Eddie was going to be okay, Eddie helped defeat Vecna. A few months after Eddie woke up, and him and Steve got closer, he finally did kiss him, and Eddie kissed him back.
It’s nearing the end of the Summer of ‘86 and Steve and Eddie have been in a peaceful, blissful little bubble of secret romance. To the party, they’re just bros being bros, but to themselves in the cover of nightfall or eddies cozy trailer or Steves big empty house theyre boyfriends. Boyfriends. Steve still couldnt wrap his head around it, but knowing that the sweet little kisses peppered all around his face and the strong arms cuddling him from behind were all his to cherish made it absolutely okay that no one suspected a thing. That is until their shared little shitbird child, Dustin, started asking too many questions.
It started off innocent enough, Dustin bursting through the doors of Family Video, “STEVE! I need a ride to the arcade tomorrow, im GOING TO beat Maxs’ high score on dig dug, i can feel it.”
“Sorry bud but i am busy busy tomorrow, I have a shift here, and then I have to take my car to the mechanic, its making an awful clicking sound, and then ive got a doct..”
“Jesus okay, a simple no would have sufficed”
“It really wouldnt have.” Steve said, sarcastically.
Dustins whole face lit up as he said, “thats okay ill just ask Eddie!” before turning heel and running to the door, Steve swearing he saw a cloud of dust following him he went so fast.
“Youre busy too?! What the hell man?! Whats the point of having two older friends with cars if i cant get rides from them?!” Dustin yelled a little too loud in Eddies little trailer.
“Sorry dude, ive gotta help Wayne out around the house, probably gonna take all day and night.” Eddie said with a smile forming on his face. Tomorrow, Steve had told Eddie to keep the whole entire 24 hours free, as he planned something cheesy, romantic and that would probably make Eddies heart swell a million times bigger.
“Ugh! whatever ill just ride my bike!” Dustin exclaimed.
“Its good to exercise!” Eddie called out the door as Dustin stomped off.
Mike and Dustin were sitting in the basement at Mikes house complaining about having no ride to the arcade the next day.
“Have you noticed how Steve and Eddie are always busy at the same time lately? Do you think theyre hanging out together without us?” Mike asks.
“Yeah you know, now that you say something it does seem like that. They didnt even know each other before us! You’d think they would be more grateful!” Dustin exclaims.
“Eddie, baby, come on in.” Steve smiles as he opens the door to his house. Once Eddie is inside it doesnt feel so empty. So cold.
“So what do you have planned for us, sweetheart?” Eddie asks, voice low, clearly excited to get the plans in action.
“Well i figured we could do some barbecuing together, skinny dip in the pool, watch the sunset and then lay under the stars,” Steve takes Eddies hand and leads him into the living room to the couch, “but right now i just really need to kiss you.” Steve spins Eddie around and gently pushes him onto the couch before crawling into his lap and planting his knees firmly on either side of Eddies waist. Steves arms drape over Eddies shoulder as their lips connect. Steve flicks his tongue out trace Eddies pouty bottom lip and Eddie opens his mouth to let Steve in. The kiss is passionate and hot and heavy and pretty soon both boys are frantically tearing at each others clothes. They try to get Steves shorts off without him having to give up his seat on Eddies lap and bump heads, giggling, as they get back into exploring each others mouths like its the first time again.
“I knew Eddie was going to be here! I knew they were hanging out without us, those jerks.” Dustin says as he hops off his bike and lets it fall into Steves front yard, Mike coming up right behind him. “Im catching them in the act of having fun without us.” He said smugly as he bursts through the front door. “Aha! Assho- OH MY GOD!”
Steve startles and jumps off of eddies lap, hiding himself behind the couch while Eddie grabs a pillow and covers his lap.
“What the actual fuck Henderson?!” Eddie exclaims. Mike walks in at that moment.
“Oh dude were you guys kissing?! Gross youre like my parents.” He said with a disgusted groan.
“Are you guys dating?” Dustin asks at the same time.
Steve holds his finger towards the boys, “First of all, its not gross because we literally are not your parents and second of all,” he looks down at Eddie, who is already looking up at him, giving him the go ahead with his eyes, “yes we are dating. But please dont tell anyone else, its still kinda new and we dont want a bunch of people knowing.”
Steve makes Dustin and Mike pinky swear they wont tell anyone what they saw. They also get a ride to the arcade by a grumpy Steve Harrington and a giggly Eddie Munson.
Two days later, at Eddies trailer, Steve is preparing breakfast for the two after a lovely night spent together.
“Kiss the chef, eh? Dont mind if i do.” Eddie giggles and gives Steve a chaste little kiss on the lips, “smells delicious sweetheart, I cant wait to eat.”
Steve smiles at the compliment and now he cant wait for Eddie to try what hes making.
The bext trailer over, El rips the blindfold down from her eyes as they almost bulge out of her skull.
“What?! Was Steve with a girl?!” Max asks frantically, the makeshift spin board with everyones names on it between them.
“No, Steve is at Eddies house and he is kissing him and making him breakfast” El says with a hint of surprise in her voice.
“No way.” Max gets up and goes to leave her trailer with El following closely behind her. They dont even knock on Eddies door, they just slam it open as Steve and Eddie jump apart from each other.
“What the hell is up with you twerps and not fucking knocking on doors?!” Steve yells.
“El saw you guys kissing so we had to come over and see if if it was really happening. Gross by the way.” Max said.
“Maybe dont spy on people if you dont want to be grossed out” Eddie laughed.
Lucas and Will found out the next day because Lucas wanted to get some basketball tips from Steve and Will tagged along because, come on, its Steve Harrington, who doesnt wanna look at that. After the boys apologized for the precarious situation they were found in, Will stayed behind after Lucas started to leave.
“Im really happy for you guys” Will spoke softly.
Eddie ruffles his hair, “thanks baby Byers, anytime you wanna talk you know you can come to us” Will thanked him and left before Lucas got curious as to why he wasnt following.
Robin and Nancy walked in on a hot and heavy makeout sesh at a party at the Hoppers-Byers household.
“Im surprised but im happy for you guys! you seem to fit well together” Nancy smiled after the inital awkwardness was over. She looked expectedly at Robin.
“Oh yeah i totally did not, didnt know you guys were together. What a complete shock but im- im happy for you” Robin spit out quick, knowing she was the only one who knew because she helped Steve through his bi-panic when we he realized he wanted to kiss Eddie.
At that same party, Steve and Eddie were interrupted again by a very high Argyle and Jonathon.
“You guys are cute. Know where we can go make-out?” Argyle asked while Jonathon blushed.

dude im being 100% fr shizaya fanfic writers were and are fucking insane
because my school banned ao3 (my fault, but that's not important), i saved a bunch of super long shizaya fics (which are PLENTIFUL for some reason, maybe because tastewithouttalent wrote so goddamn many) and have them open to entire work which allows it to stay open on my school devices without being “registered” per say
and they have been like. fucking destroying me
To Hell and Back by corteae started with “izaya and shizuo travel around the world and wacky shenanigans happen” and i was messaging my discord server like “SHIZAYA WORLD TOUR WOOOOOOO” and i was expecting wacky shenanigans and then suddenly everything went off the fucking rails in the way i LEAST expected it to happen
like maybe i wouldn’t have been so blindsided if i hadn’t skimmed through the tags so quickly but like it’s more fun that way. i hate when i actually see a ‘major character death’ tag warning because i want to be surprised
ANYWAY that was genuinely like. one of my favorite fanfiction reading experiences to date. it was like reading a whole novel with how much original stuff was in there but it was so focused on izaya and shizuo and characterized them so unexpectedly well that the original stuff never really felt out of place or forced even though it was so wild
and even though it got super dark at times it maintained this really hopeful outlook on everything and sometimes it was downright cheesy but it just WORKS for that fic and i love it because of that
and some of the challenges it made the characters go through just worked SO well for their canon characters especially post-ketsu and i gasped audibly at some of them and Ahrhghgghhfdgfd
and then the past few days i was reading this zombie apocalypse fanfiction (april 23rd by izayas) and it was like. the most depressing fanfiction reading experiences to date. i literally had a panic attack in school after i read this for a bit too long a session like holy shit it just felt so real and so heavy and hopeless
the writing was phenomenal and well-planned/foreshadowed and probably has the best shizuo AND izaya characterization that i’ve ever seen?? like i could believe things would actually happen in this way in canon. probably because their hate for each other is so intrinsic and they’re never really able to let go of that?? which is not what i expected because yes they bond and yes they care for each other but it was always in a way so that you could feel the wall between them, and even when they connect it’s only briefly, never enough to tear them away from their hatred fully
it almost feels shakespearean in how tragic it is?? everything is so character driven and all their downward spiraling is so poetic and sickening but utterly gorgeous to read. like at so many points you’re like GOD if only they had done this one small thing different, if only if only if only and it’s just htrgrhgfhgd drives me insane which is probably what izayas-san was going for lmao. esoecially at the end you can really feel the shakespeare tragedy kicking in
it’s notable that although it’s tagged shizaya and very much centers around their relationship, it’s much more an exploration of the will of human nature and their individual struggles with coping and growing from their experiences, and there’s like. no typical romance whatsoever
it’s about their sick, twisted, passionate love and whether it’s enough to save either of them or if it’ll kill both of them and just. god. i am empty after that fic i didnt cry but it feels like all the tears have been drained from my body i dont even know how to feel or how to function. i had to take a break from writing this review and it’s been a whole weekend and there’s still this weight on my chest that i cant get rid of :sob: for my sanity’s sake i sincerely doubt i could ever read it again but i honestly treasure that experience
ANYWAY READ SHIZAYA FANFICTION IT’S BUIILT DIFFERENT
#this fanfics literally changed my brain chemistry dude im so infatuated with both#they’re like at complete opposite ends of the fanfiction spectrum but they’re both so amazing#funny how they’re both kinda roadtrip-like in nature#although for very different reasons#izayas or corteae if you ever read this know that i love you#you’re both so creative and so clever and such amazing writers that i really look up to#shizaya#shizuo heiwajima#izaya orihara#durarara

opinion on taylor swift?
i dont really have a strong one. her music has never been my thing like i dont think her music is bad by any means but its just not for me and i dont see anything special with any of her songs or music like it has never stood out to me or appealed to me but thats probably bc i just dont ”get it” and probably never will get it but like i said that just goes to show that its not for me lol that doesnt make it bad
i kinda have respect for her whole thing tho like i kinda love that shes always just written songs that are blatantly about her ex bfs and her own relationships like i dont know why she got so much shit for that and why it was ever a big deal and the whole ”ooh watch out if u date taylor she will write a song about u” thing is just so dumb to me bc like… yeah shes an artist and songwriter thats kind of her thing like the girl writes from the heart thats why shes so popular lol like from what i understand her music is successful and so loved bc girls can deeply relate to the lyrics since she basically just sings about shit girls often feel and experience in love and heartbreak bc shes basically writing songs as if shes writing in her diary i guess like thats just her writing style and process and i respect that like good for her shes doing something with that i love that for her and her fans
i thought that little short film/long music video she did with that ginger girl from stranger things and the teen wolf dude was good and very well made as well and i saw some behind the scenes footage where taylor was very much directing the whole thing and i was impressed by her skills as a director like she knew exactly what she wanted the shots to look like and she had a purpose for every shot and stylistic choice and had a specific feeling she wanted to convey thru those shots and she was very good at communicating that with the cameraman and she was very good at directing the actors and was very detailed about it like she even had subtle little movements and glances down to a t like she knew EXACTLY what she wanted out of every scene and had a very clear artistic vision and she had no problem explaining it and bringing it to life especially thru her actors. very good at communicating what feeling she wanted the actors to portray and how she wanted them to do it. thats a talented director imo i rly like that style of directing in general and i think she nailed it. no wonder her stuff are so successful. she seems like a total sweetheart too so shes very likeable in general i think like she comes across as very genuine
thats all i have to say about her like those are my only thoughts. i do think shes a true artist and i admire and respect her passion and dedication to her art but its not my kind of art personally but just bc its not for me doesnt mean i cant acknowledge her artistic talent and value bc i do see that she has a lot of it
#tldr its not my kind of music but i think shes rly good at what she does and shes very artistically talented#and surprisingly has natural talent as a director#i could see her being a writer/director in the movie industry if she wasnt a singer

i remember you saying at one point that ghoul would have some tattoos, mostly of sentimental value. i would absolutely LOVE to hear more about that if youd like to share :)
okay so most of his tattoos are things that relate to his past crewmates/people he's cared about who've been ghosted:
- a green eye on his forearm for the first joy he can remember being with, who looked after him when he was a baby/toddler. they died when he was still super young, around four or five, and so the oy thung he can really remember about them is that they had green eyes like him
- below that hes got this sort of scattering of little screws and bolts and things like that which wraps around his arm to represent the next crew that took him in; a bunch of gearheads who sort of sparked his passion for machines and building shit
- he definitely has one for the man that took him in after that (the guy referenced at the begining of ttid who drops him off with the crew that be meets jet in) but idk what it would be exactly. i need to think abt this one more 😅
- (a more ttid specific one here, and yes mentioning his and poison's tats is a revision i need to make leave me alone its not my fault i kept forgetting to mention them earlier 😭) he has a little chain of small wildflowers around his wrist on the opposite arm from the first two. there were always a BUNCH of flowers that grew around the old gas station they lived in, so flowers sort of always remind him of that time in his life
- also in reference to that time! he has a star on his chest, just a simple black outline right over where his heart is. hmmm i wonder if thats supposed to be a sort of memorial for anyone in particular 🤔 yes i promise i will bring this up in ttid
- minor ttid spoiler for this next one ig? idk its not anything super relevant but just in case you somehow care abt waiting to find out why ghoul knows how to read.
anyways, after being separated from the crew with jet, he gets found by this old bookbuzzer dude who lives in this doomsday bunker library type thing underground! he always talked about the value of reading and stories as vessels for the truth, so he makes it his mission to teach kid ghoul how to read bc its "his best weapon against bli, one they cant take from you", so he gets this open book on his shoulder. the pages are sort of fanning out, and theres a little illustration of a knife on one of them
- when he was older, like early teen years, he was running with with ine crew for a WHILE, almost as long as he had been with jet and that group. he basically thinks that hes found the people he's found his family, his permanent crew for the foreseeable future, so he gets a cluster of little bees and other bugs bc the group called themself "the hive" or "the swarm" or something dumb like that.
anyways! long story short, these fuckers screw him over, his face gets cut up yadda yadda yadda you know the drill, and so he covers the bugs with a raven to represent his bad luck that seems to follow him whenever he joins a crew,cand serving as a reminder for why he goes it alone for so long as its by far his biggest tattoo
- a few years after he officially joings party and kobra and jet, he gets each of their symbols tattooed in a line undernath the raven, and maybe theres some sentimental little quote or word undernath them but idk what id be lol ill get back to you in that
- also! he and poison have matching tattoos of bombs that say "shiny" across them! i talk more abt this in my list of party poison's tatoos that i still need to post so look out for that ig
- the final tattoo he gets is done a few days before they go into the city to save the girl. its of her boombox with the words "keep running" above/ around it and he gets it as sort of a prayer for her own safety, and so he can die with a reminder of her bc he jusg knows hes not making it out of that city alive.
i might think up some more later down the line for little moments or important things in ghoul's life, but these are all the biggest and most important ones to him!!! thanks for asking i fucking loved the excuse to talk abt all this :D
#asks#danger days headcanons#danger days the true lives of the fabulous killjoys#my headcanons#fun ghoul#fun ghoul headcanons#ttid

Seeing you in a wedding dress for the first time
Fandom: Haikyuu
Pairing: Oikawa x fem!reader
Genre: Fluff,Humor
Format: Scenario
Warnings: Tiny bit of NSFW,but nothing too accurate
Word count: 0.9K
A/n: dude i wrote this at 3 am and i was supposed to be sleeping/studying for my upcoming exam in the morning,but im just obsessed with this scenario
not proofread
here you go Oikawa stans! youre welcome ;)
Suna version
it was just a crazy idea.an idea that popped into your mind the minute you laid eyes on the gorgeous wedding dress in the showcase of the shop near your college.
"what would Tooru's reaction be when he sees me in this?" you thought to yourself while caressing the soft,fluffy material on its skirt.
so you rented the dress,just for one night-tonight.it didnt cost you a lot because the owner had seen you gasping and literally drooling while staring at the dress,more than once,which made her feel bad so she gave you a remarkable discount.
And now here you were,wearing red lipstick and eye make up on, your hair chignoned Elegantly which couldnt have been done without the help of your roommate,who was sitting in front of you on her bed, her eyes moving from her watch to your face every ten seconds.
"what time he said he'll get here?" "in a few minutes" you mumbled,while scrolling through your phone,wishing to come across something interesting. "well it has been half an hour since he told you that,and i cant see any sign of him here" "SO IMPATIENT! why do you even care anyway?" you giggled as you present her an innocent smile, already knowing the reason why she was acting like this;but you couldnt miss an opportunity to tease her,could you?
"EXCUSE ME? are you for real? dont tell me that you forgot about how you made me stay at my friend's house the other night you wore a dirty outfit!" "but its not a dirty outfit this time!" "yeah! its a wedding dress! thats even worse!" she whined dramatically,pouting as the memory of that night became lively in her mind.her friend's house was not nice-not at all like her good old dorm room,which she had to share with you,unfortunately.you weren't a bad roommate,you were just...just...
too carefree when it came to being with your boyfriend.
you two continued chatting-which was basically you listening to her nag about things that was bothering her,and you were definitely on top of her list-until you heard a slight knock on the door. "babe? you there?"
you smiled as you heard the familiar voice that belonged to your boyfriend,and got excited cause it was show time!
"your prince charming has finally arrived,idiot" your friend says while opening the door,facing the usual nice while mischevious look on Oikawa's face. "well,arent you a pea-" he was planning on teasing her a bit longer,but was speechless when his eyes met with yours.
"Awwww what happened?did the cat ate your tongue?" you gave him a cocky smile,gliding toward him as you gyrated to give him a better view.
"so,what do you think?" he remained silent,but the sparkle in his eyes did all the talking for him.there wasnt much left for him to say.
however,there were plenty of things he could do.
within a blink of an eye,he literaly threw you on the bed,came on top of you as he crashed his lips into yours,tasting them harshly like a starved man.youre friend could swear that she heard the bed crack at that moment,but there were more important things to care about.
"h-hey! do this shit when youre alone together!" it was clear that you both heard her words,but anyone could tell that none of em really mattered right now.Oikawa was head over heels in love with you already. you were one of the most important things in his life and he really wanted to spend his lifetime with you,but seeing you in that dress...
you looked like an angel.an angel he wanted all for himself so badly.
at first you just continued your little make out session to tease your friend for a bit,but now? you couldnt resist his touch.
not when he was this passionate.
his hands traveling through your body,caressing the delicate skin with his fingertips as he comtinued smooching.you could hear his heartbeat,racing like hell.why was he so impressed anyway? you didnt really see this coming,but he was obsessed with you.he wanted to wake up with the feeling of you clinging to the side of him.he wanted to go to sleep with you in his arms,placing small kisses on your sensitive neck while breathing the sweet scent of your shampoo that was left on your hair.he wanted to be the one who gets to comfort you when youre feeling down.he wanted to be the one who you share kids with.he loved you,so much more than you can even imagine.
you were both running out of breath,but were too stubborn to break the kiss.air was not that important anyway...
your hands gently found their way under his boxers as you felt his hardened lenghth rubbing againts your clothed cunt,peeking at the room with your right eye just to realise your friend was gone long ago,
and you were too all over each other to notice.
Bonus:
◆you did buy the dress in the end,cause your beloved Tooru ripped it apart
◆and you actually started thinking about starting a family with him,and he seemed to be on the same page as you but was looking for a great opportunity
◆he got the opportunity when he found you in your bed looking kinda sick,with a used baby check on the drawer a few days after "the incident" :D
Reblogs are super duper appreciated! ty for reading this and i hope you enjoyed it :)

Hey thanks I thought I was the only one who didn’t like the joke. Everyone laughed yuck
Ahhhhh yeah :/ i thought the joke was definitely funny, but with that harsh twinge of sadness at just how normalized and accepted this sort of sexism STILL is.
' i was never good at telling jokes but the punchline goes, i get older but your lovers stay my age '
And its not necessarily a damnation of the man himself - obviously rami is a favorite of mine but i dont think hes ever dated anyone over 30 and is veering towards jake and leo disease too, and i still think rami is one of the most brilliant character narrative builders in the business currently - but its a damnation of a culture that treats romantic partners not as equals but as disposable play things with an expiration date. Look, i got flirted with by much older guys in pittsburgh all the time - usually it was cute, they were friendly, very complimentary and flattering about it, and they never treated it seriously or asked me out. Then i came to LA and the difference was night and day. Older (rich) men here feel entitled to younger women in a way that is frankly scary - at one point in a bar when a guy in his 60s was hitting on me my muscular male friend had to physically step between us and scare the guy off to get him to go away.
And it doesn't help that im sort of in the 'one of the guys' category, so i've heard the way these super rich dudes talk about the models they date behind their back while hanging with 'the guys', and, ugh, its not nice. I will say one thing for sports dudes - i imagine guys like ja*gr have way more respect for young women who are passionate about health and fitness than computer science executives.
But there's negatives in the sports world too - yall know how much i adore taylor. But even i recognize that she's not 'sports bro hot' - she doesn't have silicone, her make up is understated, she doesn't have that social media defined 'hotness' that sports fan dudes expect their sports heroes to date. So while i was naively scrolling insta looking for cute snapshots of taylor and travis being all lovey dovey at the end of the game, a good half the comments were men complaining about her. Saying they cant understand why travis is dating someone so old, that she will never be able to give him kids, that she's already showing her age (both of them are 34 btw). So far travis seems to ignore these types of comments but it would be hard to judge him for giving into peer pressure because this stuff is just so prevelant and exhausting.
And it does effect us older women - while i was dating Pilot Boy i was absolutely hyper aware of the fact that here is this rich, handsome, successful, and extremely smart guy dating beneath him. Like we bonded over being literally the same age - we had mutual friends in college without even knowing it. But i was always questioning like what does this guy see in me - why isn't he dating a gorgeous 25 year old whose only goal in life is to live on the beach with him??? Like he was honestly more the type of dude i would be friends with while he dates hotter women, lol. So i really was not surprised when he ended things (i was mostly sad that we couldnt stay friends and continue geeking out on airplanes and history together LOL), it just felt like it made sense, of course he wouldn't be serious about me, a guy like him should be dating a fresh, youthful, less bitter and cynical 25 yr old blonde. Six years in LA and this is just the pattern i see repeating itself over and over.
And im the romantic - when i fall in love its ALL in. Usually it's personality, usually its intellectual - that comfort in finding someone who just understands how you think. I love being so close to someone that you know them better than yourself, that you can communicate wordlessly. Shared humor, shared experience. As i age im learning that i actually dont pay much attention to the signs of aging when it comes to attraction - who notices wrinkles when what you're in love with is that look in their eye when they smile at you? The mental connection between romantic partners is the most important for me in my book. For me this typically means someone within the ten year range plus or minus - though i prefer it even within a five year age gap.
#But i also really feel for the women because when i was 22 i got myself into a relationship with a man a decade older#Who only valued me for my youth and tight skin#And even back then no matter how much in love i was (and i have since deleted all the posts but even after he dumped me i was still#coming on this blog sighing about how much i loved and missed him)#The feeling of being only valued for your youth was still skeevy to me#In the back of my mind i knew that this was a trait i was eventually going to lose because everyone ages#And i was not confident enough to think i would ever have any value beyond Young#And thats not to say there are not relationships with age gaps that are healthy - there totally are look at ally and justin they ARE love#Its just a very specific type of relationship where the older partner keeps dating younger and younger and only values youth#that creeps me out#And in our culture that narrative usually is an older man with a younger woman and i tend to side with the woman#THE GOOD NEWS is if you notice in the clips and gifs it looks like the younger guys on the pens are laughing a lot less than the old guard#i think the newer generation - the dudes in their 20s are starting to realize how shallow all this is and that things are changing#and that the generation of women after me will deal with a lot less pressure#At least i hope!!!#Jrnlsht#Sorry this got long
