six sentence sunday

tagged by the ever-lovely @cheatghost, thank you lou 💙💙💙💙

rules: post six sentences of an unfinished work and tag six people

so anyone remember when i said i had a dumb steddie idea a few weeks ago? here's a taste of bang, bang, that awful sound...

All that sweet gravity gangs up on the fragile cage of Eddie’s chest, pinning his voice down, below even a whisper. “Steve…” Impatient and delirious with the delicious danger of proximity, he pushes up to meet Steve halfway. Their noses bump, and Steve laughs, soft and caramel-colored, a careful centimeter left between their lips. His stomach is a storm on the sea: roiling and crashing, building and building and building.  Steve’s skin is warm against his.  He closes his eyes, surrendering to the war under his ribs. Something hard presses into his chest.

and i'm not sure who's done this already, but no pressure either way: @flowercrowngods, @puppy-steve, @patchworkgargoyle, @tboygareth, @kkpwnall, and @sharpbutsoft

no, you know what, I figured out what my one (1) guilty pleasure is

Don't mind me having the weirdest conversations

MP100 manga out of context time!

New post... soon... 👁👁

WWDITS FINALE LEAKS FORESHADOWING

i cannot physically look at people's jokes about nandor being jealous and wanting to kill freddie. i feel so bad. i feel so bad knowing what's going to happen. every time i fight the urge to joke about it and every time i just sit trying not to cry and trying to forget the thing that happened

blood “loss”? well it’s not lost. i know exactly where it went. right over there.

i do unironically think the best artists of our generation are posting to get 20 notes and 3 reblogs btw. that fanfic with like 45 kudos is some of the best stuff ever written. those OCs you carry around have some of the richest backstories and worldbuilding someone has ever seen. please do not think that reaching only a few people when you post means your art isn't worth celebrating.

not romantic not platonic but a secret third thing [what would happen between earth and the moon if the earth stopped spinning as illustrated by xkcd randall munroe]

be free!!

the men and boys are innocent too.

we cry "the innocent women and children" to appeal to the masses, to try and force their sympathy, but the men and boys are innocent too.

I have seen sons crying out for their mothers, their fathers, their siblings. I have seen them break down at the loss of their families. I have seen them cling to their dead and grieve.

I have seen fathers cradle their dead children, seen them kiss their faces and hold their little hands. I have seen them faint with grief when asked to identify the dead. I have seen them carry their sons and daughters. I have seen them fasting to provide what little they can for their families.

I have seen men and boys digging through the rubble with just their bare hands, I have seen them comforting strangers, playing with children, rocking them, hushing them, even if the face of such imminent danger. I have seen them cry, seen them grieve, seen them break down into each other's arms, seen them be selfless, beyond selfless, becoming something I don't have a word for.

I have seen the men who are doctors refuse to leave their patients, even when they have no medicine or supplies to give them, even when they're threatened with bombings. I have seen fathers who have lost all their children pick orphans up into their arms and proclaim them their child so they are not alone. I have seen men and boys digging pets out of the rubble.

the men are innocent too. the men and boys are being hurt and killed too. the men and boys are grieving too. the men and boys are scared too. the men and boys are fighting to save their people too. the men and boys deserve to be fought for too.

maya angelou saying the funniest thing anyone has ever said about editing, which i can never let myself forget EVER AGAIN [x]

i have so much rage in me one day i think i will explode. i dont think i know how to forgive as much as i know how to forget

poetry and musical theater get similar accusations leveled at them in terms of not being realistic, i.e. “no one fucking talks like that” or “people don’t randomly burst into song in real life” and sometimes i just want to take people by the shoulders and say. there are forms of art that are not aiming for perfect realism. are you capable of handling that

So... a bunch of NFT grifters threw a party in Hong Kong this weekend and reportedly a bunch of attendees are now at risk of permanent eyesight damage because the promoters used unsafe lighting, and people are going to the ER...
