watching the sdcc panel and i am just very :) about how sweet their answers to “what are some of the micro moments from the game that have stuck with you the most over the years?” are. taliesin saying what the fuck is up with that which was the first like The Party Gets To Know Each Other moments of c3. travis saying asking his wife if he could kiss her in campaign. marisha going way back to the cannonball competition in campaign one. ashley choosing the beauyasha date but also just the silly goat noise matt made. liam adding onto that to compliment matt roleplaying grass so well and then saying his favourite moment was writing a story for laura and reading it to her as caleb for jester. and then matt saying that was his answer, and that his favourite moments of the game are when they find ways to give gifts to each other whether tangible or not. and sam saying his favourite moments have less to do with the story and is more so when he can just. see his friends across the table from him. when marisha perches and when laura and ashley are (badly) drawing dicks and liam saying he loves when sam sneezes and ashley tells him to stop it and just. yeah. they Are an extremely popular online powerhouse, but i’m so happy that they’re also friends building a world together out of gifts to and love for one another.
like i Am so enamoured with the characters and the world of exandria but the moments when you can feel the love that those people have for each other reach out from behind the stained glass of their performances (to steal a metaphor from brennan lee mulligan) are so extremely special and i am endlessly grateful that they decided to share their silly little home game with the world.

we don’t talk enough about mobius trauma. this analyst with a heart of gold running around the tva telling silly jokes and eating pie just carrying this incredibly profound burden. the way he says ‘scar tissue’ is so heavy and idk but i thought it was one of the few or only time he talked about it and was still holding back and talking about the wound after its healed but changed forever. never skin again. and he said that to his first time meeting loki.

For the first few nights of their relationship, Eddie is the little spoon. He and Steve both shuffle into that position without discussion; Steve curled tight around him, their hands linked and pressed against Eddie's bare chest, legs tangled together.
On the fifth day, Eddie walks in to Steve's room to find him fast asleep on top of the covers, curled up on his side, still in his work clothes. Eddie shucks his shirt off and slides onto the bed behind him, tucking an arm around his waist. Steve presses back against his chest, humming happily in his sleep, and it doesn't take long for Eddie to drop off next to him.
When Eddie wakes, it's because he's shaking. It takes him a second to get his bearings, but he soon realizes that Steve is sobbing.
"Shit, sweetheart," he mumbles, pushing up onto one elbow. He brushes Steve's hair back with his free hand, shushing him quietly. "Hey, now. Talk to me, baby."
But Steve doesn't have words. He cries and cries, alternating between pushing back against Eddie and pulling away.
Eventually, Eddie gently rolls Steve over and pulls him to lie against his chest. "It's okay," he whispers. "It's okay, Steve. It's okay. I've got you."
Fresh tears roll down Steve's cheeks. Eddie does his best to wipe them away, does his best to figure out what's going on. He cups Steve's cheek in one hand, and presses soft kisses across his forehead. "Talk to me, baby. Please."
Steve takes a sharp breath; shakes his head a bit. "I've just- never been held like that before. Always me doing the- holding- Caught me off guard. Didn't- don't- Sorry- Stupid-"
Eddie heart breaks. He kisses Steve gently and manouevres them back into their previous position, with Steve as the little spoon once more. "Like this, yeah?" Eddie asks, curling as much of his body around his boyfriend as he can.
Steve nods, still shaky.
"Sorry, Ed-"
"Please no apologies, Stevie. I've got you."
And he does. They lie like that for hours, Steve crying off and on, Eddie pressing kisses to the top of Steve's head and reminding him how loved he is - how loved he deserves to feel. As time goes on, Steve relaxes into the hold more and more.
Eddie makes sure Steve is little spoon damn near every night after that.
