i’m seeing a lot of disappointment from st4vol2, and while valid criticisms have been made, i want to talk about will, and my thoughts on his character this season.

obviously spoiler alert for season 4, volumes 1 and 2

in my opinion, will is as close to the edge of the closet as he could feasibly get, given the time period and the state of everything in his life. this was 1986, “sodomy” was still technically illegal in some states, and gay marriage wasn’t even close to being on the table.

it’s now 2022. we’ve come miles from where we were in the 80s in terms of acceptance, but still the lgbtq+ community receives all grades of vile shit on the daily.

i’m only out to one of my friends. i have friends across the sexuality spectrum, friends i know would accept me with opens arms if i told them, and still i haven’t managed to come out to them, let alone my family.

now imagine you’re will byers. zombie kid. adoptive brother to your best friend’s girlfriend. adoptive brother to your best friend’s girlfriend, the best friend you’re secretly in love with. at the tender age of maybe 14 years old, your life has been uprooted and changed in incomprehensible ways, and you’ve hardly reached puberty yet (in the show, obv mr schnapp is well on his way to being a man, cute sweet thing that he is).

now, your life has just been uprooted for the 4th time, your family is scattered, and you are now on the run with your stoner, ptsd-riddled bro, his stoner bestie, and your best friend while on the way to find said best friend’s girlfriend, the one who is basically family to you at this point.

it’s not even a question of being gay at that point, it then becomes “how do i tell my best friend i’m in love with him when he’s in love with my adoptive sister?” will is an exceptionally sensitive kid. empath to the nth degree. he feels things very deeply and wears his emotions on his sleeve. the last thing he ever wants is to see his friends or family hurting, and to possibly drive a wedge between his best friend and his sister just isn’t something he’d do, hence why i don’t think he’d tell mike about his feelings for him.

jonathan obviously knows will is gay. the finale made that pretty clear with their talk.

we obviously know he’s gay. we’ve grown up with his character, seen ourselves in his behavior, especially since they’ve dialed it up to 11 in this last season.

i would never try to speak on behalf of others, especially not in our current social climate, however, for me, i can honestly say that will came out in every way that mattered to me. his conversation with jonathan had me sobbing. will is so loved. so so very loved. i’m just hoping that with season 5 on the horizon, he’ll finally feel comfortable enough and have the peace of mind enough to decide to come out to mike and the others.

they’ll never make byler canon, y’all have to know that. but, we could very easily get canon gay will in the last season, and that is all i can hope for at this point.

yes, we got robin in season 3, while she was literally under a truth serum. do you really think even for a second that if her and steve hadn’t been drugged that she’d have come out then and there? because i don’t. yes, her and steve had effectively just forged an incredibly deep trauma bond on top of their budding work friendship, but in the 1980s, i don’t think she’d have felt comfortable enough to come out to him of her own volition had these extra things not been going on. especially when we think about keith and eddie and pretty much everyone else who wasn’t part of the cool crowd when steve was in school. they all thought he was a massive douche. robin was aware of steve’s reputation, knew that he was widely regarded as king douchebag. yes, she moved past this and became his friend, but i would be very hesitant to trust someone like that with my deepest secret back then.

while on the subject of robin, she means so so very much to me. maya hawke does a phenomenal job and it’s been so beautiful and frankly inspiring to have a canon lesbian character who isn’t just some lame side character with no dialogue or purpose as a character other than just being gay and checking the diversity box. she’s smart, insightful even. she’s beautiful but not to the detriment of her intelligence like is so often done with female characters. she has flaws, and she owns them. she’s witty, brave, and unfailingly loyal to her friends, all while being a non-offensive representation of a wlw (in my opinion). if i had a big sister, i’d give anything for her to be like robin.

anyways, in conclusion, will is as out to me as robin is. just because he hasn’t said “i’m gay” doesn’t make him any less out to us, the audience. his actions speak volumes, and i love him with my entire heart. he’s been my favorite of the kids from the start, and i just hope he gets a satisfying end to his story in season 5.

For anyone who wanted the times of london review (spoilers obvs and avoid if avoiding reviews)

It’s spring break 1986 and the cute kids from the American science fiction show have almost grown up — zits, chest hair and all. But then so have its fans, allowing creators, the Duffer brothers to ramp up the scares in this brilliantly dark fourth series — conceived in 2019 but delayed thanks to Covid.

If the first seasons of Stranger Things nodded to ET the Extra-Terrestrial and Stand by Me, this one (which comes in two “volumes”, with staggered releases) genuflects to A Nightmare on Elm Street. If we were in any doubt, they have even cast Robert Englund, the actor who played Freddy Krueger.

The gang of teenagers has splintered — and there are some new faces. Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) has grown her hair and is the butt of Mean Girls-style bullying in California, where she is living with Joyce (Winona Ryder), Will (Noah Schnapp) and Jonathan (Charlie Heaton). They are joined in the sunshine by new dude Argyle (Eduardo Franco), a pizza delivery driver who provides them with wheels, a Musical Youth soundtrack on his car stereo and this series’ only weakness — his irritating stoner schtick.

Back in Hawkins the rest of the original gang are no longer a unit. Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo), still the court jester, and Mike (Finn Wolfhard, channelling Joey Ramone) have started at high school and are members of the Hellfire Club, a home for nerds, led by newbie Eddie (Joseph Quinn — excellent). Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin, sporting a natty flattop) has fallen in with a bunch of jocks, Nancy (Natalia Dyer) is a student journalist, Robin (Maya Hawke) and Steve (Joe Keery) are working in a video shop. Max (Sadie Sink), traumatised by her brother Billy’s death, is withdrawn and living in a trailer park.

It’s not long before the peril kicks in. Spoiler alert! Former Hawkins cop Hopper (David Harbour), presumed dead, remerges in a vicious Soviet prison, from which Joyce and the Russophile Murray (Brett Gelman) attempt to spring him. Eleven, who still assumes her proxy pop Hopper dead, is doubting her own moral centre — and who she trusts.

Meanwhile, in Hawkins a schoolgirl starts having visions involving a grandfather clock and dies in bizarre circumstances, thanks to a humanoid monster called Vecna. But the town’s finger points to Eddie, this show’s Boo Radley. When Max begins to have dreams (Sink is superb) the kids realise the Upside Down is still imposing on their town, with Vecna making a beeline for the most vulnerable.

This leads our detective duo, Nancy and Robin, to a mental hospital to speak to Victor Creel (Englund), the only man who has ever survived an attack by Vecna. A Kate Bush song becomes an unlikely antidote to evil in a finale to volume one that had me in pieces.

Fans of the early series have nothing to worry about: Stranger Things still balances sweetness, laughs and horror like no other show — even if the scares have got jumpier.

For the fandom thingy, Stranger Things

Ooh this should be fun. I’ve been a fan since season one dropped so I have a lot of things to say (probably just babbling) 🤣🗣

Favorite female characters: KIDS Max because she’s so damn cool, Erica because she’s one of the most badass girls I’ve ever seen TEEN Robin because she��s exactly who I am as a person around my friends and Maya Hawke is everything 😍 ADULT Joyce because A. WINONA and B. She’s the smartest one of them all. Like she always knows when shit is wrong and she doesn’t deserve to keep losing her damn boyfriends.

Favorite male characters: KID Dustin because he’s been my favorite ever since he waved at Nance in the pilot with his cute face. Will because that sweet boy has been through the wringer and he deserves to play some D&D🥺 TEEN Steve Harrington because he had an amazing redemption arc from jerky jock to the best damn babysitter ever. Also I have his nail bat tattooed on my leg I may or may not be biased. Eddie Munson has a special place in my heart because I too love metal music and D&D and fantasy worlds. I too was a freak in high school for my interests so I really understand him. Argyle because he is the definition of the ultimate stoner bestie and I just wanna smoke with him SO BAD ADULT Murray because he’s an amazing matchmaker and a huge asset to the team

My favorite book/season etc: it’s a tie between season three and four because season three finally gave me the bright, fluorescent colors of the 80s, elmax’s friendship, Will the wise, ROBIN. But in contrast, season four was dark, mysterious and scary with so many references to my favorite movies and Eddie was based on my favorite true crime case (that’s still ongoing)

My favorite episode: The Mall Rats, The Hellfire Club, Dear Billy, Papa, The Piggyback

My favorite cast member: Winona Ryder, Joe Keery, Maya Hawke, Joseph Quinn, David Harbour

My favorite ship: Jopper (also a fan of lumax and steddie)

A character I will die defending: Lucas, Eddie,

A character I just can sympathize with: Jason ducking Carver. The entire satanic panic rubs me (a pagan) ALL SORTS OF WRONG.

A character I grew to love: Nancy. I’m not mad at her; I’m mad at the suffer brothers and society for just using her as a plot device to stir up feelings via love triangle shit when she’s a strong woman who don’t need no man she needs Robin

My anti otp: I really can’t think of one outside of Stancy because I hate how Nancy treated him at the breakup scene and I’ve sat on this question for like five minutes so I guess that one

Stoner Hawks being on patrol with him and maybe having a fire quirk (Dabi’s sis blue flames but you know Endevor don’t know that maybe she knows Dabi is her brother and knew that he ran away and never told her dad about it and how often she sees him but n e way she’s a hero did the whole UA thing) and being on patrol on top a building Keigo rolls a joint and moves on in readers direction like “can you spark it?🥺” maybe just smoking maybe some smut

this made me sO soft, like yes stoner hawks being the cutest 🥺 i got a little carried away with it, and somehow it ended up being 2.1k long ( ´◡‿ゝ◡`) thank u sm for requesting, i loved it.

stoner!takami with a todoroki!reader.

summary; in the request.

genre; fluff, smut.

warnings; daddy kink, praise kink, breeding kink, oral (receiving-giving), curse words, idk fucking(? smut in general.

word count; 2.1k

author's note; don't judge me it's my first time writing smut ):

your phone rang in the pocket of your hero costume, the id showing a smiley keigo. despite knowing what was about to happen, you couldn't avoid your own smile. as you answered, the first thing you heard was wind on his side of the line, you sighed, he was probably calling while flying, again.

"one of this days, you're going to crash against a plane" his melodic laugh reached through the speaker. damn, how could you stay mad when he's laughing like that?

"i'm going to assume you're already at our spot, gorgeous" this time you laughed, nervously, takami hated waiting more than anything, and there you were, thirty minutes away from your meeting point. "send me your location, i'm picking you up" and just as fast, he hung up. flying with him was a better idea than running through the city by yourself, therefore, you did as he said.

a giggle escaped your mouth, he had that effect on you, despite of knowing each other for that long. it didn't matter how many times he called you pretty, gorgeous, angel, your face instantly heated up. and he loved it, it gave you a fake innocence, that he sure knew was oly a facade. in less than five minutes, his mighty figure covered the sun above you, looking like that, he could easily be confused by an angel send from heaven.

"i know i'm hot, but you're drooling a bit" takami, the endless teaser.

"let's just go" he picked you up, bridal style, gaining a few curious glares.

your relationship, if you could call it that, had always been a subject of gossip. not you nor him had either confirmed it or deny the rumors about it, truth be told, not even you knew what you were. it was more than friendship, but not as committed as an actual couple. you were used to kiss him, sleep with him, get high with him, and that was enough. there were feelings between, from both parts, but this was the best way. two heroes, in the peak of their careers, had no time for anything else. the ride to your usual vigilance spot was short, hawks flying at a dangerous speed, despite your complete trust in him, you still wondered if he could drop you.

"what took you so long?" he asked, once you were sitting in the edge of the tall building. you sighed, to keep that secret from him was exhausting, at least.

"my brother called".

an awkward silence grew, takami knew you were endeavor's oldest daughter, his pride and joy, wether you liked it or not. obviously he knew your brother had to be endeavor's lost son, touya. what you had kept to yourself was he went now by the name dabi, a faithful follower of the hero killer's ideals.

"is he okay?"

"mhm, he needed money".

keigo wasn't going to tell you this, but every time you said you brother called because he needed something, his blood boiled in his veins. ignoring the fact that he had to stay hidden, for some reason you wouldn't say, to hawks it seemed like he only reached out to you out of material need, meanwhile you were always preocuppied with his well. takami's hand found its way to yours, even wtih gloves you could feel his warmness.

"oh, right, i-i've been saving this for us" he took a small plastic bag out of his pocket, letting you see those green herbs. by the looks, it had to be more expensive than usual. you gasped, in a really cute way, hawks thought. no words were needed, he grindered the pot before rolling a joint. his tongue appeared to seal it, looking straight into your eyes while licking it. he knew exactly what he was doing. "may you do the honors, angel face" a small blue flame igniciate in the tip of your index finger, just as he inhale for the first time.

takami, covered in a cloud of smoke, holding a blunt on his hand, adding that chilled look in his face. was certainly a sight to see.

unspokenly, he handed it over to you. with a smile on you face, you hit it for the first time. for a while, non of you talked, just enjoying each other's company, in fact, those moments with keigo were you favorite, you didn't have to worry for anything besides him. and he thought the same, there, he could stop being hawks, he could be just keigo, your long term friend, leaving all the responsabilities of being a hero in the ground. with you, he felt like flying.

by pure coincidence, he caught you looking at his profile. the moonlight made you have a different kind of glow, like a fairy, he thought. almost withouth realizing, he leaned over to you, his lips seeking yours rather desperately. his hand wondered to your hair, finding its place in the back of your neck, pulling you closer and making sure you weren't escaping. his experimented tongue made its way into your mouth, going through every place he already knew like it was the first time. he tasted like smoke. once he knew you were on the same page, he pushed you back on solid ground, laying on top of you. a moan left your lips, drowned by his own mouth, when his still dressed hips impacted against you.

every touch was being enhanced by the effect of the pot. he pulled away, breaking the moment. he needed to look at you, your lust filled eyes, your half opened mouth. it was enough to get him hard in his pants. with a quick movement, he took out his gloves, fastly moving to take off your complicated hero costume. maybe it was because he was blown out of his mind, or he was just to eager to see your naked body, but he had a serious struggle doing it, making a soft giggle leave your throat.

"you could help me instead of laughing at me" he whined, jokingly upset.

"and miss the hawks having troubles with a bra? i don't think so" that seemed to made him even more anxious, you knew he was done when a small "finally" was whispered.

between laughs, giggles and smirks, he got back on top of yours. he liked to feel you naked underneath him, having you to his complete disposal, and not losing a single item of his clothes. you weren't letting him enjoy the moment to much, a girl has her need, and touching his work out abs was certainly a need. you removed his shirt, smiling at his messy hair.

he started to leave a trace of kisses from your lips to you r collarbone, licking, biting, leaving small dark marks on your skin. just at that, you became a moaning mess, there was something so dirty about takami marking your body.

"babygirl, i haven't even started" with that, you closed your eyes, giving into pleasure as his kisses got lower and lower. when he got to your breast, your nipples were already hard, expecting to feel his wet mouth any moment now. but that wasn't all that happened, almost at the same time, you felt a hand opening its way to your drenched cunt. "look at that, you're already so wet from my mouth only".

his tongue circle you nip at a killing pace, while two fingers found their way inside you without any warning. so thight, he said, his mind already thinking on how well you could take his cock. with his thumb in the perfect position, he started massaging your swollen clit. all you could do was melt in his touch. his free hand reached to the last bit of the blunt, which rested at a safe distance. he got up, leaving you kneeled in front of him.

"open your mouth, princess" despite his loving tone, he wasn't asking, so you did as you were told and watched him hit the last of the joint, keeping as much smoke as he could beofre leaning towards you. with a kiss, he shared it with you, entangling your tongues. he licked your lips, getting back up, his hand resting on the waist of his pants. "you're gonna be a good girl, aren't you, princess?" he got his hips so close to your face that your mouth watered.

"yes, daddy" you knew calling him that was a trigger. he took out his fat dick outside his pants, so hard that it was starting to hurt. his hand placed on the back of your head, guiding you to your objective.

as soon as your lips wrapped around the tip of his cock, he let out a unsually deep growl. takami never lasted that long, and being under the inffluence of weed wasn't helping. he couldn't even look down at you, the sight of your angel face, looking so fucking pretty while sucking him off, he was barely controlling himself from your noises. you struggled, gagging every once in a while, but never stopped, he loved to see the tears in your eyes. when he felt close, his dick twitch in your mouth, you tasted the precum coming out of him. before doing it, he pulled your hair back, avoiding it.

"my baby, you do it so good, do you think you deserve a reward?" to those words, you couldn't help but moan. his hand held your chin, making you look straight into his eyes.

"please, daddy, please eat me out" he felt like losing his mind hearing you begging like that, who was him to deny it. a kiss left in your lips, before kneeling down facing your wet, juicy, cunt. thanks for the meal, he thought.

his tongue worked wonders. the second he met your needy clit, you were actually watching the stars. the ability he had, going between your folds, sucking just in the right spot, fucking you with his tongue. he had you a screaming and drooling mess in a minute.

"daddy! oh god, yes! there, keep going, please! fuck me, yes!" he loved hearing you going crazy because of him, he loved being able to do as he pleased with you. he could hear your moans forever.

he knew you too well, instantly he could tell you were close to cum, he wasn't going to let that happen, he wanted you to cum in his dick, breaking your back, leaving you so fucked up you wouldn't be able to walk afterwards. feeling him leave you on the edge was torture.

"are you so desperate for me, little bird?" he crawled to you, placing his hips on top of yours. you weren't even thinking when he kissed you, loving the thought of you tasting yourself. you wrapped your hands around his neck, reaching his back, if there was something he liked was you scratching his back until it bleed.

with a slow, gentle hursh, he deepend inside you, admiring the image of you closing your eyes at the pain. even prepared and lubed, he was just too big for you. as he felt you adptaing, his pace got faster and harder, his hands grabbed tightly into your hips, probably leaving bruises afterwards. in less than a minute, he already had a constant pace inside you, hitting your spot with every thurst. you whimpers and his groans mixed in the air. one of his hands travelled to your neck, applying a little pressure on it while his thumb fitted in your mouth. that was the view he wanted to see for his whole life.

"you're such a slut, baby girl, but you're my slut, right?" you sucked his thumb, your mind couldn't form coherent words and his finger didn't let you speak. "oh yes, cum with me, princess, cum for daddy" his words were like music to your ears.

the orgasm you repressed for a while felt so close, when you finally reached it, your walls clenched around his dick even harder than before, a scream of pleasure filling the atmosphere. not long after, you felt his warm cum exploding inside you, his grab hardened and a moan left his lips. he stayed there for a while, retaking his breath.his wings served as a wall for the cold wind running. finally, he retired from you, laying at your side while hugging you with one of his arms.

you looked at him, despite not being your actuall boyfriend, he loved you as much as you loved him. though tired, the fuzzy feeling inside you didn't stop, you wondered if it was just you being still high as a rocket, or if that's what love felt like.

White Chocolate (2018) - Review

TW/CW: This movie is filled with racism and white supremacist comments, some about keeping bloodlines pure. I speak to those things in this review, so I’m just stating that now.

I have a rule about spoilers, I don’t like them and I do my best to avoid them in my reviews, however because this movie is absolute trash and not worth any consideration, I’m airing the whole thing out.

I was once again looking for a romance movie to watch, to get some cheep feels in and came across this one. Now I know I should have scrolled passed it after doing a big eye roll cause I hate food references when it comes to Black People, especially Black Women/Femmes and I dislike it even more in reference to interracial couples. The thing is though, I ignored the part of me that is turned off by weird and cheesy “Swirl” ish and thought maybe it would just be an obviously bad, but potentially cute “Swirl” movie. Not saying my thought was that much better, I just knew what to expect if it went that route. So let me tell you want I got instead...

A young girl comes down the stairs one morning (I think it was morning) and asks her dad how he and her mother met, thus starting the flashback to 2005 when her father Rick (Anthony Napoli) was in his senior year of college. Back then he was a big stoner and seemed to only have 2 friends, Chase and Tony (Chris Leone and Scott Brandon) who were also potheads. The three of them are sitting outside on the collage campus that first day of senior year and Rick sees Anara Tomai (Kali Hawk) this beautiful Black Woman. His ex had just broken up with him, so he was free to look around. He acknowledges her beauty and points it out to his friends. Now the 30 seconds that took place after that acknowledgement is where I should have turned off the movie and said a complete “hell nah!”

His friends proceed to make racist stereotypical jokes about her and fried chicken among other gross remarks and how Rick should date someone of his “own color.” Rick gives a glorified “I don’t see color” speech and goes on to ask her out anyway. After that scene comes more racist food jokes, mostly made by Tony and he even pulls out a n*gga.

I don’t want to give a full play by play, so let’s just get into the spoiled meat and potatoes of why this movie is trash, even though I’ve already given you enough reason to believe me already.

One of my biggest gripes with the movie and mainly Rick’s character is that he clearly likes Anara and the fact that she’s a Black Woman, however he continued throughout the entire film to stay friends with Tony in particular, who consistently made racist comments, not just “jokes” about her and even turned out to be a whole white supremacist. (He showed up one day with a white pride tattoo, so I made no assumptions there.) I’m sorry, but your friend can’t just make a racist “joke” about your girlfriend and after you weakly call him out on it, y’all go back to smoking a bowl. That happened so frequently with Rick, where people in his life would make horrible comments about Black people and Anara in general and he would barely even call it out, but continue to hang out with those people. He did though kind of agree to move out after graduation in a argument he had with his Father who also held hella racist opinions. He didn’t step away from Tony though until Tony called Anara the n-word with a hard r and he went and punch him in the face for it. Basically Rick is the worst and I don’t see why Anara kept him around, let alone fell for him, because I would have thought the company he kept was proof enough to stay several miles away from him at all times.

Don’t want to waste much time on Tony, so I will just continue with what we already know and that is, that he’s complete trash. I don’t know how he had any friends and everything that came out of his mouth seemed intentionally gross and harmful. (I think someone who had a part in making his character was acting out a sick fantasy, one where “I can’t say it in real life, so I’ll say it in a movie.”)

Now let’s talk Chase real quick. Although he wasn’t as blatantly foul as Tony he was still chillin on that fence. He did faintly called some things out, but at the same time he said the N-Word a few times and got in on some of those chicken and collard greens jokes himself, so he’s not to be trusted either. We don’t trust any of the white people in this movie. Not even Rick’s sister who was probably the least worst out of them all.

The ending didn’t really make sense or I just didn’t agree. Rick seemingly let’s his dad and Tony back into his life after a year away from them, simply because they’ve now had “changes of hearts.” Absolutely ridiculous. The final scene is Rick and his daughter talking about how romantic or whatever that story was and then the daughter asking why her mother left them. Rick says that’s a whole other story and makes a suggestive face at the camera, leading us to believe they may have had intentions to make a horrible follow up film. The ending (but really whole movie) aslo gave clearly expressed misogynoir being passed down to a child, more grossness. Now I hope they don’t ever try to a sequal cause it amazes me that this one even got greenlit in the first place.

To touch on a point I made earlier, this movie felt like a small portion of it was aiming to make a statement about pushing through other people’s prejudices in the name of love and the rest was to air out some things you’re not really allowed to say in general public spaces. I’d say 40/60. There was just too many racial stereotypes, too much racism in general and white supremacist talking points that didn’t get correctly checked, for me not to believe my “theory” to be true.

White Chocolate had no narrator/narration, looked like it was actually shot in 2005 (in a bad way) and not in 2018 and thought it could prop itself up on this interracial romance, perseverance bit, but had too many wonky hard “r’s” and bloodline comments to ever be on a tolerable, let alone decent, level. It could have been satirical, it could have been joking commentary or it could have just been 100% serious, none of which worked for them. Anything it attempted to be other than racist, gross and terrible, failed.

Bonus Quick Thoughts:

Anara was unsurprisingly sexualized a lot in this movie, to the point where it seemed like it was oddly coming from all sides. Like first she wants to wait till marriage and then two seconds after they get engaged, she turns into a fiend and becomes the dominate one.

Rick, although he ends up changing his mind, was scary and wrong for even thinking about bringing Anara into a violent space such as a gathering with his racist family. (Just another example of him not really being a stand up guy.)

Rick deserved to get punched, just not always for the exact reasons he actually got beat up for.

Who buys an album where the song is just the rapper saying the n-word over and over again? They also played a lot of GTA for some reason, so the whole thing was weird and not exactly chill.

I’m slightly bummed that Chris Leone who had a small part as a minion in The Girl Next door, wound up here. Just an unfortunate character arch for him as an actor.

I just want to inappropriately ask Kali Hawk how big that check was cause I don’t know if you could pay me enough to sit through this level of bs for the lawls!

The cast and crew all seemed to be mostly made up of two families, from what I could gather and the majority of them only seem to have this movie on their resume, which I’m almost positive will not score them any future call-backs, unless they’re once again putting a movie together themselves.

ok hear me out

dabihawks flower shop / tattoo parlour au right?? but kinda reversed???

like hawks is a tattoo artist but he himself doesn’t have any tattoos except the red wings on his back and he has this whole soft boi/stoner thing going on

dabi works at his mom’s flower shop

(he took it over while she was in the hospital and since she divorced that dumpster fire and got released they kinda run it together)

and he is absolutely covered in tattoos and piercings and definetly does not look like someone who works in a flower shop and like;;;;;;; enjoys it

but he loves working there!!!!

and one day hawks comes by to sketch some flowers for some new designs or sth

and it would have been like maybe a one time thing if it weren’t for the fact that hawks just instantly fell in love upon entering the shop

because the guy that works there????is so attractive???

he just sort of waltzes in there and goes “i’ma skech here for a while if that’s okay.btw your tattoos are hella dope”

so hawks goes there more often and dabi doesn’t mind because he gets to watch this cute guy’s even cuter, concentrated face

and they always have a little chat with not so subtle flirting

they talk about dumb shit too though like

hawks: hey do u like mean girls dabi: do u,,,do u mean the movie or like,,,,actual mean girls,,? hawks:. ,,,,,,,both, i guess? i love my idiotic bastard children

they never really talk about that many personal things but somehow they just click

wich is why dabi doesn’t know that my boy hawks is a tattoo artist bc c’mon;;;;;;; this crackhead wannabe soft boi is supposed to permanently ink ppl???? yeeeaaahhh nope

plus he always smells of coffee so dabi just kinda sorta assumed that hawks was a barista in some cute coffee shop not that he was smelling hawks everytime he got the chance because what kinda creep would do that definetly not dabi

fast forward a month or two

dabi wants to get some flowers tattooed in honour of his mom (she didn’t die, he just loves her and is proud of her for getting her shit back together) and because flowers have always calmed/comforted him and reminded him that not everything in this world is ugly

so he goes to his usual tattoo arist and good friend and explains what he wants from him

and the guy’s like “i can totally do it but if u want something special for this one, there’s this guy i know who’s been getting really good at flower tattoos lately for whatever reason??” so he shows dabi some of this other artist’s work

and holy shit it’s really fucking good

so dabi gets the adresse and zooms over there ang guess who he sees there, lazily flipping through a magazine because buisness is slow that day and his lunch break isn’t for another hour

it’s hawks !!!

and their conversation kinda just goes

dabi: what are u doing here?? hawks: i work here???? dabi: so u,,,,don’t work at a coffee shop?? hawks: no,,,why would you think that? dabi: because you always smell like you bathe in coffee beans? hawks: yeah that’s because I’m tired

to make this short : they talk about the tattoo dabi wants to get and hawks really is pretty good at what he does so dabi gets his tattoo done by hawks and after that they only become even closer and they live happily ever after talking shit about some of their customers’ outrageous demands

#i might add on to this #but this has been in my drafts for forever #and i finally wanted to post it #btw im not a writer in case you haven't noticed #i love those two dumbasses #they're so;;;#dumb #i just want them to be happy #dabihawks #hotwings #headcanon #bnha dabi #bnha hawks #flowershop au #tattoo artist au #boku no hero academia #my hero academia

Hiii ^^ I would like a match-up, please? I am lanky bean at the height of 5'7 and age of 18! I am cis female and pansexual. When I'm not doing all the chores, I am watching anime and cartoons. I have two siblings & I am the youngest ;_; but I totally have middle child syndrome! I may wear all black and have long black hair but I love all things cute! I'm extremely shy and quiet and soft-spoken to the point people tell me to speak up constantly, but I am the pettiest person you will ever meet xDD

Match-Up #25

I match you with Hawks!

headcanon|scenario|imagine|match-up

-You embody the person he needs by his side! He lives for your petty attitude. The only time it becomes a problem is during a couple squabble. At which he also becomes petty with a side of sassy.

-Despite this, Keigo really likes you! He finds it oh so confusing that your style can contradict itself so easily. This doesnt mean he doesnt like it though ^_^ When he first met you, he figured you were into some hardcore stuff until he came to your apartment and went in your room. It was an overload of cute trinkets, stuffed animals, and decor.

-He figures that has something to do with you being so shy sometimes. I mean, you like cute things so that's why you're so cute right? That's his thought process. Anyhow, he tries to help you come out of your soft spokeness a bit more. He doesnt mind being the louder and more rowdy one in your relationship, but sometimes he wont there because of work so he wants you to speak up for yourself louder.

-With you being 5'7 and on the lanky side, Hawks feels the need to be a bit more protective of you. He's constantly bringing jackets to keep you warm when you go out, or wrapping his wings around you in crowded areas to keep you from being stressed or ran into by accident.

-Dont worry about the chores because once he gets off his ass he'll help you. However, you gotta give him the word first! Otherwise, he'll just assume you want to do chores without help. After chores, you two settle down to watch anime and cartoons. He has no problems with this because his sense of humor ranges from a college stoner to a 5 year old boy.

-Please introduce him to your siblings! He wants to get closer to you by bonding with them! Plus, he secretly likes kids!

Meet Wyatt Russell, Hollywoods Most and Least Likely Leading Man

Wyatt Russell walks into a room and it’s almost too easy to make assumptions about him. Luckily, he upends nearly all of them.

The star of AMC’s big-swing summer series, Lodge 49, which debuts Aug. 6, towers a few inches above a tall-and-thin six feet, with hair down to his shoulders, a scruffy beard, and a languid surfer beach drawl to complete the stereotype of the SoCal beatnik—which he plays very well, but hardly fills.

No, this is the son of Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn, and his foray into Hollywood would seem a formality had the 32-year-old actor not spent the majority of his life rejecting the family business in pursuit of a career as a hockey player.

When we meet in Beverly Hills to discuss his new series, which is also his first leading role, the person we encounter is not the strung-out stoner his looks might betray, nor is it the entitled heir to Hollywood royalty you might expect from a person with as much celluloid history in his bloodstream.

Instead, the Wyatt Russell we meet is as wide-eyed and enthusiastic as a breakthrough actor experiencing the spoils of Hollywood for the first time, but with the self-awareness and intelligence of a person who knows how brutal the industry can actually be.

Maybe that’s because, for all the ways he’s seen his mother, father, and half-siblings Kate and Oliver Hudson navigate the business, he’s also churned through perhaps the only industry more ruthless: professional sports. Before he started seriously pursuing a career in acting eight years ago, he had spent over a decade as a promising hockey goalie, until an injury set him on a new path.

It’s perhaps fitting, then, that Russell’s debut as a leading man is in a TV series as unconventional as Lodge 49. As Russell tells it, he wouldn’t have it any other way.

The official logline for Lodge 49 describes it as a “modern fable,” centered on Russell’s character Dud, a lost soul trying to rebuild his life after a surfing injury, the death of his father, and crippling debt have left him homeless. One day, while spelunking for treasures with a metal detector on the beach, he discovers a lost ring that takes him to the doorstep of Lodge 49, “a dusty fraternal order which offers cheap beer and strange alchemical philosophies.”

So what you have is this unusual mix of a series about this eternal optimist, Dud, who is either blind to the fact that he’s hitting rock bottom or manifests a trampoline from optimistic delusion to bounce him back up again. He lands at a Masonic Lodge, of sorts, that provides a lifeline yet espouses just enough woo-woo philosophy to make you fear: Is Dud in a cult?

Nonetheless, for all the talk about this six-foot surfer boy with Hollywood lineage in the starring role, it’s because Russell so intrinsically telegraphs a glass-half-full kind of gumption that the tonal gymnastics of the show sticks the landing. More, that it still feels at home on AMC, a network that has pretty much defined its brand in dark, disturbing drama: Mad Men, Breaking Bad, or The Walking Dead.

Ever exuberant, Russell sees a throughline.

“Everybody starts from an honest place of who they are: Don Draper, Walter White, and Dud,” he says. “It may be easier to utilize a character who has darkness in them because you can find a lot of interesting qualities in those people. It’s harder to find the interesting qualities in optimism, because it’s not something that we necessarily gravitate towards in our everyday lives, especially in our 24/7 news cycle where, constantly, what grabs our attention is negativity.”

So bless Dud’s gumption. And, really, Russell’s, too.

This isn’t a profile about the little boy who grew up on a movie set, and whose scrapbook of school-play star turns hinted that he’d one day follow his parents’ footsteps all the way to the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In fact, he tells me, despite his family’s careers, Russell only recently “after many years of thinking it wasn’t,” began to think of acting as “a fantastic way to make a living.”

He lived in Santa Monica until he was 15 before moving to Vancouver to play hockey, at the advice of coaches who saw Russell’s potential. Kurt and Goldie moved with him. (The reasons that Russell emerged a well-adjusted Hollywood kid should be apparent.) Cute side story: Kurt Russell once told The New York Times that he took the role as coach of the heroic 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team in Disney’s Miracle in homage to Wyatt’s passion.

After two years of playing college hockey at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, he headed to Europe to go pro, first in Germany and then in the Netherlands. His stories from that time are about as wild as you’d expect from a guy in his twenties touring tertiary European cities with busloads of hockey players. “ I lived with a heroin addict named Harm," he told The Ringer last year. “That was the life experience, watching somebody shoot up heroin while you’re eating potatoes he made."

A series of groin injuries and a broken hip, exacerbated by cramped bus rides and the general body wear-and-tear accrued by a goalie, brought an early end to his hockey career. It dropped Russell smack-dab in the throes of a mid-life crisis a good 20 to 30 years before most men find themselves at a similar crossroads: “Alright. What now?”

While recuperating from his injuries in Groningen, Netherlands, he binged movies. Maybe, he thought, he’d direct. He had acted in one film before throwing himself into hockey—a scene in his father’s film Escape from L.A. when he was 10—and, more than a decade later, still remembered that he didn’t like being in front of the camera.

“I liked playing hockey and being a goalie because it was numbers related,” he says. “You’re either the best or you’re not. It’s numbers. You have the best goals-against average and save the most pucks and win the most games, or you don’t. It’s not subjective. So going into this world, I didn’t like the subjectivity of it because it meant that other people were going to put what they thought about you onto you.”

Consider his decision to try his hand at auditioning, then, a whim—albeit the most epic of whims, one perhaps buoyed by his family’s pedigree. His first audition was for a role in Captain America: The First Avenger. He didn’t get that one, but he started getting others. There was Law & Order: L.A., Cowboys & Aliens, and his first big breakout, a part in 22 Jump Street.

Early on, though, there was a pattern. In 2010’s High School, he played “Drug PSA Stoned Teenager.” In This Is 40 he was “Flirty Hockey Player.” As his roles expanded, the “type” he was cast as didn’t necessarily follow suit, whether it’s a spaced-out pitcher in Richard Linklater’s Everybody Wants Some!! or a backpacker roped into a video-game horror show in an episode of Black Mirror. Lodge 49, too, sees Russell working in that mold again.

But take a closer look at those projects he’s been cast in, and what’s impressive is not so much that he’s been routinely cast as a surfer-stoner-laid-back-bro, but that each time he has, it has been in wildly diferent genres.

In the last year, he’s starred in Blaze, a biopic of country musician directed by Ethan Hawke, finished work on Overlord, a World War II/sci-fi hybrid produced by J.J. Abrams, and was cast in The Woman in the Window, a thriller adapted by Tracy Letts, directed by Joe Wright, and starring Amy Adams. Then there’s Lodge 49, a prestige cable drama that escapes tonal definition.

“It’s been 7 or 8 years since I started doing it,” Russell says, of acting. “For the first time now I probably just last year felt like I might be able to do certain things.”

He remembers getting cast in High School as a hippie-like stoner because he knew how to play guitar.

“From that, you gain confidence to say, ‘Well, I did that, I can do a different version of it,’” he says. “I found myself always trying to find the different version of the guy you had done before. Because that’s the way it works. Somebody sees you in something that they like you in, and they go, ‘Oh he would be great in this.’ It’s up to the actor to give it dimension. Inside the dimension you give it, sometimes somebody else sees an aspect of that dimension and says, ‘I bet you they could do that.’”

In the early episodes of Lodge 49, there are distinct themes that emerge. Russell’s favorite is the way that the show honors the blue-collar population of Long Beach: the plumbers, pool servicemen, and trade workers who give the area life. More, it shows that the emotional weight stressing a family business can be as important, and as volatile, as the finances.

The character of Dud doesn’t just miss his father, he misses the normalcy that the family business—pool cleaning—provided. Russell’s own family business operates from an obvious extreme in relation to Dud’s, but he understands, especially in these last few years, the comfort that comes from normality.

Yes, Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn’s actor son can refer to the family business as normal.

“It did seem normal to me because they never made what they did abnormal,” he says. “They never made themselves abnormal. They never looked at themselves like, ‘I’m special because I do this.’”

“The normalcy of who we are came from the core values of who my parents were when they grew up and transferred it into their parenting styles for the way we are. It’s definitely not a normal thing, to do this. People can get caught up in it. It’s hard not to sometimes.”

When we talk, Russell is wrapping up a week that had him travel back and forth between Los Angeles and New York four times. He’s engaged to Search Party scene-stealer Meredith Hagner, whom he met while shooting the indie Folk Hero & Funny Guy. And he’s promoting his first leading role, an achievement some might rule destiny given who his parents are, but that others might rule unlikely, given the unique story of the actor who sits before me. An actor who still can’t help comparing things to hockey.

“There’s almost nothing else that’s truly numbers-related,” he says. “That game was. That’s what special about sports in a way. It’s an equalizer. This is not that. I didn’t think about ‘I’m going to be a leading man,’ because I just wanted to do something that made me as happy as hockey did.”

Now, he’s doing it.
