There were a lot of things Mike hated in life.

The demogorgon, and how it had essentially destroyed his life.

Brenner, and the madhouse laboratory El had survived.

How each and every one of his friends now did something weird--were weird, because flashing lights or fireworks or some stupid tune a toy horse played dragged up memories that made their eyes flat and faces hollow.

Most of all though, Mike hated how much they relied on Steve.

There was no reason he should be the person to call when it started pouring and no one wanted to bike home from AV.

Steve wasn’t Nancy, or Jonathan, or a parent--he wasn’t even dating anyone related to any of the Party anymore so what excuse did he have to keep hanging around?

(Even if Jonathan was always working, and Nancy was always busy with some club or homework, and everyone’s parents all seemed to be in a race of who could get back to normal the fastest…)

They should at least try to get a hold of other people, instead of constantly going to Steve first.

“Why?” Dusitn had scoffed at him the last time this had happened, feeding quarters into a phone and staring at Mike like he was the one being unreasonable. “I’m not gonna waste money just to hear your sister tell us no again when we all know Steve will do it.”

Which was perhaps the most infuriating part of it all.

That Steve would do it.

Show up and help them, even if he bitched the whole time.

Hell, Steve Harrington knew more about Mike’s life offhand than Nancy did, and that made him want to punch a wall more days than it didn’t. Why the hell was Steve so involved?

It was stupid.

Weird, even! They weren’t friends, (even if Dustin and Max and El of all people said the opposite) he wasn’t being paid to babysit, (Mike had double checked; going round to ask Ma Henderson and Mrs. Sinclair, only to get an earful of how wonderful Steve was from both.) he had no reason to hang around!

It didn’t make sense that Steve could be harassed into picking them up from school.

Would take them to get ice cream, or hand over extra quarters for the arcade. He even gave out advice like some kind of--brother that Mike had never wanted.

Above all?

Mike hated that when he needed someone, the number he punched in on automatic was Steve’s.

“I need you to come get me.” He said into the receiver, mad at himself and the world, but mostly mad that beyond the normal amount of squawking Steve did, he shut up and came.

Drove up in his rich boy car, stepping out and herding Mike into it like the rain hadn’t already seeped into his bones.

“You wanna tell me why you snuck into a bar two towns over?” Steve asked, long after Mike had slung himself into the passenger seat, arms crossed defensively over his chest.

“No.”

One of Steve’s hands went right to his hair, running through it before adjusting the mess he’d just made.

It was a nervous habit, and Mike hated that he knew that too.

“Okay, well.” Steve’s hand fell back to the steering wheel, clenching tight around it. “Next time you want to do something dumb could you at least come talk to me about it beforehand?”

“What the hell would that do?” Mike bitched, staring firmly out of the window.

“Not waste my gas for starters.” Steve bitched right back. “But I dunno man, we could have taken some bats and gone and wailed on cars in the junkyard and talked or some shit, not--whatever this all was.”

‘This all’ was accompanied by a wave of his hand, indicating not just the bar Mike had been standing in front of, but his general sopping wet state.

“You’d actually go to the junkyard with me?” Mike challenged, doubtful.

Steve made a face. “Did you lose your hearing in there? I just said--.”

“Why?” Mike interrupted. “Why the fuck would you come out with me?”

Matching his entire aggressive tone, Steve said; “Because it’s better than trying to sneak into the one local gay bar when you’re barely fourteen, Michael.”

And that?

Steve being oddly aware of shit he really shouldn’t have?

Mike hated that too.

“You knew what the bar was?” He asked, his voice coming out much smaller than he intended.

“Everyone knows what that bar is, except it’s more of a biker bar than a gay bar.” Steve shot back--which did actually explain about ten different questions Mike had about the place. “Also, language you little shit.”

Under his breath, Steve continued in a muttered; “I swear I’m going to start carrying around soap.”

“You cuss more than we do.” Mike responded, and if his own voice was a little strangled as he fought back the sudden swell of tears, then that was between him and God.

He was not crying in front of Steve Harrington, he outright refused.

“The point I’m making is that there are way better bars to sneak into. That one’s not nearly as welcoming as people make it out to be, probably because they’re sick of all the rumors.”

Steve seemed to realize what he was implying because he quickly added; “Not that you should be sneaking into any bars at all!”

“You’re not my mom.” Mike’s voice turned wet as he lost his battle with his throat, voice cracking as he failed to choke the tears back.

“No shit Wheeler.” Steve said, and at least he was good enough not to call attention to Mike’s crying.

If he had, Mike was pretty sure he’d just up and die of embarrassment, right there.

“I don’t get why you care.” He muttered, angrily swiping at his eyes.

“I didn’t keep you alive this long just so you could die of something stupid.” Steve countered easily.

Which was kinda fair, if you thought about it.

Mike very much did not want to think about it.

Any of it.

Ever.

“Are you gonna tell my parents?” He asked after a painfully long moment.

Long enough that Steve had begun fiddling with the radio, trying to find a station as they drove back that wasn’t wailing country or gospel music.

“I’m not a narc, so no.”

“Not about the bar.”

Now Steve just looked confused.

Probably because he was, because he was without a doubt the stupidest almost adult Mike knew.

(Not that he could say that out loud--last time he had, Max had made one of her pissy faces and then El got mad because Max was, which led to a break up, which led to Mike having to beg his way back into his girlfriend’s good graces while explaining that he hadn’t meant it like that.

“How did you mean it then?” Max demanded, and Mike wasn’t sure how he managed to dodge that entire conversation but he had, on grounds that untangling his own emotions regarding stupid Steve made him want to pull his hair out and scream.)

“What about then?”

“You know. Don’t make me say it.” Mike absolutely didn’t plead, even if it did sort of, kind of, sound like pleading.

Steve flicked his eyes away from the road to give one long, weird look at Mike. The same one he gave Dustin when he went off on a rant about Cerebro or Lucas when he started discussing the stats of different D&D weapons.

Unlike those times, Steve’s face cleared.

“Oh.” He said, blinking, and Mike could practically see the light bulb flash above his head.

Then;

“Nah.”

Mike waited.

And waited.

And kept waiting as Steve went back to searching through radio channels, as if that was the end of the conversation.

It couldn't be the end of this conversation.

Not when this was the part that was eating Mike alive.

He didn’t know if this was Steve repressing it on purpose or if this was what he had to look forward to for the rest of his life if he kept trying to figure his own head out, but either way, he knew he had a choice to make.

To let the unspoken part of today die quietly. Go unsaid, and remain unsaid, for all eternity--or he could let it out.

Shove the “gay” part of “gay bar” in Steve’s stupid, jock face.

Make him acknowledge it, even if it got Mike kicked out of the car, and who cared if it did?

Steve wasn’t the person who should have picked him up anyway.

The anger climbed higher and higher in his chest, tears and rage combining until Mike spat it all out, furious.

“You’re not going to ask if I’m gay?”

Steve didn’t turn to face him, but Mike saw his eyebrow cocking anyway, given how he was currently glaring a hole in the side of the older teen’s head.

“Do you want me to?”

“No.” Mike bit out automatically. “Yes. I don’t know!”

Steve’s hand found its way back into his hair.

“Okay then.” Steve paused, clearly fishing for something to say.

Gleefully, Mike watched him struggle.

“Do you like guys?” He managed finally, looking like he was navigating a minefield more than just talking.

“I don’t know.” Mike stressed, sinking lower in his seat. “Why do you think I was at the bar? I was trying to figure it out!”

“Honestly I assumed this was some sort of stupid dare--but!” Steve held up a finger, before Mike could interrupt, “But let’s--shit, hold on, I had a speech for this but I kinda wasn’t expecting to use it this soon. Um.”

“You have a speech for me being gay?”

“Not for you.” Steve rolled his eyes. “For--in general! It was an in general, just in case speech!”

He rounded on Mike, for longer than the younger was comfortable with given Steve took his eyes off the road to do it. “Okay--you can like boobies, you can like, uh--not boobies, and that’s fine! It’s all totally fine!”

“You are not making it sound like it’s fine.” Mike said, feeling like he’d been taken out by hearing Steve say the word “boobies.”

Gross, gross, gross.

“Well it is.” Steve said, in a tone that felt like he was two seconds from adding in a smarmy ‘so there!’ at the end.

“But I’m dating El.” Mike whined, which really, was both the heart of the matter and the eye of the storm that had been growing in his head for months now. “I can’t be gay if I like her.”

“Don’t you guys break up and get together like four times a week?”

“No, that's Max and Lucas, El and I are stable.” Mike scoffed. “Or we--we were stable.”

Before he started to have thoughts about people that weren't his girlfriend.

Or women.

“Stable for being in middle school, sure.” Steve snorted. “You don’t just have to like one or the other you know. You can like dudes and chicks at the same time.”

Which Mike did not know, on account of being fourteen.

He did his absolute damndest not to show that realization, instead adding that to the list of reasons why he hated Steve Harrington too.

Steve shouldn't be the one teaching him about who you could like!

“The point is that who you end up loving isn’t a problem.” Steve finally looked back to the road. “Other people might be an issue, and those people we can punch in the face so long as the cops aren’t looking, which isn’t part of the speech so let’s not tell people I said that part, but whatever you do choose, there’s nothing wrong with you.”

Steve’s voice went firm, as he apparently recalled his speech or something close enough to it because his next words sounded a little rehearsed. “You have people who are here for you, no matter what. Okay?”

Oh God, Mike was crying again.

He wanted to punch Steve in his stupid face.

Wanted to hold onto the fury he'd built inside himself. Thrash around, throw himself out of the car, get away from the emotions that felt too big for his chest to contain.

Instead he felt it all break on Steve's acceptance. On word's he didn't know he needed to hear until they'd been spoken, and sniffed out a quiet; “Okay.”

Steve of course had to take it too far by reaching over and patting his knee, which they both regretted judging by how quickly Steve took his hand back and the face Mike made at his hand--but it…

It was appreciated, even amongst all Mike's rage.

Steve was appreciated.

Not that Mike would ever, on pain of death, tell him that.

Neither said a word for a while, Steve finally landing on a radio that was playing some Top 40 hit, Tears for Fears singing about ruling the world while Mike found himself trying to rebuild his own once again, tired of it having shattered so many times over.

At least he finally felt better, even if he refused to admit Steve was the reason for it.

He wasn’t quite done though.

There was a piece Steve had skipped over, that Mike felt was critically important, if only because it was partly the reason he was having thoughts about being gay in the first place.

He had to know if Steve saw it too.

That it wasn’t just him and his stupid head, making up things that weren’t there.

“Hey Steve?”

“Yeah?”

“Who was the speech for?”

Steve sighed.

“Rule one of the whole queer thing Wheeler, you don’t out other people.”

Like there were written rules or something.

(Maybe there were, it wasn't like Mike knew.)

“Was it Will?” Mike asked, and pretended like he didn’t desperately want the answer to be yes.

Steve didn’t say a thing, but the fact he nearly took the car off the road was a pretty solid answer in itself.

“We’re not playing guessing games about other people’s sexualites!” He yelped, hands gripping the steering wheel as Mike felt a wave of relief crash through him.

Will was--maybe, possibly, also--queer too.

Which didn’t make this any better but it--wasn’t the not preferred outcome, either.

(It wasn’t just Mike struggling alone, trying to figure out if his best friend wanted to be more than that, if El was breaking up with him and more and more because she wanted to be less than a girlfriend, if things were changing and he would have no one--)

“I’m not out here picking Will up from a gay bar dipshit, I’m picking you up, and this is your reminder that next time, you should just come talk to me!” Steve ranted.

Mike snorted.

He absolutely hated Steve Harrington, but--

“Fine.” He said, talking so low he could barely be heard. “I will.”

--maybe Mike did have someone in his corner after all.

Even if it was just Steve.

xXx

Bonus:

“Between you and me, that kid is gayer than a two dollar bill.”

“Wow Robin,” Steve teased, “Isn’t that like, a slur or whatever?”

He snickered when she rolled her eyes and threw a roll of stickers his way.

“I’m just saying. Did you see the way he was looking at you when you were showing off your stupid biceps?” Robin said, nudging her shoulder into Steve’s. “Will’s gonna have a rude awakening later if he hasn’t already.”

Steve nudged her back, but kept his gaze on the Party as they trooped their way from Family Video to the arcade next door, the realization that they now had connections for free rentals making them downright gleeful.

Will was the last one in, and Steve watched him hurry so as to not be left behind.

He didn’t like to worry about the dipshits, but Robin was just putting voice to a thought Steve knew he wasn’t the first person to have.

And if he noticed it, then it didn't exactly bode well as being kept a secret.

“Should we like…talk to him about that?” He asked after a long moment, turning to face Robin.

“Us?” She pointed at herself, before turning her finger on Steve. “Why us?”

“Well you’re into girls.” He gave her a pointed look, glad that the store was empty of everyone but them so he could actually voice all this. “And I’m fine with it.”

“Yeah I’m sure he wants to know you’re fine with it.” Robin taunted, but she had her thinking face on, eyes out to the middle distance. “I barely know him. You barely know him--he’s the quietest out of all your kids.”

“They’re not my kids.” Steve argued automatically. “They're like a weird cross between shitty siblings and that kid in your class who never leaves you alone.”

A fact Steve no longer took for granted, even if he made it sound like the worst thing ever.

“I just think it’d be nice if he knew that he had people in his corner, you know? Who supported him and shit.”

“Steve, you compared my crush to a muppet, that wasn’t supportive.” Robin countered, but it too was on automatic.

Softer she admitted; “You’re right though. If I had known other queer people, if I had known people would accept me...it would have made things a lot easier.”

A very long pause, in which both of them stewed for a moment, before Robin abruptly slapped her hand down on the table.

“Okay, you got me. We're doing it, and I'm making us a speech.”

“A speech?”

“Yes dingus, a speech. I know you, you’re terrible when you’re put on the spot with this kinda thing, and trust me with things like this the moment will be spontaneous.”

“It’s Will, how spontaneous can it be?” Steve challenged back. “Getting a dinner order out of him is a chore.”

“Stop whining and hand me that notepad. Im telling you its gonna happen when you least expect it and then you're gonna thank me later.”

“It better not happen without you.” Steve sighed, but passed the notepad over.

God the things he did for those stupid kids.

Bonus x2

Steve would later go on to use the speech on himself, in a gas station bathroom mirror, eyes wide and freaked out after Eddie Munson called him Big Boy in a van they stole, while Robin snickered behind him.

He would turn on her, snapping that she; “Help me with this dammit!”

In return she’d remind him that Tammy might sing like a muppet but Eddie was the guy who stepped on lunches while giving speeches at lunch and sticking his tongue out, and “Really Steve, I think I won best gay awakening, here.”

Which would promptly start an argument regarding how it wasn’t a competition, which would continue for another fifteen or so odd years before finding its way as a reference into both of their speeches as each other’s best man.

Nancy and Eddie wouldn’t get it at either wedding, but Mike would.

Tired of this webbed site at least twitter has entertaining arguments

im so sorry that i didn't give you an entertaining enough clap back to you telling me gay men and women shouldn't coexist in a bar because you're stupid about gender

#cause i care #like the opinion ''gay bars should be places for all gay people instead of a needless focus on segregation'' isnt a brainrot thing to #send me hatemail about in the first place #and if you wanna gripe that i complained about some lesbians self-excluding or refusing to mingle based on prejudice #well it seems by your replies i was talking about youuuuu lol does that make you madddd

MANHWA REC LIST PART 2

WAR OF THE PRINCESSES

i finished catching up to this like 2 minutes ago [EDIT: WROTE THAT THE DAY BEFORE YESTERDAYM NOW ITS 2 DAYS AGO] and i genuinely really liked this. for a manhua its amazing!! the plot is unique and keeps you guessing, the characters are entertaining and NOT cookie cutter cutouts of isekai tropes, theres been some interesting reveals and a lot of people in the comments were hating on ml but personally i found him super fun; hes very morally grey n has definite flaws but thats what makes him a good character to read about !! not to mention the main character herself is great. i hate that my bar for good manhwa/hwa characters has gone down to 'has more than 2 personality traits' but she is leaping over it for sure

PLEASE REPENT, YOUR GRACE!

i dont read yaoi i dont read bl. i have never ever read it . however the vibes were so strong that i had to go back and check the tags because.. if you read it... you will see. its so strong. it radiates. (all that aside i really like the relationship btn the mains i think its really fun. they may not be gay (????🤨🤨🤨🤔🤔) but its still highly enjoyable i love it)

THE BABY SAINT WANTS TO DESTROY THE WORLD!

ive read 2 chapters but i just think the 'evil character reincarmates into the pinnacle of goodness' trope is the funniest thing in the world. i have no clue if its going to be a generic collect the characters take over the world type of thing but i just think its funny and its the newest one ive read.

IT SEEMS I'VE TRANSMIGRATED SOMEWHERE

i have been waiting for aomethinf like this for SO LONG hahah the main character is so diddly darn confused the entire time cus in her past life shes read too much rofan etc and now cant figure out what novel shes trandmigrated into. regular manhwa reader fr,, anyway theres a strong case for second hand embarrassment in this one, especially in the first few chapters or so, but i genuinely really like this just cus its so self aware, it keeps poking fun at all the tropes and its a nice lighthearted read. also theres a decent amount of plot despite it all and OH I ALMOST FORGOT the male lead is an absolute 10 personalitywise i genuinely love him. hes here for drama and thats it its amazing. so yea id say tropey but Well Written super fun 👍👍👍

HIDING THE ARCHDUKE'S HUMILIATING HISTORY

i think this is the first manhwa ive read where the ml pisses himself in fear the first time he meets fl (theyre both children)(hes scared of something else not fl but still). anyway its nothing particularly unique but its pretty fun! its one of those novel isekai where mc reincarnates into a little kid and the structure makes it a sandwich which has been keeping me very invested. this isnt a very good advertisment but its a good way to pass the time i think. heres a nice reaction pic

SUSU, HAN

oh my god??? just binged this whole thign in one go. first of all ots complete, second of all i guess you can say tjis is a character study in manhwa form. there isnt a particular overarching antagomist, its the characters learning to grow and face their own personal issues. but its also a slice of life, and lighthearted family drama, and comedy. its not a rofan this time lol. also the sibling relationships in susu, han are so good !! and theres so many lovely platonic relationships too. i really really enjoyed it.

THE TALE OF GOLDILUCK, THE BLACK KITTEN

WHOLESOME !!! WHOLESOME WHOLESOME WHOLESOME absolutely adorable, centres around a black cat that gets adopted by a young noble in ancient? old? korea. so so cite, read to soothe your heart

olay ive hit the image limit again. would yall like more

i come to you about this because i feel you have some of the best takes on here: do you feel like we'll ever reach a point in time where gerard's apparent gender neutrality as well as gender nonconformity will be seen and appreciated for what it is and left at that? because personally i feel like he could come out with a label tomorrow and people would still find ways to bicker about it (the discourse going on just a few days ago 😭)

We are witnessing an interesting social phenomenon as a result of the internet and new queer acceptance. We’re honestly already at that point. Publicly, most of gerard’s fans know he’s gnc, celebrate his expression + experiences, and leave alone the identity part. In private, however, i know speculation is less restricted. As queer people, we think we recognize our people. Call it flagging, call it gaydar, whatever. This has forever been a part of gayhood. But no one, barring the intention of outing someone, would they bring it up in a publicized forum (maybe fanzines? not sure). There is a misunderstanding that talking online means you’re in private and can say whatever you want without consequence. Pre-internet, regular gay people could talk about whoever they wanted with little impact on the straight world. Who cared what gay people thought. Only tabloids and famous people were able to out / “accuse” someone in the sphere of mass media. It was scandalous, unserious, almost funny.

Then boom, internet, boom, social queer acceptance, boom, out queer celebrities. The dynamic has shifted but people still treat it like it’s 1949 and you’re calling that cary grant fellar from the crossdressing comedy a part of the family. We are on a public, recorded, popular form of communication. Our posts are essentially mass media. One may influence thousands of people without any limit. And since fandom is a large, self-righteous queer enclave, mass media queer truthing is suddenly taken seriously. It can become popular discourse. Like it has with that heartstopper kid and taylor swift, where they plainly addressed it. Like it is right now on mcr tumblr to a smaller degree. You cant go “im just a little guy saying what i think!!!” when people have been talking about this nonstop for several days. You have influence. You have a voice. You are mass media. And people can criticize mass media. Especially when they think youre doing something morally wrong. People are inclined to publicly punish deviance in order to discourage it. Call that mechanical solidarity. Lol, my sociology 101 exam is next week

All this to say … i think cary grant was gay. I read a gossip book where the interviewer unsuccessfully tried to get him to talk about it and it made me feel dirty. It isnt the same as talking about My Favorite Wife with your friends.

#theres also the lack of universal queer understanding and terminology #which i think is suuuuch a huge part of all this #i also think a huge unsaid part of all this is personal grievances #ask

hello, hello all. it is my true honor to gather you here today & give you some Lore about the above pictured dog/creature: Mr. Buddy Vergle.

Buddy is like. Really Fucking Smart (but ONLY when he Wants to be). like. he has a bigger vocabulary than some toddlers that ive met! he can even spell some of those words!! he even knows my dad's made up sign language of some of THOSE words!!! if he wants something (anything) he will get my moms attention by a) barking at her b) pawing his claws on the metal leg of the bar stool to make noise or c) staring at her until she notices. she will then start asking him what he wants. 'do you want food?' 'do you want to go outside?' if the answer is No, he keeps staring at her. if the answer is Yes, he will look in the direction of said Object Of Desire, aka the back door for 'outside' or his bowl for 'food'.

he knows a lot of tricks, & he is also a Master Manipulator™️. this is who that one Olivia Rodrigo song was about i stg. he can literally get ANYTHING he wants from my mom. and he KNOWS IT. literally--she made the mistake of giving him a rawhide stick several years ago. fell into a habit of it. he began to expect it Every Day. as of Now, he has Rituals around The Stick™️. he gets one immediately after waking up (which my mom chops up with pliers so he wont choke from eating it too goddamn fast), followed by half a milk bone (sometimes a whole one), & Now i believe he even gets like. some whipped cream with it. this sounds like a lot, yes, but it gets better (worse??): this happens TWICE A DAY. first, right after my mom gets up. second, at 4pm. my mom even has a fucking Alarm on her phone.

let's back track to why i say he is smart 'only when he Wants to be'. you see. Mr. Buddy is plagued by the unfortunate predicament of being an animal. and sometimes, the animal brain takes over. my parent's neighbors have a crab apple tree which hangs over into my parent's back yard. and. buddy likes to eat these apples (as well as anything birds and squirrels happen to drop & he happens to notice). but it does Not go well for him. Ever. he will eat Things in the back yard. Substances, if you will. then come back inside. and. throw it up. 'oh, but animals have an instinct to avoid things that make then throw up once it happens!' you might say. yes!! i reply. i know this!! i know this, & you know this, and all the laws of science & nature know this!! but Mr. Buddy Vergle? either he Does Not Know this, or, he simply Does Not Care. because, day after day, he will return. and he will devour. and, though the sacred morsels enter his stomach, they never stay. this does not deter him, however. not in the slightest. he is nothing if not determined.

(i also say he's stupid bc he likes to roll on dead worms and cat shit lol)

and this isnt even the fucking half of it. this fucker is 8 years old & has the soul of a crotchety, old, (repressed) gay, war criminal shoved into the deranged body of a 15 pound chihuaha-something mix. if he were Not a semi-dog like creature, he would be in prison. or a minor god.

---if you would like to know more about Mr. Buddy Vergle, please comment below. there is much lore and nothing but time---

#mr. buddy vergle #rain rambles #dog #chihuahua #pets

I went to the bar to see some local music and the local gay gender weirdos + their friends invited me over to their table.

they were obvs a little tumblrheaded but thats okay.

i went to a bonfire at the house of the one.

their intro was made by the one saying that he/theys friend “thinks im cute”. i hung out anyway, did not get scary vibes. at all. and lmfao im not interested in this friend at all. but. there were no overtures made the whole night. lets keep it that way.

(its so awkward and concerning when its another genderfucker bc if i say “sorry i dont swing that way” and the individual has bad boundaries, they can try to pull some kinda insane shit like “well actually i can be a man or a woman for you or whatever. so you actually DO swing that way because i am that gender too and you are misgendering me if you disagree ergo fuck me” where they pretend appearances and the physical arent real and sexuality isnt related to it and everyone is zero apprarance preferences having bi/pan. I was preparing myself for it to happen and to bounce if things got weird but it didnt.)

all that said. the other friend they have who hosted this tiny thing has a family with money and DID NOT BRING OUT ONE SNACK FOR ANYONE ALL NIGHT until the very last moment. one muffin. insanity. what kind of host/ess are you. wtfffffff lol basic manners i know you lnow better than that.

that same person was nice enough to get me an uber home despite it being apparently in the same general/next town lol. like i walk during the day while sober. no chance of that tonight and no buses this late. oof.

had a good time.

definitely hoping on making the move temporary so i can get back closer to lgbt ppl in/near the city asap.

but it did reassure me that i “can make friends wherever i go.” :) her words. something she ALWAYS told me i could and would be good at, despite my life’s setbacks. that “people are going to love you, so much, trust me.” feelings.

(she was so good at making friends wherever she went. even in the deepest parts of her ptsd. even in our car times. people loved her. but the world was and could be cruel, too. and she carried so much hurt from that. an understatement.)

i feel so much in so many things. every day is about her, as much as and more than before. loss and healing, healing and loss, all at once.

I should be able to come home to her and give her these updates. In detail and getting deep into all the personality details together…discussing and understanding the world together. Getting help and guidance. I can’t. instead, I post them here.

Hello! It's the commenter who said they were going to come to your inbox to spam you with questions about coanda effect — and here I am! 🤓

Honestly, there's so much I want to ask about! For now, I'll start by asking how the fic came about in the first place? Like, seeing that this is your first JJK fic, why now? Why this setting with this particular fandom? I would just love to pick your brains on how the fic formed! Did you spend quite a bit of time plotting it out? Or did it reveal itself to you fully formed in a dream? With how quickly you're getting it onto the page, I can't imagine it was the former!

Literally grateful for *any* crumbs about this fic. Looking forward to the next chapter! ♥

omg hi i appreciated ur comment so so so much i giggled looking at it for days!!

uh. so im a relatively new f1 fan - casual throughout 2022, when they played the races in the bar i worked, and then a much bigger fan in 2023 - i watched drive to survive fully and yeah... it spiralled. charles leclerc and ferrari got their little grubby hands on my neck and chokeslammed me. i am forever changed.

i got into jjk around the same time - tiktok just kept putting vids of them being angsty and gay on my fyp and i caved and watched the anime earlier this year. i must confess i gave up around shibuya - i am verrrryyyy behind on the anime, lol, but i know all the spoilers because.. twitter. lol.

i got the itch to write an f1 au of .. SOMETHING. i very almost wrote one of banana fish (and i still might, as a oneshot type thing) but the jjk dynamics make for a much better longform fic, and childhood friends to enemies to lovers is literally my favourite trope of all time, which is very satosugu. but apart from that, honestly its kind of a way for me to explore the sport and my fascination with it, because as a setting it works insanely well. especially translating across from jjk, where both settings are high-pressure environments with life-or-death elements, and a level of corruption present as the characters move through it.

i was thinking about like, what teams the characters would drive for, how they'd behave, how they'd do media, etc. honestly if u know f1 you will likely manage to draw comparisons to irl drivers and dynamics relatively easily - a lot of readers have already pointed out that in the comments. it started as brainrot, and then suddenly i had this whole world with history and a timeline and strong characterisations.

i very almost had getou come back as a driver rather than as a team principal, but decided against it, since i wanted to stick to jjk's key themes of protecting youth and raising the next generation, and getou being TP to yuuji and yuuta fit that much better than him coming back as a driver / direct rival lol.

i also almost had shoko as a driver and gojo's teammate, but i felt her role in jjk was more supporting and i love women in stem. so shes an engineer.

i basically just thought about it obsessively for weeks, while putting off writing it because i was already writing a 100k words + fic at the time (and still am, lol, although a lot slower) and then finally was like, ok just write it. and here we are.

honestly my planning process isnt extensive, i think of scenes / conversations that would further character dynamics, and then put them in at the right time. especially in the present timeline right now, i dont have any particular plan for the next few races, because i want all the tension to pay off simultaneously, which means waiting a bit before putting in a lot of scenes i have planned! its all about pacing aha

i was a klancer in 2016/17 and the dual narrative is largely inspired by hearts don't break around here's. the pacing and the building of tension and the payoff is insanely good, and to this day, that fic is one of my biggest inspirations. even if you don't know klance, this fic is genuinely one of the best fics i have ever read. it changed my life @ 14.

anyway! some insight on the fic! i am working hard to get another chapter up before i have to hibernate and do like three assignments at once in january!

love u <3

okay so um francis @by-thunder gave a brainworm with his tags abt a mamma mia monkees musical so. here's my ideas for

Monkee Mia (working title)

first of all this would have to be a fusion/crossover w some of the og mamma mia characters just bc there is Not enough recurring monkees characters to fill all the roles :')

Micky as Donna -

i think he fits well as the wild character who was getting it on w all three of the others on some greek island . also because i love projecting wanted the story to make sense, micky is trans <3 i can't decide whether he was out when his kid was conceived and the Fathers knew, or if he's come out since and now its like surprise !!! that masc girl you got with 20 years ago is a guy now (and you still find him hot)

Mike as Sam -

basically mike is engaged and getting married too young to try n ignore the fact that he's gay, and obviously it's not going to be a very happy future for mike (or his fiance). and then he meets micky - so quick sidetrack here, i can't think of a way mike would get to greece? on his own? so either the whole story is actually just set in LA or cali wherever instead of greece OR micky gets w mike in california and then soon after goes to greece (this could work for the whole 'i came back 2 weeks later and you were gone' thing) - okay so yeah they have like a few weeks or aonth together? and they fall in love ofc, but then micky finds out about mike's fiance (phone call or letter or the classic finding a photo) and they fight and mike goes back (to texas? to his fiance anyways) and then yeah the whole 'i broke it off w my fiance and came back for you but you were already gone' thing - however that works out

Peter as Bill -

idk most of my reasoning here is that he's also a scandinavian hippy who would 100% just travel around in a boat if he could... he meets micky (if we're doing greece then they meet in greece and peter has a boat like bill does; if just cali then i think he's more of a roaming surfer) at like. the beach i guess, they have a fling for a couple noghts and then part amicably - i think peter's moving onto somewhere else, and they split as friends :)

Davy as Harry -

again my justification here is mainly that i can easily equate the characters - davy as a timid little queer-coded english guy isnt that hard to imagine lmao. anyways instead of how in the movie harry basically sleeps with donna to try n convince himself that ge's straight, this is davy having like. his first gay experience. i think if we do greece then they meet in greece bc davy's doing the whole english boy does the Med thing for like a gap year or whatever, and if we do cali then he's visiting the west coast from new england where he's doing broadway or uni or smth. either way they have like a one night stand, and davy afterwards somehow manages to briefly bump into peter - not knowing who he is of course but i think maybe pete helps him sort some stuff out (they probably meet in a bar or something)

uhhh in terms of the main storyline with the fathers showing up to the wedding, i'm just gonna leave sophie and skye as they are and have their same storyline lol .... that is not the focus here. obviously Sophie's dynamic w each of them will be different to the og dads:

i think mike is the one who teaches her some guitar and is all like omg... youre so quick to learn... and they have that cute little bond w him being a biiit awk over the whole 'micky's kid' thing but he gets over it eventually

peter teaches her about either the boat or surfing and they just have a super chill vibe.. he shows her some photos of him & mick in the hippy days (more later on time period setting)

davy & sophie go into hysterics over what a nutter micky was for just getting it on with this rando he found moping arnd the beach (and talk abt his awakening etc?) and they're besties from there i reckon

okay so about time period setting:

as much as the original mamma mia is iconic for being in like a timeless little greek town, i think it's important to have the time period when all of them met (and sophie was conceived) be the late 60s, bc well. thats when the show characters existed & were young. that doesnt mean it would be specifically set in the late 80s or whatever bc again - timeless greek island (unless we do the beach of course which . idk what would happen w that id just not refer to current events) but yeah . summer of love etc <3

if i did end up writing this i'd probably change sophie's character up a liiittle just to make her more matched with what micky's kid would be like, but probably not skye bc he's a bit 2D anyways (would def change the names but idk what to)

i'd keep tanya&rosie as micky's friends bc theyre honestly perfect as is, and would include them in flashbacks pre much the same as in mm:hwga (rosie would fancy peter etc)

me and my friend had the atrocious idea of calling their trio 'micky and the minnies' instead of donna and the dynamos, which i would definitely not do but i DO think they should still have their singing group bc !!!! micky can sing boy !!!!! and i love the idea of him doing the whole glam rock glitter thing for sophie's hen party <3

anyways yeah plot pretty much stays the same, sophie & sky end up travelling instead of getting married, i dont think mike would outright propose to micky (ambiguous setting is suddenly a bit questionable once you start thinking abt gay marriage/recognition of trans people etc) but they def get together in a more private moment that same day.. im not saying peter/rosie endgame if anything it's tanya/rosie endgame and peter/davy endgame even if both are ambiguous bc i believe thats how the og movie shoulda worked out anyways >:)

this is absolutely batshit wild all over the place. and i think i need to actually write this AU now.... but lmk if you guys have any further thoughts !!

#monkees #micky dolenz #peter tork #davy jones #mike nesmith #monkee mia #<- starting my own tag for this wdhfhshdhs

Ok from their more recent posts im back to thinking its vanjie that doesnt want to get back together and jack who does and now i feel bad for jack again lol. Also happy to talk about this on another blog instead if there is one? Is there?? Lol

Idk but @poppedthep is a Janjie fan 😉

It looks like they were at the same party last night omg that’s awkward I wonder if anything went down or it was complete ignoring 😱

I think it was two different parties from the backgrounds? Odd that they both took pictures with other people from 24hrs of love though.

I think they are both in a place where they don't want to get back together, but they are keen to show how they have moved on as they know they are probably still checking each others social media.

Love the pink hair!

I agree with V not wanting Jack back. Jack has been posting sappy lovesongs on tiktok about forgiveness and letting go. V is just liking thirst traps and looking at gogo boys. And they were at different parties. V was at a club opening (owned by Andres). Something Jack would not be invited to. Must LA gay bars look the same in the dark. Loved seeing V being chaotic with Mo ❤️ I think she needed that.

Chaotic V is my fav 🫶🏽

Not jack being friends with todrick somehow?! 😂 jack if you think vanjie is toxic i got news for you about your boy todrick…. 😬😆 isnt he well known to be one of the most toxic and manipulative people in la?? I feel like everyone has a bad story about him

typical millennials fire from any angle just like Trump would, not realising that you can’t land a blow when you don’t even take time to understand the target 🎯 and so what’s really happening is they’re telling a story of their own lack of principle and careless destruction wrought on good people in society.

this one, who was wearing a repulsive Pikachu onesie, shames me because In his manipulation I’m a ‘dishonest’ (lol) man and I’m ‘not even sure I’m gay’ (lol)— at the same time he tells me he hates gay culture and refuses to go to gay bars. Ah, kid, don’t you realize you can’t shame the candle from both ends? At least pick one so you look like an adult rather than a crazy hateful fuck.

basically since I was 20x physically hotter by conventional American standards and he was insecure, he expected me to tell him NO instead of engaging for 5 minutes. Talk about a self-fulfilling prophecy. His body would have been fine. I like stumpy and dumpy balding dudes. I don’t like asshole control freaks who simultaneously play the victim of life. Mini Trump has gotten into people and Mini Trump has to come out if they want to make themselves tolerable again.

also what planet are these kids on that they can’t even rationally process the universe in 4th grade ways? Match.com is not a ‘straight’ site as he assets, and if the Christian religion of the owners is indeed true and an issue for him, I would think maybe he should be boycotting a lot more product lines than simply Match.com. That’s the sort of ‘problem’ a Millennial invents for itself tho. ‘Sorry Romeo, I simply can’t bear to meet you online as I have a meltdown over how somewhere up the food chain of this product line and this product line only, a few people might be into a 2 thousand year old religion that Marilyn Manson decided to destroy while I was still shitting my diaper… better luck next time oh woe is Me woe is Me, poor me as the Juliet of Monroe, WI… the Juliet who does not allow ‘mouth to anal’ ever!!!! Kids, gays have done that for ages, try it at least once ok? Love, Hank.

also kids, if you can’t bear a product line with somewhere totally invisible to you, Christian owners are involved — that’s what’s called a 1st world problem, not a ‘I have the hardest life in the universe cuz I live in Monroe WI and you donnnnt understanddddd how awful my life is here I’m only attracted to the straight guys…..’ as he put it.

Scruff is not a ‘primarily dating’ app as he asserts. I need to stop being so nice to these kids and inform that that ‘gay dating / exclusively for relationships!!!’ As he was is practically nonexistent in America compared to the normal behavior patterns.

but nope, all the exclusively for relarionships websites don’t cater to his sense of danger and easy access narcissism, so he hopes to shame everyone on Scruff into ‘only dating’.

Why can’t my generation get a grip on reality instead of lying as they try to manipulate it for their own narrow desires?

kids, you can’t shame me if you’re basically pointing to a yellow crayon, asserting that it is blue, and expect me to feel shame at how I thought it was yellow. You just look like child idiots. This was the problem with Chicago boi too, who was at least much more developed as a writer and consumer of product than this slop from Monroe, WI. You have to understand reality if you expect to command reality, but here’s an obvious thought — your desire for the temporary gratification and power that comes with command and control is why your understanding isnt there.

I never wanted to command and control. I just wanted to learn and understand. Because I have learning and understanding, these grody attempts to command and control me from ignoramuses with seriously narcissistic souls — they don’t work, it’s not even that I want to ‘win’… it’s like looking at toddlers and wondering how crazy this child is for thinking it is gonna tell me that work is accomplished in the adult realm by flushing a banana down the toilet and then running around screaming that I’m the bad man.
