‘this doesn’t make sense’ so?????

important edition

One of my favorite tropes is character with a nasty toxic personality who tries very hard to do the right thing anyway

I like my protagonists sad, tired, bitter, fully convinced they will never get the recognition they deserve, but they still gotta get up in the morning and be a good person

Robin accidentally puts a letter (meant to ask a girl out on a date) in the wrong locker. She waits, watching totally inconspicuously, except her crush walks up to the locker NEXT to the one she put it in. And dear old Eddie Munson strolls up to the same locker.

Robin watches as he unfolds the letter and blushes. She's immediately groaning and feels bad, because now this guy thinks someone likes him. And thats just mean but to confess and break his heart? She's missing lunch lamenting on the pay phone about the situation to Steve who is at Family Video.

Steve who has thought about Eddie for years. Captivated by the guy who will get up and yell on top of tables but also stopped and helped a freshman pick up all their papers when they dropped them. Steve who once got winked at by Eddie and felt his entire worldview shift.

"Well I'll go- yea, I can go in your place. Don't even worry about it." Steve offers. And Robin is so thankful she feels she would have combust spontaneously if she had to break Eddie's heart. Robin thinks Steve is gonna let him down gently. Meanwhile Steve is putting on his date jeans and adding a bit of lip gloss and winking in the mirror ready to charm the pants off eddie

watched severance. I Understand Now.

scattered assortment of thoughts in no particular order bc my brain is still busy imploding

Based on a post i saw on twitter

..and he wrote them for David Tennant

Steddie + much ado about nothing+ Stobin and meddling Robin

Steve and Eddie absolutely hate each other. Robin clocks the homosexual tension within the first ten minutes of them being in a room together and hatches a plan.

Thankfully none of these idiots actually read Much Ado About Nothing and would be unable to realize they would be living it.

Robin enlists the kids to drop scripted hints whenever Steve leaves the room, spoken just loud enough to allow him to eavesdrop.

Steve doesn’t come running to Robin though, avoiding outing Eddie to her which Robin finds absolutely endearing.

On the other hand, Eddie needs a bit more tact. She utilizes Nancy Wheeler to engage in conversation with Eddie under the thinly veiled pretense of ensuring Steve’s new ‘crush’ is good enough for him. She implies that he is not and Eddie immediately raises to the challenge, treating Steve as if he is Eddie’s schoolyard girlfriend.

Eddie helps carry his things and is constantly engaging in casual physical affection with Steve.

Both of them, in trying to be careful of the other’s feelings, fall for each other.

Steve comes to Robin, panicking about not being straight and Robin hugs him, hiding her grin in his shoulder as she rubs his back.

When Robin borderline knocks Steve’s door down for forgetting to bring her to work, she is greeted by a sleep mussed Eddie Munson. She stands outside Steve’s house and laughs like a goddamn witch at 6am on a Saturday.

The scene in catching fire where Katniss goes to Haymitch to make him promise to protect Peeta only for him to say that Peeta was just there asking the same thing for her is heartbreaking and beautiful and tragic and all that

but its also hilarious because it gives us a very clear metric for the difference between Katniss and Peeta's emotional bandwidth. At any given moment, she's about 45 mins behind whatever realization he just came to. And they're gonna end up in the same place, at the same conclusion its just gonna take her an extra sec to get there give her a minute

I’m at the BDSM club painting tunnels on the wall for my sub to run into

Who the fuck is that

i believe it to be a stranger things character my liege

Mmm… most disconcerting. Gramercy, knight, you are dismissed… as for the interloper with the “strange things” remark… may they be thrown to the rats in the dungeon… *bangs scepter on tile floor and it echoes throughout my decadent throne room*

rip magneto you would have loved killing elon musk

Probably with a cybertruck, let's be honest. And it would have ruled so hard.

YOU CANT LEAVE THIS IN THE TAGS

LMAO IM CRYING 😭

"red-pill" "snowflake" everything about v for vendetta...fascists really do love to steal and bastardize culture from the queer people they are trying to destroy

"snowflake" was popularized in Fight Club, a novel by a gay man. "red-pill" is from a movie created by two trans women and is a metaphor for estrogen and gender transitioning. those same women adapted V For Vendetta from the original comic (written by a polyamorous man who may or may not be queer but certainly has something going on); in both versions the titular protagonist "V" is implied to be transmasculine, and a survivor of torture and imprisonment for the crime of homosexuality.

because that's what they see in us, these bigots who are happy to consume and quote and corrupt queer-created media, as long as they can erase every beautiful root. they see criminals, commiting the crime of being queer. and they are doing their damnedest to bring back the laws that made it so.

fic where steve already knows he's bi but robin keeps trying to tell him. steve's known he's had a crush on eddie for months at this point but today just happens to be the day where eddie walks in during a slow shift at family video and robin looks up at the perfect moment to catch steve's soft, dopey smile.

and in that moment, robin connects the dots. the music in steve's car being just love songs on loop. steve walking into work in a lovesick haze. steve going out of his way to work his schedule so he could always be the one to pick the kids up from hellfire.

oh.

oh.

eddie ducks into the horror section, and robin throws her full body weight towards steve, who yelps not unlike a stray cat.

"you like eddie," robin hisses.

"yeah, no shit!" steve reaches for the collar of his polo like he's clutching imaginary pearls. "jesus christ, robin, what the fuck."

ignoring him, robin continues. "no, steve," she says, soft look on her face, "you like like him."

steve frowns, nodding slowly. "i-i know that, robin. we're not in third grade anymore, you can say 'crush', it's not going to give you cooties," he says, frown falling to reveal a teasing look.

"wait, what?"

"robin, did you...?"

they stare at each other intensely for what could perhaps be aeons.

"YOU NEVER TOLD ME-"

"I'VE ALREADY TOLD YOU-"

i’ll never forget watching woe’s hollow for the first time because the second the episode opened i was like “OH THEYRE GONNA FUCK IN THE FOREST!!!!” and then i when saw the tents i was like “OH THEYRE GONNA FUCK IN THE TENT!!!!!!” and then when they were fucking in the tent i said “OH THEYRE FUCKING NASTY IN THE TENT!!!!!”

Steve will drop lore on Eddie in this ‘everybody knows this, catch up’ kinda way when it painfully clear that everybody absolutely did not know this.

Like, Eddie asks Steve to move his chair so he can slide passed him like three time in the middle of a party at the Byers and is being ignored. Finally, he’s like, “Ground control to Major Asshole. Can you hear me?”

Steve’s only notices him because he kicks his chair in the process and is like, “Oh, sorry, man. Gotta talk on my other side. I lost my hearing on this side.”

Which, great.

Eddie feels like an asshole but he can actually put that to the side because the whole table is just like, “…what? Since when?”

“Um…” Steve says, like. Yeah. This is common knowledge. “Two years ago?”

One time in the middle of the summer, Eddie is ogling the freckles across Steve’s shoulders at a pool party when Steve yawns. Eddie jokingly asks if teaching Robin to drive tired him out that much and Steve’s like, “Nah, I had a seizure this morning. Those tire me out for days. It’s so annoying.”

“Woah,” because Eddie didn’t even know that was something on their radar. Neither did Nancy judging by the whole plate of hotdogs she just dropped on the ground.

Steve causally mentioned that he didn’t have his appendix anymore a couple weeks after they closed the gate officially. Eddie asked when he had the surgery expecting an answer to be when he was a kid, but Steve gives him a weird look like, “Uh, couple weeks ago.”

“A couple - what?” Jonathan sputtered from across the room. “A couple weeks ago, we killed Vecna.”

“Yeahh???” Steve rolled his eyes. “And then I had my appendix taken out. That’s what happens when you’re stabbed.”

“You were stabbed?!?”

“C’mon, man. You were there. Keep up.”

Eddie is shut up mid-sentence by lips against his and, wow. Whoa. Steve Harrington kissing him right now and Eddie should definitely kiss back but, “You like guys? I’ve had a chance this whole time?”

“I’m literally bisexual.”

Eddie “I know you hate the attention but every song is about you baby” Munson

Steve “normie bf who HATES the attention” Harrington

They make a lovely pair.
