[fifthnailinstevesbat]

thinking about steve in that first scene in nancys bedroom back in season one. thinking about how goofy and flirty and charming and playful he was being. thinking about him being like that with eddie, and how eddie would react to that version of steve. the whole talking in a silly voice, acting as that stuffed bear, the whole “bad steve :( don’t do that to miss nancy :( “ and “you are beautiful nancy wheeler”.

eddie plays dnd, even more so, he DMs dnd games, he stands up on tables in cafeterias and makes big theatrical scenes to rant about issues he has strong stances on — that man knows how to put on a show, and enjoys to watch one too. see: immediately accepting erica into hellfire as a replacement after seeing her go on one of her tangents, showing off her attitude and how she isn’t afraid to get in your face to get her way. he LOVESS that shit. lives for it. seeks it out. so when steve starts getting like that around him he would just crumble immediately i just know it.

Sometimes Severus comes up to Minerva. Right up behind her when she's busy. He'll stand there for a good minute as she works on marking assignments and cursing the boy's youthful energy and brilliant eyes- both of which directly responsible for his finishing his work in half the time it takes her.

"What is it, Severus?" Minerva sighs. Might as well get the obligatory nonsense over and done with, she was due a dose of Severus's antics by now (Merlin forbid he go more than three days without bothering her with nonsensical questions or infuriating wit).

"Am I ugly, Minerva?" he asked. Never there was a being with such innocence in their voice.

Minerva took a moment to take in a breath and silently call on all her patience and all her strength. "Yes, very." Her tone was blunter than the knives used to decorate at Halloween- an incident with some particularly idiotic third years had them ban anything sharper than the corners of a book during the Halloween celebrations.

Severus gasped as if stabbed. "What? Minerva, I thought we were friends!"

Minerva snorted. "Any time we interact, it's completely against my will."

"Minerva! you lie so shamelessly it shocks me." Severus made as if to swoon, a hand clutching the right of his chest.

"You must be shocked; your heart isn't where it should be."

Honestly, Minerva had to admire the fact that the insolent little kitten did not falter in his dramatics with her pointing out the key flaw in his act. If anything, he seemed to be encouraged.

"Ay! The pain of the shock, it has spread throughout my chest! Ah, I cannot breathe!" Severus swayed on his feet, leaning against the chair that Minerva was sitting in. "Oh, how your lie shocks me!"

"Well, then, you had better tell me what exactly I lied about," Minerva said briskly, "before you gasp all the air out of your skinny little lungs, laddie."

"You said," the boy said, a sudden glint in his eye and none of the apparent weakness, standing to face her and one of those long, delicate fingers pointed straight at her, "you said, that our interactions are without your will."

"That is no lie, what part of this looks like it's my will?" Minerva replied, knowing full well she wasn't going to appreciate the cheeky answer Severus had prepared for her.

"Why, the part where you remain for my company, mother," Severus replied, his voice light. "Surely, if you didn't want this, you would have, in your infinite wisdom, simply have employed your great power and assumed your famous feline form and just walked away from me."

Minerva fought her smile. His cheek was infuriating while his logic impeccable. "Perhaps I am simply conversing my energy, you arrogant wee rascal."

"You? Too lazy to avoid a nuisance?" Severus scoffed. "Minerva, you wound me. Don't you know how I know you? You've done much more to avoid the mildest of annoyances, do you truly think I believe that you are here against your will merely to converse your energy?"

Minerva let him see the flicker of a smile disgusted as a smirk, letting the bothersome raven have a little treat for his cleverness, hinting to him that he had essentially won this particular argument. "At my age you no longer have the patience to waste on annoyances. You learn to value your peace. You will understand that some day, I hope, little one."

"And if I die, my hair still black and my skin still smooth?"

Merlin, did the child have a turn towards the morbid. Minerva ignored the voice in her that told her that this would have been a retort of her own had she been in a similar conversation.

"Then you'll die a fool."

"A fool, perhaps, but my funeral will be the biggest," he replied, moving to sit on her desk and grabbing the biscuit jar. Minerva intercepted, lifting it from his grip and replacing it with a towel. His protests died in his confusion at the towel, and Minerva huffed and began to wipe his hands as if he was a child. She did not trust him to correctly clean his hands after handling goodness knows what when experimenting with his potions and she didn't care if he knew it.

"Aye, and how did you figure that?" she asked.

"Surely if I die young, I shall be the first. Therefore you all will be part of the funeral-"

"What makes you think I would want to attend your funeral, you little rascal?" She let go of his hands, almost satisfied that they weren't contaminated.

Severus ignored her and instead took a biscuit from the jar. "You will all be there, therefore I will have the biggest funeral. If I die old, you all shall be gone, so my funeral will be the smallest."

Minerva tried not to think of how depressing that sounded, how lonely it seemed. For a brief moment she felt guilty for being so old and he so young. She involuntarily could see him in her mind's eye, going through their funerals until he stood alone. She and the others- Rolanda, Pomona, Poppy, even Fillus and Hagrid- they were all of an age, weren't they? They could expect their lives to reach the end around the same time, surely? Severus was but a child next to them, he'd stand alone one day.

Minerva tried to ignore the ache in her chest at the thought of him standing alone. Merlin, no. He was far too young. No.

"You truly are besotted with the morbid and the miserable, you melanchonic masochist," she said, her tone just a trifle too sharp to be a simple retort.

Severus paused, swallowing the biscuit. Then he answered. "Ah, but the morbid is much more fascinating, the forbidden has a certain thrill, dear mother." His voice was a little softer, and his fingers, slightly coated in crumbs, were gentle when he tapped her forehead. He was sorry he upset her.

"You and your thrills," Minerva scolded, "yet you cannot even eat a biscuit without making a mess of yourself." Yet even as she spoke, the hand that she used to swipe the crumbs away, was gentle, almost tender, in its movement. She had quite forgiven him.

How could she remain angry? At this boy who looked at her with a scowl of indignation yet whose deep, dark eyes twinkled with mischief and cleverness and brilliance, who stood taller than her, yes, yet was far more delicate in his build than she had ever been, whose hair was as dark as hers had been in her youth, carelessly falling across his forehead. No, she could not remain angry.

If only he had been in Gryffindor, perhaps then she would have noticed him sooner. Or rather, if only her eyes didn't only open for her Gryffindors. How this boy could ever look at her without resentment and anger, she didn't know. Then again, he had been so incredibly isolated and lonely, was it any wonder he let go of his rightful grudges and instead accepted her friendship?

Minerva blinked as if soot from the fireplace got in her eyes. She didn't want him to notice the tears that almost inevitably formed whenever she thought about him. Who would have thought that she'd cry so much for the little devil?

"I'll leave you to your work, dear mother," Severus said cheerfully, hopping off her desk.

"Aye, after you've cleared out my biscuit jar, you villain" Minerva grumbled, looking into the empty jar. Severus shrugged.

"You ought to see it as a compliment towards your taste, really," Severus said. "But I see I have taken the last of your patience"- for indeed, Minerva looked ready to strangle him- "so I shall take my leave. Good night, my good Headmistress, and may you have peace in the silver embrace of the moon!"

And with a laughing twinkle in his eye and a boyish bow, Severus Snape left the room.

Minerva sighed. She wasn't sure if it was out of relief, or because she may have felt some sorrow at his departure.

The door opened again, and a rather meek Severus poked his head in.

"Er, Minerva?" he asked.

"Yes, Severus?"

"Er." Severus stepped in, looking away from her, walking with the awkward gait of a newborn foal, and the nervousness of a deer. "Er, Minerva?"

"Yes, Severus?"

"Am I really ugly, mother?" His voice was a whisper. His raven hair curtained his face, hiding his shame at asking such a pathetic question, and his fingers picked at one of the cuticles of a nail.

Minerva smiled, and walked to him. Softly she brushed the boy's hair out of his face and gently tucked it behind his ear.

"Only as long as you let yourself believe it, dear heart."

Anyway people of tumblr I got a cat and her name is maple and she is awful and I love her

She loves to sleep outside my bedroom door, then wake up to my alarm , then sit and meow until I let her in, and she likes to just generally lurk in my doorway when I have the door open. She also tries to get me any time I’m in the bathroom. She hides under my roommates beds. She likes to take up a whole entire cushion of our couch. She eats most but not all of her wet food and gets annoyed with me because of it. I love her

I don’t know if other people can go into the shadow realm that don’t have his powers, but if you can, imagine in the dating stages of their relationship, Jinwoo takes reader to the shadow realm and meet all the shadows there and see the statue they have of her. She’s in awe and she’s just spends the day playing with shadow, lowkey forgetting about Jinwoo

HELPPPP THAT'S SO CUTEEEEE him giving her a little tour around the shadow realm 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 i can imagine beru taking the initiative to make sure the whole kingdom is spotless clean. like he'll go around, ordering everyone he sees to clean the area and be like "if I espye a mote of dust upon the casement, thou shalt be hanged by the neck!" he'll be soooo annoyinggg

i can also tell his girlfriend would be genuinely excited and happy to meet all the shadows, trying to remember their names one by one, maybe even ask them what their favorite flavor is so she can bake them some cookies next time. jinwoo was nervous at first like he was afraid the shadows were going to look a little bit too creepy for her to handle so he's genuinely relieved when he sees her having fun.

he falls in love with her again when he sees her panicking when igris goes down to his knees and bows his head to her and she's like "omg please don't bow to me, i'm not a princess" and he's like "but milady, yes, you are." and she's like "NO i'm not" and she turns to jinwoo and she's like "jinwoo please help??? please tell him i'm not a princess" and jinwoo laughs and he says "that's right, igris, she's not a princess." and she breathes out in relief but then jinwoo adds with a smirk and a kiss on her temple. "she's my queen."

her head explodes, the shadow realm rejoices

In hindsight, Colin was being so dramatic here and for what, you're at a ball my guy, ask for her next dance??? He'll really do anything but sign Penelope's dance card I swear

*ahum* anyway, more serious ramblings under the cut :)

Ok so on my first watch, I did wonder why he didn't fight back a little, by asking for her next dance or calling on her the next day, but the answer was so blatant. That's his point of view when he sees Penelope and Debling dancing:

She's smiling. She's happy. And Colin said it himself, he wishes very much for her happiness, and in that moment? He thinks she's found it. After all, earlier she did say she found Debling attractive, and she was excited at the idea of him courting her! Who is Colin to deny her that joy?

He's a sensitive man, not really a fighter, the whole time he is thinking about her feelings, even if that means denying his own. That's why he was tongue-tied under that willow tree and letting her lead the conversation, that is why he respects her wishes and keeps a distance although it's killing him to not seek her out at every social assembly, and that's why in that moment, he lets her go.

But fortunately Violet will remind him that being a little selfish is not so bad either.

Zuko and Sokka?

Alright alright alright this timing is phenomenal I was literally on Discord earlier with my "Sokka has two hands" agenda. Little known (not-so-little) fact is ATLA is just... that fandom for me. You'll be hard-pressed to find anything I don't ship because my opinions range from "huh this could be fun" to "heck yes." So, yeah, I'm a Zukka shipper. (Specifically if you add Suki to the mix because that trio means everything to me)

What made you ship it?

I mean, the Boiling Rock episodes personally fueled my Sokka/Suki/Zuko poly agenda. Not to detract from the Zuko/Sokka dynamic whatsoever. But I think these three together have such a fun dynamic. Zuko and Sokka legitimately make a great team, they have excellent chemistry. They work well together. The Boiling Rock arc is crucial to me for peaking my interest. I didn't get into it until the 2020 resurgence (I got COVID and I was bored so I rewatched ATLA). This was also post-Voltron hell. So it informed my shipping decisions impeccably.

What are your favourite things about the ship?

There's an aspect to how Zuko and Sokka speak with each other I quite enjoy? I think Sokka is quick to approach Zuko casually, and doesn't hesitate to poke fun at him even in light of their dynamic with him at that moment. Which is not to say Sokka doesn't take any aspect of Zuko seriously, but I think a character like Zuko is fun to pair up with someone who doesn't take his more melodramatic flair seriously or even to heart. Also, along with Suki (will not drop this agenda I'm not even sorry) they really have such a fun and well-rounded team? I think it's one of those "we fill in where the other's are not able to". Also Sokka has two hands. Also, I think couples that scheme together stay together. Once again, going to Sokka being quick to just acclimate to Zuko's presence in the group. I think he had reservations, but he ribs and picks at Zuko in a way that brings Zuko into the fold. I enjoy that. And Sokka has two hands.

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

Hm. I don't know. I think I definitely prefer it with Suki in the mix? That's just the nature of how I ship Sokka with people, to be honest. I think I'm going to ruffle some feathers when I say the popularity of Zukka was primarily because of Klance from Voltron. I just remember those two ships skyrocketing around the same time. And while I don't necessarily dislike Klance, sometimes the factors that I enjoy about Zukka get rewritten as Klance 2.0 and I find it mildly frustrating. (Not to bore you with Voltron drama! I just think the rise of Zukka is inherently tied to the popularity of Klance, though it was definitely a ship beforehand. Just interesting correlations.)
