It’s becoming abundantly clear that nobody cares about jewish people. You’ll get mad on our behalf when it’s convenient for you, and you’ll spit slurs at us when it isn’t.

But hey, I’m glad you’re willing to make excuses for blatant antisemitism when it’s used as a dunk against someone you don’t like. Maybe the next time Harry Potter discourse is in vogue, we’ll still be around to be convenient props for you.

Musical prodigy Steve, who is way too casual about this gift. He plays seven instruments and could read sheet music before he could spell his own name, and literally never mentions it.

He has perfect pitch and can perfectly replicate a song he’s heard once on the radio. If you gave him an instrument he’s never played before and an hour, he’d made something beautiful out of it. And no one knows.

Well, some people know.

His mom still signs him up for recitals and performances out of state, but Steve never talks about it. He just says he has something to do with him mom that weekend, and then goes to preform in a concert hall in front of hundreds of people.

Honestly, Steve kinda assumed everybody was like that.

His parents never made it seem like it was a big deal. Hell, he doesn’t even consider that he could go to college for music (not that his dad would ever allow it). It’s basically a hobby.

It’s only after concussion number two when he’s sitting in English class listening to Eddie Munson complaining for a week straight about how he has an ‘epic vision’ for a ‘new song’ but it’ll never come to fruition because he’d need a full string orchestra.

And then another week listening to him hum the melody of the song.

And then a couple more days with the studio equipment that his parents got him for Christmas that Steve starts to think that maybe this ability isn’t all that common.

Eddie - still complaining - just stares at him with shock and confusion when Steve sits a cassette down in front of him and tells him to, “Stop talking.”

Honestly, that should be it, right? Steve has spent more effort making mix tapes than that cassette and those were barely a blip in the week so…

So, why is Eddie Munson confronting him at his locker the next morning? Eddie’s hands are all over the place like, “Did you really find and pay an entire orchestra to play my music just so I’d be quiet?”

“No,” Steve says slowly because that’s insane. “I played your music so you’d be quiet… it clearly didn’t work.”

“You can play…”

“Yeah?”

Eddie just stares at him like he’s something worth staring at and then asks seriously, “Do you want to be in my band?”

i genuinely don’t think most of y’all realize how “i hate humanity, we’re inherently evil and irredeemable” is 1) some puritan bullshit and 2) actively damaging to literally any activism you partake in

Hearing Vincent Benitez say “I am what God made me” felt like what hearing Born This Way by Lady Gaga for the first time should’ve felt like

Like a completely normal adult person, after watching the new trolls movie, I obsessively started putting together the brothers' backstory, the deeper reasons for their separation as well as how that all took place without disregarding the fact that they were trapped in the troll tree, which of course evolved into a fic in (forever) progress... yeah

Anyway, even though they aren't actively in the story much, i needed to design the parents, so uh meet Rosiepuff's daughter, Tulip, and her husband Branch.

I designed them based on the brothers' adult looks and in Tulip's case also on her mom's.

bonus baby branch:

Human Bodyguard Kon and Performer Tim (TimKon)

Tim Drake is known worldwide under his stage name Cardinal.

Something goes wrong and a security guard (Conner) ends up just absolutely man handling Tim.

Maybe a crazed fan jumps on stage (probably with a weapon) and Kon goes to grab Tim, picks him up with one arm, and gets him out of there. Tim’s mic is still on so everyone hears him when he says “holy shit you’re a strong motherfucker” (Tim’s not family friendly, so him swearing isn’t a big deal) and and Kons remark of “that’s why I was hired, sir” picks up through Tim’s mic, even as they go off stage. His mic is then cut off, as the situation gets back under control. After 20 minutes, the crazy guy is dragged out, and the audience has been calmed down. Tim comes back out, Kon following right behind him. Tim’s manager wanted to cancel the show, but Tim said he’d be fine. He goes out on stage, his mic back on. Cracks a few jokes about how “welp that was scary” and giving a shout out to the security crew for their good work and quick thinking. He then introduces Kon.

“This is Conner, or Kon. He’s the security guard who got me to safty during the commotion. He has been appointed body guard for the rest of the show. So if anything happens again-“ Tim rushes behind Conner, to demonstrate his point. He practically disappears behind him, only visible after he pokes his head out from behind him. “I’m safe!” Tim smiles wildly. Kon crosses his arms, glancing down at Tim, who immediately walked back out and in front of Kon.

The show carried on, Tim ended up preforming a few love songs. During one of theses songs, someone from the audience threw something at him, (Tim has told his fans it’s ok if they want to put stuff on the stage for him, but to do it carefully, the fan was aiming for the stage, but almost hit him in the head) and without missing a beat, Kon grabbed him by the waist, and completely picked him up and out the way, only for the object to go wizzing past. The song Tim was singing says something along the lines of “he was big and strong”, (no, stop thinking about Rasputin, I wasn’t listening to that when writing this part, definitely not) and Kon grabbed him as he was singing this line.

Tim doesn’t stop singing, not wanting to stop the show again but does take to take in an extra breath as his legs dangle. Kon hands grip hard around his waist, and out of instinct from being suddenly grabbed, Tim puts his hands over Kon’s. It’s honestly distracting, he also almost forgets the lines to his own song that he himself wrote. Tim is willing his face to not burn red, because damn, this bodyguard is hot.

Kon hovers even closer after that, only ever going about two feet away from Tim. There’s a song were Tim sings about his type, specifically buff guys and gals. Conner so happens to be tall, large, and very muscular, which is the type he describes he likes in the male part of his bisexual song. He almost covers his face out of sheer embarrassment.

By the end of it all, due to how famous Cardinal (also known as Cardi) is, Conner the Bodyguard becomes an overnight sensation. Edits are being made, fanart is being pumped out, there’s a tag starting up on Ao3. The moment of Kon picking Tim up by his waist like he weighed nothing is definitely the main center of attention, thought there are definitely a lot of people screaming about the “one arm carry” from earlier in the night.

Continuing a bit from this post where Steve is the most background character of all time: Robin edition.

Robin is by no means ‘internet famous’ but she likes to do crafts and has a TikTok account. When she’s not defending Steve’s cryptid-Chicago-man ass in comments, she’s posting videos of her projects.

Steve makes an occasional guest appearance in her videos but it takes forever for anyone to notice because she never shows his face.

She has a running series on her account (five parts so far) called ‘Crafts and Tea.’

The posts are cut together clips of Robin working on her current bead project whole Steve complains about whatever is bothering him off-screen. The last one has her making a beaded purse and Steve complaining about his parents.

The only reason people realize that her off-screen roommate is the cryptid chicago man everybody is obsessed with is because she posted a video titled, ‘painting the bottom of my bestie’s shoes until he notices.’

People connected it to a video of someone singing on the subway. Steve is in the background with his legs stretched out and the soles of his shoes visibly a painted sunset. He is also, notably, the only person enjoying the singing.
