i feel like the tumblr perverts need to be aware of the forcefem novel written in 1901 by a trans woman patient of magnus hirschfeld, wherein:

a lesbian hypnotises her girly stepson into believing he is a woman

then she hypnotises his father her husband into shooting himself when he tries to stop her

then she proceeds to live as a man and convince her stepson that he is HER WIFE

AND THEN WHEN THE COUPLE WANT KIDS (AS SHE HYPNOTISED HIM TO) SHE HAS HIS CHILD AND CONVINCES HIM THAT HE GAVE BIRTH TO IT

AND DECIDES TO RAISE THE BABY AS A GIRL EVEN THOUGH IT WAS BORN MALE

AND THEN FINALLY ON HER DEATHBED CONFESSES EVERYTHING TO HER WIFE

WHO REFUSES TO BELIEVE ANY OF IT

the author's pen name is luz fraumann (yes she actually named herself "woman-man") and i wish i could tell her she's literally insane for this bestie and also how hard she would do numbers on tumblr dot com

(link to hirschfeld's profile of fraumann and extract from her novel, in german)

obsessed with the idea of eddie and erika having beef, solely due to steve. like maybe eddie has a habit of including steve-esque npcs in hellfire campaigns. erica while young is smart and it doesn’t take long for her to recognize the pattern of the npcs and she is not impressed ™. she doesn’t quite know what eddie is doing and why (it’s some unholy combination of loathing and infatuation most likely) but that’s HER, she actually doesn’t really know how to categorize him but Steve is hers and is one of the only people she listens to while minimal complaints (she might even respect him and robin a tiny bit, unlike dustin, she has long since realized exactly what Steve and Robin did for them in that base, if her parents were that grateful to the two dumbasses for “saving them from a fire” she can’t imagine what they’d do if they knew exactly how much steve has done for the family over the years). Regardless, no raggedy, hyper-active metal head while be fucking with steve on her watch and so starts erica repeatedly calling eddie out on any and everything and eddie, digging his feet in and refusing to give up his mechanism for coping with gay yearning, willingly enters a beef with a child.

Luo Binghe is doused in boiling tea and spends a single night in the woodshed— resigned to the fact that the world will simply be horrible and cruel to him, he only expects a horrendous punishment for crying instead of sleeping in the cold night on the mountain in the woodshed full of holes where the wind filters through and leaks where it would flood when it rains

What Luo Binghe receives is, surprisingly and yet, a warm blanket, a rich and nutritious egg soup, and medicinal ginger tea for his throat, which was beginning to hurt... and his Shizun being scolded.

AND BEING SCOLDED VERY MUCH!

The man scolding Shen Qingqiu is clearly older than him, perhaps an immortal who achieved immortality at a slightly older age, like forty something? Because there are little signs of age around his mouth and under his eyes. However, other than that, there is no difference between Shen Qingqiu and the stranger called Shen Yuan who, Luo Binghe later learns, apparently is the father of his Shizun???

A father shocked and horrified by his son's terrible behavior, all he does is treat Luo Binghe just as his mother has treated him, with care, gentle hands, warm meals, and Luo Binghe can do nothing but adore him with his whole heart.

And obviously the older man cultivator leaves! But he leaves instructions to everyone to treat Binghe nicely and not be influenced by his Shizun's hateful behavior.

Luo Binghe gradually learns about his Shizun and his history with his father (mostly gossip, but so repetitive that Luo Binghe supposes there must be some truth to it) — apparently he was stolen at birth! Shen Yuan was the son of a wealthy family who eloped with his beloved. His beloved died in childbirth, and the newborn baby was stolen for ransom, never to be returned even after Shen Yuan's coffers were emptied. So Shen Yuan had to perfect himself as a cultivator late in life, wishing he could find his son.

And his efforts paid off! Many years later, he apparently found his son again. The story wasn't entirely clear, but apparently, it was just right! He saved him from a fire in the house where he lived! Since then the father devoted himself to his son until his son managed to enter Cang Qiong.

And it was very usual that Shizun's father, Elder Shen, he would drop by the mountain uninvited, patting the disciples on the head, making his son mad and showering the little disciples with candy and red envelopes. Everyone looked forward to his visits!! Even, sometimes, the sect leader, or his Mu-shishu, even Liu-shishu—

And now Luo Binghe too!! He rarely sees Elder Shen in his first year. Elder Shen scolds the children A LOT who are still cruel to Binghe. Then he arrives and fills him with gifts, candy, milk sweets, and envelopes with more paper-money than Luo Binghe has ever seen. He cares so much for Binghe that Binghe cries and receives more pats and hugs. Elder Shen is extremely sweet!! And cool and cuddly. He cares about everyone, even his grumpy and irritable son, the horrible and evil Shizun

Luo Binghe grows up. He grows up surrounded by children who don't hate him, although they sometimes tease him to gain Shizun's favor, some shixiong with whom he gets along well, and visits from Elder Shen. Elder Shen doesn't always come to visit Qing Jing when he visits the sect—sometimes he goes straight to An Ding and settles there for weeks! He seems to have a very good friendship with Shang-shishu! Luo Binghe is devastated to be so close yet so far away and manages to "accidentally" meet him at least once during his visits to his shishu

Then, things happen. Elder Shen is invited to stay in the sect after saving Liu-shishu's life! And when the mountain is attacked by demons, Elder Shen is there! At this point, Luo Binghe has already accepted that he may have a small crush on the man. Scandalous and terrible! But he doesn't care! He adores him and wants and hopes to be a strong and powerful cultivator so he can court him when he grows up! They will be immortal, what's the difference between a few years!?

And although his evil Shizun forces Binghe to fight a demon, Luo Binghe uses this to show Elder Shen how much he has improved and learned! What a great cultivator he has become!

What Luo Binghe doesn't expect is that Elder Shen gets in the way of a rear attack and gets poisoned— Now, Elder Shen absolutely has to stay! Without-a-Cure is a horrendous poison that LITERALLY has no cure! And Luo Binghe has a dream demon talking to him in his head. And he might be half demon. Well, damn, Elder Shen has said positive things about demons, their cultures and certain customs in the past, it's not like any of that is going to change Luo Binghe's plans!!

He will court Elder Shen! He will prove to him that he is the best, the strongest, and worthy of him!

(Shen Yuan didn't sign up to adopt the damn scum villain when he saved him from the Qiu house fire. Given how IDENTICAL they were, Shen Yuan had to improvise! He assumed that telling him he was the son he'd been searching for for years would ease some of the grumpy teenager's trauma.

And knowing that he wasn't a deliberately abandoned child helped Shen Jiu a little! Ah, but not even a kind and tender father could soften a character like his. And Shen Yuan tried!

Anyway. He was lucky to arrive in time to prevent Luo Binghe from being tortured! And even though he scolded and argued with his son, Luo Binghe is safe! And he's growing up strong and untraumatized! Perhaps his Abyss and Blackening arc will never have to happen!

What does it matter to him that Airplane keeps telling him that his System insists that the Abyss arc is necessary— well, if it is that necessary, Shen Yuan will make sure that Luo Binghe is so strong that he can speedrun it in a few months! No more dark-hearted, traumatized protagonists! He's making sure he grows up safe and sound! Ha!

Shen Yuan thinks he's doing a good job. That sweet little lamb gets so excited when he visits!!)

Thinking about how Dani's episode is called Kindred Spirits, which implies that her unique narrative role is to mirror Danny and act as a foil to him, and then the episode is like "Here's some ✨superficial similarities✨. She is now going to leave the plot entirely and be 💖homeless💖"

Continuation of this (and this)

Hopper is sitting in his truck.

He’s parked on the side of the road downtown. He should be finishing the paperwork for the traffic stop he made earlier, but he’s not. Instead, he’s watching all four Hagan boys walking down the street to the movie theater in his sideview mirror.

They’re chattering, laughing and shoving each other. David and Maria’s youngest boy, Tommy, is kicking rocks down the sidewalk. Two of the other boys, Tyler and Travis, are shoving a Melvards bag worth of sweets into their pockets.

It’s wholesome, Hopper thinks considering all those boys give him a goddamn headache.

He only really notices them because draped over the back of the oldest boy, Theo, is Steve Harrington.

He sees the exact moment that Steve recognizes his truck because he starts squirming to be let down. As soon as he is, he runs ahead and right up to Hopper’s open window, “Hi, Mr. Hopper!”

“Steve.”

“Look at my cast!”

Steve waves his arm at him, showing off the cast now decorated with messy child signatures and bad drawings. Steve looks so excited about it, “Mama said that lots of people hafta sign my cast ‘cause it’s ugly with just your name. Look how cool it is!”

Before Hopper can even respond, Steve gives him tonal whiplash by asking in the same breath, “Can you arrest Mama?”

“Why?”

“She thinks I need new wallpaper,” Steve tells him with big serious eyes. “It’s ugly, Mr Hopper.”

“Tough break,” Hopper replies. “Doesn’t warrant an arrest though.”

“But - but a fake one,” Steve insists. “The police arrest people wrong all the time. That’s why Dad’s got a job an’ why I got cool toys an’ a swimmin’ pool. He keeps people outta jail.”

“You arrest Mama and she won’t go to jail for real ‘cause she’ll ‘peal it,” Steve continues. “Then - then Mama goes to court and there’s a judge, and they picks drawers-“

“Jurors.”

“Uh-huh,” Steve nods dismissively, rambling on, “The drawers have an envelope and it says, ‘no way, Jose.’ Then Mama comes home but it’s a long time - law stuff takes a long time - so she - she’ll change her mind about the ugly wallpaper.”

Hopper doesn’t smile, though he is amused when he tells the kid, “Bad wallpaper isn’t a crime, kiddo. Sorry.”

“It’s a crime against me,” Steve pouts. “I hate it.”

That pout might just last forever. Hell, it might just convince Hopper to actually do it (god, does he want to do it), but then a sharp whistle sounds from the entrance of The Hawk.

Theodore Hagan was standing with one of the doors propped open, calling, “Stevie, last one in gets all the burnt popcorn pieces.”

Steve gasps.

He runs off with a faint “Bye, Mr. Hopper” behind him.

Hopper watches Steve dart into the theater, making eye contact with Theo. He gives Hopper some dorky ass salute before disappearing inside too.

Hopper sighs.

Yeah. He’s got to finish this report.

“Bruce always falls for Selina’s tricks” wrong, Bruce let her kiss him on a rooftop one time and Selina managed to get her tongue into one of his click-command clips on his back left molar and remotely activated the Batmobile while they were frenching and he NEVER let it happen again (he did, he just never let her stick her tongue into his mouth ever again)
