“Listening to Nico is always an unforgettable experience: turbulent, enigmatic, haunting, nihilistic and timeless. Now it seems that time is finally catching up with Nico in that more and more people are coming to appreciate her profoundly disturbing and visionary recordings. With The End she is at her best, forcing you to totally rethink what a rock album should sound like.”
/ From Andrew Batt’s liner notes to the 2012 CD reissue of The End /
Released on this day fifty years ago (11 November 1974): The End, the fourth studio album by heroin-ravaged German chanteuse, Moon Goddess and the countercultural Marlene Dietrich, Nico (Christa Paffgen, 1938 – 1988). The final (and bleakest) part of Nico’s essential trilogy of records encompassing The Marble Index (1968) and Desertshore (1970), its “terrorist songs” of violence and resistance were inspired by the activities of Germany's Baader-Meinhof Group. Hence the brutal imagery of warriors, gladiators, prisoners, hunters and knives in “It Has Not Taken Long” (“It has not taken long / To feast our naked eye upon / The open blade / The hungry beast / Have found her calling, calling / Help me, please”), “Secret Side” (“Without a guide, without a hand / Unwed virgins in the land / Tied up on the sand …”) and Innocent and Vain (“I am a savage violator”). The End also represents a tribute to Nico’s “soul brother” and former lover Jim Morrison (it was her first album since his death): the title track is her interpretation of the Doors song and “You Forget to Answer” (one of the best things Nico ever did) is her eerie eulogy to him. Melody Maker maligned The End at the time as “recommended only to those who get satisfaction out of knowing that somebody else is more incoherent and screwed up than they are.” Pictured: Nico in London by Simon Bedford, 1974 from an abandoned photo-shoot for The End’s front cover.

While I have called most of the musicians John Cale helmed as a producer quite surprising, some do provide us with a firm nod. I mean, he had to collaborate with Nico, since she was probably the only one from his old band with a similar sensibility. For example – The End …, one of their collaboration, can be seen as a development of what they did on the debut of the Velvet Underground, yet the sound went into something more primal here. One has a hunch she tried to evoke a harsh emotion very few could've understood, because the apparition of her past dwelt on this LP. The entire platter should be seen as her attempting to comprehend the death of her good friend, Jim Morrison. However, she doesn't honor him by replaying his group's soundscapes, she goes towards the apocalyptic.

New season boring af pt2
Steddie | modern au | famous actor Steve Harrington | 4.9k | ao3
part one
“Are you talking with that guy again?” The sound of Robin’s voice startles Steve, who can only lock his phone and slip it into his pocket to hide it from her. He wasn’t even talking with Eddie, that’s the embarrassing part. He was looking at the pictures that he had shared with him over the months they have been talking.
“No,” Steve says, but he must not sound very convincing.
“Steve! I’ve told you he could be a weirdo, or a stalker!”
“And I’ve told you he is not a stalker, he was not that interested in me before we started texting. And he works in a record store all the way in Chicago. I’ve seen it.”
“Do you understand the concept of catfishes? He could still be a stalker.”
“Well that stalker has seen my dick, so” Steve shrugs.
“WHAT? You whore!” Robin shouts, Steve is very thankful that they are alone in the makeup trailer now. “When did this happen?”
Steve crosses his arms and grumbles, knowing what is coming. “A month ago?”
“A MONTH?”
“Yeah.” And what a fucking month it has been. Steve can still remember that first time in perfect detail. Steve had not expected Eddie’s picture. At all. He had been hoping for a reaction, that’s why he had chosen that movie, but Eddie had given him something much better. The sight of his tented pyjamas was only surpassed by the sight of his actual dick on the video call later.
Steve will admit – only to himself – that it was reckless and dangerous, but it was also the culmination of weeks of studying Eddie’s picture, of watching time and time again the little videos he posted in his close friends stories (the day Steve had been added to the list was another peak for him, as embarrassing as that is) playing guitar and dicking around with his friends (maybe he was the stalker of the two). It was Steve seeing how he affected the guy he had the hots for after months of being sexually frustrated with barely enough time to jack off between filming. Because of course Eddie wasn’t only funny and nice to talk to, he also had to be the hot friend of his group.
He had not been planning for that reaction, but he was not going to pass up that opportunity. Seeing the hand he had seen wrapped around guitar necks for so long wrapped around Eddie’s cock… Steve was never going to forget that sight.
“This is crazy, like, do you even know his name?” Robin interrupts his thoughts.
“Of course I do, he’s Eddie.” He’s always known his name, it’s in his profile.
“Surname?”
Steve pauses. “You don’t know the surname of all your friends.”
“I think in this case you should have asked, Steve.”
“Why can’t you trust me with this?”
“I just worry about you, and maybe I’m a bit sad that you didn’t tell me sooner.”
“I knew you would just nag me about it.”
“Hah! So you know what you did was wrong!”
“If you didn’t want this to happen then you shouldn’t have made me watch Notting Hill.”
“That’s different!”
“How.”
“Well, for one it’s a movie,” she says, putting up a finger. Steve rolls his eyes and puts his hands on his hips. That’s pretty obvious. “Two!” Robin puts up another finger. “They met in real life, not the internet.”
“It was the 90s, of course they met in person. Are you saying that it would be fine if I went to Chicago and met him casually in his record store?”
“No, maybe, don’t try to distract me.”
“Keep your points coming, come on.”
“Three!” Another finger comes up. “Hugh Grant is... hot?”
Steve snorts. “Eddie is hot too.” They wouldn’t be having this conversation if he wasn’t. “And anyways, you are a lesbian, you have no opinion on this.” He waves it off with a hand.
“I still have eyes, and that’s what everyone says.”
“Not valid. Your arguments are not accepted, I know you don’t think Hugh Grant is hot.”
“But that’s not the point! Ugh, okay.” Robin pauses for a few seconds, but Steve knows she’s not finished talking. “So, he saw your dick, did you see his? Wait, no, don’t tell me details. A month ago? I still can’t believe it. Have you done that again?”
And there she is. Steve laughs. “Yes, we’ve done it again.”
****
Steve.hrrgtn: hey, just a quick question
Steve.hrrgtn: what’s your surname?
Batking: why? trying to steal it for yourself?
Steve’s heart should not skip like that from that line.
Steve.hrrgtn: just so I know who I should address the restraining order to when you finally try to murder me
Batking: fuck youve been talking with robin again?
Batking: its munson
Batking: edward munson
Batking: you need anything else? my social security number or something? Ill send you a picture of my drivers license
Steve.hrrgtn: I think I only need that for now, thank you for your cooperation
Batking: you better not be lying about the reason
Batking: if I catch you writing one mr and mr munson in your diary you will need the restraining order for real
Steve’s heart should NOT skip like that from that line.
****
Steve takes a picture on the mirror of the dressing room, stylists still all around him. Nobody pays attention to him, they are all too busy for that, packing up and chatting. Steve should be taking the graduation gown off so it can be packed up with everything else, just so they can go home earlier, but he had to take the picture first. He had taken pictures with the rest of the cast, sure, but this is different.
He is smiling, cap held in his hand.
Steve.hrrgtn: *picture attached*
Steve.hrrgtn: just graduated
He sends the message and moves to take the costume off and his own clothes back on. When he takes his phone back, there is a message already waiting for him. A smile makes its way to his face in a second.
Batking: at the grown age of 25, took you even longer than me and I did my senior year three times
Batking: congratu fucking lations
Steve.hrrgtn: you are an asshole
Steve.hrrgtn: but do you know what this means??
Steve moves around the room, thanking everyone. It takes him a while, so he is confused when an answer is not waiting for him when he looks back at his phone.
Steve.hrrgtn: Eddie?
Batking: *Screenshot of the I’M FREEEE!!!!!! WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY FUCKING LIFE meme*
Batking: this?
Batking: sorry sweetheart I was looking for the meme
Steve.hrrgtn: EXACTLY THAT
Steve.hrrgtn: not like the WORST because I met Robin here and all but FUCK YEAH it’s over
Batking: these four months of waiting for the torture to finish must have felt so long
Steve smiles, typing as he walks outside. They are having a wrap party later, so he needs to find Robin so they can get ready together.
Steve.hrrgtn: hmm not really
Steve.hrrgtn: I had someone sending me memes to entertain me that made the time fly
Batking: must be one hell of a lucky guy
Steve.hrrgtn: assuming genders now?
Batking: oh sorry, are you cheating on me with another meme provider? Am I not enough for you now? You looked for someone else to keep you company?
Steve knows this is just teasing, that Eddie doesn’t believe that. Still.
Steve.hrrgtn: nah
Steve.hrrgtn: just you
****
Batking: okay were you going to tell me your mother is a fucking coppola
Steve.hrrgtn: she is a very respected lady
Steve.hrrgtn: also barely a coppola
Batking: still a coppola
Batking: you are a nepo baby
Steve.hrrgtn: every day it amazes me how little you know about me
Batking: I like keeping you humble
Batking: my brain doesn’t understand that the steve from my phone is really the Steve Harrington on tv sometimes
Batking: so I try not to see stuff about you on the internet
Batking: feels weird
Batking: MY ROOMMATE ON THE OTHER HAND
Batking: he was reading your wikipedia page and your mothers name was in blue so he started following the lead
Eddie had told him once that he hadn’t told his friends about what they had going on, that they just wouldn’t believe him. That must have changed. It makes Steve feel giddy.
Steve.hrrgtn: aw you finally told your friends about me?
Batking: they said they are happy to feed my delusions
Steve.hrrgtn: lmao
Batking: anyway that’s not the point here
Steve.hrrgtn: whats the point?
Steve.hrrgtn: you already knew I was rich and famous
Batking: yeah but this feels different
Batking: you are a nepo baby its like I should hate you
Batking: but you are such a good guy
Batking: from a rich family, hot, nice, funny…
Batking: you cant have everything its unfair
The rich family part doesn’t really do anything for Steve. It’s just a fact. But Eddie complimenting his personality and appearance? That always works on Steve.
Steve.hrrgtn: is this a way to get me to call you?
Steve.hrrgtn: because in the words of a metalhead I know
Steve.hrrgtn: flattery works on me
Batking: it wasnt at first
Batking: but I wont say no to a call with the most gorgeous man I’ve ever seen
Steve lets out a huff. Eddie and him both know what he did there.
He taps the call icon.
****
Steve stands frozen in the middle of his living room, the smile that had been on his face now completely wiped off. For the first time since he started talking to Eddie, his heart has dropped to his gut at one of his messages.
He keeps his gaze on his phone, the screen staring back at him.
There is a screenshot of a picture of him and Nancy coming out of a restaurant at night. He has his arm wrapped around her shoulders. That was just last night, Nancy had been upset and he had been trying to shield her from the flashes. The picture is accompanied by the headline ‘Caught in the act! Steve Harrington back with ex?’. Eddie’s message is under it.
Batking: glad you are having fun now that filming has finished
It’s- not right. Steve knows Eddie’s snarky comments, knows the feel his teasing. This is not it.
Steve.hrrgtn: I thought you didn’t look for stuff about my private life on the internet?
It comes out as defensive, and Steve instantly regrets it, but it had been one of the things he liked about Eddie, how he learned about Steve from him and not from rumours and the internet.
Batking: turns out that talking to you makes it unavoidable
Of fucking course it does. Who was Steve kidding? He knew this was bound to happen, that the media was going to be a problem at some point. He tries not to blame it on Eddie.
Steve.hrrgtn: it’s not like that
Steve.hrrgtn: she’s just a friend
Steve.hrrgtn: she had a fight with her boyfriend and needed a bit of a pick me up
Batking: you don’t need to explain yourself to me
And that’s the thing, isn’t it? At the end of the day, they have not even met each other in person. That doesn’t make this feel right.
Steve tries to imagine how he would feel if he saw Eddie having dinner with an ex. He doesn’t like the feeling at all.
Steve.hrrgtn: I still want you to know
He needs him to know.
Batking: really steve it’s okay
Batking: I shouldnt have sent that
Batking: Im not sure why I did
Steve has an idea why he did, but he is not going to say it, too afraid of fucking everything up if he does.
Steve.hrrgtn: its okay
Steve.hrrgtn: you are giving me an excuse to bitch about the lack of privacy and how much I hate paps
Steve is sure Eddie is going to recognize it as what this is. A weak attempt at diffusing the tension. Steve hopes it works.
Batking: you know im always open to listen to you bitching about your lavish life
It’s still a bitchy comment, but Steve lets out a sigh of relief. He recognizes that heat.
****
Batking: holy shit steve
That’s the only message on Steve’s phone, it’s the only message from Eddie for a couple of hours. Steve very patiently (or not) waits for him to elaborate, growing more and more nervous when he doesn’t.
Steve.hrrgtn: Eddie? Did you get murdered?
Batking: sorry I texted you as soon as I got the call and then the guys came over and I got swept way
Steve.hrrgtn: that’s okay
Steve.hrrgtn: but what happened? Something good?
Steve really hopes it’s something good.
Batking: we got a gig
Batking: like an actual gig
Steve.hrrgtn: holy shit eddie!
Steve.hrrgtn: that’s amazing
Batking: can I call you?
He doesn’t need to ask, he knows that. They are way past the point of internet acquaintances or friends who sometimes jerk off together on the phone.
Steve hits the video call button, and Eddie answers almost immediately. He is walking away from the cacophony of his friends, a blush high on his cheeks and his hair a mess even as he tries to brush it down. He looks stupidly good.
“Jesus, you look great,” are the first words out of Eddie’s mouth.
Steve snorts, he had been lying on the couch thirty seconds ago. His hair is a mess, he hasn’t shaved in two days. He never lets anyone see him like this. Eddie is different.
“Shut up. You got a gig!”
“We got a gig!”
“How did it happen?”
“You know my friend Chrissy?” Eddie asks. He closes a door behind himself and the noise is now gone, they are alone. Steve nods. “She got a job at a venue that doubles as concert hall and club and they are doing a metal week or something like that. They are bringing some very cool groups from all around the country- I’m so excited to see some of them- but that’s not the point. They wanted to give an opportunity to a local band and that’s where we come in!”
“They gave it to you?”
“They said they really like our vibe.”
“Of course they do,” Steve says with a snort. If Steve didn’t know better, he would say that Eddie just came out of a movie set set in the 80s. Perfect vibe for a metal week.
“Don’t laugh!”
“I’m not laughing! You do have the vibe. Tell me more about it, when’s this happening?”
“It’s very short notice but-“
Steve listens as Eddie tells him all about it, with his excited gestures and the wide smile that splits his face. They talk until Eddie’s friends come to get him to go for celebratory drinks.
As soon as the call ends, Steve calls Robin.
“How do you feel about going to Chicago in two weeks?”
****
The venue is loud. It’s already full when Steve and Robin arrive, just a few minutes before the concert starts. It’s not big, Eddie had told Steve so, but it still has a proper stage, and actual, stablished groups have concerts here. It’s a big step from the bar where Eddie and his friends usually play to an audience more interested on their drinks and conversations than in listening to them. People had to pay for this, even if it was a ticket that included a drink or if it was included into the week pass.
Batking: we are about to come out and I’m nervous as fuck
Steve.hrrgtn: I thought everyone already knew you were gay?
Batking: shut up
Steve.hrrgtn: don’t be nervous
Steve.hrrgtn: I know you are going to be amazing
Batking: I wish you were here
Batking: its going to be the gig of the century
Okay so Steve has not told Eddie that he was coming to see him, so what? He really wanted to see him in his natural environment, just him, not influenced by the knowledge that Steve would be in the audience.
Steve.hrrgtn: I’m always with you
Batking: you know what I mean
Steve.hrrgtn: don’t worry about that
Steve.hrrgtn: you go give the best performance all these people have ever seen
They stay out of the dancefloor slash pit, up in the balcony next to the cloakroom. They have a great view of the stage and the only reason Steve can think for them being the only ones here is that it may not be allowed, but an employee starts walking towards them and just turns around when he takes a good look at them.
Batking: okay we are coming out now
Batking: ttyl <3
Steve.hrrgtn: <3
“It’s starting,” Steve tells Robin. Just a couple of seconds later the lights dim and four figures take up their positions at the stage.
When the music starts, it is loud.
Steve feels so fucking proud. He had seen videos of Eddie’s band performing at bars or jamming in the studio they rent, but they are not like this, they are nothing like this. It’s like they had been living in a cage and were now released in the wild. Steve was fully prepared to lie to Eddie about what he thought of the concert. He has seen a lot of groups more experienced than Eddie’s that were not as good, that didn’t know how to hype up the audience like them, that weren’t so natural with it. Now, seeing Eddie on stage, he knows that he won’t have to lie about them being incredible.
Steve’s eyes can’t stray from Eddie. It’s like a magnet. Better than any video, better than any call. He can see the whole him, the way he moves, the way he smiles and his hair flows. The way his fingers move on the guitar. He can’t wait to be closer to him.
“Try not to ruin your underwear before you even meet him,” Robin yells into his ear. Steve pushes her away from him, but they are both laughing.
Steve has been wondering for days about how will Eddie react when he sees him for the first time. If it will be after the concert, when Steve inevitably makes his way to the green room, or if Eddie will be able to spot him in the audience. If maybe Steve will miss the moment Eddie’s eyes land on him.
The moment ends up being impossible to miss.
“Holy shit,” Eddie says into the microphone.
His eyes are focused on Steve, his mouth gaping. Steve laughs and waves to him and Eddie gives him a small wave in answer from the stage before his eyes jump back down to the audience.
“Holy shit you guys are great,” he tries to brush it off. “Keep the energy up for the next song!”
The concert continues, but now Steve catches Eddie’s eyes every few minutes, a smile coming to both their faces every time.
It’s not long before Eddie is speaking again.
“It is with great sadness that I must inform you that the next song is our last. Yes, yes, I know, very sad,” he says in response to the oohs from the audience. “I just wanted to take a minute to thank the organization for putting their trust on us and giving us this opportunity. Also to all of you good humans that decided to use your money to come see us, I expect your follows by tomorrow.” He starts playing, the others matching the rhythm. A repeating single note. “To all the metalheads and non-metalheads here,” he adds, louder, his gaze fixing on Steve. “I’m taking groupie applications. The requisites are: One! Be a male, sorry ladies. Two! Be 25 years old. Three! Have great hair. And four, have at least one teen choice award for best shirtless scene.” There are confused sounds from the audience, but Eddie is grinning and Steve is laughing. “Very easy to meet, the backstage door is impossible to miss.” He flicks his gaze to the side, and Steve follows it to see a door at the side of the balcony. He sends him a thumbs up. “Okay, lets rock this shit!”
The concert ends with a bang, and Steve and Robin scurry off to the backstage door before people start coming up to go out for a smoke, because not many people seem to be going home yet, the venue staying open as a bar. They don’t run into any problem because again, an employee takes one good look at their face and opens the staff only door for them. Steve has to admit that sometimes being so famous has its perks.
The sound of the music gets muted the moment the door closes behind them. The corridor is long, but they only have to follow the shouts of exited boys.
Eddie is the first person Steve sees when they get to the green room. He is jumping up and down while hugging his friends and they all scream. Steve crosses his arms and leans on the doorframe with a grin, Robin next to him. Eddie must catch the movement with his side eye because he stops and turns to them with a grin.
“I told you you were going to do great,” Steve says as a greeting.
The other boys finally stop too, and Steve sees the confusion and disbelief down on their faces when they take them in.
“Eddie, tell me I’m not seeing your imaginary boyfriend,” one of them says.
“You are Gareth, aren’t you? The roommate,” Steve says, pointing at him while he walks over. “Eddie has told me about you.”
Gareth takes his hand with his mouth wide open and barely a coherent thought behind his eyes. Steve sees Eddie’s eyes land with a laser focus on their clasped hands.
“Can’t believe I owe Chrissy twenty,” another boy says with a groan. Jeff, Steve is pretty sure.
“You bet I was making it up?” Eddie asks, offended.
“I bet you were too deep into a parasocial relationship.”
“And I bet you were getting scammed by a catfish,” the other boy says.
Robin lets out a cackle.
“I told Steve the same thing!”
They start talking around them, but Steve doesn’t care. He is two steps away from Eddie, he can see the sweat from the concert glistening on his skin, the deep brown of his eyes staring into him. He needs to close that distance. Before he can take a step forward, Eddie speaks.
“Do you want to come out for some fresh air? There’s a fenced back area for deliveries, should be empty.”
Does Steve want to go with Eddie to a spot with just the two of them? Fuck yeah.
“Yes! The air is so stuffy here, I might die if I don’t come out for a few minutes,” Robin says.
Eddie moves his eyes from Steve to her, his smile turning awkward.
“Right, yeah. Guys, we are stepping out for a couple minutes, okay?” Eddie calls out, taking a leather jacket from the back of a chair. “Follow me.”
Steve’s gaze drops to Eddie’s ass when he walks past them and back into the corridor. Fuck. He needs to close that distance.
Eddie holds the door to the outside for them, gesturing for them to come out with his other hand. His fingers are twitching, his whole body is, for that matter. He’s nervous, Steve can tell.
The door closes with bang after them, and they stand in the dimly lit outside. Robin is talking, and Steve feels just a bit bad about how Eddie and him are very obviously not listening to her.
Eddie is fiddling with the zippers of his jacket, his eyes roaming Steve’s body and flicking to Robin for a second from time to time.
They stay like that for a couple of minutes before Eddie takes a pack of cigarettes from a pocket of his jacket.
“You smoke?” he asks Steve.
“I’m an actor,” Steve says as answer.
Eddie smiles and, before Steve can reach out to grab a cigarette, Eddie has grabbed two and put both in his mouth. He moves to put the pack back in his pocket before he seems to remember that they are not alone and offers it to Robin, but she declines and starts talking about how tobacco is bad for your lungs and teeth, actually.
Steve can only look as Eddie lights both of the cigarettes at the same time and offers one to him. He takes it, their fingers brushing and sending electricity all through Steve’s body, their eyes fixed on each other.
“Okay, this is too much, I’m going inside.” Robin says, both boys turn to her. There is a beat of silence, and Steve realises she was waiting for one of them to say something, but they are both too late. “Your friend Chrissy was at the bar, right? I’ll tell her to get me a drink, you boys just… do whatever, no rush. Just- be careful or whatever.”
They stare at the door until it closes, the bang the one thing that makes Steve snap back towards Eddie. The boy is taking a drag of his cigarette and Steve mirrors him.
“Sorry, I just-“ Eddie starts. He is flicking the barely there ash. Steve can guess he needed something to do with his hands more than a real smoke. “Part of my brain is still trying to keep up with the fact that you are actually here and real and not a creation of my imagination.”
“Why? You fantasize about me that much?”
“Oh, you have no idea sweetheart,” Eddie answers with a sly smile.
Fuck. Hearing that directly from Eddie, looking at his face while he says it with no phone screen separating them is making the metre between them feel unbearable.
“You know what they say, sometimes you need to touch to believe.”
Eddie chuckles. “I’m not sure that’s right.”
But he still takes a step forward and the next thing Steve knows is that Eddie has a hand cupping his face and their lips are squeezed together in a messy kiss. Steve barely has time to answer to the kiss, drop the cigarette and grab Eddie back before the guy is pushing away and putting a hand up between them.
“Sorry, I should have- very real by the way.” Eddie says, punctuating the last part with a wave of his hand. “Great advice there, I-“
He can’t say more, because now it’s Steve pulling him closer into a kiss. There is no interruption now so the kiss goes on, and on, and Steve makes Eddie open his mouth to kiss him deeper, pulls him closer to him. This is everything he had hoped for and more. Eddie matches him beat to beat.
They get lost into it, until some voices come from their side, and Eddie pushes him away against Steve’s protests. He doesn’t allow him to go too far, one of his hands holding Eddie’s face and the other his hip close to his.
“You want to wake up to some scandalous headlines?” Eddie asks with a smile.
“Maybe they will get the memo if they find me on my knees for a guy.”
“Getting ahead of ourselves here, Steve,” Eddie says, but Steve sees how his eyes darken.
“Sorry, did you have better plans for tonight?”
Eddie shakes his head, “nothing that could beat corrupting the golden boy.”
“You think our friends will forgive us if we just leave?”
“Jesus, I really hope they do, I’m not stepping back inside and getting distracted.”
Steve laughs and kisses Eddie again, just a short press of lips. “Lead the way then.”

Stebitch: they are a very small band so no one was recording but I swear he did
+ do you guys think they are…. You know….
- Your mind
****
Steve walks back into the room with two glasses of water and kicks the door closed behind him. Eddie is still naked on the bed -Steve hasn’t put any clothes back on himself- and he is lying on his side, snickering while he looks at his phone. Steve stops, takes a second to admire Eddie’s naked back.
Steve’s phone pings on the nightstand. There’s only one person he has his sound on for.
“Did you seriously just send a meme to me?”
Eddie turns his face to look at him, “sorry, force of habit.”
Steve lets out a sigh and puts the glasses down on the nightstand. He gets on the bed and hugs Eddie from behind, hooking his chin on Eddie’s shoulder.

Tommy has three brothers.
You may think that this would have taught him how to share, but it didn’t. It taught him that if he wanted something to grab it quick and hold it tight.
Which is to say that he does not like Carol.
He is not thrilled when Steve asks their teacher if Carol can sit with them during snack time because Steve is his best friend. He found him first and he’s not letting go of him.
Especially not to some dumb girl that plays with dolls.
“Mr. Whiskers isn’t a doll. He’s a cat.”
“Mr. Whiskers is a dumb toy,” Tommy grouses, pulling on Steve’s backpack strap so he follows him. Steve says he likes toys and Tommy concedes because he likes toys too just - “Not dumb toys. I have cool toys. I can show you.”
And Tommy does. He drags Steve onto the bus with him. None of his brothers mention it when Steve gets off at their stop.
In fact, no one mentions it at all. Especially not to their mother so it’s something of a surprise when she turns around to find a boy in her kitchen. Not one of her boys but - “Hello?”
The little boy looks away from the pot boiling on the stove and asks, “How come you don’t have a microwave?”
“Mama says that I can’t use the stove ‘cause I’m not big enough,” He continues while Maria stares dumbfounded at him. “Tommy’s not big either and you don’t got a microwave. Does he just eat cereal?”
The boy blinks at her, “I’m Steve, by the way.”
“Steve,” She says slowly, connecting the name to Tommy’s friend from school. “Does anyone know you’re here?”
“I know I’m here.”
“Anyone else?”
“Tommy knows,” He says. “He’s in his room. We’re playing nascar.”
“That sounds fun,” She says, slipping into mom mode. She crouches down so they’re eye-level and smiles, “Why don’t I call your mom and let her know that you’re having fun?”
She can see the clogs turning in his head before Sleve slumps his shoulders. His bottom lip juts out and his eyes get shiny. She’s about to ask him what’s wrong when Tommy slides into the room on his socks and Steve tells him in a sad little voice, “Your mama wants me to go home now.”
Tommy promptly bursts into tears.
He doesn’t want Steve to leave. He’ll miss him and he hasn’t even showed him his GI Joe yet.
It takes a lot of soothing words, many reassurances that she’s not kicking Steve out, and the recruitment of her husband before the situation was calmed down. It’s only then that Steve - dry-eyed now - suggests, “I can call my mama.”
This is what Maria was trying to accomplish in the first place.
She takes Steve into the living room where their landline was. He dials his phone number carefully as her, her husband David, and Tommy watch. He gives her a reassuring smile, holding the phone to his ear.
“Hi, Mama! It’s Steve,” He says into the receiver. “I’m at Tommy’s. He’s my best friend and his mama said I can stay the night. Love you. Bye. Love you.”
He hangs up the phone before Maria could ask for it and informs her, “Mama is a super busy lady. She’s goin’ to the - to the store. She says she loves you.”
The boys run off to continue playing while Maria processes what the hell just happened. She’s still processing when David picks up the phone and presses the same buttons Steve had.
He holds the phone to his ear and gets the answering machine for, “The fucking Harringtons?”
#did Steve get teary eyed because he knew it would cause Tommy to throw a tantrum? who’s to say#are his parents not home and in fact in San Francisco? he’s not answering that either#why are you asking anyways? are you an undercover cop?#Steve definitely asked about the microwave because he makes himself dinner btw#steve is just so charmed by the whole sleepover experience that Tommy’s parents can almost forget that he obviously manipulated them#they can even forget that he’s Dick and Angie’s kid when#steve thanks them for the best day ever when the boys are being put to bed#they love this kid already#though Tommy’s brothers get a lecture of a lifetime bc how are you not going to mention that you brought a kid home??#steve harrington#tommy hagan

Jason being the easiest kid is super funny. Bruce looking at Jason and remembering Dick at 18: “we can work through this. He’ll come around if I don’t give up on.”
Bruce, watching over a freshly street-snatched Jason: Why is he so calm
Having Dick as the rambunctious, feral, and unhinged first child must've given him SO much whiplash once Jason entered the picture. Lil guy just vibed in his own world. Just reading books and doing schoolwork. Baby Jason hurt nobody.
Bruce will just be going over the ground rules of the manor, remembering all the chaos Dick brought upon the household.
Bruce: No swinging from the chandelier.
Jason: ?? I wasn't planning to?
Bruce: No murder.
Jason: What? That never even crossed my mind-
Bruce: And please, for the love of God, don't sneak out and try to beat up the nearest criminal on our block
Jason:
Jason: WHO is responsible for these rules being created??
Bruce will just come home from a long day of work. He's tired and just wants a nice, quiet evening, but he's subconsciously psyching himself up to prepare himself for the chaos he'll witness once he enters the manor
but then Jason's just quietly doing his own thing, maybe even helping Alfred with some chores, reading, or just lounging about in the manor. In general, just causing no trouble and Bruce just turns to Alfred, all worried like, "Is he sick? I don't think children are supposed to behave this way."
#Bruce putting 'No chandeliar swinging' before 'No murder' speaks volumes of the battles he's faced#baby jay was just a lil guy :')#Bruce having a wholesome relationship with jason from the very start: I didnt know this was possible#Bruce and robin!jason were so soft like please read the 80s comics they were SO cute fnksjvkosk#Dick visiting for the very first time since he left home: Why the FUCK is it so peaceful here#Dick not being angry about Jason becoming robin but instead being angry that his new brother isnt driving Bruce up the wall:#'are you even WORTHY of being my successor?? WHERE is your drive?'#jason todd#bruce wayne#batman#red hood#robin!jason#dick grayson#nightwing#batfam#batdad#batfamily#batkids#incorrect quotes#dc#crack#fanatical asks#fanatical posting#sidenote anon i am so sorry for not answering this earlier i always forget to check my asks ;-;

So like, y'all know that popular Star Wars fic trope of Time Traveling Obi-Wan Kenobi where he dies and then wakes up in his 11ish year old body back in the Jedi Temple? You know how usually he wakes up, has a few minutes/hours of confusion, and then goes about trying to act like he was at age 11 while slowly fixing everything wrong with the Jedi Order? Personally I think he would not do that.
I think that Ben "Lived As A Wizard Hermit For Two Decades On Tattooine, Left, And Then Died Immediately" Kenobi would wake up as an eleven-year-old, have a panic attack, attack the nearest adult Jedi while accusing them of Doing Weird Sith Shit To His Brain, fucking flee, only then realize he has time traveled, steal someone's ship, go flying out of the temple to god knows where, continue panicking, crash into a random moon while distracted, nearly die, build a survival camp out of his broken ass ship and eat whatever bugs he can find, get kidnapped by pirates, overthrow said pirates, steal their ship, and then very calmly return to the Jedi temple like nothing happened.
Then and only then do I think he would start trying to act like a normal human person (while also dodging questions such as "what the fuck was that" and "where were you" and "is that a pirate's ship?"), except he'd be bad at it due to having lived as an Insane Wizard Desert Hermit for the past twenty years who has experienced enough trauma and time that he doesn't super well remember the details of his childhood, what with all of the wars and death and wars and such.
His acting convinces nobody, but nobody is sure what exactly to do about All Of That so he's for the most part left alone (after very vehemently refusing sptherapy), all the way up until he catches a glimpse of palpatine out of the corner of his eye and then its On Sight
#mads posts#star wars#obi-wan kenobi#specifically i see fics where he gets blasted back to the past and he genuinely acts like he's 11 or whatever age again#and im like NO thats some fuckin weirdo inhabiting the body of an eleven year old#thats a fiftyish year old dude who looks eighty and thinks the best way to train Newly Discovered Force-Sensitive Luke is to blindfold and#shoot at him#he spent twenty years fucking around in a desert and left the planet one (1) time to go rescue leia#he cannot in any way act like a normal child are you kidding me#he was only ever 'normal' during the clone wars because he was standing next to Anakin 'hey watch this' skywalker#actually i think if obi wan were to try to act like a normal kid of the age he appears he would either wildly over or undershoot#he'd be like. huge eyes and babytalk and innocent expressions OR he'd forget he doesn't alr know the nuances of the Alderaanian government#but he couldnt pull off 'totally normal guy dont mind me'#obi wan doesnt manage to oneshot palpatine btw. that would be too boring#he steals the nearest available lightsaber and Goes For It and obv is stopped due to being shaped like a baby and having the strength of on#and then again refuses to answer any questions

Aneh, are you... done with good omens? if you are... I understand why. but, are you?
I'm still gonna be reading fanfic and occasionally liking fanart, and, as i mentioned, I may do something for s3 :")
But for now, my heart just isn't into making fanart for it anymore, and it hasn't been there for quite some time (Call me crazy, but I don't think it's normal to dissociate and panic when drawing a couple of characters you love)
The new article and the things described within it were the final nail in the coffin
I feel so guilty just dropping out like this but, gotta keep my noggin healthy and all that stuff kdcbkdn

Am I the only one who only thinks of the Scooby Doo collar when looking at Asa's? Once I saw it I couldn't think of it any differently and now everyone shall suffer.
(PS, I accidentally failed in a conversation with someone and brought up Vaginal Yeast Anon)
💀💀💀💀💀💀bro
but you have a point...have we ever seen Asa and Scooby-doo in the same room together at the same time? much to think about...
#nenafirerose#ask#ok the serious answer is that his cousin is the village metalsmith and made that for him#and in general like the rhombus shape is just the motif i go back to for all four of them#so they look coherent design wise#also this is so wild every time any of yall say that you talk about my blog to your friends like.#i forget that that's a thing that can happen#im on here talking about dick size discourse and elf breeding
