Modern Steddie where Dustin is a big, big Corroded Coffin fan. He talks about it all the time, to the point where Steve has to physically shut him up whenever he gets too annoying.

One night, Steve is at the convenience store buying some snacks for his movie night with the kids that week, when he sees a familiar face close to the noodles display rack. He has to double-check, then google it real quick just to make sure, because Steve’s brain just can’t really believe Eddie Munson, Corroded Coffin’s lead singer and guitarist, is looking at a noodles display rack, late at night, in a convenience store in Hawkins, Indiana.

But it is him, there’s no doubt.

If it was any other celebrity, Steve would let the person be, but it’s Eddie Munson, the man Dustin’s idolized since he was twelve. Steve’s never gonna be able to forgive himself if he doesn’t at least ask the guy for an autograph and a picture; Dustin is never gonna forgive him if Steve doesn’t do it, really.

With that in mind, Steve approaches the guy. The only problem? Eddie Munson turns out to be a total dick.

He’s super rude, impatiently dismissive when Steve tries to talk to him. Steve can’t even finish a sentence before Munson is basically telling him to get lost. And Steve? Steve gets furious. Because that’s Dustin’s idol right there and the man is a fucking asshole.

“Oh, fuck you,” Steve snaps back. “You think you can treat people like shit just because you’re famous? Big fucking deal. Being famous doesn’t make you special, just makes you a well-known prick.” He starts to turn around to stomp out of the store but thinks better of it and faces Munson again. “And for the record, I don’t  even like your music; I think your band sucks. But I guess meeting you was not a waste because now I have arguments to convince Dustin to stop following your work. Good night.”

Steve heads out without looking back, leaving a bewildered Eddie Munson behind. He can buy his movie night snacks somewhere else, Steve decides as he drives off.

Three days later, Steve’s having breakfast when a delivery man shows up at his doorstep, claiming he’s got a delivery for him. Steve signs the form and accepts the package, a confused frown on his face as he closes the door and walks back to the kitchen.

Inside the box there are two tickets to the Corroded Coffin concert that’s about to happen next weekend in Indianapolis, two backstage passes, a lot of band merch and a card.

“Thanks for knocking some sense into me the other day, I think I needed that. Hopefully, you can let me make it up to you and Dustin.

Eddie.”

Dustin’s face when Steve shows him the box is priceless; he has so many questions his brain takes a whole minute to catch up.

"that doesn't sound sincere- it sounds rehearsed" is one of the most devastating and fucked-up statements you can make to anyone in the neurodivergent/ADHD/Autistic/Schizophrenic/Disordered Personality sphere. yeah bitch it's rehearsed. because i wanted to get it right when i said it

I have never once wished for Tolkien to still be alive as much as I do in this moment

All that is gold does not glitter,

Not all those who wander are lost;

The old that is strong does not wither,

Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,

A light from the shadows shall spring;

Renewed shall be blade that was broken,

The crownless again shall be king.”

I was reading earlier today about how, in Scandinavian folklore, the nomenclature that's usually rendered as "ring" in modern English can variously refer to bracelets, armlets, or torcs as well as to finger rings. It's usually clear from context which is intended, though there are some legendary "rings" whose form is not specified in surviving accounts.

This ambiguity is, of course, not present in Tolkien's Lord of the Rings; though the work and its titular object are inspired by these sagas, the One Ring is clearly described as a finger ring. However, my brain has seized upon the finger-ring-or-bracelet ambiguity and spontaneously produced an anachronistic 1990s teen movie version of The Lord of the Rings in which the One "Ring" is a cursed slap bracelet.

Imo, atla has a bittersweet ending

Aang is sitting alone and wearing the air nomads clothes, his culture clothes, a necklace similar to GYATSO's necklace. I can't even imagine the emptiness and sadness he was feeling here

There are no airbenders in the crowd

All nation gathered..... except the air nomads.

No one else in the crowd wearing orange or yellow.

Aang won the war, but his people are still gone.

Yes, he has the Gaang, he has Katara, he has Momo and Appa. But he's still the last airbender.

This is so heartbreaking.

If it comes from parents who model the behavior they want to see, then this is good parenting.

The problem is that many parents don't model this behavior. Many parents are authoritarian and rule by fear. Many parents take advantage of the fact that they're bigger, they control the finances, their power is upheld by society, and their children are dependent on them. And they complain when their child starts treating people the exact same way.

I thought Tumblr would get a kick out of this

Conversational skill check: Work acquaintance mentions in an offhand tone with no discernible expression that they have recently lost over 20 pounds. They fail to elaborate. A response is expected.

Me, rolling a 6: …On purpose?

please actually watch this all the way through

An idiot robin has built a nest on top of our garage door motor. The nest was constructed so the chain that drives the door is actually a part of the nest, and if we open or close the garage door, the whole thing is going to get torn apart. So I guess the garage door is staying open for as long as it takes for these eggs to hatch and these birds to leave the nest.

My wife has set up a camera to continuously monitor the situation.

Wife: Maybe we should set up some padding beneath where they'll fall out of the nest? Normally they fall onto grass, not concrete. Me: Seems like we're really coddling these birds. Wife: Well, yeah. Me: I just don't want you to get invested. Wife: Way, way too late for that. I'm all in.

So we're keeping the garage door open for a few weeks, I guess. Whenever I go to use the car, the robin flies away from the nest and watches me cautiously to see whether I'm going to kill her babies, and I can't help but find that a little bit rude of her.
