I think the fact that there are advertisements on cocomelon and advertisements on baby sleep soundtracks makes me feel unspeakable levels of violence.

The baby I was just rocking to sleep does not know what your product is and there is zero percent chance of them ever buying it or me remembering you fondly because you just woke the baby up who is now screaming in my ear if you had any thought that it's justified because just MAYBE I'll hear enough words to think about your product.

We are living in an increasingly breathless world that screams 'think of the children' as it loads yet more disruptive, loud adverts onto platforms and media for small children and quite honestly I think that 90% of advertisement should be illegal.

Here's another concept for Broken Horizon - a dragon pilot saddle! Ft. Alex as the model (and Riptide as the pilot, even if you can't see his face)

Modern saddles were jointly developed by dragons and humans post-war to make dragon riding safer and flying more precise, as regular reins and voice commands quickly became obsolete.

In these saddles the control sticks on the pilot's seat transmit inputs to the steering modules, which are then interpreted into nerve impulses for the dragon to follow. However they are not hard commands, and the dragon can still choose to ignore the impulses for any reason. This means that the dragon and the pilot must have an incredibly strong trust bond for the best performance.

A depressingly large amount of media has this idea that Character Development means the character in question slowly sloughing off everything that was interesting or spiky or unique about themselves to better approach one of a few acceptable archetypes of Healthy and Emotionally Mature role model material and it's basically universally a downgrade.

Fandom is probably several times worse about this.

Alfred has a few years ahead of him before he becomes unflappable, luckily he gets plenty of practice with Bruce.

Eddie lowkey outing himself by accident but Robin’s the only one that’s even certain that’s what’s happening

Eddie’s finally graduated and he’s having a celebratory bonfire with the Hellfire Club and Steve and Nancy and Robin at it. They’re out by Skull Rock so that they won’t get shit or noise complaints from other people in the trailer park. They’ve already ceremonially burned 6 years worth of Eddie’s notes and homework and failed tests by the time Eddie goes off on his own

Which later, he’ll realize wasn’t a great choice. But it’s supposed to be safe in Hawkins with all the gates closed now and in the moment, he just knows that his bladder has caught up to all the drinking and he really needs to take a leak. And okay, maybe he goes a little further away from everyone than is strictly necessary, but he has a shy bladder

And it’s fine at first. He takes a piss and zips his pants back up and goes to head back to where everyone else is but then he gets cut off by the latest kind of demo-monster to be on the loose in Hawkins and he has nothing on him but his wallet, his lighter, and a pack of cigarettes so he is certain that he’s really dead meat this time

He stumbles backwards in his rush to get away from the demo-thing and ends up falling over a broken branch and landing on his ass. The things still moving closer and they’re not supposed to like fire, so he pulls his lighter out and holds the pathetic little flame at arm’s length and yells at it to keep back as if that’s going to do anything. He shouts at it as loud as he can, but he’s the one that brought the boombox and set the volume at the highest so he’s not holding out a lot of hope about being heard and he doesn’t know that it would really help if any of them heard him anyway. So mostly he just thinks he’s dragging out his own death by making the thing come after him slightly more hesitantly because of the fire

But Steve notices Eddie sneak off on his own and it hasn’t been that long, but he thought he’d be back by now, so he’s already contemplating going to check that he’s fine when he hears something off in the direction Eddie went over the shitty music

And clearly Nancy heard it too because she’s already rushing off in that direction and while Robin and the kids rush after her to see what’s going on and Eddie’s out of the loop friends look at each other confused about what’s going on, Steve grabs a big ass stick off the ground and pours the last of his drink over the end and dunks it in the fire and then grabs a big ass bottle of vodka for good measure because even though he couldn’t totally hear what Eddie called out and even though this might just be Eddie up to his usual dramatics on the way back, Steve knows there’s a very real chance that it’s not and that once again the nightmare with the Upside Down isn’t really over like they thought it was and there’s no way he’s risking rushing in as weaponless as everyone else and putting them all in danger. He’ll be the weird guy that chased Eddie with a flaming tree branch to his Hellfire friends if he has to be because he’ll take that over risking anything happening to anyone there

Eddie’s lying on his back on the ground with the full body weight of the demo-thing on him and he’s got his eyes clenched shut and he’s holding on tight to his lighter with his hands up with to protect his face as if that’s going to do anything to stop this thing from ripping him to shreds, but then suddenly there’s a squelching thwack and then an awful ear-splitting screeching and there’s nothing holding Eddie down anymore. He opens his eyes and sees Steve beating the thing with a flaming tree branch and Nancy grabbing an equally large not flaming stick to join in while everyone else rushes over to check that Eddie’s okay. And then Steve warns Nancy to back up and throws the vodka bottle at the demo-thing and lights it fully on fire

It takes a bit for it to burn and Eddie to remember how to stand back up, but by the time he does, Eddie’s adrenaline is still running wild and he’s floating on the natural high that comes with narrowly escaping death. He tells the kids he’s fine and gets up and then turns to Steve and starts heading toward him while he laughs and gushes, “That was incredible. I was sure I was sure I was a goner and then there you were just casually pulling off the most badass move I’ve ever seen out of anyone. Seriously dude. That was awesome. I swear I could kiss you right now.” Which he emphasizes by grabbing Steve’s face in both hands and then planting a quick dramatic kiss on him and he only really realizes what he’s done in front of everyone after he’s already let go of his face so he quickly rushes to add, “Seriously, I could kiss all of you right now” but then nope, that’s not a good cover either and he realizes as soon as the words are out of his mouth, so he quickly adds, “I mean not any of you kids because that’d be weird, but” and thankfully Robin chimes in with “I’m good without” and Nancy quickly adds that she is too so Eddie doesn’t have to start kissing all of his friends near his age just to try to cover for the whole heat of the moment kissing Steve before thinking it through thing. And Steve hasn’t hit him, so that’s a good sign that he might get out of this with people just assuming this is another one of his eccentricities and nothing serious

The kids and Nancy just assume that the kiss was just an extension of his dramatics and that he thought it would be funny. Robin is onto Eddie, but not about to say anything about it. Steve’s too busy with his internal huh, okay… apparently I like that to even start considering Eddie’s motives until long after the kiss has actually happened

Please! Fae!Konig basically advertising you as a day care so he can see you with more babies. OR OOOR KIDNAPPING FAE CHILDREN PRETENDING THEY JUSY SHOWED UP. He only stops after one of them tries to eat you.

"Oh, the seedling is back," he says staring down the toddler on your hip. You look up from where you're fussing with a display. He's later than usual today. Whatever, it's none of your business what he does when he isn't bothering you.

"Yeah, their mom stopped by before open. Said she'd be back around 1, and the kid was pretty easy last time so why not." You bounce the little critter on your hip, watching it collapse against your shoulder in that funny way babies do. König stares at it. His lengthening silence is really starting to worry you.

"Kinda starting to freak me out big guy," You tell him, handing the kid a daisy so they stop yanking on your necklace.

"You like children," He says slowly, like he's feeling you out for a bigger question. You narrow your eyes at him, trying to get a read on what that next question might be. He doesn't meet your gaze, eyes on anything but you as he fidgets with the hem of his shirt.

"I guess? I mean," you look down at the toddler -the seedling König called it- and it's chubby baby cheeks, "they're cute when they're like this." This being well behaved and not trying to burst your eardrums with their screams.

"And you are not upset that it is here?" You stare up at him where he looms over you, the angle makes your neck hurt. His fidgeting his stopped, and there's something excited in his eyes. Plus he's bigger, he tends to be bigger when he's excited.

"What did you do?"

Your shop is overrun with tiny adorable monsters by 11 am. Most of them are big enough to wander around and stare bug eyed at the flower displays, but one is passed to you still swaddled. You try to protest but the mother puts actual paper money in your hand before going to peruse your new fertilizer selection, so you let it slide. You've recruited the older children to terrorize König, since he all but admitted this was his fault.

He's sitting on the floor near your gift display letting one little girl stick stickers to his hood while another ties ribbons around his arm. He catches a little boy around the middle as he runs by and wrestles the giggling child into playing with the girls. It's cute, he'd be a good dad.

His head jerks to look at you so fast you think he'll get whiplash as soon as the thought crosses your mind. Coincidentally this is also when the swaddled baby bites you, tiny needling teeth ripping through your tee and into your skin. You swear loudly without thinking and the seedling holding your other hand(the only one supposed to be here) echoes you in its sweet little voice.

You think very mean thoughts at König as he bandages your shoulder. At least he has the decency to look apologetic.
