Episode 37 screenshots let's gooooooooo

Sorry in advance there is like, twice as many screen shots here as last time

As usual spoilers for episode 37 but nothing tremendously plot important

Not even a full second into the intro : "I hate myself" - Andy

Richie:

He's thinking of all the funny ways to edit this

"Cold.. Twist..." "Derek man, sometimes I don't know half the shit that comes out of your mouth"-Andy

I already have 2 screenshots I haven't even made it to the bean footage yet

Torbeks TO-DO list my beloved

I love Nikkie's reaction to something sad Torbek said

Compared to Mace's reaction to the exact same thing

I could tell you what's going on here, but it wouldn't make anymore sense. Let's just say it had to do with a pool of acid, Frog Gricko, and Torbeks buttcheaks. Frost is not very Impressed

"Torbek looks like he's wearing a pair of furry ass-less chaps"-Nikkie "He looks like a baboon, it's all red" - Derek

"The acid might have cured the hemorrhoids though Torbek doesn't feel- Ah, they're still there" - Torbek "I don't think those are hemorrhoids Torbek..." - Gricko

"I called that it was a three floor dungeon, pay up Torbek" - Gricko

Kremy : Don't worry Torbek we aren't judging you

Also Kremy :

Poor Torbek, lol

Scooby Dooby Doo, Gricko is referencing you he also gave us some colecroux content, it;s funny that we get as much GideonxKremy content from Nikkie and Mike as we do from Richie and Mace

"No no no, we agreed that it was poopy butthole"

"I'm going to go to door number... 2!" peak humor right here

Andy, almost whispering : What the Fuck

they're watching Gideon and Kremy pretend to be just friends

"The crotch is all eaten out"

"FROSTY YOUR A GENIUS" - Gricko "It only took you 37 episodes"-Kremy

goofy guy

"MAAD-SALT-JIZZ" - Torbek.... yep

He is making some... pretty loud slurping noises

It's a Chamber Pot

I don't have a caption for this other than various screeming

"You have to earn all that gold if you want to make a giant golden cock"

AAAAAND SCENE

[theosb0rnway]

Just finished the Bad Batch finale and HOLY SHIT IT WAS SO FUCKING GOOD

SPOILERS BELOW THE CUT

THEY ALL LIVED!!! HOLY SHIT THEY ALL LIVED I CAN'T BELIEVE IT--

So um.... yeah Tech's still not dead to me, CX-2 is alive, everything is fine, we'll see him soon, it's fine-

Crosshair GOT HIS HAND CUT OFFFF- Not the biggest Crosshair fan but I still feel so bad.... BYT AT LEAST HE MADE THE SHOT AND SAVED OMEGA AND HE GETS A HAPPY ENDING NOW

Speaking of happy endings, THEY ALL GET TO GROW OLD!!!! I'M SO FUCKING HAPPY FOR THAT, I'M SO GRATEFUL THEY GET TO LIVE THAT PEACEFUL LIFE THEY WANTED, EVEN IF WE DIDN’T GET TO SEE IT

GONKY'S ALIVE AND WELL, THANK THE FORCE

Emerie helped the kids escape I'm so glad they all made it too AND THE KIDS LOOKED SO CUTE ON PABU WITH MOX, DEKE, AND STAK

ECHO'S STILL ALIVE AND HELPING THE CLONES FIGHT, HELL YEAH

They rescued the clones!!!! I'm SO FUCKING HAPPY they did

HEMLOCK AND RAMPART ARE FUCKING DEAD, LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOO

Rampart was a double-crossing son of a bitch and he got what he deserved. Rest in peace, Nala Se. You may not have always been on the right side, but you died doing the right thing.

Did I mention that I don't think Tech is dead?

The CXs were SO COOL I wish we got to see more of them!!!

DID I MENTION THAT I DON'T THINK TECH IS DEAD?!? (I'm not losing hope guys, I'm not-)

The Zillo beast absolutely RIPPING UP TANTISS was fucking FANTASTIC and I love it and it was VERY VERY MUCH DESERVED

Baryn is me, I need loud destructive noises to fall asleep LOL (this is why I can only fall asleep to FNAF songs in my ears-)

Seeing grown up Omega made me cry, and I love that older Hunter looks like pretty much every older Hunter fanart ever drawn-

Wish we could have seen older Wrecker and Crosshair, and GIVE ME SCENES OF BOTH OF THEM HEALING, PLEASE- (Crosshair did not eat on screen the ENTIRE SEASON I don't like that at ALL.)

Overall, I thought the finale was a solid 9 1/2 out of 10, the only thing that could have made it better was a CX-2 is Tech reveal, but... I mean I got everything else, so I'm not entirely disappointed.

I'm still staying VERY MUCH a part of this fandom, sorry not sorry to my followers who came for the Ninja Turtles and got Star Wars copy-paste men instead-

As I mentioned, I do have a Bad Batch project coming out soon, and I guess I could call it a fix-it now... but yeah, I'm not done with Star Wars and at this point in my life, I really don't think I'm leaving this fandom any time soon. Yes, it has some issues, as all fandoms do, but it's where I fit best at the moment. I'll still be posting other stuff, but Star Wars and the Scream franchise are my main fandoms for now.

Thank you to the cast and crew of this WONDERFUL show, you did it again, Star Wars. (*puts TBB in my top 3 TV shows of all time*)

And thanks to all my friends here on Tumblr who helped me get into this show and traded theories and so much more! (Also special thanks to @atyourdinosaurs for all of your love, theories, and ideas [and for inspiring my new project], and to @casp1an-sea and @thecoffeelorian for being two amazing friends I made from this fandom!)

We had a great run, guys. It's a honor to love this show and to be here for its final moments. Here's to more Star Wars and to more Bad Batch content in the future.

I just had the best time ever aghhdhfhf

So basically today an order of mine arrived... I got these cool digging gloves with the claws on them!

I helped my dad with some digging work in our garden, which is really just dirt with a ton of weeds...

And it felt so euphoric. I was digging faster than him, even though he had a pickaxe- I was fighting with these absolutely gigantic thistles, high enough to reach my elbows, and because the soil was incredibly hard to break through at the surface I basically tunneled underneath them and dug out their roots from the side? It looked like the entrance to a den!!!!! I DUG A DEN!!!!!!!!!

I also saw so many insects and slugs! We accidentally broke open an ant hill (you could see their eggs and everything) so I tried evacuating them so they wouldn't get hurt... One of the ants was a very light brown while the others were black... Either the ant queen of that species is white, or I saw a male albino ant!!!! :D

Aaaa!!! I also did quads while working and that was so much fun!!!!! I got so much dirt on me it was EVERYWHERE, even in my clothes and hair! I also ate raspberries and man... What a wonderful day!

That made me realize that uhm. I am definitely a badger. I'm a badger! Man, just typing that out fills me with so much euphoria!!!

I'M A FUCKING BADGER LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOO💥✨🌈🦡🫐🌿🌲

Here's the link to the gloves btw! They worked pretty well and are absolutely amazing as gear!

[upsidedownsmore]

oh yeah forgot to share but yesterday I FINALLY BEAT RINGFIT AFTER MORE THAN A YEAR LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOO (and nearly passed out fighting the final boss lmao)

Honestly, Ringfit is such an underrated gem of a game, when I first started borrowing it from a friend I never expected it would become a nearly daily routine for me and yet here we are. The amount of care and thought put into this game shows and I can't be thankful enough that it exists.

If you're looking for a way to exercise even just lightly in a fun and engaging way and you have a Switch then please get this game it's so worth it

Can't wait to go into ng+ :)

[sandeewithtwoe]

WOOOOOOO!!

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOO

Ok now, I’m gonna start thanking mutuals that have just been awesome to me, even though I know I don’t talk a lot and it’s hard to keep in touch with me

@sketchingstars03 for being a big supporter at the very beginning of my journey here on tumblr. Your tags/comments always cheer me up and you’ve just been a beacon of good vibes to me

@karineverse for always being so nice to me- I don’t even think “nice” is a good enough word for how awesome of a person you are. You always show excitement and love for everyone’s art, it’s amazing

@somegrumpynerd for leaving the nicest tags I’ve ever read. Not even just that, but your comics and posts about the bad sanses always leave me thinking about them for another 20 minutes, which inspires me to make even more art

@whittlore for reaching out to me and being a wonderful mutual, like talking to me and tagging me on funny stuff. You always bring positive energy every time I see you on my feed

@anamdreams69 for sharing with me your creative ideas and making my nights better with your silly jokes. Talking with you on discord will always be a great time

@hexcia for making awesome character design that motivates me to make silly characters in my head. I sometimes look at your art to give myself inspiration for my own OCs you have no idea

@meglyfer (didn’t expect me to tag you huh?) you always interact and reblog literally all of my posts and I wanted to thank you so much for that. I know we don’t talk a lot but I always read your tags and I always appreciate seeing you in my notifications

AHHH AND THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR FOLLOWING ME!!! FOR READING THIS!!! AND FOR BEING ALIVE!!! YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING!!!

[catherine-sketches]

Thinking about the Andal’s law and the Targaryens

King Jaehaerys broke the andal’s law by choosing Baelon over Rhaenys when Aemon (the heir, Baelon’s brother and Rhaenys father) died.

On the law it’s “a son before a daughter, but a daughter before an uncle” or in other words “you have to exhaust the line of the heir before you even consider his brother”.

King Jae set a precedent for ONLY the royal family when he did that. Thanks a lot man 😒 Alysanne was to good for you.

If we actually follow the Andal law it would go:

Rhaenyra is heir over Daemon (that’s should have been true from the start and Nyra should have been taught how rule from the first miscarriage after her birth onwards so she would not be so greatly unprepared in her early years)

Aegon is heir over Rhaenyra (and now it starts to get juicy. Because if Vissy T wanted for Rhaenyra to remain heir regardless he should have made everyone make an oath again and prepared the realm better for it)

(Vissy T why the fuck didn’t you pull a Baelon the brave, ya know, your dad, and idk DIDNT MARRY AGAIN IF YOU WERE SO SET IN NYRA BEING HEIR?? Let Daemon father the spares you dumb idiot)

But now with war on the horizon we now have the word of the king vs andal laws vs the widow’s law (that also has the problem of being vague as fuck) vs right of conquest (because now it’s a power thing. The one that wins call dibs)

Don’t you guys love fictional politics that could be solved by an internal council between members of the family without adding the lords and the poor small folk into the mix ?

But no, diplomacy is for peasants, battling with our nukes with wings is the answer

Crazy PTSD for the survivors here we gooooooooo

WoT Musing: Episode 5 Live Thoughts

I was so exhausted after work I ended up more or less passing out/napping for several. Just now woke up and am watching the episode and already digging the heck out of it

Seanchan Court politics lets gooooooooo. I continue to really adore the visual aesthic they've chosen for the Empire.

Fucking, I love the subtle intricatices of the Seanchan their including. Suroth tries to use her Voice to speak to Turak which is a major insult (since it implies he's not worth speaking to directly) and he SHUTS THAT SHIT DOWN INSTANTLY. It also includes the minor detail from the books that these two hated each other.

OKAY BUT THE WAY THE TRUE POWER LOOKS LIKE TAR AND THE TAINT ALL ROLLED INTO ONE, BRILLIANT

My girl! She is here!

Also hi Dain!

.....It is very weird to see Dain flirting with Perrin, and honestly funny. This will make their later interactions very funny.

Hi Valda! I continue to wonder if you're our 'Bors' now.

'They'll have to sleep sometime and then I'll have them'. Ah yes, Lanfear's status as Tel'arian'rhiod Queen (even though Moggy is better then her there).

Aw yeah Verin scene time- I love the way she still manages to doge questions she dosne't want to answer.

Suorth's temerity is fascinating to me as an externalization of her own conflict int he series: her Seanchan cultural conditioning VS her own selfish desires that drove her to the Shadow

God the 4d Chess between Sheriam, Liandrin and Verin is DELICIOUS

The name drop of Gender Flipped Galladrin is very funny

DANG ISHAMAEL

All the Forsaken continue to crave Rand carnally and it is DELICIOUS that we are getting to see it on screen

FUCKING LANFEAR 'Moghiden is insane, Graendal is a vain idiot, and the boys couldn't execute a plan if they where under Compulsion' RUTHLESS

'Because I alone among the Chosen believe in the Dark' THE SHOW CONTINUES TO VALIDATE MY UNDERSTANDING OF THE SERIES AND AM LIVING

Ohhhhhhhh, that effect on the Adam is INTERESTING.

AW YEAH CRUCIFIXION SCENE

I can feel the series ramping up to the final two episodes of the season and i am eXCITE

AMBROSE BASSFORD: autism?

hi!!!! welcome to part 1 of "i've got some thoughts on adamandi" >:) i have some other analysis that i do want to share about other things, not just randomly diagnosing fictional characters! but this post is about ambrose being on the autism spectrum <3

i'm not a medical professional by any means, but this is just coming from both my experience as an autistic person and the research i've been able to do about the disorder. and other people's experiences! please dont come for me if things are just a touch inaccurate. without further ado: lets fucking gooooooooo!

[ID: ambrose bassford with his hands on vincent lin's shoulders. he is looking into the distance with a determined look in his eye. vincent looks towards him with concern. end ID]

(please excuse my terrible quality screenshots. um. yeah.)

i'll also preface this by saying that yes, much of this is also informed by his status as a transgender student in the early-mid 1900s. i still think it's fun to analyze and compare my (and others') experiences to his!

THE MARMORIUS SOCIETY

[ID: preston monterey and adrian farthington (or miscellaneous marmorei) putting a letterman jacket on ambrose. ambrose is smiling. there is a caption at the bottom reading "rooftops that nobody frequents where secret societies meet" in all caps. end ID]

firstly, i will address the marmorius society. i'm fairly certain that the marmorei in "word to the wise" are meant more to represent the then-present-now-past members that welcomed ambrose freshman year rather than preston and adrian, but thats ok. what matters more is the subtext in word to the wise that we can glean from the choreography and interactions between ambrose and vincent. beginning the song, and similarly his freshman year, ambrose struggles to fit in like each of the other students entering ardess. he initially seems more comfortable interacting with vincent, but then gets taken in by the marmorei. this is exactly where his mannerism and attitude shift

here, we see ambrose fitting in (or, making an attempt to) with the other marmorei. from vincent's account, we know that ambrose's actions and behaviors almost completely changed after becoming part of the society. this is a really roundabout way of saying hey, ambrose found a place where he thinks he might belong! rather than learning and adapting to normal and regular social rules, he latches onto and mimics a very specific subset of people. to him, they know what they are doing and they have a way of being social that he can't understand so he mimics instead of just adjusting the way he already was. this mimicking makes a bit of sense in that he's not quite conforming to social cues (he still doesn't exactly fit in), but he's trying to. it feels to me a bit like how it is to feel alienated from your peers, even though you are trying your hardest to mask. of course, his "off"-ness is also contributed to by his transness so take that as you will.

2. WHAT DID HE JUST SAY?

[ID: ambrose is standing facing vincent. vincent is facing him with his hands to his back uncomfortably. the caption reads. "i've been looking to include more variations in body type." end ID]

this one is shorter than the marmorius society bulletpoint. actually, most of them are. that one is long winded. ANYWAY, ambrose is kind of... interesting when it comes to his interactions. specifically, he encourages vincent to join the marmorei by saying he's been "looking to include more variations in body type." to him, he's being completely honest and genuinely wants vincent to take interest in his phaethon project. unfortunately, to both vincent and much of the audience, this comes off as comically insensitive at best or offensive at worst. this comes from a lack of awareness of social cues, similar to the lack of knowledge of social norms from the previous bulletpoint. while he knows how to conform to the marmorei, there is still a lot of social cues he needs to work on. often, autistic people will speak bluntly and honestly in their communication. this is really not that far off, even if it was just a little gag!

3. OMG, SENSORY ISSUES!

[ID: caption reading, "he didn't eat the apple because he said he didn't like how its flesh felt on the skin of his thumbs." end ID]

kind of self explanatory. all metaphors aside, ambrose doesn't like the flesh of a peeled apple on his thumbs. i understand (<- i loooove peeled apples though)

4. BLACK AND WHITE THINKING: IF NOT ME, WHO?

[ID: lyrics reading, "if i was stronger i could fix this; / cut the bad and leave the good / be the marble and the sculptor / like my father says i should." end ID]

[ID: lyrics reading, "so my parents and my girlfriend / my closest friends and you / will know i deserve their love / once there's no more work to do / there are only three people who'll be perfect in their eyes / me, myself, and i" end ID]

two screenshots! often, autism causes what can be called "black and white" or polarized thinking. it's like, there's only one solution or there are only the extremes (although, this isn't to be confused with the black and white thinking associated with BPD. i don't have experience on that but ive heard quincy and vincent can fit the bill). for ambrose, there's only one solution to both his dysphoria and distorted self worth: becoming the perfect man by... becoming marble or whatever. as if there is only ONE way to do this, without alternative methods. i sometimes find myself in the same spiral, and have meltdowns either when it doesn't work out or if i'm offered an alternative solution that goes against what i thought might work. even in the second screenshot here, we see that he thinks the only way to earn love is through this specific task. he cannot be unconvinced, even if vincent tries to offer him an alternative solution.

5. WHY APOLLO, BOYS?

[ID: ambrose is hanging off a ladder, his hand out and mouth open singing. the caption reads, "apollo's look is yours: sound body, sound mind" in all caps. end ID]

this is where i dip more into the headcanon territory than i already have. i couldn't really include every screenshot where he talks about a) apollo, b) sculpture, or c) fitness. this is kind of part of his character in general but i like to think of it as his special interests. it's remarkable how many autistic people i know who have majored in something related to their spinterests (including myself! in a way)

6. DON'T FLATTER YOURSELF, LIN!

[ID: vincent awkwardly puts a hand on ambrose's arm, ambrose looks at him longingly. end ID]

ambrose... did not interpret the social cues correctly in the scene directly after "sound body, sound mind." it's really just written in the text, but just in case, i will remind you that vincent pretty much says "hey, i kind of strived to be like you because i had this incorrect assumption of who you were, sorry about that lol" and ambrose took it all wrong and thought this was a romantic advance. he just... didn't interpret it right. honest mistake, but a very common mistake among autistic people. and, unrelated to the autism thing, his comeback isn't smooth at all lmao

THERE YOU HAVE IT! i'm sure there could be more to be said, but my hands hurt (disability) and i can't think of any more off the top of my head. feel free to add on with anything you want to say!!!! thank you for reading!!!! here's the sillies for you, as a reward for getting this far :)

[ID: preston, ambrose, and adrian with their arms on each others' shoulders, stepping in sync. end ID]

[saskiavalentineapologist]

SO

saskia and belialah. the empress and her shadow.

...im breaking my own rule of not posting any more original creations here but idgaf---i'll post some sketches and if there's interest i can throw this fic i'm working on up on ao3 for the monsterfuckers in the audience

so, backstory on THESE TWO:

i'm gonna go in real life order of events and talk about some of the inspos that went into some of these moments and where they were in our real life timeline of Experiencing these two

under the cut bc i must remain polite in the face of my hyperfixations

HELLO I MAY BE POLITE BUT IM RABID LETS GOOOOOOOOO

ok so, canonical order of events: saskia (matriarch) and belialah (demon lord) meet, they establish an alliance, belialah does stuff for saskia. at some point, saskia starts amassing her generals (we'll get there) and chooses belialah. somewhere in here as well, saskia splits from the empire and starts doing her Evil Deeds for her Evil Plans. I'm not sure which of the last two came first. in either case, lost later meets belialah, we haven't seen her (physically) since (but that's not a good thing i don't think)

irl order of events:

Saskia throws a Fit, kills her nephew, and withdraws from the empire at large. we make fun of her because though she's the big bad, she's also weirdly wet and pathetic. we hate her. she's so sucks. and also so sexy. its bad

time goes by, things happen, eventually there's a big party with all the matriarchs!!! yaaaaay

lost and gilt go because ofc we do, and there's a big dance where everyone keeps changing partners. at the end of the dance, lost gets belialah

...elven ish woman. obviously weird. too pale skin. black hair. disheveled appearance. ill-fitting dress. holds herself weird. talks with a tremble and a breathiness to her voice that immediately makes us uncomfortable (my mans can do some fuckin VOICES and don't get me started on the sound effects). belialah says she's a huge fan---of lost's father. the being from before creation whose whole thing is "immortal life but not in the good way" instead of "you won't die" it's "you can't die" there is no death to escape from life, no matter the suffering.

so--red flags.

she tells lost that she's one of saskia's generals, and that saskia sent her to give lost a message: saskia is so excited for her to come home, and that lost should bring her brothers (6 beings of various otherworldly heritage like lost--saskia has a type and it is monsters) when she comes home. Lost tells her to tell saskia, from her and gilt, to fuck off.

belialah goes...monstrous. red eyes start popping open all over her skin and she gets quiet and threatening about how lost is disrespectful and how--yeah, she will tell saskia that. and she leaves in a cloud of black vapor

i turn to chase. i say "oh they're fucking"

and he hits me with "...belialah would probably like to!"

and i hit the ground running. sprinting. i was off into the distance without another fucking word. little roselyn-shaped dust cloud left behind.

fic. art. works. stuff. so much. headcanons. throwing everything at the wall. attempts at first time. attempts at canon. saskia bitchiness. belialah wanting to smash despite the great danger to her personal health. weird fetish fic. modern!au. headcanons about modern!au. deep dives. analysis. narrative foils. sex. so much sex.

it's everything. they're everything

i want them to be terrible together. that's all i want. that's all i've ever wanted.

i set about creating for them in a frenzy--it's been love and war time for...since early may of last year?? some coming up on a year, now (again---150k words written in this time, with april's word count unknown but already above 10k. jan ALONE was 32k). love and war time means that it's always love and war--it's just different people inside the campaign. oh it's saskia oh it's freya it's gilt and lost let's bop over to adele what about gilt's parents-

FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR

it's been great.

Chase messaged summer and i a few weeks ago like "hey. i got a belialah meeting saskia inspo video, but i need to show you in person bc i need to get your reaction live."

he showed me this

we had a moment of "...oh my god its from a gacha game?" and then i made him play it three times in a row just Absorbing the vibes

chase: it's saskia and belialah when they first meet, with belialah thinking she has the upper hand and saskia proving that she is very, very wrong. but i don't know what a ball in the abyss looks like...

me: say no more

and i hit upon them meeting at an event where it's basically like---demons from all over gather, have a civil time---when bloodshed eventually happens (which it always does bc they're literal actual demons) it's a free for all and it's expected to be a bloodbath, that's part of the appeal

belialah's there, as you do, and saskia's there to talent scout from the pool of winners for her big evil plans. belialah's like "wtf is a stupid little mortal doing here why are you unaccosted where is your collar" kinda behavior and goes over there, they talk, they dance (also a ploy for power among demons, it's a sizing up thing instead of a fun thing), saskia reveals that she's got 1/8th of the power of a god in her soul and belialah's like "cool im fanatically devoted to you now i've never wanted to smash a mortal before can we make out"

and that's how they start their history

with me writing books about this campaign (again--pipe dream) i've been deciding on when and where i want these two to get highlighted, bc, again---we've never met saskia in person, she's spoken to lost and gilt directly once, and we've seen belialah once outside of saskia's bitchy announcement to the empire at large where she reveals she's got 12 generals and you better not try shit bc we're at WAR now (she's stupid i love her dearly)

and recently i've been working on their...first time? an epilogue for one of the books. the actual thing won't have sex in it if it gets to be part of the book for realsies, but im not stopping there bc IM ME

and i've been tinkering with like...ok how do we show in isolated little epilogues and snippet scenes that saskia and belialah have INSANE sexual tension so that when they do get together, its weird but satisfying bc again---belialah is a demon. she's got a human form. that is not her true form. i've drawn it, it's sexy to saskia, i'll post it soon.

but i need these two to snark at each other with saskia resisting belialah's advances bc "im trying to take over the world stop distracting me" while belialah's like "SASKIA LEMME SMASH. PLEASE" until eventually it happens because they're terrible and i love them and it needs to happen, frankly. im overruling my boyfriend. at the point we are at, they are fucking already. he does not have a choice. im overruling him.

chase, if you're reading this--the goal with this first time fic is to make it plausible enough that you accept it as canon. thank you.

bc like--they're terrible. they're perfect. they've both got bratty younger sibling/cocky hotshot who thinks they're invincible kinda energy and belialah has no doubt in her mind that saskia can achieve her goals and saskia is getting someone who will stroke her ego and is having the thought of "im being recognized for how amazing i am it's about time"

the generals have made deals with saskia---saskia is planning on following through with 0% of these deals. belialah is the only one who didn't--she's here by saskia's side of her own free will.

they're fucking. at this point, they are fucking. decades of sexual tension kept alive by distance and "hello old friend" energy is suddenly coming to head with Belialah Always Being Around and saskia having to plan out her evil deeds with her being nutso devoted 24/7 and listen, man. this woman has an ego the size of the planet. she's gonna smash someone who inflates her ego, it's just how she works

ok lore dump over. sketch time now.

[lovebillyhargrove]

Steve is woken up by a drunk booming voice singing (or shouting? .. more like)

JINGLE BELLS !! jingle beells jiiingle all the wAay

Oh what fun it is to sleigh.. to ride ..the fuck.. in a one horse.. two horse? open sleigh heEEy

WHAT is it ..?? Drunk neighbors coming home after a night out? In THIS neighborhood??.. Unbelievable

Steve cracks one eye open and glances at the clock on the bedside table

6 fucking 07 a.m. gooooooood

Who the hell is up so early on Christmas day??

LaAast Christmas !!! I gave you my HEART

But the very next daAAaaay

You gave it awaAay

Yooouurr loss .. bitch

Followed by a loud hiccup

Okay, the person who's singing outside clearly doesn't know anything other than refrains only (and the knowledge of refrains is very questionable as well)

What an idiot

Steve hides his head under the pillow and groans Just go away pleeeease

Deck the halls with boughs of hooolly,

Fa la lalala la la lalaAAA.

Tis the season to be jolly,

Fa lala laAA la lalala laaaAaa.

Don we now our gay apparel,

Fa la la lala .. Fuck, gay my ass..

Obnoxious snickering and incoherent mumbling followed by a loud

FOR THE RECORD, NO-ONE'S GAY HERE, HARRINGTON !!

Did .. did this dumbass just say Harrington???? The voice is oddly familiar too.. No, no noooo, not on Christmas morning, just .. Steve's got no intention to deal with this crap. He just wants to sleep, okay? What the hell??

Steve tightens his grip on the pillow

A moment of silence. A spark of hope.

.

It's beginning to loOOok a lot like Christmas

Everywhere you goOOoooooo;

GOD PLEASE, JUST SHUT UP, YOU CAN'T EVEN GET THE TUNE RIGHT

Take a look at the .. canes and .. blah blah

A loud sigh

It's beginning to look .. like Christmas

TOOoys in eevery store

But the prettiest sight is the prETTY BOY'S ASS.. EEeevrywhere I goOooo

WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK

Steve gets off the bed, in all his morning glory, hair a mess, wearing a tee and his tighty whities, full of rightful indignation

Opens the window and what does he see?

A completely drunk Billy Hargrove, no less, wearing Santa's costume and making a snow angel right outside Steve's house, bright and early, on Christmas morning

Hargrove must've caught sight of him cause the asshole's mouth spreads into a catlike grin

Voice raspy and syrupy at the same time (How DOES he do that?) and so perfectly wasted

Purring

Heeey Harrrington.. Been partying all night at Tommy's, man. You didn't show up so I decided to bring Christmas to you, sleepyhead

.. Sleepyhead ??

Steve's never felt at a more utter, complete loss in all of his entire life

For @withoneheadlight Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!! ❤️🎄⛄❄️🎅❤️
