Just started thinking about labor and delivery nurse Steve Harrington having to fill in for his best friend Robin in the ER at the last minute on his off week
And who stumbles in (comes in on a stretcher) but rock star Eddie Munson who fell off the stage at his show just because he’s incredibly clumsy (this isn’t even the first time it’s happened). His leg is very obviously broken at the knee because he broke his fall with it and he’s struggling to focus on questions because of the pain.
One of his bandmates came with him, Jeff, who Eddie keeps referring to as his mom on the road. Jeff calls Eddie’s next of kin so they can focus on giving him a scan, pain meds, and setting his leg as soon as possible.
The pain meds kick in fast and he’s flirting with Steve nonstop.
And he’s good.
He hits all of Steve’s buttons: the obnoxious pet names that should be annoying but aren’t, the casual touches to his hands and arms as he gets him comfortable, the lines he’s using that are stupid but adorable.
He has no reason to stay after they take care of his major injury and the one spot on his arm that needed stitches. He didn’t hit his head and passes all the concussion protocol tests, his stats are normal, his pain is being managed with a prescription of Tylenol with codeine. He can go home.
But Eddie insists he should have Steve’s number in case he gets worse (he won’t) or has questions (google is available). Steve gives him his number.
He texts him almost immediately.
And keeps texting him for days.
Weeks.
Calls him every morning before Steve’s shifts. Every time his post-show adrenaline matches up with Steve’s lunch breaks. Every time their schedules sync up.
And then he shows up randomly to get his cast removed.
Steve reminds him he could’ve gone anywhere, especially because he was working his usual floor.
Eddie reminds him that he wanted an excuse to see him.
Steve manages to grab a 30 minute lunch break when all his fellow nurses and doctors find out his Eddie is visiting.
When Eddie leaves, it’s with a promise to be back when tour ends in less than a month, a promise to take Steve on a real date, and a promise to be the best damn boyfriend Steve’s ever had.
#idk how things work in hospitals#and I’m not gonna research it for a shitpost#so if a medical professional sees this and it’s obviously wrong no it’s not#I’m but a marketing manager#I do not know the way#I’m just here for a good time#and maybe a wrong time factually#steddie#steve harrington#eddie munson#headcanon

It’s so frustrating how much of Piper fanart looks like it could be here
#piper mclean#hoo#for those who don’t know#this is the Americans hall in the National Museum of the American Indian#which is a Smithsonian#this exhibit is about how indigenous peoples of America have been commodified sexualized and othered for marketing purposes#and sometimes the Piper fanart i see plays RIGHT into the charicatures I see in this hall#literally just do like.#a modicum of research into Cherokee people before you draw her#I’m begging

sorry hi last reblog has me thinking about how i havent played in awhile. i haven't been a fan of the recent updates they're far too 'content production'-y for me. but i just want to express i think many of the best moments in gw2 story have been when the writing is utter camp slop that the writers were clearly extremely emotionally invested in, completely regardless of their production timeframes or budget. my opinion basically is guild wars 2 is better when it's worse
#my stuff#technically id say pof had really high production value but it was also such an anomaly right#hot off the heels of HoT with both nothing and everything to lose#i admire their tactic of being like what can we do to redeem our objectively sort of mid mmo after our first xpac just bombed?#we know. kill the player character. [american psycho william dafoe forehead slap gif]#no but really i do think its a problem its trying to be more 'professional' now#its choking itself trying to do the same things that major riot and blizz releases do#where theyre really high budget polished formulaic. like a marvel movie#except gw2 doesnt even have that budget now still so what theyre effectively accomplishing is choking the soul out of it#while also making it less unique compared to every other comparable product out there#i dont think people really like mmos because theyre 'good' they like them because theyre fun and generally let you do whatever you want#i think ones that do a better job financially seem to be ones that focus foremost on how fun combat is#and secondly how much they can indulge the player in various silly whimsies. which involve money#this is often why the stories are great. and camp. because they are often shafted and therefore bad#and therefore some random gay writer can shoehorn in whatever weird eccentric horseslop they want#random stealth trans writer whos cubicle has dune figurines in it: yeah this chapter will mostly focus on the main characters emotional --#conflicts and bodily autonomy juxtaposed with the lore of our magic universe's growing entropy#execs: ok. well can that be gamified? is it toyetic?#writer: yeah sure#execs: right sounds fine we'll just ship whatever it is then#but then they start firing everyone and bringing in third parties who write based off 'market research' and not vibes or art#and thats when it gets actual bad bad

me [takes your face gently between my hands]: hob gadling would not be a history professor at any number of british universities because of how humanities academia works and even if he were, rose walker would not be his student or advisee.
#sandman#hob gadling#sorry but it's true#a) history professor is not a romantic position and y'all are demonstrating you do not know how grad school or the academic job market work#b) that's horrifying. straight up horrifying. that you want this man to be in charge of shaping historical narrative.#(you do realize he'd do it IN HIS FAVOR; yes?? and that's not a good thing??)#c) rose is american. and a writer. do i have a headcanon where she goes into history? yes.#but if she went to the UK it'd most likely be about connecting with her personal family history and uh.#hob gadling is connected with that in such a way she would not just ''forgive'' or ''move past''#(bc holy shit why should she??)#like. if she's researching unity or her earlier ancestors she's not going to be taking classes of or be the personal mentee of a white dude#(who also happened to be a former slaver...who everyone hc's as studying medieval hist anyway)#if y'all hc hob gadling as teaching black history...fucking don't??#whoops the disc horse#but whiteness is always afforded the language of the human#but also re: point a) i'm saying it mostly bc he doesn't fucking age#sorry but like. ppl do be noticing that.#especially in academia.

“kabru would be a psyc major” “Kabru would work in retail”
YOU FOOLS
Kabru would be an advertising major!!! 90% of it is learning how to gaslight people he would thrive in there.
#specifically marketing and pr#he would love doing research on the most niche demographics and how to properly reach them#and he would be friends with all the teachers cause he knows that’s how you get a job after college#this is my way of projecting my major onto him he is built for this shit not me#let the boy psychoanalyze people and figure out the best color to attract men over fourty to use their shampoo#kabru of utaya#kabru dungeon meshi#college au

ok im doing another poll because ive received some. very positive feedback. and im curious how my followers on the whole feel about me writing patho omo
#not tagging because i dont want to skew the results in case people already have it blocked#but i can if asked#and i will once the poll is over#im probably going to make a pseud for it if i do because i have a LOT of ideas and its niche enough that id want to separate it#but i got some very enthusiastic feedback and i wasnt expecting any response at all so im wondering how many there are..........#using my tumblr for market research like god intended#what on earth are you yapping about?#suggestive#please feel free to elaborate in my ask box for the last one............or in general. im conducting a scientific study. a census#any choice is right as long as it is willed#<- new poll tag. from the end of haruspex p1 route

day 26
someday if i can figure out how the hell people get these things made i would like to do some little destiny & malice acrylic charms. i think those are so fun. and while i mostly want them for Myself i figure that if i DID figure out the process, i should maybe open up the option to anyone else that might want them, soooo...
informal poll: if i figure out how all that works, would any of y'all be into that, and approximately how many of you?
#day 26#year 5#my ocs#destiny chainsaw#malice winterfang#i know i've said i don't really like the idea of commissions and this isnt like a PROMISE or anything#i still have a lot of research to do before i commit to a shop of any kind#BUT. i think like a redbubble or something in that vein might be a manageable project#i mention stickers specifically because that seems like a very manageable thing to produce and ship even if i didnt go through like#a service to do so#particularly because i dont think id get a TON of orders for my niche OCs lol#but if i got some practice with something small like this it MIIIIGHT help me build up to making things for a larger market like...#say... well you know what i'm about over here lmao#we've basically all but gotten the official blessings of the powers that be to make homestuck merch without fear of reprisal at this point#ANYWAY that would be a ways off and be a much MUCH bigger project both artistically and in terms of like#me learning how Online Commerce works from the seller end.#BUT I HAVE BEEN CONSIDERING IT. and it seems to me that it would at least be relatively simple to sell like. prints of old art maybe#i dunno! like i said i'll see how the poll shakes out while i do a bit more research

THAT SMAU ABOUT THE COMMENTS AJHDJFHL
WHEN I FIND YOU PRETTY, WHEN I FIND YOU-
....i am going to hug you and thank you for your service to this world <3
i absolutely adore your smaus!! if you dont mind, could you do one with just random bf texts with megumi? ty!!
I’m so glad you liked it! That one was so fun to make! I had never considered doing singular character texts but now that you mention it, I’ll definitely give it thought, there are some ideas you have made swim in my head. If I did Megs, it’s likely I would do some with each of the characters, but he would be first since you asked !
Thanks a ton, I’ll probably announce if/when I would make single character smaus
#there are so many random scenarios that would be so funny with him#I love how you think#I’ve actually never read a single-character text au so maybe I’ll do some market research

I guess I'll have the XBox game show on in the backgrounf there might be cool turn-based games
#also something something I heard a rumor that a persona 4 remake was gonna be announced there so#god how stupid would they have to be to remake just 4 and be surprised people wanted content from Golden#'what????? people want stuff from the updated rerelease and not strictly the original game hardly anyone has played????????'#or let's be clear here. we're taking gameplay elements from golden and yes Adachi still has his social link but Marie's dungeon is a $20#add-on that we only worked on because a lot of people wanted it we DIDN'T have it in progress from the beginning#god every interview about reload sucked sorry I'm a petty fucking bitch but it's your fault for not doing your damn market research on the#outset of the project!!!!!

somwtimes i wonder if my art is like, acrually recognizable, like if people saw it in the wild would they recognize it? or woukd it just fade away into the sands of time becuz its generic pseudo realism
#been haunted with questions about how other people perceive me lately#pribby somethung ti do with the trip to gwrmany#where i was for over half the trip constantly frying to integrate into the group and nobody even looked at me#but apparently they all thought i didnt want to be part of the group and that i was too independant to think i needed to be included#ao like#what the fuck is up#nothing about my life i understand and certainly not how others perceive me#so now i need to ask constantly and probe and probe i clearly have not done enough accurate market research

having to learn graphic design for work has sucked all of my artistic drive out. i feel like a creative raisin & every day i go back in i get a little more dried out
#i am not an advertiser!! i do not have a marketing degree!! i am a legal researcher at heart i miss my memos </3#but it’s a small firm & i said i knew how to do image editing. so here i am#i gotta find it within me to create though bc i have many nearly-finished projects… elen and rian and my new original fiction guy…#i miss writing :(#trying to rehabilitate myself by doing non-computer no-screens art like painting/sculpture & i do think that’s helping

Anyone else have anxiety flashbacks at the state of the role when three people on a couch were talking about a streaming service?
but, in all seriousness, I’m happy I can drop the twitch sub I have to support them directly AND you mean I get perks too? 🤩 awesomeness!
I love the critical role abridged and the cooldown — that alone is worth the money. Especially since marisharayguns has retired, I believe? (which no ill will there, they are a boss and deserve to relax and enjoy cr as a fan.) because some episodes my attention will not hold and then I fall behind and dread the catch up.
so yes I subbed and dropped my twitch sub and am happily ready to watch all the new things, lol.
#critical role#beacon.tv#See this is how you soft launch a streaming service#Nothing changes the content for the ones who can’t afford it#I love that someone says it’s patreon without the patreon#This is what watcher should have done#Exclusive content for the streaming service but leave everything else free#not that it’s a competition but when you do your market research you tend to piss less people off

The trend of movie musical trailers advertising everything but the musical aspect of the film is awful, but seeing people upset that there's music in certain movies is very funny to me.
Why are you mad at people singing in a movie called The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. Why are people upset that Wonka is a musical, just like all the other Charlie and The Chocolate Factory adaptations.
#in some cases this isn't even a 'do ur research before you watch a movie' thing you should just know how to read a title#no excuse for 2024 mean girls though their marketing is god awful
