#OF ANYTHING

yeah :)

[blushweddinggowns]

Eddie flicked his cigarette butt as they stepped inside, immediately knocking into a frozen Mike. He was just about to ask him what the fuck before he realized he was staring straight ahead. Eddie looked past him, heart stopping in his chest at what he saw.

Eddie couldn’t quite process what he was seeing for a second. Because to him, that looked like Billy Hargrove, on top of Steve.

His Steve.

He was punching his Steve in the head over and over again. Steve, who wasn’t moving. 

Eddie was in motion before he even knew what was happening, going completely off of instinct. It was almost like it was someone else who was unsheathing the knife from his boot as he strode over. It was someone else who cut Billy's cheek open, nice and deep to make sure it scarred. It was someone else who used his shock at suddenly bleeding from the face to grapple him to the ground. 

Apparently he hadn’t lost everything that his Dad had taught him. 

But that’s when the instinct stopped, and it was all Eddie again. No excuses. He had his forearm braced against Billy’s throat, letting his weight fall so he couldn’t breathe. 

Eddie was sure that he had never been this furious in his entire life when he screamed, “What did you do to him?!”

Billy didn’t answer, how could he? But that didn’t stop Eddie from screaming the question at him again. He was struggling to get up, trying to curse with the little air he had left and that just pissed Eddie off even more. He flipped his knife around, using the handle to slam it into Billy’s nose, way too satisfied at the crunch it made. 

But hey, adrenaline does crazy things to a man. 

Part of Eddie realizes that he should be afraid. This isn’t like him. Just because he was taught this shit didn’t mean he liked it. Steve was the fighter out of the two of them. He was the one who calmed Steve down, convinced him when to it was worth it to let things go. Not the one to slam a knife handle into someone's already broken nose, just to hear them scream.

But Eddie had never been this angry. He’s never experienced the horror of cold rage, not like this. He’s never wanted to kill someone before. 

But for now he can’t remember why slitting Billy’s throat is a bad idea. He can’t remember why he shouldn’t be feeling so satisfied at the fear in his eyes. But before anything else could escalate, he could see movement out of the corner of his eye. 

Max was kneeling next to them, hands shaking as she stabbed a needle into Billy’s neck, right before Eddie was suddenly being tackled off of him by three twelve-year olds. It didn’t scream good things that Eddie had to be restrained by children to stop him from letting Billy suffocate, but at least it knocked him out of whatever trance he had been in.

He pushed them all aside to get to Steve, barely even noticing the fact that Max had the nail bat in her hands, yelling something at a nearly unconscious Billy. 

He scrambled to be next to Steve, feeling ill at what he saw. His nose was bleeding and his eye was swollen and he wasn’t moving.

He gently shook him, praying that he would open his eyes, “Stevie? Angel? Can you hear me?”

Steve made a small noise, but he didn’t open his eyes, he didn’t even move. Eddie could feel that cold rage seeping in again, only rivaled by how scared he was at the fact that he still wasn't moving.

He was going to kill Billy. He was going to fucking kill him for doing this-

“Another reason we should leave.” Mike hissed out to the others. 

Eddie hadn't even realized he was muttering that out loud. He was a fucking mess, a mix of anger and worry and panic. He turned to the others, probably looking just as crazy as he felt,  “We have to take him to a hospital.”

The kids all exchanged a look before Max stepped forward. She kneeled down next to Billy, digging into his pockets until she found his keys, turning to the rest of them, “I’ll drive.”

the scary thing is that i don't even need to fail to fail out of school. i just need to do poorly enough that i lose my financial aid and then bam i'm out

school is my thing, it always has been. i've been told it over and over again. i practically don't have anything else. so why do i feel like i just can't do it now

i need more time than i could ever find, to recuperate from some nebulous thing that i can't even identify

i'm disappointing my entire family and doing worse than i ever have before, and i want so desperately to have the gumption to care about what i'm trying to study and learn and to make myself do it, but all i want is for it to stop. i hate that i can't appreciate or find enjoyment in where i am, because i wanted it so bad and because i know that just having this opportunity is a privilege in itself, but i just feel like i'm constantly spiraling and all i really want is a break. i just want a hug and for someone to tell me it's ok

FINALLY IM FUCKING FREEEEEEE

[amarianatrench]

the urge to write about falling in love with a holy yet inhuman being

[stewyhosseini-bf]

Something really funny to me about people who keep re-iterating and pointing out how awful everyone on succession is and that they’re bad people bc that is the only form of media analysis they’re capable of. Oh the people on the bad-people-show are bad? They’re awful and spoiled and self-centered? Like did you just figure that out or

for valentine's day imma try and have this next part of every baby up

[dreamologisth2o]

Curious about what your post about c!Dream's authority means? He seems to have authority to me, but also I wasn't around to watch the earlier streams and largely get information from other people's analysis

Welp, looks like I have to answer now lol. There are actually plenty of people in the tags of the post who put it a lot better than I do but it basically boils down to how, from what I remember, Tommy and Wilbur and Quackity all treating Dream like this “authority” to be taken down, or the one to go to for permission in creating a country/confirming legitimacy when he really, doesn’t have that power or authority? It’s one of those things people just assume he has and treat him like he does, but only whenever it’s convenient for their own agendas

Take Tommy, for example. He’s the only one I’ve mentioned who doesn’t make Dream’s “authority” political, but he still treats Dream as this “top dog” to take down. When Dream tries to tell him to stop or to follow the rules or even just apologize, he doesn’t. Ergo Tommy doesn’t respect Dream’s “authority” or care that it exists, because to him it only exists as a reason/way for Tommy to “take Dream down”.

Now for Wilbur, it’s the same thing, basically. But he makes Dream’s “authority” political. Wilbur’s the one who decided that Dream was the ruler of the Dream SMP, because he needed a clear cut leader to fight against, and not just a rag tag group of server members who don’t like what he’s doing, but also aren’t particularly inclined to stop him. But when it comes to Dream actually asking him to do things, or to follow the rules or to, y’know, not exclude over half the server from even entering their little plot of land, Wilbur, obviously, doesn’t follow. He doesn’t respect Dream’s “authority” or acknowledge that it’s real at all. If he did negotiations wouldn’t have essentially amounted to Dream asking Wilbur to stop and Wilbur saying “No <3”. Dream’s “authority”, once again, only exists so far as Wilbur needs it to exist, in order to have his little revolution, in order to stick it to the man, in order to have his little country and his little presidency acknowledged as real and important, even if he has zero real respect for the man he wants it from. And this trend has continued far past the prison arc. If Dream had real political “authority”, beforehand, he certainly doesn’t have any now.

As for Quackity, just go watch the whole Mexican L’manberg fiasco. Man blows up his fiancé, steals the king’s throne, all in an attempt to get his country recognized by Dream (might be mistaken, can’t remember if it was because he wanted recognition from Dream or in spite of Dream lol), but when they finally resolve the conflict and Dream asks for an apology from Quackity, along with one to Eret, Quackity flat out refuses to apologize to Dream. Like, do you respect about Dream’s “authority” or not? If you do why are you spitting it in his face like that? If you don’t, why are you treating him like he’s the sole authority on country legitimacy then???

It’s this trend of people assuming and then assigning authority and power to Dream when he really doesn’t have any because it’s convenient for them at the time. And the moment it’s no longer convenient they pretend the given authority doesn’t exist. Even now, where any political importance or power or authority Dream might have had beforehand is completely gone, Wilbur’s still looking for his “approval” from Dream, an escaped criminal he wants to kill.

Of course, it’s not like Dream doesn’t take advantage of any perceived authority he has over the server or whatever, but people don’t really respect him as any sort of political power or authority or as a perceived ruler of the server. They respect him because of his prowess in battle and going through with threats and acting like a scary motherfucker when he needs to be.

But yeah, the moment Dream tries to use his “authority” it doesn’t exist, and the moment it’s useful to have Dream as a scapegoat for their own agendas, he’s in charge of the entire server. That’s what I mean by “Dream’s authority only exists for other people to shit on.” It’s only ever acknowledged when they need someone “in charge” to shit on.

(Of course, this isn’t counting how other members of the server give Dream this authority but actually respect it, or the way everyone just, assumes he’s got some inherent authority over the server no one else has. And the ways Dream has tried to play it to his advantage. This is just mostly talking about that of the people who actively acknowledge Dream as having authority over the server, his authority only exists for them as long as it benefits their own agendas. Whether that agenda is to take down the Top Dog or to Stick it to the Man or have their country acknowledged as legitimate.)

[jabithajates]

what are the best and worst parts of jabitha in season six?

Best parts:

Jabitha not having to hide their affection for each other anymore and embracing it.

Diving into the depths of their commitment for each other. This was also a component of season 5, and I don't want to say it's more serious now so I don't undermine the weight of Jughead's alcoholism, but Jughead losing his hearing was such a ringer for them to go through that tested and strengthened their devotion. And that's not even mentioning how she has to deal with knowing his death.

Their characters softening up. It's sweet to see them be sweet. Jughead has always been a romantic, but I don't think he's ever allowed himself to be as much of one as he has with Tabitha. Jughead in his teenage years was prone to these intense gestures of it, which haven't totally been stripped considering nothing turned him on more than getting to burn down a building with her, but the little things seem to matter more; listing kissing her as an importance, making sure to communicate with her even when he doesn't want to communicate with anyone, giving her all sorts of little touches to make her feel better...the GRIN on his face when she does the same.

Worst parts: The sudden lack in the last few episodes. Like????? What the hell is going on? Why is he running away from her again? Even before that, why have they hardly shared a scene since Angels in America? Narratively, I appreciate that they can spend time apart, but damn. I thought we were going somewhere with Jughead anxiously having to text her to come back, like I thought we were gonna explore his codependency, and we still might because I do think that Jughead needs to conquer that before telling her that he loves her to her face, but going from the intense material they were given in the early half of this season to absolutely nothing a harsh comedown. It's been hard to be invested in much of any of their stories because of the slightly too wide degree of separation.

As much as I like domestic Jabitha, I miss sexy Jabitha more. Getting a sex scene this season feels out of reach and I'm pissed, because the tension was so thick in season 5 that you could cut it with a knife. I get they've both been through hell lately, but damn....work out the frustration and fuck a little. Or at least imply it. I'll take anything at this point.
