Steve being indignant over the girls in Hawkins not being interested in Eddie and Eddie's like I mean, it's fine, I'm gay, I'm not interested in them, and Steve's like that's not the point! You're hot! What's wrong with them?

Spoilers for Alan Wake/Control games and DLCs: one of the things I really like in Alan Wake 2 is the confirmation that, no, Alan can’t create something out of nothing. There were implications in-story that supported that, but it was good to have that be a big part in the sequel. The AWE control dlc easily made it seem like Alan himself had a role in the events of the game and the formation of the FBC, and, personally, seeing it through that lens cheapened a lot of the game and Jesse’s story. Instead, having his writing influence the Hiss and try to manipulate (even out of desperation) Jesse/the FBC to end Hartman and get help, fit right into plot and conflicts of Alan Wake 2, with Alan being sympathetic, but also an asshole for trying to change and control people’s lives in his writing.

“Oh, you’ll fall” Thelma replied nonchalantly, as if that was somehow comforting “Quite embarrassingly, probably. And quite painfully at least a few times.”
“Ah. Well. ” Matthew cleared his throat uncomfortably, the mild sense of impending doom steadily building. “I suppose we best be going then?”
Thelma smiled up at him, a darling sort of smile, the type that lit up half the room, so genuinely happy that Matthew decided whatever happened in the next hour - no matter how disastrous and or embarrassing - it would be worth it for that smile on his sister’s face.

nano day 20-25
20- 1952
21- 771
22- 643
23&24- 0 (don’t look at meeee I didn’t have time lol)
25- 2233
Total word count: 32149, 25885 towards main wip (!!!)
I didn’t realize how many days had gone by without updating lol but it’s fine bc it’s not like anyone’s really keeping track
anyway it’s v apparent I’m not hitting the 50k BUT IT’S OKAY! I’ve made peace with it. It was p dumb of me to start the month going “I just wanna write as much as I can” bc obv I was setting myself up for disappointment. So if I’m able to reach just 30k on my main wip, I’ll be happy.
Also patting myself on the back for reaching +25k, I think the 30k will be v feasible with the remaining 5 days. That’s <1k a day!
Also finished the 12th scene! We’re over a third of the way through the project :D (which admittedly is around where I hit my typical story middle slump, but I’m hoping I can remain consistent after November)

I think Jason todd is my favorite Batman character because his story is so tragic but also so so funny…
Like- it’s so tragic because you read it and can register that at so many points if different choices were made he could be happy :((((
But at the same time it’s so funny because at so many points if different choices were made he could be happy (I was giggling while writing this so just imagine someone is struggling to say this because they’re laughing too much)

if y’all want something depressing to think about on this fine night bc i have since relapsed in to this headcanon for the upteenth time and I need to post it to get it out of my system. this is not happy whatsoever.
Think about Joel getting bit. Or him losing too much blood in that basement and dying down there. Or bit and losing too much blood in that basement. And Ellie is the one to put him down so he doesn’t turn. Think about their goodbye, what it would be full of. It hasn’t even been a day since Ellie said she’d “like to try” to forgive him. They haven’t even had time to rekindle their relationship. So much has gone unsaid. Maybe she forgives him now. Maybe she tells him she loves him. Maybe he does. Maybe he tries to tell her, which proves to be impossible, just how deep and profoundly he loves her; how much he cares about her and all he wants is for her to be safe. How he needs to get this out, needs her to hear it before he’s gone. He needs to give her these words to rely on. Maybe Ellie props him up against the wall so she can sit next to him. Maybe she holds his hand or cleans his face so she can see his eyes better. Maybe they recount her 16th birthday or some small, blissful moments in their life. Just them, content. Moments they both think back to and wish it was still that way. Maybe Joel gives her his watch before he’s gone. Maybe she lays her head in his lap (where it’s not in excruciating pain) and he’s able to smooth her hair over, one last time. Maybe she tells him she forgives him. Maybe they talk about the hospital. Maybe it’s complete and utter silence except for their crying. Maybe they just can’t get the words out, but their eyes say enough. How close she sits next to him, how tight they hold each other’s hand. Maybe, similar to Lee and Clem, Joel has to tell Ellie she has to put him down so he doesn’t turn. Because he doesn’t want to turn. Because he doesn’t want Ellie to see him like that. Because he doesn’t want her to experience him as a runner. Doesn’t want her to look in to the eyes of a too far gone joel and have to stare him in the eye as she shoots him in the head. Maybe she tries to wake Tommy up every way she knows how so he can say goodbye, too. So the brothers can have time to recount their life, young and adult. To say goodbye. Maybe Joel gets to kiss Ellie’s head one last time. Maybe he gives her that all-too-recognizable smile before she fires the gun. That smile he gave her when she’d run to Joel, practically bouncing up and down to tell him some cool fact she just found out. Or how she sniped some stragglers on her patrol. Or how she learned a new tune on guitar and wanted to play it for him. Or when Ellie was just happy. Maybe she had a good conversation with Dina. Maybe a day was just exceptionally good. That smile from him always came at seeing her beam. Seeing her eyes light up like a kid watching fireworks for the first time. How she’d get so giddy, or when the joy was practically radiating off her in waves that he couldn’t even help the smile. Or even when one of them would leave for patrol or go out riding. Or even just go across town to do some work or hang out with other community members. A smile, she now realizes, was pure, unbridled love from him. And now he gives it one last time to her, right before she fires. A smile she knows she’ll never see again, though she thinks to burn this last one in to her head so she can sketch it down later. Just in case. He gives it one last time, hoping she catches the extent of what he’s trying to say. What he wishes he did tell her every day they were together. After every goodnight and goodbye. The first response said the second either one of them stepped through the door. Something to say randomly throughout the day, just as a reminder. Something to say before going in to something dangerous. Something to say after an argument, despite how hurt she was, to show her it would never change, especially not over an argument. Something that should’ve been said after movies nights, sappy conversations, or nightmares. Something that was understood, but never verbalized. Something he should’ve said to her at any other point in their journey, but instead it comes out at the end of theirs. Their forever separation, now bound only by their memories
And one sentence.
I love you, forever
did I have interstellar on the brain while thinking about this? yes, hence the forever. i wish I was capable of writing something happy when it comes to them BUT I GUESS NOT

every time i see a gifset of ewan mcgregor (which is not all that often, actually, now that I think about it) i think of the time i was explaining moulin rogue to my sister and my mom was ignoring us until i said he was in it, at which point she stopped what she was doing, turned towards us dramatically, and said "ewan mcgregor?" with a hand pressed over her heart
