#and as always

[lipstickstainedmug]

Iran has launched missiles at Israel in retaliation against Israel’s bombing of their embassy. Let me be clear, first and foremost, that I do not think Israel left them many other options. I believe Israel did this to encourage the US to send them more money. I understand why this has happened.

That being said, we cannot now turn towards praise of the Iranian government. First and foremost, it is still the same government that allows “morality police” to kill women for what they wear. It is not a government that acts in the interests of the freedom of their people.

We also cannot forget that in war it always the rich who make the decisions, and the poor who suffer the consequences. As the threat of regional and perhaps even global warfare grows closer, we must remember that war is an evil that does not kill indiscriminately. We cannot get caught up in the notion of Israel reaping what it has sown. We must remember that those truly in power in Israel will not suffer- only the poor, the marginalized, the powerless. We cannot, even for a second, allow ourselves to imagine allies in those that would lead us towards this.

[hotluncheddie]

omg it's been said before but your autistic Steve series is so good so life affirming so precious to me..... and so I would like to share my own thoughts on the matter...... Steve who did sports bc he had so much excess energy!! and now he gets the zoomies all the time and needs NEEDS to get outside and run around when the weather is nice...... Steve who thinks he's unforgivably strange and unlovable without his perfectly crafted mask and Robin who says she likes him better without it!!!!.... Steve hyperfixations (feat Steve who reads and frequents the library my beloved, he's so casually curious it just makes sense with his characterization I think)...... Steve full body stimming with Eddie or Robin and feeling amazing!!!!!...... Steve who has set up his space Exactly The Way He Likes It.....

love and light to you ♥️💋🥞🏄🏻

lovely 2jug2head!!! hello!!! ur so sweet!!!

but autistic steve!!! my love!! my guy!!! yesssss!!!! these are all so good! so sweet and lovely and perfect!!! ty for sending me this!!!

(sorry this reply took a little to get too, i've been on my freak shit but finally got few ideas down for u <3)

i think steve would take time learning what stimming and being overstimulated and understimulated means. i think after the upside-down especially, but a lot before that too, he got too used to detaching, kind of separating from his body in order to survive. so now, sometimes, he gets these itches and urges and weird feelings and he just doesn’t know what to do about it. [and i think sport definitely helped him in the past, but i dunno if he would make that connection right away.]

but, he watches robin flap her arms with her sweater sleeves covering her hands. and watches eddie get fucking breathless head banging to a song. he sees robin skip to his car at the end of a shift, looking up at the sky and letting out a 'AHH!' with so so much feeling, cheeks flushed and eyes bright that the day is done, getting in and fiddling with the radio like it’s no big deal. he watches eddie jiggle his leg and bite his rings and stand up and pace when he's talking about something he loves. and steve tries them.

he tries all of them.

he fists his hands and shakes them until something dislodges in his chest, till he can finally take a full breath. he sings loudly along to bruce springsteen and wham in his car in the mornings, sometimes not ever really singing, just making noise. he jumps around his room with robin when she plays blondie, he asks eddie to show him how to head bang, tries it and laughs and kisses him breathless when the song ends. he gives robin his keys and takes off running in a lap around the building after work, sometimes near sprinting, sometimes circling five, six times, going till he's panting and the faces of all the people he had to see that day are washed away, until he can't feel the plastic on his fingers, can't smell the bleach or the too much cologne some guy used. until he's reset, until he's him again, not theirs, not who anyone wants him to be. until he feels good again, lets himself feel good.

sometimes, now, he jiggles his leg the same way eddie does, at the same time, until robin says she has to move 'feel fuckin' seasick over here with you two goblins.' and eddie just laughs. and steve can curl up into his side, if he wants, can pick up eddies hand and bite his rings if he feels like it, eddie would let him, maybe call him cute, wouldn't judge him. neither of them would, if he did that, if he did more. they would never, and its so nice.

<3

["Steve who thinks he's unforgivably strange and unlovable without his perfectly crafted mask" ;-; that's my fcuking GUY. he would and its so :(( !!!! ]

but yeah, robin would hate that fake plastic smile he puts on to mask sometimes. and she'd tell him, with so much love. 'stop it. show me you.' because she just wants to be with steve.

but she’s so wonderful, he just, she gets it. sometimes things that he didn’t even know were bothering him will build and he’ll snap and rant and moan to finally get it all out. lungs heaving as he empties everything out before her. but she’ll just look at it, and seem to place it all in a way that makes sense, a way that’s small and fits in his pocket. she’ll say ‘woah yeah, that seems like a lot / would be stressful / i’m not surprised you're overwhelmed’ and it’s just. it’s so simple. he’s seen, he’s listened too and validated. it still makes him pause, in stunned silence, and it’s like there’s a plaster placed on his heart with every instance that it happens. sometimes it seems to strike such a chord it's like it's hitting a deep wound that he buried inside, a scab finally healing and falling away. sometimes it makes him sob in her arms, overwhelmed and amazed and so so moved by this person he's met, this wonderful angelic creature that he gets to call his.

the next time he has his super masked, customer service face on when its just the two of them, she threatens to bite him. and steve smiles for real, laughs, feels another plaster sticking over the others.

<3

and steve library frequenter yes yes!! i agree that he is curious and practical and i think a hands on kind of guy! so i think he goes to the library and gets books about cars. i think he likes learning about how to fix his, trying to understand what could go wrong, how it happens, what you do in different scenarios. i think that's something him and eddie and wayne bond over, helping to fix their cars. steve and eddie even work together to do up wayne's van a little, getting it a new bumper and a couple parts scavenged at the junkyard. it's fun for him to work out what's missing, what’s changed, how and why and then putting it into practice. taking something apart and putting it back together. makes him feel proud of himself, something he really doesn't feel often. makes his brain zone in and flow and focus for a couple hours and it just feels so nice, its a happy time for him.

also, speaking of special interests - ✨sport stats✨. steve can name the players of all the basketball teams currently playing professionally, likes watching the tactics shows that come on before and after the games. likes talking at eddie and explaining why its actually really cool that they swapped out that player to give this new guy a chance, he's big news, a young up and comer and has a really interesting play style, its gonna work well with how their current manger organises the court. and eddie just smiles at him, squeezing steves hand in his lap and trying to understand what he sees on screen, follow along (he struggles to take in all the information, it's just not his thing. but it makes him so happy when he watches steve watch.) and steves happy little keens when something interesting happens, mindlessly fiddling with eddie’s fingers and tapping his other hands fingers against his knee, 1, 2, 3, 2, 4, 2. relaxed and focused and sometimes he rocks when it gets really tense and eddies heart bursts.

because it wasn't always like that, it was a struggle and a near pleading for eddie to just get steve to tell him what he likes, talk to him, get to know him. to just let eddie in. because eddie wanted to know everything and steve just didn't know how to deal with that. why would eddie care? no one ever listens to him. he's embarrassing and annoying and gets to loud and eddie doesn't like sports so why would steve tell him anything? it took soft words and gentle encouragement and reassurance again and again that he's listening, he wants to listen, wants to know. 'always, always wanna listen to what you have to say stevie.' so when steve comes over to the trailer after work, talking about the latest switch they announced in the paper, how last nights points shifted the league around and now he doesn't even know who's going to win, isn't that cool? eddie fucking beams because this is his boy. his bright, beautiful, exited baby and he’s talking to eddie, he's letting eddie see him.

<3

steve and his space though. thinking very much about that. he doesn’t have the strictest schedule, he’s learning that sometimes its okay to leave the sheets for another couple days, that the dust can settle for another week before he needs to wipe it away. but some things are just, they just have to be right. he needs to know where things are, needs the important stuff in the same place every day so he doesn't forget. needs his products in the bathroom out and in order so he can keep track of when something needs replacing, so he's not left without something he needs. wants this one specific pillow at night, and one for between his knees and a duvet on year round, needs it to feel warm and safe and right in his bed.

and his clothes, its not even about the sensory stuff for him, like yeah most of his tops are soft, his jeans pretty worn in. he has some really old sweatshirts that are special, that come out on the worst days. but it's also about how clothes look, how they make him feel. he want his jeans to fit right, sit right on his shoes. wants his shirts to make his shoulders look nice, make him feel comfortable and confident and like a normal fucking person who can exist in the world. its another part of the mask, maybe. but it works and its his and most of the time he thinks he looks good. and that's okay. he's learning and its healthy and its practical and it helps.

but he also adores wearing eddies t-shirts. when he's at home all day or to sleep at night. especially if eddies not there, when steve misses him, when he wants him. steve wears eddies t-shirts to bed. they're all ones eddies left after staying, they're old and soft and the tags have been cut out and they smell like eddie. like his eddie. like he's there. steve loves it, wraps himself up in it, helps him feel soothed and taken care of even if he's alone, maybe its a little sad, makes him feel embarrassed, too much. but he's learning not to care.

sometimes eddie talks to him and touches him in a certain special way that makes steve feel so so foggy and taken care of and amazing. so, if eddie's not there but he craves that foggy feeling, steve wears eddies t-shirts and he speaks to himself like eddie would and he makes himself dinner and looks after himself and tucks himself into bed and rubs the fabric of the collar against his nose. and tries not to feel embarrassed if he needs more, if he has to suck on his fingers/thumb for a while, clutching the fabric in his hand. tries to let himself whimper or even cry a little if he needs, at how nice it feels, how gooey and needy he can allow himself to get. accept it as part of himself, that eddie likes it, still likes him, still loves him. just something he needs sometimes. and steve falls asleep, wearing eddies t-shirt.

<3

gonna tag a few people who might want to see, hope that's okay? wanna spread him around and show him off!! look at him!!! our best guy!!!

[unsaidace]

911twt is still banging on about a “Buck kisses Eddie at the wedding/bachelor party, Eddie breaks up with Marisol and Buck breaks up with Tommy” cheating arc as a lead-up to Buddie canon. Apparently, we now have to explain biphobia and stereotyping to that absolute fucking hellsite, so here we go, I guess.

First of all, Buck is freshly confirmed to be bisexual. He’s still discovering what that means for him, and how to navigate this new journey. Not only would a cheating arc completely ruin his character for a lot of people, it would absolutely destroy the joy so many of us felt at finally seeing ourselves accurately, positively represented. I’ll be a Buddie shipper until the day I die, but if we need a fucking cheating arc to make it canon, they can keep it. Hate me all you want for that, but I will straight up refuse to acknowledge Buddie as canon if it takes Eddie cheating on Marisol and Buck “cheating” on Tommy to make it happen.

Second, if you call yourself an LGBTQIA+ ally, yet somehow truly think this is a good idea, I have some news for you; you’re not an ally, and you never were. You’re promoting stereotypes that are harmful to an entire community, and serve no purpose other than demeaning and degrading an entire group of people based on nothing more than their sexual/romantic preferences. Bisexual/Bi-romantic people cannot escape biphobia, even within our own community, and shit like this does absolutely fucking nothing to help us.

Advocating for a cheating plot involving anyone is shitty, but especially with a bisexual character. It’s biphobic and regressive. Bisexuals hear this shit every fucking day of their lives. I’ve heard it since I first came out, 11 goddamn years ago. People constantly talk about how bisexual people are “more likely to cheat”, or “being greedy/indecisive”. I am sick to fucking death of it. I’ve also seen it in several TV shows/fandoms I’ve been in. If we could use some of those rare critical thinking skills here, that’d be great. People cheat because they’re shitty people, regardless of sexuality. Being bisexual does not make someone more likely to cheat, is not an excuse to cheat, and shouldn’t be used as a fucking plot device to enable a TV character to cheat. Do us all a favour, and keep your biphobic plot ideas to your fucking selves.

[thatlonelycactus]

Okay, please don’t yell at me but:

As much as Aziraphale wanted to take the job in heaven to restore Crowley’s angelic status, I think some part of himself let him believe that Crowley would want to come back because he wanted to, well, he wanted to become an angel again. I think deep down in some, small part of his heart he knew how Crowley would react but he convinced himself that maybe it would be different. Maybe if Crowley could help him run it things would change. Maybe if they were in it together Crowley would be happy to follow the very thing he hated- the Great/ineffable/whatever the great plan 2.0 plan. Maybe Armageddon 2.0 could be prevented. Maybe they could be everything Aziraphale had ever dreamed they could be. Because yes I agree he wanted to go to Heaven because he wanted Crowley to be able to be as happy as we see him before the beginning. He lives in denial of the fact that after 6000 years, neither of them are the same- neither of them can be like the angels they were. Aziraphale let himself believe that maybe they could. He told himself that Crowley would be overjoyed to go back to the side that made it clear that they wanted nothing to do with him. That neither of them had changed since the very first breaths of a universe that both of them would love like their own child. That, if it came down to it they could deal with Armageddon if that’s what the Almighty really wanted.

Aziraphale lets himself believe little lies like this because he can’t just let go of 6000 years on earth just like that to return to a side that he has been undyingly loyal to since literally forever. Because Aziraphale loves being an angel almost- maybe even more so- than he loves Earth. Because Everyday (haha get it *starts crying*) since Armageddont some small voice in his head was telling him he wasn’t doing any good. He wasn’t doing the “right” thing. He had abandoned the side of light. He had abandoned the “good” guys. And maybe some part of him believed it. Some part of him when he was away from Crowley, maybe even whilst he was with Crowley, felt like he had failed the Almighty; the being who had given him purpose for eternity; that he was being selfish.

Perhaps that’s why he jumped when the Metatron told him he could have it all. Perhaps he let himself believe that Crowley would come with him- because Crowley would love to be back in heaven, right? He was so happy amongst the stars, right? He would come to be with him… right? He let himself believe this because he needed heaven- he desired to be what he once treasured- he could be more- do more. He could make it better.

Maybe the idea of being angels together was just as much as a distant hope to Aziraphale as the kiss and being their own side was to Crowley.
