#but once again idc

[sp0o0kylights]

Grass is green, water is wet, and Jonathan Byers does not like Steve Harrington.

These are known facts in the universe.

Computers were going to take over the world, a “mobile” phone was being invented, and Steve Harrington had lost most of his hearing.

These were unknown facts--rumors even, if you will. Eddie had never seen even a grain of truth to support any of them. 

(Well, maybe the computer thing, but only because Grant and Dustin both had made a couple of convincing arguments.) 

So he doesn’t think about it, when his freshman gang up on him. 

Doesn’t even factor the “can’t hear well” thing in, when he was tasked (demanded, whined, bitched and moaned at) with helping them explain to Steve why going to the release party of the new D&D box set, located at a hobby store only a mere 2 hour drive away, was important.

Eddie’s not even sure how the little shits got him to agree to do it until he’s standing in the parking lot in front of the former King himself. 

“The store’s leading up to the release with a handful of one-shots.” He’s explaining, unsure whether to pull out the bored act or play up his court jester persona, and thus mixing and matching on the fly. 

He does not care if Harrington doesn’t know what a one-shot is. 

“They’re releasing the set at midnight. You have to be there to get it though, you can’t have someone else pick it up for you because they only got a certain amount in.” 

Harrington’s frowning (no surprise) but it’s not until Eddie is well into his spiel about how his van is already full with the elder members of Hellfire, and thus has no room for the freshmen, that he realizes Steve isn’t quite looking at him. 

Is in fact, looking over his shoulder.

Eddie stops. Follows Harrington’s gaze.

Parked across from Steve’s Beemer, is Jonathan Byer’s barely working clunker car. 

A handful of steps in front of it, and thus nearly right behind Eddie, is the man himself.

His hands are still moving, mouth shaping words silent as he goes, his gaze locked not on Eddie or the kids--but on Steve. 

Who turns back around as Harrington’s eyes slide right back to him. 

“And this is taking place next Friday?” He says, in that sort of annoyed but resigned way parents aim at their children. “After school?” 

“I’d like to go during  school, but the freshmen insist you wouldn’t let them ditch out.” Eddie tells him. “They had two separate arguments about it.” 

Loud ones, that had interrupted the game and given Eddie a migraine. 

Once again Steve’s eyes slide away from him, to Jonathan. 

“They’re not skipping school.” He says suddenly, a glare forming and Jonathan makes an annoyed noise. 

“They argued about skipping, they’re not going to.” He says aloud, and finally steps up so that he’s next to Eddie instead of behind him. 

“Munson slow down, I can’t sign as fast as you’re talking.” He adds, in the hang-dog grumble he’s notorious for. 

Eddie stares at him. 

“Can he seriously not hear me?” 

“No.” Steve and Jonathan answer together. 

“I can kind of still hear,” Steve adds, gaze returning to Eddie’s face. “But its more loud music or noises. I can lip read, but you’re also talking too fast for that.” 

Without pausing, he turns back to Jonathan and says; “Why can’t you take them?”

“It’s Friday.” Byers deadpans. 

Eddie’s not an expert on sign language, but his hands somehow looked deadpan too. 

He’s not sure how Jonathan did that. 

“So?” Steve snarks back. 

What follows is an argument that Eddie is not, at all involved in, mostly because he’s too busy handling the fact that Jonathan Byers has learned sign language, for Steve Harrington, apparently, and given the tone the argument is taking they still don’t even like each other.  

Eventually the argument ends, Steve throwing his hands in the air and demanding that Jonathan owes him. 

(Eventually Eddie will corner the ever so quiet Will Byers and ask why the hell his brother learned sign language for someone he clearly fucking hates.

“Oh they don’t hate each other.” Baby Byers would say, in that shy, quiet way of his. “I think they’re actually friends now?” 

“You think?”

“Well--you’ve seen them.” Will shrugs. “I think being mean to each other is kinda their thing.” 

‘What the hell.’ Eddie would think, right up until he stumbled across one of the kids sign language books. 

Byers the Elder, he decides, isn’t the only person who should learn sign language to chew out Harrington properly.

The pay off is immediate. 

Or at least, the pay off of watching Steve’s shocked face the first time Eddie signs something vulgar at him is, anyway.)

Long way back

I love how my criteria for calling a drawing finished has boiled down to "I don't want to work further on this"

[gardenofhope]

are they really your favorite character if you don’t project your back pain onto them

[slavhew]

terminally annoying to kind of endearing

[spitblaze]

gnc and butch women (cis AND trans) and transmascs are punished for performing masculinity past certain thresholds of arbitrary attractiveness because people that cishet society categorizes or clocks as 'women' are not supposed to perform masculinity. hope this helps 👍

what ive noticed with the rise of the anons lately is that it doesn't actually matter to them that you do care about other characters. that you multi-ship, or that you have posts on your blog dedicated to the characters they claim to be pushed to the side. i love all the characters for different reasons and in different ways, i reblog jily content just as much as jegulus and wolfstar, but they're not going to care about that. they see you like jegulus and they come for you, no one's going to win

something that came up during my costuming research (and me actually finally watching the show) so do we think the dead get to choose what to wear as ghosts ? like Charles is wearing peak rude boy attire, Edwin is in full Edwardian getup, neither of which is what they died in (aka what I assumed/how we see some of the other ghosts in the show)

[toxooz]

[wynandcore]

Okay I wanna show my favorite piece of Uprising concept art, it’s been in the back of my mind ever since I saw it

Look at that.

a god known to no one

Trafalgar Law is the last sun priest. With his city burned to the ground by royal knights, the high priest missing and only him and a child as the last survivors of the crown-endorsed massacre, he is the last priest of a god long forgotten by all but the residents of the small village of Flevance.

A god known to no one its a is a dying god.

The essence of a god is in the tales and legends that surround him, the source of a god's power comes from the worship of his followers, the life of a god depends on those who believe.

A god known to no one is a dying god and even though Law likes to think his faith is real and firm he doesn't think Nika would survive having just two believers, no matter how much Bonney prays and makes offerings.

The word has to be spread, people need to hear and tell Nika's tales again, the world needs to once again recognize the existence of the god who once freed it. And in the absence of the high priest and as the adult in charge of looking after the little envoy of the sun god, Law is the one who has the job of making Nika known once again.

And there's no better place to begin this mission than in the capital. he just needs a little plan that allows him to commit treason, because the king is clearly the biggest obstacle between Law and his god's salvation.

It is just Law's luck that he ends up encountering a group of bandits whose destination is also the capital whose plans also involve the beheading of the king. Monkey D Luffy seems to think, for whatever reason, that he is the true heir to the throne and his group of weird friends seem to support the idea. He is the leader of the Straw Hat bandits and is also the man who…kidnapped Law.

It wasn't really kidnapping, of course. They got into a bar fight, made out in the bar alley, fought over who would pay the bill and then Luffy simply threw Law over his shoulder and put Bonney over his arm and carried them to his carriage. Using a bit of excessive force.

And now he was giving them an unsolicited ride to the capital where they would all dethrone a tyrannical king. Law was definitely not kidnapped, yes.
