So that bit where Steve rips I to Murray about outing his loved ones and pushing Nancy to cheat on him...

Have you considered (yes, I just realized it was part of the initial ask, but I've been dwelling on this for years, man): Not only does Joyce find out that Jonathan helped Nancy cheat on the boyfriend he DEFINITELY knew about, but she also just found out about the photos through Steve's upstairs bedroom window. Photos that could not ever be claimed as accidental. Now, Joyce has been holding a bit of a grudge against Steve since he broke her boy's camera. Jonathan only told her that Steve Harrington got pissed off and busted it, not why. And then Steve went and fought with Jon and her son got arrested while that rich boy got off scott free. That just reinforced her grudge, especially considering the stress she was already under at the time. But then she finds out it wasn't just Steve being a bitchy popular jock, but that her boy was also being a creepy dick. And she recalls that Steve not only apologized for breaking his camera, but that he replaced it, too.

Enjoy! Also @zerokrox-blog hope this answers your prompt :)

Jonathan’s been scared of his mom before, for good reasons: when he was seven and broke a vase after she’d told him to stop running in the house, at eleven when he lied about his grades, at fifteen when he snuck out for the first (and only) time.

Every time she gets really mad at him, she gets quiet.

She’s been silent for a solid ten minutes. The only words she’d spoken had been to Murray, to tell him to leave. She’d been quiet then, too, then just stayed silent.

“So here’s what I thought the story was,” she starts, and Jonathan wants to dig a hole to China and bury himself. “I thought Nancy and Steve had broken up, then you and she had gotten together. I thought he broke your camera because he got mad at you for who-knows-what. I thought he fought you, antagonized you, until you couldn’t hold back anymore. I thought I knew you. I thought I knew the son, the man, I raised, would never sleep with a taken woman. Would never hide in the bushes and take pictures of someone else’s property or body. And to think she’d been half-naked…” Joyce shakes her head, leans back in her chair. Considers the knife still clutched in her hand and very carefully places it down next to her plate. “To think that I thought he’d been acting like Lonnie. Worse than Lonnie, even, which maybe wasn’t a fair comparison for a teenager, but I thought I knew my son.” She shakes her head again, stands, picks up her plate and silverware. Doesn’t look at Jonathan when she says, “I was partially right. Someone was acting like Lonnie. It just wasn’t who I’d originally thought. And to think I held onto a grudge against him for years.” She purses her lips, steps back from the table. Whispers the next line. “You need to think very, very carefully about your next move. I don’t know if Steve’s forgiven you. If I were him, I don’t know that I would.” She steps back again. “While you think about it… well. Forgive me if I need some time to think about it too. After all, you also lied to me.” She tilts her head in thought. “If memory serves, he replaced the camera he smashed. I feel that bears remembering when you think about what to do.” With that, she turns and makes her way to the kitchen.

And Jonathan? He feels about as small as a gnat. Even smaller. Nancy’s trembling next to him, hand over her mouth, and he’s not sure he should reach out. He’s not sure she’d want him to; not sure he wants to. He does, though, grazes the back of her hand with a fingertip. She chokes, looking at him with wide, tear-filled eyes, and he helps her up, helps her out the front door and into his car, gets in and starts driving without thinking about it first.

He realizes most of the way there that he was driving to the Wheelers’. Walks inside with Nancy when they get there, all the way up to her room. Silent.

“We need to talk,” Nancy says, and Jonathan nods even as he feels like the rug’s been yanked out from under his feet.

Fighting monsters was easy compared to this.

What's ur fav pokemon? :3

Oh that's a bit complicated bc there's so many cute pokemon that I can't pick fro-

WRONG!!!

MINCCINO SWEEEEEEPPPP!!!!!

[loser-brain]

If you have not seen this post goin' around about not giving permission to allow people to take your work and put it into an ai against your wishes. There's the post.

Let's talk about this user's close-minded brain that they left in the replies.

The fact that they believed they are saying "Facts" is pathetic. They even answer a question from anon who believes they are saying facts.

Hey come here, have you ever heard of... plagiarism? It's a fancy word for theft. Especially in a creative field mostly used in writing.

My fellow lovelies, it's that time again.

THE TIME HAS COME FOR ME TO SLAUGHTER ANOTHER BIGOTED IDIOT IN THE CREATIVE FIELD >:D

Ai aka Artificial intelligence, what the hell is that? Glad you ask, I don't know, but in simpler terms, it's code that replicates and learns. The more you interact with it and correct its errors the more it will realize and perfect its code. IT'S NOT ALIVE. It's simply following a code that involves something along the line like us which is growth.

Using ChatGPT for fun is alright. Using ChatGPT or OpenAi to finish a story that is not yours... is not alright. That is where a line has been crossed. A line that violates Fair Use.

And since the majority of AO3 users are not putting their work behind a paywall, it still falls under fair use.

OH but it's a fanfic, we can do whatever we like with it!

WRONG. Fan-fictions falls under copyright laws. So in other words. Y'all are violating our rights by putting them into an Ai. get fuck.

BOOM! BANG! AND HERE'S ANOTHER THING! Ai, in the US, have to have the permission of the original author to have their work used in the testing to improve the Ai ability.

SO GET FUCK AGAIN

Okay now that the facts are done. Like I'm serious, it's done, got any questions, shoot me an inbox. Now we dissect this person's close mind dumb reply.

FYI, everyone is like, destroying this person. I'm serious, oof I do not want to be this person. I still kinda remember the last person that spoke dumbness, but about art. Remember that person, damn, they really got my blood boiling at like... oh hey, it's 3 in the morning... This must be fate.

SO LET'S BEGIN!

"I mean alright but at the same time, Maybe it's a sign you should finish your fanfictions 🙃"

Damn, someone has a lot of time on their hand. And as someone who does has a lot of time on my own hands, I still can't fully finish a fic. Wanna know why, because I'm tired. Like there would be days where my brain goes somewhere and I'm left with trash. I'm feelin' trashy, I'm feelin' moody, I'm even feelin' lost. It's normal to feel empty and want to fill it but don't have the energy for it. So maybe instead of being an ass to people and forcing them to finish something they can't at the moment. How about, maybe, you should stop being an ass and let people take their time 🙃.

"Like, if a fic has been abandoned for at least over a year, I feel like it's ok"

Everyone, repeat after me, fan fiction is protected under the copyright laws.

"Cause like, you clearly aren’t gonna finish it, why should it be left unfinished?"

Who's gonna tell em'? Anyone? *sees you raising your hand in the back, ignores you* Alright, I will! So like, do you not have imagination? Like do you not just, lay there in the grass under a big tree, letting the wind touch upon your cheekbone, and just... dream about the story. Like, don't you just read a volume of a book and just, imagine what happens next. Once you are done reading that volume of the book, don't you just anticipate what happens next in the story? Don't you have those moments where you thought about whether a character was going to die or live? Whether they save the day or not? Cause if you don't then damn, that's sad. You're sad. Like shit man, I'm sad but oof, that's even sadder than me.

"Now I don't think anyone has the right to post that work anywhere cause it's not yours."

OMG, I'M SO PROUD-

"But getting an AI to finish a work that *you have no intention of finishing* isn't really wrong in my opinion."

I WAS SO PROUD OF YOU AND NOW LOOK AT YOU. YOU IDIOT. Once again, say it with me now, fan fiction is protected under the copyright laws. So in other words, THEY CANNOT PUT YOUR WORK INTO AI WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT/PERMISSION. god fuckin' damn it. So close, you were so fuckin' close.

"If you are gonna finish it, make that clear"

HOW!? No, tell me how. How the fuck is someone who is using their free time to write a fic is gonna make it clear for you to understand that is their work and they get to choose whether they can work on it or not. Huh? It's fanfic, it's one thing when a users ask the author to continue the story because that is a thing that writers do. There is a group of people that would take over the fic and finish it for the author if the author just does not have time to finish it.

It's another when a user just blatantly takes it and shoves it into an Ai because AHAHAHA IT'S A FANFIC IT'S NOT PROTECT UNDER ANYTHING. WRONG BITCH IT COUNTS AS A FANWORK. Therefore it falls under fair use and copyright.

Writing is more complex to tell whether plagiarism exists in it. But we're no longer talking about plagiarism if you are just shoving it into an ai machine. You see, that is a violation of OUR copyright. OUR fair use. OUR work.

Oh but what about intellectual property? Are y'all putting your work behind a paywall? no, then it's fine. You still have the power to protect your work. So instead of believing this person thinking they are spilling facts... do a simple Google search. Is fanfiction protected by copyright law?

It's fanwork. Therefore, yes. Yes, it is.

Just gonna casually edit this: The commentators have learned what they did/said was wrong.

This is not a debate post. I'm stating facts that your work is protected and in the US you got to have the author's permission to put their work into Ai tech/machines. If you don't have their permission then it's a violation of their right.

im GOING to write today ........ i WILL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[craycraybluejay]

throwback to when I was in elementary- I think 4th grade- and at Halloween, I was in my standard princess getup and there was this really pretty fellow dressed as the phantom of the opera- my favorite musical. I went to say hi and shake his hand, and he brought it close and kissed the back of my hand with a wink.

It was then I realised the power of a loli/shota/kodo. I remember trying to flirt with more adults after that, but I'll always remember that first guy, even though I'm an adult now

I would've killed to have experienced that 😭 who r uu tell me more stories

although i think if that happened to me i would have been crazy over it n probably went overboard,, i was a surprisingly not a very forward kid bc i knew i was like a dog w a bone when it came to anything i wanted. flirting turned to "dating" and feeling each other up right quick, anger turned to bridge burning and actual burning and destruction,, etc. If someone made the dire mistake of imbuing me with any sort of want it would be their problem 😭😂. give me a slice and i will make it my sole mission to have the whole cake. I've learned well to control the impulses involved but I still have the ambition to eat the world.

(also i feel like people do that stuff for the sole purpose of flattering the subject. in a lot of cultures its pretty regular that if someones dressed like a princess you act like shes a princess,, i should've dressed like royalty more.) (but ofc people on the recieving end sometimes like u or i get excited about it lolz)

[mars-ipan]

man i miss when ppl would come into my askbox and just say shit. why don’t u guys do that anymore it’s really fun

[oldfashionedmorphine]

I’m loving the Byler passionate kissing defense going around cause several months ago it was like puritans invaded the tag and the mere suggestion that they would do more than kiss on the cheek led to anons attacking you left and right and it’s why so many of us started tagging fics with “making out” cause apparently people were getting upset reading about kissing scenes in Byler fics, which I thought was excessive but people were still getting attacked for sexualizing them even if you avoided smut. It’s the wildest thing with this fandom…

The Great 3x08 Peter and the Wolf

As they wait for the ice to melt, Elizabeth shares her pain and grief with Petrov. Catherine introduces divorce,but faces unintended consequences and struggles with guilt over her words to Peter. Grigor seeks comfort from Catherine over their shared grief.

The grief-stricken acting throughout continues to be devastating.

The police arrive and lock down the theater, stating that the killer is someone from the cast or crew. The trruth about Loretta's scrapbook is revealed. Mabel helps Howard reassemble a shredded document that might be a clue.

Det. Williams return was delightful as expected but I think the full performance of The Pickwick Triplet patter song has to take the win.

I'm a Virgo 1x01 You a Big Muthaf*cka

Cootie is a 13-foot-tall (4.0 m) teenager raised by his Aunt and Uncle. He is shielded from the outside world until being accidentally discovered by a group of teenage political activists.

AQUA: You’ve been progressing really quickly this past month. I wasn’t expecting you to be so naturally proficient in plant magic.

CYTO: Does that mean I can control like EVERY FOREST?? And all the flowers and trees and stuff?

AQUA: Not exactly, but with the right training you’ll make an excellent mage! Here, let’s practice! Bring this seed to flower. Remember to channel all the energy in your body, and focus it into making your intent a reality.

CYTO: hmmmmmmm--

[CYTO cast a blooming spell]

CYTO: I did it! And it’s bigger than last time too!

AQUA: See? You’re improving every day!!

PALI: Hello? Aquamarine? Oh, great, you’re still here!

AQUA: PALI! It’s so great to see you again!!!

PALI: I’m so glad I found you, because I found something I HAVE to tell you about! Ages ago, when I first came to the surface, I came across an ancient temple unlike anything I’ve ever seen. The art, the writing, the architecture, it was all completely untouched. But I could tell this was an ancient mew temple. I didn’t have anything to write my findings down, so I had to leave. But by the time I came back, it disappeared. I’ve been searching for it all this time and I finally found it! And I NEED you.

AQUA: R-Really!? Why me?

PALI: I need an expert informant! You were there when mew culture was thriving! I need someone to read the texts and inform me of the historical context. Cyto should come as well. I would love the chance to be able to share this experience with someone.

AQUA:  I can’t believe it, a mew structure that’s still standing! I’m getting excited! Let’s go right now!! I’ll go grab my things.

CYTO: Uh, me too! I’ll be write back. I need to... uh... get something.

PALI: Ohoh, Palisander, your findings will unearth millions of years of hidden knowledge! Finally, I’ll get the chance to know about where I came from.

Well it's actually an interesting topic whether Iceberg would wear crop tops or something else because of feeeling so damn hot. I am not a physician for sure but-

Heard of thermoses? Those... many-layered containers to keep your drink hot/cold no matter what? Remember the scheme?

So, in theory, Iceberg can just as well become a lil penguin and wear many-layered clothing so he could keep his own cold and not be influenced by surrounding air temperature that much. Tho, in original thermoses there is always that vacuum insolation and heck knows how Iceberg could achieve that...

But yeah, that thing might work as well. Somehow. I dunno.

The two options:

Whoreberg

Or to become so insulated that all you see is layers of puffer coat clothing

I just discovered that Tiny Scene Sunday exists, and need more asks in my inbox to keep me writing.

If anyone wants to send me a prompt, you can pick any 3 words you like and one or more OCs of mine from this list to have me write a tiny scene involving them. I'll do my best to weave the words themselves or their concepts into my scene, so don't hold back!

Any mutuals who want to do the same are encouraged to join in, so we can all get some inspiration flowing with these tiny prompts.

Oml I am so sorry for missing WIP Wednesday yesterday! Honestly I thought it was Tuesday. Thank you so much for your sweet tags! I really appreciate you. I’m so proud of you for reporting that person at work! That takes so much strength and bravery. Also, good for you for using up your days!!! I’m doing a bit better, thank you for being so nice🤍🤍🤍

Requesting some baby Jean because I feel bad sending an ask on your writing account that isn’t connected to your writing, but feel free to ignore since I missed Wednesday if you want!🤍🤍🤍

Jean stretched his face into a variety of expressions in his reflection. His grandmother always told him to be careful about what kind of faces he made, or else it could freeze in that expression forever. But he'd never seen an old person with blown out cheeks or lips that looked like a fish. Well, anyone aside from his violin instructor. He was pretty sure that the sharp, disapproving angle of his eyebrows was permanent.
