I've been thinking about how much I dislike the paths that both Stede and Ed are going down right now, and I think I know why. Both of them are trying to do exactly what wasn't working before: killing off a part of themselves.

Stede is DONE being soft and kind. Stede is done being uncomfortable with murder and done putting others' needs first.

Ed is DONE being tough, powerful, and outspoken. He's done being violent and done being in charge.

At first glance, these are good things, especially for Ed. He has needed to get out of the whole "Blackbeard" situation for a long time. But saying "I'm not a pirate at all" denies a part of him in much the same way as "I'm a pirate so much that I'm not a human being anymore."

There are healthy ways to do pirating. You can do pirating without all the toxic masculinity and verbal abuse. You can do piracy without cruelty. We see the crew of the revenge do it ALL THE TIME.

Stede isn't acknowledging them. He's going to be a pirate before he's a person now, no matter how terrible and self betraying it is.

To me, it feels like a phase I went through, which was the "omg the person I was in middle/high school was so cringe!!!" phase. I rejected my own good qualities from the past, as well as the moments of real joy and connection I experienced during that time. I had some qualities when I was twelve that I MISS now that I'm in my twenties. My seventh grade self wasn't "cringe," she was LEARNING. And I'm glad I gave up many, MANY of my traits from that time. But I'm also glad I kept some. Twelve year olds know more than we give them credit for.

But back to OFMD, both of them are heading towards a new kind of self created misery, and I'm very excited to see how they and the rest of the crew help each other come back from it.

in my mind phones arent a thing and i live in a cabin in the woods and wear pretty dresses and go on picnics but in reality if i dont go on ao3 before bed then i cant sleep and i live in a town full of eshays

I kind of wish flightrising had more music for the site? I know the vibes are more casual sort of deal, but i wonder what genres the game would explore musically wise

What do any of you fr players think? What type of music do you think flight rising would have ? Im leaning towards like; Pokémon mystery dungeon explorers of sky, just due to the nostalgia factor of the formatting for the music itself.

I'm watching season three of Stranger Things again and I need to rant.

The number of posts and comments I've seen about nancy and Jonathan's fight where people blame Jonathan and paint him as the bad guy makes me mad.

What frustrates me is the writing of this argument and the aftermath.

Nancy of course should stand up to the sexist assholes and has every right to be upset. Being a woman is incredibly hard, and I agree with/relate to that. Some people see that Jonathan is also correct, but not everyone gets it.

A lot of fans already don't like him because of the pictures in season one. Now on top of that, the writers failed to show his side of the argument.

There are a lot of signs showing that he's a responsible figure in the Byers' house. Season one cooking breakfast for everyone in the morning, taking extra shifts, coffin shopping, blaming himself for Will disappearing. In season two of course he's even more focused on Will and blaming himself again. Then in season three, he takes the internship to have money for his family. I don't think they focus on Jonathan enough to show how responsibility is genuinely on him. All of these things are little things throughout the seasons.

For Nancy who comes from a rich family, this is just a job and experience which is great to have, but it's not a big deal if she gets fired. This internship is more for Jonathan. It's bills that need to be paid, it's his college tuition, groceries, clothes for Will, and necessities that his family needs. He is a provider in his household so when he gets fired, it is serious.

Jonathan of course supports Nancy. Even if he doesn't understand the full extent of it (how can he, he is a man in the 80s), he still tried. He was there helping her with the story because he knew it was a good story, he was just scared about losing his job. He stood outside waiting for Nancy when she pitched the story in case she needed his support. He tried to support her in any way he could without losing important income.

When Nancy gets fired, she talks to her mother who is there for her. Karen reassures Nancy that what she's feeling is valid. When she gets fired she gets praised for standing up for herself (as she should go Karen).

When Jonathan gets fired, he goes home to an empty house. Joyce isn't there to comfort him and tell him that they can figure this out. Will isn't there to tell him it's okay. He's alone, worried about what's going to happen to his family now that he lost their important income. He's also probably scared about losing Nancy too. He has no support and no one to tell him that it's valid to be upset about losing his job.

He ends up apologizing and (falsely) saying he's completely in the wrong. It's good that he apologized and he was wrong for not thinking of Nancy's side. But his side is also important which frustrates me. Nancy knows she wasn't thinking about his side of things, but she doesn't apologize because her mother says that what she did was great. Neither of them understands what it's like to be poor. Karen probably hasn't had a job because she married Ted so she doesn't really understand either.

The show not even attempting to showcase Jonathan's side of this is what makes me angry. The fact that he has no support makes me upset. Jonathan deserves to have his feelings listened to. This is why in season four he's still putting himself last. Even Argyle, who's his first friend and the first person to listen to him, doesn't help. He just tells Jonathan to get high and relax.

I love Jonathan and Nancy together. Every couple has arguments, it's normal, I just wish they showed more of his side. I think people would understand his side more if they went deeper into it. We shouldn't have to put clues in from every season to understand his perspective while Nancy's side gets laid out neatly.

Jonathan is always put on the back burner and it frustrates me to no end. In season one Joyce tells him he's not alone, but honestly? Yeah, he is. I could go on another rant on how Joyce treats Jonathan, but that's another thing for another time.

Do I really have to tell you how he brought me back to life?

so I wrote a lil something after 6x18, not sure if it makes sense at all - just a bit of Buck not being able to share his life with the Diazes with Natalia, and some feelings realization hah (also kinda emotional cheating? lol idk)

words: 2.9k

[read on Ao3]

“I’m at your door and no one’s answering.” she adds, and for some reason, he feels extremely guilty, as if he was doing something horrible and shady, and that she can’t know. “Uh, did we have plans?” he asks, frowning, peeking into the kitchen, where he sees Eddie throw a kitchen towel at Chris, who’s laughing loudly, probably after another joke. He can’t help a smile. “No, I just wanted to see you. But it’s fine, it’s my fault for coming over announced.” she laughs. “When will you be home?”  “Uh, I-” he’s already home, right now. There’s no place on earth that feels more like home than Eddie’s house. But he can’t say that. “I might not be back tonight.” he admits, distracted by a loud thud, and he peeks into the kitchen again, to see Eddie crouch down, picking something up.  “Buck!” Chris calls. “Come back before dad destroys the kitchen!” OR, Buck spends time with Eddie and Chris, and for some reason finds himself incapable of telling Natalia, which leads to some realizations.

____

The kitchen is filled with sounds of conversations and laughter, and music in Spanish that Eddie tries to sing along to, but he’s very off-key, and doesn't know all the lyrics, which in turn causes Buck and Chris to make fun of him. Eddie clearly sees how much fun they’re having, how much Chris is enjoying it, and continues to be a huge dork, goofily dancing around and singing, just for his entertainment. They all cook dinner together, like they tend to do pretty often nowadays, each having their own specific task, assigned by Buck. Chris sits at the table, carefully cutting vegetables, while Buck and Eddie move around each other as easily and seamlessly, as they do at work, knowing what the other one wants or needs without even saying a word. And whenever they pass each other, Eddie makes sure to touch Buck in some way, his shoulder, his forearm, the small of his back – and Buck feels hot, breath hitching each time, and he tries to ignore the way it makes him crave more.

Right now, Buck and Chris are laughing, as Eddie uses a salt shaker, that he was just about to use, as a microphone, almost yelling the lyrics, looking between Buck and his son, and Christopher covers his face in embarrassment.

“I can’t believe how lame my dad is.” Chris tells Buck, but Eddie obviously hears it, as he starts laughing as well. And Buck, well, he doesn’t think it’s lame. It’s dorky and cute. And he can’t help a fond smile that forces itself onto his face as he watches Eddie. He rarely gets to see him just be silly and goofy. It’s a very recent thing, but he’s clearly felt more free to just let go and have fun, and it’s amazing to see. 

“And I can’t believe how he got such a cool kid.” Buck shakes his head, obligated to join in on the teasing. Chris looks at him with a grin.

“My mom was pretty cool.” he says, and Buck can see Eddie falter for a moment, a soft smile on his face. They’ve been mentioning Shannon more freely now, too, and Buck learned more about her in the last few weeks than in all the years they’ve known each other. That’s pretty awesome, too, to see Eddie heal and move on. He even actually asked someone out and went on a couple of dates, and Buck ignores how thinking about it makes him feel, but then he just told Buck it didn’t work out, no details. Buck didn’t ask.

“I bet she was. Because I’m sure you didn’t get all your coolness from… that.” he comments gesturing towards Eddie, who gives him the middle finger with a laugh. Buck sticks out his tongue in response.

“You guys don’t know how to have fun.” Eddie comments, turning back to where he’s seasoning the meat, still slightly swaying his hips in rhythm with the music, and Buck tries very hard to look away.

“Look who’s talking! We have fun!” Buck exclaims, but before he can add anything else, his phone rings, and he fishes it out of his pocket and checks who’s calling. He feels… slightly less happy than he just was, and he really doesn’t want to. He wants to get excited at seeing Natalia’s name on the screen. He wants to feel butterflies in his stomach, and his cheeks warming up, and heart racing just at the thought of hearing her voice. He knows that feeling very well, and he doesn’t want to think about who makes him feel like that. But she’s his girlfriend now, they’re dating, so he should answer… he wants to answer, he’s happy to hear from her, of course. “Hey, I’ll be right back, make sure nothing burns.” he says to Eddie, pointing to the pan, where a part of their dinner is already frying, then turns to Chris and adds, “Keep an eye on him.” Christopher nods with a laugh.

Buck exits the kitchen, stopping just outside the door, and is still able to hear the music and laughter, and Chris’ comments, as he teases Eddie about using too much spice – which turns into a dig at Buck, but he’ll let it slide.

Buck reluctantly answers the call, trying to convince himself he’s excited and happy, and not regretting anything, and that the thrill of a new relationship hasn’t worn off before it even started. The thing is, he does genuinely like her, and he really wants this… but he feels like his heart isn’t his to give anymore, and the person holding it has no idea he has it. Buck doesn't even want to admit to himself who he accidentally gave it to.

“Hey, what’s up?” he asks when the call connects.

“Hey, where are you?” her melodic voice sounds in his ear. It’s nice, he likes her voice. He likes her. She’s great, and kind, and understanding, and… he really wishes he could fall for her, it’d make everything so much easier. “I’m at your door and no one’s answering.” she adds, and for some reason, he feels extremely guilty, as if he was doing something horrible and shady, and that she can’t know.

“Uh, did we have plans?” he asks, frowning, peeking into the kitchen, where he sees Eddie throw a kitchen towel at Chris, who’s laughing loudly, probably after another joke. He can’t help a smile.

“No, I just wanted to see you. But it’s fine, it’s my fault for coming over announced.” she laughs. “When will you be home?” 

“Uh, I-” He’s already home, right now. There’s no place on earth that feels more like home than Eddie’s house. But he can’t say that. “I might not be back tonight.” he admits, distracted by a loud thud, and he peeks into the kitchen again, to see Eddie crouch down, picking something up. 

“Buck!” Chris calls. “Come back before dad destroys the kitchen!”

“It’s fine, it’s just a plate, it happens-” Eddie starts saying, standing up with the shards, cheeks pink. Buck has the urge to go over there, take the broken pieces out of his hands and make sure he didn’t hurt himself. Which is ridiculous, Eddie’s a grown man and a medic, he’d be fine if he did hurt himself. 

“What do you mean? Where are you?” Natalia asks. “Buck.” And Buck realizes she’s been asking him this for a while, but he tuned it out.

“Uh, nothing, I’m just-” he stops, seeing Eddie walk over to him, or, to the trash can that’s right next to the door right now, since the kitchen is such a mess, everything’s out of place. But it’s their mess, that they’ll clean up together, as always, and have fun while doing it. Those domestic evenings with Eddie and Chris are Buck’s favorite thing that he always looks forward to the most.

“Who’s that?” Eddie asks curiously when he’s next to him, gesturing to the phone. He’s still holding his phone to his ear, and Natalia’s asking questions, but all he can focus on are Eddie’s warm eyes on his.

“No one.” Buck responds and is about to hang up, but then remembers he has to say goodbye to the woman he’s dating now. “I’ll just be a sec.” and he disappears behind the door again.

“No one?” Natalia asks, confused and a little hurt, clearly having heard Eddie’s question. “Buck, what’s going on? Where are you?”

“I’m-”

“Buck, something’s burning!” he hears Christopher yell.

“Shit, I gotta go. I’ll talk to you later. Bye.” and he hangs up the phone, cutting off whatever she was saying. And… it’s shitty. He’s acting shitty. He’s the worst boyfriend. Natalia deserves so much better, she deserves someone who can appreciate how awesome she is. Someone who won’t pretend and lie.

And the thing is, he doesn’t know why he didn’t just tell her where he is. It’s not like it’s a big deal, he’s just hanging out with his best friend and that friend’s kid – or, actually, his best friend and that friend’s dad. There’s nothing wrong with that. It’s normal, it’s nothing to hide, no big deal. Except… except it’s Eddie, and it does feel like a big deal, with Buck feeling like he does around him. He feels guilty. And you shouldn’t feel guilty and try to hide from your girlfriend that you hang out with your best friend, right? Buck’s spiraling, and he feels so guilty, as if he at least cheated- he feels more guilty than when he kissed Lucy and basically cheated on Taylor. It’s weird, he shouldn’t feel this way, because he’s not doing anything wrong right now… He feels like he is, though. Shit.

Besides, what’s even worse, is that whenever he’s with Natalia, all he thinks about is Eddie, and then he feels even more guilty – but that guilt doesn’t disappear as soon as he looks into her eyes, like it does with Eddie. He feels guilty when he’s with his girlfriend, and it’s for literally no fucking reason. Because Eddie is not his, and he’s not Eddie’s, and that’s just how it is. Maybe he wants it to change… He needs to sort it out somehow, because, well, he can’t live like this, endlessly riddled with guilt.

He runs into the kitchen to see Eddie take the a-bit-too-well-cooked meat off the pan, and put in another two pieces he just seasoned.

“Crisis averted, we’re good.” he says, grinning at Buck, and Buck’s heart immediately settles from panicked racing into calm and steady rhythm. Even just the sight of Eddie makes him feel at peace. He never wants to leave here. He never wants to be apart from his kid and his Eddie- well, from Eddie’s kid and his Eddie. Though, at least in his head, he likes referring to Chris as his. Because he loves him so much, as if he was actually his. But that’s not… it’s not true, and he doesn’t want to overstep. But it’s not like Eddie can read his mind.

And maybe that’s another thing. Maybe he’s worried that Natalia will freak out again, because it’s no secret that he and Eddie are really close, maybe closer than regular friends should be. They’re basically raising a kid together, and she was already freaked out when she found out Buck was just a donor. And it’s not like he’s Chris’ dad, as much as he’d love to be. There’s nothing to freak out about. Except, why can’t he just tell her?

They settle back into their routine, and later, as they’re both at the sink, cleaning up, while the dinner is just about to finish cooking, and Chris has gone to the living room, Eddie's arm brushing against Buck’s, Eddie says quietly:

“You know you don’t have to hide your girlfriend from us, right?” he sounds amused, but there’s also a tinge of something else, suspiciously similar to hurt. “You can, you know, invite her here for dinner sometime.” he shrugs, but he seems suddenly tense.

“Uh-” Buck hesitates. He knows he should, but he really doesn’t want those two aspects of his life to collide. He’s not sure how he imagines it looking in the future, if things with Natalia turn serious… but they probably won’t.  “Sure, I, um, maybe?”

Eddie gives him a confused look and laughs.

“Or are you hiding us from your girlfriend? Come on, we’re not that embarrassing.” he teases.

“I don’t know, Chris might not be, but you…” Buck jokes, but he feels something heavy sitting on his chest and almost not letting him breathe. It only loosens when he looks into Eddie’s eyes, and their hands brush when Eddie hands him a bowl to dry. Eddie smiles that wonderful smile, and there’s so much fondness and, maybe, possibly, love in his eyes…

“Shut up.” Eddie laughs again, and this, this is the most wonderful sound, that Buck never wants to end. Then Eddie starts quietly singing along to whatever song’s playing now, and Buck is just so enamored… He could stand here and watch Eddie be so carefree and silly for the rest of time. He’s so beautiful, and cute, and just his presence is enough for Buck to feel comfortable and at ease, and so happy. He brought Buck’s heart back to life, metaphorically and literally, and then took it and never gave it back. Buck doesn’t want it back. Oh, shit. He thinks… he thinks he’s in love with Eddie. It’s the first time he allows himself to acknowledge it, and somehow, it feels like the rightest thing in the world. He’s never felt this certain and content about anything. He loves Eddie so much, and it might kill him if he never does anything about it. And timing really is a bitch, because how is he having this realization right after starting a new relationship with a wonderful woman, who definitely deserves so much better?

Buck can’t stop staring at Eddie, wide eyes, as all his thoughts overwhelm him a bit, and he doesn’t notice when he tries to hand him a washed cutting board. He only comes back to himself when Eddie gives him a funny look. “You okay?”

“Uh, yeah, of course, I’m fine.” he chuckles nervously, and takes the board, dries it, and puts it in the right spot, not even wondering where it should go, because he knows this kitchen like the back of his hand. This is his home. This is where he’s supposed to be. And now that he acknowledged it, he doesn’t think he can go back to pretending. “I’m not fine.” he admits, going over to check on their dinner, turning the stove off when he sees it’s ready.

“What’s going on?” Eddie asks cautiously and worriedly, turning the water off and Buck can see out of the corner of his eye Eddie drying his hands. Buck shakes his head. “Buck, hey, talk to me, please.” he takes a few steps towards Buck.

“I think I fucked up.” he takes a deep breath, feeling panic rise in his chest. But then he looks at Eddie, with his concerned and loving eyes, and everything settles. Maybe he can have this. Maybe it’s possible. Maybe not. In any case, it’s not fair to himself, and especially not fair to Natalia to string her along, when he knows damn well he can’t give all of himself to her. He can’t even share the best part of his life with her, because it’s his. They’re his. Not really, not yet, but also they are, and Buck can’t do it anymore. He needs to break up with her, let her go before he messes it up more or it gets serious and he ends up breaking her heart. And only after he breaks up with her, he can wonder if maybe Eddie feels the same, which, lately it does feel like that sometimes. But one thing at a time. “I’ll fix it, though. Don’t worry.” he smiles, and Eddie still looks worried, but doesn’t say anything. Just helps Buck plate their dinner, and goes to tell Chris that it’s ready. Buck watches them take their places at the table, chatting easily, and including Buck in conversation, making him feel like he belongs here. They eat dinner, filled with more talking and laughter, and it’s perfect. Something settles in his heart, last puzzle pieces sliding in their places, and make the picture clearer than ever.

This is Buck’s life. He wants it to be his life, the rest of his life. He wants to cook dinner together, do grocery runs, and do all the other mundane things together. He wants to come home to them after a shift, curl up with them on the couch to watch a movie, with Chris pretending he’s too big for cuddles, but eventually falling asleep on Buck’s shoulder, and go to bed wrapped in Eddie’s arms. He wants to wake up together and prepare breakfast, and tease Eddie for always burning eggs, no matter how his cooking skills improve. He wants to be able to hold his hand, and run his fingers through his soft hair, and kiss his lips. He wants to keep raising Chris together. He wants it all. 

They’re his family, this is his life, and he’s determined to keep it. He’ll fix it, he’ll fix everything, he always does. And next time they cook dinner together, he might just be a little bold and reckless and carefree, and lean in to kiss Eddie, shutting up his adorable off-key singing, and if he’s lucky, Eddie will kiss back, and Chris will make fun of them both for being gross, but he’ll be so happy. And Buck will get them forever. He’ll get it all. For the first time in a while, Buck lets himself hope. Because suddenly his biggest dream doesn’t seem all that unreachable. They’re right here at the table with him, Christopher’s telling them about his day, and Eddie’s knee is pressing into his thigh, and his eyes are sparkling and looking at Buck in that way that makes him feel hot all over, and Eddie’s smile is the brightest thing in the room. There’s a moment, just a second, before Eddie remembers that Buck’s not single, where he reaches under the table and intertwines their fingers, squeezing reassuringly. Buck feels truly alive for the first time since he died. Maybe he’s felt this way with Eddie this whole time, actually, but refused to see it. He’s not sure how he missed this, while it was right under his nose, the answer to all his questions, the thing he’s been searching for. 

His boys, his family, his heart. This is it. They are it for him. At last, he found it. Now he only needs to do everything he can to keep it.

nah cause what i love about bobs burgers and the belcher family is how they love each other- and it's not like other sitcoms where it takes big out of the ordinary emotional scenes to admit it, but it's just so built into the characters and the family that it feels super real. Bob isn't the usual exasperated Dad that you usually see, he loves Linda's antics even when he doesn't understand, and he supports her even when she's annoying the hell out of him. Linda isn't the common Nagging Ball and Chain wife, she's super fun loving and it feels like you laugh WITH her rather than at her most of the time- she and bob work as partners with each other. the belcher family don't love each other despite their respective flaws, but rather including them, and i just love them a whole lot

My mom pointed out how Lucius acts progressively more feminine throughout the season and now I cant stop thinking about how scared and out of his element Lucius was in the first few episodes vs how confident and funny he is by the end of the season. It really goes to show how Stede succeeded in creating an environment where his crew can comfortably + safely express themselves and their emotions. Like, my man went from pissing himself in fear of the crew (deleted scene lmao) to drawing them all naked, which is just some fabulous and subtle character development

I’ll probably never shut up about this, but GOSH, I love that I predicted Willow breaking down in FTF, along with her always needing to be reliable to others WHILE going back into her “half a witch” mentality with Hunter and Gus there as well, and I don’t trust anyone that says it came out of nowhere!! 

The most obvious example of that was in “Understanding Willow” which was in SEASON ONE, hence the title of the episode and that fact that we also saw a glimpse of her emotions in her literal mind!!! We also saw her going back and forth with herself in “Any Sport in a Storm” with her training sequence AND her speech to herself at her mirror!!! 

AND THEN “Labyrinth Runners” comes along, and she’s doubting herself because of how Amity was unintentionally babying her; she lashes out at Amity because she wants her to see her for who she really is!!! Then here comes “Clouds on the Horizon” with her going BATSHIT when she saw Luz disguised as Hunter getting taken away from Kikimora. 

Then there is a VERY UNDERRATED scene in “King’s Tide” where she’s talking to King and she says that there’s always a way to help, aka be reliable to people, which is why that even though she’s scared out of her life, she sees her friends and Alador arguing and even gets food for them because of what she said to King earlier. I also think that, to a specific point, her silliness in TTT was sort of a way to cope with the trauma as well!!! (but also she’s just a kid so not entirely!)

Lore Olympus Chapters 87-88 and how they show the lack of boundaries in Persephone and Hades relationship

I feel like even when I was a fan of Lore Olympus there were always something that felt off about these chapters. At first I was excited because instead of getting mad Persephone clearly said that she wasn't angry she was upset with what Hades did.

After that he teleports her to the room of requirement, and Persephone calls him out for avoiding the topic and then he asks her to talk about it while eating lunch. Hades just because you acknowledged your avoiding the topic does not make it any better! Persephone asks about Hades breaking the reporters legs and pulling out his eye, Persephone is obviously horrified, while Hades doesnt exactly see the issue. You have to think about why Hades would pull out the reporters eye. In his own words, "He's a horrible man who disrespected you and put your reputation at risk". Hades thinks hes doing this to protect Persephone without thinking about what SHE would want. In fact Hades pulling out the reporters eye hurt Persephone's reputation more than the article! And Persephone rightfully calls him out on this! Persephone is right! There is nothing she said or done that would make Hades assume she would want that. Persephone tries to set boundaries, she asks Hades to ask for what she wants and apologizes for flirting with him, which Hades isn't making easy while looking at her with bedroom eyes and holding her hands! But she doesnt follow the boundaries as she continues to hold his hand. And while Persephone tries to make it clear that she's in TGOEM and she needs to know if hes with her or Minthe, Hades says,

And then Persephone says No, she just wants to "slow down". But that's not really how it works, you cant just slow down cheating. You either doing this or your not. But honestly I just can't blame this on Persephone. She is a 19 year old girl, who's in TGOEM which she doesnt want, and she's having new intense feelings! It's hard to blame this one on her instead of Hades the 2000 year old man! The conversation continues and Persephone asks to not get special treatment and Hades relishes in the fact that he "got away with giving her money". Right after their boundary talk. This conversation is honestly what proved to me that Hades doesnt know how to respect boundaries.
