#one of my favorite tropes

[13ag21k]

What if I was a lonely brooding man but my features softened as I stared at you adoringly?

The four of them are sitting in Robin's living room watching a movie when Robin's mom pops her head in and says that the pizza had arrived. Steve and Robin stand from the couch immediately, pushing and shoving at each other to get to the kitchen first. Nancy and Eddie stay behind, heads tilted together as they talk and giggle in hushed tones.

By the time Nance and Ed have made it to the kitchen, Robin and Steve have made it back to the couch. Robin's mom joins them after a moment, sitting in one of the chairs they've pulled in from the dining table to seat all five of them.

As Robin reaches over to try and pluck a piece of pepperoni from Steve's pizza, Steve catches Robin's mom watching them with a fond smile and twinkling eyes.

Steve knows that look. That's the look of a mother who thinks Steve is the perfect boyfriend to their daughter.

He spots a flash of curls before the couch sinks down beside him. He can divert Robin's mom's attention and show her that he and Robin really are just friends. Nancy won't mind. She'll understand and play along, so he lets his hand drift out to grip her thigh. "Hey, baby, do you think -"

Only his palm doesn't land on the cotton of Nancy's skirt. It touches rough denim instead.

He should snatch his hand back, should apologize and explain, but as his eyes meet the wide, startled gaze of Eddie, he freezes.

Eddie's eyes flash up to Robin, then to her mom, and Steve realizes that Eddie has understood. A warm palm slides onto his and dexterous fingers flip his hand over and twine with his own. "Think what, sweetheart?"

Gooseflesh rushes up his arm as Eddie's rough thumb begins to stroke his hand, and he swallows down a potentially embarrassing noise. "Um. Do you think your uncle would mind if you stayed with me tonight?"

Eddie smiles at him, wide and bright and disarming. "No, I don't think he'd mind. Parents out of town again?"

Robin's mom has diverted her gaze back to the TV, but Robin and Nancy are now staring at them with wide eyes. He ignores them. "Yeah."

"Big, spooky house too much for you?" Before Steve can reply, Eddie shifts closer to him and settles against Steve's side. "I'll protect you, sweetheart."

They watch the rest of the movie that way. Steve finds it a little odd to finish eating using his wrong hand, but for some reason, he can't bring himself to let go of Eddie.

What if Halsin just sees Astarion as a small spicy bat critter

[pareiwheeler]

reading from percy’s point of view what the poison felt like was terrible but seeing it??? seeing how small and scared he looked?? how he HAS looked in every episode? i swear the books and the movies, (especially the movies, as we all know), don’t do their age justice. it’s so easy to forget how little they actually are when you aren’t looking right at the twelve year old character on screen. they are so small and shouldn’t have to worry about monsters and impressing their parents or worrying that their parents will just let them die/put them in a deadly situation on purpose just because they “embarrassed them”. it’s really sick, and i’m so elated that they managed to show this, at least in the first season.

Favourite tropes, PT 1: fiction that tells you it’s cool to care about things and that love is real and important to us all (and also there is magic realism) Everything Everywhere All at Once/ Welcome to Nightvale/The OA/The midnight Gospel/Mr. Nobody/The little prince/In./The Good Place/Maniac

[kittlesandbugs]

Mustacheless Ortega is about Ortega reclaiming his past appearance because the sad bitter person that looked back at him in the mirror like his father has faded before the euphoria of having his best friend (and/or old flame) back from the dead. It's about realizing that joy outweighs sorrow when you let it. It's about embracing past comforts instead of wallowing in old pains. It is prompted by Sidestep's stupid jokes. It is realized through Ortega's own reflections on himself, his past, and his own hope in the future.

First ikevil event is gonna be a fake lover one 😈

[whump-or-whatever]

Love the age old (usually sci-fi) trope of having whumpee on a table with electrodes attached to their head while they go through a dreamscape, memories, virtual reality, or what have you.

They get all sweaty, their face contorts in discomfort/pain, they moan and groan, sometimes cry out, writhe around a bit. Mmmmmm.

fgod:as!ink (smudge): he looks away, reminded of something that happened to a certain friend of his. "i- i know they can get hurt... and i know that there's... it's always a possibility to lose them... but i wouldnt want to stop them from being free. i would feel bad if they left me willingly, but i'd feel worse if i just forced them to stay."

a sigh is let out from his small body, as his soul-eye shifts to a blue color. "i'm sorry, but i'll have to pass on your offer. e- even if i could do something like that, i wouldn't want to. i'm not scared enough of them leaving me to stop them from having a choice in the matter."

Bouncing of the glorestor ask to say there’s probably an epic betting pool

Absolutely and you know that Erestor finds out and he’s pissed and Elrond pretends to know nothing about it until he gets the biggest cash rake-in right in front of him.
