It’s becoming abundantly clear that nobody cares about jewish people. You’ll get mad on our behalf when it’s convenient for you, and you’ll spit slurs at us when it isn’t.

But hey, I’m glad you’re willing to make excuses for blatant antisemitism when it’s used as a dunk against someone you don’t like. Maybe the next time Harry Potter discourse is in vogue, we’ll still be around to be convenient props for you.

#if you make this about i/p you will be blocked immediately #antisemitism #i am so tired #preformativity #the discourse #preformative activism #vent #before anyone says anything: i am not defending dream. fuck him.#but i will never be okay with my faith and heritage being used as an insult #it is fucking heartbreaking to see so many people just ignore that so they can have their quick laughs #the casual tolerance for antisemitism is absolutely sickening #i am not willing to be ‘cool’ and give someone a pass on antisemitism for any reason #nicholas cantu #dream #fuck dream #but also this is a part of a larger trend #discourse

Musical prodigy Steve, who is way too casual about this gift. He plays seven instruments and could read sheet music before he could spell his own name, and literally never mentions it.

He has perfect pitch and can perfectly replicate a song he’s heard once on the radio. If you gave him an instrument he’s never played before and an hour, he’d made something beautiful out of it. And no one knows.

Well, some people know.

His mom still signs him up for recitals and performances out of state, but Steve never talks about it. He just says he has something to do with him mom that weekend, and then goes to preform in a concert hall in front of hundreds of people.

Honestly, Steve kinda assumed everybody was like that.

His parents never made it seem like it was a big deal. Hell, he doesn’t even consider that he could go to college for music (not that his dad would ever allow it). It’s basically a hobby.

It’s only after concussion number two when he’s sitting in English class listening to Eddie Munson complaining for a week straight about how he has an ‘epic vision’ for a ‘new song’ but it’ll never come to fruition because he’d need a full string orchestra.

And then another week listening to him hum the melody of the song.

And then a couple more days with the studio equipment that his parents got him for Christmas that Steve starts to think that maybe this ability isn’t all that common.

Eddie - still complaining - just stares at him with shock and confusion when Steve sits a cassette down in front of him and tells him to, “Stop talking.”

Honestly, that should be it, right? Steve has spent more effort making mix tapes than that cassette and those were barely a blip in the week so…

So, why is Eddie Munson confronting him at his locker the next morning? Eddie’s hands are all over the place like, “Did you really find and pay an entire orchestra to play my music just so I’d be quiet?”

“No,” Steve says slowly because that’s insane. “I played your music so you’d be quiet… it clearly didn’t work.”

“You can play…”

“Yeah?”

Eddie just stares at him like he’s something worth staring at and then asks seriously, “Do you want to be in my band?”

#Robin overhearing this conversation: ??#Steve turning to her: Hey you play the trumpet right? you’re off key #Nancy despite having been to his house has no idea Steve is musically gifted at all #Tommy on the other hand knows just how talented he is and misses laying on the floor while Steve practiced for recitals and listened #Tommy hears Steve mentioned that he got asked to be in a band to Jonathan Byers and is pissed for the rest of the day about the possibility #of having to go the Hideout and hear Eddie Munson’s shitty band just to see Steve preform again #steve harrington #eddie munson

i genuinely don’t think most of y’all realize how “i hate humanity, we’re inherently evil and irredeemable” is 1) some puritan bullshit and 2) actively damaging to literally any activism you partake in

#you have to love whoever/whatever you’re serving more than you hate whoever/whatever you’re up against!!!#you have to!!!#we are not born evil and flawed!!!#we’re morally neutral at absolute worst!!!#yes some people will go to do the most heinous things imaginable #but others will grow to preform the most loving selfless acts #YOU HAVE TO LOVE!!!!#to quote my favorite cowboy game: take a chance that love exists and do a loving act #activism

Like a completely normal adult person, after watching the new trolls movie, I obsessively started putting together the brothers' backstory, the deeper reasons for their separation as well as how that all took place without disregarding the fact that they were trapped in the troll tree, which of course evolved into a fic in (forever) progress... yeah

Anyway, even though they aren't actively in the story much, i needed to design the parents, so uh meet Rosiepuff's daughter, Tulip, and her husband Branch.

I designed them based on the brothers' adult looks and in Tulip's case also on her mom's.

bonus baby branch:
