Ok but imagine Buck visits Eddie in Texas and he reveals his feelings for Eddie before he leaves, and Eddie sort of confirms that in another world he'd like them to be together but they can't because he's in Texas and Buck lives 12 hours away and then Buck wants him to kiss him but Eddie's just like "I can't just kiss you and then leave, Buck! It's not fair to either of us!" And Buck is so emotional and they kind of get into a fight because they both obviously want it but Eddie just refuses to choose joy (Buck is the juice) and then Buck turns to leave and Eddie grabs his arm Nick and Jess style and kisses the fucking daylights out of him, and then is like "I'm not gonna kiss you, but if I did, it would go something like that"

More of my diabetic Steve verse!

Steve, who doesn’t realize that Eddie is super famous and robin who could literally not care any less.

Steve and Eddie exchange numbers and text all of the time. It takes a week for Eddie to crack and send this message:

Eddie: Please for the love of god let me take you on a date I need to wine and dine you so hard I think I might pass out

Steve obviously says yes.

Eddie takes them to a small diner because he doesn’t want to risk being seen by crazy fans who somehow always find out where he is. If Eddie is being honest, he blames twitter.

Eddie gets there to find Steve already sitting at a booth, fiddling with something on his phone. His glasses are sliding down his nose again and he is wearing a Wham! graphic t-shirt and light wash jeans. He stands up once he notices Eddie and flashes a huge grin, which causes Eddie to also smile.

They both sit down on their respective sides of the table and get comfortable, making small talk. It takes a bit, but Eddie notices that Steve has the menu pulled up on his phone and laughs.

“Doing some homework?”

Steve looks confused for a second before glancing down.

“Oh yeah! I always make sure to look at it beforehand whenever I go out to make sure that I have options depending on my blood sugar level.”

“What’s your… number, is that the correct term, now?”

Steve nods enthusiastically. “Yes! And let me check.” Steve pulls out a cute green pouch and takes out a bunch of supplies. “I just changed my CGM—“ At Eddie’s confused look, he says, “My glucose monitor. It’s not completely synced yet so I can’t rely on my pod to tell me what level I’m actually at.”

After he says that, Steve cleans his finger with an alcohol wipe, lets it dry, and then pricks his finger. He squeezes the pad of his ring finger and blood pools to the surface.

“Yikes. I’m gonna have to give myself a correction or two.”

Steve cleans up the space but leaves his pouch out, and then wraps a sparkly bandaid on his finger.

“What’s a correction?”

Eddie feels dumb. He wishes he knew more about diabetes and actually researched it before showing up to the diner with no prior knowledge.

“I just give myself a little extra insulin to make my blood sugar go down. I’m flirting with 250 right now and I really want a burger.”

—

The date passes swimmingly and the two men find themselves sitting in the same booth at the same diner, but on the same side. Their hands are intertwined and Steve wrapped up half of his meal to take home.

“I made this for you!” Steve says suddenly. He grabs a stack of stapled papers and hands them to Eddie. “I made you a ‘diabetes guide!’ Since I plan on our relationship being permanent, it would give me peace of mind if you knew what to do in case of an emergency.”

Steve begins thumbing through the packet and explaining everything, but Eddie can hardly focus.

Not with Steve clutching his hand or with him wanting their relationship to become “permanent.”

“Hey, are you okay?” Steve waves his hand in front of Eddie’s face. “I understand if this is a dealbreaker or whatever, but I just like you so much and I want to be your boyfriend as of two weeks ago.”

Eddie just blinks. Then he smiles. “We only met a week ago, Stevie.”

Steve blushes, tucks some hair behind his ear. “I know that. I just had a feeling that I would meet the one.”

“Yeah?” A pause. “Can I kiss you?”

Steve releases a breath. Puts his hand on Eddie’s cheek.

“I thought you’d never ask. I hope you don’t mind the taste of hamburger.”

Eddie laughs before lunging forward.

—

As they head back to Steve’s apartment hand in hand, Eddie tells him about his more than ordinary job. Explains what might happen when people see them together.

Steve just laughs and says, “I’ve fought literal monsters from hell, I can handle anything.”

Eddie falls more in love than he knew possible.

yaoyao day 06.03!

[love-too-believe]

Oh wow a black woman being created as a disposible placeholder for a white woman. I've never seen that before. Oh wait...

Ah yes, the "disposable black girlfriend trope"

[lexalovesbooks]

I love chosen one characters and I love characters that are overpowered as all shit. I love characters with one-of-a-kind powers and I love characters who seem like they’re Just Some Guy until they do something that should be impossible and you’re struck with the realization that. oh. I don’t think this character is human. I love characters so strong they’re basically untouchable and I love characters who are slowly crumpling under the weight of being the only person who can keep the world safe but can never show it and I love characters who spend years hiding who they truly are until circumstances force them to reveal themselves and now they can never go back to who they were before. I love characters who don’t even know exactly how much they’re capable of and aren’t sure they want to find out. How powerful can you become before you stop being a person?

Transcript

OPERATION FOX

The Caruso Residence. Del Sol Valley.

DULCE: Yeah, we’re going to be here a while.

ANTONIO: I told you we’re l-

DULCE: -late. I told you we’re not late. People don’t show up to parties on the dot despite what the invitation says. We want to avoid suspicion, don’t we?

ANTONIO: Yes. However, then what is the purpose of putting the start time on an invitation?

DULCE: That’s just how it is. See, this is how I can tell you’re old. Boomer.

ANTONIO: I’m not old? I’m 24?

DULCE: WHAT?? How? Don’t lawyers spend, like, half their lives in school?

ANTONIO: ...Most, maybe.

DULCE: No way! Were you some incredible child prodigy???

ANTONIO: You could say that. Anyway, we’re getting off track.

DULCE: Oh yeah. [Speaks into earpiece.] Fuego. Chaparro. How’s everything looking?

Matthew: Perfect. There are plenty of people coming in. You guys should be able to blend right in with the crowd.

MATTHEW: Better start now.

GUILLERMO: We got your backs.

[spop-romanticizes-abuse]

can we stop the trend of putting traumatized and mentally unstable characters into romantic relationships as their “happy endings”?

When the trope is Doomed Yaoi but these are the mother fuckers showing up to the party:

Fantober day 31!! A free day again.

Recently gotten into HADES, and I think about them a normal amount (lie)

[niofo]

i think a big part of my fascination with lucanis is this character archetype i really like and he's checking a lot of boxes already: a former child soldier who was raised, indoctrinated and molded into this perfect heir/leader, and it did succeed in a way, but inside they're just so fucked up by this. there was this writeblr post circling around about a character being both glorified and abused, and it's exactly this. caterina picked lucanis as her successor and it made everything so much worse for him, bcos he was her pet project and could not afford any weakness - and he doesn't in his craft, but the cracks are showing, he sees nothing but death both behind and ahead of him, which makes him react in absolutely reckless and nonsense way.

and as always i find both future alternatives fascinating and tragic - either he gives in and throws away all his compassion and morals to become who caterina wants him to be, or he throws away what he was shaped to be for his entire life, which is a decision he was obviously not yet ready for in tevinter nights, and something he needs some semblance of hope for the future to take - which he is devoid of by now.

Just some random, stupid idea I had during the middle of the night... so I started scribbling around...

Oh, dear Rey...

"Webtoon" format after the page break (I guess). You choose your fav.

(if the quality feels bad, it's because I started drawing this with a height of 1080 pixels in landscape format *cries*)

I am still debating whether or not to include this in my fanfiction. There are some shots missing, just to illustrate how anxious and hopelessly in love he is. Well, we'll see. I may or may not continue this.

The context? Do you even need it? Spoilers in the hashtags.

I’m so tired of seeing constant criticisms of dark romance and dark romance love interests. Just enjoy what you enjoy and let others enjoy what they enjoy. Like some of y’all are so cruel and mean for no reason to people who are just minding their own business.
