The worst thing Steve ever did as a dumb little child was tell Hopper that he pretends to cry to get what he wants.

He doesn’t even remember that conversation but years later when he’s thirteen and three beers deep at a high school party, he is rudely reminded of it.

It’s unfortunate that Steve only learns about the police breaking up the party when he makes eye contact with Hopper. It’s even worse when he gets marched out with the other underaged drinkers and then separated from them.

He lets his eyes get big and watery since it’s just him and Powell. His bottom lip trembles. His voice breaks in just the right spot and - a hand snaps their fingers in front of his face and Hopper says, “Can the fake tears, Harrington. They ain’t working here. Get in the truck.”

“But…” how do you know they’re fake dies on Steve’s lips when Hopper glares at him. It’s embarrassing that it doesn’t work and it’s embarrassing that he’s the only one going with Hopper.

Mandy is fifteen and she’s gonna think he’s a total loser now. He tells Hopper this when he finally gets in the truck an hour later, “She - everybody is gonna think I snitched! You’re ruining my life!”

Hopper tells him that he doesn’t care and then asks, “You been drinking?”

“Have you been stupid?” Steve mocks back, kicking the back of his seat. He wasn’t even allowed to sit upfront. “Yes, you have ‘cause you’re stupid. And you suck.”

“Watch it, kid.”

“I’m not a kid!” Steve snaps, kicking his seat again, and again, and again. “I’m going to be a loser forever now and ‘m pro’ably gonna get beat up in jail, and it’s gonna be. All. Your. Fault.”

Hopper slams on the breaks, nearly crashing Steve into the back of his seat. He turns around, “You’re not going to jail. You’re going home because I’m going easy on you. Now shut up, sit there, and be grateful I’m not hauling your ass into the station like your little friends.”

That’s so much worse, Steve thinks. They’re definitely going to think he snitched. He’s never going to be invited to another party for the rest of his life after this. His high school social life is gonna die before he even gets there.

Steve cannot spend all of high school being known as the guy that’s friends with cops. He needs to be at that station. He needs -

He doesn’t even think twice about it.

Hopper’s fingers are curled around the edge of the seat. Steve sends his foot forward, smashing into them. He grinds the heel of his sneaker until Hopper starts swearing.

He swears, and swears louder, and then declares, “You can spend the rest of the night with your friends.”

Good.

Not good, Steve thinks only after they pull into the station’s parking lot. His parents are going to kill him. They’re going to kill him and then reanimate him, and then kill him again. They’re not even home right now to call anyways. Jesus.

He doesn’t have anyone to call.

Hopper drags him into the crowded station and drops him into the chair next to Callahan’s desk. He says, “Book him for underage drinking and resisting arrest.”

Steve vaguely hopes everybody heard that but also, he needs to get out of here. He makes another split second decision and blurts out, “I need to go to the bathroom.”

Callahan doesn’t look up from the new form he has when he says, “Later.”

“I can’t hold it,” Steve says, voice cracking. He gives Callahan big watery eyes when he looks up. He sounds generally pathetic when he adds, “Think ‘m gonna be sick.”

“I- okay. Go. Go! Don’t throw up here.” Callahan waves off. “Bathroom is down the hall.”

Good to know that still works on some people, Steve thinks as he books it down the hall. He goes past the holding cell, past the bathroom, and right out the back exit.

Then he runs.

He gets called ‘Jailbreak’ by the older kids for a while before he gets to high school and they give him a new nickname.

Hey Kia! 🩷❤️ What do you think about the song "Strawberry Guy - Birch Tree" ? This song is very Hawthorn and Birch in my opinion. Even the melody somehow suits these two cuties! 🌳🫒 Nice day!!

CORVUS CROSSING: A CHARM FAMILY STORY. CHAPTER I "BOY, YOU'LL BE A MAN REAL SOON." PART XXI. Transcript Beneath the Cut.

DAMIEN: Is that my hoodie?

ETHAN: MotherFUCKer! [His voice cracks and squeaks a little bit, making Damien snort and laugh hard.] Stop sneaking up on me you stupid bitch or I swear to the Fates I'll put a bell on you — holy fuck that's creepy and I hate it! [He pauses for a moment, catching his breath after being startled.] What are you even doing up?! You were totally dead to the world like a minute ago!

DAMIEN: I'd ask if you missed the loud-ass thunder and the fact that the building was vibrating but considering you're this freaked out I'm gonna guess you definitely heard it. I woke up to make sure you were okay.

ETHAN: I'm fine. [He frowns, seemingly annoyed.] I don't even get that freaked out by storms anymore, I'm not 12.

DAMIEN: Uh-huh. That wouldn't even be convincing to someone that doesn't know you. Come on…

ETHAN: Also I thought this was my hoodie, it's dark in here…

DAMIEN: [He just smiles, not bothering to argue, tossing Ethan down onto his bed and crawling in with him.] You don't want me to hold your hand til you fall asleep then? You're good for real?

ETHAN: …Pft. [He narrows his eyes and scoffs.] Give it here.

DAMIEN: No. [He grins.] You don't need me or my hoodie… [mockingly] You're not 12…

ETHAN: [Glowering, he grabs Damien's hand and laces their fingers together.] Give. It. Here.

DAMIEN: [He snickers, giving Ethan's hand a gentle squeeze before using his grip on it to pull Ethan into his arms.] Brat.

ETHAN: [Incoherent, muffled and tired mumbling as he snuggles in closer to bury his face in Damien's chest.]

Thinking about Aphmau’s character design in late season 1. The flower crown, the purple maiden dress,

And the sword strapped to her back

War is coming. She’s not sure when, but it will. Zane is forcing other villages into submission. He’s creating an ultimatum: join the O’Khasis alliance or be considered an enemy. He holds villages hostage by kidnapping their lords, like she has seen with Bright Port and Pikoro Village. And he burns villages to the ground if they dare speak out of line, like back in the Eastern Wolf Tribe where the only survivor was a small wolf pup hiding underneath crates and boxes

Phoenix Drop is one slip up away from becoming an enemy to one of the most powerful city-states in Ru’aun. They have a good handful of loyal allies, and yet the village itself is still small. They are small and they are weak compared to the size of the O’Khasis army

So in this time of peace, she is preparing for war. In an act as simple as building a treehouse for her two sons, she’s thinking about the inevitability of violence. She’s imagining her two boys climbing up the steps and hiding themselves away. They will be safe up high where the soldiers can’t see them. They will be safe. That’s what she keeps telling herself

When Garroth joins them and the two of them play with the kids in the now finished treehouse, they enjoy the few moments of peace they have left. Aphmau, with her sword within reaching distance. And Garroth, who refuses to wear anything less than full armor

War is coming, and it’s only a matter of time

Need to write a fic on what Zane did immediately right after Dr. Julien turned off his memory switch and he “awoke” again. Imagine waking up in this place that you do not recognise and you turn around and there’s a guy in the bed behind you who seems to be dead and oh god you realise you can’t remember anything at all from your life. What else is there to do but to run away?

literally typing out my fifth or sixth post about how the breakup makes total sense if you actually pay attention and then deleting it because i cannot keep being a tommywarrior and a timwarrior like this

When Ekko tells Heimerdinger, "It's not enough to give people what they need to survive, you have to give them what they need to live", it falls flat to me because Heimerdinger didn't even give Zaun the first part. Heimerdinger and the Council very clearly didn't even give Zaun the bare minimum in terms of support based on the air and water quality alone (nevermind most of Zaun lives in the ground too).

Frankly, the quote applies more to how Heimerdinger treated Topside, overly cautious to prevent the mistakes of the past in a way that can stifle innovation. And it's weird that when Heimerdinger puts it into practice in Zaun it's more him building elaborate toys for children vs utilities that could help out a fledgling community like the Firelights. It's giving neglectful parent that feeds kids sweets to cheer them up instead of cooking a meal.

AND? it was hot when chalmers threw his robot self to the ground and elbowed him

...Ok I'm completely in shock.

This turned out better than I expected it to be.

For a moment I thought I couldn't draw Vida but uh...I guess I had some kind of talent hidden in me to draw her so well?!

Y'know, I would be lying if I said she wasn't hard to draw. She was hard to draw at first.

Popcorn wasthe easiest to draw. He's a hamster of course I can draw hamsters.

But yeah totally unexpected Vida drawing.

Made by yours truly, Bread

[rotten-girl-meat]
