And To Wrap Up My Favorite Sluts Birthday

write weird shit. Write indulgent au fanfiction and self insert fics. Write creepy horror scenes and random character crossover dialogue. Write in a different genre. Write that sex scene that you know won’t make the cut. Write about sentient furniture turning into werewolves that try to date your MC. Write whump or hero/villain fic. Write your kink. Write your worst nightmare. Write your delusions of power and fantasies of control. Write whatever the fuck you feel like. Write whatever comes to mind. You don’t have to share it with anyone (but you can). Your writing impulses don’t define your morality anymore than your reading preferences, and actually going outside your comfort zone will improve your writing skills (making a horrifying villain sympathetic requires good characterization). Even if it doesn’t improve your skills, that’s still something you created out of nothing. It’s still valuable. Don’t let purity culture kill your creativity. That’s how culture stagnates. That’s how writing stops being fun.

people talking about “forced diversity” like characters being PoC or LGBT or disabled “for no reason” like

are people in real life PoC or LGBT or disabled for a reason

do these critics run up to people on the street like WHY ARE YOU BLACK

Yes your blorbo is tortured and pathetic and slutty and pretty and suffers more than jesus and all that but never forget that your blorbo is, first and foremost, a loser.

Takes a guy who's obsessed with saving people even if it risks his life and a guy who is literally allergic to asking for help in any situation and puts them in My stew puts them in my fucking stew and stirs it

steve needs a break

been obsessed with his hair for 4 season now

the hair

no one asked for this but i Needed It, so here we go, pals! ranking steve’s hair through the seasons, because i can! and because The Hair does have many fine moments!

1. Sweaty Pie

an absolute mess. a brush? steve doesn’t Know Her.

wild and tousled and a lil sweaty but Absolutely No One is complaining

claims to be a jock but is actually pretty adorable in that dorky gym shirt. nice try bud. 

his hair is that big because it’s full of all the times the duffers ignored his trauma

2. Sweaty Pie 2: Sad & Sweaty

the mullet at its finest. no this isnt up for debate. 

very stern. he came out to have a good time and he’s feeling really attacked rn. 

glowing. sweaty, but like, absolutely killing the game. 

freckles!!!! 

3. Simp

jen touched on it in a post but the lil piece in the back? absolutely iconic.

the Poof. the contrast of the blue jacket and the brown hair/eyes. *chef’s kiss*

a very Soft look. we love to see it. 

4. L’Oreal Hawkins

does this one even need explanation??? 

the poise. the Curl. the literal ringlet. 

clearly it’s camera angle but it looks Longer here and something about it…hmm i do be thinking

5. The Wave

very big. very beautiful. the dark vest and the lighting in the room? impeccable. his hair is Shining. voluminous. 

truly cant get over the little wave. that perfect lil arch probably lasted a total of four minutes before it became a mess. 

6. High-lights

steve who is your colorist they’re doing fantastic. 

is it the blood and the lighting? perhaps. am i digging it? absolutely. 

it’s messy just like his life but youre still looking good my man 

7. Ahoy, Sailor

ill die on the sailor uniform hill. 

the little tie. the shorts. the hat. the way his hair puffs out beneath it. 

you think if he took it off like. that top part would be stuck down. picture it. 

dorky but it’s cute. 

8. Someone Get Him An Ice Pack Please

one of the softest hair looks. like cotton candy style soft. 

miraculous theres no blood in his hair quite honestly

if he jogged it would probably bounce up and down a bit. 

moment of appreciation for the little curls sticking out in the front and doing their own thing. we see u. 

9. Smol

obviously not the best look, but high school me would have let him ruin me emotionally in a heartbeat. 

the only time in the series Steve Harrington appears put together 

Calm & Collected (im kidding Chaotic & More Chaotic)

there are some autistic “traits” that people find really annoying but that are inherently kind

the distortion of "there is potential profit we did not earn" as "there is money we lost" is fascinating and disgusting to me. "megamediaconglomerate lost $1,000,000,000 to piracy this year" is a flat out lie. it is not true. they did not have a billion dollars, that they now do not have. they felt entitled to one billion dollars, that they did not have, and still do not have. it's an infuriating perversion of the truth
