Just watching the recap of season 3 has me remembering that Will Byers is very aroace
Oop we are ten minutes in and there’s already a “Will is acting weird, maybe it’s for a girl? I think there’s someone he likes” can we please let the aroaces have *one* I am begging you…crying on my knees…
I know what they’re probably going for with this whole subplot of Will third wheeling El and Mike but just think about how awesome this could be if it’s actually because he misses having Mike as a friend and he feels shut out because as soon as Mike comes back it’s all about his romantic partner and he doesn’t even notice that Will isn’t happy or included and Mike seems so much more distant which pushes Will away further and basically what if this was building up to Will being aroace because this is such an aroace narrative and I have felt these feelings before and it SUCKS because it simultaneously feels unfair and also inevitable because society tells everyone that the romantic relationship is the more important one so you don’t even feel like you have the right to ask to be included much less put on an equal level because you “wouldn’t want to get in the way” so instead you just watch from behind and feel alone…what if…
ACTUALLY THOUGH THEY’RE MAKING IT SEEM LIKE IT MIGHT BE ABOUT THE FRIENDSHIP–!!!!! This episode is sticking DEEP because I was literally just in a position like Will is and it’s devastating, I am really pulling for this to be an arc about how their friendship has suffered and your friends shouldn’t be less important–“What about us?” END ME…the “just” implied in Mike’s “We’re friends” I’m crying
I’m also so here for how concerned for El Will is…at school, at the rink, at dinner, and especially the way he says “Months?!” when the FBI lady is talking about the training…friendship, baby. Friendship and sibling bonds. I’m so here for it. My soul has received so much balm over the last two days it’s sticky
MY WHOLE HEART THE RECONCILIATION SCENE I–AHHHHHHHHHHH
“Mr. Miyagi, you’re like a father to me.” He started, hoping he wouldn’t disappoint his mentor. The beta smiled at him, nodding. “You’ve taught me… so many things. I’ll always be grateful for your guidance and friendship.”
“Miyagi grateful for Daniel-san, too.” He said, Daniel smiled at him. “But why so nervous, Daniel-san?”
His throat closed again, Daniel swallowed and willed himself to talk.
“I’m pregnant.”
For a second, Mr. Miyagi didn’t even blink. He cleared his throat before speaking again.
“Is it good news?” For you was left unsaid, Daniel only nodded. “Daniel-san,”
Mr. Miyagi walked closer to him, taking both his hands and looking him in the eyes.
“You will be best father.” He assured, Daniel’s heart ached. “Best father!”
these are some little fanarts for @lawrussorights ‘s mind-blowingly sweet & fun & romantic WIP you’re my nomad and i love you sideways!! this au story is filled with literally all of my favorite things and you should totally check it out if you want something to put a smile on your face!!!
yeah, it’s all fun and games but what happens when obi-wan, all sad and shocked, tears in his eyes, asks: “what have they done to you?” and vader, who until this moment was overwhelmed to actually see obi-wan in person, hisses: “no. you. you did this to me” - what then
Yor and Twilight are perfect for each other because they understand one another so much and both are very grateful for each other’s presence. They’re both willing to do anything for the sake of peace and safety, may it be for the country, their family, or for the world. Both of them have dangerous jobs that require absolute strength, physically and even mentally, and even though they possess such amazing strength, they are still humans who need someone to remind them that they’re doing amazing and that their presence is a big help on someone else’s life. The fact that these two souls found each other and are slowly becoming each other’s strength is so beautiful.
Message from @eleanorstulip: Dear Dina, thank you so much for always humoring me when I ask you to beta read and to be my casting director. I could not ask for a better co-worker. I love everything you create and I will never forget how much you have done for me. I heart you, darling, mwah!
Shut up about your humans are inherently evil bullshit and look at this crowd of people losing their absolute shit because they were able to save a random stray cat
“Someone like you wasn’t meant to be defined Or confined or even met eye to eye Just there to be explored and then all the while adored Someone like you, someone like you”
A Vulcan named Stork works at the Terran adoption agency. Parents always request that he be the one to deliver their child to them.
It’s years before anyone explains it to him.
People keep gifting him robes with long white birds on them.
The fun thing is he would understand why people were getting him outfits with storks on them. That’s a word, it’s his name, straightforward. All the humans get him the same gag gift, but like, they’re putting effort in at least. This is a genuinely nice outfit. Stork will be a walking zero-effort pun sometimes, rather than waste a perfectly fine robe.
It’s fine. This is a readily comprehensible human illogic. Exactly the kind of thing he expected from moving to Earth.
Six years in he finds out about the stork bringing babies.
Stork has a good long meditation session about this myth, his name, his job, the outfits, the whole shebang (or whatever Vulcan concept is the equivalent).
And he decides he’s honored by it, in a humanly illogical way.
The humans are asking him to do what is after all his job, and specifically requesting him for the joy his name brings them on top of an already agreeable and satisfying task. He has no objection to engendering positive emotions in others. Harm hastens the heat-death of the universe, Surak teaches, so happiness must logically slow it down.
Plus, Vulcans of his generation love puns. There were two decades of punning competitions in colleges across the planet. So when he realizes that he is a walking zero-effort pun, and that the humans also love the pun, he is all for it. He is the Joe Cool of the entire Vulcan population in his city.
And via this pun, the humans are including him in a cherished and traditional myth, by casting him as the literal bringer of life and the expander of families.
There’s no downside. Stork wears his robes, pins, keychains, and other bird-related tchotchkes with genuine pride.
