Impeachy

heres another steddie au pitch for yall: fae steve harrington. im not sure if im more sold on selkie steve, which has more canon evidence, or feral unseelie steve, which could be cool as fuck, but either way mr and mrs harrington trap little faerie child steve in the mortal realm, either by stealing his coat or his name, bc they need an heir but dont have the patience for a child.

little baby steve, freshly glamoured, trying to figure out wtf is up with these human kids who are so squishy and weak and dull. steve watching eddie be melodramatic and performative and passionate like gods finally someone Normal.

steve making little deals with his friends — stuff like “if you give me a chip, you’ll totally pass your science quiz” and everyone thinks it’s ridiculous but also it always works. the kids think of steve as some kind of good luck charm and always give him little gifts before exams or big sessions or whatever

steve watching a hellfire session where the party is in the feywilds and just. Cannot stop giggling. humans r so funny when theyre wrong

i think it gets revealed in S4 when steve finds eddie dying and frantically asks him to trade him for something, anything, bc steve can save him but not for free. eddie trades a kiss

Truly the funniest thing about puppet history is that it’s still educational. I DID learn what defenestration is! I learned all about Bessie Coleman and Victorian medicine and the Trung sisters! I also watched a grown man passionately fist fight a puppet being worn by his friend. It’s about balance.

obviously all mental shit is irrational and stupid but adhd paralysis. come on. like “I want to do ten different things at once and I care equally about all of them and therefore can’t decide which one has to be done first so I’ll just sit here and waste all of my energy trying to choose between them until ultimately the day is over and I’ve done nothing and am also no closer to figuring out what to do next than I was at the beginning of the day” are you kidding me

not!sasha goes by any pronouns except for they/them

because she is not!them

Oh hey it happened again

Here ya go, champs

You can eat the fungi/mushrooms in the last of us!! eat them bitches back!!!

Irl these mushrooms are edible!! Its called cordeyceps, completely edible, but if you think about it you could totally eat them straight off an infected person, well maybe not straight off

at the beginning of the show they said that the fungi couldnt infect humans because they couldnt survive the internal body temp of humans, and an average humans body temp is around 90° F, so a higher temp could in theory kill the virus in the fungi, so techically you could possibly eat the mushrooms back.

edit: it has been brought to my attention that the spores were in bread which is baked BUT those arent fully formed mushrooms, they can grow, basically justs seeds, so in theory you could wear a gas mask and clean ur shrooms, sautè them up and bam tasty tasty mushrooms

im gnawing on your bones

So I love people watching in the commons like its my favorite past time on this game. I have no clue whats in the air but there is an unhinged vibe to it and I want to study everyone under a microscope. I will be posting some of my findings now for you to witness yourselves:

Robin and Steve playing a dnd character together because Steve said the only way he'd play is literally with Robin. They take turns each session for who speaks but always planning together. It's a teenage human, gangly and uncoordinated and a bit of a loner. Everyone sort of lets the "two people playing one character" issue slide, as they want to play a game with their friends.

Robin and Steve have wildly different character voices, and sometimes announce which way they are walking before stumbling in that direction, and also mutter to themself in character. when it's Steve's sessions to talk he flits with the NPCs Eddie plays, but Robin is just a little aggressive to them. The personality changes are kinda weird but everyone is just happy they're playing.

Everything is going well until the big bad of the short campaign they're all playing knocks them into a wall. Not hard, but hard enough they're scrambling and flailing and...splitting in half. By their own description. Immediately they start, with their respective character voices (they are committing to this bit) bickering about whose fault it is. And about what they should do now their cover is blown.

The table is silent.

Robin and Steve have been conning everyone the entire time. They're playing twin halflings, who alternated who sat on each other's shoulders pretending to be a human because they were goofing off the day they joined the party and were too embarrassed by the mix up to correct anyone about it until they had to. Their voices and personality changes are brilliantly embedded as not Robin and Steve not being able to keep consistent, it's because they've been playing different characters. It's brilliant. It's horrible. Everyone fell for it and the reveal essentially pauses play because everyone starts yelling at them.
