Site That You Can Type In The Definition Of A Word And Get The Word

Steve: I swing both ways.

Steve: Violently. With a bat. Come get some, motherfuckers.

Tired of stories where the author worldbuilds a whole religion only to chicken out at the last moment by making the main character a skeptic. You mean to tell me that there’s all this richness in lore and culture, but you’ve trapped me with the one person in this society who doesn’t care about it? So bland. I could meet an agnostic easily enough by walking down the street, but your story is my one chance to hear the perspective of someone who follows whatever religion you’ve contrived. You made this whole world; convince me that your character really is from there.

“I sat behind you, two days a week for a year… Mister funny, Mister Cool, the king of Hawkins high himself. Do you even remember me from that class?”

Pool Day

“You should really take your vest off, Eddie,” Robin said. “You’re going to cook in it.”

“I’m allergic to tanning, Birdie.”

A few feet away, Dustin jumped into the pool, splashing everyone.

“HENDERSON! Come back here! You need sunscreen!”

Lucas tried to follow Dustin, but Steve was faster.

“Not you too!” he started to rub lotion on the squirmy teen. “No one gets sunburn on my watch.”

Eddie froze.

Then his shirt and vest were off.

“Stevie, can you help me put lotion on my back?”

“Yeah, of course.”

“You’re blushing,” Robin whispered.

“Shut up. It’s the sun. I'm burning.”

Love Song

The candles are not a surprise. Eddie is well aware of his boyfriend’s romantic side, and Steve would not skip the chance to organize a dinner by candlelight for his birthday. 

Steve holding a guitar, however, is unusual.

It's not one of Eddie's. It's not one he is planning to buy either. Where does it even come from?

" Stevie, sweetheart, what are you doing?"

"You know how you always dedicate a song to me during your shows?  Well, it’s my turn. This is your birthday and you deserve a serenade. So sit down Teddy, tonight you are my muse.”

So, tattoo shop AUs are really popping off lately and personally I love it. What’s more romantic than bleeding for art? Nothing!

But as someone married to a tattoo artist, I have been experiencing some mild She Wouldn’t Say That regarding tattoo culture. So here’s a few quick tips that may help inform your AU. With a grain of salt for my mostly-second-hand knowledge:

NO ONE REPUTABLE SHOP WILL TATTOO A DRUNK PERSON. EVER. or even a person they suspect of any kind of inebriation. This is not just for Regret reasons, but also because alcohol is a blood thinner. If someone is on an acute dose of blood thinners, you generally do not want to stab them dozens of times per second.

Maybe this is regional, but in my experience most tattoo places don’t call themselves parlors anymore. It has a kind of seedy vibe. I see shop or studio a lot but rarely parlor.

Most tattoo artists are hot, yes, but none are as hot at my wife

Tattooing janks up your hands. Sometimes in a RSI way but definitely in a changing-gloves-every-five-minutes-fucks-up-your-skin way.

Artists themselves are rarely if ever employees of the shop. They will be independent contractors who pay the shop either a cut of their sales or rent on their station like a hair dresser. They are also (usually) responsible for taking care of their own supplies, tools, etc. except for the stencil printer. What kind of dweeb would have their own stencil printer?

There is always a line for the stencil printer. Always.

Artists generally spend orders of magnitude more time working on art, replying to emails, doing consults, etc compared to time with their needles in skin.

A typical schedule for an artist might be: wake up at noon and guzzle half her body weight in coffee, one appointment from 1-4, and another from 6-9. Home to eat one (1) real meal at 10 pm. Drawing until 5 am. This is good for her actually and good for our marriage and she’s so healthy all the time.

An ideal shop receptionist needs to be friendly, knowledgeable, and encouraging. They also need to be willing to get out the baseball bat that is kept behind the counter.

If a shop has to choose between “good people skills” and “will promptly rebuff Nazis and the obviously inebriated” the later is often a more important consideration.

At any given moment in any given shop there’s going to be at least one apprentice or someone bumming around hoping to be taken on as an apprentice. They spawn on tic and this feature cannot be disabled.

Again I can not overstate how hot my wife is
