i think one of the biggest misconceptions about the story narrated in preacher’s daughter is that isaiah cannibalizes ethel as an act of love.
there is nothing romantic about it. isaiah is sadistic and manipulative, and ethel falls right into his trap. the warm and idyllic love describe in “thoroughfare” is nothing but ethel’s romanticization of her own abduction.
isaiah knows how to play this game very well. he’s practiced. he knows exactly what he is he doing and he picks ethel because she is vulnerable, alone and needs a place to stay, someone to trust. and in fact, she does trust him.
ethel feels bliss in this reality he offers her because it’s been so long since she last felt a sentiment even remotely similar to love. he tells her to be happy and grateful, so she is. (“I'm happier here 'cause he told me I should be”)
he has done this plenty of times. hayden basically confirms it in the demo of “strangers”, when she says “when you chewed me up and shit me out like every bitch you’re done with”. his plan was always to kill ethel. he drugged her and pimped her and when she was starting to become hard to handle, he killed her and ate her.
there was nothing loving about isaiah eating ethel.
he ate her because he was hungry.

Hyperfixation so bad people think of me when they see it
Wrong Number AU where Eddie gets a new number and then starts receiving text messages from the most depressed person still alive.
At first, he ignored them.
It’s pretty obvious that this guy thinks he’s texting a dead friend or dad or someone. Eddie’s not going to take that away from someone clearly grieving, but then the texts get concerning.
He shoots a text back. After the initial ‘WHAT THE FUCK???’ and Eddie explaining the concept of companies reusing phone numbers, they talk. Eddie tells him to text him anytime he’s feeling low.
They talk almost everyday.
Eddie’s mystery texted won’t tell him his real name. He says he likes the anonymity of it and something about the government, but Eddie wishes he’d change his mind.
Sometimes Sad Boy will text him in the middle of a depression spiral and the conversation with tapper off without any good resolution. Eddie spends half the night worried to death only to receive a text the following morning like ‘ALL GOOD. FELL ASLEEP.’
He wants to respect Sad Boy’s wishes but he also wants to find him. And then he does find him, completely on accident.
He is following his newest Hellfire member into a store so he can get money off his brother. Eddie is honestly not paying much attention to who Dustin is talking to, shooting a text off to Sad Boy about strangling the youth.
He hits send and hears a ding immediately.
He looks up to find Steve Harrington pulling his phone out of his pocket. He shoots a text back and Eddie’s phone vibrates a laughing emoji.
Oh no.
:]
were I to create an original piece of media I would create bait so queer in order to create a fanfic environment I like. I find you guys do your best work under duress.
:]
[Concept] I love the idea of Ethel tormenting Isaiah- might actually finish those two one day.
I love the idea of Steve just forgetting to tell people he’s bisexual.
He’s actively wine-ing and dining Eddie and it just completely goes over everyone’s head.
Bonus points if Eddie also doesn’t know what’s going on.
He shows up to Steve’s house which is decked out with candles and dimmed lights. A fancy tablecloth draped over the table, the Harrington’s good china is on display, and there’s a fucking rose on the table in a vase.
“Do you have a date or something?” Eddie inquires.
Steve stares back at him, a little dumbfounded by the question. “Yea”
“Oh really? Am I interrupting, you invited me over so I assumed we were going to hang out?” Eddie rambles.
Steve continues to stare at Eddie blankly. “You’re not interrupting, you’re here to spend time with me.”
“What about your date?” Eddie vaguely gestures to the setup.
“Eddie, you are my date.”
“Say what now?”
“I asked you to go out with me!” Steve stressed.
“Yea, but then you called me dude, so I’m sorry if my signals got crossed.” Eddie replied, voice laced with disbelief. “I failed senior year twice, I need clarity.”
“I want to fuck you.” Steve says slowly, sounding out every part of each word carefully.
“Wow! Where’s the romance?”
Steve wordlessly gestures at the set table behind him.
dam
while you studied the blade i studied the forge so i could make you the very best blade in the world! love you baby
I think this could be solved if we all mutually agree, as a community (because that's what we are) that everyone has different tastes and objectively, everyone is simultaneously hot and ugly.
Say Nikki Sixx is the hottest in Motley Crue and no one bats an eye
Say mick mars is the hottest in motley Crüe and SOCIETY!!
the idea that people have romantic attraction to people who aren’t their friends is so weird to me. i dont even know if i like you as like a person why would i want to play boyfriends with you
