Miles Morales for the win!

This movie was amazing

Omg yes! Bruh, I bought this purple sweatshirt that I can't wait to wash again 💜😁 ooh and these black ripped jeans 👖 that are just a vibe with just about everything!

me getting any new clothing: I will wear this for 5 weeks straight

don't look at the timezones too closely, the idea of eddie on tour and leaving steve voicemails to wake up to in the morning was too cute to pass up ao3 link

"steeeeeve harrington."

eddie's sleepy voice rumbles away in steve's ear. there's no one else around so steve doesn't bother to hide his grin as he snuggles further under the blankets.

eddie chuckles, breathy and giddy, like he's telling a private joke. "good morning, sweetheart. well, morning for you. sun won't be up here for another–" there's a pause, then a shuffle, and steve can picture eddie rolling over in his hotel bed to look at the alarm clock even though he could just look at his phone, "–five hours, christ alive."

steve's grin turns gooey when eddie lets out a loud yawn into the receiver. he hears the sheets shifting and he has to reel his mind back in from the gutter.

"the boys say i'm stupid for leaving you all these voicemails," eddie tells him once he's comfortable. steve pictures them both laying the same way, facing each other. "they call me whipped every time i pick up my phone, but guess what, stevie?"

he pauses, like he's waiting for an answer.

steve can't help but to whisper back, "what, eds?" into the quiet of their bedroom.

"i miss you so much, sweetheart."

steve feels his heart jump to his throat so suddenly that he almost chokes on it. butterflies erupt in his belly and he can feel himself blushing. his lips wobble with the attempt to not make some embarrassing expression, even though he's the only one in the room.

it's been over a month since they've seen each other in person. photos of their teary eyed send off were still making the rounds on twitter and instagram—steve tucked into eddie's side at the check-in counter with their hands in each other's back pockets, them waiting in line at one of the airport restaurants because the flight was delayed so they had another two hour wait time. the fan video of them making out in a hidden alcove away from the band.

there's been facetime calls, but it doesn't replace the longing need to have eddie physically with him. to kiss him. to hold him. to bury his face in his neck and never let go.

"i don't think i tell you that enough, when i leave," eddie continues, his voice still soft and gravelly from lack of sleep and singing for three hours straight. "but i do. i'm so used to you being the first thing i see when i wake up that i get sad when i open my eyes and you're not beside me."

steve grips the blankets and lets out a pathetic whine, his chest tight.

"i miss holding your hand, i miss being able to kiss you, i miss hearing your laugh and seeing your smile." eddie sighs, deep and sorrowful, and it breaks steve's heart.

he wants to take his love's face in his hands and kiss him until he no longer sounds so sad.

"just fourteen hundred more hours and i'll have you back in my arms. call me after you listen to this, okay? i love you so much."

the voicemail ends and steve sits up, his bedhead wild and unruly. he taps out a message to chrissy asking for the next available flight they could put him on and sighs in relief when she says they can fly him out tomorrow night at the earliest.

mentally going over everything he needs to pack, steve falls back down onto the bed while his phone rings out on speaker.

"hey, babydoll."

at the sound of his boyfriend's voice in real time, a calmness washes over steve as he sinks back into the pillows.

"hi, baby. i got your message."

This is so sweet 😊

Happy Sunday my sweet Bee, I am here to go off about 7x10 per your tags. And you reblogged the dock scene with the script, so I'm gonna aimlessly flail about specifically that for a moment.

It always astounds me just how much they did with that script. Like it's scripted that Mickey turns around and says "then tell me goodbye," but instead what we see on screen is him saying "tell me goodbye" while unbuckling Ian's pants. And then Ian shoves him away and hesitates for a moment, and we get to see Mickey's knowing little "what?" and truly I think Mickey biting his lip and saying "what" like that is the sluttiest he's ever been, like that is Thee slutty Mickey moment for me, hands down. And then Ian pulling his shirt off and Mickey nodding with his quiet little "mhm" like he just fucking knew. He fucking knew Ian was going to do it. To be fair I do think it would've been interesting for it to have played out how it was scripted, for Mickey to turn around and then say "then tell me goodbye," and then for him to look back over his shoulder at Ian with his slutty, daring little "what?" But I actually think what we got, with him saying it while unbuckling Ian's belt, has more of an edge of desperation to it that adds another dimension to the scene. Like yes Mickey wanted to see him, wanted to have sex with him, but uh. He really wanted to have sex with him. And Ian shoving Mickey away instead of him just hesitating for a moment while Mickey has his back to him really gives us an idea that he is battling with himself over this, like you can see it hit him. But then ultimately he gives in, and it doesn't take much because Mickey's draw is just that powerful.

I actually wonder if Mickey understood before then how much power he has over Ian. I get the sense that he obviously went into this knowing he'd get Ian to have sex with him, but he also didn't know he had a boyfriend until that moment. But like, he doesn't let it faze him? It doesn't trip him up at all, he just continues with his seduction. "What are you doing here then?" he says. Raises his eyebrows, challenges him. And Ian falls right back into him. He's gotta know, right? He's gotta know that he holds a ton of power over Ian in that moment. He has a boyfriend, yes, but after only a moment of hesitation he's given in to Mickey.

Damn, dude.

jessie. PHEW. thank fuck you sent me this, truly.

in my humble & horny opinion, the scene in the way we were blessed with it was truly the stellar take on what was scripted. another example of how truly magical it is to have actors who understand their characters to the point of just living, breathing & making moooves as they would. the "what?" THE "WHAT"!!!!! possibly noel's best improv since humping the cop car in 4x11, followed closely by the breathy, little "fuck..." mickey emits as ian licks into his goddamn ear! 🥵

the scene as a whole is.... unhinged. mickey is peak slut. ian is pure simp. sure, sure protests are made, but like... also abandoned IMMEDIATELY. it's the absolute best how much uncertainty ian shows & how much mickey must feel, but doesn't show. i agree that as scripted, the "tell me goodbye" is interesting, but that the physicality between them in the moment completely overrode whatever was planned & that is a blessing upon all of our heads.

the power dynamic over ian is a really interesting question. i would actually posit that mickey is NOT AT ALL aware that he has any power over him at all. think about it--in 3x12, when mickey couldn't ask ian to stay, ian left. in s4, mickey goes looking for ian, but ian doesn't come back right away. it's only when mickey physically removes him from boystown & then svet threatens him in the shower that he goes back to the gallagher house. ian only goes back to mickey after wielding his own power over mickey with the whole blowjobs anytime, anywhere command. fast-forwarding to 5x12, ian breaks up with him... in 6x01, ian twists the knife... & then we're at 7x10, where yes yes earlier ian did come when mickey quite literally called, but overall i don't see anywhere in their history that would lead mickey to believe that he could drag his fingers down ian's neck & it would just CHANGE BOTH OF THEIR LIVES.

anyway, it sure changed mine!

beloved, thanks for going down this rabbit hole with me, today & always. feel free to continue this should you have new thoughts!

Everyone is fighting a tough battle so reblog to give previous a sword 🗡️

Tell me why I'm just refreshing and scrolling through YouTube videos, right, and I see this short with music from Epic (ya know, the musical) and I watch it. Then pause. Cuz it sounds different (‘that's not- that's different. Huh?’) So, I hit the sound.

And there's an album cover! And vocal artists! And various cast!

And it's so exciting and fun to know that Epic actually got finished and fully made! Can't tell ya how many times I played ‘Luck Runs Out' and ‘The Horse and The Infant ’

Already watching the animatics omg!
