🎃 carve pumpkins together (for nancy from robin!)
nancy wheeler didn’t do messy. she’d never been the type to like to get dirty if she could help it ( especially since her first time in the upside down and her time spent in the shower, scrubbing away at her skin until it was almost raw ), though sometimes she made exceptions. saving the world was a pretty big exception, in fact, but carving pumpkins ? it was the ooey gooey kind of messy that she didn’t particularly care for ( though she didn’t mind getting her hands dirty if it meant something got taken care of, fixed, or done. ) still, the cautious, slight look of contempt is on her face as she scoops out the rest of her pumpkin guts.
“ what are you going to carve into yours ? ” she asks robin, distracting herself from the feeling of pumpkin guts on her hands. “ i was thinking of something classic. can’t go wrong with that, right ? ”
reminder: this blog is 21+ and mutuals only! don’t send me memes or interact with my posts if we aren’t moots and/or if you’re under 21! i shouldn’t have to make posts like this, but my phone has blown up tonight bc people can’t read lol
luckily for edwin, niko just so happens to be, as charles would say, aces at arts and crafts and she’s made plenty of friendship bracelets in her lifetime. her lips purse idly in thought as edwin tells her that he doesn’t know who would want one from him, having easily thought of all of their friends. she opens her mouth to tell him as much, but stops when he suggests making one for her first. she’s touched and it shows clear as day on her face.
she looks up at him with sparkling eyes and warm smile as she happily chirps, “ aw, edwin ! i would love one ! ” niko is nothing if not a collector of all things cute, adorable, and heartfelt. “ you can make one for me and i’ll make one for you, ” she says with a decisive nod. “ and then maybe we can make ones for charles and crystal, too. ”
she sets about picking out a color of string and a few colorful beads she likes and thinks will suit edwin, gesturing for him to do the same as she explains, “ first, pick out colors you think the person you’re making a bracelet for might like. then, you can start stacking the beads in any pattern you like. ” as if to demonstrate, she takes a few green, blue, and white beads, slipping them onto a dark blue string before moving to sort through some of the beads with letters and shapes on them.
“ got it ? ” she asks, idly. “ it’s really not that hard once you get the hang of it. there’s lots of ways to make friendship bracelets and i can show you a few different ones if you want. ”
as always, niko's charm is positively contagious. edwin finds himself smiling in full sincerity in mere seconds upon entering the room, eyes crinkling slightly around the edges as he accepts her invitation to sit down atop her floral duvet, straight-postured with his hands neatly folded in his lap.
"i had assumed as much," he says in a notably chipper tone, having already taken note of niko's affinity for cutesy decor and trinkets that occupy her apartment. he was quite happy to be correct about this assessment, and it reflects upon his face.
edwin swears he can feel her energy seeping into him, practically as real and visceral as if he were alive. he remains almost captivated by her, a pull that he's felt from the day he met her still tugging him forward like an invisible string. it was downright fascinating, and he wasn't too keen on ever severing this apparent connection that draws them together.
"well..." he starts, unclasping his hands and smoothing them over her bright duvet. his hesitance resurfaces for a moment as he considers her question, eyes fixated to the array of supplies niko has taken to sorting through. "as i am entirely new to all of this, i'm... not exactly certain of who would or would not appreciate such a gift from me. but... i was hoping to possibly make one for you first?"
ok! i know it's been a hot ass minute BUT, for all of those starters i owe, i'll post them tomorrow! be warned that they probably won't be big starters but i'll still ofc try to give everyone smth to work with lol
🎲 for loutich since we've been talking about them lately lol
31: A kiss to the inner thigh
adrenaline courses through louis’ veins as he wrestles with mitch. he is, of course, no match for his bigger, beefier boyfriend, but their roughhousing is fun and entertaining and makes louis feel things he wasn’t sure he’d feel again after his relationship with erin had fallen through.
mitch has a way of pulling louis out of his shell—allowing him to drop his mask and just be himself—while getting to actually be playful; an actual teenager. though he’d spent the majority of his teenage years lonely and putting on an act—hell, he’d be twenty before he knew it—he’s finally getting to try to make up for lost time.
“ alright, alright ! ” he gasps out through shrieks of giggles, hand reaching out to tap his comforter a few times. “ uncle, uncle ! ”
their bodies are contorted, and louis is stuck. he can feel mitch’s grip on him go slack, though before he can detangle himself, he turns his head and presses a kiss to the inside of mitch’s muscular thigh. his heart flutters and he feels things he never thought possible.
🎲 for sir michael and william
21: WILDCARD! Dealer's choice :)
blood streaks his freckled cheeks and clings to his curls along with the dirt and grime that comes with adventuring day in and day out. he’s exhausted, feeling the drain of the day’s events, and more than eager for a bath and bed. even so, he lingers by will’s tent, having chatter and banter as was typical for them.
a calloused hand reaches out, caresses the back of will’s neck, and pulls him in. mike kisses him, firm, but sweetly, letting it linger a few beats before pulling back to gaze at will through half-lidded eyes, a smile on his lips. he could kiss him again and again, but he’s only just now aware of how musky he must smell, and has a thought that will might catch a whiff and be none too pleased.
“ i should go wash, ” mike concedes, softly, after a moment, letting his hand fall back to his side. “ and i’m sure you’re quite tired after today, so… i’ll let you get some sleep. sweet dreams… ”
"Morning." (to Mary-Beth from John Marston from this meme)
mary-beth, admittedly, is not much of a drinker—in fact, she tends to enjoy spending most of her nights curled up on her cot, reading one of her romance novels by lantern light until she finally decides to turn in.
last night in particular, she hadn’t remembered drinking that much—a drink or two at most—but, upon waking up, her head throbs and the sun is too bright. she’d sleep in all day if she didn’t think grimshaw would murder her. though, she nearly meets her maker, anyway, as a greeting reaches her ears, startling her.
“ oh—! ” she relaxes upon realizing who it is. “ mornin’, john… what, ah…happened last night ? how much did i have to drink—? ”
drive, for joyce & debbie?
drive, sender drives receiver somewhere in their car.
one wouldn’t assume that GLOW would wind up in hawkins, indiana of all places, but they had, and at first, debbie, for the life of her, couldn’t wrap her head around why sam would have them wasting time in a small, podunk town with a population of what felt like barely 100 people. sam had given her some bullshit reason—something about hawkins making headlines for it’s strange goings on and how it could get them more publicity if they shot a few matches there—but debbie hadn’t been convinced…at first.
even if she still didn’t really think they’d gain any popularity from performing in this small town, she found most of the residents charming in a way. one resident in particular: joyce byers had caught her attention.
debbie could admit that she didn’t really have any friends—with her last one being a literal homewrecker and life ruiner—but there was something different about joyce. she seemed real and honest and no nonsense and debbie thought the pair could make really good friends—at least for the time she was in town. though she couldn’t quite place her finger on why she preferred not to dwell on their limited time.
“ you ever plan on telling me where exactly you’re taking me ? ” debbie asks, distracting herself from her thoughts, as she turns and her eyes lock onto joyce’s profile. “ y’know, i hate surprises, so— ”
pluck, for crystal & niko
pluck, sender plucks something out of receiver's hair.
a bright orange leaf, representing the changing seasons and sweater weather, catches niko’s attention as it’s plucked out of her hair. her deep brown gaze flits from said leaf to the person holding it and niko giggles. the color of the leaf is nearly the same color as the tips of crystal’s curls.
“ don’t you just love this time of year ? ” she asks, airily. “ i think spring is probably my favorite season, but fall is a close second. ”
upon regarding crystal thoughtfully for a moment, she asks, “ what’s your favorite season ? ”
