Moments Before Sharing A Kiss 😌

They are already selling data to midjourney, and it's very likely your work is already being used to train their models because you have to OPT OUT of this, not opt in. Very scummy of them to roll this out unannounced.

I bring more jerichos

And a little jericho x marius because WHY NOT

I’m still idk? Thinking about Steve having hearing loss. It fucking destroyed me okay like. It’s so bittersweet I’m so emotional and depressed about it because I relate to it so much but I’m also in love with it ugh.

What if Eddie learns sign language, for Steve? He learned Master of Puppets in under three weeks. He catches on quick.

He’s been practicing, on his own. Maybe a little with Steve- mostly asking “what’s the sign for this?” if they stumble into something he hasn’t learned yet. But like. What if it’s how Eddie confesses his love for the first time?

What if, one night, they’re sitting face-to-face, going back and forth. Talking, silently. Signing. Eddie signs I have a question. Steve stops, lower his hands to his lap, tilts his head. Eddie continues, What would you do if I said I love you? - using the romantic sign for it. Steve kind of… freezes for a moment. But replies I’d… say it back.

So Eddie signs, I love you, Steve.

Steve replies, I love you too, Eds.

Also, I’m not sure if you guys know this but in sign language a lot of people will pick or be assigned a sign, usually another noun, for their name. So they don’t have to spell their entire name out letter by letter every single time someone addresses them or they address themselves. I think Steve should be Bat. Eddie, though… I think… I think Steve would name him Song. Music.

Not just because of what happened in the upside down, but because Eddie…plays for him, in ways Steve can hear it. Eddie gives Steve the gift of music, all the time. Playing for him privately, buying him headphones, signing the lyrics to songs Steve can’t quite make out. For the first time Steve can really, truly enjoy music. Eddie becomes his heartsong.
