no matter the struggles there is always ao3 in bed

Isn’t that what we all want in a partner? Knowing that they have you back? (insp)

Nothing can outmatch the unbridled joy of Shawn figuring out that Gus used to be part of a four-part acapella group in college and hearing them sing together for the first time. He literally starts stimming in excitement in the front row of the church. He begins mouthing the lyrics and wiggling along to the beat at a funeral. I don't care if he's a grown man. It was adorable. Fucking fight me.

Thinking about how Eddie is a deeply silly man who has been forced into always being the responsible one. Thinking about How Buck is someone who longs to be taken seriously but is always treated like he's immature or irresponsible. Thinking about how Buck gives Eddie the freedom to be his most ridiculous and how Eddie trusts Buck with his most serious responsibilities and problems.

Bothersome beast, comforting friend

put down the chat gpt. consume too much caffeine and nicotine and write a paper that you barely understand while you approach hallucination territory from too little sleep and too much raging. engage with academia in the way god intended

#I need to study Buck and his low self-esteem like a bug

can we talk about the details in challengers though bc yes the churro scene but patrick hooking a foot under the stool next to him so art will sit closer to him. patrick swiping through all the girls but taking a minute to swipe the guy on the app. the beds pushed together. the mirroring action of art spitting his gum in tashi's hand now and in patrick's hand then. everything, just everything.
