Finally done! What do you think they're saying?

I don't blame Steve for assuming that Dustin was referring to Eddie as his "good friend". As far as Steve can tell, Dustin hates him. Afterall, all the lashing out and insults began shortly after Eddie died. Why would Steve think Dustin was talking about him?

"you lure them in, i mow them down"

The only thing I'm actively acknowledging about s5 is Steve and his chainsaw let that boy go feral!

(also that henley, i lowkey want that henley)

I'm so normal about them (looks at four steddie fic drafts) anyway-

every once in a while I sit and giggle to myself about that pic of the pack of Trojan condoms in Eddie’s room and how there was a prominent clean square in the shape of the pack in the dust on the dresser when it was moved like he really got no bitches ever huh 😭

For those who would hold honor in their breast, Thou shalt be brave in the name of the Warrior Thou shalt defend the innocent in the name of the Mother Thou shalt be just in the name of the Father Thou shalt shield all women in the name of the Maiden Thou shalt be steadfast in the name of the Smith Thou shalt guide the lost in the name of the Crone Thou shalt uphold thine oaths from this day until thy last in the name of the Stranger And so rise, a Knight of the Seven Kingdoms

Commentary below the cut

While my giftee is no longer involved their prompt was illuminated manuscript with a kneeling Dunk (amazing line up with my own offer), and I knew just the Codex Manesse image.

Though the 'plot' veneer here is after Ashford, Ser Arlan's coat of arms (with the black diamond of a funerary hatchment) gets a top spot as part of Dunk's lineage.

Dunk's arms are simplified to be a little more real world heraldic.

The Targaryen arms are not the show version again for real world heraldry - where the important part is a consistent blazon (written description) rather than a absolutely consistent image. So unless the dragon was specified as in annulo (in a circle), these are can still be described as Sable, a thee-headed dragon Gules.

The little arm beasts are also Dunk & Baelor. I like to imagine them curled up together like the weirdest little cat things.

Dunk-beast is pointing specifically at the 'hold honor in their breast' line as an "I remembered my vows, did you?"

The helmet Baelor is presenting has the Targ color torse (fabric twist) as livery for a knight sworn to the house - the similar twist on Dunk's arm is absolutely his King's ✨favour✨. Winged crests in shield colors were very common in Germanic heraldry though it also double up here as a trace of Ser Arlan again.

Baelor's little cape has a pattern called vair which is supposed to look like a squirrel's winter fur. Royal mantles and all that.

And of course there's Thunder in the back.

Stranger Things season 1: beneath the superficial image of “peace and prosperity” in 1980s small-town America, there was the painful legacy of countless atrocities committed by the American government in the name of ‘freedom.’

Stranger Things season 4: evil Russians (not Soviets) have sent our All-American Hero to the gulags which apparently still exist in the 1980s and it’s up to us to save him 🇺🇸🦅🫡

It‘s summertime. Relaxing, sunbathing, bicycle riding.

And this number 130 of the „David and Patrick as Bert and Ernie“ series is probably the silliest one I’ve ever done. Enjoy.
