Oh sh!t.
#me and my Nm!yellow steve#me and my rainbow steve as an allegory for Jesus#me and my semi-subconscious attempts to get closer to God via fictional relationship#me and my elemental steve as a metaphor for old toxic habits that you excuse over and over again bc you can understand why they existed#me and my drug AUs where Nm!yellow steve overdoses and goes through lethal withdrawals bc I’ve always had this imaginary scenario#where I get addicted to drugs and I’m alone and homeless on the streets of NYC bc I went there to pursue big dreams and ended up crashing#me and my simultaneously touch averse and touch starved Nm!yellow steve because I don’t want to need physical closeness but i crave it#me and my preference to play with Nm!yellow steve over Nightmare Steve bc I; to; want to be redeemed#and I too feel faced with an impossible amount of how unworthy and not-good I am bc things in my past and the self-destructive ways#I know that I function on#yeah#the steve saga#nightmare steve#my freaking nightmare steve im so sorry you have come to be a victim of my shallow emotions
