“I feel relaxed around you, princess.”

Steve hums, blinks a few times, drowsy and content. He nuzzles his nose against Billy’s chin, who huffs and puffs a bit, trying to blow a brown strand of hair away that tickles and turns the page in whatever fantasy novel Dustin had lent him this week.

“Yeah?” A smile forms on Steve’s lips around that one soft question.

There is no need for Billy to tell him, no need to spill out what Steve can feel so intensely in his boyfriend’s soft posture, melting together with him in all the right ways, in the warm arm thrown around his neck and the cold toes wormed under his tights. There is no need for Billy to tell him, but that he does shows how far they have come -

- how far from Billy being alone and screaming his anger at the world, fighting his own monster, the one that tainted his soul rotten and his skin black 

-  how far from Steve being heartbroken and numbing his sadness in childish chatter, fighting rotten monsters for a chance not to die alone

- how far from dying 

- from breaking

“Yeah.” Billy’s soft breath tickles over the sunny spot on Steves nose.

They have come so far. Surrounded by sunshine in their own apartment. Surrounded by friends who do care about them, both of them. Surrounded by love.

Steve twists his body and curls closer, tucking Billy’s chin down for a soft and chaste kiss, lips lingering, breath mixing, smiles matching.

“Good.”

I seriously can’t believe some people from this fandom STILL fights over how these two dudes have sex. That’s literally not important. We should focus on other things in their relationship like when they’re ready to open up with each other and not on ”How many times did Steve fuck Billy?” Or ”Was Steve begging for Billy to give that dick everyday?”

The thing is, this is not unique to the Harringrove fandom. The top/bottom ‘discourse’ is in every m/m fandom. Every single one of them. Harringrove is just one of many. But I think as a fandom matures, it’s one of those things that goes away. (And I suspect the person sending those messages to half the people on tumblr was just a troll, so.)

More importantly, I adore the idea of Billy and Steve slowly opening up to each other. Maybe Billy sees how he’d gone down the wrong path when it comes to befriending Steve and offers just a tiny bit of himself to Steve to show he wants to make things better. Maybe Steve sees how Billy is handling all the events at Starcourt and wants to just offer this beaten down guy a bit of support because Steve’s got so much empathy and love in his body and he knows how the Upside Down can fuck a person up so he tells Billy how it felt to find out about monsters and the nightmares he’s had since. 

Just the two of them taking those tiny steps towards friendship and trust and love - I could die. I love it so much.

He’s fucking tired of all of us referring to him as a goddamn twink. He had no choice, y’all.

Billy: 

(also, plot twist: its actually Billy in Steves mask because he knows how petty we are and what we gonna make even more bottom steve content just out of spite and for Billy there is never ENOUGH)

[steveskhakis-deactivated2021022]

I love how you think. Billy just wants us to make him fuck Steve so hard the boy ends up having to be sent to the ER. I’m honestly not mad about that.

Alright harringrove writers, here's some info on what its like to be high, by someone who gets high a lot. ill try and keep it mostly subjective, im not trying to convince anyone to try it. you can use it as a reference if u wanna write abt steve and billy smoking weed.

Contact high isnt rly a thing. Unless your tolerance is super low, and the smoke is being directly blown into your face. Then its not rly a contact high coz youre breathing in the smoke at that point. you cant get high from smelling weed, or from being in the same room/car as someone who is smoking, unless they're hotboxing it.

Munchies are p well known abt at this point, but most ppl dont know that eating kills your high. The more you eat after smoking, the faster your high will be over. If u wanna get real high, smoke on an empty stomach.

Soda is your enemy, especially if you get really burpy. Sodas with harsher carbonation (sprite, pepsi) are even worse, and can make you vomit.

You forget a lot of what occurs, especially things that are said, especially when its funny. Time seems to go faster and slower at the same time, and if youve already got memory problems, u might forget small chunks of the night.

There is a period of extreme sleepiness, and relaxation. Music feels the best during this time, and its so easy to just doze right off. You're more likely to forget stuff during this time, especially if you do end up drifting/dozing. Sometimes being high makes it hard to sleep tho, even if youre completely exhausted.

Everything feels a little more intense. Touches, textures, temperature, sounds, p much anything. It can get too intense and lead to a panic/anxiety attack, especially in people who experience sensory overload regularly/often.

People get horny when high, its p common. Its coz everything feels more, and you have less inhibitions.

I might add more to this if i remember anything else. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Can we just talk about jalph

Jack Merridew and Ralph from Lord of the Flies who

“Smiled at each other with shy liking” 

The first time they met

And even when Jack was bossing everyone else about right from the start, he and Ralph worked together

“Ralph found himself alone on a limb with Jack and they grinned at each other, sharing this burden […] ‘Almost too heavy.’ Jack grinned back,  ‘Not for the two of us.’”

Jack and Ralph who act in a flirty way around one another without even trying

“His grey shorts were sticking to him with sweat. Ralph glanced at them admiringly, and when Jack saw his glance he explained.”

Jack and Ralph who even though their leadership ends up in conflict, turned to each other before anyone

“Ralph and Jack looked at each other while society paused about them. The shameful knowledge grew in them and they did not know how to begin confession.”

Jack and Ralph who act like a married couple taking care of children. Jack’s out hunting and when he returns Ralph is hurt at being left alone. 

“D’you see? All day I’ve been working with Simon. No one else.”

Jack who gets jealous that Ralph looks out for Piggy, 

“That’s right -  favour Piggy as you always do-”

Jack and Ralph who through everything, even when Jack leaves and when he succumbs to savagery, always have something between them that never becomes malice.

“They looked at each other, baffled, in love and hate. All the warm salt water of the bathing-pool and the shouting and splashing and laughing were only just sufficient to bring them together again.”

Had to spill the tea

So I was looking at a bunch of high school Aus and headcanons and I just had to share what happened with the LOTF election project in my high school class. 

The highlights:

-One group’s slogan for “Vote for Ralph!” was, “Follow the shell or go to hell.” (They also had “My father’s in the navy, so I’ll do my best for you daily!”) Their video was basically them chanting it.

-My group was “Vote for Jack.” It was basically a bunch of “Shut it, Piggy!” and tossing around a Minecraft stuffed pig because that was all we had in terms of pigs. Rule number one was, “Screw the conch!” Our video was titled, “How do we establish order? We form a cult.” It had footage of us dancing around with hoodies on and flanking the fire with bandanas. I was a littlun and I had to demonstrate corporal punishment as the victim (I was a really tiny person back then), i.e. being burned at the stake.

-One of the groups’ slogan was, “Vote for Piggy and he’ll take you to the bank!” One of the others was, “He’s the man…vote Piggy’s plan.” It was smol, to say the least. Basically lots of people falling down, and Peppa Pig was Piggy’s mascot…so…Another poster for Piggy was a picture of him from the 1990 movie taken political-style, with the word “SPECS” strewn across the photo.

-The last candidate was Simon. Another 1990 picture, and the slogan was “Vote for Simon if you want a fine man.” The video was Simon leading the others in a round of “Kumbaya”, outside. The person who played Simon was eating kale chips.

Comment with your reactions to these creations, or post about your own (or redirect me to the link where you posted about your own). I look forward to it!

Cute jalph idea

I remember in the book Jack had a really bad sunburn on his back and I can imagine Ralph kinda helping him feel more comfortable and helping him with it (seriously I had sunburn on my thigh and it was hell).

Alternatively:

Ralph: “welcome back from hunting all day!” *playfully slaps Jack on his back where the burn is*

[emotionally-ralphunctioning]

In which Ralph has a compulsive need to reply to spam…And everyone is getting frustrated, to say the least.

Island Shenanigans™ Family edition

Jack - I put the 'hoe' in homo

Ralph - Jack, that's incorrect grammar

Jack - The only thing incorrect about me is the void right where my heart was supposed to be

Ralph - Don't say that!

Jack - But luckily you were here to fill it

Ralph - Awwww!

*starts making out*

Roger - I hate this family.

[jack-attack-merridew-blog]

Jack: This date is boring

Ralph: It isn’t a date Jack, I said I was going to see where the beast could live

Jack: Then why did you invite me?

Ralph: I specifically said “don’t come with me Jack” and you said “don’t tell me what to do”, and followed me here

[illiterarcy]

Ralph: there’s only one thing worse than dying..

*rips paper above ‘dying’ off to show ‘Jack’*

Boom.

Piggy: Jack.

Ralph: No.
