Alfred Hitchcock Blonde

"Uh, what?" Eddie finds himself saying, against his own will. He heard Harrington the first time, doesn't need or want him to repeat himself, but his disbelief seems to have won out against his grudge for all jocks and his indifference to Steve Harrington in particular.

Harrington's face pinches, like he's three seconds away from rolling his eyes. He doesn't do that, though, which Eddie will give him one brownie point for. "I asked if you had a minute to talk." Eddie's taking away his brownie point because Steve 'asks' in a way that sounds more like a demand.

Hearing the question and or demand a second time doesn't lower Eddie's hackles, but it does pique his curiosity. He drums his fingers atop his lunchbox, thinking it over. He wishes he could say he's pretending to think about it before he tells Harrington to fuck off, but the truth is he actually is thinking about it.

What could Harrington possibly have to say to him? They very much do not run in the same circles. Eddie only talks business at the picnic table past the edge of the woods out back and everyone who buys from him knows that. They share several classes, since they're both seniors, but everyone knows Eddie's on a track to not graduate (again) so he can't possibly be coming to discuss Mrs. Click's homework assignment.

"Sure. Should we go elsewhere or...?" Eddie trails off, lifting a hand to wave in a circle in Steve's direction, questioning.

Steve looks over his shoulder, back towards the side of the cafeteria taken up by the 'popular' crowd. When Steve turns his face back, he looks- well, kind of sad for a moment before it's smoothed over with indifference.

Interesting.

Robin sighed. “Promise?”

Steve held up his pinky. “Pink swear, Buckley.”

They wound their pinkies together tightly, staring into the other’s eyes.

“I love you.” Robin said softly. “So fucking much.”

“I love you too.” Steve felt his own tears welling up. Fuck when did he get so soft?

“Now,” Robin cleared her throat. “Put on a fucking shirt. I hate seeing your gross ass chest hair.”

“Hey,” Steve swatted at her. “The ladies love it.”

“It’s like you have a shitty shag rug glued to your chest.”

“You’re a mean bird, Buckley.” Steve tightened the towel around his waist, opening the door wide.

“Oh god,” Chrissy squeaked, turning her head to the side and putting a hand up. “Oh god, I didn’t realize you were busy. Don’t mind me.”

“Oh shit!” Steve shut the door to hide, leaving it open just wide enough for his head. “Sorry Cunningham, didn’t expect anyone upstairs.”

“No my bad,” Chrissy was rapidly turning red. “Clearly you and Robin are busy. I’ll come back later.”

“Ahhh no no no,” Robin shoved her way out of the door as she waved her hands. “It isn’t what it looks like. Steve and I are platonic. Like capital ‘P’ platonic. I would never ever date him.”

“You don’t need to make it sound so awful,” Steve pouted as Robin whipped around.

“Shut up Dingus.” She hissed before turning back to Chrissy.

“See I was just helping Steve out with some medical stuff.”

“So he couldn’t be wearing pants?” Chrissy peeked out at the girl, confused.

“Well, okay so like we were chatting while he was showering. Which isn’t that weird, everything was fully covered. And like girls and guys can be best friends without being sexual. Oh god, can you imagine us being sexual Steve? Capital ‘I’ in ick. Like it would be so awful and to see your penis in a sexual way is just. But actually, it’s really any p–”

Oh my god. Steve swung open the door and slammed a hand on Robin’s mouth, pulling the girl close to cover himself.

“Birdie, I think that’s enough,” Steve gave Chrissy a tight smile. “Sorry Chris, did you need something?”

“I, uh,” Chrissy refused to make eye contact. “The kids were wondering if you had extra sodas and they just started so I ran up the stairs cause Nancy was on your house phone and I didn’t want to bug her.”

“There are a bunch in the garage. Sorry, I would have brought them in but, you know, lost track of time,” Steve gave her his most charming smile. “I’ll be down in a minute to get you guys situated snack-wise.”

“Oh you don’t have to–”

“No trouble!” Steve’s voice took on a new octave as he tried to hurry the situation. “No trouble at all! Thanks, Cunningham.”

“Yep!” Chrissy was equally pitchy as she all but ran down the stairs.

Steve yanked Robin into his bedroom, slamming the door. “Fucking hell Rob.”

Oh fuck!” Robin pushed off Steve, pacing. “Did I just out myself? Shit. Shit shit shit.”

“I think we’re okay,” Steve said, going to the closet. “I think I caught you in time. But hell. We really got to work on your rambling.”

“What can I say?” Robin squawked, flapping her arms. “She’s a pretty girl. Granted, a straight pretty girl, but like. I don’t know! I had to make sure she knew I wasn’t into penis.”

“Specifically my penis,” Steve grumbled, yanking on his yellow sweatshirt.

“Oh does it hurt that the fucking lesbian doesn’t find your penis attractive?” Robin mocked, collapsing onto his bed. “It hurt your feelings?”

“Stop saying the word penis. Jesus.” Steve said yanking on a pair of blue plaid briefs. “It sounds wrong coming out of your mouth.”

“Probably 'cause I’m a big ol’ lesbian,” Robin deadpanned. “But what did you want me to say? That I liked your penis? Gross.”

“I’ll have you know a lot of people think my dick is amazing,” Steve jabbed, yanking on a pair of jeans on the floor. “A lot of people.”

“I’m not one of those people,” Robin snapped. “Your dick is like, I don’t know, average.”

“Average?” Steve growled. “I’m above average thank you very much.”

“Alright fine,” Robin sat up, throwing her hands in the air. “You have an above-average dick. I’m sorry. You happy now?”

“I am actually,” Steve sat on the bed, yanking on a pair of socks. “Thrilled.”

“Glad I could help,” Robin rolled her eyes.

Well fuck you, Buckley, Steve thought as he stood up.

I’m not sure whether I should laugh or cry.

Is OP aware that oh so many books exist on this subject?

And that almost universally the ones authored by people with doctorates in classicism and mythology disagree with OP?

Including the… epic hymn that first told this story? You know what’s in that original source material… right?

Abducted, yes. Demeter mourned? Definitely. Rape, no.

So here’s some info on Ancient Greek wedding traditions which (oh my stars and garters!!) included abducting the bride. With the father’s permission, which Hades got before he took her away.

Here’s a whole book on the subject of Ancient Greek wedding custom and its conflation with funeral rites. (Which sounds a bit like Hades and Persephone to anyone who’s ever dabbled in things like explication and context)

Here’s a link to another book that talks about Persephone’s rise to power as a result of her willingly eating the pomegranate seeds.

Oh shit!!

Here’s a whole bunch of myths and hymns that talk about her Queen of the Underworld badassery!!

Holy pug tacos Batman!!

Here’s another book about the myth focusing on the seasonal religious and liminal rites. WHICH TAKE PLACE IN THE DRY SUMMER (not the fucking winter), which you know if you read a book.Way to go, OP!

All these fucking books!  What could anyone possibly do with them all?!?!?!?! Do you eat books to absorb their powers instead of read them?

A better guess would be that you got into a moral panic over the name of a certain Renaissance statue and maybe after reading three pages of Edith Hamilton or the first paragraph of a Wikipedia article. And then used that to castigate and demean not only the people who actually take their limited time to create gorgeous art but also to denigrate modern day worshippers of Persephone and Hades?

lmaoooooooooo they do

it’s in the correct order, fyi, but there’s definitely episodes in between

on that note, Heroes’ Day is in the correct place so y’all don’t need to worry about that

if you’re looking for a better way to watch, here’s my order (yes, with some s2 part 1 episodes thrown in, sorry). Only change I’d make is to watch Sandboy directly before Catalyst, which is actually how Netflix has it. 

the Netflix order isn’t too bad but a) I think episodes in-between on the 3-parter is a bit confusing, and b) Frozer will be mildly confusing at its current place

Avengers AU - If Tony was Peter’s biological father

Tony is super protective of his son. And Peter, inspired by his dad, becomes Spiderman anyway (his dad and his Uncle Rhodey figure him out in a second though).

FP: Whatever it takes.
