some tumblr user: i have dragons for sale

Eddie is the kind of person who dislikes things out of spite. that little ✨i’m not like the others, i’m so different, i’m non-conformist✨ voice that we’re all so very familiar with. so he dislikes taylor at first. going so far as to block all the taylor tags in all the social media (what? no i didn’t do that at all)

but then he actually listens to her music and gives her a chance, maybe she’s in some of steve’s or the kids’ playlists and he always finds himself nodding along, chains and belts clinking as he finds that her songs are actual bops. and then he listens to the lyrics and finds himself cut open, but it makes no sense for the music to be like this and the lyrics to be like that, so one day he talks about it with steve and they get into a debate about how she actually has a super nice voice, great lyrics, a whole fucking lot of talent and a real pretty smile.

and then he’s all in. wearing metallica shirts and chains and at least two studded belts, his patched battle vest, he’s looking as metal as they come, but what nobody knows is that he’s not nodding along to Holy Diver by Dio but rather Red (Taylor’s Edition) and he’s having the best time making metal covers of taylor’s songs — excited to show steve :D (and maybe taylor reacts to one of his covers and eddie dies a little)

One of my favorite things about Dio’s look is how Araki carried over those ridiculous black checkmark-looking ‘boy’s manga’-style eyebrows from BT Mashonen to his Part 3 design.
