Hugs to everyone who is upset about the news from yesterday. Our fandom is strong, the friendships we've made are stronger, and we're getting an ending, even if it isn't the one we'd hoped for. We'll be okay. And in the meantime, let's deal with our feelings through creation!

Week Twelve's Prompt is:

Stained.

Does a careless server spill some wine on a vintage coat? Do lips take on the color of the berries they're eating? Do tears leave trails down cheeks? Will someone's essence never be clean again? The possibilities are endless, but @interesting-egg and I hope to see as many of them as you can give us!

By now, you all know the rules, so let's put them below the cut in case we get any new joiners! The link to this week's collection is below:

Feels Like Karma

Week #12 Prompt: Forgotten | Word Count: 483 | Rating: M | POV: Barb | Characters: Barb, Nancy, Steve, Tommy H. & Carol | CW: Language, Mentions of Off-Screen Underage Sex (Canon) | Tags: S1, Missing Scene from "The Weirdo on Maple Street", Steve's Pool Party, Barb's Hurt, She Isn't Having a Good Time, So She's a Little Salty Towards All These Assholes

She didn't even want to come to Steve Harrington's house tonight, now she's been cast aside and forgotten. What Nancy swore she wouldn't be. Barb knew better, she did, and yet she wanted to believe. Wanted to pretend that her best friend wouldn't just ditch her for Steve Harrington's oft-ridden dick.

It may not be the orgy she'd snarkily predicted, but it's still disgusting.

Nancy was wearing a new bra, even if she lied about it, like she really thought she could sit there and tell her this wasn't the whole purpose of the night? Okay, sure.

Barb wasn't born yesterday.

And maybe she should have just let Nancy go by herself. Maybe she should have dropped her off and bowed out, went home, and read her book. Because she knew that this wouldn't be fun. But she also didn't want to be left out.

Even if that meant hanging out with Tommy H. and Carol, watching them go upstairs to have sex in Mr. and Mrs. Harrington's bed, like massive assholes. And they always have been. Now that's something they should just turn a blind-eye to, like all of high school, and middle school never happened? Well, Barb won't pretend she doesn't know these people.

She doesn't have warm and fuzzy thoughts about Steve Harrington. He's not completely terrible, but he's still who he is, and that's never gonna change. He's always gonna be King Steve. Spoiled, and self-centered, and thinking of nothing but himself.

He doesn't really care about Nancy. Barb knows that, even if Nancy doesn't.

He just wants in her pants.

Because she knows Steve. And Tommy H. and Carol, unfortunately. Even if she wishes she didn't.

So, she'll sit out here on this stupid diving board and wait for Steve to give Nancy the three pumps she's so obviously dying to get from him, and then they'll go home. Go back to normal, reset the status quo that has somehow been lost lately.

Barb looks down at her hand. Her thumb fucking hurts. It's throbbing and she's ready to go home, to take something for it. For as rich as they are, the Harrington medicine cabinet was severely lacking. She had to settle for wrapping it in a hopefully clean, dish rag. 

It's still bleeding. She hopes it doesn't need stitches, because that's going to be hard to explain to her parents. Not that they wouldn't believe any lie she'd tell, they probably would, but it's the principle of the matter. Getting hurt doing something really dumb feels like karma.

Bad juju.

Still, she can't just leave Nancy here. She, however reluctantly, agreed to be her guardian for the night to make sure she doesn't do anything stupid.

Too late.

But she can wait for her to make this mistake, get it out of her system, and then they can just forget all about it in the morning.

Let’s have a Kiki!

No, seriously, I rolled Keyleth for this week’s prompt, which I think will be fun for everyone. Going to make antler-shaped cookies? Perhaps a pretty salad? Or maybe something spicy for the the OG firebug! Perhaps, dare I say it...a keyfish? ;)

Create a dish (sweet, savory, somewhere in between, it does not matter) inspired by Keyleth from Critical Role. Post a picture here on tumblr, and tag it @criticalbakes! You can provide a recipe if you’d like, but you don’t have to.

You will have until next Monday (June 29th) to make your Keyleth dishes!

Remember that the dish need only be inspired by the character in some way; it doesn’t have to visually look like the character at all.

"I didn't mean anything by it, man!" he yelled, but the famous Billy Joel kept slicing at the man's stomach with a stiletto. "Really! It was just a twist of the truth! A white lie!"

Billy just scowled. "Everyone is so untrue," He almost growled.

"So what if I- if I- if I told Brenda I was at work! What she don't know won't hurt her!" the bleeding man said, pulling at the rope he was tied up with.
