when my wips ask where I'm at:
i just had a hilarious thought. imagine one of the kids or nancy or someone has been bugging steve about when he’s finally gonna get together with robin because they’re obviously perfect for each other. steve protests that they are just friends but the other person won’t relent. he knows he can’t out robin but he’s honestly at a loss for what else will make them leave it alone. in a moment of split second judgement he ends up blurting out that he’s gay.
they don’t believe him so he doubles down and tells them he’s dating eddie and that makes them leave it alone but now they think he and eddie are dating which causes a whole new problem for him. steve tells eddie what happened and all but begs him to play along. eddie agrees easily after a little pleading (he liked watching steve beg, sue him). cue fake dating where they are pining hopelessly after each other but think the other is only being affectionate because they are supposed to be pretending to date.
i don’t know how and why they get to be so pretty and i want to be pretty too but it doesn’t feel that way
yet there’s a feeling of contentment that i’m not like so, hoping to be handsome instead
and part of the reason is that there’s a peace in knowing you can be someone you’re not rather than someone you can’t be
I just know that out there, somewhere, are artists that have pinterest boards and youtube playlists of art tips and tutorials they’ll never view/use.
