Why Would You Say It AGAIN

God Bless the Palestinian Muslims who are celebrating Ramadan. God Bless the Palestinian Christians who are celebrating Lent. God Bless the Palestinian Jewish people who are celebrating Passover.

I hope God makes this time of fasting easier on them and that they get closer to God. I pray that someday God will grant them rest and safety.

Thinking about game night at the Jopper household with the party and everyone.

Dustin is playing score keeper / ref after losing a long game of rock, paper, scissors.

At first, they start with a game of charades, trying to figure out who will be on what teams for the final game.

No one is surprised when only Joyce can guess what Hopper is miming (besides two times when El gets it first). Unfortunately for everyone else, this turns into a very gross jopper flirting session. Will and El are the most disturbed out of anyone - Jonathan is too high to know what’s going on.

When Steve gets up, everyone expects Robin to guess exactly what he’s saying. Surprisingly, Eddie beats her to it every time although him and Steve have hardly ever hung out - both assuming the only thing they have in common is Dustin. The weirdest moment is when Steve cups his hands and Eddie immediately, correctly guesses, “Goldfish!”

When Max goes, Dustin really has the worst time being ref because Lucas swears that he said the answer before El did and vice versa. Dustin has to decide on a tie for most answers. No one is prepared for the look Lucas and El give Nancy when she gets one right answer before them.

Argyle goes up and no one gets what he means. He goes a full five minutes doing the most intense mime. In the final three seconds, he sighs, and holds his arms above his head spread wide. Jonathan yells, “Pineapple!” as soon as the timer rings out. Everyone takes a moment to try to process how any of his mime could mean pineapple. The closest he got was when he was rolling around on the ground?

Nancy gets up and everyone is expecting this to be an epic Jonathan versus Steve showdown. Absolutely not. Robin gets everything. Every single one. As the game goes on, Nancy’s smile gets bigger and bigger. And Robin gets more and more flustered and red.

When Mike stands up, no one really knows what’s going to happen - it’s been awkward since El and Mike decided to call it quits. When Mike first starts going, Hopper starts guessing things like, “Murder. Homicide. Agony. Torture…” and Joyce has to pull him to the kitchen for a bit. When Steve starts guessing, Mike breaks the silence and yells, “No!” in frustration. Finally, Will takes over and starts guessing correctly.

The next game they decide to play in groups is the most intense, dramatic game of Sorry ever.

Hopper and Joyce run out to get food for everyone - and fresh air specifically for Hopper. And Argyle and Jonathan sneak away to get high out of their minds.

This leads to the groups:

Steddie + Dustin, Elumax, Ronance, and Byler

It’s absolute chaos.

At one point, Lucas tries to argue that it’s mainly a game of chance, and Nancy slams her fists down saying that there is so much strategy (Robin yells, “Yeah! What she said!”).

Mike personally tries to ruin any move Steve makes. He sarcastically says, “Sorry,” moving Steve piece far away from home. Eddie yells, “Are you?! Are you really sorry?!” And Mike backs off for the rest of the game.

El gets called out for slowly moving a piece forward with her powers when she thinks no one is looking. But Robin and Dustin catch her wiping her nose.

Will begins muttering, “Why couldn’t this be D&D or Nintendo?” over and over at one point. Mike holds his hand to make him feel better - it works.

Max ends up getting her last piece home for her team, winning the game, after saying how she doesn’t really care if she wins or loses the whole time. (But she really really wanted to win)

Joyce and Hopper come back to find Will screaming, “Finally!” while dragging Mike away to probably play Nintendo. Steve is hugging Eddie, whispering soothing words about how it’s okay to lose sometimes. Robin is stuttering and rambling after Nancy winks at her and tells her that they make a pretty good team. Dustin is yelling at Elumax for cheating. Argyle and Jonathan are missing.

Despite all of it, Joyce and Hopper agree family game night needs to happen again.

how u doing

im not thinking about it

"there's no straight explanation for this' but there is always a queerplatonic explanation, you just aren't ready for that conversation yet

edit of all time

i’m in a good place (my room) but i’m also not in a good place (deep physical and psychological suffering)

ok so i'm regressing (back in the supergirl fandom). happy december folks. and i would just like to say -- if you still believe the super friends were the Good Guys™, then you are wearing BLINDERS. like ok, the whole point of the show is that there are no such thing as Good Guys and Bad Guys. But also, even if there were, Ms. Billionare Weapons Manufacturer and Alien ICE are not anywhere near the nice list. I'm sorry, you're telling me that that the secret government black ops group that held aliens in SOLITARY GLASS CAGES with no trial or charges and no way to defend themselves was the good guy? idgaf about kryptonite, that's despicable. not to mention contracting kara's friends off the street to hack the fuck out of everyone ever? no warrants, no judges, no oversight. and then consistently involving l corp? despite the fact that they keep killing people left right and center? yall what are you ON what really gets me is lena's "kara you would be playing god" line in s6. guys. guys. i hate to break it to you. but what would you call what you have been doing for the last 6 years? the harun-el experiments? the universe fuckery (less kara's fault)? medusa at the end of s2? don't get me started on that, what the fuck. these people are walking human rights violations i call it comfort copaganda for a reason, ok? this shit is wildly unethical and a little horrifying. i'm not saying that these characters are unlovable -- you can pry supercorp out of my cold, dead hands. but i am saying that the criticisms -- of lena, of the deo, of alex -- you see in supergirl fandom (fics, textposts, fanart, etc) are a good thing. and quite frankly, more interesting than the DEO Knight In Shining Armor approach. ty to the authors and bloggers and artists who challenge that kind of status quo we have in this fandom. you're my favorites.
