little kids are so fucking funny man. had a kid that couldn’t be any older than like 8 or so come up to me today asking where our dinosaur books where, and when i tried to gently redirect them downstairs (where our kids section is) they very matter-of-fairly informed me that they’d already read every book down there and are ready to learn about the “secret, grown-up only dinosaurs” now

cannot recommend more putting secrets and hints in your creative work that you dont expect anyone to figure out

I have in my head a very Southern Reach Trilogy (it's 4 books now lol) weird, tripping sci for government conspiracy and concealment take on Stranger Things but it centers around the Upside Down displacing people in time.

Mostly I just have an idea of 80s canon Eddie rescue-trapped in a government bunker with 2025! Steve and how the culture clash would be interesting, but also how neither of them know what time they are currently residing in.

Transformers is fun for this because the new shows occasionally reinvent (or reintroduce) the same plot threads or ideas or ye olde Thing That Made Many People Mad and I can always tell what got poked by which of my ancient fanfics is getting attention

Being in a fandom for 20+ years is weird because you’ll see posts like, “How come I never see people mention x” and it’s like. We did. We talked about that a lot, actually. Actually it’s something that came up. And it’s hard not to be like, “Yeah, we discussed this fifteen years ago.” Half of this fandom wasn’t even born when these discussions happened. Wild.

Talking with writers online

Their stories: Amazing grammar, soaring vocabulary, beautiful imagery and prose which flows like a river.

In chats: no capitalisation or punctuation, swears like a sailor, misspellings everywhere, acronyms and abbreviations every five words, idek

Actually, I love the thought of Steve seeing that Hopper is letting some things slide with him because he’s in the party and taking it to mean that he now has crime immunity. And then goes wild with it.

It’s a sight to see because Eddie kinda thinks he’s hallucinating when he skips out on some drug awareness rally just to walk out to the parking lot and see Steve Harrington breaking into the Chief of Police’s car.

Eddie, standing there like an idiot: Um…what are you doing?

Steve, pulling Hopper’s spare key out of the sunvisor: Wanna get a milkshake?

Celebrity front man Eddie munson and regular dude Steve harrington

Steve: Hey, man, I'm Steve.

Eddie *Shakes Steve's hand*: Eddie Munson.

Steve: Nice to meet you. You know you have the same name as some rock frontman... Coffin... something... Anyways my little brother is obsessed with them!

Eddie *leaning his chin on his hand*: You don't say.

Steve: totally. So where are you from?

Eddie: Well I live in L.A. for work now, but I'm originally from Hawkins, Indiana.

Steve: No way! That's where I'm from! And that Coffin band. That's the reason my little brother loves them so much. He says they're... I dont know, geologically connected or something.

Eddie: That's wild!

Steve: Seriously! I'm surprised you didn't get, like, mistaken for him or something. You've got that whole rocker look.

Eddie, completely swept away by Steve's obliviousness: We should go out sometime.

Steve: Uh... yeah! Sure! Let me get your number.

Eddie: Or maybe you should just come home with me.

Steve: Uh... I dont...

Eddie: Or let's just get married. Yeah, let's do that.

Steve *Pointing behind him at the door and frantically looking around the club for robin*: I actually have to get going...

"’I burn for you’? Who talks like this?” Steve asks, squinting at the note in hands. “What does that even mean?”

“Think it means he has the hots for you,” Robin says, waggling her eyebrows.

“He?” Steve asks, his voice pitching up almost comically.

“Oh, please. You can't tell me you don't recognize that chicken scratch.”

At Steve's confused look, Robin pulls him into the kitchen, pointing at one of the many post-it notes that have taken over his fridge’s surface.

Eddie’s handwriting on the note reminding Steve of his eye doctor appointment matches the note in his hand.

“Oh.”

Books: Main characters must follow the plot.

Fanfiction: Okay but what if they went to IKEA and fought over furniture instead?
