Meme time.

[kitchen-spoon]

I’m looking for a Steddie fic I read awhile ago, Steve and Eddie break up but then Eddie’s ex comes back and drops off a kid. Everyone in the party but Steve knows about Eddie’s daughter. They all reunite at Dustin’s wedding and Eddie’s daughter is the flower girl.

I’m pretty sure it is part of a series maybe? Idk but if anyone knows what I am talking about please tell me the name of this I am dying to read-read it.

M/F queer ships. Represent the queer people who date the opposite sex. I don't necessarily ship Mileven, but I'm throwing them a bone because they get a lot of hate. This is mostly just a shoutout for people who aren't straight but date the opposite sex. Peace be with us all. Love always. These are my headcanons, so take them or leave them. 🥰

Again, I love all of those wonderfull people!

round four of our st "best of" character polls! please tell me your thoughts on our dear dustin henderson <3

*since "best" is subjective, it can mean whatever you want: the version you love the most, the version that's most well-written, the version that's most compelling, the version that shows the character making the most "right" choices, the version that displays the greatest performance from the actor – whatever you think defines the "best"!

check out el's poll here, max's poll here, and lucas's poll here!

'David Tennant and Catherine Tate might have had epic returns to Doctor Who in the 60th anniversary specials but there's one comeback that might just outshine them - the icon herself, Trinity Wells, has returned in The Giggle.

For the uninitiated, Trinity, played by Lachele Carl, is an American news anchor who appeared in Russell T Davies's first run on the show, between 2005 and 2010. She was often seen giving news reports on whatever alien-related chaos had hit Earth that week and has also appeared in spin-offs Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures.

The Giggle saw Trinity finally return to her rightful place on screen – but this time, she's also been driven mad by The Toymaker (brought to life by Neil Patrick Harris), firing accusations about the metal band provided to her by UNIT.

Fans were thrilled to see the character back on screen – and hopeful that she'll be a part of Doctor Who's lore for years to come.

One said on Twitter, which was recently re-branded as X: "Trinity Wells returning is better than any multi-Doctor story."

Another said: "TRINITY WELLS IS BACK IN THE GIGGLE CONFIRMED THIS IS A DAY OF NATIONAL CELEBRATION."

One more added: "The #DoctorWho return we have all been waiting for is happening, Trinity Wells returns in the Giggle!"

The Giggle saw Tennant's Doctor reunite with one of his oldest enemies, The Toymaker. The character first appeared in the 1966 story The Celestial Toymaker, played by Michael Gough.

The new special also saw various other returns, including Kate Stewart (played by Jemma Redgrave), Shirley Anne Bingham (played by Ruth Madeley) and, of course, Doctor Who legend Melanie Bush (played by Bonnie Langford).'

Source. More mentions of Jane of Oxford in the Artemis zine. This one also includes Jenny Falconer as a separate individual. Of course, I have no real idea what to make of any of it. This sonnet is also featured in the Sun Daughter Press reprint of Enter Amelia Bingham, but credited to one Miss Jane Anstruther.

Was this just a tiny group of girls, writing to each other, and themselves, under different names? Was Oxford positively brimming with Janes in the 1980s? Am I going g'doinking crazy?

Keep the canon couples together please.

Marvel keeps separating their couples. Disney seems to have infuriatingly done away with romance altogether. And what’s more. I truly could not give less of a shit about any of the fanon ships. None of them appeal to me. And most of the think pieces, that are NEVER tagged properly mind you, make me roll my eyes in complete and total aggravation. So please. Just keep the canon couples together. That’s literally all I’m asking.

Stranger Things Band AU

TW for themes of abuse, parental neglect, mental health issues (and things like sh and su*cidal thoughts) and underage weed/alcohol use

So I made a series of moodboards for tiktok of my band AU, so lemme show you. Please reblog and leave replies and stuff, it took me 3 days to make this post because the app is stupid TvT.

A lot of this is based on an rp with my partner (though the band wasn’t the main focus, so a lot of this is also expanded on from those ideas), so credit to them for helping create and inspire me further @mjthechaotic

Background

This AU would take place in modern times, with S4 happening in 2016 and the band forming in early 2017. Eddie does live, and helps the kids a ton when they’re first starting out. They also defeat Vecna before the gates opened. The band is called The Demodogs.

Ships for this AU are Byler, Elumax (in the flavor of they all date each other and not just both of them with Max), and Duzie

Mike Wheeler (He/They)

Mike is the lead vocalist, and occasionally plays guitar when needed. They were the one who thought of the band, and approached Will first, because he wouldn’t have gone through with it if he said no. He writes the majority of the music for the band, but can’t figure out drum annotations for the life of him.

His mom finally fucking divorces Ted in this AU, and he pretty much only wants to spent time with Holly after. Ted’s also a bit of an abusive dick to Mike cause ✨homophobia✨. They have the majority of the band rehearsals in the garage of their house. Karen is just glad he’s doing something he clearly enjoys.

Mike is demiboy and gay (gender roles, who’s that?)

Will “Zombie Boy” Hopper-Byers (He/Him)

Will is the rhythm guitarist and does backup vocals. He decided to reclaim Zombie Boy as a cool sounding stage name (Jonathan’s speech in S2 may have made him like the name more). He designed the band logo and even painted it on the bass drum for Max. He had lots of stage fright at first but slowly gained confidence and overcame it.

When Joyce and Hopper finally got married, they decided to hyphenate all their names. Him and Jonathan started calling Hopper dad (Will did before Jonathan) because Lonnie is an abusive piece of trash. When Lonnie finds out about the band’s success, he tries to show up to get some of the money from it, but Will pulls a badass move and chases him off the property with the shotgun.

He’s gay like in canon

Jane “Eleven” Hopper-Byers (She/They)

El is bassist and a backup vocalist. She’s the “mom” of the group, making sure everyone has water and snacks at rehearsal. She also likes to use her powers to play jokes sometimes. Made Eleven their stage name so their friends wouldn’t have to constantly correct to Jane in order to hide it. She got her bass in Lenora as a 15th birthday gift from Joyce. She and Will are often clumped together as the “Byers twins” and they just go with it.

They asked their dad if they could dye their hair pink. They settled on a compromise of pink bangs, and Max dyed them. She has a small tattoo of a flower on her left wrist (opposite to the 011). Hopper did allow them to get it because it’s easy to hide when needed and Joyce reminded him she has one she didn’t have a choice in, and letting her have one she actually likes could help her.

El is demigirl, pansexual, and polyamorous

Lucas Sinclair (He/Him)

Lucas is the lead guitarist. Only reason anyone found out he could even play was because Erica spilled it to everyone. He does actually write lyrics for songs, but most of the time he’s too insecure about them to show anyone. He has a very diverse music taste, listening to everything from R&B and rap to heavy metal and americana (keep country the fuck away from him though). He did get his ears pierced and was a bit cocky about it after, so Max had to (affectionately) humble him a bit.

Between Hellfire, basketball, and the band, he has a packed schedule. His parents at first were concerned that the band would cause his grades to drop but the opposite happened. They were both super proud of his grades, and they stopped the car so he could call the others when one of their songs came on the radio for the first time.

Bisexual disaster incarnate, and polyamorous.

Maxine “MADMAX” Mayfield (She/They/He)

Drummer for the Demodogs. Dustin helped modify their drum set to be more functional with their mobility issues, since once he woke up from the coma, they had chronic nerve issues. She uses drumming as a form of therapy for all the anger and trauma. They constantly make fun of Mike for not being able to write the sheet music for the drums.

Things at home improved slowly for them. His mom’s drinking got much worse before it got better. Susan’s wake up call was the time she found Max’s wheelchair had tipped over three hours later because she was passed out drunk on the couch. The two of them were able to move out of the trailer and move in with Dustin and his mom (are they lesbians or are they platonic? you decide!), so the two of them kinda have a sibling relationship from living together. Since Max is still a skater at heart, she likes to do wheelies and chase people down with their wheelchair. Does need glasses now since their vision seriously declined after Vecna cured them.

Max is genderfluid, omnisexual, and polyamorous.

Dustin Henderson (He/Him)

Dustin plays keyboard and uses a talk box. He initially planned on being manager, but got roped in by the others. When they were coming up with the name, he suggested Scoops Troop, and then had to be reminded he was the only one who had been on the scoops troop. He helps a lot with the sound mixing and works with Suzie manage their social media by helping with editing videos and shit. Also, he and Mike are total music theory nerds.

Like all things, Claudia is super supportive of him and the band. She definitely sends Dustin with extra snacks to practice, so between him and El, the gang is set. Claudia also recognises how little Steve’s parents are in his life and basically adopts him as her son, even though he’s an adult. Plus, Max and their mom move in, so he goes from being the only child to a single mom, to a kid with two siblings and two moms (platonic co-parents, or lesbians? again, you decide!) He does occasionally wish his dad was there to see how far he’s come, but seeing his mom(s) and Steve being there for him always makes him smile.

Dustin is trans FtM and a bisexual king.

Suzie Bingham (She/Her)

Suzie is the social media manager and sound producer for the band. She uses her knowledge of how different apps use their algorithms to push content in order to give them an upper hand in being noticed. She also finds the technical side of music to be interesting and learned to use a complicated music software in a day that took Dustin months to figure out and master. She decided she didn’t like it and programmed her own that fit the band’s purposes.

Suzie moved away from home to Hawkins with Eden when she turns 18 and graduates. She wanted space to be her own person (as did Eden, and she was tired of being resident babysitter). She is still quite religious, but her views are more flexible than they were before and she has the ability to choose what she thinks is right for her and her life.

Suzie is pansexual (fite me, I dare you)

Erica Sinclair (She/Her)

Erica is financial and scheduling manager. How did she get involved? Came to a practice to annoy Lucas and started an argument over logistics with Dustin. Decided they were all hopeless without her and took the position. She goes to meetings with people all the time who think it’s a joke that she’s handling their finances, until they see what she’s capable of. She has saved them ungodly amounts of money. She has also almost gotten them thrown out of venues a few times by arguing with the managers (even though they deserved it). Also do not leave her and Max in the same room. They may just plot world domination.

Despite her intelligence, she struggles to be taken seriously by teachers and has to really fight them on letting her skip a grade (cough racism and misogyny cough), knowing she deserves to. She’s allowed to, and excels in her classes. She does believe in the free market, but thinks American capitalism is failing, biased, and has too many roadblocks for minorities.

I don’t have any specific queer headcanon for Erica, but I have seen both aroace and lesbian headcanons out there, and I love them both equally.

Ship hcs for this AU

Byler

Mike broke up with El because he liked Will and she liked Max and Lucas. It took him a month to finally get the courage to ask him

Will thought he was still dating El cause no one knew they had broken up and almost cussed him out for doing that to his twin sister

They did get together though after Mike frantically explained everything

They are 100% the two that are late to practice for making out, even though practice is literally in Mike’s garage

Help each other with anxiety before gigs

Will stole weed from Jonathan impulsively one time. The two of them being high in Will’s room just staring at each other and trying to poke each other on the nose is something Jonathan wishes he had his phone or camera for so he could make fun of them after

Will is taller and Mike is 100% grumpy about it (he secretly loves it)

(Sadder ones so skip to next ship if you don’t want angst)

Will helps Mike a lot after his parents divorce and it’s clear Ted wants barely anything to do with his older two kids cause he understands that feeling with Lonnie

Will was the only one Mike felt safe enough to go to about his thoughts of hurting or unaliving himself, or the time he did end up self harming after a particularly bad fight with his dad

Elumax

Getting this out of the way, but yes, they all date, you can argue with the wall

Max and Lucas is obvious, they finally stop being on and off after Max wakes up and just stay together (and yes, they get their movie date when Max wakes up)

Max had feelings for El since their sleepover in Season 3. El talks to him first after her breakup with Mike and they decide with Lucas to go for it because they make their own rules

El and Lucas bond while Max is in the coma. Lucas felt a ton of guilt because he thought he was being a bad boyfriend at the time for thinking of El like that. They start dating a month or two after Max and El start.

El steals both of their partners clothes constantly. She has a hoard of their shirts and hoodies in her room at all times

Max likes having El in her lap while Lucas pushes the chair. El worries a lot that it’s too much for him to push, but Max just shrugs and says it’s good exercise for basketball while Lucas rolls his eyes

Lucas lets El doodle on his arms with markers in the school colors before games so he “looks bitchin’”

When Max finds out about Angela, they give El a high five for what she did at Rink-O-Mania, then makes multiple instagram accounts to cyber bully her

Everyone expects Lucas to be the extremely protective one, given his girlfriend is sunshine incarnate and his partner is disabled, except one will filing you with her mind and the other will run you over in his wheelchair

(Angst ones again so skip if you don’t want to)

Max calls them drunk one time and while it’d be one thing if they had been with like Mike or Dustin hanging out, she was completely by herself. Both of them show up to check on them, and it turns out he wanted to see why his mom would use that as an escape and understood after a while.

El gets nightmares a lot about the lab and Brenner, so it’s not uncommon for one or both of them to be woken up to texts saying she’s scared because of it

Lucas often feels very very guilty about Max’s conditions. He feels it’s his fault for not doing more to stop Jason so he could help Max sooner

Duzie

Nerd x Geek what more can I say

Karaoke night dates once a month and they always do Never-ending story

They were actually cabin mates in camp Nowhere because stupid transphobic camp put Dustin with the girls

It’s okay though, they fell in love<3™️

Absolutely precious, the two of them must be protected at all costs.

Dustin gets her into DnD when she moves to Hawkins

Eddie constantly complains about how they get distracted being romantic during missions but also secretly sets up more moments cause it’s cute in a “sickeningly sweet way”

Suzie is the one who takes care of Dustin after top surgery

When they’re older Dustin brings her on stage to propose at one of their concerts🥺

The ring looks like the necklace one of the characters of Neverending Story wears (I saw it once when I was like 6 so it’s a vague memory but like this:)

Her dad doesn’t approve because Dustin is agnostic and trans but they get married anyways

(Only angst one and it’s barely angsty)

Suzie straight up decks a guy when they’re at the pool because he saw Dustin’s top surgery scars and called him a slur. She didn’t even pray for forgiveness after because “I have zero regret and I’d do it again”
