↳Re-Introducing Stranger Things Oc: Benjamin Hopper Series: An 80s Mixtape: Book One: Crazy Train [Revamped Chapter One coming soon!]

Summary:

Benjamin Lee Hopper was born on July 4th,1967. He was a product of a one-night stand between a woman named Ellen and his father Jim Hopper. He first met his dad when he was only two weeks old after being left on his dad's front porch with a note from his mother claiming he didn’t want him.

As Ben got older, he started having weird dreams, most of the time it would have been shrugged off by his dad and then stepmother Diane as it being a normal child having vivid dreams. But then the dreams started turning into nightmares right before his little sister Sarah got sick. His parents couldn’t pay much attention to Ben at that point since they were focused on trying to get Sarah well, but then she ended up dying. 

The nightmares had gotten worse after that. It ended up getting to the point where one terrifying night on September 7th,1979 his dad rushed him to the doctor to help get rid of them. 

It had worked for a while but years later, in 1983, Ben's dreams were back. He was dreaming of a girl in a hospital gown and then Will screaming right before he went missing. 

Every year after that… the dreams would get worse and worse, with different monsters and threats to his friends and family.

Top five moments in movies/shows that made you go “oh, this non-explicitly-queer character is NOT straight”. 🤭

this is so late oops

homoerotic broken bottle threatening between eddie and steve in stranger things. already hced steve as bi but that cemented it for me. and honestly, eddie was never straight in my mind lmao

stiles stilinski joking with scott about finding him hot, Biles, danny volunteering to sleep with him then being disappointed when he says he's joking - stiles is bisexual and if jeff davis wasn't a coward they would have confirmed that shit

spencer reid during the episode where he met up with an old friend in new orleans and the vibes.... those two definitely hooked up in the past. then i learned he originally meant to be explicitly bi and i was like, yeah, i fucking thought so

fatin from the wilds. there is nothing straight about the way she looks at leah, especially in season 2. that is a girl in love

isaac lahey dancing with erica and jackson in teen wolf s2? mans was enjoying it too much to be straight

he wasn’t a stranger to pain. 

split lips, broken nose, bruised eyes. 

he could have run this town red with the amount of blood he’s spilled over the years. maybe even won a few awards or two – “#1 punching bag in Hawkins, Indiana”. he liked to think it made him humble. he could even dare to say a better person. ever since Jonathan had landed that first blow against his cheek, it felt like it had knocked a heavy dose of reality into him.

so no, he wasn’t a stranger to pain. it was a friendly acquaintance of his. 

he endured. he survived.

but now watching the brunette turn her back to him and walk away, he felt like the world beneath him was opening and about to suck him up completely. 

flashbacks to being in a tight bathroom with the too bright lights glaring down on them. he could smell nancy’s shampoo, which should have smelt home and first love. only now it smelt like strawberries and heartache. puppy dog eyes staring up at him with resentment and regret, words echoing against the walls. the same walls that felt like they were closing in around them, making the space seem even tighter. 

bullshitbullshitbullshitbullshitbullshitbullshitbullshitbullshitbullshitbullshitbullshitbullshitbullshitbullshitbullshitbullshitbullshit.

the pain of knuckles against flesh didn’t hurt as much. hell, he couldn’t honestly say it still didn’t. if the ache in his chest was anything to go by. he wanted to call out to her, but he stayed silent. he knew she would turn around. she always did. no matter how much he pretended he didn’t see her eyes resting on him. every time he would sneak a glance at her, she was quickly looking away. if she turned around, there was an expectation. apologize.

he kept telling himself she deserved more than ‘i’m sorry’. as if she needed some grand gesture to make everything right. 

'when did you become such a coward, Steve Harrington?’

if only he could tell her about the crumpled-up camp photo he keeps hidden away in his top desk drawer. how he pulls it out during his worst days. when things felt hopeless. when Nancy broke his heart. hell, even before that. and when he lay in his room late at night, locked in those summer memories, he'll say sorry in his head over and over. filled with regret and wishing for things he doesn’t deserve.

𝐖𝐇𝐎: steve harrington & jackie burkhart ( @itsburkhart​ ) 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓: steve harrington learns all of the midwest is the same, except wisconsin is way colder. 𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄: the hub, point place, wisconsin, 3:45 PM, october 1977

steve had been the king of his small indiana town before his dad’s car dealership filed for bankruptcy, and they had to move to an even smaller town in wisconsin. steve didn’t understand what about wisconsin would make the business flourish, but it wasn’t like he had much say in the matter. before he knew it they were packing up everything steve had ever known and headed for america’s dairyland. a new town meant new friends, a new school, and having to build up his social prestige all around. steve wondered if they even had a swim team in wisconsin. the harringtons arrived in point place on a tuesday afternoon and were unloaded and settled into their new home by dinner time thanks to the hoards of movers that his miraculously-still-wealthy parents hired.

but buddy and charity harrington’s only son was nowhere to be found while they unloaded. steve had taken it upon himself to get the lay of the land, get some kind of upper hand before his first day. he walked to the center of town, stopping in some place called the hub. he was pleasantly surprised that people his age seemed to scatter the tables, at least this place wasn’t full of geezers. he played it casual, combing a hand through his hair as he walked over to the one of the gaming machines. despite his best efforts, it was pretty obvious he was sizing up the place before he pulled up a chair and straddled it backwards at a table next to the pretty girl with even nicer hair. “hey uh....” despite his best efforts, steve forgot his opener. he laughed it off and tried to look gorgeous as he raked a hand through his hair again. steve composed himself the charmingly introduced, “i’m steve, just moved.” he threw his arms over the back of the hair and gestured vaguely to this space, “this the local hang out?”

@broodingmystery

Eddie was glad to have the trailer to himself for the night, since he felt bad that they were always spending their time together at Steve's. While he didn't think that Steve seemed to mind, he wanted them to have a change of scenery every now and again. So when his uncle had said that he was going out for the night, he had been quick to invite Steve over, wasting no time in stripping both of them down to their boxers and climbing on top of Steve on the floor. "Fuck i've missed you," he whispered between kisses, rocking against him as the other cupped his ass, "glad we managed to find some alone time though."

September’s Stobin Extravaganza - day 12 - Codependent💈

@sept-stobin-extravaganza

[hephaestn]

It’s been a long time since Steve left Hawkins behind, since he left the summer of 1985 tightly locked in a corner of his mind.

He was happy in New York City, loved his apartment with Robin, loved the friends he had made here, breathed and exhaled warmth for this city which had so caringly taken him in. But, he felt hollow some days, especially the days where that lock would loosen and the memories would come back.

They were happy memories, for the most part. He cherished those ones, the ones which still made him smile to himself in the middle of the street. Though, when the bad ones hit, it was still unbearable.

He couldn’t think of Billy, of the way he could still remember the taste of his lips, the shape of his waist underneath his hand. He couldn’t think of how Billy left him one night with only a note to remember him by.

I had to. I’m sorry.

Those five words were still imprinted in Steve’s mind, forever echoing even after being torn apart and thrown into the trash that very morning.

Steve doesn’t really know why today his thoughts have traveled back in time to sunny days and endless love making nights. He needs a distraction, whichever it might be.

That’s why he accepts to join Robin and her coworkers for dinner. They’ve chosen a tiny place which had just recently opened in Greenwich Village. It’s cozy; wooden furniture and fairy lights, black leather chairs and artsy painted walls. Steve likes it, feels calm in it.

All of Robin’s coworkers are nice, they keep up the conversation, always making sure Steve feels included, which he greatly appreciates. Dinner is incredible, probably one of the most tasteful meals he’s had in… years.

As a starter the waiter brings out an assortment of bruchette, each one topped by ingredients from all the parts of the world; Italy, Greece, Mexico, Thailand, Morocco. Steve can’t help but lick his fingers after each bite.

Main course is hearty; a fresh sea urchin pasta. It tastes like the sea, like the infinite summers he’d spend as a child in Positano with his parents.

They get asked if they’d like a second course which everyone at the table is quick to deny since they’re all full and ready to leave some room for dessert. The waiter tells them the last course and liquors will be presented to them by the chef which lifts whispers of curiosity amongst them all.

Steve is enjoying himself, laughing with Robin as she goes into extreme detail about her last failed date night. The thoughts have gone away, he’s free of them again, for a while at least. Until he sees him—white chef jacket, tight around his arms, his hair is tightly pulled back, leaving his face to shine under the warm light of the restaurant.

Steve’s vision goes blurry for a second, disconcerted by the shock, by the confusion of if this is really happening or not.

“Robin,” Billy says, and there’s a long pause. “Steve.”

He can feel Robin’s eyes on him, Billy’s eyes on him, but he can’t look at either of them, instead he buries his face in the glass of wine in front of him. The world seems to be crumbling around him, every person becoming faceless, every light in the room becoming distorted. His heart is pounding incessantly, looking for a way out of his chest.

Steve doesn’t really know how or why he does it but he looks up and meets Billy’s gaze. And, there’s something in his eyes, a mix of sorrow and longing Steve wasn’t prepared to face.

“So, uh.” Billy clears his throat. “Here we have, the Sailing Lovers. Eclair filled with a rose and elderberry crème pat with a glaze of Madagascar vanilla bean, accompanied by an Amaretto liqueur.”

Steve is entranced as Billy explains dessert, too in his own mind to notice the glisten in Billy’s eyes as he makes his way back into the kitchen.
