Hi! I'm Kaity B (she/her), a 29-year-old Simmer from the USA, and I'm so excited to share my Pleasantview adventures with you! Whether you're new to The Sims or a long-time fan, this post will give you a warm welcome and a helpful guide to my Simblr.

The Charm of Pleasantview 🏡✨

Pleasantview is a neighborhood filled with intriguing stories and beloved characters. My storytelling picks up right after the scripted events of The Sims 2, which set the stage for all the drama and excitement. If you're new to The Sims 2, these scripted events are pre-set scenarios that create a rich backdrop for your gameplay. Here’s a quick rundown of where things stand and what you can expect in my Pleasantview:

The Lothario Household: Don Lothario is a notorious womanizer caught in a love quadrangle with Cassandra Goth, Nina Caliente, Dina Caliente, and Kaylynn Langerak. His upcoming wedding to Cassandra is full of doubts and complications.

The Goth Family: Mortimer Goth is recovering from his wife's disappearance by dipping his toes back into a committed relationship. His daughter Cassandra is engaged to Don Lothario, and his son Alexander is growing up quickly in a house full of secrets.

The Caliente Sisters: Dina and Nina Caliente have recently arrived in Pleasantview under mysterious circumstances. Dina's aim is to marry rich, while Nina seeks excitement. Their arrival coincides with the disappearance of Bella Goth, adding to the town's intrigue.

The Pleasant Family: Daniel and Mary-Sue Pleasant are struggling with their marriage. Mary-Sue recently caught Daniel cheating with the maid, Kaylynn Langerak. Their twin daughters, Angela and Lilith, are constantly at odds.

The Broke Family: Brandi Broke is dealing with the recent death of her husband, Skip, and the challenges of raising her sons, Dustin and Beau, on her own. An unexpected pregnancy adds to her struggles.

The Dreamer Household: Darren Dreamer is a widower and struggling artist, trying to make ends meet while raising his teenage son, Dirk. He's also harboring a secret crush on Cassandra Goth.

The Burb Family: John and Jennifer Burb have returned to Pleasantview with their daughter Lucy, seeking a fresh start in the town where they grew up.

The Ramirez Family: Checo and Lisa Ramirez have just opened a new furniture store in Pleasantview, hoping to achieve the Simtopia dream while raising their daughter, Tessa.

New neighbors should start with the Lothario Household or Fall 1 to dive right into the action! From there follow my list of the household here or on the main page! Remember to scroll to the bottom as tumblr doesn't post chronologically!

These events are the springboard for all the stories and dramas that unfold in my Pleasantview. Now, let's dive into the details!

My Gameplay Style 🎮

Inspiration & Credit

A heartfelt thanks to @pleasantsims! Your creative flair and stories have reshaped my love for The Sims. I'm here to spread that joy and inspiration further. IYKYK!

Rotational Play

Rotational play is a gameplay style where I switch households every in-game week, giving each household 7 days per season. This way, I can keep their stories fresh and unexpected. Unlike the legacy challenge, where you focus on a single family through multiple generations, rotational play allows you to explore and develop multiple families and their stories simultaneously. This method ensures that every family in Pleasantview gets attention and their stories interweave, creating a dynamic and interconnected neighborhood.

To keep up with all the household stories, I use a detailed tagging system on my blog:

#welcome to pleasantview! - Start here for an overview and general information about my gameplay style.

#pleasantview legacy - Includes every story piece of content for every household.

Household Tags - Follow each family's saga. The tags are listed in the order I rotate households: #the lothario household, #the goth household, etc.

Seasonal Tags - Prefer a seasonal approach? Each tag gathers all events within that time frame across all households: #fall 1, #winter 1, #spring 1, #summer 1. Our neighborhood stories begin in fall 1!

Individual Sim Insights - Deep dives into each Sim's life: #get to know the sim, #meet the neighbors.

Special Moments - Celebrations and cameos: #pleasantview birthdays, #pleasant cameos, #strange cameos.

Recaps and Chronicles - Quick catch-ups on each household's latest season: #lothario recap, #goth recap, etc.

Behind the Scenes - Insights into the creative process: #behind the scenes with kaity b.

Community Hub - Interact, ask questions, and become a part of Pleasantview: #ask kaity b! & #kaity b answers, #kaity b resources, #kaity b reblogs, #kaity b saves for later.

Games and Interactions - Fun activities for neighbors: #hey neighbors, #tag game, #emoji ask games.

This system helps you easily find the content you're interested in and follow the storylines that captivate you the most.

Wants-Based Gameplay

Wants-based gameplay means that my Sims' desires drive their stories. In The Sims 2, Sims have specific wants and fears that influence their behavior and mood. I focus on fulfilling their wants, which adds a layer of depth and unpredictability to their lives. By prioritizing their aspirations and fears, I let autonomy stir up some delightful chaos along the way, making the storytelling more organic and engaging.

The Sims 2 Vibes

I've modded my game to mirror the feel of The Sims 2, including aspirations, hobbies, and those quirky chance cards. Dice rolls and creative twists keep things interesting. All stories kick off post-scripted events. In my neighborhood, Don and Cassandra are married, Dina and Mortimer eloped, and Daniel... well, let's say he's had better days.

transcription

- fell in love with her twin

[dustin]: hey man! boss called you here too?

[wolfgang]: what does it look like to you?

[dustin]: geez, i was just making conversation. bad mood today?

[wolfgang]: sorry, dude. i’m tired. i haven’t been sleeping and i have no clue what the big man wants. i don’t even know who he is... maybe is a woman. i need this job, you know? i have three kids

[dustin]: it’s okay, wolf. i get it. aspen doesn’t let me or angela sleep at night.

[wolfgang]: you should try having three of them crying at the same time. it’s fun.

[beikonsims]

Brandi was very happy to have Dustin close again, even if he moves in to the "other side" of town. Now that the whole feud was over, she knew she will be visiting her son more often.

She also finally got to meet Juliette. When Dustin broke up with Angela, she was worried he will fall in the wrong company and when he kept his new girlfriend a secret for so long, she expected some wild girl. She was pleasantly surprised with her son's fiancée.

Brandi: I have no idea why Dustin kept us apart for so long. You seem like such a lovely young woman, he shouldn't be embarrassed of letting me meet you.

Juliette: That's really sweet, but I can understand him now. You're married to one of the Montys and my family would not be happy about it until just recently.

Tried to make the elder versions of the Newbies, Burbs, and Pleasants. I've always wondered what other people's personal canons were on them, since they've all passed away in TS2.

I've always imagined Bob and Betty went on to live in a retirement home after selling their house in SimLane, because Bob's health rather deteriorated and Betty was just stressed out. Her relationship with Brandi was always challenging because her own mother was tough on her, and she was concerned about Brandi marrying Skip as much as they liked him. Bob died first, and later on, Dustin was born around the same time as Betty's death of a stroke. Shame they never got to meet their grandkids.

For the Burbs, Brad always seemed older and he died after John and Jennifer got engaged. I'm happy to see that Tiffany lived to meet Lucy, as I imagine she'd be pretty old by then. I imagine her as a chainsmoking and sharp-tongued grandma. I like the Early Pleasantview canon of her, moving to the city again and all that.

Jeff and Diane Pleasant, too, apparently lived to see Angela and Lilith. But I imagine they'd be kind of distant to the grandkids. Jeff seemed to be tanner, so I guess they retired in a warmer climate. They died around the same time, but I dunno who'd go first--probably Jeff from his disappointment of not being able to go to Mars.

[smallcatsims]

Daniel Pleasant owns the most profitable coal mine in Veronaview. His wife Mary Sue helps him run it and oversees the distribution and sales of the coal. Now that Mary Sue's parents have moved in with them, she can spend more time at the mining office while they help out around the house.

Angela is the golden child of the family, and knows her first duty is to marry well. She couldn't help falling head over heels for Dustin though. She knows that he is smart and ambitious and deserves a chance to be more than a guttersnipe.

Lilith wants to be an opera singer and marry Dirk Dreamer, both of which would horrify her parents, if they paid any attention to her in the first place.

Daniel and Mary Sue have been in touch with some of the wealthy sims in Veronaville, and want to introduce their daughters to the Monty and Capp heirs. The girls have $10k simoleans each for their dowries, and if Daniel doesn't have a son, Angela and her husband will inherit the manor, mine, and Pleasant fortune! So it shouldn't be too hard to get an introduction for them.

Angela & Dustin - Wedding Day

In 20 years I had never gotten them married and they're my sims otp 😭

[fantomefawn]

Okay… so everyone was very kind and like I’m honestly amazed anyone even saw my little post about the fic and not knowing what i want to do? Like holy cow even @shieldofiron was kind enough to acknowledge it which is wild to me since i basically stalk everything they post on my main account. Anyway that being said… I am going to go the snippet route, cause really its the fuck around and find out urge i get at least once a year to do something a little too impulsive. Like post the fic before my planned posting or like idk chopping off my hair (I never like the chop, its always a bad idea but that never stops the random urge that comes upon me)

I am truly hoping this gets it out of my system.

Anyway tiny snippet, but I am going to warn you, that like i wont be giving out the insane cast list for this fic, but I will say some of it is pure chaos but like workable chaos and not every couple that ends up together i even ship? But yes batshit insane. I am also a die hard obsessed Pride and prejudice fan and know waaaayyyy too much about it. I’ve seen every version that still exists minus the musical… because i know I can’t do it. But i mean I’ve even seen the fucking Mormon version. Which i obviously don’t recommend, the Bollywood version is cute tho. Either way, it was the second chapter book i ever owned and I’ve loved it forever sooo like my boys deserved a good straight up Pride and Prejudice Au. This is like a very little snip, chapter 1 is 9k and chapter 2 is over 11k and I am still working on chapter 3

Forgot to note that because of regency period like social and class systems being so freaking complicated iiii just made it ABO

BT chapter 1 Snippet:

““Angie, Dustin what have I told you about listening at the door?” Steve was incensed as the two kept up their quiet but undoubtedly giddy behavior.

Angela scoffed briefly at him and swatted back at his hand before cheerfully responding,

“Who cares about that Stevie? Someone, an Alpha, has finally rented Cherry Lane!”

Dustin who was barely older than Angela and more like her shadow immediately piped in,

“Ms. Cunningham from the West, she has 5,000 a year!” Steve let go of Angela’s skirt in shock.

“Really?” Steve couldn’t help himself as tried to look over the two of them to see his parents talking. The pair quietly squealing in unison that she was single made him give way back into an amused smirk.

“Who’s single?”

Steven grinned down at Robin who had come around the corner at his side before turning his face back toward his parents and whispering to her,

“A Ms. Cunningham apparently.” Steve was annoyed and amused in equal measure as Dustin shushed him and rolled his eyes at Robin who gave him a look of commiseration.

“Mr. Harrington, you must go and visit her. Welcome her into the neighborhood.”

The children all watched as their father seemed to move in near circles around his wife whilst asking her,

“How can it possibly affect them if I go and visit Ms. Cunningham?” They all heard rather than see their mother stamping her foot.

“How can you possibly be so tiresome and annoying? I’m hoping she might marry one of them. I sincerely doubt I could have been all that much clearer about it especially since this isn’t the first conversation, we are having about this.” Mr. Harrington didn’t even make direct eye contact with his wife, but he did arch his brow in her direction.”

Pleasantview Community News

Vol 1

A newsletter bringing you the latest in news about our neighborhood Pleasantview! We are starting this off with a historical overview of our neighbors and who they are.

Oldies

A beloved old couple, Coral and Herb raised Mary Sue Pleasant into the wonderful driven woman she is today. They are looking forward to spending their retirement getting to know their grandchildren and spending time with their daughter.

Burbs

Jenny is the sister of Daniel Pleasant, a woman with a workaholic drive. John is more than happy to stand by her side and support her with all his heart. Their little daughter Lucy hasn't decided what she wants in the world yet, but is looking forward to what she finds in Pleasantview.

Broke

Brandi Broke is the mother of Dustin and Beau. A friend of Darren Dreamer's, she had been happy in her marriage with Skip before his tragic pool accident. Brandi is devoted to her children and wants to give them the best that she can, but even before Skip died the family was poor. Brandi has found herself unable to work, as she has to look after her toddler Beau, leaving teenage Dustin as the sole bread winner of the family. He's found work as a runner for a local gang, but dreams of something larger than a life of crime, more secure. Angela Pleasant, his girlfriend, has all the luxuries he dreams of, and believes if a good girl like her could love a bad boy like him, it may just be possible.

Goth

The founding family of Pleasantview, the Goth family is an ancient lineage steeped in wealth. They have always experienced life closer to southern gothic horror than others may imagine, with mad men, tragic deaths, and more plaguing their history. Mortimer himself was a mad scientist, and a successful one. He married the beautiful Bella, and had two children with her, Alexander and Cassandra. The horrors that stalk the family struck again however, with Bella vanishing and leaving the family in their grief. Cassandra found herself dreaming of a true love that would sweep her away, and thought she found it in Don Lothario, the town's cassanova. They even became engaged! Alexander has clung tightly to his father as his closest friend in his childhood, and watches with caution as Dina Caliente courts his father for possible marriage.

Lothario

A man of pleasure, Don has two goals in life: love as many women as possible, and be admired as a musician. He has successfully seduced his neighbors, the Caliente sisters Dina and Nina, his maid Kaylynn Langerak, and the daughter of the Goth family, Cassandra. Sure Cassandra is far more serious about their relationship than he cares for, but he's sure he can handle it!

Caliente

The mysterious and beautiful Caliente sisters! Both are adoring of Don's love making skills. Nina is more than happy with their relationship as is, she doesn't want to be serious anymore than he does! As long as he gives her enough love she's happy to let him be and focus on her dreams of being a star athlete. Dina of course has always been more monetary focused. Her marriage to Michael Bachelor certainly helped set the pair up with their current lifestyle, but his death has her hunting again. Luckily she knew Michael's sister Bella, and about the Goth family through her. With Bella gone, Dina has her eyes set on a particularly large catch. Don is a far better lover, but Mortimer Goth is where the money's at.

Dreamer

Darren Dreamer is a creative man with big dreams. With his wife Darleen he had his son Dirk. It was a tragedy when his wife died a couple years ago. Slowly they've moved on from there. Darren fell in love with Cassandra Goth, though Cassandra hasn't noticed it, and has been close with Brandi Broke as they shared plans for how to work on a small budget. The family is struggling. Dirk found an escape from this in Lilith Pleasant. She is struggling just as much with life as Dirk is, but together they have found sweet moments of reprieve.

Pleasant

Mary Sue and Daniel Pleasant married some time ago and had baby twin girls. At the start of their relationship, Mary Sue and Daniel were madly in love. Daniel swept Mary Sue away in a wave of passion, and Mary Sue's melting under his attention was addicting. Of course, that changed when the twins were born, and they had to focus on the world beyond each other. It was clear to Mary Sue and Daniel that Angela was a good girl, and Lilith...was not. Of course they didn't do anything bad, they aren't terrible people or anything. They simply left Lilith mostly to herself, instead pouring their hopes and love onto Angela alone.

Mary Sue grew more distant as she became more and more involved with her career, working towards the coveted position of a board holder, while Daniel grew bored and frustrated from his wife always being busy. Daniel turned to the family maid, Kaylynn Langerak, to romance, and enjoy. It was easy to be happy when he could make Kaylynn forget her work under his touch, just like Mary Sue used to when they were younger.

Angela found a reprieve from the expectations of perfection her parents unknowingly placed on her in bad boy Dustin. She does her best to keep Dustin clear of her family, she needs to keep her good girl image up after all. Lilith is bitter from years of her parents favoring her sister over her, and Angela picking on her and claiming everything Lilith tries to claim. She dreams of a life far from her family, perhaps as a chef of some sort. Dirk Dreamer was the first person she can remember to look at her and really see her, Lilith, and not just a poor copy of her sister.

M WHAT THE FUCK

the gasp i just gasped is INSANE

i can't even bother to start the insights from the start because WHAT WAS THAT ENDING I AM LITERALLY HYPERVENTILATING RN !!!!

honestly i felt the entire chapter to my core, everything's going wrong and it's falling apart, felt it in my gut. i can't believe the fallout dustin and bug are having. it's just, so. sad. i feel like i was ready for everything BUT that.

and bug deserves to lose it genuinely, all this time she's been so so considerate for everything and everyone, girl's bound to lose it at some point. darling lucas is kind of the only one who's appreciating her rn :(

and STEVE OH MY GODDDDDD SIR IK YOU HAVE SEVERE ABANDONMENT ISSUES AND SHE DOES TOO BUT HEAR HER OUT SIR PLS & that argument was soooo abrupt and sudden i did NOT see that coming like steve cmon fight tmr she's having the worst day rn :(

AND FUCKASS JONATHAN DUDE LITERALLY EITHER BE SOBER AND CALL OR JUST DONT AT ALL WTAF WAS THAT PISSED ME TF OFF LIKE STFUUUUUUUUUU

(ik what you're doing m, this is aaaallllll a set up for her to be a target for vecna, I KNOW IT I FEEL IT)

okay all my pent up feelings are now out (not really) so aside from that. the letter from el was THE cutest thing ever like omg and i can't wait to see her interact with eddie, will be a treat for sure.

and i think i might not like season 4 all that much :D SO MUCH GOING ON PLS CUT POOR BUG SOME SLACK

anyway, that was all for insights today, i am NOT handling it well. will be screaming till the next chapter comes out.

thanks for your service, love you <3

AGAIN I APOLOGIZE FOR THE ENDING IT TRULY WASNT MY PLANTO DROP ALL THE FIGHTING IN ONE CHAP BUT THEN I REALIZED THERES ZERO ROOM ANYWHERE ELSE LMAO

dustin and bug fighting ,,, it hurts me too. but dustins character changes so much in season 4 and i had to include it because i want my own explanation for it tbh. he becomes so much more aggressive :((( my baby. and it was SO refreshing writing bug as more angry this season. she does deserve to lose it, i support her. so having her yell at dustin, defend herself against steve, and hang up on jon is GROWTH !!!

lucas <3333333 this seasons hero honestly

steves abandonment issues vs bugs is sooooo funny to me like guys u both hate being left alone pls recognize this and get married smh. and i wanted the argument to be slightly abrupt because theyre nearing graduation and never once discussed what would come next. the consequences of that speak for itself with the fight. steve just assumed hed move in with bug (which is a HUGE leap) while bug just ... didnt think about it (which is also a huge leap). both of them are upset and hurt and have the right ideas, just horrible ways of communicating them.

jon ,,, oh my dear baby jon. the phone call was the scene ive had planned since season 1 :) fun come home fact: the phone call, camera scene from season 1, and the iconic come home scene yall will get later were all planned before the story even began. they inspired me to write come home.

els letter !!! i felt cheesy starting the season with that, but it honestly felt so fitting. it was interesting writing from els pov with the way she speaks. she doesnt ever use conjunctions and she has a weird way of expressing emotions that i loved toying with !! i also wanted to show how el feels comfortable enough being vulnerable with bug by telling her about angela and the bullying (while hiding it from mike) so ! cute lil letter it was

AND I LOVE U TOO !!

Chapter 9

The End of an Era

Welcome back to the Duchelli household, where we are hurtling towards the final stretches of our first generation.

I’m not sure what is going on here, but I think Johnny is showing off some yoga moves. On the sidewalk. To a stray cat.

His daughter Jodi is pretending she doesn’t know him in the background.

To increase the household income enough to send Cora off to university, everyone is working hard. On top of her criminal activities, Alex has taking up writing a few books and painting.

Cora is still single and has no real friends, so for Love Day, she gives a rose to her beloved sister.

Brielle and Shawn used Love Day to finally make it official. No one was surprised, as they have been together for a while.

Another visitor dropping by is one of Brie’s best friends, Ariana Broke. She’s one of Angela and Dustin Broke’s twin daughters.

This is Adriana, the other twin. Both twins are very close with Brie.

Cora has neither the time nor inclination for making friends. It’s all about homework.

After fulfilling his aspiration to be the greatest bodybuilder ever, Don is back to being a serial romantic. He still has strong opinions on cheating, and most of the women closer to his age are married, so the dating pool is honestly a little sparse. Therefore, he invites out the somewhat younger Evie Delgato.

Evie tells Don all about her college, and mentions how she isn’t planning on settling down in a serious relationship until she gets her career started, so she’s open to just having some fun.

And so, after “having some fun” in a back room of the bar…

… Don kisses Evie goodbye before she heads back to her dorm.

Cora has gotten a job as a barista, which means she has to get up insanely early. So she’s always tired and in a bad mood. Late night studying does not work well with 5 AM workdays.

After work and a nap, she barely has time to fall asleep in her breakfast before going to school.

Her barista job, however, has given her a newfound appreciation for coffee, and she manages to talk her parents into letting her buy a fancy coffee maker at home.

Much better! Hopefully this’ll get her up in the morning.

While out on the town one day, Don hears someone cry in the ladies room. Out comes Morgan Fyres-Munch. Don asks her what is wrong, and she tells him that her and Wolfgang’s marriage has been rocky for a while, due to the stress of them living with her aging parents, and he finally had enough and left her.

Always the gentleman, Don cheers Morgan up and invites her to join him for coffee.

They hit it off immediately, and Don does his best to make Morgan feel better about herself.

It doesn’t take long before Morgan starts flirting back.

And to no one’s surprise, they end up in a back room.

Cora is really doing nothing but studying. She’s trying to get accepted into the distinguished degree in Physics at Foxbury University, and that takes hard work.

One evening, the girls are given school projects as usual, and Brie brings, besides one of the Broke twins, this guy.

His name is Aidan, and it turns out he’s a bit of a nerdy loner. Maybe Brie brought him because he reminds her of Cora. They immediately bond over robots.

“Alex, babe, will you still love me when I’m old and wrinkly?”

“Of course, honey.”

And so, Don is the first member of the family to hit old age.

Cora, would it kill you to leave the voidcritters alone and attend your father’s birthday? Sheesh. Even Christie from his fitness club is more excited than you.

Alien Invasion: Family trees 25 years in

It's been 25 years since the invasion of Pleasantview and Strangetown started. Since Tycho is technically born in-game and he had a baby with Lucy Burb, the first born in-game generation is now complete for my alien invasion hood!

PT was really busy early on, but his jobs have slowed down lately. The rule was to only summon him when a human man rolled a want for a baby. Among his kids are Tycho, Vidcund Jr., Loki's twins Atom and Ceres and their younger sister Elektra (number 7 in the row), and finally John Burbs 3 alien kids Jane, Joe and Jack. Tycho already has a child of his own, little Joule with Lucy Burb.

Stella has a relatively modest number of kids at 4. Her eldest, Aster (pictured second), was born from her short-lived marriage to Cassandra Goth, and Deneb (pictured first) was born about a year after, from the affair she had with Darren that ended that marriage. She has two girls from her marriage to Vidcund: Violet and Cundy Sinclair Nova.

Chloe is happily married to Ripp, and has three children with him: Melanie, Bruno and Flavio. Outside of her marriage, she has three more: Azzura Goth, Alexander's daughter, Junior Oldie, Herb's son, and Rina Singles, the daughter she had with Nina. Only Junior and Rina have any alien DNA, although it remains unexpressed in Junior.

Lola has only two kids, Sitara and Parveen Loner in a previous marriage to Ajay. Sitara, the younger of the two, possesses recessive alien genes.

Jill has 3 kids, 2 with her longtime fiancé Buck: Jeff and Jess. Additionally, she has a toddler age son with Beau: Bill Broke. Jess has her grandfather's green skin, and Bill has latent alien DNA.

Johnny has done one hell of a job, with no fewer than 9 children. From eldest to youngest, we have Gertrude Nigmos, with the late Ophelia, Esmeralda Broke with Dustin, Diana and Dzvezda Smith with Dirk, Beelzebub Pleasant with Lilith, Justina Smith with Dina, twins Arma and Colt Grunt with Tank and finally baby Eric Davis with Johnny's most recent ex-husband Aldric. Of these, Justina is homozygous for alien genes, making her the first full blood alien to be born in the neighborhood.

Dina has a modest 4 children. Her eldest two are the twins Dino and Regina Goth with Mortimer, followed by her son Michael with her wife Angela. Finally, she had Justina with Johnny, as previously mentioned. Michael has latent alien genes.

Unfortunately, Nina and her husband Don passed away when a cockroach-borne epidemic swept SimCity. With him, she had two daughters called Jezebel and Carmen Lothario. Outside of her marriage, she had 5 more kids: Laser Grunt with Buzz, Rina Singles with Chloe, Paul Curious with Vidcund, Nino Pleasant with Daniel and Ulysses Beaker with Circe. Of these, Rina and Ulysses have alien skin, and Nino has recessive alien genes.

In total, this means the next generation consists of no fewer than 42 sims. 24 of those have alien skin, with one of them being a full alien. 5 sims have recessive alien genes, and 13 are fully human.

For the upcoming generation, I will be focusing on pairing off the half-alien offspring with each other. Hopefully, by the next generation we will have arrived at the final stage of the alien invasion, and we have at least one fully viable court consisting of a queen and several drones, each fully alien.

Chaotic stranger things headcanons:

-Will has dabbled in poetry, but he’s really bad at it. Even Jonathan is like “hey Bud, super proud of you but never show this to anyone”

-Eleven is told once that hellfire is an actual cult and she just accepts that her boyfriend is a part of it

-Dustin starts non-ironically keeping a pet rock because he’s still traumatized about Dart. He names his rock something equally nerdy and obscure that nobody else thinks is funny, except Argyle. He doesn’t get the reference, but he loves it nonetheless

-Once on a rainy day, Steve and Robin learn the entire choreography to Thriller by Michael Jackson. It was Steve’s idea.

-Nancy somehow gets stuck with a dog. Maybe she found it, or was given it, or whatever, and she is so annoyed at first. But within about two weeks she becomes so loyal to the dog that it ends up coming with her literally everywhere. Robin desperately wants to name him “Peanut Butter” but Nancy refuses and names him “Fred” instead. Literally everyone else calls him Peanut Butter anyway

-Max and Eleven ruin Angela’s life, Mean Girls style. Max is the mastermind, but Erica decides she wants in after their pathetic attempt at a prank call.

-Mike finds Will’s really bad poetry and asks if he can use it to write a song for Eleven’s birthday. Will is understandably angry at first, but then Mike says “your poetry is actually really good” and it makes Will’s lil gay heart flutter. Byler headcanon is Mike ends up dedicating the song to Will instead after Jonathan yells at Mike and tells him to stop being so oblivious.

-Robin eventually comes out to the gang while they’re all high, and Nancy/Jonathan/Steve/Argyle are convinced they’re all gay in their paranoid state. After they sober up, Nancy/Jonathan/Steve are like “wow ha ha that was really crazy.” Argyle, who’s been open to being queer his whole life, thinks it’s so funny he laughs about it every time he sees them for like a week. Finally, they ask him what’s so funny, and he just says something like “you’ll figure it out someday my dudes”

-Pretty much everyone has a full on proper gay crisis

-Lucas and Dustin start a radio show that barely anyone listens to, except Steve (who keeps up with every episode). They ask Steve to be on once and he acts like he’s been invited to be a guest on Jimmy Fallon

-Argyle ends up accidentally famous. A household name. Even though everyone knows who he is, he lives his life the exact same way and barely notices a difference

-Joyce and Hopper decide to elope in Vegas, but once they get there they realize they want to be at home with the family. On their way out, they run into Steve and Robin at a casino, pretending it’s their honeymoon to get free drinks. Max is at the slot machines, and Argyle is eating lobster in the corner. Will gets mistaken for one of the stars currently doing residency a la the Lizzie McGuire movie, so him, Mike, and Lucas end up backstage and meet the actual singer back there. Dustin goes full undercover and pretends to be a bodyguard, not that anybody believes him or cares. Nobody tells him that Eleven is actually the one making sure nobody gets to the boys. Jonathan and Nancy were the ones who drove, and they are staying at a bed and breakfast. Joyce and Hopper decide to make lemonade from lemons and go through with getting married since everyone is there anyway.

-Murray gets so mad he wasn’t invited to the wedding that he sends them a toaster as a wedding gift every month until the end of time. Joyce and Hopper beg him to stop, but he refuses. After a while even the local thrift store tells Joyce they won’t accept any more toasters from her.

(update: I have since made a part two and part three)

on confusing relationships, does Danika know about what happened between her mom and aunt, if she even knows she has an aunt and cousin out there, I would've thought the other second-gen pleasant would shown up during the high school years.

OMG hAHAH yes!

That's the main reason she doesn't like her father and she's now making amend with her mom. She knows everything. I imagine that she found out when she was a teen, since she knew her mother had a twin sister that she's never met before.

I imagine her doing some digging and finding out on her own and confronting her parents about it! Luckily she went to college right after and didn't need to look at her parents' face.

Fun fact: Dustin and Angela got back together through MCCC and I think they had another kid lmao

So yeah, the pleasants are a mess!

I think Dirk got married to Miko Ojo!

Juliette was looking forward to being a sweet wife and mother, but she definitely wasn't going to be a housewife and take care of the house. Thankfully, every other Capp lady in town could recommend a butler to help her.

She didn't wait long to start bringing up their wedding and rushing Dustin. She didn't want to wait for Romeo and Angela to have their happy little family before them. Dustin didn't mind having the wedding as soon as possible, to establish himself as part of the Capp family. He just wasn't in a rush for parenthood and knew Juliette will be unstoppable once they're married.

She wanted to have children, of course. But she still wasn't going to just sit there and look pretty. She wanted to apply and started working as a teacher, but the Capp reputation reaches far and the only offer she could find already positioned her as a principal.
