#hand me my shovel i'm going in

[inkshine]

Tonight I was walking while listening to "Hand Me My Shovel, I'm Going In!" and saw a single discarded gay man pride flag sitting in the shadows and it felt weirdly appropriate considering how a massive chunk of Will Wood's fanbase is lgbt. the gods sent me a sign. Listen to Will Wood, be gay. Lurk ominously in the shadows to scare homophobes.

I can't be the only one

constantly thinking about how Ace is framed as a "better" or "ideal" version of Rimmer but it's a version of him that is ultimately doomed to sacrifice his life over and over again, like the universe had decided that the best thing he can do is die for other people instead of getting to live his life

and the narrative frames this as a good thing

ALSO!!!! "hand me my shovel, i'm going in!"?????? heLLO? love that 🫶

okay this one is SO MUCH FUN once I've gotten through at least one Big WIP (either gravity or cheerscoops fake dating) I'm definitely coming back to focus on this one. The title comes from the song of the same name by Will Wood and the Tapeworms!

The concept for this AU is that Hawkins (circa 1986) is under attack from a local serial killer, but they have absolutely no idea. Why not? Because Eddie Munson, local necromancer, keeps resurrecting the victims before they're found and reported as dead. This is staying under wraps for now, as all the victims are people generally ignored by society; people from the trailer park, the local drunks, the disenfranchised. People who, post-revival, will generally chalk the whole thing up to a hallucination or a bad dream, but even if they did tell someone it's not like anyone would believe them.

Eddie, meanwhile, is growing increasingly frustrated with the fact no one he revives can remember anything about who did this to them. They remember enough to know it was a violent death (although Eddie already knows that from the state he finds their bodies in), but their memories are too fuzzy to know who did it - and memories of dying and being brought back fade pretty quickly, as a general rule. Eddie doesn't make any headway on figuring out who the culprit is until he brings back the killer's latest victim: Steve Harrington.

Upon being revived, Steve's immediate reaction is "why the fuck is Eddie Munson here, what the fuck is going on and also I'm pretty sure I died for a second there?" in that order. Upon explaining the situation, Steve agrees to help Eddie find who's responsible for these killings and do something about it.

This is kind of an S4 replacement/canon divergence in that Upside Down Shit has been happening since '83, but also it's very much not in that the Upside Down works differently here and things happened differently to how they did in canon (there's almost no government presence in this AU, for example). It's essentially purgatory/the halfway dimension between our world and the afterlife, so Will and El both have their own magical bullshit going on. Think of it as them being sorcerers (innate aptitude for magic) and Eddie being a wizard (learned magical abilities), yknow?

Send me an ask about my WIPs!

person: are you okay?

me, digging my own grave: what makes you say that

Took me very long in life to realize that when an article about anxiety or whatever says "listening to relaxing music helps :)" it means music that's relaxing to YOU. Not just the usual slow and calm and soft relaxation music. This whole time I was wondering why listening to those didn't do anything, it's because they're not what I personally find relaxing!!

Turns out, if your favorite musician screaming moaning and crying in your ears is what you find relaxing, that's what you should listen to when panicking.

I showed my 10 year old brother some of his songs and he says he likes them. I showed him:

I/me/myself

Cotards solution (or the murder song as he calls it)

Yes to err is human

6up5oh (or as he calls it, "the one where will wood says skibidi")

Hand me my shovel (he calls it the detective song)

Dr sunshine (he went on a rant about how much he hates fnaf security breach?)

I wanna know what he calls the rest of them

Hi, I would love to ask more in the "ask blog", I just need to know, what are the current events that are going on?

Are they still on the plot on St Valentin, or is the theme with Harry the main conflict?

the main theme in the blog is whatever you ask about ! that do be how it works

If I ever have any children (unlikely tbh) I'll feel bad for needing to subject them to the time-honored tradition of "hearing songs your parents grew up with"

"Oh my gosh sweetie, I loved this song when I was your age!"

MY HEART WAS STOLEN BY A BLIND PICKPOCKET IN THE SUMMER OF 2012 AND I NEVER EVEN SAW HER FACE-

I accidentally sent myself on a spiral of going insane about Burn The Ballroom because of that song, and now I'm deranged.

They could never make me hate uu FLondon.

anyone else ever get that feeling where you're listening to a song you like and maybe you've liked for years and then you realize the meaning like the actual meaning or it has a new meaning for you personally and it just clicks and you feel a wee bit silly for not getting it sooner but that's kinda not the point because holy shit the meaning behind that song
