America: So, Peter gets to hang out with Tony in the lab…

Stephen: Yes

America: The place where it's “so dangerous, you might want to duck and cover America!”

Stephen: That's correct..

America, muttering to herself in sarcastically: …clearly I'm not the favorite then

Peter, shouting from the other room : I’ve been dead before, you haven't!

Made a post about Eddie's mother and now this is happening apparently | now also on ao3 as a multi chapter fic

Two years after Eddie discovered the identity of his mother, Nancy Wheeler arrives at Hawkins High. She's still tiny – comparable to Eddie when he was fourteen and had yet to hit his growth spurt – and she's practically glued to this tall ginger girl with thick glasses at all times.

Eddie can't help but look at her whenever they cross paths, and it doesn't take long before he has to draw the disillusioned conclusion that the two of them couldn't possibly be more different from each other. She's nothing like Eddie, with his perpetually loud and boisterous presence, but rather the kind of girl who's always quietly giggling with her friend in a corner of the cafeteria or in the library doing homework. She's very pretty and Eddie strongly suspects she could easily be hanging out with the popular crowd, if she wanted to – he sees how certain guys look at her. But she doesn't seem too interested in any of that, rather sticking with her nerdy friend and dedicating her time to the kind of extracurriculars that ambitious girls are supposed to do.

'Eddie! Hey, Eddie! Munson!'

Jeff has to snap his fingers in front of Eddie's face before he finally gets his attention.

'What?' Eddie startles.

'I've been talking to you for like, the past ten minutes. What the hell can be more important to you than the plot of The death of Captain Marvel?'

Eddie has to muster all his self-restraint to not look over Jeff's shoulder across the cafeteria to where Nancy Wheeler and her friend are sitting two tables over. But alas, he is not exactly known for his vast amounts of self-restraint.

Jeff follows his gaze and gasps.

'Nancy Wheeler?' he hisses emphatically under his breath, leaning closer towards Eddie. 'Dude, are you kidding me?'

'Jeff,' Eddie says, flatly, to stop him.

But Jeff marches on. 'The jocks won't stop talking about her, man! Don't you dare become like that, you –'

'Ew,' is all Eddie has to say to that. 'Dude, you are so wrong, it's not even funny.'

Jeff risks another glance over his shoulder.

'Her friend is cute,' he says.

'Wasn't looking at her friend either,' Eddie answers, accompanying his words with an eye-roll.

A smile crosses over Jeff's face. 'Good,' he establishes.

Luckily, if there's anything Eddie is good at, it's to take an opportunity when he sees one: he latches onto this fascinating piece of information and spends the rest of their lunch break teasing Jeff relentlessly about his little crush on a certain freckled freshman.

He's pretty sure that Jeff is way too shy to ever ask any girl out – and even though Eddie might be pretty damn stupid, he's not exactly stupid enough to meddle in this one. That'd be a recipe for a disaster of boundless extent.

He can't help but wonder what it'd be like, though. He knows it's an utterly useless daydream in multiple aspects, the most important one being the way he sees Barbara Holland looking at Nancy. It easily betrays to him that the chances are very slim that Jeff would be her type in any way. But he still can't stop imagining what his life could be like if Jeff and Barbara were dating. He imagines the four of them hanging out together. He imagines getting to know Nancy, really getting to know her. He imagines the two of them seeking out each other's company whenever their two best friends would be doing stupid date stuff. They'd become fast friends, even though they'd seem like an unlikely pair; they'd simply have this instant familiarity around each other, connect like they were always meant to be bound to each other in some kind of way, despite all their differences. He'd come to her house all the time, get to know her - his - family, learn all about her secrets, her hopes and dreams... She'd joke about Eddie having become like an older brother to her and he'd get just as close to Mike and baby Holly... Maybe he'd even grow closer to Karen. She'd take him under her wing, make him homemade cookies like she's done for all her other kids, and give him a look, every now and then, that told him that she knew who he was, and that she was sorry...

He knows it's not good for him to lose himself in those kind of daydreams. He's always been a big daydreamer, but this one is becoming an obsession that borders on being unhealthy. More often than not, he'll zone out in class losing himself in scenarios where he's somehow a part of the family in the big house in Maple Street. Not only does it feel ungrateful towards Uncle Wayne and is it ruining his already questionable grades, it's also a special kind of torture for himself, to be dedicating so much of his time inserting himself into a family that will never actually be his.

'You're Eddie Munson, aren't you?'

He almost drops his lunchbox one day when he's at his locker and Nancy suddenly appears out of nowhere behind him.

'Jesus, you scared me, can you not sneak up on me like that?!' he blurts out to conceal how his heart is suddenly beating in his throat. Fuck, he never really wanted to talk to her, that was never part of the plan. He didn't even know she knew who he was in the first place!

Looking into her eyes is the most difficult thing of all. No matter how different the two of them are, those eyes are proof of what they have in common: almost too big for their faces and so expressive that every emotion they have is easily betrayed in their gazes. Looking at her, really looking at her, shows him the phantom life that could've never been his anyway more clearly than anything else.

He sees himself, two years old, holding a newborn in his arms. He sees the two of them giggling and playing with a baby through the bars of a playpen four years later. He sees them on a playground, swinging side by side and getting mud on their hands in a sandbox. He sees the two of them grow older: him making her laugh by making up silly stories about her barbies, her practicing with make-up on his face, him sharing his newfound love for good music with her; the two of them dramatically complaining about their parents together, him teaching her to play guitar, her on his bed talking about boys; all taking place in that big house that Eddie will never even set foot in, because he belongs there just as much as the raccoons that sometimes plague their trashcans.

'Are you stalking me?'

Eddie blinks. The way she looks at him knocks the breath right out of his lungs: her chin is tilted upwards and there's something almost defiant in the way her eyebrows are curved. Suddenly, she seems to have much more in common with Eddie than he thought, this freshman girl with neatly braided hair challenging the local trailer trash drug dealer without an ounce of timidity.

'Uhhhh,' he dumbly says.

'Do you want something from me?'

'N-no,' he stutters.

'Then stop staring at me all the time, creep,' she says sharply.

Before he can say anything else, she turns her back to him and walks away.

He knows pretty damn well he shouldn't stare, but he finds himself glued to the floor, unable to look anywhere else while Nancy's tiny frame disappears among the crowds of students filling the school halls.

This one hurts more than anything else; even more than that time just after he found out, when he was soaking wet and staring into the Wheelers' warmly lit kitchen from behind the bushes in their garden.

She has no clue who he is; no clue how closely their lives are intertwined. She didn't see in his eyes what he saw in hers. Of course she didn't. How could she? He's just Eddie Munson, the school freak, after all. Completely and utterly incomparable to little miss perfect Nancy Wheeler. He's the weirdo whose creepy gaze she had intercepted one too many times in the cafeteria, making her so uncomfortable that she felt the need to stand up for herself and say something about it.

God, he needs to let this go.

currently reading Dynasty: The Rise and Fall of the House of Caesar by Tom Holland (not that one) and i am screaming about the descriptions used for certain family members of this incredibly fucked up family (affectionate)

I just realized that the key that Jennesh gives Frey, actually is the key that specifically opens Cinta's music box (not a vault, like I claimed some time ago. Cinta's legacy to Frey was hiding behind a painting). And this just gives me even more feels? Such a very personal belonging of Cinta ending up in the hands of Jennesh. The reason for him because he did not want him to owe Frey anything.

Here's an original character for the Subnautica fic I'm writing. His name's Alec and he is also traumatized by the ocean planet now. Neither of them knows how or why it happened since neither trusts the other but he's Ryley's latest adopted sibling.

15

4'8 - 142.24 cm

Sarcastic little spitfire who is pretty guarded and quick to snap and deflect with aggression, is actually just a small nerd.

When stressed/being chased, rather than swearing or screaming, he starts badly humming old (by future standards) pop music. A common one is Britney Spear's toxic

Tiny ball of chaotic reckless energy.

Late night thinking about Nancy Wheeler who we're introduced to as almost an extension of The Party with Dustin offering her pizza and Lucas agreeing that something is wrong with her. It's almost like we're being told that she's still very much a child.

But we're shown someone who is desperate to grow up, to shed her innocence, to be viewed as an adult. (in the way teenage girls often are) And thinking about that, as a narrative metaphor it makes sense that Barb dies the night Nancy loses her virginity. Narratively she gets what she wants, so of course there's no going back. Barb as a representation of Nancy's childhood is part of what makes her death a tragedy. The idea that she was begging Nancy to leave the party, to hold on to girlhood just a little longer and Nancy refused and told Barb to go home? To imply that Nancy didn't need her as a guardian anymore? Only to spend the rest of the week desperate to find her. But it's too late, she can't go back.

And there's something so twisted and unavoidable about Mike, who did get his best friend back, who does get to live in childhood a little longer. STILL BE SO DESPERATE TO GROW UP.

The issue is complicated by the problem of relations between Prince Henry and his brother Thomas. Though there is every indication that the two men worked together harmoniously after 1413, political and personal factors certainly combined to create friction between them during their father’s reign. While Prince Henry had struggled consistently against adversity as commander of the English forces engaged in the suppression of the rebellion in Wales, Thomas had displayed no such dedication to his duties as lieutenant of Ireland. His reluctance to remain at his post was condoned by his father, and his consequent frequent presence at Court must have reinforced the position which he seems to have enjoyed as the king’s favourite son. In a meeting of the royal Council in August 1409, when it seems likely that the prince and the Beauforts were making their influence felt, it was recommended that Thomas should be relieved of his command and paid 3000 marks a year to leave his father’s household and set up an establishment of his own. Early in the prince’s ministry, in June 1410, an application to the Council by Thomas for the payment of debts owed to him as lieutenant of Ireland met with the reply that the government would only make the effort to find the money if Thomas was prepared to go to Ireland and do his duty there. This was not an idle threat. The Issue Rolls record no payment for the current expenses of Ireland after this meeting until March 1411, and Thomas only received £221 in payment of debts during the whole of the prince’s ministry. Thomas was soon afterwards at the centre of one of the most bizarre episodes of the later years of the reign — his own marriage to Margaret Holland, widow of John Beaufort, Earl of Somerset. Within a few months of her husband‘s death in March 1410, it was decided that she should marry a prince who could already be considered to be aligned with the king in opposition to the political aspirations of her brothers-in-law, and who also happened to be her nephew by marriage. Any suspicion that Henry IV might have arranged the match in order to meet the Council’s unwelcome suggestion of 1409 by giving Thomas his pension in the form of the estate of a Beaufort widow could only have exacerbated matters. It is not surprising that open disagreement broke out between Henry Beaufort, Somerset’s brother and executor, and Thomas, over the financial aspects of the marriage, and that Prince Henry supported his uncle against his brother. Even if Thomas had no positive political aspirations of his own, the divisions within the royal family made it virtually inevitable that he would be drawn into controversy. Prince Henry’s fall from power can only have enhanced Thomas’s public standing, and his involvement in the important and highly contentious question of relations with France must have acted as a catalyst in an already tense constitutional and family conflict.

this picture of james and nish gives me such massive maresh sibling energy i had to make this

also fun fact i’ve met both james AND nish and they’re just as iconic as you’d imagine

[friendsdontlieokay]

So the duffers actually make points with so many little details which some of us notice and some of us don't, but the main point is if they can create so many little details I don't think they "forgot" that Mike and Nancy are siblings, I think there's more to it.

First of all, the wheeler family is already dysfunctional enough, but still at the beginning of season 1 Mike and Nance were actually siblings siblings you know? And that "no more secrets" part, I think Nancy meant it.

But that was before she got to know about Barb's death. Her death established a guilt into Nancy but other than that I think a part of Nance was disappointed or rather just sad over the fact that Mike's best friend came home and hers didn't, how everyone looked for Will from the very beginning despite finding his body, but no one looked for Barbara.

You can see that at the end of the scene where the kids reunite with Will, she's happy for a moment but then the look of regret embraces her face.

I'm not blaming her, trust me, it's kinda obvious that she would regret the fact, whether consciously or subconsciously, and it's not because she hates Will or anything, she doesn't, it's because she and Mike are siblings, so a comparison is kinda obvious, especially in the 80's, and again, Mike's friend came home and hers didn't.

And you know what's the most upsetting part? That she can't speak about it with anyone else, because who would she share this with? Jonathan? Will's Jon's little brother. Mike? Will's his best friend? Her mom? What if she blamed her? But I guess that's just Nancy's POV, if she told them, I don't think they would take it otherwise.

I think that's why she got distant form Mike cause you can see that Mike sometimes sorta reaches out to her but she never does so I think it's the precise reason why.
