okay but a like post-series fic i want that's like: steve harrington being the only man left in hawkins fighting monsters

and not like a 'everyone died, last man standing' way but just. they beat it back, the story ends, nice little tie-up and neatly concluded, eleven loses her powers because their world is completely cut from the other. and life goes on. eddie (yes, eddie lives au don't fight me) goes off with his band, robin-nancy-jargyle off to separate cities for college. the kids go to high school, graduate high school, and scatter across the country. joyce and hop buy a beach house far-far-far away from goddamn hawkins indiana.

steve though. steve stays. he does it too without comment, takes all their calls telling him all these amazing things. the years pass. the calls are fewer and far between. he's mostly in contact with only dustin and robin. except robin's out of country doing some crazy temp job in some remote country, she never catches him at home right now so just leaves him messages. and it takes a couple of weeks for dustin to realize he hasn't gotten steve on the phone.

frantically he calls around "have you heard from steve???" except the most people talk to steve anymore is like phone calls during holidays and holy shit what could have happened??

and what if it's back?

cue everyone who can in that moment, rushing back. eddie hopping on a flight from fucking london direct to indianapolis somehow, heart in his throat. he manages to meet hopper in the airport and they pick up max and dustin at the bus station.

they get to hawkins that is even more different that what they left. a smaller town, a town that shuts down completely when the sun sets. it's creepy and deserted.

except for the fucking upside down monsters of course.

and they're in their stupid little rental in front of this demogorgon and they're screaming but then the thing just goes splat on the concrete and steve fucking harrington is blinking owlishly at them.

"Oh, hey guys!" he calls jogging up to the driver's side window. "Wow, what brought you back down this way? You should have told me, I would have told you about the curfew!"

turns out steve just forgot to pay his phone bill that month, didn't even realize he was missing calls and he's been fighting monsters the entire time because actually they WEREN'T cut off from the upside down at all and he's just been casually fighting monsters for the remaining hawkins residence—the whole town knows now and steve's the guy you call when you have a monster problem

sidebar: WAYNE still lives in hawkins, and he and steve are best friends, eddie munson you are gonna LOSE YOUR MIND

The redacted fandom after you say you still like William, a morally gray character, even through they LOVE characters that have done worse things like I don't know, KIDNAPPING AND TORTURING PEOPLE:

[mooblybloom]

I'd like to thank the Fenton family are master manipulators and Danny has learned from his family some know about their manipulative tendencies more than others in the family such as:

Jack Fenton:

He is blissfully unaware of his belated manipulation almost annoyingly so (scratch almost it's totally annoying) he uses his adorable naivety to play into people's hearts to get exactly what he wants which is partly why they're OSHA violation filled house still stands on city blocks

Danny blessed with his mother's youth and soft round facial features aid him in this respect Jack didn't outright teach him how to be manipulative in this tactic Danny just kind of picked it up by watching silently taking notes throughout his life

Madison Fenton:

Maddie is terrifying when it comes to her manipulation she has the smile of a goddess but the aura of an overprotective mother Bear. Not only is she a black belt in karate but she also knows how to use what's most closest to her and burn everything to the ground before your eyes in order to avenge her family's honor and or pride

Danny learns how to be just as overprotective if not more and maybe a bit overbearing over his found family after the accident. so scared that he might lose them with all the misfortune he attracts on a daily basis He's come close to pulling what his mother does when burning the things of Vlad loves most before his eyes but he can't bring himself to do it knowing that thing Vlad knows most is his own mother and he knows he wouldn't be able to hurt her hard enough to hurt Vlad without hurting himself in the process He's not willing to take that sacrifice

Jasmine Fenton

Jazz is much like her mother in the respect of being overprotective just not as much as Danny (post accident) or Maddie unlike her mother Jasmine prefers a more psychological root as her first action instead of a physical one at an early age Jasmine started to hyper fixate on The psychological aspect of manipulation thus she has thrown herself into studies and all the ways to tear a man apart from the mind alone she can be almost sadistic in this respect if it includes avenging a family member (mostly Danny or Danny's found family) she can be downright terrifying this becomes even more apparent when she becomes Justice of the Ghost Kings high council because her ghostly ability includes illusions and the mind and that can only lead to breaking a man beyond repair

Danny being raised by his older sister due to his parents accidental neglect knows far more about the human brain than anything else. He knows how to tear apart a man from the mind as well this only gets worse post accident because not only can he take apart your mind with psychological warfare but some of his threats won't be as baseless he could threaten to rip out your heart before the accident but he couldn't actually do that until post accident All intake is for him to go intangible place a hand on your beating heart and whisper the threat and you'd be psychologically scarred for years

(Jazz has watched him do this to people! She is incredibly proud!)

If someone is creating harmless content for free on the internet and you decide to shit on it publicly just because you, personally, don't like it I just think you're a very pathetic person

[cant-get-no-worse]

fuck Luis Rubiales, fuck the RFEF, fuck Jorge Vilda, fuck every man who stood in that room and clapped as he refused to resign and fuck every football player who rushed to defend Mendy and keep their mouths shut when a player's lifetime moment of glory was spoiled by the action of one man.

What do you think about the iwtv tv show?

It's fine enough! Funnily enough i got into iwtv in the first place because my friend suggested I check out the show and I forgot what medium they suggested the series in so I read the book instead lmao. I think if I watched the show first I would be a lot more into it, but honestly with the context of the books I didn't love a lot of the changes. Mostly to do with Claudia (esp relating to her relationship with Lestat). I love Louis in every iteration tho! he is always a delight to see and I love seeing different interpretations of his character and story. Idk I could point out all the reasons the show didn't hit in the same way as the books to me but it's been talked to death by book fans and my opinions aren't super original I'm sure

On a slightly more frustrated note I'm really not cool with the way the showrunners erased the canonical asexuality of the characters. Because honestly that's what it is to me and a lot of other fans. Iwtv is the first adult series I've gotten invested in that had asexual themes that didn't feel tacked on and also didn't need to be pointed out. It's taken seriously and the lack of sexual attraction doesn't infantilize the characters in any way which is just really nice. The romance and passion in the books is something that really connected with me and the fact that they both made sex possible and also an important point to several different character's arcs is really frustrating and it's kind of the reason I don't like interacting with the show.

Idk I could go on but a lot of people who are a lot more well spoken than me have articulated better comparisons than I ever could so I'll leave it here

[sskk-manifesto]

What a good episode. Maaaaaan

[hislittleraincloud]

Just want to inform you that you’ve made it to Twitter. (https://x.com/altf4d3lete/status/1838681661816664313?s=46&t=sjzE9yJDPIIrx07d8gwl7g)

Sad and embarrassing this little kids don’t know what crack ships are.

Fuck 'em. I responded. See how long it takes for them to chickenshit block me. Once again I must remind everyone that I'm a veteran of ship wars. I don't care if I'm outnumbered 1M to 1. I've been doing this longer than some of those turdlings have been alive.

And I am in the right about Mejia's shitty bastardization because I don't have thick ship goggles on.

*holds up a finger* boy do i wish that was me tho ngl

[kaolincrush]

as above so below, somewhere in the darkest depths beyond the sea there's a really, really deep pit. at the bottom of that pit is a sage and she's been there for a really, really long time.

there's absolutely no timeline/lore basis or excuse here, i just wanted to make a vaguely redesigned wind waker era rito oc insert for totk 🙈 idk she grants gloom immunity or something

the grand sum of her story is that she was left behind in a temple in ancient times as a guardian for something important, then both her and the location were struck from record and forgotten on purpose so ganondorf couldn't find her and destroy/take what she protects for the hero the next time he came around, which is........ some stock legend of zelda Key Item, you know how it is. problem is, she never got found. lost to time but the heart and spirit endure 💖 maybe a predecessor or descendant of medli depending on how silly and wacky you want to get with the timeline lmao

also she's not a juvenile rito, her wings are mourning dove patterned 😌

[orchideae]

Okay but also, when I aim to return more actively; is it too early to slowly touch on Christmas threads, even if Genshin hasn't exactly indulged us with it? Liyue not celebrating Christmas (or something akin to it) makes perfect sense, of course, but with the concept of Fontaine being so incredibly European-inspired (alongside Mondstadt), it'd make sense to have something slightly akin to it? With my verse placing Yelan in there more commonly, I just think it'd be neat to introduce her to Fontainian Christmas-y traditions.

[ziipzeepzop-eez]

here is your ask detailing what i think of you based off of your most recent reblog!!

very, very kind hearted. you care a lot about the people around you and the things you love and it shows. it really,, REALLY shows. you're considerate and caring to an extent of which everyone around you appreciates, the energy you bring with each reblog, post, and comment (no matter how minimal you think it is) is welcoming and all-around awesome. i see the tags of your reblogs from me and it makes me smile,, i love seeing you talk about whatever /pos

you're friendly and approachable through and through, but you're not afraid to speak your mind and call things out as they are. (yeah!! yeah!!!!) your presence is very soothing. you have a lot to say and all of it is worth listening. /pos!!

you know those thingies, uhhh, what were they called again? homeric epithets? if you were one, you'd be bright-tongued and dew-eyed.

your ability to imbue text and writing with emotion and feeling is impeccable,, even the way you talk in general is visually pleasing.

i genuinely have nothing bad to say about you.

if i talked about a body and it's functions or whatever, you'd be the heart. the epitome of love and fondness and continual beating despite, despite, despite. does that make sense? mmm,, i'll try to figure out how to word this later.

we love you, zee. you're doing great.

My goodness. My, my goodness.

😭😭 I... don't even know what to s a y?? Like, what can I even say at this point??

I'm going to be completely honest, it's been a few days. I received this a while ago and I'm so sorry I'm getting back to it late, but when I first read it, I was completely dumbfounded. This needed to MARINATE. Needed to SINK IN.

and I'm okay now. 🥹 Gosh, do you know how liberating it is to say that? In any aspect of the word, no matter how little or how deep it goes.

Lemme just...,,,

This is probably the most poetic way anyone's ever described something about me. Like, if I ever had the pleasure of being remembered by equally as beautiful and poetic people in this lifetime, I do believe it would look and read like this.

I always say it, I think, but I'll say it again because I'm not tired of it: seeing myself through other people's eyes is an essential thing to my being and this has caused an entire nebula of serotonin to explode from the crown of my head and has reached every single nerve ending throughout my body, and it spreads like liquid gold: warm and viscous and boy, it has left me shining.

I thank you from the bottom of my heart (("you'd be the heart" THAT PART??? 😭😭🫀 DO YOU TRULY MEAN THAT?? IM PUTTING THIS AS MY OFFICIAL PROFILE DESCRIPTION FOR THE REST OF. FOREVER!! YEAH!!)), and for you? I'll always do my best to remain bright-tongued and dew-eyed.

Because if I've got shawtys out here describing me like this?? It means I've done something very, very right, and I never want to let that go or give anyone whom I love dearly ANY reason to believe otherwise.

Of course I know people make mistakes— and I know I'm far from perfect. But just being here and doing my best is enough. You guys helped teach me this, and I am forever grateful.

Y'all make me better 🥹🥰.

I love you so, so much. Thank you for being my friend. I love you. 🥰😭🧡

I unfortunately do not have any floormaster headcanons to send you, so I’ll ask a question instead: how do you think the floormasters would act if they were participants in the game?

SORRY THIS TOOK TOO LONG BUT I'M STUPID AND I ACCIDENTALLY DELETED THE WHOLE ANSWER INSTEAD OF SAVING IT 😭

now, without much context it's hard to say... are the floor masters participants and viceversa? or are the floor masters participants together with the main cast? are the floor masters acting like their "floor masters selves" or are they acting "human"? some answers might change depending on that but. ugh. my thoughts can't turn into words.

sorry they aren't very long but I honestly never thought of this and didn't want to leave you to wait for a week </3 also. writer's block sucks :D

[actual headcanons under the cut]

Sue Miley

- bonds with Safalin almost immediately, seeing her as the most normal among the group

- she doesn't like the rest of the group too much but recognizes why they're needed to move forward in the game

- a bit cold

- not the laughing doll in this scenario but laughs at most inopportune moments (nervous laughter)

Rio Ranger

- a bit of an annoying brat

- most people dislike him but understand he's a kid

- he doesn't really leave Gashu's side and vouches for him, showing they can trust him

- he left Gashu's side once and got caught in a trap

- if Kai's there, he'd glare daggers at him the whole time

- comes up with great and brilliant ideas out of nowhere from time to time

- great at minigames (attractions)

Tia Safalin

- she tries to keep an eye on Rio, trying to be the main target of his harassment so that others won't dislike him too much (they're still annoyed by proxy)

- she's mostly patient and nice with everyone, but could easily backstab them (or try to) if the situation allows it

- she's not as much of a crybaby as she is in game since she's not the crying doll here

- but she's still very sensitive

- she cries during arguments (main game discussions)

Gashu Satou

- he has the potential to be very helpful to the group but he gives uncanny valley, so they're mostly uncomfortable around him

- his potential is mainly in the technological/mechanical field

- if Kai is in the group, depending on the Asu-Naro situation in this scenario, he'd either avoid him and be neutral to him as much as he can or try to protect him as much as possible without it being too apparent

- he'd try to protect Rio

- he'd either die first or survive until the final floor (to die anyway)

- someone tried at lest once to rip that crabstache off only to come to the terrible realizzation that it is indeed real

Midori / Sou Hiyori

- he wouldn't have to change his name in any scenario

- manipulates everyone into trusting him, making them believe that he's a good guy who only wants what's best for them, who wants to help them escape, who would sacrifice himself even for them... etc

- then he backstabs everyone, managing to be the only one standing at the end of the game.

- at least that's the plan

- he'd be among the ones with the highest survival percentage, although, as we know, his plans don't always go his way...

Meister

- bro's chilling :D

- he's rather friendly with everyone but something seems off

- he actually takes the situation very seriously but his calm and nonchalant behavior might show otherwise

- no, no one is questioning why he's covered in bandages

- quietly makes it quite far

- although a bit suspicious
