You are 16 and your brother’s best friend goes missing. You don’t really take it seriously at first cause a kid going missing is something that happens on tv or on other towns, not on Hawkins. He probably just skipped class or got lost on the way home or smth. You disobey your mother who wants you to stay home out of fear for you going missing too (you don’t take her seriously, he’s is probably fine) and lie to her to go with your best friend to your boyfriend’s house. Except, the moment you leave her alone to go with your boyfriend is the last moment you see her. She disappears. And you might not have known your brother’s friend very well, so you could just think he skipped class, but you do know your best friend. And you do know she wouldn’t just ditch you and disappear. You start taking the disappearances seriously. A body is found. Your brother’s friend is dead. You feel guilty about not really caring when he went missing, but your mind is still focused on your friend. Are you going to her funeral next? All the police does is ignore you, saying she probably ran away, and not helping. You feel crazy, you know something is wrong, why don’t they listen to you? You wonder if this is how your brother felt, but policemen were looking for his friend. You get involved in some weird supernatural stuff and turns out, your brother’s friend is not dead, but stuck in some other dimension. Your friend is probably there too. Still no news of her. You work with your brother’s best friend’s family and your brother’s other friends and a weird girl to rescue him. The girl manages to talk to him somehow. You hold hope. She tells you your best friend is dead. Your brother’s best friend comes back. Why him and not her? But you feel guilty just to think that, he’s just 12, it wasn’t his fault. You feel guilty about your friend. It was your fault, your mind whispers, you killed her. If you were with her at that moment, if you hadn’t left her behind. You left her behind, for what? To have sex with your boyfriend? Boyfriend you eventually break up with. Boyfriend who also doesn’t take your friend’s disappearance seriously. It takes a year for her to get a proper funeral. You don’t have her body, you’ll never do, you go grieve at an empty grave. You look at the casket at the funeral and know she’s not there. It seems you’re the only one who cares, you and her parents, who have no idea what happened. You hear your brother and his friends playing in the basement. You hear your brother’s friend laugh. You’ll never hear her laugh again.

You are Nancy Wheeler.

I loveeee being a tourist! When people are all “wahhhh I only go to HIDDEN LOCAL GEMS when I travel i could never be seen in my TENNIS SHOES with my CAMERA out god that’s soooo embarrassing!” I giggle a little. It’s the ‘I’m not like other girls’ of traveling. Like sorry you want to be special but I can’t relate at all. Of course it’s nice to get off the beaten path and go to local spots and I make sure to do a nice mix! but at the end of the day I also want to stand in the too long queues to see all the tourist spots and see for myself whether they are “overhyped” (and sometimes they are! But often they are not!) and take a stupid photo of me holding up the tower of the Pisa (or the equivalent at any travel destination). and sometimes yes I even want to go to the silly chain restaurant even though ‘I can get it at home’ because I like it and it’s my vacation. and I’m I want to do all of that wearing my comfortable albeit mildly ugly tennis shoes so my feet don’t hurt! And I have a great doing it!

Sonic twitter is so fucking miserable, holy shit.

I hate that post about how the key to not fandomizing your faves is to be academically brained. Like who cares? The key to enjoying tv shows is to hc everyone as gay all the time despite all evidence to the contrary & make up all the stuff you want. Pretend those two characters who have never interacted are besties. Those two who hate each other are fucking. It doesn’t matter at all as long as you’re having fun lol I promise you don’t have to be academically brained about making up stories

Have you ever seen an online Harry Potter fan who has a whole paragraph to explain that they still like it like “Harry Potter — the book where the main villain is a demagogue for a thinly veiled allegory for white supremacy, where it’s explicitly stated that power systems can be corrupted and the only recourse is to overthrow them and to defy them, and the media frequently lies to discredit those who challenge power — meant to much to me as a child. That’s why I’m reclaiming it from JKR, who is a fascist because she suggested the idea that women are defined by liking makeup might not be feminist.” Makes you wonder if they actually like. Read the books….

no yeah i’m convinced that harry potter fandom is largely self-insert fics rather than actually reading the books, like they treat the series as a dnd sourcebook for hogwarts as a setting instead of a story in its own right

it’s the only way i can explain how they ignore every single point she made

[lenny-zesty]

seeing fanfic writers try and upstage another person by saying "i was doing x before it was cool" is so childish dawg

[strings-of-barbedwire]

Am I the only one that’s bothered by people in the metal community hating on other people’s music taste?

Like, it’s fine if you don’t like Taylor Swift or Mitski but is it that fucking hard to keep your opinion to yourself? If you don’t like an artist that’s fine but there’s people who do and shouldn’t feel like they need to pick only one genre to listen to-

And it’s fine to express your opinion but you shouldn’t be making others feel like they can’t like multiple genres or artists when it’s perfectly fine to do so

being a part of the south park fandom in 2020-2021 was life altering.. half the fandom wanted to burn everyone at the stake who shipped any characters at all and half the fandom was shipping the adults with their own children but somehow it didn't feel like niches it was like everyone was all together just at each other's throats

I was so confused bc i played the video game and it was sooooo fucking fire but seeing people get so pissed about this fandom had me CONFUSED

Like esp the hyper “woke” fans 💀 like they would go thru such mental gymnastics to be like “critical” of the media they consumed it was like a circus man

[aridiculouslylongreceipt]

was in the phone with my brother today and he kept showing me off to his friends "look at my brother he buzzed his head today!! he looks like a nerd but in a good way!!" idk why something just clicked in my silly genderqueer brain that i, in fact, am an adult now and have complete free will and can do gender affirming shit. anyways. might get on testosterone. making appointments tomorrow morning.

Hot take: who cares if you like being called "babygirl", "kitten", "little one" or anything like that, we're all consenting adults and I think it's sweet

[juniperhillpatient]
