#not editing

[missingthemantaray]

new to small town life, steve harrington, who has been cut off from his family, told to make something of himself for once, yelled at about how easy his life is, how little they ask of him and how ungrateful he is, exiled to hawkins (the town his dad bought drunk one night as a gag).

there he meets robin, the sarcastic, mean, and wonderful owner of the motel steve is staying at (ew.)

and eventually eddie, the patronizing, unaware of personal space, and lovely (god, so lovely) guy who is going to help steve acquire the permits and grants to renovate the motel with robin, bit by bit who has big brown eyes and wild hair and wears basically the same tight, ripped jeans and loose button down with rolled sleeves everyday, while steve primps and styles and steams.

they fall in love, obvi, but not without a healthy dose of reality check for steve, family drama (boo, harringtons!), the best friendship (with a couple moments of shudderworthy attempts at more), steve cringing at eddie’s musical inclinations, meeting the rest of the town (mayor hopper, his wife, joyce, the gang of children steve is unsure of which parent they each belong to, and who make sure he never eats at benny’s alone (though he would maybe like to, just once!), the workers of the town-staple that is benny’s, jonathan (cook, high always) and argyle (waiter, high always, slightly more functional, but with more insane storytelling where you can’t tell if he’s making it up or telling the truth), the editor in chief of the hawkins paper, nancy, who has taken over the paper and declared that serious journalism must prevail in hawkins (think rory gilmore taking over the gazette and everyone going crazy because she took out the poem (i know, too many AUs at once))), an open mic, demolition in the motel with sweaty, gorgeous, hairy steve, lots of skin car routines, mental health crises, full blown disownment, happiness, love, friendship, joy, community, and small-town loving!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(steddie, ronance (robin helps nancy learn to love the mundane, nancy helps robin deal with change) (😭), lowkey jargyle (ive only heard of the drama of FoH and BoH star crossed loving and i live, but this would be decidedly less drama, they would simply be dating, like no labels but they love each other and kiss and hang out), lesbian eleven (she’s everything), a flirtation with byler (why not!), steve finding family, gayness, etc.)

Haha whoops I seem to be writing Vorkosigan saga fic

I'm supposed to be editing my novel

Ah well, if fic wants to happen it's going to happen

There are two and I think I can keep them each to one conversation between two characters which tends to go pretty quickly for me once I have the basics down

One of them was threatening to be plotty but I think I am getting some useful info out of my storytelling theory that will help me make things feel cool and plotty without actually inventing the entire plot

We'll see how that goes!

12.29.23 If talking about it helped at all I would never shut the fuck up

I would tell everyone about her weak body falling apart in three days

the way her paws crossed and struggled to walk straight how her eyes were confused the entire time with the fatigue she felt winning out against the memory of who she always was.

I'd tell you how much it hurt when she kept getting up painfully uncurling from my chest to lay further away from me and just stare at me wanting to know I was there

I'd tell you about the nurse who looked at me and somehow thought I've never been around death and talked too much the entire time who stood in the way of my privacy and grief

I'd tell you how the tears felt like blood from an open wound the way I couldn't do anything to stop them and they just spilled from me drop by drop

I’d tell you how scared I am to hold anyone now to touch anyone living the way her weight felt in my arms when she was gone how I knew better that air escapes muscles spasms but I still jumped with hope she someone was still alive

I'd ask you how many times can someone hold death and still be okay holding the living? I'd ask you if it's okay to wait until I fall asleep first so I won't think you're dead next to me

If talking helped at all I'd tell you about the suicide how he took the gun from his wife's car that he made her keep there for her protection in case of an emergency and drove off to shoot himself in the heart and crash the car into a ditch

I'd ask you if God is so great what's so good about making men unable to wait to meet them? Where's the good in salvation that you can't wait any longer for? I'd demand answers on why God made so many people in my family take their own life.

I'd ask you if you've read Death of A Salesman I'd ask you how much grief do you think the wife felt having the gun she never wanted or asked for having not seen in coming living the rest of her life with that oversight.

If talking helped at all I'd ask why the ones with the most love for life always die young why my school reunions are just funerals where I don't recognize anyone anymore except the dead.

If talking helped at all you’d know my silence as the chasm it is the childhood friend who spent more time growing than aging. the family tree that only withers or holds nooses the heartbeat I held until it was only a heart

Amal has spoken to me, asking me to help boost her campaign to save her family from genocide. Please donate whatever you can reasonably spare!

I once again need help <3 If the Geats fans (or the anon themselfs) could help me with this one it would be great and i would really apriciate it! Could someone tell me what ep to find these scenes? Thanks!

The only writing I have done this weekend is on ANOTHER new Loki show fic. That's okay! It's fun and keeps me sane and I made progress on editing my book on Wednesday. It will get done eventually!

Can you do fangans other than sdra2? If so which ones

Heya! I can do others as long as the sprites are within the DR style. I have a feeling this is relating to Eden's Garden, and to that, I can say that I can work with it, I just don't want spoilers! The only one I've ever played for myself is SDRA2!!
