look at these chaotic little silly goobsters

[stranger-things-rewrite-takes]

They should have written in the side affects of dealing with the upside down. We get Will diagnosed with PTSD in season 2 but they kinda push it aside as it instead being his link to the upside down (could be wrong with that i just cant think of them mentioning PTSD again after)

I get that its plot armor but it would have been great to see physical evidence of whats happened. Like el having a slight limp or something from having to rip that tentacle out of her leg in season 3. Steve needing a hearing aid or glasses from the amount of head injuries he's gotten. Max, if she wakes up, should absolutely be blind.

The only instance that comes to mind of a character getting a scar is johnathan and nancy from distracting the demogorgon and asking eachother if they still have it in season 2. Theres so much to work with and i wish they did more with it

Yes! And respiratory issues! The air is canonically toxic in the upside down, and there’s particulates in the air— lots of them. Will especially should have lasting respiratory issues (he doesn’t have to like… cough that much, in this case they can just say it).

Maybe the upside down can affect them in other ways, too- but in my suggestions it’s much more “I think this series should have more horror/better body horror” rather than completely legitimate health effects. (Ex: I think El should have a limp because the thing in her leg had devoured a part of her flesh in order to grow to its current size. I think that Will should be mute or have scarring around his throat from the horrible tentacle thing from season 1. I think that he should have horrible nightmares that leave him terrified to go to sleep and something strange happens him, according to others; while he sleeps.)

@rainyydazze Ty for putting this in my brain

There is always a game of tug of war going on between the real world and the upside down, and Will is the rope

14 year old mike wheeler, monologuing to eleven: i knew from the moment i met you that i loved you

12 year old mike wheeler, the moment he met eleven: crawl out my window and go knock on my house's door so my mom calls child services on you and you can go back to pennhurst asylum or whatever because i'm way too busy — wait did you say you know about will? where is he? is he okay? you can live in my closet if you help me find him

The Stranger Things kids through the years

[hothammies]

the full party lineup (and their van) - au details + poll under the cut!

---

individual outfit details -> pts. i and ii

party outfit cohesion

to unify the group, i purposefully made it so that their outfits all have one piece that shares colors with a different member (ex. mike's jacket is the same color as lucas's pants, max's jacket is the same color as el's jeans, etc.)

the party swap clothes with each other occasionally (el swaps all the time) - sometimes they do it on purpose, sometimes on accident

the boys all share socks and belts with each other + the girls share pants

party dynamics

party started off with just the boys -> el and max join later

very tight knit group, all love each other - max's addition was the most volatile change and did not start off well

group roles are established (still trying to figure out the story, but i do know how each party member fits within the group)

regarding romance atp in the story -> lumax are in an "its complicated" stage (kissed once and don't know what to do ab it) and byler are tentative fwb with a strained friendship bc of it (up to interpretation for what they get up to)

--- other notes: i'm doing a poll out of curiosity's sake tbh - i want to know what you guys are interested in when im making this au! the results of the poll aren't necessarily what i'll post next since i've been making some character sheets for the party to establish how they act with their personalities, but either way, it'll be interesting to see the results. every option on the poll are things that i'm looking to explore anyways so this is really just for me to gauge interest :)

sobbing and crying because i got this wrapper on a chocolate

and i immediately thought of this:

--------------------

These kids will be the death of him.

Steve already knew this, mind you, he just thought the threat of actually dying from anything having to do with them was finally behind him for good.

But today.

Today, El was given a chocolate.

It was a leftover from Easter, one of those ones that has some sort of phrase typed on the inside of the wrapper (She probably shouldn’t have even eaten it, does chocolate go bad? They’re in the end of summer now..).

The kids were all at Steve’s, taking a last bit of a breather together before school started again. Before he, Robin, and Eddie make their move to Chicago. Before they’ll all be separated until a holiday rolls around.

Steve was lounging back on one of the chairs at the edge of his pool when El came up to him; Robin was on a chair of her own on his left, and Eddie, his darling boyfriend (Boyfriend! Can you believe that??), floating amongst the other gremlins still in the pool.

El’s shadow blocked the sun from his face when she stepped up to the other side of his chair, looking down at him with a determined look on her face (though the look is softened immensely by her chewing).

He smiles up at her, “What can I do for you, Bells?”

She doesn’t say anything, just swallows down whatever was still in her mouth and leans forward to hug him tightly around his arms and chest.

“Whoa, hey, You okay?” he says, starting to panic a bit, sitting up straight while wrapping an arm back around her. She’s not normally touchy or affectionate to others outside Hopper and the Byers, so he’s concerned, okay?

“I am okay,” she says, pulling back and handing him a shiny something. Steve takes it from her, recognizing as soon as he takes it, reading the chocolate’s message.

‘Hug the sunlight.’ is typed into the center of the foil.

El starts to explain before he can ask. “Eddie always calls you ‘Sunshine’, so I concluded this meant you.” She nods once in finality, and turns on her heel back to the chair she was sharing with Max.

Like he said, these kids are going to be the death of him.
