My hand slipped (jk this was on purpose bc I saw Timothee Chalamet and Saoirse Ronan photo shoot and imagined them)

If you want actual comedy, you guys need to go read Orange Crush by @dufrau.

It is absolute gold and a guaranteed way to brighten your day.

Nancy opened her eyes and blinked hard, trying to force her eyesight back and the images out of her mind. Robin already had the Tylenol out of her pack and was handing her two for the headache. Before she could explain the grisly vision, there was a crackle of static from their walkies and then El’s voice was barrelling through the quiet of the library.

“Get out! It’s a trap! It’s a trap!”

Steve pulled Nancy to her feet and they ran for the doors before she could grab her pack. She made it two steps before the floor beneath her boots was collapsing and a vine was winding around her ankle. She felt the sharp tug and then she was being pulled down, down, down through the rough hole in the floor.

Or, things do not go as planned when the group returns to the Upside Down.

More Rogue/Magneto sketches!

Got tagged by lovely @eurydia to share a wip so I am dropping something really quick and early, an idea that got stuck in my head for a 60s take on them. Fingers crossed I’ll be able to bully myself into finishing it.

Passing forward to @andr0leda @chocoarts @shahs1221 @sweepy-stringbean @shierak-inavva @legionofpotatoes with no pressure 💜 also if this crosses your dash don’t be shy and show me the goodies!!! (tag me so I don’t miss them 🍹)

Some recent tenar sketches :) (they get roughly worse in order, sorry bout that)

IMPORTANT EDIT: HEY I did some of these sketches a couple of weeks ago and I completely forgot that some of the pencil sketches were from references by the incredible @sweepy-stringbean, who has a load more (a lot cooler) tenar and lark art to look at! I completely forgot to reference, and I’m mostly just doing sketches from photo references now, but if I use an art reference again I will be sure to mention. Apologies for the fuck-up. :)

The Complete Guide to Josieverse, AKA Single Parent Robin AU

(art by myself, @lazylittledragon and @sweepy-stringbean!)

What is Josieverse?

Josieverse is an alternate universe where Robin Buckley is a single parent to a daughter. She raises her with Steve and Eddie’s help initially, and then the help of the rest of the group once they move back to Hawkins.

Robin has a little girl named Josephine “Josie” Buckley, born April 28th 1989 while Robin is in her second year of college. They live with Steve and Eddie, who accompanied Robin to California, at first in an apartment, then later in a house they buy in Hawkins.

When Josie's six and a half years old, Nancy returns to Hawkins and learns about her existence, starting a ronance slowburn with mutual pining from both Nancy and Robin.

All in all, it's a universe centred on everyone healing post-canon, and one little girl being raised by an entire group of people who love her

When is it set?

The fic universe overall spans the events prior to her birth and as far as I’m concerned covers her entire life. I’ve pictured her marriage and her children and how Robin would be as a grandparent. I haven’t got much addressed pre-Robin going to college, but I’m pretty much picking and choosing from my various other fics and canon.

The ronance arc starts in 1995. In my head the universe is split into segments: Pre-Josie / The Pregnancy Saga / The Early Years / Settling Into Hawkins / Nancy’s Return / The Rest of Childhood / The Teen Years / Leaving the Nest / Josie’s Adulthood / Ronance Retirement

Can I read it?

Sure, kind of. I post fics for the universe as I finish them, so there are currently a lot of unfinished ones in my drafts. My fics can be found on my AO3. I also post about the universe here, on my twitter, and on my ko-fi.

Fic List

I’ll update this post whenever I post a new one, but here’s the series masterlist if you want to keep up (rearranged into timeline order, below fics are ordered chronologically by date posted).

bright as the morning sun — A slice-of-life oneshot revolving around Robin, Steve and Josie.

here's to my future (here's to my yesterday) — The party learn that Robin's pregnant.

all for freedom and for pleasure — Eddie discovers that Josie has learnt how to blackmail people.

tomorrow's coming at the speed of light — The day Josie's born.

what you fear the most — Steve comes home to find Robin and Josie stuck in the garden.

somebody that you used to know — A slice-of-life oneshot about Robin and Val, before.

FAQs

A separate post containing more information about the universe can be found [here].

AUs

Josieverse has a couple of alternate universes that I talk about occasionally. They are:

Jiffverse / Rockstar AU — AKA the Tiktok AU. Series timeline slightly altered so that Robin and Steve are in their late thirties during present day. Steve adopts his half-sister Elizabeth (Biff). Robin gets pregnant with Josie in college still, but this time they coparent them together. Set in @pukner's Rockstar Eddie universe but slightly to the left.

Fantasy AU — Little fantasy universe I've toyed with. Robin is the reigning queen of her kingdom, Josie is her heir, Nancy is her sworn protector.

Evil Josieverse — Josieverse, except Robin dies during the bubblescoops arc when Josie's four.

[smileweakandwrong]

Her eyes opened and she could feel the sweat beading on her forehead. Will was looking at her with concern, knowing that this was different. “Radio Steve right now. Right now!” she yelled, trying to shake off the pain in her head and get to her feet.

“Nancy? What is it?” Will asked her.

“It’s going to get them and bring them to the Upside Down. It’s going to get them both. Robin and Mike.”

Welcome back!

@sweepy-stringbean has worked so hard and put so much time into this incredible piece and this chapter just wouldn't be the same without it. Hell, this fic wouldn't be half as good if it wasn't for all the fantastic art that accompanies it.

Thank you, friend 💜

I was waiting for TLOU to break my heart every week, and now that it's over I don't know what to do with myself

@sweepy-stringbean you encouraged me to draw this beautiful shot of Ellie sleeping, and here it is! I had so much fun drawing her!🎉

[yxlenas]

okay Vampire Nancy Lore time

Nancy has pointed ears, right? (think @sweepy-stringbean and their rendition of Tenar's pointed ears)

When she drinks blood they wiggle like a kitten who's being bottle fed.

Chrissy and Robin especially think it's adorable.
