Steve and Eddie who kind of flop in life and end up poor, living in a trailer in a different small town living quiet lives of no import.

The kids, Robin, Nancy, and Johnathan all seem to take the small handful of opportunities offered to them by the government in the aftermath of the Upsidedown to take off and make something of their lives. They're off writing headlines, making news, and living their lives to the best of their abilities, but Steve and Eddie find themselves stuck.

Steve stayed in Hawkins until the kids graduated and left for college. By then Nancy, Johnathan, and Robin are all in their second or third years of college. John and Nancy have their own apartment in New York together and don't reach out all that often, only seeing the rest of the Hawkins crew on Holidays and some vacations. Robin is flourishing at an all-women's college in Maine and has a partner and a cat and plans for graduate school brewing. She's always saying Steve can come out and join her whenever he's ready, but when the time comes it feels like he would just be trying to insert himself in the middle of a life he doesn't know how to fit into, so he turns to Eddie instead.

Eddie is permanently disabled in a number of ways following the events of season four. He struggles with chronic pain, has breathing issues due to the loss of part of his right lung, and lost enough muscle mass in his left leg that walking will never be easy or done without the use of a walker or arm bar crutches. The doctors said he recovered as well as he could have. The kids said he would get better with time. Wayne said it didn't matter if he never got better, he could do anything he set his mind to.

Steve is the only person who tells him the truth.

Steve tells him that it sucks. Tells him that it will probably always hurt. Doesn't give him false hope when he's trying to grieve the loss of the life he wanted to live. The goals he wanted to reach. When he falls deeper and deeper into himself, stuck in the muck of depression, Steve is the only person he lets in. The kids try their best but their lives are moving fast, and taking care of someone like Eddie is exhausting, no matter what they try to say. Eventually, everyone but Dustin gives up on reaching out, the younger boy showing up every Sunday to try and get Eddie out of the house. He always leaves disappointed.

When Steve asks him if he wants to use what's left of their partly government payouts and Steve's equally meager Family Video savings to buy a truly shitty trailer in a town an hour and a half south of Hawkins in the fall of 1990, it feels like the first boon he's been given in almost five years. He'll never be who he could have been if he had ignored Chrissy that day in 86', but he's always thought maybe he could be more than a ghost between Wayne's walls if he could just get out of this god-forsaken town full of people who know too much and too little of what's happened to him.

They get the trailer, pack what little they have, let Wayne hug them close, and leave.

Steve has already transferred to their new town's Family Video, moving up to claim the dubious honor of being the opening manager. Mostly he just unlocks the door, signs into the computer, and makes sure nothing catches fire. Eddie hoped that moving would miraculously make him fit to enter back into the world, but he spends most of his days with a blanket on the front porch, watching people pass by. He does, though, finally accept that he needs to apply for disability to help Steve keep the lights on and the water hot. That last little bit of hope that he could be what he used to be dies, but he's learning to be content with what he does have. He starts taking a walk, just ten minutes around the loop of the trailer park saying hi and trading polite nods with his fellow residents. He's not ok, but he's starting to build a new community of people not too different from himself.

The new trailer only has one bedroom. Eddie sleeps on a fold-out mattress in the living room. It had been a major argument when they first moved in with Steve insisting that Eddie needed the bed. Eddie argued that it wasn't fair for him to take the room when Steve was the one working 40 hours a week to keep them afloat. In the end, Eddie was the more stubborn of the two. It helps that Eddie has absolutely no qualms about crawling into bed with Steve on the nights when the couch bed really won't cut it for his aching body. Steve never questions it, just shuffles over a little and lets the other man in.

Steve doesn't question a lot of stuff.

He doesn't question when all their effects are shared between them with no effort to distinguish between yours and mine, Eddie's and Steve's. He doesn't question it four months in when Eddie starts to get his feet under him and decides to take up cooking, always trying his best to have everything done just as Steve walks through the door. He doesn't question when a good chunk of Eddie's first disability check goes to buying Steve a sturdy, if not very fashionable, new watch for his birthday since his old one went bust almost a year ago.

He doesn't question it when Eddie holds his hand for the first time under the stars hanging above their front porch.

He doesn't question it when Eddie introduces him to one of his new neighbor friends with a hand resting comfortably on his lower back

He doesn't question it when Eddie starts sleeping in the bedroom every night.

Or makes him box mix cupcakes for Valentine's Day.

Or kisses him for the first time on the couch that's never a bed unless they want to spend the day binge-watching bargain bin films.

Because really, isn't this how it was always going to go? Wasn't this exactly what Steve was asking for when he asked Eddie to skip town with him?

Isn't this what Eddie was hoping for when he said yes?

Hello, I hope you had a wonderful holiday season, and a Happy New Year! Woohoo! I appreciate all of your patience with my sudden vacation.

This year was so incredible despite many obstacles!  I moved into a city I love. I’m surrounded by a growing cloud of amazing friends. I picked up new hobbies that have given me new things to be excited about and strive for success in. I feel stronger than ever in my faith. AND I also owe a large part of it to you all.

You are the reason I am able to live the life that I do- a full time cartoonist! Wow! Thank you so much for being there to commission me, to support me verbally,  or to simply laugh at my comics and button mash in the tags! Whenever I need a surge of inspiration, I look at all the wonderful things you are saying and it fills me with encouragement to keep on going. ( I might even be brave enough to start posting my original writing this year! 👀) I want to charge further and really see how much I can do with my time at 25.

Thank you so much for everything! I hope that you continue to look forward to all the things I create this year, and that you create as well! Art, music, good dinners, memories, anything that makes you happy!

STAY RAD

Sobbing uncontrollably reading through a dissertation about the college experience of students with ADHD. It is like reading a report about my life that just says over and over "My experiences are real. My hardships are real. I am not lazy, I am not dumb. My struggles were not my fault, and they were not a moral failing. The failure was with the system, not with me."

Here's a line that got me in particular:

"Hotez et al.(2022) compared the health, academic, and non-academic capacities of a nationally representative sample of U.S. first-year college students with ADHD and without ADHD. Students with ADHD self-reported lower academic aspirations and more feelings of depression and overwhelm, ranking themselves lower in their general emotional health. The fact that students with ADHD scored in the highest 10th percentile for many non-academic traits, such as artistic ability, computer skills, creativity, public speaking, social confidence, self-understanding and understanding of others, compassion, and risk-tasking, suggests that this population has strengths that are frequently underappreciated in academia."

(the paper is a thesis called "Understanding the Collegiate Experience for Students With ADHD" by Gia Long, 2022)

Xisuma, why in the world were trying to fix your helmet with TAPE?? I thought the superglue idea was unhinged but THIS IS A NEW LEVEL

(I know that it's probably not holding itself ONLY on tape, but the image in my head is too funny)

What's next? You tell me he attached Doc's new arm to his body with tape and glue too??

THIS RESPONSE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE COMICAL but I let it get away from me;;

Sorry, last one, swear!! I'll try and finish this by the 10th and then I will leave you all alone. I'm experiencing some long missed joy in creating this, please forgive my impatient excitement

on a real note thank you for the enthusiastic reception re: mtmtm, or at the very least meeting it with open curiosity. i have been into horror for a very long time but it has not ever been a big focus in my art, so there was no way to really guess how it would be received. when all was said and done i had a book i loved writing, in all its gore and sex and questionable themes (and bugs) but i did not know if i would have the audience for it. if anyone other than my close friends and generous beta readers would have an interest in reading it. the past 3 months have shown me there is an audience for grotesque transgender horror gore porn, fairy pseudo mpreg, mindless meat orgies, horseboys, and medical malpractice woundfucking right in my very backyard, and it is equal measures kind and curious and horny. maybe i shouldnt be surprised that that the unmarketable monsterfucker tranny pervert website liked my unmarketable monsterfucker tranny pervert book. but i am. i feel very lucky. this has exceeded my wildest hopes. thank you for giving my little passion project a chance 🦂

Welcome back.

I am one of those people that's usually like "under no circumstance do you have to hand it to r/formula1" but I simply have to hand it to r/formula1 in this instance.

(Disclaimer I think it's important to remember that r/formula1 is male dominated, very prone to censure and very hostile to dissent before we pay them any credit. Also very important to remember that in 2022 the r/formula1 banner and icon was the Ukrainian flag and "no war" for MONTHS with multiple pinned threads for Ukraine- which is fine and honourable btw- but nothing for Palestine because it was too complicated and political ig🤩)

They've banned the sharing of Twitter links in light of Elon's mask off Nazism and I actually think that's a great move. I know it might not seem like much, and it isn't on a macro level, but it will 100% have an impact on the F1 community. Whether I like it or not, r/formula1 is a big deal in F1. It's the single largest F1 community in the world with 4.8 million members; motorsport journalists and paddock insiders and media personalities lurk on there all the time, and that's a fact. Multiple Skyf1 hosts have stolen stats and observations word for word from there, multiple accredited journalists have asked the mods to take down posts, multiple permanent paddock members have identified themselves to comment and defend themselves on there. This will absolutely force the hands of F1 journalists towards other platforms. It's a known fact that if you want attention and reach in F1, you can readily access it through r/formula1:

The subreddit is basically telling F1 journalists that if you want access to all these eyes and ears: get off Elongated Muskrat's app and I think that's a rare r/formula1 W actually

waow 2024 is almost dead!!! gone too soon. feels like it’s been a big year for me art-wise for many reasons, BUT. i’m making 2025 bigger.... hopefully....i’ve made some art goals for next year which i won’t explain in detail but they boil down to 1) do more studies 2) tackle my weaknesses (backgrounds, dynamic poses/angles, uhhh lots of stuff i am a one trick pony right now) 3) get into drawing comics, all of which are in preparation for 4) take my story ideas more seriously and get started on one of the many graphic novels living in my head. i have one in mind i HAVE to complete in my lifetime or i will die, but firstly i’m gonna mess around with some little standalone svanhildr comics perhaps. goat fans rejoice. 

anyway i wasn’t meant to ramble so i’ll just say THANK YOU for the support as always!!! i’m very flattered all of these have more than 1000 notes.....crazy. thank you. muah
