The Nested Universes Theory

and the high chance of a very literal bitter/sweet ending…

Yes, Will and Mike will end up together, but their ending may be both happy and tragic simultaneously.

(This theory may explain why the cast and Netflix executives were crying heavily when informed of the show’s ending…)

I'm warning you guys, take care of yourself while reading this. This isn't an easy read.

CW: CSA, sex, drugs, HIV/AIDS, period typical homophobia, death

Framed Narratives/Stories

Framed narratives are basically a story within a story. Common examples of this are the movie “The Princess Bride” and “Titanic”. Both stories have the story of the narrator and the story within.

Another example is Stranger Things itself. When we see the boys playing Dungeons and Dragons, they are creating a story within a story.

Sometimes, framed narratives are nested, meaning multiple layers of storytelling. An example of this would be the movie “Inception”. In that movie there are dreams within dreams within dreams… It’s a complex but fascinating way to tell stories.

Now, I do think Stranger Things is also a nested narrative story. Meaning, there may be a layer of a story that hasn’t been revealed to us yet (or more than one).

Basically I’m saying: the show itself may be a story created by some of the characters.

I’m guessing two characters in particular. Which two characters? The two most associated with creating stories. The writer and artist. Two of the characters that have existed since the show’s inception.

Mike and Will.

Multiple Universes

I do think there are multiple timelines/universes within Stranger Things… but it’s not exactly what you think. It’s not parallel universes/timelines. They do not exist parallel to each other, they exist within each other.

This is the reason for the “memory within a memory”, “play within a play” references.

It’s a story within a story within a story.

While Mike and Will are creating their DnD campaigns, there is another version of Mike and Will creating the story we see within the show.

Let’s break it down:

Inner layer: Mike and Will’s characters existing within a DnD campaign

Middle layer: Mike and Will within the show creating the DnD campaign

Outer layer: Mike and Will creating the story of the show

Mike and Will’s story within the frame (the outer layer) likely does share a lot in common with the story within the show, with one major difference:

There’s no Upside Down, and no supernatural elements. No superpowers, and no superheroes. There are still monster(s) and heroes, but these monsters and heroes are real.

Living on as “Heroes”

Ever notice the association between characters being referred to as “a hero” after facing their demise?

We have seen this time and time again. It’s not a coincidence, it’s a pattern.

Love for horror and escapism

@threemanoperation has a great post on Will’s love for horror.

It makes perfect sense for a boy like Will to enjoy horror. It can be a great way to process trauma and grief.

We also know even from the earliest descriptions for Mike and Will’s characters that they both love to “escape” into fantasy. They do this together, through DnD.

Gods/Puppet Masters/Creators

Within the show, there are many subtle nods to Will and Mike somehow controlling/manipulating things. These hints have lead to many interesting theories about Mike and/or Will having powers. In a sense, they both are absolutely right! But if this theory is correct, their influence over the show is mainly due to them creating it. They’re the authors, so in a way, they’re both “Gods”.

Solving the “Letter to Willy”/Lettergate puzzle

"Letter to Willy" is a song that plays over three different scenes within ST4. Each scene involves regrets, and survivor's guilt.

Max mourns Billy and reads out her letter "before it's too late" aka before she dies too.

Mike and Will have a heart-to-heart and Mike expresses guilt over El leaving, thinking there was more he could have done. This occurs while they are burying a dead man's body.

Dustin tells Eddie's uncle that Eddie died a hero, despite what the town thought.

This all leads back to Mike and Will within the story's outer layer. This also connects with the writer's incomplete letter they posted years ago on Twitter. I'll get back to this.

A father infecting his child

Oh boy. I hate this part but it requires context so…

Hopper admits to indirectly causing the death of his daughter, Sarah. He had been exposed to Agent Orange which led to his daughter developing cancer at a young age. He has remorse and has been grieving Sarah this whole time.

Now, Hopper is a decent guy and father, and is written as an almost “fix it” version of Mike and Will’s own fathers. He isn’t perfect, but he’s a man who strives to grow and improve himself.

Papa, is not a decent guy, and we also see him injecting El and Henry with needles.

So, what I’m saying is that this may be a hint to what happened to Will (in the 99/100 timeline). Lonnie is hinted to be a drug user, and it wouldn’t be far fetched to say he may have used IV drugs. Exposure to IV drugs is a way to transmit diseases, as blood may be exchanged through contaminated needles. Also, Lonnie has been hinted at, through subtext, to be a horrible monster. (<- click that link for a post about him.)

The “1/100” Timeline

The show itself is the 1 out of 100 timeline. It is the only one where Will was not kidnapped by his parent/guardian (Lonnie).

This means, it is the one where none of the tragic stuff ever happened, specifically to Will and Mike’s story at least. They may encounter challenges, but nothing they cannot overcome together, as a team.

1983: The Demogorgon got Will. He survives the horrors done to him in the Upside Down… but barely. He is taken to the hospital and heals from it all, including flu-like symptoms (cough, nausea/vomiting).

1984: Will suffers from flashbacks. He is also plagued with the nickname “Zombie Boy” and suffering from the Mind Flayer’s possession of him. But with the love of his family, and Mike, is able to return back to his reality.

1985: He then begins to struggle with the pressures of growing up, and having to move away. Plus the Mind Flayer returns and reeks more havoc.

1986: He then moves to a pleasant place. Where things are sunny and warm. Things on the surface seem happy and “normal” but there’s a looming threat hidden beneath the surface. Henry/1/Vecna. This opportunistic threat preys on the weak and begins to take over Hawkins.

1987-1989: Will is back in Hawkins and his ties to the Upside Down increase. He can’t shake it off as easily as before. He also can’t shake off his love for Mike, who grows even closer to him. One thing leads to another and they become lovers (they have sex). They eventually are able to stop the contamination of Hawkins, and save everyone. Will also realizes that he has developed superpowers from his time in the Upside Down, through his blood. Mike also develops superpowers, given to him by Will.

Okay… you might understand where I’m going with this but I still must warn you before reading the next part. It’s devastatingly tragic.

The “99/100” Timeline

(I’m probably wrong on some of these details but this is what I theorize thus far):

1983: Lonnie “got” Will (CSA). Will survives the horrors done to him by his father… but barely. He is taken to the hospital and heals from it all and from flu-like symptoms (cough, nausea/vomiting).

1984: Will suffers from flashbacks. He is also plagued with the nickname “Zombie Boy” and suffering from the flashbacks of his father’s possession of him. But with the love of his family, and Mike, is able to return back to reality.

1985: He then begins to struggle with the pressures of growing up. Plus the memories of Lonnie return and reek more havoc.

1986: Things on the surface seem happy and “normal” but there’s a looming threat hidden beneath the surface. HIV -> AIDS. Opportunistic infections slowly begin to prey on Will.

1987-?: Will can’t shake off colds and infections as easily as before. He also can’t shake off his love for Mike, who grows even closer to him. One thing leads to another and they become lovers (they have sex). Will soon discovers he has HIV/AIDS, which he had transmitted to Mike. Devastated by the news, they do everything they can to fight it together. They cope through creating a DnD campaign together to process everything they’ve gone through. They play DnD in Mike’s basement until Will’s condition becomes critical. Will is forced to stay in the hospital, while Mike is unable to visit (strict rules about visitation due to the disease and because they aren’t/cannot be considered legal partners). So, Mike does the only thing he can do: he writes letters to Will and continues the story. Mike eventually loses Will, for real this time. He’s devastated, and plagued with grief, depression, and survivor’s guilt. He didn’t complete their story in time. But his family and friends support him and encourage him to finish the story. To change the ending before his time runs out too. He completes their story himself, and reads his final letter to Will’s grave.

“anyway I think you’ll like [the ending]. sorry I couldn’t get it done [on time] but you mean so [much to me] and it’s been [so hard being without you] hope this is [enough to] last until [we meet again]. Love, [Mike].”

Attached to this letter is the full campaign. The full story of the show itself, which started on November 6th, 1983. He successfully turned back the clock, and changed their ending. They became superheroes within their story, saving Hawkins with their love. Mike dies soon after and we are met with…

Mike and Will reuniting within their own story. Blue meeting yellow at a gate, one final time, that leads “into the west”.

They continue their story and it’s a never ending story… Living on as heroes, forever and ever.

Some thoughts:

To simplify things, I didn’t include other characters much here but they likely all play an important role in the story. Many characters likely only exist within the mid layer (the 1/100 timeline).

I do think their story likely will be published, and this will be done by another character (my guess is Lucas). Their story will impact others profoundly, perhaps completely altering perspectives. This will lead towards positive change, and increase pressure for the development of a “cure”.

Lonnie obviously dies too, but we won’t see it. He’s significant but irrelevant. We don’t need to see him. Perhaps he rots in jail.

If characters like Nancy, Jonathan, Joyce, and Hopper all exist within the outer layer (the 99/100 timeline) in a similar way, they too may be inflicted with HIV/AIDS. Remember, it wasn’t just gay men, everyone was affected by this awful epidemic.

The time period is super relevant in this story. There’s no way that HIV/AIDS will not play an important role. Think about it… it revolves around two gay boys growing up during that time. This epidemic was widespread and terrifying. Had they been born a decade later, there would have been treatments/“cures” accessible to them.

The biggest reason why I strongly believe this theory is because… this is basically the ending of Stranger Things season 1, on a much grander scale. Think about it. Mike changed the ending of the DnD campaign so Will could be a hero, not a victim. This was further established in the comics.

While Mike and Will within the outer layer (99/100) have a tragic ending, Mike and Will within the show (1/100) do not. They beat the odds. Although it is undeniably a tragic end, remember that somewhere out there Mike and Will are still playing DnD and Nintendo for the rest of their lives.

Free Will and Writing your Own Ending

Free will has always been a reoccurring theme within Stranger Things; meaning we can choose our own destiny, fight chance, and beat the odds.

Do we truly have free will though? Obviously, we don’t know. The point is, we should still live life as if we do have it. To take control where we can, and not let external forces dictate who we are and what our destiny is. I think that’s the message there.

[carnage-cathedral]

gotta imagine the casting discussion around Ackles coming on to The Boys had to be something like Kripke being like "welcome back Jensen. you get to say 'fuck' this time"

[ihaveanaversiontodecisions]

okay I am not involved in the current call out drama personally but it's made its way to my Twitter feed and im so genuinely confused because have none of you interacted with fandom before?

yes, the jrwi boys explicitly stated that there is a hard boundary against rpf about them and that they do not want to be shown nsfw art/ fics of their characters. these are reasonable boundaries to have, and they should 1000% be respected.

HOWEVER: they also explicitly said that they could not stop people and they're RIGHT. fandom is, at its core, weird. people write weird, gross, and even immoral shit all of the time. thats what tagging systems, scrolling, or blocking fan creators is for. for example: i really hate arthur being shipped with either of the twins or the twins being shipped together. i think its gross. so i exclude tags, and i scroll. its that easy! weird stuff will always exist on the internet, and nsfw works in the jrwi tag have some of the highest hits. many people read and write these things casually, and that isn't inherently wrong.

it's completely understandable that the jrwi guys dont want to see the characters that they put pieces of themselves into in nsfw situations. SO don't show them!!! as a general rule, you should not be showing, @ing, or sending creators of any media your fanwork, especially if it's suggestive or gorey. THAT is what a boundary looks like. fandom is not for creators anyways, and involving them in it tends to break many creators boundaries, even in more innocent situations (as a general pattern I've observed)

the person who made the call out post is a minor. they are likely steeped deeply in purity culture and have not interacted with fandom much. HOWEVER, calling specific people out by name is not a cool move. these are not bad people. they aren't being bigoted or doing harmful things irl or in the community, and their fan content is relatively harmless as well. they are simply creating things that people feel uncomfortable with on a personal level, and instead of blocking or scrolling, people have decided that they are morally bad people. and that's just... wrong?

sorry about this rant but writing "weird" or "gross" things is not a cancelable offense; it's a part of being in fandom. I am begging anyone who is genuinely upset by this to click on a supernatural or mha tag on ao3 and scroll for 3 seconds. I promise people writing correctly tagged gore or porn that will never be seen by people who don't want to see it is not the end of the world.

love you to the people who got called out and have been getting hate anons if you see this. yall are cool as hell

Jared Padalecki Joins ‘Fire Country’ For Guest Arc That Could Lead To New Franchise Offshoot

EXCLUSIVE: Jared Padalecki is returning to series television. The former Supernatural star, coming off a four-season run as the lead of Walker, has been tapped for a three-episode arc on the upcoming third season of CBS‘ hit drama series Fire Country, headlined and executive produced by Max Thieriot.

He will play Camden, a SoCal firefighter and maverick with a surfer swagger who is a force to be reckoned with and immediately recognizes Bode’s (Thieriot) raw talent.

The deal with Fire Country producer CBS Studios is strictly for the recurring role, sources said. Given Padalecki’s status as a popular leading man with two hit series under his belt, I hear there is a possibility for the guest stint to lead to a new spinoff headlined by him that would join the upcoming Sheriff Country.

Sources stress that the idea is still in its nascent stages. And similarly to the NCIS franchise, which originated on CBS and has generated four domestic offshoots on the network but has also expanded into streaming with the latest spinoff, NCIS: Tony & Ziva (as well as the streaming/broadcast NCIS: Sydney), a new Fire Country spinoff could be for broadcast or streaming. Reps for CBS and CBS Studios declined comment.

Fire Country, which was the most watched new broadcast series in its freshman season, was quickly identified by the CBS leadership as a potential franchise anchor that could spawn multiple spinoffs.

“We are focused on mass-appeal franchises,” CBS President and CEO George Cheeks said in June 2023. “This season’s number one show was Fire Country, which completely lends itself to building out a whole new universe… It became very clear that not only was the show special, it really felt like this could be a great example of us building together a franchise from scratch.”

The first Fire Country spinoff, the Morena Baccarin-starring Sheriff Country, which started off as a planted spinoff episode on the mothership series this past season, was recently picked up to series for 2025-26.

Keeping Padalecki in the fold has been a priority for CBS Studios following the end of its CW drama Walker, on which he was star and executive producer, leading to creating the opportunity for him on Fire Country. Walker was canceled for financial reasons despite being the network’s most watched series.

Fire Country averages more than 10 million viewers per episode in multi-platform viewing. (Live+35-day on Paramount + and CBS TVE)

Season 1 became available on Netflix in the US August 1 and has already reached #3 in the streamer’s daily rankings. This is an additional domestic streaming window for Fire Country whose first two seasons are on Paramount+. It is designed to give the show additional exposure ahead of its Oct. 18 Season 3 premiere on CBS.

From creators and executive producers Tony Phelan, Joan Rater and Thieriot, inspired by Thieriot’s experiences growing up in Northern California, the series follows Bode Donovan (Thieriot), a young convict seeking redemption and a shortened prison sentence by joining a prison release firefighting program in Northern California, which sends him back to his hometown.

Billy Burke, Kevin Alejandro, Diane Farr, Stephanie Arcila, Jordan Calloway and Jules Latimer also star. Tia Napolitano, who also serves as showrunner, executive produces alongside Jerry Bruckheimer and KristieAnne Reed of Jerry Bruckheimer Television.

Since the end of Walker, Padalecki also has discussed a role on the upcoming fifth and final season of Prime Video’s The Boys, developed and executive produced by Supernatural creator Eric Kripke. He is repped by UTA, Industry Entertainment and Fuller Law.

the representation of women on the boys is like…not good but there’s so much of it. and it’s all clumsy social commentary that could only be written by the guy who created supernatural. it has the vibes of a student who failed a gender studies 101 class last semester and is overcompensating in the retake class. there’s so many creators with a history of misogyny writing new works that are basically them saying “i’m listening and learning.” but also being overly self conscious about it to point that they’d make a post like this one.

[dollsanddandy]

Okay I know everyone is freaking out and I don’t want to add fuel to the fire or anything but this is not red or pink or blue, it’s purple. More magenta but purple nonetheless. I am going to repeat one more time, nobody freak out, this is only speculation and the fact this leak was so out in the open seems like a red herring so take my thoughts with a grain of salt.

Eleven likes purple. Purple is Eleven’s color. Now, I see four possibilities for this:

Eleven did, in fact, die and while in mourning or with her on his mind, Mike is wearing her color, purple. Doesn’t necessarily mean Mileven canon, but maybe Mike feels guilty that he wasn’t truly in love with her due to his love for Will if Byler canon. Maybe the scene with Hopper is him learning to accept it wasn’t his fault and he’s okay to move on with his life and be with Will. This would be a believable ending for Byler. They finally get together after this talk and Mike lets go of the guilt and trauma from feeling like whatever happened to Eleven was due to his dishonesty. He is free and he loves Will and he can’t waste the rest of his life feeling sorry about this. He has to love the boy he loves instead of pushing him away. Avoiding your love for someone hurts those around you and he just has to love.

Mileven endgame. There has been a rumor that she likely survived Season 5. I am unsure how true this is, but from a narrative standpoint, Eleven should not be forced to die for the plot. It would be so so unfair for her to die before she got to explore who she is and what she wants for her life. I would hate that for her, but even so with Mileven canon I see two other possibilities:

We unfortunately receive a comphet storyline, which would make sense for the era, but would be so heart-wrenchingly tragic. Mike looks very down in the pictures they’ve taken. He looks unhappy and he has admitted defeat to heteronormativity and conformity. Now, I want you to walk with me through this thought and line of thinking and I promise I have a point. Today I showed my boyfriend the “I know what Mike said to Eleven” joke video. His first response was Karen does not have a girlfriend. He then jokingly added that if Ted had a boyfriend it’d be way funnier and we’d like him more. However, as I’m typing this at nearly 2 AM, Ted is character who has been around since the beginning of the series and has had no real significance, so what is his purpose? What if Ted’s character is a comphet story? Nancy states in Season 1 that Karen and Ted ended up conforming by merely marrying to create their nuclear family. Ted seems to show zero interest in his wife sexually or in any way at all in any of the seasons. He also is the one who makes homophobic allusions and remarks in Season 1 & 2. Now, I know that homophobia doesn’t mean that a character is internalizing it and they are gay, but what I am saying is that Mike “looks” (Tyler, the Creator reference) like Ted. There has been a recurring theme of breaking the cycle especially when it comes to fathers or father figures. Mike is gay, but what if he continues the cycle? What if Mike is the one character that doesn’t break the cycle? He becomes a repeat of his father, unhappy with his marriage, but he does it to conform like Ted. This is a norm in the 80s, unfortunate but true. The scene with Hopper is him telling Mike he has his blessing and he knows Mike is a good kid and will take care of Eleven. We see Will end up happily married to another man and Mike is torn about what could have been. A tragic ending, but believable.

Mileven is just endgame. They survive Season 5 and without supernatural crap they are able to actually grow as a couple. Mike is wearing purple and somewhere Eleven is wearing blue. Byler doesn’t happen, who knows where that leaves Will?

The third possibility I see is a continuation of the first possibility of Mileven endgame except it’s not endgame. Instead, let’s take this idea and drag it a little further. Through the lens of Byler, this would be a nightmare for Mike. His greatest fear is being unable to confess to Will he loves him, being unable to live the life he actually wants. His fear is becoming his comphet father. I believe this could be an illusion of Vecna’s doing. Vecna taunts Mike with what will be if he isn’t truthful. He becomes Ted and that horrifies him. Maybe both Will and Mike are in this Vecna nightmare and the only way they make it out alive is through admitting their feelings for one another and not conforming to societal norms. This would make sense to me as the epilogue being a time jump to graduation just feels wrong. This has to be an illusion.

My final theory? It’s just a purple shirt.

Please use at max two hashtags on Twitter. The app decreases the reach of tweets with too many hashtags, you can use as many as you want on Tumblr though. Also, please refrain from creating more hashtags because if it splits then the posts will have more difficulty to trend. Use more of them, everytime you tweet about Dead Boy Detectives, even if you don't think it's important to use, the hashtags have been trending less in the last few days.

•Atracting more fans:

Usually when people see other people speaking angrily about their shows getting canceled, while 100% comprehensible, people tend to ignore. It's easier to attract more fans if you show that the show is cool, even if it's just a marketing strategy.

Netflix receives messages like this all the time and unhappily they ignore it. But people that don't know the show might get interested if they see the trailer, an edit, a synopsis or something similar, remember to use the hashtags ( #DeadBoyDetectives and #SaveDeadBoyDetectives ). It also is a good idea to probably type something else when mentioning DBD on Twitter and Instagram and not just the hashtags, so it won't be read as spam.

By the way, talking about promoting the show, Ali Plumb, a famous interviewer, posted asking about underrated shows recently, it's a opportunity to coment about Dead Boy Detectives, but remember to focus on it and be respectul instead of talking bad about Netflix. The post's link:

•Fucusing on Netflix:

I would recomend foucusing on Netflix for contractual reasons, since it's easier for it to give on on the cancelation than another company buying it.

[sterlingarcher23]

5 colors, 6 cubes... and "Papa" looks like El?

And now some random, not so random thoughts about this:

I mean why does Papa look like El? Maybe....maybe because this isn't Brenner? (And, yes, I put in the 5 and 6 into the image.)

But it's this? A big and small version - probably we have to mirror it as well.

"I could be your zoomer." - "This is Max.":

Superficial it looks as if labeling the character on the right side of El's drawing "Papa" points to Brenner because we're used to Brenner been called that way (like Brenner’s lines about One seem! to point only to Vecna) but it's very typical that you find double or triple meanings in this show. (Btw I think these parallels connects Max to Brenner in another way - look for a "Science Monster" in Season 2.) I mean that drawing of "Papa" doesn't even remotely look like Brenner. Not even close! It looks like an older version of El.

5 colors of the rainbow, 6 cubes. 5 6

And this is were things get interesting.

A girl who is constantly mistaken for a boy and is also trans coded....

LBT (LgBTq). In. Her. Brain.

So, maybe "Papa" is more...um "Mama"? (Um, yeah, I had the same thought it looks like there's ...sperm?) which explains why we see both in this scene. How could El even remember her birth? She's not a Vulcan. This scene is - imo - only a metaphor for the creation of an alter in the mind. "A brilliant kaleidoscope of colors." (script) The connection to Brenner and Terry has probably a different reason - I have some ideas.

Parallel: El screams, Zoomer comes out? - The dog barks and Max comes out.

Um, wait then this is 'DOG'?

(btw El has a drawing of a dog looking up to a rainbow in her room - you see it when Hopper comes into the room who mistook Max as Mike - "Mike isn't here". (Also a subtle pattern btw that things seem to point to Mike. But it isn't about him. It's not Mileven. It's ElMax!)

And if El is DOG, then who is GOD? (Fallout New Vegas gamers may get this DOG / GOD reference.) - 011/Hospital room number 110? - DOG/GOD?

"If I only could make a deal with God." - whoever creates you is your god:

Just saying.

Oh and don't forget what Maxine....sorry, what Max said:

Yes, a metaphor. Although the lines between what they mean literally and what's a metaphor are sometimes a bit blurry in this show.

Creating an alter makes you that alters creator, a father/mother figure in a figurative way, or metaphorically speaking a god. Alters can be in love with one another too. And I like to remind you that "Eleven" is officially based on a character that has DID. I could even name several symptoms of DID that Max shows: blurry vision, depression, suicidal tendencies, feeling detached from your body, able to create/manipulate an inner world (so she's a specific kind of alter)

In other words: they use these characters/elements to tell us the backstory of ElMax metaphorically. Why? Because then it's not a deus ex machina in 5 but a plot that was carefully planned, crafted and dangling in front of you for years. You rewatch the whole thing and "It was directly in front of me."

And I don't expect them to explain a lot of things but reveal the truths and the audience has to put the puzzle pieces of how etc together themselves.

Totally crazy, insane (btw Jamie Campbell Bower called S5 insane), Stranger Things is just pure entertainment....

Symbolism, metaphors, allegories is normal in fiction. And they tell us this straight into our faces with that vampire reference. (so is the Jekyll & Hyde, the Teen Wolf/Werewolf and Frankenstein's monster. Basically all important Universal monsters in one show. I kid you not. It's in the show.)

Superficially it's just a entertaining supernatural TV show and you can enjoy it that way, but I think the layers below that are more like, I dunno, Silent Hill or Alan Wake? This stuff is in parts totally bonkers. I mean really bonkers including a musical scene with real actors in Alan Wake 2. No idea what these guys are smoking. - Btw allegedly the Duffers are the kind of nerds that like stuff like that.

Silent Hill, directed by Christophe Gans.... I really think he should do more films. Crying Freeman, Le pacte des loups 👌Wait, he's making another Silent Hill film? I wanted Onimusha. With Jean Reno.

Or, using a Superman reference: "The son becomes the father and the father.. the son."

So, yeah, you may think that's all crazy. I say: Wait for Season 5.

A compilation of story lines from me and a friend's OC universes

- Boy is 4’9”. His height is one of the less interesting things about him. He eats a price tag, dies, has his corpse turn into a completely different living being, and then years later he gets reincarnated as a sentient pastry

- Basically a Space Demigod forms a cult inside of a hijacked spaceship because she has mommy issues. She forcibly indoctrinates three people specifically so they can narrate a true crime podcast because she got bored. She is also a cloud the size of a semitruck if not taller

- Homosexual swedish guy keeps eating his coworker, who's functionally immortal. They're gay and make out on the job. His coworker is going crazy because of both this and daily exposure to possibly supernatural radiowaves.

- Literal daughter of Satan has daddy issues and severe trauma. Gets adopted by two lesbian furries after an incident with one lesbian furry and grows up into a butch.

- Ourple Scientist dates witch, said scientist tries to keep proving the witch is wrong about magic being real. They are probably both technically right

- Bald British Man from Space who used to be the 4’9” guy from before begins seeing one of his coworkers. Said coworker is thrown off the spaceship the British Man and the other Weird Blind Space People live on, and now lives in a radio tower in the middle of the woods. Bald British Man is fine with this

- Computer virus is created via a corrupt, lost children’s computer game. Becomes angry and vengeful after learning what Reddit is. Severely maims and possesses its creator, feels bad about it, and now simply makes his life a living hell.

- Living doll is created as a friend for a little girl and through Wish Magic, comes to life. Local villagers are not happy. They proceed to chase him out of said village with fire. Doll runs into the woods. He is now looking for said little girl.

- Terminally ill girl makes a character concept. Character comes to life, but girl dies before it gets finished. Character doesn't know she's dead and thinks she abandoned it. It is Angy and also hates itself because it's unknowingly transfem.

- Axolotl demon from my nightmares gets born in a hotel. Feeds off the literal sin of greed, among other things, and becomes even more nightmarish because of it. It proceeds to kill, mutilate, and technically possess/revive the hotel’s staff. It also has asthma symptoms when not submerged in water, which is all of the time.

- Sentient Rock can turn people into mannequins by looking at them for long enough. He exploits this and forms a cult in Roblox. He has been successful in this venture for decades. He is now being hunted down by a furry

- Man is a successful actor. Wife divorces him, he tries to overdose on magical pills but instead turns into what has been dubbed a Goober. He's finally somewhat happy with life and spent most of the day napping on the laps of those who live with him.

- High roller loses all his money, becomes a cult leader, then gets his eyes stolen by the one he was worshipping. Gets so pissed that he teams up with his mortal enemies to kill God.

[lab-trash]

hi!! aplogies if this is pushing but i really really really love your michie fic titled “H̶e̶r̶” and i was wondering if you’re planning on updating it at some point?? no pressure i just love the premise a lot and i am HOOKED

[also i really hope i have the right blog lol]

Okay, so first off. Right blog? Yes and no? I am the person who wrote Her, but this is more of my... sci-fi, supernatural blog? Which I suppose NPMD could key into, but it's much more sitcoms and movies. (Also just my personal rants, vents and other bullshit)

That being said, I've gotten a confused person looking for my musical theatre blog enough times that I definitely should create a pinned post including my other blogs.

My musical theatre blog, for future reference, is @im-not-a-l0ser . Very fitting if you ask me ^-^

Anyway! About your question! I do plan on updating it at some point, I just don't know when that point will be. Something that keeps me on top of my stories is writing chapters in advance so I don't get burnout. Example, I'm writing Beanies right now and there are nine chapters posted. Chapter 10 is complete, but I haven't yet finished chapter 11, so I'm not posting Chapter 10, and Chapter 11 won't be out until Chapter 12 is complete. (This also allows me to double-post chapters when I'm finishing a book, although this has not actually happened yet.)

I did not start doing this until after starting Her. I'm stuck with Her, because I don't know what direction I'm going into, and I don't know where to start. Also doesn't help that my parents were never formally divorced (they have 6 kids and had been married for over 20 years by the time they separated; can't blame them) so I really don't know anything about the process. I know it's long and gruelling and stuff, but I don't know how quickly I'd be able to just gloss over it. But I suppose maybe Gary Goldstein (Attorney At Law) is a good enough lawyer to get it wrapped up real quick lol.

I understand that Her is more of an angst and trans-comfort gold mine, but feel free to take a peak into my other books, which are updated slightly more frequently, such as Beanies or Zeek: The Fighting Nighthawk. Beanies is more building friendship secretly between them, while Zeek: The Fighting Nighthawk has them becoming friends with one under false identity (obviously, that's Zeek.) Beanies does also include the same character being trans, but it's not a major plot/talking point (yet). I really appreciate the support, I'm just going to be very busy between planning for pride and writing for Beanies (I have a trio of chapters coming out that I want to get out of the way before I pick up something else; I don't want burnt out on this before I even finish the pride event stories.)

If you want something of mine that's complete, I have a handful of one-shots, such as Dance with Death (spoilers for Workin' Boys and Abstinence Camp), Max Jagerman's Socks, r/TrueOffMyChest (you can actually find some backstory for that on my blog under an ask @/24-guy sent in), and Max Jagerman's Private Story.

I also have an ongoing porn saga but we're not gonna talk about that right now

Hi! If you follow me for LREF, Stranger Things, It, etc. and you for some reason read this whole thing. You should totally go watch the Hatchetfield musicals! If you like musicals (some people don't lmao)

If you're interested, they have a rich lore, many meta-jokes, and a currently active fandom which you might enjoy (looking at you LREF fandom. That is to say, like six people.)

If you are interested, it's The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals, Black Friday, and Nerdy Prudes Must Die. They're all free on YouTube, recorded by the creators and they're all absolutely fantastic IMO. Watch them in that order though! If you don't, you'll be really confused! This is a trilogy (kinda), the world is the same (kinda), the previous shows give context for world building and jokes.

If you do watch them, please please come talk to me about it over on @im-not-a-l0ser . I do highly recommend blocking the tags though before you've finished them. Spoilers can happen really easily, and when it comes to Hatchetfield, something that might seem small or insignificant (or maybe just extremely confusing) probably means something pretty big overall.

(Ps, there's also a 'mini series' called Nightmare Time. It definitely gives some context and it expands upon Hatchetfield as a whole, but it's not technically necessary to watch. I'm not gonna force anyone to watch it, just because there's so goddamn much of it.)

Lemures Blue at 2.a.m Creator’s Interview

This interview was taken from the Lemures Blue art book. The translation was done by this lovely person. I don’t own the translation or interview don’t re blog without crediting the original owners. be sure to supports the creators by buying this book. This interview contains major spoilers for the game, If you haven’t played the game I recommend not to read. if you do read at your own risk. you had been warned

Creator Interview

I have created a spectral explanation survey, and I will answer the questions we received.. Thank you to everyone who replied to the survey!

Q. Which route was the easiest to write?

Itsuki’s route. His primary principle was clearly stated to be the guilt he felt towards Shinnosuke, so I think it was the easiest to sympathize with as he strived for repentance. Also, thanks to Itsuki’s supernatural powers, Aoi can go more places, like the city.

Q. Which route was the hardest to write?

Hinata and Aoi’s route, easily. I wasn’t sure about Hinata’s motivation, or how he would help Aoi. I hadn’t decided on Hinata’s personality for quite a while...

Q. Which character was the easiest to write?

Sakura. He’s pretty easy to understand as a character. He speaks and acts like he always has Aoi’s best interests in mind. But there’s more to him than that. His father not accepting him is also easy to sympathize with.

Q. Which character was the hardest to write?

Aoi. I didn’t want him to sound repetitive, so I had to work very hard to avoid that. Also, he’s a ghost, so he’s limited on how much he’s able to do.

Q. Do you have a favorite character, or one you’re attached to?

Everyone has their own opinions, but if you ask me... I would have to say Aoi. I both hate him and love him... He’s a monster, and yet we empathize with him, we think about how we can save him.

Q. Which character in Lemures Blue is the most similar to you?

!?!? Some people said I was like Aoi, but I asked my friends who know about my obsession with him, and they said I wasn’t like Aoi. Maybe I’m like Sakura then, since he’s obsessed with Aoi too.

Q. What’s your favorite route?

For me, it’s Itsuki’s route. Unlike the other two, he has no history with Aoi. They were complete strangers, but once he met Aoi, Itsuki’s life slowly fell apart. Sakura and Hinata had deep connections with Aoi, but Itsuki’s never had to be involved. That’s what I like most about it. I also like the idea of the two of them being alone in the world. Or maybe it’s just because I concentrated too hard on Hinata and Sakura during production that I naturally gravitate toward Itsuki...

Q. What are your favorite scenes in each route?

In Sakura’s route, there’s two scenes: the scene where he spreads blueberries on Aoi’s body, and the one where the two sing together. For the first one, I was aiming for it to be a sickening scene. And for the other one, the music by TownHall was fantastic! I playtested it a lot.

For Itsuki’s route, it’s the train ride scene. It’s the only route that has the characters contrast with the people of the city. I really liked the idea of the two boys alone together in the middle of the night among the adults. In the Hinata/Aoi route, it’s the scene with Hinata running. I tried my best to make it feel animated. Animation is about breathing life into things that can’t move on their own, and I wanted to do that for Hinata. I was so happy when I played through that scene.

Q. What is your favorite ending?

Perfect Dystopia from Hinata/Aoi’s route. Aoi becomes a terror on the world once he enters high school. He believes that people dying at fourteen would be a benefit to society. Fourteen years old is the limit until people become unpredictable. Also, I think Akane Aoi is a good name... I think it fits him well as a high school student.

Q. How long does it take to make an illustration?

30 minutes for the sketch, 20 minutes for the line art, 3 hours to color, and 30 minutes of rendering. So about 5 hours, roughly.

Q. Did you do the line art by hand?

Yes. I use a Pentel Graph 600 mechanical pencil.

Q. Which illustrations were the hardest to draw?

The illustration of Sakura in Chapter 3 and the one of Hinata running in Chapter 12. For Hinata, it was simply a lot of work to do. For Sakura, it was difficult overcoming my own shame.

Q. What do you focus on the most when drawing?

I don’t focus on anything in particular. Maybe the colors?

Q. How did you come up with the story?

It began with the idea of the main character meeting a mysterious boy and wondering if he’s a ghost, only to find out that they were a ghost themselves. And then I expanded it from there. In Lemures Blue, there was a truth that had to be revealed, so I focused on foreshadowing and false leads. I’m not that good at writing a story, so I write isolated scenes when they come to me and find some way to connect them. I drew the artwork first and created the story around that, which isn’t exactly common. Otherwise, I wrote down questions I had in my notebook and tried to answer them.

Q. Did you model the characters after anything? Any sort of motifs?

I didn’t have any motifs in mind, other than the color scheme— blue, red, yellow, green. I also pulled from the characters from other projects. Aoi’s face was meant to resemble a creepy avatar character, for example. I didn’t model the characters off of anything in particular, but I am aware that Aoi and Hinata resemble characters from Evangelion. I was hoping to create a false lead with Hinata resembling Kaworu.

Q. What works influenced you?

For Lemures Blue, I was most influenced by the works of Nisio Isin, Otsuichi, and Ikuji’s works. I was exposed to Nisio Isin in a very emotional period in my life, and while I’m not directly

influenced by his works, they definitely influence the basis of my projects. Characters, settings, wordplay... It all comes back to him. My desire to do a “I was really a ghost this whole time!” twist was largely influenced by Nisio Isin and Otsuichi. I really wanted to do something like Utena, but I couldn’t at all... I think the concept of searching after a specific foreign item came from Penguindrum.

Q. What works inspired you?

I was inspired a lot by the music of Ling tosite Sigure. I remember being on the train, trying desperately to think of characters and plot concepts. I was always listening to Ling tosite Sigure on my iPod. I personally think the charm of their music is the sense of gravity in the performance, almost like the song is folding in on itself, as well as the lyrics which desperately try to depict TK’s thoughts but ultimately can’t. I especially love the grief and pain from his screams; that thought of heartbreak formed the ideal image of Aoi. In addition to Ling tosite Sigure, I’m inspired by a lot of other music.

Q. Were the characters an homage to The Heart of Thomas? (Aoi →Thomas, Hinata → Erich, Sakura → Juli, Itsuki → Oskar, etc.)

When I first thought of this game as a BL game, I immediately thought of The Heart of Thomas. Or I think my view of BL has been defined by Heart of Thomas... It wasn’t until I was nearly done that I realized the characters were almost one to one. If Aoi is Thomas and Sakura is Yuri, then the phrase “I’ll give my heart to you” is very appropriate. It might be surprising, but I didn’t intend it at all! That said, I did just read The November Gymnasium. I was surprised to see that the characters still lined up there. Aoi to Thomas, Hinata to Erich, Sakura to Oskar, and Itsuki to the class president.

Q. Is the story set in Hokkaido? Or somewhere else in Japan?

Of course it’s Hokkaido! I’m glad some people picked up on the Star Festival part. I don’t know much about Hokkaido, but cherry blossoms in July would have to be somewhere cold. I haven’t picked a specific location though. Somewhere next to the sea and a forest, and relatively close to the city. So, somewhere near Sapporo. I initially wanted to set it in Furano, but there’s no sea there... Ideally it’s somewhere near the Sea of Okhotsk, with all the drift ice and sea slugs, but the places around there are too rural to have TV... but it is set in 2033, so maybe it’ll be more urban by then!

Q. If you gave each character a voice actor, who would they be?

I’m not that well versed in voice actors, but... Aoi: I would prefer a female voice actor, for sure. My friend suggested Rie Kugimiya. A soprano voice would work best. Itsuki: A female voice actor that can do a male voice, or a male voice actor with a higher voice. The shriller, the better. Hinata: I don’t have anyone in mind for him. My friend said Jun Fuyukama, and while I’m not familiar with him, he seems to be a good pick. Sakura: Anyone. No real preference.

Q. Who is seme and who is uke?

All of the characters could easily be seme or uke. I hope people don’t worry about it too much.

That said, the original concept was for Aoi to be seme to everyone, but with Hinata he’s uke. But now I just go with how I’m feeling in the moment. (Also, my views on seme/uke are very different from the rest of the world, so don’t take anything I say as fact.)

Q. The piano is important to the story, but have you ever played one?

I used to play the piano in kindergarten, and the keyboard in middle school. I’m a bit out of practice these days, though.

Q. When did you come up with the April Fool’s joke?

It was around the middle of March. I may have had the idea sometime before then. It’s frustrating for it to be called a shonen-ai game even though it’s a BL game, so I made it in order to show what BL is really like (lol).

Q. Why did you start making games?

I was inspired by playing lots of other games. I’ve always wanted to put my creativity to use, but I’m not very good at manga or writing. But with games, it’s just illustrations and dialogue! I felt it was the best fit for me. In fact, I enjoy being able to use music in games as well.

Q. What made you want to make Lemures Blue?

It all started with the idea of a plot twist. I made a 30-minute long game in order to test it out. I had no idea it would become this big.

Q. What message did you want to convey with this game?

It’s in Chapter 12, where Hinata and Aoi are shouting near the ocean. Like I wrote in the commentary, I want people to appreciate themselves... even a little. It’s a bit embarrassing…

Sex education, the 4th and last season

Spoilers ahead!!

First, Hannah Gadsby! A very welcomed and fun addition to the cast.

I also liked how Adam's dad is trying to better himself, and creating a relationship with his son. That was pretty touching.

The last episode made me cry like a baby. Very emotional scenes. I liked the funeral earlier in the season too for that reason.

But a teacher throwing a student's phone out of the window? That was the biggest wtf moment of the show.

I didn't care who Otis ends up with at all, but apparently the Maeve vs Ruby love triangle has been creating a LOT of feelings in the fandom. So it was actually kinda cool that he didn't end up with either of them, but I imagine many fans are disappointed.

I would have loved to see more of what classes and teachers were like at the new school. I also missed Ms Sands and Mr Henricks a lot, them being present for a few minutes in one episode wasn't enough.

I don't know what to think about the supernatural events in a show that has had zero of those until S4. Eric's conversations with his god were very interesting but I had preferred for those to stay as just dreams. Eric being able to see into the future was also strange. When everything else that's happening is true to reality but there are suddenly one or two supernatural things, it gives the image that those supernatural things are actually real. But gods don't exist. People can't see into the future. On the other hand, I imagine that those supernatural scenes, with god supporting Eric, were really important for Christian lgbtq people. So I should probably get off my edgy atheist horse for this one 😉

I have seen A LOT of criticism against the diversity of the show too. When many shows are not this one obviously sticks out. It's depressing how many people have a problem with it. The supporting characters could have been more fleshed out though so that they would be more than their identity.

Lastly, I did not get a feeling that the show creators are as good at depicting what teenagers today are like as they used to be in S1&2. Not that I'm an expert either but after working with teenagers, well most of them aren't like the kids in the Cavendish school. The fact that Otis was shamed when people thought he was a "men's rights activist" was sadly hilarious. Most of today's boys look up to misogynists like T*te, and Otis being sexist would only make him popular. Some kids are indeed very progressive (and sometimes, like us adults too, failing at it, like the great scenes that showed how ableist the school still is), but a whole school? That sounds like a fantasy.

My favourite seasons are still 1&2, the third season has its great moments (mostly Eric's as well as Ruby's storylines), but was otherwise with the new principal and abstinece only sex ed just weird. The 4th was a bit better than the 3rd but I missed some of the old characters that weren't present anymore. It was an alright ending to a mostly great show.

Jared Padalecki On Reteaming With Eric Kripke For ‘The Boys’: “The Answer Is Yes”

Jared Padalecki has accepted Eric Kripke‘s invitation to join The Boys.

The Supernatural creator recently spoke about his desire to reunite with Padalecki on his Prime Video series for the fifth and final season. When asked by Deadline whether he was up for the task, the actor didn’t hesitate to say, “The answer is yes.”

“We have talked [about a role]. As a matter of fact, we talked today,” he said. “I think at this point in my acting life, I only want to work on projects that I really care about or with people that I really care about, and obviously Eric and I are indelibly connected forever.”

Padalecki is saying goodbye to his CW series Walker next week, after the series was abruptly canceled in May. The series ran for four seasons and, as star and executive producer, Padalecki has been quite busy with that project.

Now that he’ll have some free time in his schedule, he tells Deadline he’s looking forward to the possibility of reuniting with Kripke.

“I mean, he created Supernatural. He created Sam Winchester. He created Ruby [Genevieve Padalecki], who I ended up marrying and starting a family with,” he continued. “I adore him. I adore his humor. I adore him as a person, his storytelling. So I can’t wait. I don’t think [Season 5] films until next year, but I will be ready when he makes the phone call. I’ll just say ‘Okay, when am I flying out?'”

Padalecki joining The Boys could also mean the door is open for reunion with his Supernatural co-star Jensen Ackles, who was in Season 3 of The Boys as the villain Soldier Boy. He also made an appearance in the spinoff series Gen V. While his character hasn’t officially appeared in Season 4 of the flagship series, it’s always possible that crossover could happen as well.

The arrogant and "Saltless" sons of Isaac versus the humble hospitable s... The arrogant and "Saltless" sons of Isaac versus the humble hospitable sons of Ishmael, the Egyptian. https://youtu.be/tL1JGYgqOpA The Gospel, according to Christ = Satguru Rajinder:- FAITHFUL SONS OF ABRAHAM, “SALT OF THE EARTH” – EGYPTIANS  VS THE “SALTLESS” SONS OF SATAN AL-DJMAR AL-AKSA – JEWS. Saint Abraham had two sons; the Elder Ishmael and the Younger Isaac. The Elder Son Ishmael carried the moral responsibilities of hospitalities to uphold the Noble Name of Abraham whilst the younger one was blessed with spirituality and he became arrogant and unfaithful to Abraham and Yahweh. The story of the two has been told by Christ Jesus in the Parable of the Prodigal Son Isaac. Thus, the people of Ishmael worshipped Adam and had a Hajj site established in honour of Abraham for boys 12 to 16 years old who by this age know their tribal fathers very well. Establishment of one’s covenant with the tribal father “Ilah” lends “HEYA, SHARM, Salt” of your tribal father “Ilah”. Thus, Kaba is the Temple of Adam nothing to do with “Al-Ilah = Allah”, our Supernatural Father Elohim, ParBrahm, Allah, etc. The father of “Ilah” is the demiurge Potter of the visible creation called “SARISHHTI” or Maya. The names of the creator of visible Nature at large are Yahweh, Brahma, Khudah, etc. also called the “Heavenly Father”, Lord of Nature, his creation. Unless you are faithful to your tribal father, you cannot know our Supernatural Father Elohim, Allah, Parbrahm, etc. of our supernatural “souls”. What applies to the flesh, the opposite to our soul. Thus, in the flesh, we have Lord Yahweh whilst in the spirit, we have Father. Lords have slaves as the moral teachers Rabbis had whilst, in Father, we are all “Sons” to inherit the Royal Kingdom of God Elohim and no daughter because the son represents father through “semen” and not the daughter. That is why, we are Fishers of spiritual twice-born men whether in the flesh, the person may be a male or a female. The spirituality went to the younger one Isaac. Thus, Jacob had 12 sons. Out of the 12, only the youngest Joseph was blessed with spirituality whilst the elders especially the eldest Judah became arrogant and liars unfaithful to Jacob. Out of jealousy, the elder ones colluded and sold Joseph as a slave to the Egyptians, the faithful honest sons of Ishmael who honoured him so much that they let him rule the Kingdom. When the “Saltless” Liars and Murderers – John 8v44 needed them, he gave them free and even brought them to Egypt to survive. But the old habits die hard, and their crooked way of life made them slaves to the Egyptians. So, when the Pharaohs became cruel, then Moses, the First Prophet appeared and btought them back faithful to Abraham and Yahweh. The same Barren Land became lush green under the occupation of the faithful sons of Ishmael. Here are some videos on this topic.

[eddiemunson-reader-shame]

How did you choose their name?

Were they created for the story, or was the story created for them?

Do they have a love interest, and was that their choice or yours?

Do they have a best friend? If so, how did they meet? If not, have they ever/why never?

Did they have a pet as a child?

@melodymunson Ily bestie 🥺❤️ thank you for sending me some asks.

1. How did you choose their name?

Funny story actually. The Alejandra part is based on this really sweet girl in my math class from Mexico who used to help me with my homework. The nickname “Allie” is from my tumblr poll. I think it’s really cute alliteration: Allie and Eddie, and I headcanon that Eddie calls her that because he wants to do cute couple shit and matchy matchy with her. He probably calls her Allie Banallie too.

On her jacket, she has an anglicized version of her name, which is “Alexandra”. For obvious reasons (aka period typical racism), Allie will often tell people the anglicized version of her name in Hawkins because it’s easier to pronounce and they won’t immediately give her shitty looks when they hear an “American” name. Some people call her Alex, Lexie (she hates this), Lex (also hates this), but the Hellfire Club boys are the only ones who actually call her Alejandra/Allie.

The surname Perea actually has a funny ass origin story. My dad was a troublemaker jock in high school, so of course he did sneaky shit like use fake IDs to buy liquor. His fake ID name was “Hector Perea”. I always loved that name (and I used to joke that Hector Perea was my real dad). So I used Hector Perea as her dad’s name, so Allie became a Perea because of my dad’s poor high school decision making. 🤣

2. Were they created for the story, or was the story created for them?

The story was created for Allie. Actually, Allie wasn’t at all a part of the Stranger things fandom. Back in 2017, a friend took me to a live showing of Welcome to Night Vale which is a cosmic horror podcast that takes place in a small desert community. I fell in love with Night Vale, and immediately set out to make a self insert character/OC because hey, that’s what the fuck I do.

It’s also common practice to dress up as OCs/self inserts at live shows, so I started making up my own costume design for my OC so I could dress up for the next show. It took me many years, and I had to find the correct pieces I wanted. So I started lurking Pinterest boards and style guides, saving up my money and buying pieces for the costume. I created a character who was obsessed with cryptids and who had some kind of supernatural encounter with aliens.

Allie’s design started off with a Carhartt Santa Fe style jacket, which is a discontinued design that Carhartt never should have gotten rid of. I loved how it looked on a Pinterest cryptid hunter lookbook and I immediately went to eBay to look for one. When I found one, my jacket was super cheap and fully intact compared to the other’s I’d found, but it obviously was a company issue jacket for a trucker because it has a Curtain Side Carriers, LLC. logo on the right breast. The person I bought it from also sent it as is, so there were little odds and ends in the pockets like a lighter, dried corn kernels for some fucking reason, etc.

I really loved the unspoken history behind the jacket. So, I made up a story that this jacket belonged to my “real dad” (Hector Perea) who went missing on the road and all they found of him was his Carhartt with all his valuables still in the pockets. I was also inspired by the character Jack Burton in my favorite movie “Big Trouble in Little China”, as well as “Alice Isn’t Dead” which is another great podcast from the creators of Night Vale. From that jacket, I just made this really elaborate fantasy that maybe the corn was from my real dad going missing in a midwestern crop circle. I really just went with this really elaborate idea at random, and because Stranger Things is in the same vein as Night Vale, I just reused Allie’s story and tweaked it up to match.

I then collected the little odds and ends patches, but stopped around 2020 when the pandemic hit. I didn’t touch my jacket after that and just kinda collected more things here and there, but this year I finally got time to put it together thanks to Stranger Things. I made sure to only add things that were ambiguously timeline themed and relevant to my OC (hence the name patch of her anglicized name), so any “modern” references were limited only to the 80’s time period. The one button on here that probably isn’t really 80’s compliant is the “Talk to me about true crime” button, but I kept it because a lot of famous true crime cold cases we see on television happened in the 80’s.

I would love to do a pin/patch tour sometime, if ever someone is interested.

3. Do they have a love interest, and was that their choice or yours?

Allie does indeed have a love interest: Eddie Munson. That really wasn’t up to her, lmao. I knew of Eddie before I joined the fandom, and I thought he looked pretty cool/hot. I didn’t watch Stranger Things so I didn’t really know who he was until recently.

Seeing Eddie in action was like being teleported to high school all over again. I have mentioned this before to friends, but Eddie is EXACTLY the kind of guy I would have dated in high school. I have always loved heavy metal/hard rock (my dad is a hardcore Ozzy/Alice Cooper fan and got me into them, and my sibling was a Nu Metalhead drummer who used to force me as a young child to learn lyrics from bands like Otep, Static X, and Kittie). And the majority of my boyfriends in high school were heavy metal musicians (I’ve dated two guitarists, and a drummer). So aesthetically and musically, he and I share similar interests.

However, I fell in love with Eddie when I heard the famous “you’re asking me to walk into Mordor”, because my IRL partner is obsessed with Tolkien. We spent an entire week watching the Peter Jackson trilogy/The Hobbit while I was sick, and I loved that time we spent together. Eddie’s nerdy side reminds me so much of my IRL partner, and they have similar goofy antics and have been both misunderstood by people. The more I learned about Eddie, the more I realized he is exactly like the man I’m dating now, and all the little things that made me fall in love with my boyfriend are things I fell in love with about Eddie.

So when it came to Eddie Munson, Allie did not have a goddamn choice.

4. Do they have a best friend? If so, how did they meet?

Obviously Allie will be any other OCs best friend bc I love my moots who have OCs ❤️🥺. But I guess in a “canonical” sense, her best friend would be Chrissy Cunningham. They met in the bathroom by the drama room and bonded over period products and deep talks on the toilet about trying to maintain a “perfect” image for their boyfriends. Their interaction was one of my most favorite moments to write about because it flowed so naturally, and it reminded me of the talks I have with my own girl friends in the bathroom.

5. Did they have a pet as a child?

Sure the shit she did/still does! Allie’s got two dogs and a cat that have been around since she was about twelve. Her parents are animal lovers (her dad especially), so they have a little menagerie going on. I found random little pictures on Google for the face claims of the animals.

The family’s first pet was a little mutt named Scruffy. Scruffy is now unofficially Eddie’s dog because he’s so chill and sweet. I pictured him being the same type of mutt that Benji was. Some kind of terrier mix that has really scruffy fur. Hence the name.

The second pet from around the same time as Scruffy is Allie’s orange tabby, Ripley, named for Ellen Ripley in Alien. I love orange tabbies, I have one currently. And I felt that Allie would have loved Eddie because of his orange cat energy. Ripley admittedly isn’t present much in the story, but I’m trying to incorporate her more.

The final pet was just a requirement at that point, because every Latino family needs a crusty white dog (it’s the goddamn law, even I had a crusty white dog as a kid). I chose a Shih Tzu because I’ve owned them before (my auntie currently has two) and Allie needed a Velcro dog that was just attached at the hip to her. Thus, I gave Allie her obligatory crusty white dog named Tiffany. Eddie doesn’t get along with this pet, and calls her “Rat Dog”.
