#we love mike wheeler on this blog and in this house thank you very very much

[dxncingwithastrxnger]

I honestly don't know why I decided to scroll through the Mike hate tag

I knew it would piss me off

I was just curious as to what they were saying about my boy

But, you know, it's all dumb shit

Saw a lot of people encouraging Jonathan to literally beat up Mike in season 5

Like okay, good to know you want Jon to go to jail and Will and Nancy and pretty much everybody to be absolutely pissed at him

I don't wanna rant too much but,,,

What's the point of so many byler shippers hating on Mike??? Like, "Oh my gosh, Mike is a complete oblivious asshole, he should go die in a hole but I really hope him and Will finally get together next season, HAHA" like what??? How does that make any sense to anybody??

Also a lot of people being like, "Oh, Mike and El are gonna breakup and then El's gonna see the "real" Mike for the first time because she no longer has him on a pedestal and she's gonna see how badly he treats Will and then she's gonna be totally pissed at him and hate him so much, lmao" like are you guys serious???

OH and some of my favorites are the ones saying that in season 5, they want literally everyone (yes, everyone. Even Joyce and Nancy and Will and El. Literally the entire main cast) to turn against Mike because they all "realize he's a major asshole who does and says nothing right and treats them all like shit" so therefore he apparently deserves no love from anyone ever

Oh, and don't even get me started on the amount of people claiming they want season 2 Mike back because "he was the best" and "he was the happiest" and "he treated everyone way better" and "he was so much nicer to Will", etc., etc.

If I see one more person claiming that season 2 was Mike's best/happiest season, I will not apologize for my resulting actions

So, anyways, that's the end of my little rant. In conclusion, I should really stop peeking at the Mike hate tags because they always do nothing but piss me off, so yeah, there's that

Have a good day all of my lovely followers and mutuals that I very much love and appreciate, hope you're doing great!!!! 💜💜💜

🤔🤔mike wheeler with a male reader like cuddling really early in the morning and saying dumb shit to each other 🤭 does that make any sense LMAO THIS IS MY FIRST TIME REQUESTING SOMETHING TO ANYBODY MB IF I DID IT WRONG 🤭🤭🤭

🍏🌙”what are apples made of?”🌙🍎 [Mike Wheeler x Reader]

warning(s):fluffy shit, mike wheeler being stupid and tired, dumb as hell ‘i-just-woke-up’ thoughts, possibly out of character mike but whatever, also a lot of cursing. Ppl put warnings for that right?

terms used: he/him, boyfriend

ok I love this prompt so much. also congratulation!!!!you are the first ever fanfic request I’ve ever gotten. my future employers will see this blog and be like “hmm. yeah this is a good employee!”

anyway there is a SEVERE lack of mike wheeler with male readers, I hate it. give the little mushroomhead some love for the boys! I rlly hope you enjoy this! it was really fun to write.I didn’t really have any season specific Mike Wheeler in mind so it’s up to ur imagination (personally I see season 4 Mike, but hey that’s just me)! Enjoy. Sorry if it sucks, it’s incredibly short. I didn’t have many ideas for dumbass shit that would be accurate to the period 😭

It was around 4 or so in the morning and you were staying over at your boyfriend, Mike Wheeler’s house. You had just told your mom that you were going to stay at his house for a sleepover with your friendgroup. You, however, had lied. Nobody else was there, it was just you and Mike, just existing in one another’s arms.

The both of you hadn’t slept at all, not because you were getting up to any teenage activities, but instead that you were just being total nerds together. Still getting no sleep nonetheless, but thank god it had been a Saturday night or else both of your asses would have been dead that morning. The most part, again, you had just been cuddling and being stupid nerds.

It had been a hot minute since Mike had last spoken to you, so you took a moment and attempted to get some shuteye. Mike decided that at that moment, he was going to bother you again from your attempt to sleep.

“Hey [N/N], what do you think apples are made of?”

Ex? Fucking? S’cuse? You?

“Michael Wheeler. You woke me up to ask me what apples were made of?” You whisper yelled.

“It’s a very important question!” he retorted. “Like, I know they’re made of matter and elements and stuff, but why don’t they make apple an element of its own?”

“I dunno, maybe because it’s not an element on its own,” you giggled.

“But like, it’s all naturally occurring right? So why not?” Michael thought aloud. “Like, it’s a compound of stuff and everything but…” he trailed off.

“Darling, dear, dearest.… I think you just answered your own question,” you said, playing with his hair. “Seriously, I think it’s time for the both of us to go to sleep.”

“But like..science and stuff. You know, that cool thing that we like. Yeah. Science..science rocks.” You could hear how tired he was in his voice, not even minding him yawning.

This boy. He was going to be the death of you. The very, very cute death of you.

“Mike….go to sleep. Please,” you begged. “Or, at the least, let ME sleep dude.”

“Fine, fine. I’ll let you sleep.” He said, sighing in defeat, finally relaxing and with you playing with his hair. “I’m lucky that you’re my boyfriend…even though we can’t really be public about it,” he confessed. “I love you, like, a lot.”

Your face lit ablaze, hiding your face by scooching up close to him and nuzzling into his neck. “I love you like a lot, too.”

You found him to be really warm, him finding you to be warm, too. It was genuinely very comfortable. The both of you stayed in each other’s arms for the rest of your stay, facing one another and just enjoying the company of one another before blissfully falling into the abyss of sleep.

yeah I’m sorry if this sucks 😭 usually I’ll write longer stuff but I’m not very good with Mike wheeler characterization. I can and will rewrite this . I don’t have anyone proofreading this shit, so I’m sorry if anything doesn’t english very well. again. so fucking short but it’s just mike wheeler being all stupid and fluffy and shit. Yeah. Enjoy. I’m tired lol this really isn’t good grammatically

Okokok i need to ask—why Will as #020? You mentioned that there were mentions of 20 this past season—what were these?

I love Barb (or Mike! Or Nancy! Or Holly!) as potentially being #019. I will always headcanon as having a soteria in his neck, until season 5 directly confirms or contradicts this that is, because I think it makes sense & fits with the lab theme—he was taken to the doctor for ~reasons~, and found by the lab either during that trip or prior (ie ur post ab joyce & his drawings from when he was 8). Brenner proposed making Will a number, & when he was denied approval to proceed, they followed the procedure for all denied projects: insert soteria, & continue monitoring.

I love the soteria because of will & him touching his neck, but I can’t help but wonder—do you think all potential children were assigned numbers, to be “renewed” or “activated” if & when they were brought in on the project? This is for the mike wheeler is 19 gate—I headcanon the entire wheeler family as being sensitive, and if we have will exposed because of joyce showing off his drawings we could have MIKE going to the lab back when it was still a hospital because of his “strangeness” (im just thinking of the way mike seemed to be able to see/sense el in season 2 when she visited him, based on what he told will on halloween, & the way nancy was able to hear barb scream, & the way holly followed the lights to will’s room—do you think it will or the demogorgon that led her, btw???) (& what about the byers being sensitive??? Im v v attached to their entire family being sensitive to differing degrees, but now i’m getting attached to the mike-being-sensitive idea idk)

Maybe… if will does have soteria, the reason will keeps touching his neck & mike doesn’t is because henry damaged the soteria inside will? Either when he got will in season one & brought him to the library, or when will was possessed in season 2 (i think season one). But mike’s is still perfectly intact so his powers are much more repressed?? Then again, this is only if we’re trying to make mike-as-019 work—if mike’s just got low level sensitivity like terry ives pre-mkultra, that might work better. Like, the wheeler siblings being sensitive & having potential, but not enough to get them targeted like Will (or Barb). (I think Joyce & Jonathan would probs be more sensitive than the Wheeler siblings too tbh—the way Joyce made the christmas lights in her house turn on as she walked through the upsidedown version of her house hallway in season one, the way she could sense jonathan and jonathan could sense her in that scene, jonathan saying “mom.” Its so different from the way the lights in the wheeler’s house react to the fruity four—they have to actually TRY to manipulate, as opposed to the lights just responding the way they do for joyce and vecna (the way max and lucas & erica walk around with their flashlights off). And we see this with Will too—the way the lights react to Will while he’s in the upsidedown Do Not match how they reacted to the fruity four, so something must be different between the two!!! Ugh idk what are you thoughts?

Sorry for the lengthy ask! I’m really enjoying reading your theories on the subject/your blog in general so far!!!! Hope you have a lovely day!

please don't apologize, this is interesting stuff! and thank you so much! the whole Wheeler family being sensitive is a very interesting concept and I'm totally listening!

I mainly thought of 020 for Will because we know Will is going to be a major player in the final season, not just regarding his personal life but he'll definitely be involved in taking down Henry. and there was that DnD game where they rolled 11 which wasn't high enough and then rolled the 20 that won the game. as in, Eleven won't be able to take Henry down on her own and whoever 20 represents (probably Will) will have to strike a final blow.

there's definitely something going on with Will's neck, but I think it must have to be a more like, symbolic/mental thing because I can't believe Will could have a foreign object under his skin like Henry's and not noticed. unless it's some newer and smaller technology. I want to know what soteria IS, and how Brenner made it. my guess is something with magnets. we have way too many magnet references.

my current thinking about the Holly in Will's room scene is leaning towards the demogorgon having led her there, and maybe ditto for the similar Joyce scene. actually this ties into an analysis I'm working on, so I'll be sure and add in a section or individual post addressing this.

and I think I'll make a post about your potential kids being activated into the program thing. I'm not sure whether I'll actually have an answer to your question but I do have some Thoughts and I need to review some footage. I'll tag you in both!

so i just finished season three and mskfdjdhsjfknd THIS SHOW WAS SO AMAZING!!!! 

let me start by saying that i knew there was a twist coming, but i got it wrong. i thought the ppg were working with the biker in black and that they were trying to isolate kid so he could get revenge or something, but what we got WAS SO MUCH BETTER! like, it explained so much!! i thought the first episode didn’t really feel like kid cosmic so them being in a fantasy world made so much sense! and then papa g’s behavior changed from episode one to episode two, i didnt really notice it but it was definitely in the back of my mind and then we find out that he figured out it was fantasy world and he wanted kid to be able to see his parents again and fdjfhdjkfndrfuhn WOW. 

i also really like that they subverted the ‘hero sacrifice’ trope because oh my god when i thought papa g died i started bawling. also also papa g and kid’s relationship is now my favorite of the show, sorry tuna. 

overall a really good season with a very strong finale, its definitely up there in my ranks. i love these characters, i love their development, and i am very sad to see them go but so glad i gave this show a chance. to my followers, if you havent seen this show i HIGHLY recommend it. 

thank you for everything kid cosmic and craig mccracken. it was a wild and wonderful ride.

some byler things i noticed in vol 1:

-Mike once again apologizes fairly easily (he doesn’t actually say the words but i still count their second talk in epi4 as an apology). 

-Mike listens to Will’s concerns but not El’s (once he gets out of his own head he’s engaged with Will whereas he just completely brushed El off.) 

-They demonstrate that when they’re on the same page shit gets done. (the van, the phone booth, the pen) (also i just love how Mike clearly thinks of Will as his quote-on-quote second in command). 

-They’re more vulnerable with each other than anyone else (even if it’s not completely vulnerable they’re not having conversations like that with the others).

My #1 post of 2022

i just think having a moment between Joyce and Mike where he tells her he likes Will and she’s so supportive and tells him she couldn’t think of anyone better for her son than him would be so sweet actually, and be great juxtaposition to Hopper despising mileven.

Master List

Prompt List

ASK US A QUESTION LIST

You never really understood the things that people did in their lives, from bullying and abusing others to letting that abuse dictate your life. It made you sound terrible but knowing how Billy’s dad treated him did open your eyes to life. The abuse that Billy faced wasn’t excused because it was something he had always known because it he could have taken it and ran with it in a more positive way.

You didn't have the greatest life either. You and Nancy were twin sisters that shared everything until high school began. You were casual friends with Jonathan Byers in a sense but you were a little more popular than your sister. In freshmen year you had broadened your horizons with trying to find your place in the school, were you a sports girl or a loner or even the cliques in between.

Nancy however became obsessed in a sense of getting good enough grades because in your teens you started to compete against each other. Nancy more so than you. Soon you were enveloped into a group of friends with Steve Harrington and the clingy Carol who self proclaimed herself as your best friend. You definitely did not like Carol or Tommy H.

Soon enough Steve was picking you up and going on hangouts that some would call dates but you truly detested the expected relationship standards America had demanded. That’s how Nancy discovered the boy with great hair who was a year older and when boys are older than you, it’s desired. She kept it a secret and pined for him until that one night when her crush exploded in her face.

“Please don’t make meatloaf.” You begged your mom as she went about in the kitchen cleaning.

“It’s good.” Your mom said sighing as she looked into the clear reflection of her face in the glass cabinet. With a swipe of her finger the smudged lipstick was fixed.

“What about your signature chicken?” You quickly replied.

“The price of chicken has gone up.” She spoke before your father from the living room spoke up.

“Karen, chicken sounds great. Mashed potatoes with gravy too but no mixed vegetables.”

“Ted!”

“What’s going on?” Nancy asked coming into the kitchen to see you groaning.

You were fraternal twins with only some similarities in your features and Nancy believed you were the prettier one while you thought it was the other way around.


“Y/N is bringing her boyfriend for dinner. I insisted we meet him.”

“Boyfriend? Since when?” Nancy frowned thinking back on the few guys you had been seeing since you got into high school. Unbeknownst that there was nothing romantic with them.

“Apparently she’s been keeping this nameless boy a secret for six months now.”

“Who is it?” Nancy questioned picking up an apple from the table.

“It doesn’t matter. Please Mom?” You whined, “He loves chicken but I know you wouldn’t be caught dead with KFC on our table with a new guest.”

“Fine. Ted get the keys!” Your mom sighed, “Can you watch Holly for an hour?”



“I actually have to meet him in a few minutes.” You hesitantly spoke.


“Okay then Nancy can.”


“But-“ Nancy started.

“Thank you sweetheart.” Your Mom said pressing a kiss to your cheeks and swiftly moving to the closet to grab her jacket and purse.

You followed soon after while Nancy retreated to her room to see who picked you up but you simply walked until you were out of sight. Nancy was very curious about who you had snagged from the school because while you weren’t as close as you used to be she did know that you would never go for a guy older than eighteen.

The King of Hawkins High had one hand nervously trying to light the cigarette in his mouth while the other wiped the clammy hand on his jumping leg. You had just opened the door when he jumped blinking up at you.

“Hey.” You softly spoke pressing a kiss to his cheek, “You okay?”

“I’m meeting your family tonight! Of course I’m not okay!” He wheezed while you carefully took the lighter from his shaking hand and calmly lit his cigarette.

“You’ll be fine.” You calmly spoke, “My parents will love you.”


“You’re right.” Steve sighed leaning back, “Is my hair okay? Oh god it isn’t! I knew I should have sprayed it once more. We should go to the store so I can grab a new can.”

“Babe your hair is perfect. I didn’t think it could get any more perfect.” You soothed him kneeling on the passenger seat in his car.

“I don’t do this.” Steve huffed looking at you, “I don’t freak out over this kind of shit.”

“That’s because you had flings, nothing serious.” You calmly spoke shifting a piece of his hair out of his eye.

“See what you’ve done to me!” Steve exclaimed sighing as he put his head back on the seat, “I’m sorry.”

“You’re nervous. It’s understandable.” You smiled as he shuffled in his seat pulling at his shirt. You gently grabbed his hand to pull into into your lap, you placed circled gestures on his palm.

“Will Holly like me?” Steve took a deep breath in, “Kids have great judgement.”

“Holly’s three. She’ll be changing her interest multiple times.” You returned in the driveway of his house. On the way to your house he had done a u-turn to change his clothes again.

“I’m terrible with kids.” Steve shuddered looking at you.

“Have you ever spent time with children?” You questioned.


“No.”

“Then we don’t know.” You shrugged, “Now can we go? It’s five o’clock and supper is six.”

“I’m already being a terrible-“

“Just drive Steve.” You laughed as he put the car in drive with shaky hands. Once parked in front of the house he cast a look to the house before hurrying to open your door.

“Whatever happens. I love you.” Steve whispered pressing a kiss to your cheek.

“I love you too.”

Steve took a deep breath before raising his hand to knock on the brown wooden door you had known your entire life. The door opened with your mom standing there holding Holly on her hip. She looked confused before opening her mouth.

“Why are you knocking? Y/N could have brought you straight in.”

“That’s not polite.” Steve replied waving to Holly, “My parents always taught me manners.”


“Come in. We’re having chicken.” Mom smiled leading him to the living room, “You have a seat and I’ll call you in.”


“Can I help you with anything?” Steve asked.


“Could you watch Holly? I don’t like having her in the kitchen when I’m cooking.”

“Uh. Sure.” Steve gulped taking Holly from your mom. Holly gazed up at Steve with her hazel green eyes.

You retreated into the kitchen with your mom where your father was nursing a beer holding the newspaper as he attempted to help his wife. He wasn’t the most attentive father but he wasn’t terrible either. Mike was more than likely downstairs using his walkie talkie with his friends. Nancy was doing homework probably.

“He’s nice.” Mom said mixing the carrots on the stove.

“He’s here?” Dad said glancing up from the paper.

“He’s with Holly.” You mumbled glancing at your mom, “I knew that was a test.”


“You’re smart. Go get your brother. He didn’t take the garbage out this morning.” Mom stated plating the chicken.

“Mike!” You yelled to the stairs earning a exclaimed remark back, “Take the garbage out.”

Mike quickly came up the stairs sulking to the kitchen before returning to the living room holding the black bag and staring at Steve. You shoved him to the door before kneeling beside Holly with her blocks as Steve cautiously helped build them.

“You were right.” You mumbled.

“It’s a test.” Steve hummed smiling when Holly giggled pushing the blocks over.


“You passed.” You chuckled before your mom told you to go get Nancy from her room, “I’ll be right back.”

Steve nodded as you pressed a quick kiss to his cheek before hounding up the stairs to Nancy’s room across from your room. You shared a bathroom between you while Holly and Mike used the guest bathroom by their rooms. You saw Nancy was bent over her desk furiously writing.


“Hey Nancy? Supper is almost ready.” You quickly told her. She nodded before motioning you to go.

When you got downstairs Holly was colouring with Mike while Steve was awkwardly watching the two of them. Grabbing his hand you pulled him up the stairs to your room keeping the door only slightly ajar. He nervously glanced at the door as you pulled him onto the bed.

“I don’t think we should be doing this.” Steve chuckled as you pressed a kiss against the corner of his mouth.

“You need to relax.” You wickedly grinned pulled him on top of you, “Besides who said my parents listen?”

With another kiss on his skin he succumbed to your advances and began to kiss you back with fervour. One knee pressed tight to his side as your hand gripped the back of his neck. Pressed impossibly close without taking clothing off you quietly moaned. Shifting his attention to your neck you arched up into him.

“What time is it?” Steve mumbled huskily slowly moving his hand to your other leg to tug it around your waist.

“We have time.” You mumbled back gasping when he nipped at that one place that drove you completely nuts. He pressed closer than before with enough dragging force to pull a deep audible moan from your lips.

“We should stop.” Steve moaned grinding down on you disregarding actually following his words. You shook when his jeans zipped strongly dragged across your engorged clit. You quickly moved your hand between your bodies.

You undid the button before you nabbed his hand to shove his finger in the front of your keys and just the brushing of his knuckles on your intimate body parts sent you over the edge. Mewling time and time while you grabbed at Steve’s unneeded belt, his jeans were well fitted and tight, to undo it while he pushed his pants and boxers down far enough over his ass to reveal his thick cock. His hands made quick work of your jeans.

Jeans at your ankles with you panties pushed to the side Steve slid into your tight cunt aided by the frequent trysts in the back of his car and your wetness. Holding still you breathed in sync before you pulled back and slammed back up. A moan released as he took over the movements with ease and familiarity.

You had been a virgin before Steve while he had experience under his belt as you had expected with his reputation. When you first began your relationship with Steve you had promised not to be another notch on his belt. You drunkenly threw yourself at him once and he didn’t do it even as drunk as you. That settled your feelings mutually and became exclusive.

“Oh god.” You moaned arching up with a beautiful perfect circle on your pursed lips. Steve had never seen someone as beautiful as you.

“Come on baby.” Steve moaned as he reached down to circle furiously on your swollen clit. Your vision shattered as he swallowed your scream and he reached down further to play with his balls. Energy deleted you weakly shoved his hand from his balls to fondle them.

“Just like that.” Steve grunted shoving harder into your tight, wet cunt. With a groan you in turn swallowed he pulled out and came inside your mouth. He never tired seeing your lips stretched around his impressive girth.

You happily sighed as Steve helped you up from the bed. You caught the disappearing flash of brunette hair but you dismissed it as your sister obviously walking past your room. Steve grabbed one of your mint green face clothes to clean you up as you fixed his boxers and pants. Panties shoved deep in the back of Steve’s jeans as you pulled up the new pair unbeknownst to Steve’s eye.

“I’m fucked.” Steve grunted looking up at the ceiling.

“Well I hope it was my boyfriend I just fucked.” You teased bending down to open the cabinet below your sink. You felt the distance slap of your boyfriends hand before you grabbed your desired objects.

“Fabergé Organics and Farrah Fawcett spray.” Steve marvelled at the objects as you grabbed one of your blue towels.

“You have five minutes.” You sternly said ushering him to the deep sink. He made quick work while you grabbed your soiled sheets off your bed and into the laundry basket. Thank god it was laundry day tomorrow and your day to do it.

It was ten minutes before Steve stepped out of your bathroom with his hair back to being perfect while the only evidence was your mutual swollen lips. You had managed to fix your makeup and hair in your small mirror while also praying that nobody knew what you just finished.

“Relaxed?” You murmured from the comfort of his arms.

“Thanks to you.” Steve happily sighed into your arms breathing in the newly applied fragrance.

“If you behave I may have a special treat in your car later.” You whispered in his ear as you dragged him to the set table.

“Just in time.” Mom smiled as you all took your seat. Nancy being the last to enter the room in shock at Steve.

“Steve?”



“Nancy right?” Steve questioned sending you a loving look, “Nice to finally meet you all.”

Talk and homemade fried chicken were the present parts of the meal with Nancy pushing the mashed potatoes on her plate. She believed she had a chance with Steve Harrington while you had taken that away from her. All she wanted was to not be in your shadow but like always she never got what she wanted.

“Hopefully we’ll have you over again.” Mom said with her practiced smile that never looked even a hint fake.

Your dad spoke animatedly about sports that his family had no interest in to an equally animated teen holding your hand. Nancy was casting you glares every few minutes even if you were only looking at your boyfriend. Ever few minutes Steve would glance at you with this soft expression that Nancy was jealous about.

She wanted Steve to look at her that way. She wanted to be the girl he stupidly had sex with in her room with the door just a crack open with her parents downstairs. She wanted to the girl that he was happy to sacrifice a good example to her parents. Of course it was you who got to be that girl.

“What are your plans after high school?” Mom asked passing the mashed potatoes over to him. She had noticed that the mashed and chicken were Steve’s favourite on the table.

“I’m a junior at the moment so I’m still trying to pick my way through that. Y/N’s been helping me with that.” Steve grinned over at you.

“Are you going to be working with your dad?” Dad asked him with interest.

“No. I want to go to college but I want to earn it through a scholarship, I know my parents could pay for it but I want to do it myself.” Steve spoke after swallowing his food.

“Where are you planning on going?” Nancy coyly asked, “I could help you with school work.”

You easily recognized the seductive intent Nancy was displaying and while it annoyed you, it didn’t entirely bother you. Steve had openly admitted how in love with you he was and the future he envisioned. It was mutual so you were threatened by Nancy.

“Thanks for the offer.” Steve smiled, “But Y/N has a system that keeps me focused.”

“I bet.” Mike grunted pushing the food around on his plate. He was busy thinking about the girl in your basement only he knew about.

Nancy huffed leaning back in her chair not subtle in her glances at your boyfriend. When a simple pie was passed around for dessert you watched as Nancy became more open to flirting with him and Steve was oblivious.

“I’ll take the dishes in. Can you help Steve?” Nancy asked biting her lip.

“He’s the guest Nancy.” You rolled your eyes, “Besides it your dish duty.”

You gathered up some of the leftovers to bring into the kitchen to box them up, specifically making a plate in one for Steve. His parents were gone for the week up to a distant relative’s wedding and Steve had rejected the offer. He wasn’t a great cook so you knew he would appreciate the food.

“I’d appreciate it if you would stop trying to seduce my boyfriend.” You calmly said putting the leftovers in the fridge. Steve’s boxed food aside of course.

“I don’t know what your talking about.” Nancy mumbled scrubbing the plate.

“I don’t know what your deal has been lately. Actually since we got into high school but it needs to stop.”

“I don’t appreciate you taking everything from me.” Nancy exclaimed dropping the plate where it shattered at her feet.

“Excuse me?” You spoke up angered.

“It’s bullshit! All I ever hear is how you got a good grade, the beautiful drawing you did for Art class, being the DD at parties.” Nancy shouted, “How you always get any guy you want because you love having your lips around their-“

“Shut the fuck up.” You shouted clenching your fists, “Sorry I don’t plan on being around my textbooks every second of the day! Sorry I don’t want to let my friends chance losing their lives for being teenagers! I’m not a fucking slut either!”

“What about George, Thomas, Ian, Jackson and we can’t forget about Mr. West!” Nancy exclaimed as your parents and Steve ran into the kitchen. Mom seeing the shattered plate on the floor and the piece of mashed potatoes in your hand. You threw it causing it to splatter on your twins face.

“You fucking idiot! Thomas and George are gay! They’ve been hanging out with me to defuse the homophobic slurs! I’m the only person that doesn’t treat them as pieces of shit! Ian was my project partner in art! Jackson was just a jerk that kept hitting on me until Mr. West stopped it!”

“Why did I see Mr. West and you in his room?!” Nancy screamed wiping the food off her face. Dad stepped in as Nancy threw a glass at your face. Steve yanked you to his chest as the tears poured down your face and the blood oozing from a cut on his shirt.

“Nancy Wheeler!” Mom shouted with such fury it scared everyone, “You are grounded! No parties, you go to school and come home immediately! No television and no phone!”

“That’s not fair!” Nancy screamed, “She never gets in trouble! Ever!”

“Fuck you Nancy.” You coldly spoke twisting your head to stare at her, “I took the blame for shit you did growing up. I was the one who got groped by Jackson and Mr. West was the guidance counsellor who helped.”

“Go to your room! Y/N clean this up now.” Mom said before looking at Steve, “I’m so sorry you had to see this.”

Steve gently took the dust pan from your hands to clean the glass up carefully as you collapsed against the cupboards tearing up. It brought up memories of Jackson trying to force himself on you in the hallway and Mr. West stopping it.

“Are you okay?” Steve whispered cupping your face in his hands.

“No.” You admitted resting your hands on his looking at him, “My twin sister threw glass at my face!”

“I know.” Steve mumbled tugging you against his chest, “It will be okay. Remember what we talked about? Jackson is gone, you are safe and I will always be here.”

“I know.”

“I love you.”

“Love you too.” You mumbled blinking.

“I didn’t know she liked me.” Steve sighed, “Just know that I’ve never felt anything for her. My eyes and heart have always been transfixed with you. The most beautiful girl I have ever had the honour of meeting.”

“Can we go to your place?” You asked sniffling, “I’ll tell Mom Theresa is having a bad breakup.”

“Sure.” Steve whispered, “I can’t wait to get our own place together and build our own life.”

“Me too.”

28. What type of music do you like? I’m a musician, so the answer is “everything”. Like, you hit shuffle on my iphone and you’re just as likely to hit Beethoven’s Sonatas as you are Notorious B.I.G. and everything in between.

30. How many pillows do you sleep with? Two

48. Can you curl your tongue? Nope

49. Pick one fictional character you can relate to? Um, since most of my friends here are in the ST fandom, let’s go with that and, in that universe, I’d have to say Mike Wheeler. His sense of responsibility and knack of putting everyone else ahead of him is something I relate to so very much.

50. Left or right handed? Left

51. Are you scared of spiders? I have legit arachnophobia.

52. Favorite food? Macaroni and cheese (I’m such white fucking trash)

53. Favorite foreign food? Pho or (and I’m cursing my inability to add accent marks here)  Bun Thit Nuong Cha Gio, which is vermicelli noodles with bbq pork, eggrolls, veggies, and fish sauce and it’s so good (ok, i’m craving it now) (also, lol, can you tell my husband’s Vietnamese, or what?)

54. Are you a clean or messy person? Dude, I’m messy as fuck.

55. If you could switch your gender for a day, what would you do? Figure out what it’s like to pee standing up.

56. What color underwear? Like, right now, or in general? Because the answer to right now is “nothing” (because i’m in my pjs and i don’t wear underwear to sleep), but in general, black because i don’t like having to match anything.

80. How many piercings do you have? Three on each ear (though I’m planning on getting a cartilage piercing soon).

81. Can you roll your R’s? Lol, I only took 10 years of Spanish, so I certainly hope so.

82. How fast can you type? Pretty fast

83. How fast can you run? Um, I average about a 13 minute mile, so not super fast.

84. What color is your hair? Auburn-red

85. What color are your eyes? Hazel

86. What are you allergic to? Mold and mildew

87. Do you keep a journal? Haha, I gave up that ghost years ago. The closest I get to that is this blog.

88. Are you depressed about anything? Not particularly at the moment (though I suffer from anxiety and that can quickly turn into depression if I don’t watch it)

89. Do you like your age? I do, I think. I can’t say I didn’t wish I was in my late 20s again, mostly because there’s the pressure to have done certain things by the time you’re in your mid-30s (like, have kids and whatnot), but I certainly don’t feel my age most of the time, so *shrugs*

90. What makes you angry? When people aren’t given a fair shot, or unfairly treated. I’m real big on equity of respect and it makes me so angry when I see people getting treated like shit or disrespected (bigots and racists and misogynists really piss me off). In that same vein, people not doing their fair share of the work also really piss me off.

91. Do you like your own name? Yeah, I do. I mean, I’ve had it for 34 years.

92. Did you ever get a foreign object up your nose? thankfully, no.

93. Do you want a boy or a girl for a child? I think, if I have kids, I want a girl.

94. What talents do you have? I’m a fast and adaptive learner and I have a near photographic memory.

95. Sun or moon? Sun.

96. How did you get your name? Ok, I’ve asked this question and the only answer I can get from my mom is “I don’t know, your dad and I just liked the name.”

97. Are you religious? I like to consider myself a spiritual person, but I’m not particularly religious. I’m fascinated by religiosity and tradition and I like participating in religious ceremonies, but I don’t know if I believe in a religion enough to be religious.

98. Have you ever been to a therapist? Yes, I have. I developed anxiety a few years ago and I saw a therapist for a few months to help with my issues.

99. Color of your bedspread? White with blue and turquoise dots.

100. Color of your room? Grey

What Surviving a Rocket Explosion Taught This Veteran Entrepreneur About Never Giving Up

May 8, 2020 9 min read

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own.

Let’s be real for a moment. We are all being hit hard right now. Millions of people have been infected around the globe, hundreds of thousands have died. Many businesses that have been built with sweat and tears over decades are now left for ruin.

My business, Redline Steel, has been forced to pivot massively in order to survive the unexpected storm. But we’ve been through challenging times before. Crisis, trials and setbacks have been unwanted friends of mine for as long as I can remember. 

Here’s the thing: I truly believe that not only can a crisis define you — it can remake you.

On May 3rd, 2012, I was serving my third, military tour in Afghanistan and working out in a gym when a 107-mm rocket exploded about three and a half feet from me. I barely remember the ensuing gunfire and the rescue, but I survived. Shrapnel went all the way through my leg, which led me to six months of physical therapy just so I could walk and move normally again. I had nerve damage in my back and required lumbar block fusion surgery.

Less than 18 months after my injury in Afghanistan, I landed my first magazine cover on Ironman Australia. The gym almost killed me, but it also saved my life. A lot of people would have fear re-entering something that almost ended their life, but I was able to turn that negative experience into a positive career change for me.

I want my failures, trials and painful moments of life to fuel me — not beat me.

Pain will not win

The rocket explosion is a part of my life, but it’s something I don’t dwell on it. I focus on what’s ahead. I couldn’t work out exactly like I used to, but I found workarounds. I had to change my workouts, but I didn’t let that stop me. Instead, I let it fuel my motivation. 

We cannot allow the world to tell us what we can and can’t do. We have to decide this for ourselves.

That is central to overcoming nearly any obstacle, thus, it’s been a core belief of mine for a long time. 

Redline started in a very similar way; with a setup disguised as a setback. I had a partnership that fell apart on the day we were supposed to sign. I had already invested thousands of dollars in attorney fees for the deal. But I pressed on anyway. 

In the military, we call it “Charlie Mike.” We continue on the mission, and no matter what obstacle is thrown in my way, I find a way to work around it. I’ve found that no matter what, if there’s a will, there is a way. 

In other words, I had to develop a will of steel. 

Focusing your energy

When things are out of your control, stay focused on what you can do, not on what you can’t do.  

So what do you do when you have zero control? Because it’s true — sometimes events take place beyond our control, just like what’s happening right now on a global scale. No one expected that we would go into quarantine, that the economy would plummet or that we would rapidly descend into a recession.

But, again, this was nothing new for me. I’d already experienced something similar just 18 months beforehand.  

In November 2018, at the peak of buying season when retailers like mine make or break their year, I had a $70,000 piece of machinery that’s central to my entire production line completely break down. 

It was under warranty, but I didn’t have a backup, and the parts had to be imported, which was going to take more than a month. We ordered another one and frantically worked on solutions, but the orders began to backlog.

Breaking promises hurts the most

We had promised thousands of customers that we would get their orders out by Christmas. And although we did everything humanly possible, we couldn’t meet the timeline for everyone. Customer complaints started to pile up as rapidly as my orders. I was called a fraud and other horrible names I’d never been called, all while we were doing everything humanely possible to solve the issue.  

I was forced to cut off any new sales because we couldn’t fulfill the thousands of orders we already had in a timely manner. This caused a massive budget crunch as the cash flow stopped. Fortunately, I had saved more than three months of operating expenses, but even with that, we were on the brink of bankruptcy. We were very, very close, and I had to pull every dollar I had out of savings to pay payroll and expenses just so we could stay open. I had to sell generators and plasma tables and whatever I could for $500, $1,000 and $2,000 at a time just to make ends meet.

Blood is not always family, and family is not always blood

I’ve learned that the true definition of family is when you’ll do anything for anyone when it’s the least convenient for you.

Two weeks before Christmas, 60 percent of my staff left. This left me crippled. Not only did I not have my main machine working, I lost most of my workforce.  

There were nights when I was driving home late and thought, “If an 18-wheeler comes over into my lane, I don’t know if I’ll move.”  

One thing’s certain: I’d rather go through another rocket explosion than endure the six months of hell that crisis brought me.

But all was not lost. My remaining team showed me who I could really count on. They became my heroes. I learned to put my trust in the team that remained and to show up for them. I discovered who was really there for me when I needed them the most. The people who stayed believed in me; they believed in us. They encouraged me, continually reminding me that we’d get through this. 

My team is my greatest asset

Keeping the core team I kept and losing the other 60 percent ended up becoming one of my greatest gifts. It showed me who has my back and gave me space to improve the rest of my team.  

So fast-forward to the COVID-19 crisis hitting. While I didn’t have to make staff cuts, I knew most of my team was on two-income households, so I decided to offer to cover all my staff’s house payments for the month of April. That wasn’t easy for me because we’re not a venture-backed company sitting on loads of cash. But these people had been there for me, and I wanted to do what I could to be there for them.  

Additionally, as a student of consumer behavior, I realized that Redline had to shift its entire marketing strategy. We don’t sell critical-need products, so we needed to shift very fast and come up with a new strategy. Recently, some of the entrepreneurs I coach have been pivoting their marketing agency strategy to find the opportunity to great results so I know it’s not just me getting lucky. The opportunity is still there, it’s just moved.  

We created a Give Back collection of 17 different products, where we offer a free gift to medical workers and other critical frontline responders who are bravely serving. In about a month, we’ve given over $2 million in product away thanks to this strategy and acquired hundreds of thousands of new customers at an incredibly affordable customer acquisition rate.

Today, I have a stronger staff and leadership than ever before. We are protected by five layers of redundancy so if a machine like that ever breaks down again, we are covered. Plus, we were poised to grow faster and better than ever before. That wouldn’t have happened without the crisis of November 2018.  

With everything America is facing now, business owners need to get comfortable with the uncomfortable and start thinking outside the box. What was working for you before may not work for you now. 

No one wants a crisis thrust upon them, but the benefit of a crisis is that you will find new limits. When I look at some of the most seasoned entrepreneurs, I see that they’ve stepped outside their comfort zones so often and gone through so much in the past that they can bet on themselves to know that they’ll make it through whatever they’re facing. 

Some lasting lessons

1. Get comfortable with the uncomfortable. When the market shifts, pivot rapidly.

2. Never forget — whatever challenge you’re facing can remake you better than ever.  

A quote I love by General Douglas MacArthur is “Americans never quit.” I think that’s as true and relevant for today as it was for any other point in history. It isn’t the season to quit. It’s the season to remake ourselves.

So keep going, my friend. I promise you can get through this.

That’s me in the crystal ball. I’m not the lady

This is one of my favorite posts every year and in recent years seems to be a favorite of my readers and of people from all over the world. I don’t talk about it very often on my blog, but I fancy myself a soothsayer, a psychic if you will. Am I kidding? Sometimes, but not all the time, and over the years my ability to predict future events accurately has even surprised me. Enough about me, you want the goods don’t you? You want to know what the future holds right? Pull up a chair, open your mind and look into my crystal ball with me…

Aliens Attack in 2019! Yes, this is the year that half the world has been waiting for and the other half has been fearing. Planet Earth will finally have the proof that so many have been searching for confirming that there is other intelligent life in the universe. In a possibly related note, when the alien ships disappear, so does Queen Elizabeth. Oddly, a strange blue light filled the sky over London on the night the UFO’s disappeared and the Queen allegedly died. England reports that she passed away and they hold a magnificent funeral with a suspiciously closed casket.

Fin Shepard

Finn Wolfhard

2019 is The Year of The Fin, or is it Finn? Everywhere you look in 2019 you will see a Fin, or maybe a Finn. Ian Ziering played Fin Shepard on the SyFy networks Sharknado series. Finn Wolfhard played Mike Wheeler on the popular Netflix series Stranger Things. My prediction is that 2019 will be The Year of  The Fin(n) without either starring in a shark related project. I predict that you won’t be able to turn on your television without seeing one of the Fin(n)s. Unfortunately, their breakout success will lead to a new psychiatric malady called Fin(n) Fatigue for which I will be the only professionally licensed therapist. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. Jump into those fin(n) infested waters at your own risk.

In 2019 the World will…not end A lot of psychics like to make headlines by predicting the end of the world. Not me. I’m going out on a limb and predicting that the world will still be here in a year. In 2009 I made my first Earth saving prediction and it was borne true in December of 2012. Remember when everybody believed that because the ancient Mayan calendar ended in December 2012 that the world end then? Read this post I wrote in 2009 and scheduled to post in 2012. I’m feeling just as solid about 2019. I can’t make any guarantees for you personally, but this big ball of dirt will still be in orbit around the sun.

The American Presidency: Yes in my minds eye I see turmoil unlike we’ve ever seen at The White House, but I am unsure if we will see a scene such as the one portrayed in the picture above. Mostly because they’ll have a hard time finding handcuffs small enough to hold his tiny hands together. Maybe these will work:

Thank you Stephen Colbert

The surprise in this is not that Trump will face legal charges, but so will his daughter Ivanka, her husband Jared Kushner, and wife Melania, who although she is allegedly Slovenian, turns out to be a Russian spy who has been controlling Donald Trump since they met.

express.co.uk

Will Brexit Exit? And What About Theresa May’s Love Life? I’m bringing back an old prediction because it looks like it will be coming true, just not in the exact time frame that I foresaw. In December of 2016 I predicted that Britain would try to reverse course and not leave the European Union. In that prediction that you can read HERE I predicted the reversal of Brexit plans and I also predicted the hashtag #UnBrexit. Feel free to go check Twitter for that, it’s there. The oddity about this prediction is that the Brexit drama will end Theresa May’s reign as Prime Minister. She will be an outcast in her own country and will move to the United States, write love letters to imprisoned Donald Trump, and eventually begin a relationship, with conjugal visits, that will end in marriage. Sorry about that conjugal visit image that’s now stuck in your head. If it’s in my head, I want it in your head.

Whew! I’m exhausted from all that mind-bending peering into the future. I hope you enjoyed it and now you can make you plans for 2019. Have a very Happy New Years celebration tomorrow! ~Psychic Phil
