sxperherobob:
Joyce and I baked some pie, it's a cherry pie, would you like some?
@witnss
“how’d you guys find the time?” she was exhausted by the end of the day and tried not to survive on junk food alone before nosediving into bed before school the next day. “i think i can smell it from here,” she teased as she took a deep breath and pretended to float around on the aroma like a saturday morning cartoon character being lured by the promise of freshly baked food. “i’d love some, bob. thanks! i had no idea you were a baker.”

@familybyerstm JANE ❛ i’m going to get you out of here. ❜
ruth hadn’t seen many others roaming the halls when she’d come to the lab after school. no one who wasn’t wearing a white coat. studying the younger person with growing tension, she knew she had to explain she was fine. she even tried smiling, but ruth wasn’t sure she could lie to the girl. she wasn’t sure she was fine. “i can’t leave,” ruth murmured. her voice was hoarse as tears sprang to her eyes. she smiled then and batted at the stinging sensation. “no one else would understand.”

hi! welcome to my oc based in the str.anger th.ings universe. we’re crossover/au friendly, strictly 18+, and mutuals only! i realize being selective can come off a certain kind of way, but i assure you it's purely for comfort. i like getting to know my partners and being selective helps me manage. charlie they/them over twenty - one. below the cut, you’ll find my rules and bio. please read those before deciding to follow. see ya around!
a study in eighties magical realism, found family dynamics, the lost girl, wallflower traits, && the strange concept of TIME.
RULES
reblog from the source and don’t reblog an ask. i usually make a new posts to answer memes which you’re perfectly welcome to reblog and continue if you want.
be kind. don’t harass me for replies or answers to your messages. checking in once in a while is nice but sending multiple messages without getting a reply from me yet can make me feel rushed and guilty. don’t godmod or force ship.
don’t interact with threads you aren’t participating in. personals and non-rp blogs should not interact with any posts as it messes with the notifications. mutuals only are invited to send in memes and respond to open starters.
i choose not to interact with muns that are under 18. i will have different verses for my muse, but i won’t write her under 18. mun and muse are 18+ i will interact with villainous/dark muses but i do not apologize or agree for their actions. i will practice the same selectivity i do with every muse when it comes to interacting with these muses. chemistry between muns and muses is important.
i don’t have triggers to mention. there are topics i refuse to interact with like dub/non-con, gore, and p*dophilia. there may be action typical violence, language, and adult situations. be mindful before following. triggers will be tagged as: trigger tw //
i don’t practice mains or exclusives. i will likely write with different versions of the same character. every muse is unique and their muns work hard on every individual portrayal. unless there’s a special connection between me and another mun, i’m not open to limitations at this time.
my format style is small text triple spaced, all lowercase, and 90x90 sized icons. psd and template credit to somresources.
i reserve the right to change or add to these rules at any point. thanks for reading!
CHARACTER PROFILE
trigger warning: parent death, death, family dysfunction. you are no one in a small town of familiar faces. your purpose is to make it to school on time, keep your head down, and blend in. working weekend shifts leaves you stuck in a stagnate routine. something deep inside of you claws to break through, to break free.
it hadn't always been this way. you used to live on the east coast with your parents until your father died. you were so close to him that you didn't think anyone could compare. not even your own mother. she tried her best, but the two of you could do nothing except butt heads. after the funeral, all your mother could think to do is move back home to indiana. she needed to be close to family and the familiar. to you, it was a death sentence. you were about to graduate and now you would have a new life, no friends, and be bombarded by the friendliness of a supposed uncle you haven't been around since you were a kid. bob newby wasn't so bad. he tried. like really hard. you were helpless to his open heart, and soon barriers fell as you began to do the worst thing you could possibly do: settle in.
alternate "stranger" bio continued: you thought hawkins would be a quiet town, but it was a weird place the more you got to know it and the strange lab that was stationed on the far side of town. on your days off or after school, sometimes you'd find yourself looking through the surrounding fence trying to get at any clues as to what exactly went on in there. you'd mapped out the entire outer layout in no time, and eventually, you began to imagine what it might look like on the inside. late one night, you'd stayed out longer than you should have and a great shock wave emitted from the building. the pulse shook through the trees and into your anatomy. suddenly, nothing felt quite right. your pulse slowed, a light sweat broke out on your forehead and then you black out.
when you next come to, there's a distant clicking. it's the ticking of a clock. all the times you imagined what the lab looked like couldn't prepare you for its reality. a man in a white coat stood above you... he explained something wonderful has happened and that you must remain calm.
as a cover, dr. brenner established an internship that you must attend after school everyday so that he may monitor the effects of the blast. you learned the electro-magnetic pulse wave deconstructed and reanimated your cells, giving you extraordinary "gifts" as the doctor referred to them. your uncle bob was beyond proud of the fact you were attending the lab for a special assignment as he had a keen interest in all science. he'd boast how you'd run the place some day if you continued to work hard. if only he knew the truth. if only you could control your slips into different, parallel universes. if only you went straight home after school before the accident. if only every tick of the second hand on the clock didn't now match each beat of your heartrate.
STATS
name: ruth newby age: eighteen origin: hawkins, indiana orientation: pansexual powers (verse dependent): shift between realities, modify current time ie. slow it down or speed it (drains energy), see into a person’s memories. faceclaim: jessica barden
special notes: if any canon characters would like to plot pre-established relationships, let’s do it! if bob blogs don’t wish to have a pre-established connection based on ruth’s background, we can plot around it.
