#Doc Hopper

[pleasejustletmesleep]

I love you, The Muppet Movie (1979). I love you, coming of age road trip story. I love you, Steve Martin in tiny booty shorts. I love you, shameless 4th wall breaks. I love you, beautiful song about friendship and stars sung by Gonzo. I love you, toxic yuri dynamic between Kermit and Piggy. I love you, Dr. Teeth calling the motorcycle cop a pig. I love you, thinly veiled nods to queerness. I love you, The Muppet Movie (1979)

Muppet Villains Are Typically Human (Or Human-sized)...

...Because there's something very poignant about little guys standing against larger foes.

My experience with female characters in television is an interesting ride because I can start out being kinda indifferent about a female character but then I see how much hate she gets and suddenly I’m putting pictures of her face on my wall

Does anyone remember Hopper? Regardless lmao, here are some more characters from his AU! I've been calling them the Lab Crew!

Hopper works at the lab (early outertale timeline energy) and in this au, Gaster doesn't fall into the CORE! So, here he's able to remain Royal Scientist, leaving Sans and Alphys to continue being normal scientists w/o all the pressure + grief.

Somewhere along the line, Hapstablook shows an interest in the lab, and finding a host body, so Alphys (his friend) introduces him to Gaster and suggests they hire him in. He doesn't exactly have any science background, but none of them did at the start, so they all agree it can join them. And Alphys, resident engineer, is allowed to help make him a body in her spare time, since their research was at a hard stand-still.

Honestly? Hapst is probably their most valuable member, because he keeps morale high, and acts as the equivalent of their 'programmers duck' on projects. And by the time his body is made, he's been able to learn a lot, and become more extroverted and confident in his own abilities! Along with that, he's also able to broadcast to the rest of the underground about the Lab!

^ His broadcasts and informational program (along with other shows if he has the time) demystify the Lab to the rest of the monsters and explain exactly how they're planning to help everyone escape. He's a big hit among monsters and basically becomes a mascot for the Lab in the end.

Hapst and Alphys were friends for a LONG time before the Lab, though only because they were both antisocial and nervous wrecks. Once he gets his body, he starts trying to help her through her anxieties and worries!

Hapst and Gaster have a good friendly relationship. Gaster has a significant age gap between himself at the others in the lab (alive during the Monster War) so he usually finds it's best to sit back and let the youngins do their own thing, but Hapst actually stuck pretty close to Gaster for his first few months working there, and it helped to bridge a gap Gaster didn't realize he'd been making by mistake. Now Hapst will drag Gaster into any of their shenanigans w/o a second thought!

Hapst and Sans (Hopper). Man. They were FAST friends. Like, Sans was always around Gaster (assistants tend to do that) so Hapst was also exposed to Sans, and Sans loved to pump him up, include him in on what thr current projects were, and hear his thoughts. Outside the lab he invited Hapst over when he invited Alphys to have a hang night, and him, Paps, Hapst, and Alphys all played games and watched movies and stuff. And that was kinda the beginning of the end. Hapst loved Sans' enthusiasm, and sewing both the calm side and the excited nerdy side, and it made Hapst more willing to try and let himself be excited about things. They're basically inseparable I'm the lab later on, and when Sans accidentally teleports, Hapst is *usually* the first one to know lmao-

Anyways, yeah, I was possessed and went feral over these goofball.

Let me be real with you: I am not buying that corn.

[ronanceautistic]

two year old Lab-nalysis that flopped on twitter

also addition to the stuff about the blood splatter - Nancy’s seems more gruesome, in a way. I like the idea that it’s because Vecna is playing it up more to scare her :)

[digitalcarcrash]

i've been keeping a list for just over a month now and i just think tumblr would enjoy this so here you all go

[graysongraysoff]

pros: been writing??

cons: the idea of posting/sharing my writing is still so abhorrent to me that i like physically can only write abt characters that only one (1) other person knows or cares about

[lucassinclaer-archive]

i only need super minimal encouragement to talk about this soooooo ty @freetobeeyouandme lmao. been thinking about stranger things heist au again. and it got long into brainstorming territory so just... (waves hand vaguely) thoughts continue under the cut.

legacy families like the byers who never pulled high-end jobs, content in their little pond being small-time crooks incapable of understanding why jonathan, with all his flawless lifts and situational awareness, would try to reach above and start in on the big jobs.

joyce who met lonnie on a job and joyce and jonathan who protect will from lonnie's frustration when will turns out to be an awful thief who doesn't enjoy crime the littlest bit. (he does turn out to be quite the forger when the time comes, though.)

contrast with that the wheelers who are an all-american halfway happy law-abiding family whose eldest, nancy, walks eyes front into a life of crime to protect her friend and finds that it becomes inevitable, a sort of ceaseless need to keep going. who never wanted her little brother involved.

but apparently the wheeler siblings have some sort of crime beacon on them because of course nancy quite literally crashes into her brother trying to take down the same scumbag two towns over she is, although he looks at her like she's crazy when she lays out her plan and man, what her little brother has planned is actually pretty clever and much more subtle than the approach she was gonna take. they have ground rules, but she doesn't try to keep him from pulling jobs. she knows it'd be useless.

dustin is an incredibly bright kid with what may be a slight tendency to go overboard in the name of Science. he loves blowing stuff up every now and again, okay?! and also it's just criminal (heh) what some pharma companies do so he might be breaking into their headquarters and screwing with their formulas and contaminating their experiments until he figures out how to take them down permanently. sue him! (but please don't actually sue him, he hasn't found a great lawyer yet.)

lucas on the other hand was dragged into crime kicking and screaming. not something he ever wanted to do. (will will understand but then lucas kind of loses him when he did it anyway.) mike and dustin sort of kidnapped him into it, basically, when they were all still strangers, dustin and mike barely partners on this one con, and they'd needed a patsy who worked for the corporation they're stealing from. unfortunately they were still young and dumb enough to pick someone actually smart who trapped them in an office until they copped to their scheme at which point lucas demanded proof of their accusations which coincidentally was exactly what mike anf dustin were after. after that they can’t really seem to separate. he's turned into a jack of all trades, lucas sinclair - grifter, thief, hitter... even the occasional hacker. not the greatest at any, but good at all.

(we don't talk about erica who will one day give him a heart attack blowing up his whole carefully crafted alibi.)

steve, the getaway driver who hates his fucking job and is in it only bc there was p much nothing else to do until he finds people who show him there's a way to do it that brings him joy, when he knows what he's fighting for.

robin's a strange sort of grifter, not someone who immediately charms everyone in a room, but who knows how to make herself either invaluable or severely underestimated. she speaks like every language under the sun. like steve she has a certain aimlessness at first but unlike steve it's not due to having no ideas but more of a thing of having no options. until they're offered to her. then she's unstoppable.

max is out there somewhere being a thief different from jonathan, self-made and scared and on the west coast. but if they were to meet jonathan would recognize those gritted teeth and the hard work. it's not natural talent that made her so good at what she does but pure stubbornness.

el, on the other hand, is all raw talent and exploited for it for a long time when she's a kid. it's will who meets her first, who gives her an out, but when it lands him in trouble it's the other criminals who help her get him out. joyce, mike and jonathan develop an instantaneous protective streak for her. lucas isn't sold and dustin is mostly in love with her demolitions capabilities and nancy is hungry for the dirt she has on various government agencies.

Driftwood

Max tries to comfort El, who's scared to start school... Max's chin rested in her palm as she watched El, something so easy and comfortable in the simplicity of looking at her. Recently, her heart always ached with matching tired limbs - but lying by El’s side helped almost as much as it hurt.

The creases in El’s face grew faint, morphing into something of curiosity. She mirrored Max, laying on her side, but her arm folded beneath her head like a pillow. Tears subsided, she studied Max closely by the individual planes of her face with careful brown eyes trailing over pale skin. She met Max’s eyes. “What do you do when you are scared?”
