#you might assume that this means i'm writing steve/eddie but actually both fics i've been working on have been aggressively platonic

tagged by the lovely @theimprobable1, whose trobed fics i find myself going back to over and over again. terribly sorry everyone but the stranger things brainrot has finally got to me, so you get this:

“This has absolutely nothing to do with Eddie,” Steve says blankly, trying not to make it obvious that he’s wearing Eddie’s t-shirt. At least he had the foresight not to pick the Hellfire tee when he left the trailer in a hurry earlier, or he may as well have been wearing a label that said ‘Property of Eddie Munson’ around his neck. Eddie probably would have loved that. Should he actually make a label? Change the subject, Steve.

if you are a writer and you want to share what you’ve been working on, please consider this an open invitiation!

No it's fine! I lose posts a lot, the tumblr notification system is trash I can never find anything and completely miss notifications half of the time. I almost missed your re-blog you made earlier.

And yes!! You're the only person in this fandom I've seen shipping the same things I do, I really like your posts and your takes on things.

Yeah I completely understand why it takes long to post stuff like that. I have lots of headcanons but I am also a perfectionist and I ALSO re-write everything over and over again, and I'm also very busy with everything lately that I never get to it. I would love to see your posts on the rare-pairs though, because as you said there's barely any content for any of it. I need to make some posts as well. The fact I keep shipping a new Jonathan ship every week is hurting me because I'm trying to at least get into other ships so I can connect to other people in the fandom, but Idk my Jonathan hyper fixation is just not helping </3 It's okay tbh, I like the very small Jonathan Byers appreciation corner because we are not crazy people and most of us will not argue unless you're dragging him for no reason. The other sides of the fandom (Especially the Nancy and Steve sides right now, I've seen them arguing so much lately it's actually insane they are very hostile.) argue a lot and I don't like the constant hostility of all of them, and again, in this small part of the fandom it's very peaceful.

YEAH. Honestly I like more and more ships everyday it feels like. I remember being obsessed with Jancy at first and then discovering every ship and snowballing from there.

Okay so I really love Stonathan, I mean I haven't been finding much new content for them lately, which is weird since it's a popular Jonathan ship. Stonathan was the first Jonathan ship I really loved and wrote fics about, but to be honest I don't really love them anymore. I kinda got bored of it and I like Jargyle way better now...

I love Jargyle, like a lot. Their dynamic has so much potential for angst and fluff (though I prefer angst) and people mostly see it as a crack ship which sucks. Also the ao3 tag for them is mostly filled with Steddie which makes me irrationally angry but besides that, the fics you DO find that are actually about them are gold. And I love writing them too. Jonathan finally getting a friend (and I'm assuming Jonathan is Argyle's first friend in a while too, going by the "you're my only friend" quote.) and a break, while also being able to talk about things without being judged and being an almost complete opposite from Argyle is just really adorable for me. Argyle cares for him so so much and Jonathan is also very grounding for Argyle especially when he's panicking and I think Argyle would do the same for Jonathan if he ever encountered Jonathan having a panic attack.

I also love the idea of maybe Eden x Argyle x Jonathan, I don't know what the name for that ship would be as literally no one ships them, but IDK they'd be really hilarious roommates and I've been dying to write a fic about that. I don't usually ship ot3 but they'd be cute.

Jeddie/Eddithan (IDK WHAT THEIR NAME IS everyone says something different but Jonathan x Eddie) is cute, they're both the outcasts of the school and considered freaks but they're still opposites, Jonathan being more quiet and Eddie being more outgoing. Jonathan would probably find Eddie annoying at first but then get used to him and eventually like him. They'd definitely smoke together too. There is literally no content of them though and if you dare to post ab them st fans will come running at you saying "they never interacted" let me dream okay...😭 ANd honestly I don't love Eddie but I think they might be cute. Not my favorite but I like them.

I honestly can't think of anything else....I don't know if my brains just foggy but I feel like I'm forgetting something idk.

Also Chrissy and Jonathan is also something I've never thought about before, but it could work!!! I think Jonathan would be way more caring than Eddie ever would've been lets be real... (Also ISTG if someone comes at me saying "Chrissy is 16" the duffers and grace confirmed she's 18 and she's also a senior so she literally can't be 16 anyways I don't know where people got that from but ok.)

Sorry for the very long post btw!!!! it's just very nice being able to talk about these ships when no one else in the ST fandom even recognizes Jonathan half the time, yk how it is yk.

@lovipop2049

I completely understand your feelings on it. Sometimes I really can't stand how dead the ships are and how there is never any content for them or barely any. Some of the ships don't even technically exist except in my mind, but overall, those ships have no content/barely any and is almost non existent in the fandom [like Tomathan/Sonathan/Byergrove/Conathan] or its a ship thats been dead and buried [like Stonathan]. And even Jargyle doesn't get a whole lot of attention and its the most popular Jonathan ship [besides Jancy probably].

But now I'm SO SO busy because of everything going on in life, that I'm not even really looking for content of those ships anymore because the little free time I do have: I'm spending it trying to write all my headcanon/stories ext down for each ship and create my own content for it before I forget it all and I can't even keep up with my own.

Even if I'm the only one who ever sees it, I need to get this stuff made and just don't have the time to keep up with it all. So basically as silly as it sounds, I'm so SWAMPED when it comes to catching up with all the Stonathan/Byergrove/Jancy/Tomathan/Stoncy/Conathan/Jargyle/Jommy [ext ext] content because while most of the ST fandom isn't even thinking about it or has never thought about it before-I am OBSESSING over it almost on a daily basis and can't keep up with all my own ideas and creations and content. I can't even be sad about it anymore that there is little to no content for these ships because I am getting WAY TOO MUCH Stonathan ext ext thrown at me everyday because of ME and my own thoughts. I can't ever get a break from it.

And it wouldn't be as bad if I only shipped Jonathan with one person, but instead its multiple people…AND I'm really crazy because I keep adding to the list of ships since a combo of two or more of the ships creates a whole new ship and dynamic. For example, I'll keep thinking about Stonathan and Byergrove and I love it on its own BUT WHAT IF…Steve AND Billy were both with Jonathan? What about if Tommy AND Steve were with Jonathan? What about if Billy, Steve, and Tommy were ALL with Jonathan? What about if Samantha and Nancy were both with Jonathan? What about if Eddie and Argyle both were with Jonathan? …and so the list of ships just keeps expanding and expanding even though most of the time its with those same seven people I ship him with…Although I'm adding to the list of people I ship him with too. So while the rest of the ST fandom is only paying attention to things like Steddie and Steve and Steve ships in general or Ronance… I'm doing whatever the hell this is. lol. So its gotten completely crazy and I'm kind of just suffering through this on my own.

Another thing thats been driving me crazy is trying to come up with ship names for these ships and it should be so simple but it isn't because I can never settle on one and set it in stone it keeps changing.
