Toothiana Concept Design Review

As promised, I tried to hunt down every single design of her and I think i got them all. (Or at least most.) It’s the Queen’s turn lets go, starting with her book designs!

According to Joyce, this is one of the earliest designs for Tooth. She started out as a suited human and not as a human-bird hybrid. If you squint you can see a widow’s peak/hairline on her head. She gives me more super hero-like vibes in this one and the peacock feathers are interesting! I can’t say I’m a fan of it. Below is another book design I found that is VERY similar to this one, so I grouped them together.

Rating: 4/10 Glad he made her more bird like.

As a bonus, here is the design for Tooth as a child. Her toy there looks almost like a tooth but I have no idea what it actually is. I like how u can see a tiny curl of her hair under the hat. Otherwise I don’t have a lot of thoughts on this one.

Rating: 4/10 Not a fan but this exists I guess. BUT SHE ALSO HAS A SWORD.

A tooth that appears in the Man In The Moon Picture book. (Heh it almost looks like shes hanging onto Aster’s sleeve here.) I just noticed shes got an F symbol on her bag that she has on the belt of her childhood outfit. She looks kinda angelic here ngl. Very wintery colors. Rating: 6/10 Wish she was more colorful just a little bit

THERE SHE IS. THE FINAL BOOK TOOTH. Her feathers are absolutely stunning and the feather-puffy pants combo is A LOOK(A good one). The only things I got that bother me is how round her head is at the top. If it had longer feathers that stuck out it’d look a little less weird. And one other thing

Ear Feathers?????? Don’t know why but this AINT A VIBE. Rating: 7/10 looks like a queen and the swords are badass

I cannot stress enough how many movie Tooth designs exist so buckle up.

Starting with a mysterious human looking Tooth, this design surfaced from this post 8 years ago. The original poster claimed it wasn’t from the movie credits and I couldn’t find any other trace of this design so it’s dubious at best. However I included it just in case it was in the movies/plans at some point of production. (I’m a little skeptical but oh well.) I do like how her outfit does look similar to real life outfits of her home region and she just looks gorgeous here.

Rating: Dubiously Canon/10

This one feels more stylistic but damb I gotta appreciate how intricate her feathers look. Looks like she’s right out of a storybook and it’s very appealing.

Rating: 6/10 Not many thoughts just love her

A fascinating one I found in my search. This was one of three designs that had Tooth in a mask but if you squint you can see she has a knife/dagger. So she would have had that blade wielding quirk like her book counterpart. She looks a bit more human in this one(At least in my opinion) The little flared collar is a nice touch that I oddly like. She looks like a fairy queen here for sure. She almost reminds me of a fencer Rating: 5/10 Good but too human

The other masked Tooth! There are, a lot of thoughts I have about this one. The colors are GREAT and so are her wings. Her body however reminds me of the suited Tooth design Joyce had drawn up. It looks almost like shes wearing a shirt with holes in it over a pink one and I just don’t know how to feel about it. Something is just off about this one.

Rating: 3/10 Wings r great throw the rest away

Another rare Tooth. She looks very similar to the one above and still has that mask. Or it could just be her actual head and not a mask this whole time! What a twist. Anyway, given the lighting it’s hard to tell what her base colors were but I’ll work with what we got. She’s a little less colorful looking than the other Tooths so it’s a little disappointing. Her wings are still quite impressive in my opinion.

Rating: 5/10 It’s nice but very one note in this concept image color wise

Now this Tooth is an interesting one. She ditched the bird theming all together and is more butterfly themed. She’s more humanoid here but something about this design just hits a sweet spot for me. It’s very simple but I can’t explain it. Also I’m weak for her head covering/hood(?)

Rating: 8/10 Ignore the very blue white haired Sasuke lookin guy in her arms

Excuse the very poor image quality here. I could only find it in this resolution so we gotta squint on this one. This one.. Call me weak but its one of my favorites. Her puffy pants make a return and they look like actual clothes! Her feather-cloak is a nice touch. I *think* this Tooth has hair if you look close but it’s hard to tell. It works in this design oddly works! Rating: 8/10 No complaints! Just that its so JPEGY AAAAA

Oh man Y’all I

Her energy itself is powerful. This Tooth feels older than the final design and has a very seasoned look to her. Call me a simp I DONT CARE. She’s such a queen here and I can’t get over it

She lives in my head rent free and I will never ask her to pay rent. I’ll PAY HER. If I was forced to pick a favorite Tooth, it’s this one. She has fantasy elements and traits that remind me of an Indian Queen.

Rating: 10/10 Y’all already know i simp for this one I dont need to put anything else here.

The final Tooth having gold feathers to imitate jewelry is just as good so I have no complaints about her. Her eyes are absolutely stunning

They sort of remind me of a mosaic with light shining on it or gemstones even. That and her eyelashes are so on point. I fuckin ADORE THEM. No lash glue needed those are all natural baby. Additionally, she’s very humming bird themed(which is excellent) but her wings actually look more like dragon fly wings

Curious since they are one of(if not the) fastest flying insect. It makes sense when you see how fast Tooth can zip around. It never occurred to me until dragonflies came around this season and I watched them closely. Overall I adore this version of her all the same.

Rating: Macabre Queen of Teeth/10

another hopper! reader hc or fic babe?maybe continue the one you already wrote because that was super cute! like interactions between hopper and billy would be hilarious

based on this headcanon

aight lets imagine that hopper was able to take max and billy away from their shitty home life

and because he’s a huge softie at heart

papa bear hopper comes out and he lets them stay at your house

it would take them both so long to get used to their new settings

but after about a month max would join in on el’s excitement to be living with her best friend

my babies

billy would take much longer to sort of get used to it

like every slam of a door would still make him jump

or when your dad would come home drunk after a night out with his work mates billy would be sent into a panic attack

and while hop set up the spare room for him and max to sleep in

billy would often find himself sneaking into your room in the middle of the night because

“i sleep better when i’m next to you - somehow you stop the nightmares.”

max would also sneak into el’s room too while they gossiped about mike and lucas

but billy would creep back into his respective room when the sun rose not wanting to piss off your dad

however, one time billy would finally be getting a proper nights rest

like baby boy was full snoring

he hadn’t been able to sleep properly like that for a long time

so that’s how your dad would find you when he walked into your room to wake you up for breakfast

billy’s head on your chest

your legs intertwined

he’d clear his throat to try to wake you both

but when he realised that wasn’t going to work he’d roll his eyes and let out a ‘wake up!”

Billy would jump up like a flash of lightening

immediately spluttering out apologies and excuses like

“im so sorry sir”

“i didn’t want to be disrespectful - it’s just that your daughter has a good chest to lay on… wait! no! shit! i didn’t mean like her, you know? boobs. I mean’t like her chest.”

all while you sat there and looked between the pair

your dad would shake his head and chuckle under his breath

because the hargrove kid was actually a huge dork

and raise his palm so billy would stop rambling

“i was just coming to wake you both for breakfast. I know you’ve been sneaking in here for the last couple of weeks Billy, you’re not light on your feet… also don’t talk about my daughters chest to me again.”

with that he’d leave your room

and billy would let out a sigh of relief before crawling back on top of you

burying his face in your neck and letting out a string of “thank gods”

billy would 100% take y’all to school in the morning and drive you home at night

hopper would be reluctant at first

you know that he had to give our boy a couple of speeding tickets

and he would probably make billy go to a safe driving course just to be safe lmfao

but your dad would eventually get used to it

always telling billy to “drive safe hargrove or your body wont be found”

once y’all got home from school you and billy would be studying on the kitchen table while the girls studied in the living room

and you’d have this huge biology exam the next day

so you told everyone not to distract you

putting on your headphones and listening to your songs through your walkman

but then el would walk over to your table not understanding a word

like the lil angel asked max what it meant and not even our firecracker knew

so she’d go to tap you on the shoulder but billy would stop her

gesturing to the seat next to him

so she’d shuffle over to the chair and sit down

pushing her book in front of him before pointing to the word

and billy would chuckle and be like

“you don’t know what catastrophic means?”

and el would shake her head while trying to say the word out loud after billy gave her the definition

billy wouldn’t say it but the girl that was weirdly named after a number was starting to weave her way into his heart

as was max who had joined the three of you at the table, tossing billy her math homework

billy would raise his eyebrows and be like “what do you need maxine?”

the girl would roll her eyes and sigh

she doesn’t like to ask for help

so billy would scan over the blue sheet of paper with circles that were cut into half and quarters

“let me guess, you don’t know how to write these pie diagrams as fractions, huh?”

max would bite her lip and shake her head while billy grabbed a pencil and turned the paper to face her

beginning to explain the concepts to his lil sister

from then on this kind of became a routine

billy would help the girls with the homework first before doing his own

and you’d always comment about how he’d make a good middle school teacher

which he’d groan about and tell you to “bugger off”

we stan a king who is trying to not swear as much around kids

because there was no way that he was going to become a teacher

but when the time came for y’all to put in college applications

don’t try to tell me that he wouldn’t ask you to help him write a application for middle school teaching

he’d so get accepted pls don’t kill my dreams

after a while billy would probably get tired of his mullet

the only reason he grew his hair was to spite his dad who said long hair was for “pussies” and “belonged on girls”

so he’d tell you that he’d meet you at dustins house where everyone was hanging out after because he had to do something first

you wouldn’t pry but would give him an “okay, see you then” kissing him goodbye and driving off

billy would stare at himself for a really long time in the mirror with a pair of scissors in his hand

he kept going to cut it but then stopping himself

until he heard the familiar sound of hoppers voice followed by a womans that he recognised as joyce byers

so he’d walk out of the bathroom

ultimately halting their conversation

and hopper would glance between the nervous boy and the scissors in his hand

and just let out a “what are you doing, son?”

billy would try not to smile at the fact that HOPPER just referred to him as son

but would nonchalantly raise the scissors and look between the pair of adults

“i-uh, was thinking of cutting my hair.”

joyce would smile before gesturing him over to the kitchen table offering to do it for him

when billy finally arrived at dustins he’d knock before letting himself in once he heard the kids yell an “it’s open!”

and all conversation would come to a stop

the party would stare at him in shock

while you’d stand up from your position on the couch next to harrington who had his mouth opened in an ‘o’

you’d walk over while raising a questioning eyebrow

“you cut your hair?”

billy would shrug and nervously look down at his shoes

“thought it was time for a change. do you not like it?”

your hands would run through his short locks and billy would shut his eyes

he loved when you played with his hair okay

and you’d kiss his cheek, telling him that you loved it

while leaning up on your tip-toes to whisper in his ear

“i can still pull on it while you go down on me.”

billy would b l u s h

and cough to stop himself from being turned on then and there

max would smile at him and give him a thumbs up before returning to the D&D game

el would just give him a loud “badass” before also joining back in the game

billy wouldn’t admit it but having yours and the girls approval meant the world to him

it wouldn’t stop him from telling steve to “bag your face harrington” when steve started talking to him though

don’t even talk to me about how much billy would love ‘family dinners’

his blood related family never had dinner together

so when your dad brought home beer and pizza every friday night

while you all sat in the living room just lounging around eating and talking

he fucking loved it

domestic! billy has me soft™️

he. deserved. better.

we’re gonna pretend the final ep of s3 didn’t happen okay? cool

I WENT CRAZY ON THIS TERRIBLE HC IM SORRY

What do you think of steve and robin and Jonathan amd nancy sharing a storyline together? I dont think its actually gonna happen, but hypothetically how do you think it would go?

God, I wish the four of them would have a storyline together! I think that it would be incredibly fun to see them investigating some sort of mystery, especially if it had something to do with the Russian plot from S3. I think that a Steve/Robin/Nancy/Jonathan team would be SO full of interesting relationship dynamics that I’ll try and explore really quick.

Robin and Nancy: Nancy’s canonically a little hostile to Robin during their brief interaction in the mall, Robin canonically thinks Nancy is a bit of a priss, and they’re both rather headstrong, so I think there’s a good chance that they’d clash pretty spectacularly if they were working together and disagreed on something. There’s also the fact that Robin is canonically rather protective of Steve, and Nancy “broke his heart.” If he’s told her about what happened in S2, then I could see her vague “hm she’s a priss” feelings about Nancy growing into genuine dislike. Then again, Robin was being pretty friendly to Nancy when they met in the mall, and she saw Nancy staying in place and firing at Billy before Steve rammed the car, so she might actually respect her! Nancy didn’t recognize Robin at the mall even though they’re in the same grade at school and likely have classes together. This might contribute to some potential issues, as Robin’s clearly a little upset about Steve overlooking her in high school and she’s insecure about being “invisible.” There are a lot of unknowns between the two of them, and I personally like to write them as being pretty passive-aggressive with each other and sharing a mutual dislike because I think it’s funny, but in canon they could go in a lot of different directions!

Robin and Jonathan: God, I just know these two would be GOLD together. There’s honestly a good chance that they already know each other, considering that they’re the same age, go to the same school, and are both sorta social outcasts. Maybe they’ve worked on group projects together before, or sat at the same lunch table. They’re almost certainly aware of each other, which provides the potential for some interesting messing around with perceptions vs reality. Like, all Robin probably knows about Jonathan before S3 is that he’s the weird kid, he’s poor, his little brother went missing for a while and miraculously turned up alive when they thought he had died, and one time he beat Steve Harrington’s ass. She probably liked him after that lmao. After S3, she knows that Jonathan is all of the above, PLUS he “stole” Steve’s girlfriend, he’s fought monsters before, and he cut into a girl’s leg on a moment’s notice without any real hesitation. She probably thinks he’s some kind of stone-cold badass! It would be super fun to watch them get to know each other beyond those surface-level impressions, and I think they’d probably have a lot to talk about, seeing as they’re both canonically pretty into “alternative” music and obscure/cult films! I think that they’d probably end up getting into some intense debates about shit that Nancy and Steve don’t understand and it would be fun. Nancy and Steve might end up getting a little offended or jealous that their respective People are getting along so well, and that dynamic could be fun to see. I like writing Robin and Jonathan as having a pretty antagonistic friendship, where they rip on each other’s taste in music, movies, literature, etc, and toss around casual insults, but genuinely enjoy spending time together, but since they haven’t interacted really at all, canon could take them in any direction. Also, they’re both gay.

Robin and Steve: y’all know... y’all know!!! Steve and Robin would be in full best friend mode, working perfectly in tandem, and Nancy and Jonathan might even be intimidated by how “on the same page” they are. They’d also likely assume Steve and Robin were dating, which could lead to some funny interactions. Steve and Robin would provide a sturdy base of friendship and cooperation, allowing the rest of the group to have all the arguments and interpersonal drama that they want.

Steve and Nancy: GOD, I want to see how Steve and Nancy interact post-breakup! I think they’d be so awkward and funny. More than that, though, I think it would be fun to see how Robin and Jonathan factor into things. For example, Robin absolutely functions better with Steve than Nancy ever did, and it could be interesting for Nancy to watch the two of them together and see how Steve has changed since they dated. I also think that it would be interesting to see whether they fall back into familiar patterns or whether they’ve grown totally apart from each other. Do they casually touch each other and then pull back self-consciously when they remember? Do they avoid speaking to each other unless they have to, or do they play it cool? Does Steve recognize things from his own past while watching Nancy and Jonathan interact? They tend to approach things rather differently, so might they get into an argument about how to proceed with the mission? How would it escalate if they did? Would one of them bring up past transgressions? There’s SO MUCH left unsaid between the two of them, and Robin and Jonathan are the perfect people to have around to drive them to confront and discuss these things.

Steve and Jonathan: So, I ship Stonathan. Let’s just get that out of the way. I would love to see them bond and fall in love. Beyond that, though, speaking in terms of canon, I think that they would be a little awkward at first, but ultimately end up working really well together. Unlike Nancy and Robin who both tend to run headfirst into danger for fun, they both like to mind their own business until some shit comes up, and then they’ll do what they have to do to keep themselves and the people they care about safe. If they were united behind a common goal, I think they’d focus on that goal. There also isn’t really much for them to butt heads over, at this point, when you consider that their plans of action in emergency situations both tend to prioritize safety above all else and they’d probably not disagree over anything mission-related. Jonathan let out his frustrations over Steve’s S1 behavior, Steve apologized and saved Jonathan’s life, so that’s all cool between them. Steve doesn’t seem to harbor any hard feelings towards Jonathan after S2, even encouraging Nancy to go with Jonathan and support him when he and Joyce are headed to the cabin to burn the Mind Flayer out of Will, and he’s over Nancy now, so I don’t think that would really be an issue. Their interactions would be free of malice, and I think it could be fun to watch them bond and progress from awkward acquaintances to true friends!

Jonathan and Nancy: We already know that their relationship doesn’t fare too well under pressure, as evidenced by S3. Steve and Robin being in the mix would absolutely add to the pressure of whatever serious Russian/Upside-Down situation was at hand, so I think there’s a good chance they’d end up arguing again, and it would be INCREDIBLY uncomfortable for Steve and Robin! They would probably try to limit their romantic interactions in front of Steve, because that shit’s awkward, Jonathan is shy, and he and Nancy probably both still feel a little guilty about how things went down in S2. This would, of course, be weird, and Steve would be like “guys, seriously, I’m over it, you can kiss or whatever and I don’t care,” which would make things SO much more uncomfortable. It would be a mess! A fun one!

So, TL;DR, I think there would be a lot of drama, a lot of discomfort, but also a lot of opportunity for characters who haven’t interacted yet much to bond! There would definitely be a blowout argument or two, most likely between Robin/Nancy or Nancy/Jonathan, with Steve attempting to mediate or break it up so they can focus on their mission. Robin and Jonathan would more or less get along. Steve would be extremely stressed the entire time, and it would be extremely fun (for us, not him). Overall, they would all have unique relationships with each other, and despite any drama they would certainly all risk their lives to keep the others safe, which I think would make for an incredibly dynamic and interesting group!

Kill the Lights // Chapter 3

Steve Harrington x Original Female Character

Summary: After Violet- formally 003, a telekinetic, electrokenetic, and clairvoyant 19 year old- loses her first family, her first love, nothing is the same. She finds herself taken in by Hopper and El, struggling to find her footing and meaning to keep fighting. The Party, especially Steve Harrington, try to show her where her strengths have been hiding all along, and that no one has to fight their battles alone. Sometimes you don’t need to be rescued, but someone’s love and support while you rescue yourself sure doesn’t hurt.

Word count: 3,892 (was over 6k but I found somewhere to make a break in there lol. Yikes.)

Content warnings: PTSD, depression, grieving/loss of a loved one, mentions of self harm & suicidal thoughts, cursing, angst

Author’s note: This chapter is much brighter than the previous one, I swear. There’s soft hearted wholesome fluff if you squint!! Had to split it because it got so damn long, but there’s just a lot to cover with Violet’s backstory. It’s finally leading up to where it needs to for her and certain people to grow certain bonds with one another. (I told y’all it’s a slow burn. Slow-ish? Kinda sorta slow burn. Whatever. It ain’t happening just yet.) Just saying. Anyway. Thank you to anyone who’s liked and/or reblogged so far!! Hope you enjoy this chapter!

Chapter 3: Stranger Than Earth

A few nights had passed since Violet’s attempt, and she still felt the heaviness weigh her heart down, but she was trying. She was putting more effort into her life, little by little.

Back at the Byers’ house that night, she put the most positive effort and energy into herself in months, slowly opening up to El and Steve about her past. At the lab, and with Amy. She talked about how Amy and her weren’t just friends, like they seemed to the world around them. How she fell in love for the very first time, and how she wished it wasn’t so negatively viewed by society to fall for someone the same as you.

“Why is that bad? Isn’t being in love always good?” El asked, still blissfully unaware of the unnecessary hate this world held for those they didn’t understand.

“I thought the same- and still do. Some people just judge out of fear of what they don’t know. Apparently it’s seen as something that makes you ‘sick’ or ‘bad’... it never felt that way to me, though. I always kind of knew I could like whoever, I just assumed it was normal for everyone to love whoever they fell for, regardless of gender.” Violet explained. “Guess that might be one of the only good things growing up in the lab gave us. We were shielded from learning unnecessary hate like that.”

El nodded in understanding. “That’s silly. It’s not like you’re hurting yourself or anyone around you by showing love to someone who loves you back.”

Violet agreed, smiling at El. “You’ve got a good head on your shoulders and a kind heart, kiddo. Don’t ever lose those.”

Steve opened his mouth like he wanted to say something, but closed it, looking off like he was rethinking his sentence.

Violet curled up on the couch while watching him, pulling the blanket up closer over her body. It had a worn feel to it, like it had been on this couch and used as a sense of comfort by this family for years. Violet loved that. That comfort could be found in the simplest places. It was harder to find back at the lab. Practically nonexistent.

“So does...” He started off, still looking like he was choosing his next set of words carefully, “... does that mean you’re....”

He paused, and his eyes flicked up to Violet’s face, who was watching him with patience.

“That I’m... ?”

“Like y’know...... Uh....”

“Steve, what are you trying to ask here?” Violet asked with a soft giggle. “I appreciate the cautionary tone, but just spit it out.”

“So do you just like girls?” He asked, his question came out rushed and jumbled together.

“Okay, I thought that’s where you were going with that.” Violet laughed again, shaking her head. “I just..... kinda like people. If I like someone, I like ‘em for them. Amy said there was a name for that, that I’m ‘bisexual’, but I kinda never paid much mind to the label. I only really ever loved one person, anyway. Thought I’d be with her forever.”

Violet realized how sad the end of her response was, but it was true, even if a bit naive. She shook her head, almost trying to shake the thoughts from her mind.

“Does Hopper know?” He asked, this time in a more hushed tone. Violet rolled her eyes.

“He does, but he ignores it. Called Amy my friend when he told me the bad news. Still does.” Violet answered. She glanced over to El before she spoke again. “Don’t tell him I’m telling you all of this, he’d probably think I’m trying to brainwash his kid or some shit.”

El laughed, “Promise. He’s silly too if he’s going to act like a jerk about it anyway. I’m sorry, Vi.”

“It’s okay. I’m kinda used to it by now. Kinda surprised you guys aren’t freaked out too.”

“So... you’re different from us in one way,” Steve started. “Big deal. It’s cool you know who you are, and are honest with yourself. That’s a bigger deal. And you’re happy with that part of you, and you being happy is what should matter most to your friends and family.”

“Thank you.” Violet whispered, smiling softly towards him. He smiled back at her.

The front door kicked open, startling all three of them to look over and see the Party piling through the doorway. El threw her head into her hands, and Steve groaned, annoyed.

“You have powers?!” Mike yelled over at Violet. She began to shrink into herself, startled by the yelling.

The other three boys with him, Will, Dustin and Lucas, as El has shown Violet photos of them before, pushed past Mike to yell, “El has another sister?!” And “How long has she been living with you guys?!” Followed by “Can you throw me across the room with your mind?!”

A girl with fire red hair shoved through them all, stopping dead in her tracks when she saw Violet. “Holy shit. Another badass girl with powers? In Hawkins? No fucking way.”

“Language! Jesus, where you guys learn these words?” Hopper’s voice boomed through the house before he stomped back into the living room.

“Uh, adults like you, duh.” Dustin sassed back. Hopper glared, but knew the kid had a point.

An older boy walked through the doorway, looking exhausted and annoyed.

“Jonathan, I told you to keep the kids under control!” Joyce scolded the older boy. He sighed and shook his head.

“Sorry, Mom. They heard the code red over their walkies too, and wouldn’t shut up ‘till I brought them over.” He responded. Joyce sighed.

By this point, Violet was shaking, startled by all the sudden activity. Steve noticed and immediately stood from his spot on the couch next to her.

“Guys, seriously, give her some space, okay?” He started while walking over to the kids, gently shoving them towards the kitchen. They began to argue all at once, wanting to meet the new, mysterious member of the Hopper family, but Steve was growing frustrated with them. “Let’s go, shitheads! Crash course on manners, now!”

Violet felt her body relax, not realizing how much she was tensed up. Steve glanced back at her, his face cringed up. She could sense he felt bad while also wanted to make sure she was okay. Violet smiled softly, mouthing a “Thank you” to him.

“Well,” El started with a sheepish look, “that’s the Party. Sorry about that.”

“It’s okay, kiddo. I want to finally formally meet them, just... maybe not tonight. I’m so sleepy.”

“I bet you are. You really need a solid night’s sleep.” Hopper said, also looking exhausted. “We should head home, okay? We can come back for your bike tomorrow.”

Violet tiredly nodded, shrugging the blanket off as she stood. Goosebumps immediately grew upon her skin, and she shivered.

Joyce must have noticed, because she said, “Take the blanket with you, sweetheart. I don’t want you to be cold.”

“I have my jacket, it’s okay.” Violet responded, grabbing her jacket that was on the floor next to the couch. Joyce shook her head, picking up the blanket and handing it over to Violet.

“It’s okay. Maybe it’ll bring you some comfort while you try to sleep later.” She said, giving Violet a warm smile. It’s as if she knew Violet’s earlier thought of how something so simple could bring her so much comfort and feeling of ease. Violet was yet again impressed by Joyce’s motherly instincts.

“Thank you” she whispered, gently clutching it close to her body.

“El, go ahead and say goodnight to your friends. You can see them tomorrow.” Hopper said to El, and she nodded, starting off for the kitchen. Before she got much further, Violet gently grabbed her shoulder.

“Can... can you tell them I’m sorry? Tell them I’d like to meet them soon, I just need time.” She said, her voice barely above a whisper. El smiled at her.

“Violet, it’s okay. They’ll understand. They did for me, they will for you.” El said, and walked off before Violet could say anything more. A small but strong swell of hope washed through Violet’s heart.

“C’mon kid, let’s go to the car, she’ll be out soon.” Hopper said, walking Violet to the door. El followed shortly after they got in the car. Hopper started it up, looking over at Violet in the front seat before pulling away from the house.

She was wrapped up in the blanket, already falling asleep.

———

Some time had passed, since the attempt, and Violet felt more comfortable leaving the room she shared with El. Slowly but surely, she felt like she could spend time watching TV with El in the living room, spend warm nights on the porch mindlessly chatting away with Hopper and El, or try helping Hopper make food for the three of them. Keyword, try. But trying was better than before. She might have been awful at making most things, but she was learning, and growing out of her shell little by little with each interaction with her found family.

Violet was good at one thing for sure, and that was planting and growing flowers. Even if she was just an ordinary girl without these psychic abilities, she most certainly had a green thumb.

Her abilities helped, though. She couldn’t lie about that.

Violet assumed it tied in with her healing abilities, though she never tried to bring anyone back to life. Just flowers and plants. If they got a little too much sun, or not enough water, whatever the case, she was able to breathe life back into them with ease. Flowers dying rarely happened under her watch, though.

When Violet first moved into the cabin, she noticed dried up, dead flowers sporadically planted among the front of the porch. Right away, she wanted to fix them. It’s something she did best. Something that made her feel so useful. But she had no energy during that time, no motivation in sight.

Now, with her new outlook on life growing slowly, she finally felt the energy to try it out. She wasn’t as confident; had been even longer before Amy passed where she brought flowers to life, seeing as she died in the bitter end of winter, transitioning to early spring.

“El, c’mere. I wanna show you something cool... well, if it works.” Violet said to El, bouncing down the porch steps and into the sun. El followed closely behind her.

It was mid-May. The sunshine was growing warmer each day. Most of the flowers and plants and trees had come back to life with the April showers, but some were struggling and left behind.

Violet crouched down by the side of the stairs, near some dandelions. Some were blooming bright, others were wilted in muted shades.

“Violet, those are weeds.” El said, confused.

“Your dad calls them that, but they’re just misunderstood flowers.” Violet said, glancing up at El who stood next to her. “They’re really important for the honeybees. And they’re misunderstood, too. They do a lot of good work for the world, helps us out with so much in the cycle of life.”

Violet knew she was rambling, but El still seemed fascinated in what she had to say anyway.

“So, why does my dad always complain about them?” She asked.

“I dunno... parents ... adults in general seem to really hate weeds. But most of them are just doing their part in the ecosystem anyway. It helps our surroundings survive, which helps us humans and animals survive too.” Violet rambled some more. “I’m gonna try to dig out my plant and flower books for you, if you’d like, of course! It might even help you when you start school.”

El’s smile grew wide, “I’d like that. There’s so much to learn.”

“There really is.” Violet smiled back at her, sitting cross legged on the ground. El mirrored her actions. “I try to learn as much as I can now that I’m free. You’ll have more opportunities since you’ll get to start school later this year. I saw your English books in your room, though. I’m really proud of you for the progress you’ve made in the short time I’ve lived with you guys.”

El beamed this time, causing Violet’s smile to grow so wide, her face hurt. What neither of them saw was Hopper, standing at the screen door, watching over his girls with pride and joy as they bonded. His smile was probably the biggest.

“Thank you, Violet. That all means a lot to me. The Party has been helping me too.” She said, still grinning.

“I bet. They seem like a great group of friends. You lucked out with them.” Violet responded. “Okay. Sorry. I got sidetracked. Lemme show ya what I wanted to earlier.”

Violet moved to her knees, leaning as low as she could to the ground and further towards the dying dandelions. She raised her hands around the flowers, almost cupping the bunch without touching them. A warm, soft glow grew from her hands and surrounded the flowers.

El’s eyes grew wide as she watched her sister in amazement.

Violet inhaled deeply, before gently exhaling her breath onto the flowers. The longer she exhaled, the more they slowly rose back to life. The stems no longer mushy and wobbly, the heads gained color back. It was watching death in reverse. El had never seen anything else like this.

“No way....” El whispered, eyes darting back and forth between the flower and Violet. The screen door opened, and the girls looked up at Hopper, who also had his jaw dropped, gazing at Violet’s work in awe.

“Holy shit, kid....” He breathed out. “I didn’t know you could do that.”

Violet stood to her feet, and brushed her hands free from dirt on her shorts. “It’s kinda with the healing thing, I guess. I dunno. Never knew I could do that until Amy and I were planting flowers, and repotting old ones... to be honest, there’s a lot I haven’t told you-”

“That’s incredible, what the fuck?!”

Violet, El, and Hopper spun around to see Steve walking up to them with eyes wide. None of them heard him pull up. The passenger and back doors slammed shut too, with the kids all walking up too. Violet tensed up a bit, but El noticed, and grabbed her hand. Violet glanced over at her, giving her a thankful smile.

“Sorry to kinda show up unannounced, the kids wanted to see El today ... and Vi, if she is okay with that... and maybe spend some time outside, since it’s so nice out.” Steve explained, giving an apologetic look to all three of them, but especially to Violet. He knew she was still wary about new people. Hell, she was still wary about him. But after the night Steve found her at the quarry with El’s help, she figured she can try to trust him.

And boy, how ridiculously easy that seemed to come for her. It was unexpected, but still a pleasantly surprising feeling.

Hopper opened his mouth to speak, probably to scold the kids for being so careless in pushing Violet out of her comfort zone again, when Violet spoke up first.

“It... it’s okay. I uh.... I wanted to show El what I can do with the flowers-“

“Well, they’re actually weeds-“ Hopper interrupted.

“Dad, no they’re not.” El interjected in his interruption, glaring up at him. Hopper’s face twisted into confusion, while Violet had to hold back her laughter.

“Anyway... It’s been awhile since I’ve actually done it, but I guess I still can. Uh, bring them back to life, I mean.” Violet finished. Steve’s jaw was still dropped in awe, and the kids were all looking at Violet with the widest eyes, filled with all the curiosity they could hold.

“Can you do it again?” Will asked, almost so quietly, Violet could have missed it if she wasn’t so focused in this moment. Violet’s smile slowly grew again, and she nodded. She waved her hand over to any of them that wanted to watch again, and surely enough, everyone crowded around her in a circle. El was still right next to Violet, but grabbed Will’s shoulders and gently pushed him to be closer, since he was the one who asked. Will crouched down next to Violet, the rest of the kids crowded by her side, while Hopper and Steve stood on the porch steps, and leaned over to watch.

“Ready?” She said, looking over at Will. His shyness came back full force, as he could only muster up a nod in response to her. She smiled gently before gazing back at the wilted dandelion. The warm, soft glow grew again from her hands, and she leaned closer to breathe onto the flower, just like the last time.

As it grew back to life, the kids all gasped and “oohs” and “aaahhss” echoed around her. Violet felt the warm joy in her heart, the one she felt when she made others smile or feel happy. It’s been so long since she felt that, until today. Now it was the second time just in one day. She was grateful to feel something other than pain and numbness like she had been non-stop.

“El, could you do that?” Dustin asked El, and she glanced down, shaking her head no.

“Maybe someday, though. That one came with practice for me.” Violet said after noticing her sister’s smile shift to a small frown. “I think all of us, whoever else was there at the lab, have different abilities. Like, El is able to move larger and heavier objects with her mind, things that I couldn’t even imagine to try moving myself. That’s pretty bitchin’.”

El smiled up at her sister again, thankful for her input. Though she knew her friend meant no harm by the original question.

“Did she tell you the time she levitated too?” Hopper joined in, also eager to talk his kid up. This time, Violet’s jaw dropped.

“No?!” She exclaimed. “El, you didn’t tell me about this at all! That’s so awesome!”

“The story with it is wild too.” Mike added.

“Yeah, our part was crazy too. Not as crazy as what Hopper and El were doing, but still insane.” Lucas joined in.

“You know about the upside down and stuff, right?” Max asked, seeing Violet’s confused and intrigued face. Violet nodded.

“Yeah... they made me go in at one point, it was terrible. But that’s another story. I thankfully don’t have much more experience past that.”

“Okay, what about the demogorgon and demodogs?” Dustin asked.

“Demogorgons, yeah. Fought one once. The fuck is a demodog, though?” Violet asked, even more confused now. Hopper shot her a warning glance, probably because she cursed. She didn’t get why he tried enforcing the no cussing thing, because he knew damn well nobody followed that rule.

“We might wanna get snacks for this one.” Mike said.

“Yeah, it’s a long story, if you wanna hear it.” El said.

“Yeah, of course kiddo. I got all the time in the world.” She responded, then looked at Steve. “Where were you in all of this?”

“Well I-“

“He got his ass kicked by my step-brother-“

“That’s only one part, why do you guys always talk about that first!” He said, sighing and throwing his head back. Violet giggled.

“Okay, okay, okay. Everyone grab a popsicle from the freezer and come back out here, and then y’all are gonna tell me the story from the very beginning.” Violet announced, grinning as the kids rushed into the cabin. She was feeling okay. This felt okay. More than that. She felt so at ease with them all.

As the kids all yelled about which flavors they claimed and Hopper tried fairly handing them out (a hilarious sight through the outside window, seeing a ton of small grabby hands surrounding a very large, grumpy dad.), Steve turned back to Violet, taking advantage of the peace between the two of them.

“You handled that really well. I’m sorry again we didn’t call to give you guys a heads up.” He said to her, leaning against the railing of the stairs, facing them. Violet leaned against it, her body facing the opposite way, as she moved closer to Steve. Their hands were close enough on the railing to feel heat radiating off one another, but not close enough to touch. Violet felt her face heat up, and she looked down, suddenly fascinated in the creaky step she balanced on.

“It’s okay. It might have been a good push, y’know?” She tried to reassure him, but she could sense he was still worried and mentally beating himself up over it. “I can’t stay stuck in this sadness forever. I don’t think I’m ever gonna fully get over what happened, but I know if I wasted this life, Amy would come back from the dead and kick my ass if she could.”

Steve laughed, looking down at Violet, who mustered up the courage to look back at him. Whenever their eyes locked, she felt her stomach flip, and would dart her eyes away again. This time, she tried her hardest to hold her eyes locked with his.

“Why do you worry so much?” Violet asked, regretting it as soon as it slipped. Steve’s face contorted in confusion.

“What do you mean?”

“I just... ugh-“ Violet tried to find the words to explain, “I can sense it. Whenever we speak, you’re so worried you’re saying the wrong things. You weren’t always like that, right? Second guessing yourself. You had more confidence awhile ago.”

Steve stared off, his eyes from darting hers now. “Is this one of your abilities?” He asked, tone slightly defensive, avoiding what she said.

Violet sighed, “Listen. There’s a lot to me. A lot. Abilities, baggage, you name it. I’m not sure if you or any of the others are ready to hear it.”

Steve stepped onto the same step as Violet, faces dangerously close for comfort. He looked down at her before speaking up.

“Try me.”

Violet opened her mouth to argue when the screen door slammed open, kids filing out to sit on the porch.

“We brought you guys some popsicles!” El said, walking over to the older teens, handing them two sealed frozen treats. As she did, she noticed the tension, and shoved the pops further between the two, walking away as soon as they grabbed them, mumbling “thanks.”

“Alright, story time! Let’s go you two!” Dustin yelled, and Steve glanced down at Violet once more before stepping back and sitting on one of the steps. She followed.

“So, maybe we should start from the very beginning?” Will said.

“Yeah! When we found El looking for Will when he disappeared!” Lucas exclaimed.

Violet turned her body to the kids, shaking the tension off of what just happened between her and Steve, replacing it as best as she could with her full attention on them as Mike started retelling the events first.

As she listened to the Party’s grand retelling of the events with the Mind Flayer and demodogs, her mind still drifted off. She couldn’t help wonder what Steve meant, and it sat in the back of her mind the rest of the afternoon.

Question:

(This escalates into a rant—you’ve been warned)

Why do people always think Nancy is pregnant? It happened before season 2 with this clip from the trailer:

And now it’s happening with this clip:

I just don’t understand lmao.

Why do people choose to focus on her sexuality and ignore the rest of her?

•like when she went from a cliché good girl to a complete badass in season 1?

•or how in season 2, she went from trying to suppress her emotions over losing her best friend to deciding that enough is enough. The people responsible are just going to keep getting away with everything that happened. So she shut down an entire government experiment at the age of 17.

•or when she defended herself after her “loving” boyfriend slut-shamed her in front of the entire town

•Or when she climbed into an alternate dimension for her best friend.

•Or when she was left traumatized by the fact that she couldn’t save Barb

•Or when she decided to swallow her emotions, and chose to spend time with Barb’s parents even though it ate away at her soul because they needed her

•Or when she was there for the Byers during a literal exorcism and snapped into action, saving Joyce’s life

•Or when she squared up with a bigass gun (I don’t know the different types lol) when the mindflayer figured out their location

•Or how she saw her little brother’s friend all alone at a middle school dance and got his confidence back up

Nancy Wheeler is all that and more so why do people only expect a teenage drama cliché out of her in season 3?

[i think some of y’all know why and just don’t want to say it]

Stranger Things Season 3 Thoughts

I watched all of season 3 of Stranger Things in one day so everything should be fresh in my mind.

El gained a friend in Max, which she desperately needed from spending all her time with controlling adults and middle school boys. El missed out on so many experiences as a child but I’m glad she has a friend to encourage her to express herself through clothing and to remind her that she can have fun without hanging out with Mike. I’m glad the El stuck up for herself and gave Mike consequences for his actions when he lied to her. Eleven has always been my favorite because she has never given in or given up in any situation and she has been a total badass with her powers. She never comes across as thinking she’s better than anyone even though she has powers others could only dream of. Eleven lost her father, Hopper, at the end of the season, and then she had to move away from her friends, which sucks. I think Joyce will be a good mother for El and that Will will be a good friend. but I worry for her happiness. She was trapped in Hopper’s cabin for almost a year without being able to see Mike or the others and that was hard on her. For now, we’re not sure if she’s going to get her powers back, so she can’t even visit them in her mind space. I appreciate how Mike looked out for Eleven’s well being and worried whether she was pushing her limits by staying in her mind space for hours. But I was a bit confused when Mike and Eleven professed their love for each other. I can believe they love each other as a friend but middle schoolers don’t usually know what romantic love is. I know that Mike and Eleven have matured in some ways more than their fellow middle schoolers because of the trauma of the onslaught of creatures from the Upside Down. But I’m not sure if it’s the kind of maturing that lends itself to caring about another person in the complex way that love is.

Eleven might be my favorite but I was very proud of Steve Harrington this season. Steve, once the most popular boy at school, isn’t ashamed to be seen hanging out with middle schoolers. Steve sacrificed himself to the Russian soldiers to let Erica and Dustin go free. Steve did his best to move on when the girl he loved, Nancy, left him for someone else. In the 80s, which wasn’t known for sexual orientation tolerance, Steve is cool being friends with a girl who isn’t straight and a girl who turned down his advances. Steve, who has had no combat training, won in a fight against a Russian soldier. Steve Harrington should be more a ringleader next season.

Speaking of popular boys in high school, Billy. Billy was very easy to dislike with his terrible attitude and behavior, but it was a product of his upbringing, and I’m glad he got to have a redemption moment at the end when he fought back against the Mind-Flayer in the finale. No one else fought the Mind-Flayer with their bare hands. I understand it was the 80s and long-haired rock stars were a thing, but I still don’t see how everyone including the moms in the show thought he was so hot. The long hair just laid there limp! It looked half-washed. That might not seem important, but it’s important to me.

Another thing that’s not necessarily important. Did y’all catch those references to other popular movies? When Max and El went out on a bike in the rain at night, Max was wearing a yellow raincoat that reminded one of the movie It. I also thought when they were at the pool and trying to lure Billy into the sauna using a tape recorded message it sounded similar to Pennywise. How about the Terminator-style lone wolf that Larry Kline himself called Arnold Schwarzenegger jokingly? I nicknamed him “Swarnold” and I’m sticking by it.

But I’m very mad at Swarnold for killing Alexei. “Smirnoff”, as he was called by Hopper, was so adorable! He was clearly a good guy only doing what the Russian government told him to do because he had to survive. He wanted to become an American citizen, he liked cartoons, and he loved slushies. I just keep picturing in my head when he was sitting in the back of the Todfather convertible smiling and sipping an Icee. He was taken from us too soon. He could have been a real help against future evils.

This season we lost Hopper, Alexei, Billy, Heather the lifeguard, Tom from the Hawkins Post, Doris Driscoll, and several others from Hawkins. When will the people of Hawkins finally be safe? We’re still not sure if Eleven will get her powers back. This season proved that the team could somewhat stop the Mind Flayer without Eleven, but she had already done a lot of heavy lifting. I don’t think the Mind Flayer could be stopped without her powers so I’m very worried what will happen in the next season if she doesn’t have them. I was kind of hoping that Kali might appear in the finale to help Eleven out when she was struggling, but alas it did not happen. I don’t think they introduced for Kali for two episodes only, so she should come back next season I think. Did everyone catch the part-of-the-way-through-the-credits scene? The Duffer Brothers are trying to be the Russo Brothers! Who’s the American the Russians have locked up? Murray perhaps? And how did the Russians get a full grown Demogorgon? If only we knew when season four was coming to give us some relief, but we don’t. We’ll just have to wait and see!

𝒮𝓃𝑒𝒶𝓀𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝒜𝓇𝑜𝓊𝓃𝒹 I

(Bᴇɪɴɢ ᴛʜᴇ Mɪᴅᴅʟᴇ Wʜᴇᴇʟᴇʀ Sɪʙʟɪɴɢ + Dᴀᴛɪɴɢ Bɪʟʟʏ Hᴀʀɢʀᴏᴠᴇ — ʙᴇʜɪɴᴅ ʏᴏᴜʀ ғᴀᴍɪʟʏ’ｓʙᴀᴄᴋ)

HAHA this took approx TWO HOURS to write bc I’m a slut for Billy Hargrove there I said it ENJOY :)

PS: Billy Hargrove is a SHIT person and I’m not gonna ignore that, but sometimes there’s parts of people we don’t see. So I didn’t erase his shitty parts, I just added some better ones. :)

MASTERLIST

A/N: I do not claim to, nor do I own Stranger Things; the concept, characters, plot, etc

- The first time you noticed Billy Hargrove was his first day of school

- steve had so graciously brought you and Nancy to school that day

- You sat in the back while Nancy and Steve went over his essay and you heard a loudass engine rip through the parking lot (is it just me or so loud engines annoy anyone else ??)

- Y’all were getting out just as Hargrove pulled up (conveniently) and you and nance stood in awe like “zayummmm girl who is that?”

- Steve was annoyed already

- Now the first time Billy noticed you that would be the Halloween party

- He had heard that “king Steve” was showing up with his gf and her sister and he was immediately interested bc tbh Nancy was a solid 9/10 to him so how bad could her sister be?

- And he ofc had to act like the king asshat that night just to prove he was coming for Steve

- You arrived to the party and finally accepted defeat, you were a sexy cat and you had to own it and nance and Steve were arguing so she also just wanted to get lit

- Lit sisters haha

- But Billy had to make a scene when you guys arrived because he is the biggest drama queen EVER

- he looked you up and down and you rolled your eyes bc you weren’t gonna let him get you like that

- So you and nance went HAM on the alcohol and suddenly you found yourself alone bc Nancy was too extra when she was drunk and your other friends weren’t coherent anymore

- There you were in the corner, watching the party rage on and you just kept downing that alcohol and bill saw that as his golden opportunity

- “What’s a pretty kitty like you doing alone?” He grinned at you

- You could not hold back your cringe “you can do better than that California”

- He knew he was in deep when you came back with that bc unlike most girls at Hawkins you actually had a brain

- So you talked for a solid 10 minutes until you saw your sister run through the house with Steve chasing after her

- You handed Billy your drink and just left him hanging and tbh it was funny after the fact but he didn’t think so

- In school you’d always deal with that dude

- In between classes “Hey Wheeler-“

- “Oops sorry California gotta get to class”

- You weren’t sure if you were really interested in him or if your just liked to make him chase after you but either way it was fun

- One day he caught you while you were waiting for Steve and Nancy after school

- “Hey Wheeler cmon let me take you on a date. Just once?”

- “Ugh fine I guess I could go on one date with you but we can’t tell anyone”

- But that date never rlly came bc that weekend the whole gate incident went down

- Well first tune into Dustin throwing rocks at your window

- “Um Dustin mike isn’t here what do you want?”

- “I know mikes not here you’re the next best thing let’s go”

- “Dustin I have a date tonight let’s not do this rn”

- “Nope Wheeler it’s an emergency we have to go NOW”

- So you made a mental note to call Billy and cancel

- You joined Dustin and Steve (which was only a little awkward since you basically knew he wasn’t your brother in law anymore)

- And then a while later you were in an old bus being attack by adolescent Demogorgons

- Amidst the panic: “ya know Henderson when you said ‘an emergency’ you failed to include the fact that you were housing a BABY DEMOGORGON and he just so happened to molt into a fullblown beast”

- And then Steve had that genius idea to go OUTSIDE and you were right beside him bc he may not be your brother in law anymore but he sure was still your friend

- Miraculously you and Steve made it out with minor injuries (somehow your stumbled and cut your hand on a broken window?)

- So you guys decided to peace out of that place when the monsters were called away

- Now let’s tune into your house

- You had forgotten to call Billy so despite what his dad said about cancelling his date he still headed over but he wanted to tell you in person he had to cancel bc he had to look for max instead :)

- Instead of you answering the door your mom did and Billy finally realized where you got your looks from he was shook

- “I didn’t realize Nancy and y/n had another sister”

- Your mom melted right on that spot

- “I’m their mother” she was heating up

- “No!”

- You would’ve killed your mom if you were there bc she was literally trying to seduce your date and you probs would’ve killed Billy too bc he wasn’t denying her moves

- “You must be here for Nancy” she smiled

- “Nancy? No not my type. I’d say y/n is more my type” and that caught your mom off guard and then bill realized he kinda fucked up bc he remember your ‘no one can know’ rule

- But before he knew it he was inside your kitchen eating your mom’s sugar cookies and getting directions to the Byers house

- So at the Byers house you were reveling in the joy of your lil sis eleven being back and then everyone devised the plan and before you knew it you were sitting in the kitchen with Steve and the kids just waiting

- You had forgotten to cancel your date

- you went into mom /attack mode when you saw Steve get pushed to the ground and when Billy walked in and saw you AND max it was game over

- Billy was already pissed bc he had to find max but now that he found you in a house with Steve Harrington (he knew him and your sister were done-zo so he thought Steve would put the moves on you) AS IF

- And his missing sister ofc

- He didn’t even say a word to you bc he didn’t want to blow your cover so you just let him beat the pulp out of Steve

- Not your best idea

- After max left him KO-d on the floor you contemplated staying with him but you left

- The next time you saw him was a week later and you ripped him a new one

- “You had no right to barge into Joyce’s house like that and kick Steve’s ass! That was in no way fair to him!” He kinda just smiled at you while you yelled at him

- “Do you have anything to say?!”

- “You’re really hot when you’re angry?”

- Needless to say you two didn’t even rlly need to go on any dates you two just clicked

- Opposites attract I guess

- But you two had to be SO low key about your relationship literally nobody could know

- Ofc Tommy caught onto the fact that Billy never slept with literally anybody anymore

- And Nancy noticed how much happier and carefree you’d been

- And mike totally just didn’t mention the fact that he heard you sneak out literally every night

- Every night at 10:20 you’d climb out your window and walk to the end of the street where Billy was waiting for you

- Sometimes you’d go over to the next town and see a midnight showing of a movie

- Or you’d drive down a random dirt road and just sit and talk

- Or sit and “talk” ;)

- You’d go for ice cream or out to eat at a 24hour diner

- And he’d have you home by at least 2 or 3 so you had enough time to shower and sleep a little bit before school

- Overall you were rlly happy and nobody could figure out why

- You learned a lot about Billy

- Like his mom and his dad and their demise

- How Max and Susan came along

- Why Billy’s such a hardass all the time

- His fav bands, movies, foods, random lil facts

- And he learned about you and your fam

- As well as your fav food, bands, movies, etc

- You couldn’t believe that badass Billy was so chill and sweet

No Place Like Home / w.b.

“where y/n is the first to see will in the hospital after he goes missing”

Request?: A tumblr-less friend <3 Pairing: Will Byers x Reader (f) (platonic) Warnings: Light swearing but besides that, none! Words: 570

The air felt thin and cold in the hospital. That was the last place you wanted to spend your Saturday night. But when your mother called you from the bottom of the stairs saying that Will Byer’s was safe in the hospital you begged her to take you.

Mike, Dustin, and Lucas, along with some others- a few that you were confused by them being there... aka Steve Harrington- sat in the small waiting room they were told to stay in until Will woke up.

Mike stood as you walked into the room. Lucas and Dustin’s eyes met yours as you walked over to them. “Joyce and Jonathan are in there with him.” Dustin spoke up noticing the look of worry crossing your face. You nod.

“He’ll probably want to see you first,” Mike stated, bitterly. You pursed your lips before sighing at his statement.

Mike had always partially disliked you. Besides himself, you had known Will the longest out of everyone in the party. Which of course annoyed Mike slightly the older y’all got. Will didn’t play favorites though. He loved you both equally, which he had told Mike on numerous occasions.

“Hey kid,” Cheif Hopper cleared his throat. You looked back at the gruff man as he waved his hand telling you to come over to him, you obliged. “Why’re you so worried?” He questioned to which you shrugged.

“He’s a strong boy, Y/N. He’ll be okay. Will’s a bit of a badass, alright?” Hopper smiled small making you stifle a small giggle. “Alright, Hop.”

“Are you all here for Will Byers?” A nurse asked, entering the room. The party sprung up, dashing over to the petite woman who held out a hand to stop them. You looked back over your shoulder, shoving your hands in your pockets. “Y/N Y/L/N,” She called.

You nodded at the woman. “That’s me.” She nodded. “If you’ll come with me.” You mumbled a quiet ‘okay’ as Mike scoffed, Dustin resting a hand on his shoulder as Lucas sat back down.

You followed the nurse to the tiny room the held Will in. Joyce sat in a chair against the bed, holding Will’s hand which held a cassette tape which you guessed was from Jonathan who stood against the wall behind his mother.

“Byers.” You said barely above a whisper. Will looked up to where you were standing. He smiled before trying to sit up, wincing and laying back down. You walked over slowly. “Holy shit is that actually you?”

Will chuckled and nodded. “Yeah, it’s me.” You sat on the edge of the bed taking in his details. His lips were chapped, skin pale and cold. But nonetheless, he was your Will. You grinned before hugging the boy who loosely wrapped his arms around your shoulders.

“I missed you. I thought you died, Will.” You sniffed, nuzzling your face into the boy’s neck. Will leaned into your embrace, holding on tighter. “‘m not though. I’m alive. I’m back, Y/N.”

“Thank god.” You laughed as you pulled away, wiping your eyes. Will smiled, holding your hand. “Never leave me again, Byers. I don’t think I can handle school without you. Or Mike for that matter.”

Will giggled. “Is it really that different?” He asked, raising an eyebrow. “You have no idea.”

“But I don’t plan on going missing anytime soon, Y/N/N.” Will joked making you smile. “There’s no place like home.”

“Damn skippy.”

this was the first stranger things imagine i ever wrote (i actually added quite a bit to it for tumblr tho)

just thought i’d share it with y’all and give ol’ Willy Boy some love <3

steve as a boyfriend bc it’s been a week since I've finished the whole two seasons of ST for the first time I feel deprived after reading every.single.steve.post.in.existence

and i literally made another account just feed myself haha might as well feed everyone amiright

anywaY STEVE

a full course meal and full time daD WHAT A DAD Y’ALL BETTER BE STANNING DAD OF A MILLION KIDS STEVE HARRINGTON OKAY

but yeah steve as a boyfriend

I'm starting this from the origins ok cool glad we’re on the same page

so basically all this canoodling between you and steve starts in s2 because in s1 he was a teenager and worry free before he began to bald and stress over god knows how many kids he ended up with bc two were missing and he mainly handled four??? I'm still lost at this point

but yeAH

you wear stripes turtle necks with bomber jackets and you slay them tbh

you're a newb like billy

that story arc comes in later in the post jusT GIMME A SEC

but yeah

I'm making you dustINS SISTER BC DAMN imagine my tiny badass dustin knockING SOME SENSE INTO HARRINGTON LIEK ‘DUDE THATS MY SISTER’

i imagine you being present and dustin gets all in your and steve’s face but steve, being the dad but still teenager that he is, places his whole hand on his son’s face and pushes him to the side as if he wasn't even there

but yeaH YOU CAME FROM OUT OF TOWN BC THE MAGIC OF NETFLIX AMIRIGHt thEY EVEN MAKE THE DEAD ONES COME BACK ALIVE

IM LOOKING AT YOU WILLY WILL

anywAY YOURE LIKE THE FEMALE VERSION OF STEVE OK

y’all have a great sense of hair I'm jealous from imagining it

a couple that slays hair together, stays togethER.

you’ve come across steve a ton of times in the high school, some times were spent on him trying to get your attention bc you really didn't give a shit about anyone??? it was friendLY ATTENTION THO BC NANCYYYYYYYYYY.

and steve was a curious bean and you were a mysterious bean and y’all know the saying; curiosity killed the steve.

but satisfaction brought steve back.

heads up, bonus points for confusion bc steve calls you ‘henderson’ like, your first name?? steve doesnt know her mhm.

and since names are generic as shit steve didn't really click into the fact that you were dustiNS SISTER

boi sees you power walking behind dustin when he goes to the wheelers’ house w flowers

the scene goes like this

“HENDERSON?!”

“HARRINGTON?!”

bc im lazy imagine that going on for a good two minutes until steve questions if you and dustin are siblings

“son of a bitch, steVE, WE’RE BOTH HENDERSON, SEEING AS YOU JUST WASTED MY TIME BY SAYING IT ON FUCKING REPEAT LIKE WE DIDNT FUCKING KNOW”

i imagine that to come out of dustins mouth

dustin and steve were one of the best things to come out of strangER THINGS CAN S3 JUST COME OUT NOW PLS ITS BEEN A WEEK BUT IT FEELS LIKE 87 YEARS

you end up following dustin into steves car bc never in a million years would you trust steve harrington w your baby brother.

you take that back when you realise he's actually a damn good babysitter

speaking of babysitters

you didn't think you'd become the mom to steves parental pairing

you didn't think you'd be a mom at all, not until literally you'd be birthing one out

looks like theres a loophole for everything bc you and steve end up doing a lot of domestic shit together when you acc date and imma leave that for towards the end

so yeah you end up getting intertwined with the demo dogs showdown; steve w his bat and you with dustins hockey stick

lucas calls y’all the power couple

you become max’s role model

“that was so badass”

when y’all are back at the byers’, you and steve end up tag teaming to handle the bull that is billy hargrove (loVE DACRE OK)

steve ends up getting beat up as shit and billy uses that spare time to manipulate you. mANIPULATION IS NOT OKAY!!

he has your cheeks squishing between his hand and you up against the wall until dustin tries to intervene bc sisTER.

steve gets up again and pushes dustiN OUTTA THE WAY BC NO ONE HOLDS YOU AGAINST THE WALL THAT IS NOT COOL!!

steve ends up beat up again and max gotta out the syringe bC billy be loco.

you comply with max being the driver to the demogorgon hole thingy bc you stay at the back with steves head lying on your stomach as you press compromised ice packs of peas and whatnot on his face

dustin swore he saw tears in your eyes

you whisper gratefulness bc time spent with steve was fuckign crazy but he actually got himself beat up for you

and no onES DONE THAT BEFORE

steve is special, no one deserves hiM.

ma boi better be loved and appreciated in s3 or I'm throwing hands

when steve is alive again, just in time for the demo dog field trip!!, he ends up being your trip buddy i cackle its adoraBLE

keeps an arm across your front as a proteCTIVE GESTURE I AWE

when all the shit w the demo dogs is over, you show your overprotective side and ask if it hurts too much in some places on his face

“nothing a kiss wouldn't fix”

“shut uP hARRINGTON!”

“dudE THATS MY SISTER”

“may i kiss you miss henderson just for the pleasure of us both and the disgust of your little brother?”

“you may, harrington”

lmao that kiss ends up in an exaggerated make out session just to make it burn

it fails bc bruises on steves face

it hurts a lot

it was a bad idea

you simply press your lips to every part that hurt, making sure to be gentle

bc y’all are a thing, you two become chaperones for the snowbaLL!!

*COUGH* nancy missed ouT *cough*

you start to like her tho bc she danced w dustin and he smiled so iTS COOL.

yknow how time after time and every breath you take came on in the bg for the sweet kids and they slow danced and shit??

haha september by earth, wind & fire comes on.

sure, its a bit slow dancey but you and steve do that move where peace signs move past your eyes I FORGOT WHAT ITS CALLED

y’all do a lil shimmy too i cackEL

the kids look on in horror bc y’all are basically the equivalent of grandparents grinding in the 21st century yikES

SPEAKING OF GRANDPARENTS

When the kids get to high school, you and steve carpool the kids every morning when its chilly and freezing and shit

you and steve have timetables for when the kids will have AV and shit

so you guys still wait for them outside the school

probably read some magazines on how to be a parent of 6 when eleven joins the harrington family.

parenting fails; all six kids somehow being able to be squeezed in the back of steves car

steve’s thoughts: a+ parentinG

you and steve give joyce and hopper a run for their money

speaking of my second ship, the four of you have saturday coffee mornings together at the byers’ to talk about your kids

jonathon would just think ‘wtf’????

steve would let you borrow his faberge all the time

sometimes he'd even do your hair for you

and he turns out to be pretty damn good at that too.

when you’d have a night w/o the kids, he’d take you to the movies and would pull that slick, nonchalant arm-over-shoulder move

you just snuggle more into his side

the kids are acc a few rows behind you

steve knows and so do you

y’all don't mind bc dustin eventually moves forward to take the bucket of popcorn off your hands

thats all i got for now and i hope you're as fed as me!!

Here y’all go! I’ll have to listen again when it comes out on Spotify so I can listen continuously, and get a whole feel of the album. No one’s gonna read this I bet but this is the first TS album I’ve been here for and I think her vocals are so good and such good belting and low notes I’m all for it and as for lyrics I’ll need time to let them sink in <3

School Hard

Directed by: John T. Kretchmer

Written by: David Greenwalt

Starring: Sarah Michelle Gellar, Alyson Hannigan, Nicholas Brendon, Anthony Head, Charisma Carpenter, David Boreanaz, Robia La Morte, Kristine Sutherland, Armin Shimerman, Juliet Landau, and James Marsters

Welcome to episode three, in which we meet the most beloved of all Big Bads, and Buffy has to do something I personally think is incredibly brave: plan a school function.

Fun fact: Tasche means bag and pocket in German. I don’t actually know if that’s fun. I’ve been going pretty hard on my German on Duolingo.

Outfit 1

I was bemused by Buffy’s tendency to go braless at school. I had a uniform, so I didn’t really understand being able to wear whatever I wanted to school. This is cute. Note the choice of crucifix-less necklace.

I was a fan of these pigtails. I wore my hair like this to work recently and wondered if a 34 year old can wear pigtails and maintain an air of authority. Then I wondered if I can ever maintain an air of authority given my emotional immaturity.

Look, I don’t want you to be surprised when you see the rest of this outfit. There’s beige. Beige.

I was never a fan of beige pants. If anyone could get me to wear them it would be Buffy. But I don’t think she ever truly convinced me. I had a teacher who once wore head-to-toe beige. It earned them the nickname McBeige.

So wait, let me back up. Principal Snyder has identified the two bad seeds and figures the best way to teach them what’s what is to force them to coordinate the Parent-Teacher Night. If they fuck it up, they get expelled. If they do it properly, Snyder will continue to think of them as punks. Win-Win? Buffy and Sheila are those two punks and I have to say that I think Sheila is ahead in this battle royale.

I definitely wore my hair like ole Sheila here. When I could be bothered twisting my hair into sections and securing it with a butterfly clip, much like this:

Source: Us Magazine

Wilow is super adorable. I don’t think I appreciated these overalls. I haven’t been much of an overalls person. Maybe I just haven’t met the right pair yet.

Xander is modelling the ‘Big Fat Party Animal’ collection. Buffy seems sad. Perhaps she knows Willow is owning her beige-clad butt.

Outfit 2

Buffy’s creme rinse didn’t work. But I don’t believe that because her hair right now is the creme de la creme.

I respect Buffy’s pyjama game so much more than I did then. I discovered Pyjama designer Peter Alexander and could afford to buy his sleepwear I haven’t really looked back. I think I’ve discussed this at length in another post.

I love Joyce’s robe.

Outfit 3

These overalls look comfy as hell. Again, I think Buffy would have been the one to persuade me overalls were cute. But I think this was an item of clothing I thought was cooler on literally everyone else but me. I have always thought the shirt was genius for painting signs in.

These look very soft. They look like they might be tencel. I had baggy tencel jeans. They were incredibly comfortable. They probably looked like crap.

Willow’s sporting another reference to Scooby Doo. Xander’s sporting another reference ‘being generally terrible.’

Outfit 4

The 90s were about matching jackets to your shirt. No one really does this anymore. Also here I feel like these colours aren’t close enough. I like the coat.

Maybe not the halter neck. But I was all about sleeveless knits in pastel colours.

I think my dad had Xander’s sweater.

Outfit 5

Before we check in on Buffy’s Parent-Teacher ensemble, let’s say hello to William the Bloody.

That’s Spike to you.

Nothing like a leather duster. Just ask Dave from Happy Endings.

Things I didn’t notice watching this in 1997 that are obvious now:

1) SMG’s stunt double does a lot of work. And is possibly taller than SMG.

2) James Marsters’ English accent isn’t that good.

In year 9 I definitely would have envisaged this for my year 10 Formal. I was very much into Jane Austen. Fun fact: Juliet Landau is the daughter of Martin Landau. And if you don’t know who that is, watch Crimes and Misdemeanors immediately. She is also not English.

Relationship goals.

So anyway there’s some sort of Vampire festival happening but Buffy has that Parent-Teacher thing and she needs to make a good impression.

Well, this would not have impressed my mum. Y’all know how she felt about blue and green together.

Though actually this may be purple, to match her skirt.

If the only way to make this skirt work was the cardigan, then... It’s not worth it. I always think this skirt is longer.

I’m always surprised and then disappointed to learn it’s short. I need to see the shoes.

Willow’s look here is killer.

But these tights are killing me.

Cordelia wins Parent-Teacher Night. Also, what an odd choice of snack to steal.

Spike and friends crash the Parent-Teacher thing and Buffy saves the day, convincing Joyce that even though Buffy’s grades are a bit shit she’s pretty good in a crisis. And she loses the cardigan, which honestly doesn’t really improve the outfit but at least she looks badass facing off against Spike.

And through the whole thing I do not get a decent view of her shoes.

FINALLY.

I don’t like them.

Next up, the gang encounters mummies, eskimos and baby-eating dingoes.

Until then, Slayerettes.
