more thoughts regarding Henry Creel’s time at Hawkins Lab because I’m so (not) normal about that guy.
okay, so do you guys remember when Doctor Brenner rewarded Two with a candy when he did good during the lesson?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
now don’t mind me imagining him giving young Henry a candy, when Henry was the only kid there, as a reward to try to urge him into complying / into trying to do good. I’m not saying candy absolutely worked for Henry, but after all he was still a kid. and I don’t think Virginia was the kind of parents who allowed her kids to have candy. so idk dude, imagine young Henry not wanting to give in and accept Brenner’s so called gift before he gave in and did what Brenner wanted in the end, because I bet, at the beginning, Brenner gave or tried to give Henry candy without Henry having to do anything for it, and once Henry — a kid, mind you — got a taste of candy and asked for more, Brenner said he had to do something to earn it first.
just imagine Henry wanting candy. imagine Henry agreeing to be good for Brenner because he just wanted the candy. imagine candy being the only “normal” thing Henry had during his childhood. imagine Henry, now as an adult, still having a secret longing / nostalgia for something as simple, as childlike as candy.
@twihs-blog I think I made myself cry…

Sound of Freedom: Across the QAnon-Verse
Is the Sound of Freedom good? Can it help end child sex trafficking? Well, like that issue, it's complicated.
So, here it is: my post on Sound of Freedom, the movie that is storming the charts and doing decent enough business to get a lot of press, both positive and negative. If you don’t live in the U.S. and haven’t heard of this movie, that’s not surprising. It’s only playing Stateside (for now). If you’ve never heard of Sound of Freedom, just know it’s an action film about a paramilitary group taking…

Hey everyone! My name is Delilah! I’m so glad you’re here and have decided to check out my blog!
Here’s a little bit about me for you all to know!
I’m twenty-years-old.
My pronouns are she/her.
My fic reblog/recommendation page is @delilah-recommends !
I’m not new to Tumblr or the Stranger Things and Criminal Minds fandoms, this is just a new account because I haven’t been on here since I was sixteen which was a very embarrassing time XD.
I’ve been a huge Criminal Minds fan for years, and started watching the show when I was eleven (shocking, I know right. No wonder why I’m so traumatised lol). I’ve also been a massive fan of Stranger Things since the show premiered! And I have been resurrected to Tumblr because of Mr Eddie Munson (in my defence, Joe Quinn is beautiful).
My blog is not 18+. However, if I write anything smutty or anything that is remotely NSFW then I ask minors not to interact with those posts and block the tag ( #delilah.nsfw ).
You can call me by any nicknames (preferably no masculine ones, ‘sir’ etc), and you are always welcome to drop me a dm if you want to talk about anything too! I’m a really friendly person, I promise!
I am a major Swiftie, so there will be a lot of Taylor Swift references in my works XD.
I’m a part of some other fandoms, so don’t hesitate to drop an ask if you want to know them, or even if you want to get to know me! I love making new friends!
I will not tolerate any hate, bullying, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia etc! Treat People With Kindness!
I am British, so any scheduled posts will be in GMT (the british time zone!). And I also apologise for any inaccuracies in fics set in other countries, don’t hesitate to drop me an inbox to fix anything!
Tumblr media
Here is the Masterlist of all of my works and any of my non-fic posts which are my favourite!
Everything will be organised in chronological order, from oldest to newest!
Requests are currently open!
I can’t ensure that they will be completed quickly, due to me being in full-time education as well as having my own personal mental health struggles (which I’m on medication for!). But, I will try my best to get them written as quickly as possible!
Who I currently write for:
- Eddie Munson ( + Joseph Quinn )
- 001/Peter Ballard ( + Jamie Campbell Bower )
- Steve Harrington ( + Joe Keery )
- Spencer Reid ( + Matthew Gray Gubler )
- Benedict Bridgerton
- Anthony Bridgerton
- Robin Buckley ( + Maya Hawke )

what are your top 5 lore teams
the habs -> 24 cups, basically every Legendary Goalie ever (except hasek and brodeur lmao) is tied to them in some way (inCLUDING tretiak who was drafted by them but never played because of [unrelated cska drama]), the Richard brothers, Lafleur, Cournoyer, made the Cup finals 10 years straight, deeply symbolic of the general political identity of Quebec and Francophone Canada esp in regard to its relationship with English Canada (evidenced by the habs-leafs rivalry), etc
the red wings -> the first great one in Gordie, the gordie/ted relationship and the creation of the nhlpa, the dead wings and delvecchio, getting the guy you didn't really want at fourth overall but he turned out to be -- well -- Steve Yzerman (whose entire legacy basically shaped the idea of the chivalrous bold-hearted leader), sergei fedorov and the russian five, nick lidstrom and pavel datsyuk
the leafs -> conn smythe, the first team in all of professional sports to retire numbers, bill barilko disappeared that summer... he was on a fishing trip... borje salming and the beginning of europeans in the nhl, darryl sittler, harold ballard the worst man on the entire goddamn planet, mats sundin and the gretzky high-stick, the decade of darkness, mitch marner and auston matthews, william nylander, "not everyday you can live out a childhood dream," sixty years without a cup
the oilers -> the pesky edmonton oilers. messier, kurri, coffey. the legacy of the wha and the merger and the teenager they called The Great One a decade before he put on the blue and orange. decades of darkness. three first overall picks in a row. draisaitl; mcdavid. the best power-play the nhl has ever seen. nothing to show for it in a long time.
you could argue for more than a few teams here. bruins, rangers, and blackhawks all original six teams. penguins have also had two great ones. islanders had a dynasty. i say canucks though -> tiger williams and stan smyl. larionov and bure. the twins. luongo. two cup finals, lost at the last second. two riots. hughes and petterson.

Heyo! 24 year old female writer here. I’m eighteen plus so please please please ensure you are before writing to me! Now a little about me, I do work, quick fire would be nice but I can’t always be here. So you may see me post more depending on what ideas I’ve got and what cravings I have. But with my time off you can guarantee I’ll be posting more! Just a heads up I’m looking for clean roleplays! I do prefer discord to conduct roleplays purely for the purpose of being able to keep things more organised! My discord is eleanorewinchester
So I’m looking for those of you who can use third person, past tense and lots of detail. I say this not to be mean but because I do consider myself to be advanced literate, I expect potential partners to be the same! I’m looking for oc (me) x male canon characters from the above movies but I will enclose further fandoms and movies with in the post! I use third and past tense and would be grateful if you do too! Please note I do have dyslexia. I’d love to get some aus going as well as some love triangles. Doubles are welcome! But please note ALL my roleplays are doubles. I will be prioritising those of you who don’t want to double and are happy to play canons. I’m just getting to a point where doubles feel transactional, I’d like to do something for myself where I can :).
I’m also craving the MCU, Shadowhunters, A Court of Thorns and roses, Supernatural, My Life With the Walter Boys, Hunger Games (originals and prequel), GG at the moment as well! I’d honestly kill for someone to play Dean Winchester atm. I think he’s a really well written character and I have some ocs who may work with him.
I’d love our roleplay to be something of comfort to us both. Something to cheer us up and keep us engaged in the story! If you’ve got any wild ideas you’ve been dying to do for the below fandoms send them my way if it’s doubles I’ll do my best to accommodate them! If there’s a character in brackets that’s who I’m looking to ship with, I need you to play them!
Fandoms I seek include:
Saltburn (Felix)
Downton Abbey (Tom,Matthew)
The Musketeers (bbc show, Aramis, Athos)
Schitt’s Creek (Ted)
ACOTAR (Cassian, Rhys)
Bridgerton and Queen Charlotte
Merlin (bbc show)
GG
The Mortal instruments: Shadowhunters (Jace)
Sherlock (Sherlock)
Skins
Pitch Perfect
Supernatural 😍 (Dean)
The Office (us)
Brooklyn Nine Nine 😍
Superstore
My life With the Walter Boys 😍❤️ (Cole, Will)

OC voice claims final!
Voice claims are taking an example of some character's voice as a reference for how your oc's would sound like! I've made a few for our main cast. This is the final set, and it's our Nicholas and clown Quirce!
Nicholas - VA Mark Fischbach 🔹 voice of youtuber Markiplier from one of his playthroughs
Because he is a coward, Nicholas is very prone to screaming. His voice sounds booming, loud and melodious. His voice is deep and friendly, and he likes talking to himself because too much silence creeps him out, and keeping his mind off things help him keep his composure. He typically has a relaxed, well-meaning “charlatan” vibe.
┆ ┆ ┆ ┆ ┆ ┆ ┆ ┆┆ ┆ ┆ ┆ ┆ ┆ ┆ ┆┆ ┆ ┆ ┆┆ ┆ ┆ ┆ ┆
Quirce - VA Matthew Ballard 🔹 voice actor of professor Andrew Bell III in Red Dead Redemption 2
Quirce has a slightly shaky, cheerful and excited voice. A voice that would fit an aloof inventor who is socially awkward. Their voice is musical, and it sounds very friendly. This sweet little clown loves finding wonder in small things, and loves expressing their excitement when they’ve found something new. They love giving compliments, and are surprisingly polite. Quirce often says “mmm?” or “hmmm?” while tilting their head, typically when asking for a favour.

The Burial of Christ, by Carl Heinrich Bloch
----------
It’s hard to imagine the anguish Jesus Christ’s followers must have felt on the day after His death. The night before, His body had been lovingly prepared and placed in a garden tomb. Now they were left to figure out how life could possibly go on without Him. Almost certainly His death had taken something from them, but what they had lost was nothing compared to all that His life had given. Whether they understood it or not, Jesus Christ had forged a new path forward for all who would follow Him, one lit by a hope that shines brighter than any darkness we may encounter.
M. Russell Ballard invited us to study the remarkable vision of Joseph F. Smith about the Savior’s ministry in the spirit world that took place after the Savior’s Crucifixion:
I invite you to thoroughly and thoughtfully read this revelation. As you do so, may the Lord bless you to more fully understand and appreciate God’s love and His plan of salvation and happiness for His children. I testify that the vision President Joseph F. Smith received is true. I bear witness that every person can read it and come to know it is true. (“The Vision of the Redemption of the Dead,” Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2018, 173; see Doctrine and Covenants 138)
Matthew 27:55–61
John 14:15–16, 26–27

piping hot and fresh lizzie postwar paris notes under the cut
lizzie in this verse is basically fueled by the following from sylvia plath: "what horrifies me most is the idea of being useless: well-educated, brilliantly promising, and fading out into an indifferent middle age."
so.
if lizzie has to declare a home, it's probably washington. she was born there but raised all over europe until she begged for boarding school at fourteen so she maybe had a chance at normalcy. her father, robert, is a career diplomat and her mother, jessica, is the best damn career diplomat's wife and hostess you've ever met. she has one younger brother, matthew, who is ten years younger and holding down the family fort at georgetown.
she takes a lot of pride in her education. she's a graduate of miss porter's and smith and while she wanted to continue studying after smith, the mere prospect caused jessica ballard to need to lay down for a few days and she shelved the idea. she has a degree in french history with a specialization in the high middle ages and speaks very good french but isn't above pretending she doesn't know a word to be a shit.
her parents were back in washington by the time she was finished with school in 1938 (europe was heating up after all) and lizzie quickly joined her mother on the society circuit. were things still a bit grim? of course but jessica never let anything keep her from a party.
lizzie was starting to choke under it all when she met michael hayes at a garden party. he was interesting, with his own political ambitions and smart enough to keep up with her. he took her to the smithsonian for their first date and considering lizzie was approaching the decrepit age of twenty five with no ring on her finger, it was just about good enough. by the time he proposed in august of 1941, she knew they'd probably be passionately in love with each other but they were fond of each other, got along well, and wanted the same things so the rest would fall into place.
aaaaaaaaaaaaand then the war started for america so michael joined the navy and trained as a pilot while lizzie put their life and plans on ice. she did what every other woman of her ilk did during the war - she hosted fundraising drives with her mother and the rest of the junior league and volunteered with the red cross. she learned how to knit well and fast and could turn out a pair of socks quicker than anyone else in her knitting circle. lizzie always feels better when she's the best at something, even if it's just socks.
michael was killed in action during the invasion of sicily and a little piece of her, just the tiniest piece that she doesn't like to think about, wasn't sad for herself. for his family, for their friends, for her mother and her plans but for herself…a little bit of it felt like freedom. she hates herself for it. in the deepest privacy of her diary, she can write about it because there's no way she can ever actually talk about this with anyone.
the grief and the guilt over how quickly it faded gave her an excuse to turn inwards. she stopped knitting and volunteering and wound up reading every book in her father’s library in an effort to avoid anything to do with the war. she single handedly dragged her brother through his freshman year because god only knew he was fucking it up at rapid speed.
at the end of 1944, her father was appointed ambassador to france and lizzie is fairly sure her mother's joy at the appointment is still fueling her to this day and probably will for the rest of her life. robert moved to france to present himself while jessica and lizzie stayed back until the war ended it and it was deemed safe enough for them to go. her mother left in may and lizzie took grand advantage of a summer to herself before sailing in august.
she's due to start at the sorbonne in february, much to her mother's unending displeasure. somewhere over the course of her time alone, lizzie came to the conclusion that she was done living for anyone else. she'll help her mother - that's fine and she does like a good party - but with access to her trust fund, there's really very little that her parents can actually do.
lizzie’s very much at a crossroads in life. she can’t be the person she always thought she was going to be and it's time to be selfish!!! she can't wait!!!
