They called her the Briar Maiden for obvious reasons: the enormous swathe of briar rose bushes that surrounded her real body. Growing from the moment she entered her eternal slumber, it protected that physical anchor even as it warped and metamorphosed into a decidedly non-human form from years of degeneration and regeneration. An "abnormal" end for any Reyvateil, even for a "false" γ-Sublimate like her; usually she'd either be a puddle of biofluid or a corpse in a glass coffin, the latter of which was her colleague Sakia's end alongside her beloved Aoto.

She hoped they were having fun singing Songs together in heaven.

Agh, tangents. The other thing that started cropping up the longer she slept were the visions. Tales of other realities, not necessarily her but others who tread a certain thread of [possibilities]. A fairy tale, told countless times over, of a Twisted Wonderland. She was especially interested in the version that starred herself in that mysterious college. But right now, she had another goal...

Ah, there they were. Milgram and Yuuki. It would be rude to keep guests waiting, especially after going all the way to prepare the table beforehand. She let her consciousness drift for a split second, and no longer was she in her true body but a new doll-like one, closer to what she looked like in her youth. The dress she wore was a staple one, used among the many forms she used to communicate with visitors and covered with beautiful roses.

She sat herself down at the end of the table, but her guests did not. They instead took in their surroundings, and... hm. Yuuki was the first to bring up the discrepancies.

"Should we paint the white roses red?"

How astute. Well, there goes that doubt! She chuckled, "Don't worry. I just wanted to make sure I got the right people."

A wave of a finger, and she painted the roses herself. It was no proper Heartslaybul tea party, but it was enough for her. Satisfied, the two boys took their seats.

Milgram, the Genom-Sharl dragon, voiced his concerns. "Why did you call us here, miss Briar Maiden-"

"Oh please, just call me Meryu! We're all friends of Night Raven College here, are we not?"

"I-I suppose so."

Yuuki, sharp-eyed and eared as ever, caught on once again. "And you include yourself because...?"

"It's related to what I wished to speak to you boys about."

She took a sip of her tea before continuing.

"You are well aware of how the Briar Maiden's dreams can see into the vastness of time?"

Milgram nodded. "The past, the future, even alternate timelines... it's like a sporadic version of the holy Oversight."

Yuuki's eyes widened. "Oh! That must include Twisted Wonderland too. So you must've been in our places or something in one of those worlds."

"Exactly! And so far it's been a juicy tale! But now I am curious, because of the stories I've dreamed about, yours was especially fragmented. So... erm... I wanted to know more..."

She kicked her legs in embarrassment as the two boys laughed at their own worries.

Yuuki sipped his own tea. "Haah, and here I thought we were in trouble!"

Milgram shook his head, but partook of the tea as well. "I'm sure we'll still be embarrassed nonetheless, don't get your hopes up harton fayra..."

Satisfied, she produced a picture of two individuals: a tall professor with a prosthetic arm, and his shorter assistant with pink animal traits. Her excited grin couldn't be any wider!

"So, my first burning question: who was Professor Betel and his assistant Draco?"

...she was not expecting a synchronized groan of pain...?

Hopper is trying to enjoy his anniversary dinner with his wife at Enzo’s, in spite the fact that Diane is pissed at him and he doesn’t want to be there, when he suddenly hears, “Mr Hopper.”

Hopper does not roll his eyes when he looks away from his wife’s empty chair to six year old Steve Harrington next to him, “Yes?”

The kid is in a suit. Should Hopper have worn a suit?

“I’m okay, Mr Hopper.”

Well, that got Hopper’s attention. His eyes flicker from the kid to the table with his clearly whisper-arguing parents. Steve certainly looked okay so, “Good?”

“I’m gonna ask Mama if I can get ice cream,” Steve tells him. “If she says no, I’m going to cry real loud ‘til she gives up. I’m not really sad, Mr. Hopper. I’m just really good at crying. Please don’t arrest my dad. He didn’t hurt me.”

Hopper gives him a bewildered look so Steve compromises, “Okay, you can arrest my dad but after I get ice cream.”

Hopper barely manages not to smile at this ridiculous kid when he says, “Are you telling me about a premeditated tantrum?”

Steve thinks about it, “Yes.”

Honestly this gets at my chiefest complaint/frustration/discomfort with fandom as a whole. Which is: in their rush to defend the artistic merit of fanworks I think a ton of people have really valorized transformation and remixing and reinterpretation in and of themselves, when imo those are all quite neutral actions. When done well, they can expand and build upon and subvert meaning in really powerful and thought-provoking (and fun!) ways. When done poorly, they are just as likely to flatten and oversimplify and decontextualize and completely erase meaning. The simple act of changing something does not imbue the choice to do so with creative validity. It is entirely possible for a cover song to be bad (or just boring!). To exactly the same degree that it is possible to transform a pretty shallow and straightforward work into something deeper and more nuanced and subversive, is possible to transform a work into a vastly shallower and less interesting shadow of itself. As with nearly everything in art, it's all about the execution!

But the second you voice this position (which should honestly be a pretty uncontroversial one imo), you get people shrieking at you about being gatekeep-y and pretentious and betraying the sacred fandom etiquette of Don't-Like-Don't-Read.

And like...listen. I was not raised in a barn. I am 150% capable of quietly back-buttoning out of a fanfic I think is bad or boring - which is exactly what I do when I encounter them - and I am obviously not advocating for stupid ships wars or any kind of harassment or leaving hatemail in people's AO3 inboxes. (Which some people will also accuse you of the second you say anything less than lavishly positive about fandom, in true piss-on-the-poor fashion.) Literally all I am saying is that you can't have your cake and eat it too - that if fandom and fanworks (in the broadest sense) have artistic merit then fandom and fanworks (in the broadest sense) are fair game for artistic critique. Which means, in practice, that I can go on my own blog and make a post exactly like this one - critiquing broad trends, or stating that some interpretations are bad actually, or pointing out that subverting or talking back to or reading against the grain of canon is very different from simply ignoring it, or saying "fandom's culture of collage/remix/fuck-canon-I-do-what-I-want can lend itself to to really creative and interesting art but also to a lot of really bland homogenized cut-n-paste art, not to mention some pretty troubling decontextualization." And that if you feel this rains on your personal parade, you are then free to DLDR by back-buttoning out of my blog and/or blocking me so you never have to see my hot takes again, rather than clamoring in my notes about how I should let people enjoy things.
