STRANGER THINGS FANFICTION

━━ : ̗̀➛ ━━ : ̗̀➛ ━━ : ̗̀➛ ━━ : ̗̀➛

: ̗̀➛ S U M M A R Y !

JOSIE AINSWORTH WAS AFRAID.

Strange things have been occurring recently in the small midwestern town of Hawkins, Indiana. It all started with the disappearance of Will Byers, a young boy who went missing while biking home from a friend's house late at night. But that wasn't the only reason Josie was afraid, her home life scared her too, she needed to get her sister out of that hellhole before it was too late.

Josie felt guilty. She hadn't wanted to go home that night, so she was biking around town after being at her friend Barbara’s house when she saw Will on his way home. She didn't say anything, if she had said something, he would still be here now. Everything was piling up on her already burdened shoulders, she felt like she was going to crack, like a porcelain doll.

Josie and Nancy Wheeler had been friends at the beginning of high school, but they had drifted apart since Nancy started dating that douchebag Steve Harrington. They now only talked through their mutual friend Barbara Holland. So, when Josie walked out of a party that would end in disaster, she felt the guilt suffocating her. None of this was supposed to happen, she was just angry at fucking Carol.

The Ainsworth family was well known in the community as being a story of unexpected downfall. Before the car accident, Josie’s parents Nathan and Eleanor were well-respected, they hosted parties and were church-goers. The family got into a terrible car accident, and the hospital bills cost them basically all they had to their name, it essentially bankrupted the family. Eleanor left, just walked out on her two young daughters and Nathan began to drink heavily. He was fired from his job because he kept showing up to work drunk. They lost their home because they couldn't pay for it since Nathan wasn't working. They had to move to the trailer park. Now, people refuse to speak to the Ainsworths, most of them are scared of Nathan, who has grown violent over the years.

Her friends are the only bit of comfort she has left in her life. Though, after what happened to Will, talking to Jonathan has gotten harder and harder.

At school, she sinks her brain into her work, keeping her mind off everything else going on. She doesn't let anyone see what she is dealing with and no one seems to notice either. She is invisible to the world around her.

With Nancy and Steve's relationship growing distant, and Nancy and Jonathan growing closer, a friendship blossoms between Nancy and Josie. And when Nancy and Jonathan start dating, Josie is happy for them.

But that wasn't true, was it?

[spicybylerpolls]

sorry if this doesn’t really fit on your blog, but while we’re on the topic, i’m curious. who do you personally think is the most attractive cast member? (not just in a “I recognize they’re attractive” way, but in a, “I’m personally attracted to them” way). Cause as a bisexual, I feel like the whole cast is distractingly beautiful!

1) Sadie

2) Finn

3) Noah

4) Caleb

5) Gaten

6) Millie

7) Winona

8) David

9) Maya

10) Natalia

11) Charlie

12) Joe

(I just realized there are 12 people here which doesn’t leave room for anyone else or see results. so if none of them are personally attractive to you, just choose the one you neutrally/aesthetically see as “most attractive,” however you define that)

Please note that the purpose of this blog is not to be creepy or to make anyone uncomfortable. That's why I created the #spicy byler tag (I will tag all polls with this). If you don't want to see this blog or anything related to it on your feed, please block that tag. Not everyone is comfortable with this sorta stuff, and that's okay.

--

Back story:

His mentor had made Charlie's dress (Her favorite one). His mentor died and Charlie wanted another dress so she dragged him into the constant to make her another one. He did but saw what she was doing to the survivors so he destroyed it. She got angry at the act and had mutilated his face so no one could even look at him. She sown a mask into his skin where nightmare fuel seeped in and keeps it there. He had tried to take it off but died from blood loss. Nightmare fuel leaks from the mask slowly. His body slowly fell apart and so he made new parts from stone so he could move.

He sticks with Maxwell because Maxwell was a familiar face and could relate to being ostracized by the group. He doesn't know why Maxwell is being hated and he never told him due to the fact that it would make the boy shy away from him to.

He is scared of Winona due to her looking like Charlie but is warming up to her since she helps him make new parts when he breaks his old ones.

Sketches: Body horror (Kinda) TW

I believe I have more notes on him but I have to find them...

[titsthedamnseason]

okay i have so so so so many thoughts.

i was ALSO very surprised that ben was there. actually even more so about ben than beckett, charlie, or xander which i think is very telling and definitely would not have been true a few books ago.

i was also (i guess pleasantly?) surprised by easton’s presence and im really interested about this whole situation of him living and lily and lo’s house and i wish we could see more of that.

the beer thing is also kind of surprising? only because the last patreon bonus we got (KINNEYS POV!!!) of the girl squad drinking the parents did NOT receive well (i mean that was secretly so it’s different but this was still an interesting switch up). particularly interested that xander is drinking with his own history and his parents’ but i think it makes sense that he feels comfortable around family. i can’t believe they’re ALL sleeping at the penthouse?! lmao (i bet charlie will leave though)

but also. ALSO!!! i am so sad for ben ☹️ what is happening to my boy ☹️ and what’s happening with him and winona. they were such an iconic duo in their youth and now abruptly had this weird falling out that everybody ~knows~ about but is also extremely vague about and maybe doesn’t even know what happened? reason 1827272829 i need ben’s book STAT

whew i just finished rereading my ulu reading thread so you know what that means….last time ever doing this for the like us series (🥳)……nobody like us reading thread starts now!!!

[warlepidoptera]

The other day I went in the DST files to go see all the lore “tips” that now show up during loading time (because the game usually loads so damn fast so I don’t get the chance to read it xD)  so I leave them here if it can interest someone:

TIP_TIME = "Time moves differently in the Constant. Instead of a monotonous forward march, seconds and eternities seem to throw caution to the wind and do-si-do backwards and forwards as they please.",

TIP_WILSON_UNI = "Wilson chose the path of an independent Gentleman Scientist after finding the university environment to be too stifling for a man of his ambitions. (The enormous bill the university sent him to pay for repairs to the chemistry lab had absolutely nothing to do with this.)",

TIP_WINONA_CHARLIE = "Growing up, Winona always looked out for her younger sister. Even now, she can't help but feel that one day she'll be able to reach out into the darkness and pull Charlie back.",

TIP_MAXWELL_SURVIVORS = "Once the King of the Nightmare Throne, Maxwell now finds himself surviving alongside the very people he once tormented. Needless to say, it makes for a bit of an... awkward atmosphere.",

TIP_MAXWELL_PAST = "Maxwell (né William Carter) was once nothing more than a humble stage magician, until the discovery of a mysterious tome changed the course of his life forever.",

TIP_DARKNESS_CHARLIE = "In the Constant, the darkness has a name. Have you met Charlie yet?",

TIP_WARNING = "\"Nothing here is what it seems. If you're reading this, keep an eye on the rabbits, don't trust the statues, and don't mistake that thing hanging in the night sky for the moon...\" -W",

TIP_WOODIE = "Even with all the steps Woodie has taken to control his were-curse, there's little that can be done on nights when the moon is at its fullest.",

TIP_WILLOW = "Nothing brings Willow more comfort than snuggling her faithful teddy bear Bernie, and committing a playful bit of arson.",

TIP_WICKERBOTTOM = "Wickerbottom is of the firm belief that the pen is mightier than the sword. Words hold great power when used correctly.",

TIP_WENDY = "Nothing could ever come between Wendy and her twin sister Abigail. Some bonds transcend even death.",

TIP_WEBBER = "Once upon a time, a little boy was swallowed up whole by a big hungry spider. Now they share everything; a body, a mind, and the name Webber.",

TIP_WALTER = "Walter's time in the Pinetree Pioneers has made him more prepared than most for surviving in the wilderness. Unfortunately, this is undermined somewhat by his blind fascination with monsters.",

TIP_THEM = "\"You can't run from Them forever. Take it from me, pal.\" -M",

TIP_PORTALS = "\"It seems that every time we discover a doorway out of this terrible place, it just leads to more strange worlds with new horrors to endure. Still, I can't give up hope that one day we'll find a doorway that will take us home...\" -W",

[that-thing-that-feeling]

I’m all for more Jonathan-Joyce scenes in general but I’m not sure why so many (and Charlie himself apparently?) think that the 2 of them having a big conversation is so essential to Jonathan’s development. We saw Joyce waiting anxiously for his admission letter to Emerson so she wants him to move on. It’s consistent with her mentioning NYU in S1. She also has apologized for relying too much on him after her divorce. And she seems to have less trouble than him trusting a few people to help her (and boss them around, lol) : Bob, Murray, Hopper. Jonathan has to work on himself and his insecurities, I’m not sure what else Joyce could do or say that would help him.

Hmm idg this take at all. First, Joyce and Jonathan scenes were such a fantastic part of s1—they were so complex and developed. And then the show just completely dropped it. It def feels like they need to talk; Jonathan is still under tons of stress, was self medicating in s4 (which she didn’t know somehow), doesn’t feel comfortable leaving his family (he also changed his whole college plans which she doesn’t know abt—altho btw I wonder if she wonders why he didn’t apply to NYU), he has been parentified for a long time, is still dealing with the lingering effects of Lonnie, and is about to get a new Dad—they could or should discuss any of these things. The idea that Jonathan just has to work on himself and his insecurities so they shouldn’t talk—he does have a mom he was close with and what about “you think you’re all alone but you’re not alone?” Joyce and Jonathan talking would be v useful to Jonathan’s development bc we haven’t seen it happen since s1 and there’s a lot there to talk about.

I def think talking to his mom would help him—it would help him feel more that the family is safe and he could be apart from them, and it would check in about how he is. It’s not that it solves all his problems; he’ll still have a lot to work on, but how weird would it be to come full circle to s1 and not have these characters interact? It’s so weird they haven’t interacted for multiple seasons as it is. I think the actors—like Charlie saying he wants to see Joyce and Jonathan talk—are also baffled such a complex relationship was dropped and it would just be so weird if they didn’t talk before the show ends. Plus who wouldn’t want to work with Winona lol. It’s also just been a way the show has minimized all the Byers and the complexity of the Byers.

Comfort Tag Game

Got tagged by @energievie do this cute little comfort tag game. Let’s see if I got any of these things.

---

We can all use a little comfort from time to time, so what’s the first thing that comes to mind when you see the following:

Song: Not a strong start.....I don’t really have one?

Band: Oh boy...

Movie: Ummmm..........

Actress: Dammit you guys....

Actor: Nope.

TV Show: OH! I got two!! Scrubs or Brooklyn 99! 

Concert Video: I actually have one of these too. @whatwouldmickeydo this is Jeremy Jordan

Book: I know Dr. Seuss was a racist dick, but Oh the Places You’ll Go just makes me feel things.

Author: I wouldn’t say she gives me comfort, but I have a deep respect for Margaret Atwood and I dream of running into her on the streets of Toronto. I’d fully shut down.

Poem: Oh I got several of these! The Road Not Taken - Robert Frost (it was the first poem I ever analyzed for a paper); The Cremation of Sam McGee - Robert Service; Point B - Sarah Kay; Tearaway - Winona Linn; Annabel Lee - Edgar Allan Poe

Character: Spike

Piece of Clothing: A giant ass sweater that I stole from an ex like a decade ago. It’s massive and comfortable and warm.

Meal: fried chicken

Snack: All dressed chips or chocolate ice cream, depending on the mood

Drink: earl grey tea

Animal: Leah and Charlie

Room: my own. 

Ok! that was way better than I expected it would be! Rough start, but a strong finish I’d say. Let’s get another round of this going. I’m tagging @celestialmacy​ @creepkinginc​ @gallawitchxx​ @heymrspatel​ @squidyyy23​ @gardenerian​ @whatwouldmickeydo​ @metalheadmickey​ @thisdivorce​ @energievie​ @iansfreckles​ @sickness-health-all-that-shit​ @sleepyfacetoughguy​ @tidalrace​ @xninetiestrendx​ 

[yanderes-galore]

Maybe Winona (dst) concepts where you got sucked in with her at the factory so now she protects you with her life? :)

I can try, sure! I was today years old when I learned she's related to Charlie.

Yandere! Winona Concept

Pairing: Romantic/Platonic

Possible Trigger Warnings: Gender-Neutral Darling, Yandere-like behavior, Obsession, Overprotective behavior, Manipulation, Mentioned trauma/relative 'death'

- Winona and you most likely worked together in the factory.

- You two were really close, Winona probably even liking you a little more than she should have.

- Then the whole portal incident happens.

- Once she repairs it, you enter the room to save her from the disaster happening at the factory.

- "Winona? Come on! We don't have time!"

- That's when you see the portal take your friend, you rushing in to grab her hand before being dragged in too.

- Now, you both are in an unfamiliar place, only having each other to survive.

- Winona when she enters the Constant with you is already quite shaken up.

- Before entering the portal, she saw her long lost sister.

- The one she thought had been lost forever-

- That's not the only thing that scares her, either.

- You're both in an unknown place.

- She's both relieved and scared that you're with her, but she now knows she needs to keep you safe.

- She can't lose you too....

- So she'll do anything to keep you with her, even in this unrecognizable land.

- "It's just us now, I guess.... Let's find a way to survive, alright?"

- Unsurprisingly in this situation, Winona is protective of you.

- She's scared for the safety of both of you, often tinkering with what she has to make defense mechanisms around the base you two create.

- Having it just be you two can be somewhat of a comfort to Winona, but she is still rather stressed about threats in this realm.

- In this realm she'll do what she can to have you safe.

- She may even be able to tell you how she really feels.

- When you two are more situated, at least.

- The more you two gather, build, and fend of creatures... the more your bond strengthens.

- You see Winona as someone you can trust.

- Someone you feel you can lean on.

- While Winona only falls even more in love with you.

- She liked you before the fall of the factory, but now she feels herself spiraling more and more into her little obsession.

- Winona is Protective and Obsessive over you.

- No sadism in sight, just a smart and strong woman protecting who she cares about.

- Winona can get anxious about the safety of you and her too, which feeds into her anxiety.

- But she's happy she at least is stuck with you.

- In this realm, she loves and protects you, you'll just have to accept her feelings right?

- Not like you can leave her if you didn't, you'll die out there alone.

- "We've built this base from the ground up, together. You won't leave, right? I can't lose you...."

work in progress, coming soon :)

[willel]

Now that I understand what your saying I 100% agree. The only scenes I can think of that really showed how much Will loved/cared about Jonathan was in season 1 when he was in the hospital yet was more concerned about if Jonathan is ok and when he kept singing the song Jonathan played him when he was scared in the upside down as a way to comfort himself. Joyce was always more focused on Will then Jonathan(plus she put way too much responsibility on Jonathan) and I can’t think of a single scene where Mike showed love and concern for Nancy(or anybody else in his family for that matter)

Indeed. It's really a shame. I don't understand why they seem to be actively avoiding it. Charlie (Jonathan's actor) said Winona was literally going "wth why can't I hug my other son" while they were filming season 3 and they just straight out refused her.

Hell Here

Netflix has finally released a trailer for the long awaited Wednesday and i have to say, i love it! Listen, I've been a fan of the Addams Family for years. Long before those two excellent films (I'll get to those in am minute) i used to watch the old Fifties show religiously. It came on during the afternoon, right before Fox Kids Club. I watched The Munsters, The Addams Family, The Andy Griffith Show, and The Beverly Hillbillies. The standout for me was, of course, The Addams Family. When the Nineties films released, i was all over them. Already accustomed to the macabre shenanigans of these gothic good-fellows, i absolutely gravitated toward these more campy, eccentric, takes on the characters. I loved these films and my favorite character in them was, Wednesday. I literally fell in love with Wednesday Addams and developed an actual crush of Christina Ricci, one that I've held to this day. Suffice it to say, i am looking forward to what Netflix had planned but, more than that, it was cosigned by Tim Burton.

I really have to get around to that list of my favorite directors because there are plenty but Burton is up there. I love this dude’s style. I love the approach he takes to making his films. Burton basically makes live action cartoons. That’s it. That’s the draw. It makes sense as he got started as an animator at Disney but got canned because of his WAY too gothic sensibilities. The man crafts amazingly visual fairy tales and you absolutely have to respect the f*ck out of that. His films, however morbid, macabre, or weird, never disappoint. Even his stop motion work puts others to shame. Beetlejuice, James and the Giant Peach, A Nightmare Before Christmas, his two Bat-flicks, Corpse Bride, Edward Scissorhands, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and Mars Attacks are all favorites. I trust in this man’s ability to craft a wonderful cinematic experience and look forward to what he contributes to Wednesday as a producer. I enjoy Tim Burton and, as a black dude, some cats might find that odd. Others, problematic.

Tim Burton doesn’t cast black people in his films. Hell, he doesn’t cast anyone of color, really. Like, Billy Dee Williams got to be Harvey Dent in the first Batman but, of the top of my head, that’s it. Everyone else is either Johnny Depp, Winona Ryder, or Helena Bonham Carter. For me, i get it. The aesthetic Burton uses does not lend itself to those with melanin. In this man’s entire filmography, four films have had people of color in them. Cats are piling on the dude for being literally anti-black, which can be a thing. When asked about this lack of diversity in his films, Burton did himself no favors with his ridiculous answer but i get it. Dude leans heavy into German Expressionism. Striking whites to contrast exaggerated sets and costumes. Colors are as much a character as the actors and the palette Burton chooses to use does not allot for a lot of wiggle room in the melanin department. I get it. I don’t like it but i get it.

Burton is an artist. He is, by definition, an auteur director. If he doesn’t want to cast colored folk in his lily white films, that’s fine. I can’t be mad at a guy for following his creative inspiration, even if that inspiration is devoid of anything resembling representation. Does this mean Tim Burton is racist? I don’t think so. I don’t think Burton hates black people. I think he’s just comfortable with his deathly pale white folks. Do i think his films are problematic for their lack of diversity? Personally? No. If you get mad at Burton, you have to get mad at Peele because it’s kind of the same thing. More than that, Burton is really f*cking good at his goddamn job, man. I never once questioned why there weren’t any black folks in his movies because they were, very obviously, cartoons to me. Everything was surreal and exaggerated, so it was easy to accept that no one who looked like me, lived in those worlds. Besides, what black person is going to live in a place like Sleepy Hollow? What person of color is about to hire f*cking Beetlejuice to exorcise some ghosts or whatever?

Ultimately, i don’t think Time Burton has malice in his heart when he excludes people of color from his films. I think he just doesn’t believe they fit the look of the narrative he’s trying to tell. For me, it’s as simple as that. But I'm not a Zoomer and i did grow up on this man’s stuff. I have a much thicker skin for things like that because i grew up during a time when i needed one. I do love the fact that the youth are questioning the sh*t i took for granted, though. I love that they are challenging the status quo. Burton should be called out on this bullsh*t. He deserve to answer these hard questions but does his lack of diversity tarnish his filmography for me? Not at all. He’s still one of my favorite directors and i thank him every day of my life for vacuum sealing Michelle Pfeiffer into that catsuit.

[starsarestars]

Right so I’m gonna post my mood boards and MC content for my fic primary. which I have yet to publish but am hella excited about. This is a lot so if you don’t wanna read it that’s completely fine.

"Winona, send a selfie to the islander that you think is the most attractive."

Winona’s smile doesn’t quite reach the panicked look in her wide eyes, her hands fumbling at the strap of her strawberry patterned bum bag out of nervous habit.

"Oh, okay! I’m not good at selfies, so if it’s really iffy I’m dead sorry!" Winona chirps, brandishing the instant camera looped around her neck before Hope gently prises it from her hands.

“They meant your phone, babes.”

Winona blinks.

“Oh, okay!”

There's a complete pantomime of her scrambling to find her phone in her bag and then once she finds it, an even longer ordeal with her fiddling with her phone before she smiles in relief. After pressing her screen a cacophony of buzzes emit - she'd forwarded it to everyone.

“You were supposed to pick one islander." Lottie bemoans, to which Winona smiles in a way that is wholly innocent, her cheeks faintly flushed.

“Oh, I couldn't decide! I think you're all lovely!"

Winona Wright

A 24 year old trainee Primary School teacher born and raised in a caravan park in a tiny rural town all the way in North Wales, Winona has unfortunately been given the reputation of being unlucky at finding love on the one show where finding love is the one thing you’re meant to do. Ceaselessly enthusiastic and at times way too forgiving, Winona has the tendency to back everybody but herself and will put her own feelings on the back burner for the sake of everyone else to the point it has escalated to where she’s mediating everybody’s relationships while her own deteriorates. Believes that nobody is a lost cause and definitely has the whole “I’m not mad, just disappointed.” thing down to a t as it’s very rare to get a blow up from her. In the rare instances it happens it’s absolutely monumental and from a place of hurt and that’s when you know you’ve fucked up. Best friends with Hope and is the driving force behind her taking risks and doing what’s right for herself while being the one person Hope feels comfortable enough to be vulnerable around. Besides Hope, she’s really close friend with Rahim and is the first person to stick up for him and boost his confidence. The other islanders (even if they aren’t close with her.) know who to go to when they’re feeling down and need somebody to lend an ear. She jokes that she’s been put in the Villa because the budget for on site mediators had been cut but hey, on site mediators don’t make a cup of tea and call you “sausage” affectionately. She’s still in the throes of trying to get over her unrequited crush on her best mate(👁👄👁) and more often than not when people couple up with her it’s to spite their partner because “oh you’re such an antagonistic fuck that I’m coupling up with her for relief 😡😡😡” and while it irk her a little bit that every coupling she’s had has crashed and burned, she knows that she’s there for a reason and that even if it takes a bit of time, she’ll find the right person for her.

Style wise she’s got a hankering for anything kitschy, bright and eye catching. It’s kind of an ingrained habit from her job but also because she wants her style to reflect her personality as much as possible and she absolutely lost her mind when she saw the strawberry dress for the first time. Open to listening to just about anything if somebody tells her about it with enough enthusiasm and is a keen listener to the point she smashes most of the challenges as she remembers the silly and somewhat insignificant details about whoever she’s partnered with. She wants everyone to feel important and listened to.

And the two new Casa Boys bc primary. Is so far from canon aidjsjdsj

Charlie Booth

The fourth boy saunters across the poolside with an assured austere that carries from his posture all the way to his expression. He’s rather pale, incredibly tall and yet he carries himself with a careful elegance to compensate for the clumsiness that would befall somebody with his frame. His hair is dark, not particularly neat but cut in a way that makes it a lot easier to style. He radiates the energy of an old film star with a transatlantic accent and a statuesque austere, or perhaps the quintessential British gentleman - the kind who’d don Saville Row suits and drink whiskey, pure curated class in every sense of the word. He was somebody who exudes confidence in a more refined and astute manner in a vein similar to Lucas. He doesn’t brood like Lucas however, as the beginnings of a broadening smile presses itself upon his lips as he carefully assesses the row of girls. Winona noted that never seen eyes like his before, such an intense and arresting shade of jade green framed by stark, thick black lashes. They’re light and striking yet gleaming with kindness rather than a piercing look - he seems to sense that the girls are just as nervous as he is.

“Well this isn’t fookin’ Butlins, is it? I’m Charleh.”

The Mancunian accent that escapes him is the starkest juxtaposition Winona’s ever bore witness to - she absolutely loves it. A hum of chuckles from the girls seems to satisfy both Charlie and production, as the door opens again.

26, born and raised in Manchester but based in Kensington. Raised with a very working class upbringing and raised in one of the seven sisters apartment blocks, Charlie originally intended on getting a job at a building site to help support his Mother and siblings but ended up becoming a tailor who helps run his estranged Father’s business after his health steadily began to decline and he could no longer run the shop. The working relationship between the two was rather contentious at first and there was a lot of resentment for obvious reasons, but nonetheless Charlie is very dedicated to everything he does and worked hard to learn how to properly make made to measure and bespoke garments. While it wasn’t something he was initially passionate about, he’s found a deep love and appreciation for the craftsmanship that was put into it and his sense of style definitely evolved from the laddism tinged stuff he was used to. I’d say he’s pretentious but unintentionally, he really loves climbing and hiking and Henrik is very surprised because he’s so put together and refined looking. Charlie can be very playful but there’s a front you kinda have to ebb away first because he has a hard time trusting people. When it comes to conflict he’s more keen on subtle remarks/muttering shade about the perpetrator into the ear of the wronged party and making it an inside joke, he can be very petty when he wants to be. Charlie is a mf enigma honestly. Bisexual legend (and figured it out while on the show, although he’d always put it into question but pushed it aside bc our workaholic king was like “this is a problem for future me.”)

Favourite Music Genre: he was pretty much reared on the Madchester genre and has a whole catalogue of vinyls from the Factory Records label because of his Mum’s influence but he’s def got a soft spot for 90s girl groups and 70s Pop (although he’d have to trust you A LOT to tell you this because he wants you to think he’s this very refined pretentious mf when in actuality he lives off Bernard matthews Turkey dinosaurs, potato smiles and beans.)

Wren Ellis

"I- Oh gosh, I'm so sorry. I'm usually not this bad at the chat stuff, please don't think I'm always like this." Winona blathers. Wren cracks a sympathetic smile, reaching over to pull her in a gentle embrace. She's engulfed with the comforting aroma of smoky, rich cedarwood that’s warm from settling into his skin while offset with wafts of apple from his shampoo. It's a clash yet it's befitting for the character that Wren seemed to be.

"Don't worry about it, it's just a silly little thing, I'm not gonna think you're some asshole 'cause you didn't get some shitty little chat up line I come up with. If this is making you really nervous, I could always ask somebody to give you a breather for a bit…"

He stares pointedly at the huddle of crew.

"I understand this is a lot, I'm only calm 'cause I had a few shots before all this and-"

The sharp ding of the bell ringing out interrupts his stream of pleasant chatter. A cameraman gives him a sharp look to which Wren scoffs with a roll of his eyes, ever the contrarian.

"Fuck the bell, I'm not moving until you're alright."

As for Wren, he’s definitely Charlie’s polar opposite. Where Charlie is completely controlled and curated, Wren is chaotic and a lot less put together. Wren is a Freelance Artist/Barista who graduated from Goldsmiths with a degree in Fine Art, he’s completely dedicated to his craft and has a keen eye for all things creative even if his process and approach is a bit more balder-dashed. He believes that his best work comes from when he is stricken by inspiration in the early hours and the idea absolutely will not leave his mind until he etches it down. He’s 26, from an unorthodox Jewish family and lives in Brighton, but lived in New Jersey up until he was 13. He’s still slightly got the accent and he definitely gets a bit homesick sometimes but he found so much happiness and made so many good memories in Brighton that he doubts he’d go back there permanently. He’s covered in stick and poke tattoos made by his artist friends and he loves every single one of them (and can recant the stories that led up to each one off by heart.) Despite his sort of scatterbrained and playful front, he can be very patient and attentive not to mention he’s very outspoken and vehement in his defence for the people he cares about and just about anybody in general, if he perceives something to be wrong he will gladly stick up for the wronged party and will throw hands on their behalf if pushed to extremes. He dislikes pretentiousness and hates the sneering pomposity that seems to permeate in some aspects of the art world (because most of the time it’s a thinly veiled attempt at making things a lot less accessible for people.) although he very much tolerates Charlie because he understands that his pretentiousness is unintentional and he’s just genuinely passionate about his craft to the point that he tells everyone about it as if they don’t understand it because the amazement he had the first time he learnt about it kinda carried over, it has this whole air of mystique thing. Also bisexual (he’s known since he was about 16.) Wren’s music taste is very “I’m a former punk but trying to hide it by listening to folksy stuff” PACK IT UP REN FAIRE PRINCE AND GET YOUR MF BAD BRAINS VINYL OUT!!!
