#We all know Frank and Eddie are gay

[shelly-vision]

what if welcome home is like a story about the queer erasure of the time and the show was canned because most of if not all the characters were queer and the current state is like the results of their world being taken from them

[carnivalcarriondiscarded]

in tonight's endeavor to be distracted from Everything, i have painstakingly jotted down the base, beginning ideas for a modern human au. it includes a gap-year group road trip in Wally's RV, Home

[kenphobia]

HEY LOVER!

"Hey lover, won't you treat me right?"

summary. wally may be the town's darling but in his eyes and heart, you're the actual darling <3 (headcanons / 0.9k wc / see end notes)

contents. tooth-rotting fluff, kind of crackship core, romantic relationship. read my pinned post before interacting!

✦ Perhaps, you were a new neighbor or just a random puppet from the outskirts of the neighborhood— whoever and where ever you are, you were bound to meet Wally some point in your life.

✦ Wally is a curious puppet and loves putting his (imaginary) nose into places he shouldn't be putting, and you caught his eye for some unknown reason. It was fine enough, he was only interested about your life before the neighborhood and what kind of things you like. Eventually, you started asking the same questions back at him and it went on from there.

✦ There was always something that Wally would get interested in someone, no matter how pathetic and boring they look and are. It's up for your own interpretation why he was so intrigued by your person in the first place, maybe it was your personality? Your smile? Your voice? Wally loves it all regardless.

✦ Being the town's local artist, Wally takes most of his inspiration from his surroundings and sooner or later, he began adding bits of you in his paintings. It began when you happened to be one of the many faces he painted to crowd his landscape paintings until he started painting portraits of you, many and many canvases pilling up in the corner, and all of them were of you.

✦ I wouldn't exactly say Wally was embarrassed, but he was coy. He only showed you few of those portraits and gave it you, but most of them are tucked somewhere in his house aka his bedroom. He reasoned was because they're unfinished when in reality, he couldn't properly 'sleep' without having a bit of you near him, even if it's just a painting he made.

✦ Wally loves it when you spend time with his friends too, especially when you get along with Barnaby! The canine puppet was his bestest friend and enjoys spending time with you two at the same time. He couldn't help but fawn over his two favorite people hanging out and actually being friends. Seems like a dream for him, to be honest.

✦ Before you and Wally had made it 'official', everyone assumed the two of you were already a thing. It was confusing, to say the least. It makes sense once you realized how lovey dovey you two had acted around each other.

Upon hearing a knock on your door, you immediately rushed to it and opened it. Though, you were about to open your mouth and blurt out a greeting, you stopped your tracks as you saw Frank holding Wally by his collar. Wally didn't look too happy being held up like a wet, pathetic cat.

"Sorry to disturb you, (Name), but I believe this is yours." Frank began, motioning to the smaller puppet beside them. "Your little boyfriend over here was found stealing few of Howdy's apples again."

You blinked, furrowing your brows in complete and utter confusion. "I— First of all, Boyfriend? And second of all, he was doing what again?"

"He was caught messing with the apples for the 3rd time this week. Eddie's dealing with an angry Howdy right now and we have to deal with your lovebirds' troubles because we're the only other couple here unfortunately." Frank explained, doing various of hand actions.

"I'm sorry, but me and Wally aren't a couple??"

Frank made a sound of confusion and acknowledgement. "Hm, I thought you were one of us. My mistake."

"I- I have no idea if you mean if we're also gay or if we're also in relationship like you and Eddie."

"Are we though?"

"Wally, I swear to god—"

✦ Wally is extremely touch starved, like most residents, and doesn't know what to do when you do give him affection so he goes limp in your arms. It takes him a few seconds to recover once you release him though, maybe stumbling a bit when you settle him back down on the floor or even crashing back into you. The latter would definitely happen and you'd be stuck with him atop you until someone pulls him off or you do.

✦ Whenever Home locks Wally out, you'd offer him to stay in your house. He'd deny a couple of times, but he'd later come with you since he doesn't want to stay out at night. He never really liked the dark anyways.

✦ He was a little nightlight at both yours and his place, and would ask you tell him bedtime stories. He doesn't sleep, yes, but he does enjoy laying down beside you and being used as some sort of stuff animal. He also even closes his eyes, so you'd think he's sleeping. You know he isn't and often call his BS.

"You know, (Name), that was the bestest sleep I had. We should do a sleepover again." Wally sugguested once, enjoying a lovely breakfast with you. He had turned away from his plate to face you for a moment, his pupils shrinking down.

"Wally, you don't sleep." You deadpanned, holding a cup of warm coffee in your hand.

"How would you know that, (Name)?" Wally tilted his head, smiling.

"Chanting 'I am sleeping' with your eyes closed doesn't count as sleeping, Wally."

✦ You're also the first one people would go to if Wally got into trouble. He's always off messing with Howdy's apples, 'borrowing' Julie's hairspray supply, breaking and entering in someone's house, etc... As much as many felonies Wally had committed, you still love him.

✦ You just wish he wasn't so nosy to make up for his lack of a nose.

Okay. So. I’ve seen a few fics and posts about Eddie being in a production the Rocky Horror Picture Show and Steve stumbling across it and having a sexual awakening, which, fantastic showstopping incredible BUT

What if we had the opposite.

Picture: baby gay ally Steve with his new lesbian BFF Robin who he wants to be supportive for, so he decides that the best thing for him to do is obviously to drive her up to Indianapolis to find a her gay club and potentially a girlfriend so that she can enjoy all the same things that he does! It’s only logical. It doesn’t quite work out that way of course because although she’s excited, Robin is also nervous and kind of overwhelmed, BUT they do meet a lovely group of Elder Gays™️ who take one look at this Disaster Pair of Obvious Babies and decide that These Are Their Children now.

Steve and Robin both learn a lot from these new adoptive gay parents of theirs, from Safe Sex With Any Gender to How to Find Other Gays Without Attracting Attention to No, There’s More Than Just Gay Or Straight, Yes Really, We Promise. One of the aforementioned things is gay media, including the cult classic RHPS, and what do you know, There’s a Showing On Tonight, Let’s All Go It’ll Be Fun.

They go. And Steve LOVES it. It’s weird as fuck and he doesn’t follow half of the plot, but neither does anyone else it seems like because of just how weird it is, and the songs are all super catchy and screaming the words ‘asshole!’ And ‘slut!’ At the stage is weirdly cathartic for him.

Now. This wouldn’t lead to much of anything, except that Steve watches the movie so much on nights when he can’t sleep without waking up screaming from nightmares that he accidentally memorises all of the songs, and THEN, one night when he and Robin are having a Gay Night On The Town, he gets kind of hammered and ends up doing Karaoke on stage with a drag queen to Touch-a touch-a touch me. And he’s good. Very good, in fact, enough that he’s approached by a local theatre worker who just so happened to be in the club that night, who mentions that auditions for a new production of RHPS are being held soon, you’ve got real talent kid, why don’t you go for it?

And Steve isn’t going to, but he’s in desperate need of a hobby, and Robin is stood next to him chanting DO IT DO IT DO IT FOR MEEEEEEE, and you know what? Their lives are already So Goddamn Weird. So off he goes, and whaddaya know, ladies and gentlemen, you are looking at the brand spanking new Dr Frank-n-furter!

Enter Eddie, stage left.

Now with part two!

Additional stobin interlude scene!

Part Three/Four!

[ghost-in-a-flowercrown]

my extremely disorganized welcome home theory!!!

this may sound crazy but please hear me out

there are three main points to this, all of which ill elaborate on under the cut!

one of the companies, either marlo or playfellow workshop, clearly tried to make a lot of changes to the show. this includes heavy merchandising, forcing julie/frank to be read as a couple, and cutting eddie from the show.

i think that once a character no longer appears on the air, they are forced into a sort of subliminal bond with their own home, isolating them and making them essentially unable to leave. we see this with eddie's situation.

if all of this is true, i may have a very good idea for the direction in which the story of welcome home will lead.

quick disclaimer beforehand : obviously, our knowledge on this is constantly growing and expanding! this is not my "entire opinion" on the story nor do i think this is the cold hard truth. these are simply my ideas!

in general, i think the idea of the offness coming from anything internal of the show , like the characters or home, is a far stretch .. more likely, it's coming from the people making the show itself.

my theory is that either playfellow workshop or marlo was taking control of the show , probably towards the end of its run, and making massive changes in the interest of maximizing profit. first of all the commercials clips feel off in and of themselves to me, because we can see that they literally partnered with anything in order to sell it. this is most clearly Weird in the sleeping pills wally clip, but also all over - of course this could just be that it was a popular show and wanted to make bank, but personally i think it was one of the companies pushing for more brand deals and more merchandise and more money.

this, of course, leads directly into the eddie/frank situation. as many different people have stated, this was the 1970s, and if there was any ability in the show for them to be read as a couple this could get a ton of backlash. i'm willing to bet that the company tried first of all to push julie/frank to be more easily read as a couple, then later deciding on either diminishing eddie's role a TON or deleting him completely.

and like, think about it. unfortunately, most of the characters don't really harbor any huge friendship towards him, at least not in the clips we've seen. while having positive relations with poppy, julie, frank and wally, he doesn't have as much as an outright "gimmick" or thing to sell as the others.

julie's excitable, sally's theatrical, frank's stubborn, howdy's charismatic, barnaby's funny, poppy's sweet, wally's reserved but polite, and eddie. "talks a lot". if you're an executive and you're going to cut one character from a show, especially in the interest of Not looking like theres Anything gay in your show, which would you choose?

NOW for the second part:

my believe about home, and furthermore all the homes in the series - but more directly Home - is that i think they act as sort of devices that the company can use to manipulate the characters. my theory about the eddie situation in the recent update is that it takes place in the midst of when the company was attempting to cut him from the show.

and when we see eddie in the midst of his breakdown, he's VERY tied to the post office (his home basically). he's isolated and literally states at a point during it that he assumes everyone's outside and playing in the snow, but never makes any attempt to go out and check - as if it doesn't even cross his mind. he expresses some kind of paranoid need to stay at the post office and not leave, even for a moment, which he also talks about in the videos.

when he finally DOES leave for the party, (which, btw, he only does because sally literally grabbed him and brought him there) , he starts seeing all the awful shit he sees (as we know) . INCLUDING HOME. and towards the end of it, all he says to frank is that he wants to go [ to his ] home.

what does all this mean??? im so glad u asked. basically i think that creators' actions upon the show affect the world of welcome home in subliminal ways that the characters aren't directly aware of happening (until, of course, they are.) in this case, if a character is cut from the show or their screen time is limited, they experience being subliminally forced to stay in their own home. if they try to leave, they start witnessing visceral, terrifying things that they can't explain, persuading them to return back home. back where it's "safe".

wally's home in particular, i think, enforces this the most. home is sentient so the company can probably carry out their desires more directly with him than any of the other houses (which are just structures, pretty much). i DON'T think home harbors any ill will themselves, but moreso is just carrying out what "needs to be done."

more evidence for this:

this theory is also entwined with how wally interacts with us, the people on the site, because he mentions in places like the guestbook, etc that he hasn't seen other members of the neighborhood in so long. but that doesn't mean they're not there.

so if a singular being cut from the show means that they are forced to stay in their own home and not go outside, then the show being taken off the air would, in theory, mean that everyone would be forced to stay in their own homes. for decades. wally reaching out to us could very likely be a cry for help and/or last try after years of isolation. (it would also explain why he's so much more off putting/tired/different than his in-show appearances.)

one last thing!!!! i think if that's what's going, on it could explain this sentence from the summary, unchanged since the beginning. i've never really understood this line or what it could mean, but -

this is a HUGE far cry. but i think it's possible that, if i'm right, at some point down the line the characters (still in the neighborhood) will actually try to leave their homes, or they have already, which would cause the "distortion/nightmarish memory". i mean we definitely could describe eddie's hallucination(?) as that so .

yeah i hope you enjoyed 20 minutes of me rambling ... please ask questions if some (or all) of this didn't make sense cuz im not rly sure if this is coherent lol. this also isnt all the thoughts i have about this theory but this post is too long as is lol. thanks so much for reading this far if you have!!!

Obey Me x RHPS

RHPS: Rocky Horror Picture Show (so, no Luke for obvious reasons)

RAD has decided to put on a production of the Rocky Horror Picture Show! Who gets what part?

Brad Majors: Simeon

is among a sizable group of people auditioning for the part

still remains on stage after being told that the audience will be yelling "asshole" every time Brad's name gets mentioned

audition involves singing Brad's verse in "Rose Tint My World"

is the only one that can hit the high note in that verse without having his voice crack

Janet Weiss: a fairly young but sweet female demon

Dr. Frank-N-Furter: Lucifer, Mephistopheles as Understudy

Lucifer honestly was just there at the auditions to watch initially

watching other people fail to bring the character to life, however, irritated him

is a big fan of RHPS and so knows that whoever performs Dr. Frank-N-Furter cannot hold anything back

the only person that he feels came even remotely close to channeling the spirit of the character was Mephistopheles

of course, admitting that would do a number on his pride, and so he gets up from his seat and basically shows everyone how it's done

Mephistopheles is understandably pissed, because damn it, why does Lucifer have to take everything away from him? And why does he have to be the former angel's understudy?

Riff-Raff: Satan

was hesitant to audition at first

that is, until he knew that the character gets to kill Dr. Frank-N-Furter in the end

then he's all in, because he's not going to let the opportunity to mess with Lucifer slip away from him

Magenta: a fellow friend of Satan's

Columbia: Asmo

honestly, the part was kind of written for him

enough said

Dr. Everett V. Scott: Solomon

considering that Lucifer and Solomon are (sort of) rivals as it is, the part's perfect for him

plus, he doesn't have to sing, and his singing is about on par with his cooking

Rocky Horror: Diavolo

this man...

he literally jumped at the opportunity to play Rocky

a, he gets to be shirtless

b, he can lean into his more goofy side

c, he's familiar enough with the story to know that Dr. Frank-N-Furter created Rocky to essentially be his sex toy (and we all know how gay Diavolo is for Lucifer, so...)

Lucifer tried to talk Diavolo out of auditioning for the part but failed to do so (because once Diavolo's mind is made up, it's pretty much impossible to change it)

Eddie: one of Asmo's male flings

The Criminologist/Narrator: MC

the production was their idea in the first place

they're not super confident in their singing voice (hence why they're not playing Janet)

Transylvanians/Floor Show Audience Members: various RAD students (including Mammon)

Crew

Director: MC

Head Costume Designer: Levi

Head of Makeup/Hairdressing: Asmo

Head Set Designer: Beel

Head Sound and Lights Technician: Barbatos

Head Choreographer: Mammon

[sleepingdeath-light]

male s/o hcs ; poly eddie & frank

requested by ; anonymous (12/05/23)

fandom(s) ; welcome home

fandom masterlist(s) ; here

character(s) ; eddie dear, frank frankly

outline ; “Noticed you’re doing poly welcome home headcanons 😎 can we have the gay oomfies Frank and Eddie with a male s/o? 👉😙👉”

warning(s) ; none, just fluff!

you and frank end up being the responsible boyfriends of your trio, making sure that eddie doesn’t sleep through all of his alarms and is late for his shift (poor lad isn’t a morning person, bless him)

frank uses traditional nicknames for you both (darling, love) and eddie uses more modern nicknames (sweetheart, hun)

your (read: frank’s) house has three bedrooms: the largest is the main bedroom where you all sleep, the smallest is the spare room used when one of you just needs some space or is overheating, and the third is a shared home office for all of your hobbies

eddie is a cuddly space heater and snores, frank is a light sleeper who doesn’t move and you get stuck in the middle

you and eddie have bought frank lots of novelty bow ties over the years — he’ll wear them all the time at home but refuses to wear them out

eddie makes scrapbooks for every year you’ve spent together — taking pictures at every opportunity and saving every letter and card you send each other

eddie is a morning person but tends to wake up late, frank lives off of coffee but always wakes up early

impromptu dancing in the kitchen and living room is extremely common

when eddie is on his rounds he’ll stop by and make sure to call you both from whatever phone is closest

he also always makes sure that you know the exact time as he has the only other clock in the neighbourhood on his wrist

matching pyjamas? matching pyjamas.

frank adds a night cap and slippers because he’s too old for his years and eddie usually ends up shirtless by the end of the night because he overheats very easily

whenever eddie rushes out of the door, he’ll always turn back to kiss you both before he leaves

frank refers to you both as his partners but eddie is much more direct by calling you his boyfriends and future husbands

whenever the weather is right for it, the three of you will go and catch butterflies for frank’s collection — listening with hearts in your eyes whilst he recounts plenty of facts about each new species you catch

whenever frank works himself into a tizzy and starts spinning, eddie will gently grasp his face to stop him from making himself lightheaded and you’ll be the one to talk him down

the best evenings are spent huddled on the sofa under a fuzzy blanket with hot cups of tea in front of a fire whilst frank reads you passages from the new book he’s picked up from howdy

if you call either of them babe they’ll turn bright red and lose the ability to speak

eddie is much more open with pda and frank is much more likely to get flustered and freeze if you try to initiate it with him

it’s not that he doesn’t like it, he’s just shy

and julie will tease him for it, he just knows it

you and frank keep a first aid kit in the house, right next to the front door, because the chances of eddie coming back with more bruises and scrapes than he left with is never zero

[darkcrowprincess]

The losers club parents:

*trigger warning use of homophobic words*

*their parents have all noticed their children have been missing together for hours. They start looking in all the spots the kids hang out.*

Mrs and Mr Uris calling out together, their voices echoing together out near the barrens: STAN!! STANLEY!

Mrs Denbrough freaking out and hyper ventilating: We cant lose another child Zack! I can't lose another baby!

Mr Denbrough tries to console her but it feels like empty words: We'll find him. He'll be alright. Its not like Georgie he's with his friends.

Mr and Mrs Hanlon yell out together next: MIKE!!

Sonia Kaspbrak: Your children are never going near Eddie again! You hear me!

Mr and Mrs Hanlon call out again: MIKE!

Maggie Tozier is unfortunately stuck near Sonia, her husband up ahead with Ms Hanscom so they both could call out for Richie and Ben together. The parents have spread out in a big circle near the woods of the barrens. Each calling out their childrens names hoping they'll hear it. Maggie was unfortunately left to deal with Sonia( who they were surprised that the hypochondriac actually agreed to look with them)

Maggie tries to be nice and puts a comforting hand on Sonia's shoulder: Sonia it will be alright. Well find them. It's not any of the boys fault.

Sonia slaps the women's hand away and goes on a horrible tirade: NO! My Eddie Bear is delicate. He should have never run off with any of these boys! Especially your son!

Maggie is finally pissed off(and protective): What do you mean by that?!

Sonia with a cruel smile on her face: You know what your son is like. The whole town knows what a dirty boy he is. But I will not have that little faggot infecting my son with his disgusting feelings!

Maggie slaps the woman hard across her face. Red is in her vision. Her long nails leave scratches along her fat cheek.

Wentworth, goes to stop his wife from full on beating the shit out of Eddies bitch of a mother: Maggie!

Maggie: Our children are missing and all you care about is saying hurtful things about my son! I don't give a shit if my son is gay or both our kids have feelings for each other! As long as they're happy!

Maggie is about to jump on the vile woman but her husband picks her up. She's still tries to kick and hit at Sonia (unknowingly, she looks a lot like her son in that moment).

Maggie: You are a vile woman and your son deserves better. FRANK WOULD HATE YOU, especially for what your doing to your son.

Sonia: YOU BITCH! You take that back!

Sonia is held back by Mr and Mrs Denbrough.

Maggie: Why its not like I'm lying, Frank if he was alive right now would take Eddie away from you and never look back! And it be within his right! Your suffocating your son!

Sonia screams in anger: I'm protecting him! Its because of all your kids!

The two mothers keep fighting. Which causes the other parents to come closer and try to help. Unknowingly their children are at the top of the cliff of the barrens hearing everything.

All 7 of the losers peak their heads over the cliff to watch everything. Like little animals popping their heads out of hidding.

Eddie and Richie both stare at each other in shock.

Bill: W-we need to get down there. I-I can't believe t-the-y ww-were looking for us.

Richie: Do we have to, I'm actually finding it really cool how badass my mom is being right now.

Bill: R-richie! What about Eddie?!

Eddie with a bit of satisfaction for himself: Give it a few more minutes. Mrs Tozier just tackled my mom into the mud.

The losers all look back to see the fight.

Eddie to Richie: Your mom is so cool.

Richie with stars in his eyes: 🤩 I know right.

Richie without thinking moves fully out of hiding to cheer his mom on: GO MOM!

Maggie who finally hears her son, looks up to see the kids on the cliff: RICHIE?!

The other losers: Richie! How are we suppose to explain this to them?!

*This being the fact that they just finished fighting an evil space clown*

Richie: Oops.

Maggie dropping Sonia Kaspbrak back into the mud, yells back up to her son: RICHARD WENTWORTH TOZIER! Get your ass down here now! You know how worried we have all been!

Richie nervous now: Ooooh full name not good.

The Right Place in Time

Summary: What if Steve was in the woods with Chrissy and Eddie getting weed for his headaches?

@disrespectedgoatman @estrellami-1 @darkrose517 @panicatthediaz @mandriice @nightmareglitter @limpingpenguin @wonderland-girl143-blog

Chapter One - Chapter Two - Chapter Three - Chapter Four - Chapter Five - Chapter Six - Chapter Seven - Chapter Eight - Chapter Nine - Chapter Ten - Chapter Eleven - Chapter Twelve - Chapter Thirteen - Chapter Fourteen - Chapter Fifteen - Chapter Sixteen - Chapter Seventeen

Chapter Eighteen

Steve was both relieved and terrified that the opening was big enough that they didn't have to go through the lake to get to the Upside Down. However, it made it much easier for them to get the stereo speakers through and set them up at Reefer Rick's. Steve watched Eddie put his hands on his hips and stared at the speakers.

"You know, we could have probably found some in here," Eddie said, and everyone stared at him. "What?"

Steve sighed and rolled his eyes at him. When they finally had the speakers set up, it was time to part ways. Steve immediately pulled Robin into a tight hug while Chrissy joined her uncle and cousin in a group hug.

"You better come back," Robin sniffed.

"Always," Steve said.

"I love you, dingus," Robin said.

"I love more," Steve said.

"I love you most," Robin said.

Steve moved away from Robin to pull Nancy into a tight hug. He was glad they were at this point where they could hug and not have it be awkward. He was glad that he was able to be friends with Nancy and not cling to the past. It was behind them now, and they both had so much more to look forward to. Steve pulled back, and she smiled tearfully at him. He turned and walked away.

"Steve?" Nancy called out to him and he turned around.

"Yeah?"

"Make him pay," she said.

Steve smiled sadly, knowing that she was thinking of Fred and Barb in that moment. He nodded at her, vowing to do so. Eddie suddenly leaned close to him.

"Okay, what did she say? Because I could have sworn that she said: make him gay," Eddie whispered.

"Make him pay," Steve stressed.

"Okay, yeah, that makes more sense," Eddie said.

Before they walked away, Wayne approached Nancy and pulled a tape put of his pocket.

"I figured you should probably play this," Wayne said.

"Fire Shroud?" Nancy asked, causing Frank and Eddie to gasp.

"When did you get that?" Eddie asked.

"When everyone fell asleep last night," Wayne said, shrugging. "Figured it be a good song to play for the distraction."

"Fire Shroud?" Steve asked.

"It's a Corroded Coffin original," Eddie said proudly. "It would have been the song that made us big had I not been an absolute dumbass and asshole. That's a story for another time."

"Well, when we get out of this, you can tell us all about it," Chrissy said.

"Ooh, speaking of fire! Nancy made extra molotovs!" Robin exclaimed and grabbed a bag before handing it to Steve.

Everyone looked at each other one last time, and then the group separated. Wayne and Matthew walked on either side of the three of them. Ellen walked behind them as they walked towards the Creel House.

"You know, I cried when Matty told me that he wanted to be called Matthew because he wanted to be the kind of man that I was, the kind of man that other people can look up to and who's there for other people," Matthew said. "I was so proud of him for being able to come me, for trusting me with that. I am still so proud of him. He was so proud of you too, Chrissy, just like I am. It's very brave, what you're doing. It's not too late to back out, though, huh?"

"Uncle Matthew!" Chrissy exclaimed, giggling and then paused. "Thank you."

"Well, had to try," Matthew said.

Steve smiled at them and tried not to think about his own parents. Maybe he should have called them. They're probably going to wake up tomorrow and spend all day relaxing by the beach. Maybe he'll save up money and take Eddie and Chrissy to Florida. That'd be nice. It took a while to get there, which wasn't surprising considering they were on foot and not in a car. Steve’s feet wished they were, though. When they arrived at the Creel House, Steve couldn't help but shiver at the sight of it. Here they go, into the lion's den.

Before they went in, Steve signaled to Dustin from the other side to let them know that they were near. It was something that Nancy had come up with when she remembered how Joyce communicated with Will through the lights. A moment later, he got a response back through his flash light.

"Alright, let's do this," Steve said and took Chrissy's hand.

They all walked into the house, carefully avoiding the vines as they moved. They crept carefully up to the attic, letting Chrissy go first. She pushed the door open, moving into the attic and letting the others follow. Matthew and Wayne pointed their guns along with Ellen. Steve raised his bat while Eddie raised his spear and shield. Vecna sat in the middle of the attic, his eyes closed, connected to several vines. Steve grimaced. He was disgusting to look at. He was as ugly as he was on the inside, Steve supposed.

He could feel eyes on him, and he found Chrissy looking at him. She looked terrified, and she held his gaze for a moment before turning to look at Eddie. He watched as she turned to face Vecna, a determined look etched on her face. Yeah, she's got this. Chrissy raised her hand and concentrated on trying to focus her powers. Vecna's arm snapped to the side and his eyes flew open as he screamed in pain.

"Chrissy," Vecna growled.

Ellen, Wayne, and Matthew started shooting. Fire. Steve cursed and dug through the bag. He pulled out a lighter and a molotov. He quickly lit it and threw it Vecna, who had started to stand up. Chrissy snapped his other arm, and he hollered as the flames shrouded his body. She snapped his leg and then the other. Vecna continued to scream, and using his powers, he flung Wayne and Ellen into the opposite wall.

"Uncle Wayne!" Eddie screamed.

Chrissy screamed and began to float in the air. Her eyes turned red as she glared down at Vecna. There was a loud popping sound, and Vecna could no longer see. Suddenly, it looked like she was controlling the fire and was she moving it. . .inside of him? Steve didn't get to wonder any further because a moment later, Vecna exploded.

"Holy shit," Eddie cursed.

Vecna was gone. Suddenly, Chrissy collapsed to the floor. Eddie went over to her and then paused.

"I've got her. Go check on your uncle," Steve said.

Eddie scurried away to Wayne, who was currently sitting up and rubbing the back of his head.

"I'm fine, son, no need to fret," Wayne said.

"We need to get out of here. The fire's spreading, and we need to get to the gate before it closes," Ellen said.

Matthew gave Steve his gun and scooped up Chrissy into his arms. Steve and Eddie helped the other two out of the house. Once they were out, they paused for a moment to catch sight of the Creel House bursting into flames. They quickly started moving back towards Lover's Lake. When they arrived, the others had already climbed through the gate. It was now smaller than before, which meant going through the lake itself. They moved quickly through the gate. Matthew held Chrissy tightly in his arms as they helped him swim to the surface. They swam to shore where Vickie, Robin, Nancy, Frank, and Rodney were waiting for them. Matthew lay Chrissy on the ground and started performing CPR. Eddie and Steve watched nervously from above them. Chrissy woke up with a gasp, coughing up the water from her lungs. She was awake, but she looked completely wiped, blood still under her nose and on her mouth.

"I'm okay," Chrissy said weakly.

A shot rang out. Everyone's head shot up, and Eddie collapsed to the ground, clutching his arm.

"I've been hit!" Eddie shrieked.

Jason came out from behind the trees, wielding a gun. He looked pale with bags under his eyes, and he looked completely manic. He was going to pull the trigger at again. Chrissy raised her arm, her hand shaking. She was too weak. Steve raised his bat and knocked the gun out of his hand. Jason screamed as the nails caught his skin. He charged forward, straight towards Eddie. Steve slammed the bat into his leg, and he collapsed to the ground, crying in pain.

"Good luck walking again, asshole," Steve said furiously and pointed the bat under his nose. "I want you to get the fucking word out to your friends. Stay the fuck away from Eddie and his friends. Stay the fuck away from Chrissy. Got it? I said: Do. You. Got. It?"

"Yes," Jason said, gritting his teeth.

Jason's friends came running out from the trees. Rodney and Ellen reacted immediately, raising their own weapons. The jocks froze and held up their hands. Matthew moved over to Eddie to check his arm.

"Am I going to live, doc?" Eddie asked.

"It's a graze. You're going to be just fine," Matthew said in amusement.

They met up with the others in the parking lot of Hawkins Lab. Max pushed her way through the crowd to hug Chrissy tightly.

"Are you okay?" Max asked.

"Yeah, just really tired. Could go for a light coma right about now," Chrissy said.

"God, that sounds nice," Eddie said.

"We'll Jason and pals to the police station. I don't see why you all can't go home now," Rodney said. "Get some rest."

"Can we just go to yours and call our parents from there to let them know we're having a huge slumber party?" Max asked Steve.

"Yeah. That sounds nice," Steve said.

They all drove over to Steve’s and the first thing they day was call their parents. After that, they all collapsed on the floor of the living room immediately. Steve grabbed pillows and blankets for everyone then for himself. Eddie and Chrissy were already fast asleep on the floor. He carefully pushed a pillow under their heads before laying one down for himself. He threw the blanket over them and collapsed against Eddie's back, throwing an arm around them both. He let everything go and fell into a deep slumber. They fucking won.

Chapter Nineteen

[ultrastupid]

Do not expect me to post in main tags often, I just had to post all this because Sunny, my love, my chaotic little bird man. I had to share all the stuff I've found and/or screenshotted about him with you all because I'm obsessed to an insane degree. Commentary will be included on stuff. Hit the "read more" for more, LONG POST AHEAD!

Some of the few bits of info we have about Sunny, from Clown's old deleted blog. Things of interest include him being friends with Barnaby, an inkling of what his house looks like and where it would be located, and what puppet type he was. Also, the hidden text on his picture. Keep in mind that "being quiet" was a large theme back in the old Welcome Home lore.

An actual high quality version of the Sunny-getting-grabbed-by-puppet-hands pic, since I've seen too many versions of it looking crusty, along with a high-contrast version of it to show the hidden background details.

Group photos of the OG six puppets. Also where my favorite image of Sunny screaming comes from lol. Of course, can't forget that Sunny's name is upside-down in the second pic, hinting at his nature of being different.

Ooky Spooky™️stuff that happens to have Sunny in it. If there is a smidge of Sunny in it, I save it.

Sunny merch. I don't know what on earth this thing is but I'd buy it /lh Also of course, getting rid of him and all that. Note, I believe Clown when they say that Sunny is truly removed and the removal isn't a part of the story or whatever... I can dream otherwise, though, because man that'd be cool if he was removed on purpose FOR a story point. But again, Clown said he was just removed because he didn't fit into the story and they don't like "hero types" for it.

Wake up babe, the OG Frank ship is here. Franks's phone not having a 3, and also having a 6 on it could have meant something, who knows (Edit, it's their numbers from that one pic, I was tired lol). Also more "behave" and "listen" stuff included as well. Anyways observations aside, I just love how floofy Sunny is in the second pic, it gives me life. It's one of the more polished images we get of Sunny, too.

Screenshot of the text that came with the group picture. Again, "being quiet". I'm sure that people could run with this theme for their fanart and fanfics if they wanted to, since I know beta designs have been getting some comeback.

Some more information on what Sunny was planned to be. Points of interest include confirmation that him and Frank indeed were going to be in a relationship, Sunny being a "hero", and Sunny's purpose involving "blow the whistle", which when you pair it with the "be quiet" stuff and focus on "being quiet" really starts to paint a picture and makes me go nuts over what he could have possibly have done. Add the "you're FREE" and again, more things just fall into place. Anyways, "attributes already covered (bird)" makes me laugh.

Anyways onto the more inane stuff (/pos), Frank and Sunny as Ducktales OCs. Everything about the Sunny pic makes me feral and bang my fists on my desk, because he is SO flaming queer, LOOK AT HIS FACE, HIS BODY LANGUAGE, HIS MOVEMENTS, FRANK'S REACTION, THEY ARE BOTH FLAMING GAYS!!! LOVE, ENDLESS LOVE FOR THESE TWO!!!

And lastly to end this all off, Gay People Jumpscare: Electric Boogaloo 2. Sunny's beak being CONE makes me happy. Frank and him physically so close together and Frank blushing makes me happy. Them explicitly being called gay makes me happy.

These two are so delightful, and I like to imagine that in a canon where Sunny still exists, he's accepted into Eddie and Frank's relationship and it's poly and everyone is happy, THE END.

Thank you for coming to my rant about a scrapped character for something that technically hasn't even started and is a flaming queer.

tidbit tuesday

tagged by @rewritetheending and @try-set-me-on-fire <3 here's some more of the post s6 fic:

“So when Frank and I were trying to figure out what I needed from a relationship,” he says without preface, “we didn’t only discover that I was gay. We also– I figured out– What do you know about asexuality?”

“Oh,” Buck says softly. “Um. A little? I haven’t looked into it in depth but I– I’ve read a bit about it.”

That answers one question, though – he definitely misinterpreted Eddie’s expression earlier.

“Of course you have,” Eddie says fondly, and Buck thinks that he can be happy being loved platonically by Eddie. As long as he gets to keep this, he’ll be okay. “Anyway. I’m somewhere on that spectrum, too. Demisexual, maybe, because I– well. You don’t have to say anything, I don’t even know why I’m telling you this.”

“I’m glad you did,” Buck says earnestly. “It’s a part of you, and I want to know all of them.”

Can we have some headcanons of how Frank Frankly would act if them were a suitor of yours (that is, of the reader)? please and thank you

a/n ;; OHH,,, FIRST REQUEST *breakdances* also please, i’m assuming reader is meant to be masc or enby presenting since frank is gay ^^ Because i am feeling enby atm since I am gender-fluid! Also, Y/n is described as being a lively and happy person,, :)

tw / cw (?) ;; swearing (they curse at wally a couple of times), marriage (OMG COMMITMENT😰😰), wally being a little shit! :) plus, (maybe) some horror and arg elements so be cautious! also mentions and hcs of poly frank x eddie x reader :3

BEFORE DATING OR BECOMING YOUR SUITOR!

Tsundere alert!!!!

Anyways, they aren’t as affectionate as the other puppets. But, that’s okay! You know they’re your friend, and they love you and your other friends as well.

Little did you know…

Frank was more confused when they were feeling these strange feelings, they would get red in the face whenever you complimented them or gave them gifts of any sort. And they would sweat and get flustered when you would hug them or slightly touch hands.

As You know, they are the grumpiest neighbor. So, someone acting super affectionate towards them (besides Eddie and Julie) made them feel so, special.. <3

They go to Eddie first, asking him why they feel this way. But, Eddie is kinda… oblivious to attempts at this stuff, so he just thinks your being extremely kind to Frank. So, our Eddie pookie was not too much help 😭

So, they go to Julie. And, Oh, she tells them what they’re feeling alright.

“Wait. You feel strange around y/n? How?” | “You get butterflies in your-oh. OH! OH MY GOSH FRANK! YOU LIKE Y/N!!!” “Of course I do, Y/n’s my friend?” “… Frank, I mean you like them, romantically.” “oh. oh.. OH!”

So yeah, that’s how they figured out they liked you.

And, now they are definitely planning to court you… because of course they are.

“Hello, Y/n. Would you like to go butterfly watching with me?” “Oh! I would love to, Frank!!”

They plan this out, he asks you to go butterfly watching with you, and ask you about courting you.

(Which, may I add, Is so stinking cute like wtf where can I find a love life like this..I have no maidens erm… ☹️)

So, when you guys were walking towards a small hill a little bit away from the neighborhood. They decide they’ll ask you on the hill.

So, when. you reached the top they waited for you to be distracted, and got on a knee and… well, courted you.

It was adorable and you were blushing when you realized what was going on.

AFTER YOU START DATING OR BECOMING YOUR SUITOR <3

Oh goodness.

Cutest couple ever! Like everyone thinks you two are adorable!

Everyone thinks it’s cute because your guy’s trope is basically opposites attract!

Wally being a little shit, and third wheeling, but distracting you and Frank gets annoyed 😭

“what do you even see in him?” —frank, questioning your friendship with Wally. “He makes me laugh :)” — You, who thinks he’s a silly guy

CATCHING AND STUDYING BUTTERFLIES TOGETHER!!!! THOSE ARE YOUR GUYS’ DATES!!!!

You like to play office with them and Julie

They don’t like it because Julie always kicks down their desk after they go bankrupt 😭😭

you sleep in the middle of frank and eddie because if you don’t you end up falling off the bed because eddie is a rowdy sleeper

“how did you end up on the ground, dear?” -frank, worried “i rolled off” - you, who got fucking pushed off the bed when eddie was having a dream

when you, julie and frank were catching butterflies on a hill, they tripped, and rolled down like a tube, so when julie started to sprint on all 4s, you hopped on her back and acted like a cowboy trying fetch a stray sheep…

Frank is still traumatized about that til this day…

[carnivalcarriondiscarded]

So Howdy is basically that one annoying ass kid in high school who’d call everyone around him ‘queer’ as an insult when it’s pretty obvious that he was gay himself and self projecting? Lmaooo i love it and it really does explain a lot!

Ngl though and I’m not trying to bash on laughingstock but i think it’s EDDIE that Howdy might be crushing on since in the banner on the previous update, Howdy’s icon is looking at Eddie’s.

I think he treats him hostilely is because he has feelings for him and he doesn’t know how to process them and so it comes out as anger and passive aggressive resentment.

Ofc I don’t think he’d be the best partner for Eddie due to this… I do think though that when it’s revealed that Eddie and Frank are madly in love that it’s going to cause Howdy to feel more anger and maybe even hatred towards the two.

ehhhh.... not buying it, sorry!

i'd be willing to hear this theory out if there was any evidence other than "Howdy is looking at him in the banner" (and Home is looking at Howdy, and Barn is looking at Wally, and Wally is looking at Us, and Julie is looking at Frank - it doesn't necessarily connotate romance) and the idea of Howdy's treatment of Eddie being a "get out of my school" type of thing.

but if that were the case, wouldn't we have seen more evidence by now? like... Any?? Howdy and Eddie have had minimal interaction, and in each one Howdy was fully disinterested and dismissive of Eddie. there is literally nothing in his behavior or dialogue that implies romantic feelings, repressed or otherwise. you'd think that Howdy would at least get a little flustered or defensive, but he doesn't! all he expresses is disinterest and slight annoyance.

and this just... doesn't feel like a story where a major plot point is "character A is jealous of the established relationship because A is in love with one of them". it's a bit... how do i say? Tacky, perhaps? a touch basic? a teeny bit uninspired...

and character-wise, Howdy having feelings for Eddie doesn't make much sense (the thought that Howdy's treatment of him stems from romantic feelings Definitely doesn't). it doesn't really fit him and what we know about him? there's a reason Howdy views Eddie as a rival, i think.

[theneighborhoodwatch]

i’m aware the “julie and frank are implied to be a couple” is in-universe cishet-washing (is that the term?) to show that the characters upon coming to life have started to resist their makers and form their own identities, but i’m seeing a lot of people go “frank doesn’t like girls!1!” as a response to it and feel the need to remind everyone that julie is genderfluid, shown in the pride month art.

the cishet-washing doesn’t just extend to frank being gay and into eddie, it extends to julie’s gender as well as she present femininely and is only referred to with she/her pronouns so far (as far as i’m aware)

⚠️ i’m not arguing against people not liking the idea of frank and julie being a romantic couple, i’m mad that people are blatantly disregarding julie’s gender ⚠️

hi “julie is genderfluid” anon here it’s 2am at the time of writing and i just realised that i implied that julie being genderfluid means she can’t be a girl that’s not what i meant my point was that people were reducing her to ONLY a girl to justify not liking the idea of a julie/frank romance and that’s bad because for all we know she could have a lot of other gender identities she identifies with as a genderfluid person (puppet?) again i’m not a fan of julie/frank as a romantic couple but i feel like there’s better ways to say that without cis-washing julie remind me never to send asks at 2 in the morning lmao

no worries, i got what you were trying to say! and tbh i agree, i see both the fact that frank is nonbinary And that julie is genderfluid fall to the wayside in a lot of discussions/fanwork/etc. - the latter more often than the former. it's actually one of the things i regret about this post, bc i thought it painted a pretty one-sided picture of [gestures vaguely] that whole debacle, which is something i try to avoid whenever i discuss it in my speculation posts. i know it's just a haha funny joke post and i'm probably the only one who cares but - i like being funny AND accurate, dammit.

[who-knows73]

Once again on my genderfluid Steve/Stevie bullshit this takes place when Steve is still in high school and I know this would probably never happen early 80s but for plot convenience bear with me.

Ok so I know we all love Eddie as Frank N Furter but imagine poor oblivious Steve being one of those jocks who will wear a skirt or like the cheer leader’s uniform for spirit week or something like that. So when some of the basketball team decide they’re gonna audition to be in Rocky Horror cause they think it would be funny and Steve is so enthusiastic that they cast him as Frank N Further. He’s so excited about the outfit and the makeup but he thinks that’s normal and just goes along with it, living his best life in those heels and is by far the best out there in the stage. I mean he just fucking drips sex appeal

A couple years later when Robin comes out to him, he wants to learn more so he reads as many books as he can find and goes to gay bars in Indianapolis for research purposes. He ends up learning that being genderfluid is a thing and it all just kinda clicks. She no longer feels that itch under their skin telling her something just isn’t quite right, he feels comfortable in their skin and it’s euphoric. They think back on the time spent playing Frank N Further and it all just makes so much sense now, the strange looks her “friends” gave him and the shock from the audience that Steve “The Hair” Harrington was playing an openly queer character. It’s like she’s been out in the storm all his life and someone finally opened the door for them, a door she didn’t even know was there in the first place.

Bonus: Eddie was too scared to audition for Rocky horror in fear that he’d get hate crimed but went to the first show anyways. When he saw Steve up on stage looking so ecstatic in that corset he went to every show after that and openly ogled her like a starved lion would a steak for two and a half hours every night. And if he had a bit of a problem he had to hide when he left Avery night he’d never admit it.

Corroded Coffin Headcanons!

Why yes, I am procrastinating. Why do you ask?

I've good all week and want to take a little break and descend into madness, so I'm allowed, okay?

As always, you can headcanon whatever the hell you want, just like I can, so please no hate. Good?

Good.

This mostly about the members of CC and not necessarily about the band as a whole.

I'm going to do Eddie last because we know the most about him.

The Unnamed Freak- And as far as I've heard around, this dude STILL doesn't have a name. I've seen all sorts of names for him: Frank, because it sounds like freak; Grant, because that's the actor's name; Archie, is another I've seen crop up a lot; and of course a smattering of others. In all of my fics, he's Brian. All the other members of the band had epic names: Gareth, a knight of King Arthur's Round Table, Edward, the name of several of England's kings, and even Geoffrey has a lot of famous people of that name. So he gets named Brian. Usually his last name is Martin.

He met Eddie because they were seated next to each other due to their last names in band. Eddie got him into metal music and the subculture.

Bassist for the band he began learning at an early age, early enough that he was and is the band's only bassist.

He is the oldest of four kids having three younger siblings. Two brothers and a sister. He tries to get out of babysitting as often as he can.

He's ace but not aro. When I age him up in stories, he's often in a romantic relationship, but never a sexual one. He's not sex repulsed but it's not for him.

He was held back in kindergarten and understands what Eddie is going through as far as being older than his peers.

He's a year younger than Eddie, and if he hadn't been held back would have graduated with Steve.

Jeff- Everyone thinks his given name is Geoffrey, but nope. It's Jeffrey. It's because his mom thought it would be easier for him. Nope! He has one older sister who is away at college. His last name is Lawrence mainly because I love that name and I think Jeff Lawrence just has a nice ring to it.

He is the grade he's suppose to be in, the same grade as well...literally every other older teen in the series except Steve and Eddie. In fact he's super smart, but doesn't have the patience to help Eddie with his school work. He gets frustrated too easily.

His mom hopes he gives up the idea of super stardom soon because she thinks he's smart enough to be a doctor.

In my fics where I age them up, he has a white girlfriend and understands Eddie's fear of going public with a guy, because in the 80s, black boy and white girl is just as bad as being gay. Still is in some places, sadly.

Jeff is Eddie's best friend, mainly because they both play guitar. Jeff is rhythm guitar, though because Eddie is far and away the better player.

Jeff is bisexual. Yes, he is with a girl most of the time and his relationship with his girlfriend is a lot like a couple friends of mine, where they are both bisexual, but dating an opposite member from their sex. Still experiences attraction to the same sex, though.

Gareth- this might shock some people but Emerson is a fanon not a canon last name for the character. And because I headcanon him as second generation American, his grandparents migrated over to America from Wales and his dad is first generation, their last name is Hughes. His dad knows Welsh, but Gareth and Gethin his twin brother don't.

The main reason I think this is because Gareth is a very Welsh first name. As is the name Gethin, in case you were wondering. It's why I picked Gethin as the name of his twin.

I think Gareth is a twin because there is a character in the first episode taking pictures at the basketball game that looks a lot like Gareth, almost uncannily so. You can even see Nancy talking to him for a moment.

Gareth is gay and Gethin is straight. Gethin is everything his parents would want from a kid, straight, smart, into photography, preppy. Everything Gareth isn't. He's gay, struggles in school, drums for a metal band, and is a metalhead.

That's not to say his parents aren't supportive, because they are. They let Corroded Coffin play in their garage, after all. But Gareth still feels like a disappointment anyway.

He's a junior in high school and absolutely wants to drop out when his bandmates graduate, but he's afraid his mom will kill him.

Eddie- Look, I know I've used Edward as his full name a lot, but sometimes Edmond is just the superior name. And I use them interchangeably, but yeah it's probably Edward considering he grew up poor.

Wayne is a Catholic (you see a calendar of the saints in the trailer) and Eddie grew up around Catholicism, but the more he realized he was gay and moved further into the metal subculture the less he liked the religion.

Yes he does know the patch on the side of his denim vest is the church of Satan. :D

Wayne bought him his first guitar after his mother died and taught him how to play as way of coping with the grief.

Eddie was one of those students that coasted in school until his senior year where suddenly the difficulty was ramped up to eleven.

He promised his mom that he would graduate from high school though, because she didn't. She got pregnant with him.

I think he was 11 or 12 when he went to go live with Wayne, just barely starting middle school. He's been around Wayne long enough that he knows he's loved by him, but old enough to have been influenced a little by his dad's life style.

In fact, it was his dad that got him into dealing drugs for Reefer Rick.

His dad keeps coming into town and dragging Eddie back down with him and leaving Wayne to pick up the pieces.

I've written him bisexual in the past, and probably will again, but there is just something about Eddie being gay that hits a sweet spot. An extra box to tick in the freak department (not that being gay is bad, it's just how Eddie would see it).

The Munson Doctrine is a serious things he's picked up over the years from his dad and uncle but also his experiences with life as whole.

Did NOT get bullied by Steve. Especially since for most of Steve's high school career Eddie was the grade above him. He just dealt at enough parties to "know" rich+good looking+popular with girls=douchebag. But he hasn't had any direct experience with Steve outside of the odd class they had together his second senior year.

Is the president of the Hellfire Club in practice, but on paper it's usually someone else. Someone more liked by the principal. And is billed as a gaming club on the school records so that it doesn't get banned. Everyone knows it's DND.

Corroded Coffin- Just a little headcanon here. Gareth is the second drummer but everyone else were original members that played at that Talent Show (Gareth would have been in fifth grade). They picked up Gareth after their original drummer moved away.

So there you go, just some of my headcanons for the CC boys.
