#also so many of these are nameless wtf LMAO

if they were to kill main characters at any point in the show, who do you think they should have killed and when?

oh that’s such a fun question!!!

okay, s1, in terms of deaths, did pretty alright. you’ve got benny killed by the lab, those hunters killed by the demogorgon, and then finding out about barb’s death later on. you’ve even got a nice el fake out, which was shocking because it was the first time they did it. however! they should’ve killed off brenner in s1, like shown him dead and everything. they didn’t need to bring him back in s4. the abusive dad can fucking rot.

s2 i think did good, bob’s death was hard hitting, the show hadn’t settled into killing off prominent side characters yet, so it was pretty heartbreaking and a big surprise!

s3 is where i think the show kinda started tripping itself up. now, as much as i love him, and as distraught his death made him, hopper should not have been brought back. it literally shouldn’t have even been possible for him to survive and the duffers knew that (he just jumped into a hole? wtf). hopper was a big fucking cast member, and it really would’ve changed the tune of the show, and i think they needed that. now, they also should’ve mind flayer goo’d more people. not mains, but more reoccurring characters. like, troy, the kids bully, or mr clarke, or tommy and carol or something, people we’ve seen before and care just the slightest bit more about. i didn’t give a shit about heather and her parents, and though i doubt most people care that much about carol and tommy, it still would’ve been more jarring (and we could maybe get a little steve development and some closure or something?). oh! and they should’ve killed karen. like, billy kills her. it doesn’t make sense that she’s put in close proximity to him and he doesn’t, and also that’s what you get for trying to sleep with teenagers. i would probably change a lot about s3, but if i can just kill more people, that’s what i’d do.

so main character’s dead would be brenner, hopper and karen, with more side character deaths in the background, and s4 would already be pretty changed by those deaths. honestly, i don’t really want them to kill any of the kids, because i think that’s too depressing, and at this point they’ve only got one adult with them, so they can’t kill Joyce lmao. i’d kill Murray tho, i don’t know how, but i would. i don’t like his character enough for a cast this big. and in s4, again, they should’ve shown more characters we know dying when the world split open, just to kinda make it seem like more of a big deal, instead of just killing off nameless extras.

so, yeah! honestly not that many main character deaths, just because i really can’t bring myself to want to watch our babies die on screen, and i do think these deaths would have a lasting impact on them anyway. and i think with them the duffers would be able to focus more on the living, and we wouldn’t have as many half finished character arcs!

can i hear about those 13 wips you have 😳

absolutely 😳 brace yourselves bc this is gonna be LONG

1) blessing in disguise - alolan movie (multichapter)

- it's basically a plot for an alola-based movie and the pokemon it's focused on is mimikyu bc i love it so much. the concept is kinda about overcoming your own fears (because when you look under mimikyu it's really terrifying right? so it's like seeing your biggest fears) and it mainly focuses on the main cast's dynamic and also papa kukui feels

2) nameless wip - soulmate au (multichapter)

- pretty self-explanatory BUT it's like your soulmate's initials appear somewhere on your body when you turn 10. ofc it's trustedpartner and those two idiots take FOREVER to realise they're each other's soulmates. there's also hints of jellowshipping bc why not

3) before you go (multichapter)

- this one already has 2/3 chapters posted but in the last chapter that's yet to be written (oops) ash meets mohn and gladion meets goh, chloe and delia. also ash and lillie have a Nice reunion bc i've always loved their dynamic and i simply must include it

4) i told you so (oneshot)

- this is prob gonna be posted here instead of ao3 bc it's pretty short but. it's based on this writing prompt i saw where it's like,, write different moments where 'i told you so' is said, so it can be happy, sad, angry etc. again it's trustedpartner

5) nameless wip - game night au (oneshot)

- this one's pretty self-indulgent LOL but it's just the main gang + gladion playing games like super smash bros and mario kart. a lot of cursing going on in there

6) nameless wip - modern au (multichapter)

- modern au!!! the gang are all in highschool and idk,, i don't have much written besides the trustedpartner meeting, a bit of the first chapter and info sheets for the characters. oh but hau plays a big role in this one too!! there's trustedpartner, aquariumplant/bittersweet, and snowlilyshipping

7) nameless wip (oneshot)

- this one fully shows ash and gladion's fight about nebby teleporting lillie to gladion and resetting her trauma. there's a lot of shouting and guilt going on in here and it's pretty angsty but there's also an apology and the two end up having a Bonding Moment (and they fall in love because i said so)

8) nameless wip - proposal/wedding fic (oneshot but possibly multichapter)

- i kid you not this oneshot is 6k+ words and i haven't even reached the wedding part yet.. LOL so it might end up two chapters, or i could slap all 9k words (possibly more) into one chapter like i did with gift you a lovely kiss. i didn't include a lot of the old companions cause i felt like it would be too much to write, but i did include the og gang aka misty, brock and gary!!

9) nameless wip - band au (oneshot but possibly multichapter, depends if i want to turn it into a slowburn)

- basically gladion's in a band with guzma and plumeria called... *drumroll* team skull!! never would've guessed! LMAO anyway gladion sings and plays the guitar, plumeria does keyboard and guzma does drums! but lillie brings ash to see them perform and they end up backstage bc lillie has Family Privileges™ and the gay tension gets THICK. then the two idiots bump into each other outside and all that but i'm still not sure how long i want to stretch out the pining, so we'll see

10) nameless wip - babysitting au (oneshot)

- wow other than the wedding fic i think this is the only fic where ash and gladion start with an established relationship LMAO. but it's just trustedpartner trying to babysitting lei! but because they are absolute disasters it doesn't go amazing,, they still pull it off tho LOL

11) nameless wip (oneshot)

- oh god this is also pretty self-indulgent BUT rmb that episode where ash dresses up as a nurse with the blonde wig and everything? yeah... now take that and let gladion walk in instead... yep. they're gay your honor

12) nameless wip (oneshot)

- this one's not trustedpartner (gasp) but it's actually the prompt by cartoonfanatic101, with zoroark comforting gladion after a nightmare :)

13) nameless wip - scene rewrite (oneshot)

- okay so during the necrozma arc rmb when naganadel appeared and *dramatically falls* and the gang go to help, but gladion resists bc he doesn't want to lose sight of lunala and ub black right? so take that but instead of gladion reluctantly following the gang, he goes after lunala alone like an idiot. and then when naganadel is explaining everything to the gang they hear a loud crash, and in the canon anime it was lunala crashing, but instead of lunala, it was gladion and noivern. noivern protected gladion but he still got injured but like an IDIOT gladion still fights with everyone. then when they come back gladion nearly collapses so ash is all like oh hell no and takes care of him. yes they are in love and yes gladion's stupid

ANYWAY YEAH oh god so many of these are trustedpartner i... if u wanna hear more about a specific wip here just drop me an ask and i'll be happy to answer! or if you want me to work on any of them cause ur more interested in that one then by all means tell me and i'll do it. i actually have more ideas in this google document but i don't think i should be starting on any more so-
