WHAT HAPPENED :(

[sapchats]

It's okay let me be a hater with you

Like, dude this whole situation was so bad it made me question my own experience and wonder if I was actually assulted last year and we already know how much I love denial and I was actually getting somewhere

Like, caiti caused that. It doesn't matter that she meant for it to be an empowering moment, what she actually did was water down a very serious event and twitter let her run with it. She caused the sort of exodus that Amanda would be proud of and continued to help ruin our community

Like I'm genuinely sorry that she felt the way she did, there were things on quite frankly everyone's ends, that should've happened to stop most of that experience

But that doesn't erase her actions and the pain she's caused

It doesn't erase cc's abandoning their morals and cosplaying as righteous voices in a messy situation

Catlyn is the worst of them all because if you've experienced this shit then why the fuck are you championing this situation in way that at all resembles how you did wilbur

How can you say you want to be the voice of women when fucking sexual assault survivors are saying that this is an insult to them and then turning around and being buddy buddy with someone who's allegations are very distressing

Punz made a mockery of himself to shift the spotlight off of his actions and you're letting him get away with it. Especially if the rumours are true that you're back with him

Anyone who'd friends with the guy who SA'd me I'm wary of and I prefer not to talk to them (there is one exception but it's complicated)

And yet you're not speaking up about him. Right because a hand on a waist is clearly a much more pressing issue then someone being so drunk they don't remember anything and therefore consent can't actually be obtained my bad ill keep that in mind for next time 🙄

Sorry for how long this was 😭

-"domi"

i agree with all of this so much

i can’t believe wayv performed at a venue w 17,000 capacity n it was sold out like what do u mean weishenville doesn’t just consist of me n my 10 oomfies on tumblr.com 😭

[stunie]

IS THAT ME

[wayward-sherlock]

hey wayli!!! congrats on getting into your dream school you deserve it 🤍 i was just wondering, ik you said close to me updates would be delayed until january so i was just wondering, do you have a rough estimate on when they’ll start up again ? definitely no rush or anything, i js love the story and was wondering 🫶🏽

hi there! thank you so much hehe 💗

i’m actually going to use this ask as a platform to make an announcement: the close to me update schedule is basically going to be ignored for the remainder of the fic. both kaia and i are ridiculously busy this second semester, and updating the fic and art every two weeks is just too much for us right now. im also experiencing a little bit of writer’s block re: ctm, so im not far enough ahead on the chapters to be comfortable posting again just yet 💔

this DOES NOT mean that we are abandoning ctm; we both still love it and the universe that we’ve created! it’s just going to take a little bit longer to finish than we anticipated 💗 thank you (and everyone else) for being patient up until we felt comfortable making this announcement, and we hope to see you all on ao3 again soon!!

[sanjisblackasswife]

I’m literally having such a bad week, Im overthinking of nobody actually telling their feelings towards me because of how insecure I am, and my allergies just keeps killing me more and more, and I have no one to sit with at lunch, I’m so stressed.

Hope you have a good day, maybe better then mine.

:( baby….

that overthinking part is so real bro, im sorry ur wek havent been going any better . i do pray this weekend/next week is even better for u okay?

try to rest as much as u can and dont worry about being alone at lunch🤚🏾 i used to too until i found my favorite teacher n would just eat in her classroom 😭 it was chill af.

wait wait wait wait. i gotta know more of what nancy’s side of the rockstar au relationship is like. how does she react to all the sudden attention? do people start accusing her of being a homewrecker and getting in between steve and robin?? is she treated differently at work?? anything u can think of i’ll take

hi hi hi! okay. this post might be a little long cause i've got a lot to say.. i kinda want to analyze miss wheeler for ya, if that's alright?

so, to start, a few things about rockstar rob!au nancy:

she's a rookie journalist working at the hawkins post's entertainment department;

hates her job cause she shares it w like a bunch of old dudes that have Zero respect for her (and also because she set her dreams of leaving hawkins back because of some family problems, and being at the post just reminds her of everything she couldn't accomplish);

took the job cause she wanted to make things right and make sure the article about robin didn't have a misogynistic view nor was filled with lies (that she knew, for a fact, the post would try to go for, cause their only source of income for the entertainment department is making up stories about the Two people that left hawkins and got famous aka steve and robin)

ok! with that set, let's get to ronance.

because of the tour and how close she got to robin, even before their relationship was official, nancy experienced her fair share of paparazzi and celebrity drama from the side. having their journey from the concert venue back to the tour bus delayed because the security guards had to deal with the amount of cameras waiting for robin outside, reading through a bunch of articles (the good ones and the bad ones – comments harassing robin and talking about their looks, their voice, their "relationship" with steve) and talking about the public attention with robin during their sessions. robin would mention some of her biggest struggles, and how part of the public invalidated their sexuality, identity and overall being.

and knowing that being involved with someone famous requires having your name talked about, even for a little bit, and being somewhat of a "public" person, nancy (and robin) knew they had every reason and right to try and be secretive for a while. at least until nancy felt comfortable with the idea of being a couple in public – since it's like coming out to the entire world, and having the entire world acknowledge who and what you are in a way people that aren't public don't have to experience.

so, as long as they're a secret, nancy thinks she can live her life. they kiss behind closed doors and pretend to be acquaintances, friends on the outside. only the tour production and a few close friends know about them; they don't hide their affection as long as it's not visible to the public eye. they almost got caught a few times, even, and every single time makes nancy's heart jump, fear crippling down her spine and leaving goosebumps behind. as much as the adrenaline of having to hide is enticing to them for a while, the whole thing also leaves them exhausted and frustrated with everything they wish they could do.

it takes a while for nancy to fight her demons and face her fears, but, after the tour ended and they had to go long distance for a few months, and seeing how she couldn't handle being away from robin, they decide to move in together, right? and they know they should come out as a couple if that's gonna happen cause there's no way in hell they'd sustain the secret relationship thing.

since she works for the post and they're the number one source of robin-related gossip for the entire country, nancy knows she would never have peace to date publicly as long as she's working in hell, so the whole moving in with robin is a perfect excuse to leave her job and apply for bigger newspapers in new york city. the article about robin was a big success, and lots of companies were more than interested in having her in their crew, so it wasn't hard to land a job. so, as soon as she moves, they come out as a couple, and, well, have to adapt to a few changes.

some things are the way she expected they'd be. lots of cameras, a constant feeling they're being observed, having to answer and avoid questions, everything. nancy was dating someone public, but she didn't want to become a celebrity or anything, so she had a few rules and boundaries she didn't wanna cross and robin respected that. she made a private twitter and instagram accounts as her public ones got a boom of followers with their announcement. she didn't post much on them, just the occasional pictures with robin whenever she felt like it and lots of work stuff, and nothing can get her used to the fact in ten minutes she gets more than five thousand likes on whatever she posts— and fifty thousand as soon as it involves robin.

she did become the target of some harassment, but she tries to ignore it the best way she can. robin is very supportive, and they teach her how to filter comments on posts and not get notifications for the things she didn't want to see. nancy still read some in secret, though, no matter how gut-wrenching it is; people really did call her a homewrecker for shattering their fantasies of stobin being real, or invalidated her own sexuality and her love for robin. they tried to paint her as someone who was only in for the money and fame, like she only got her job and was where she was because she was using robin as a ladder for success.

they both knew it wasn't true, but, yeah, it hurts nonetheless.

meanwhile, her new job is fairly respectful of her relationship. nancy's coworkers don't ask a lot of questions about robin, just the occasional one or two people asking if they can get autographs or if robin is joining her in office parties. they also don't use nancy as a way to get to robin, or steve, or any other celebrity they know; and nancy appreciates the way it makes her feel like she's there for her own merit, and not to be used as a pawn to get to celebrities.

but, of course, she gets the occasional calls and e-mails from the hawkins post asking if she can do them a favour and give them exclusives. interviews, earlier announcements, or actually anything nancy would be willing to spill in exchange for money. she blocks every single one of them whenever they try to reach out.

adjusting is hard, at first, but robin is always there and she's so, so thankful for it. they talk about life a lot and robin always wants to reassure she can set as many boundaries as she wants to. they don't hide how they feel from each other; robin offers to find her a therapist that has dealt with this before if she wants to, just so she can have someone other than rob themself to talk to. she tells nancy she can archive all of the posts involving her if she feels like it. always checks in to be sure it's okay to post this, or that, or if it's fine to mention her in an interview and tell certain stories if she's not bothered by it.

nancy is fully aware that being with robin comes as a challenge, but in the end, it's all worth it. there's no one else she'd rather be with :)

🫳💌📭

noah pimplepogue how dare u send this 2 me now i have to write an entire book about how much i love you. smh. (jk i was hoping u would send something so i could be your #1 biggest fan)

noah. noah noah noah NOAH where do i even begin. i think like. people like you are the type that you only come across a few times in a lifetime. someone so welcoming and fun and a living ray of sunshine that it's like. once you meet them you wonder what the fuck you were even doing without them. i have said this before but i am saying it again because it still rings true - i adore the way you carry yourself. you are so unique and just so you, and it's honestly incredible how u do it. it's like. you have these beautiful traits that can only be attached to you. not many people can say that, but again, you are one in a million. you are so fun to talk to, and sometimes i will think, like. what if we hadn't started talking. what would i have done?? you bring the biggest smile to my face with like. EVERYTHING you talk about. you could talk about how hot dogs are made in gruesome detail and i would probably sit there listening while giggling and kicking my feet and it would be the highlight of my day. you have brought me to tears of laughter multiple times, because you're so incredibly funny. also, can we talk about your art for a sec? because. dude. brochacho. you are an INCREDIBLE artist. i love the colors you use and i adore your style to bits. again, it is something so distinct to you - like. it's you. that is YOUR art. i can't describe it in any other way but it makes me so happy when i see it. everything u do is so you. and i love that. i think your existence has made life on earth about 10 times better. you are a wonderful person and i am so, so, SO honored to call u my friend and mutual. bites you like a chew toy. nuzzles you like a cat

mutuals send me a 💌 and i'll tell you something i love about you
