Summarizing my WIPs Badly

I was not tagged in this Tumblr game but I am going to play anyway

Gotham

Modern college AU where Jeremiah thinks he can get away with stalking an alcoholic Bruce but is sorely mistaken

1920's partners in crime AU where Bruce and Jeremiah are scaredy cats when it comes to being bank robbers and yeet themselves the fuck out of that profession at the earliest opportunity

Star Wars AU where Sith!Jeremiah is scary as shit to everyone but Mandalorian!Bruce

BlackBerry

Medieval times AU where Jim and Doug fight over Mike like there's no tomorrow

Silicon Valley

Season 6/canon divergence AU where Pied Piper still blows up but Richard finds an excuse to get the gang back together again, and everyone loops Monica in to make dinfoyle and jarrich happen

No pressure at all to do this, tagging @rinnothy @dark-nekofear @writeouswriter @nobutseriouslywhat and anybody else who wants to do this, feel free to say I tagged you if you choose to play!

Let's do a quick comparison of El's and Will's first and last scenes...

First shot of season 4:

(El painting Hopper's figurine for her diorama vs Will making a romantic painting for Mike)

Last one on one scene of season 4:

What we know of season 5:

In conclusion, once again, El's personal arc is about family more than romance and her relationship with Hopper seems to be what the writers are focusing on. Will's arc is about romantic love and his feelings for Mike. This kinda spells out how the ending of the love triangle, don't you think? Why would the writers focus on those two pairings in the last season of the show if Mike and El are supposed to be this endgame power couple? Why did Mike promise to be a team and to kill Vecna with his best friend who's secretely in love with him instead of his superhero girlfriend? Where exactly is the supposed "main couple of the show"?

Mike honey I’m sorry but I really think you’d drop him

season 3 remains my literal fav

[losversaki]

im thinking about Hopper watching his basically adopted daughter get together with the guy he can't stand and he will AGAIN watch his new adopted SON being in love and getting together with the same guy AND I LAUGH EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

if will is passed out in joyce’s arms in the teaser then this is 100% giving will passed out in hopper’s arms in season 2.

remember the duffers said season 2 will be important for season 5 so this parallel is low-key crazy. mike being protective. a possessed will is so happening in season 5. churchgate is gonna EAT

Holy shit guys I just finished my first draft of my BlackBerry fanfic (over 32,000 words!)

literally nothing is funnier to me than the idea of el telling hopper that she and mike broke up and him being like “oh. sorry kid. a great decision tbh, but sorry” and then throwing himself a little party, and then like a month later will’s like “dad meet my boyfriend” and hopper just sits down and takes several very deep breaths because mike wheeler is somehow his future son in law again what the fuck

[cheesenchalk]

i never know how to phrase it but something about the way beatles biographers and people in general view paul's reflexive placating persona and determination to smooth things over as manipulative or duplicitous and john's reflexive barbed persona and habit of lashing out as brave and subversive despite both being equally defensive mechanisms to shield themselves from the world that resulted in them saying things that weren't true says more about how we culturally view kindness or friendliness as inherently untrustworthy or flimsy and anger and carelessness as more believable as someone's true nature than it says about either of them in actuality

[palm-tree-21]

if Jim hopper doesn’t end up beating the fucking shit out of Lonnie Byers in season five, then what even is the point?

There's no question that i hate more than, "Why did they make Will gay and in love with Mike?" Okay, so why did they make Jonathan, a poor, shy, and weird boy, date Nancy, a middle-class, extroverted, pretty girl? Why did they make Lucas, a black boy, date Max, a white girl with a racist brother? Why did they make Joyce, a sensitive single mother who is always worried about her sons, date Hopper, a police chief with attachment issues and afraid to show his feelings to others? And why did they make Robin a lesbian and a friend to Steve instead of a new romantic pair for him, the popular kid? And the list goes on. I swear to God, these people watch the series with their eyes closed.
