God damn are these polls close 👁️👄👁️ I didn’t expect the middle two to get as much attention as the betrayal and vampire plot. I guess I’m really going to have to wait a bit before I can even scrap up some ideas 😭 and plan out stuff lmao

Pirate Steddie | Interactive Reading |

And I’m just going to announce it now, the pirate au won the poll! I have had a few ideas for where to start but first I’m going to give you a summary of the few plot ideas I’ve had that you guys get to chose. Whatever one has the most votes after a couple of days will be what I write. (Side not if you can please reblog and interact so that this does float around, this won’t work to well if I don’t have people interacting lmao)

Vampire Pirate Au - Eddie has been running the ship for years, accidentally steering himself and his Uncles crew in the Bermuda Triangle tragedy hits as most of their crew is taken out (whether Wayne lives or dies is up to readers) Mysteriously Eddie finds himself locked away in a small area of the ship, where no one is allowed. He’s still captain, but none of the crew has seen him in years. Due to feeding habits he likes not having more then a few crew members on ship, most quitting within days or mysteriously disappearing with the acceptation of a few who were there the fateful day they lost most of their family. What they don’t expect, is to receive two dorks, dingus and butthead who are on the run from the law.

Undercover Prince au: trying to find his best friend Robin, Steve finds himself running away from all of his responsibilities. Not a fuck given about what the king, his father; thinks. Dropping the princely act, he finds himself meeting another prince who has decided to be done with all royalty. Eddie Munson was nothing like Steve had expected, but they do find themselves tagging along and connecting with each other in search for something. Landing on a ship, sailing across the see being lead by a constantly drunk/ high captain Argyle. Steve is quick to discover that he’s not the only one keeping secrets. Hiding the fact he’s a prince from Eddie was one thing, but discovering that the man you’ve been with wasn’t really a man but in fact a fae… yeah that’ll do wonders.

Polly want a cracker au; when Eddie, captain of the sabbath receives a parrot as a gift he doesn’t realize that said parrot was in fact a man cursed to be a bird forever. He goes numerous years in bliss, until they pass through the Bermuda Triangle and said parrot shifts into a man. A pretty man, with many moles. But it doesn’t last long as he shifts back when they were out of the triangle, and now Eddie has a mission. Find whoever cursed this Steve Harrington and force them to shift him back. (There’s probably more but I’m falling asleep typing lol)

Betrayal; (inspired by nimona) When the Queen is brutally slain, a rift Is created. Between one Eddie Munson and one Steve Harrington. Childhood best friends who were on the peak of more up until Steve was accused of treason. As Eddie chases who was once was his first love; he finds that he can’t go through. Allowing years to go by instead of searching. As a lead is found, Eddie is forced to go investigate. Only to find a hollow out shell of a thief that he once knew. Steve has decided to fully commit to the whole villain arc while dragging along one Max Mayfield. A girl who can shift into whatever thing she wants, older then Steve and Eddie combined. Leaving a trail of flames behind them, they lead the most legendary pirate ship out there. While Eddie learns that the forced conformity he’s been bitching about? He’s been apart of it his entire life.

Let me know if you want to be added to a tag list! I may or may not also create a tag for this as well.

Cat's in the Cradle, part 18

Nancy and her group arrive at the hospital, and she takes it upon herself to figure out what's going on with Eddie.

(master post)

Nancy found herself speeding to the hospital, with Argyle and Lucas holding on for dear life. Dustin had been using code and double-speak when he told them what happened over the walkie, but it was clear enough to understand. Steve was hurt, but alive. Eddie was back to looking like himself, but the hospital had found him and that meant the police had, too. There was something else in the message that Lucas was still trying to decode.

“‘DM capable of wild shape’,” Lucas said again. “What is that supposed to mean? We already knew he could shapeshift.”

“Maybe it was, like, a really wild shape he took,” Argyle said. “Like, totally out there.” He held his hand out towards the dash. It looked like he was reaching for the stars, but he also might have been preparing to brace himself if Nancy hit another curb.

“That doesn’t make any sense, either,” Lucas said. “He’s only ever changed into a younger version of himself and back again. Did Dustin mean he got older? Like, did he start looking Hopper’s age?”

“Maybe he turned into an animal,” Argyle mused. “Little dude strikes me as a real cat person. Or a bat! Like, a cute little bat with big ears. Heh. Bat Eddie.”

“Will you two be quiet?” Nancy seethed. “We’re almost there.” She made the last turn into the hospital parking lot and had to slow down. It was busy, and she pulled into a spot on the opposite side of the lot from the emergency room.

"You've helped enough."

She snapped, getting up from the floor. 

Noah turned the key in the lock, slowly pushing open her apartment door; she walked under his arm like a bridge, not even bothering to look at him. Watching her cradle her wounded limb to her chest as she walked by, he hung his head shamefully.

"Sorry about that." 

He wasn't sure she had heard him as she disappeared into her tiny space to a room down the hall, muttering something to herself the entire way. Noah took notice of the mixed-matched furniture, the dark blue loveseat, the cream couch with burnt orange and dark green pillows, and a glass coffee table sitting in the center of the room on top of a worn argyle green area rug.

Scattered along her walls were pieces of eclectic art, large frames filled with a collage of smiling faces of what he presumed were friends and family; it seemed her life had been busy between trips to the beach, theme parks, nights in the clubs, at the bar, graduations and birthdays. The guilt in his chest made him incapable of looking at the pictures anymore; if she'd died on that roof, he would have been responsible for all those people missing her.

He could hear her cursing under her breath, tape ripping, and then the whimpering. He would have offered more help, but she didn't seem thrilled the first time, so he shut his mouth. Propping himself against the wall next to her kitchen, he had a perfect view down the hall and was in the ideal position to defend her front door. 

She came out of the room in a new set of clothes, struggling to put her arm through the sleeve of her khaki hoodie. 

"Oh," she sounded disappointed. Her face was pale, barely capable of keeping her eyelids open as she shuffled her way down the hall. "You're still here." 

He stood by as she entered her kitchen, searching her counters before opening the fridge. It was practically empty, but she didn't seem bothered. Jolly always kept their fridge stocked with Noah's favorite things; he was always curious when Jolly found the time.

"I need a shot," she mumbled. 

"You shouldn't drink. Your blood tastes terrible." Noah offered.

She paused. The fridge door hung open before closing it, slowly shaking her head. She opened a cabinet above her sink and pulled down a large teal plastic box. Noah stepped closer, watching her pull supplies from the old container: a few gauze pads, a wipe, some type of blue elastic, and a syringe full of a neon purple liquid.  

"What's that?" he asked.

"Something that's going to make you go away." He could hear the tears in her voice. The beast inside him whimpered. She turned around and jumped back, nearly dropping the syringe on the floor. 

"What?" he stepped back, startled by her reaction. She pinched the bridge of her nose.

"It's PTSD. PTSD and hallucinations. It's not real. Go sit down." Noah got the sense she wasn't talking to him. Grabbing the syringe and her supplies, she stepped past, avoiding him, to sit on her couch. Rolling up her sleeve, she expertly secured the elastic around her arm without even opening her eyes. Noah took a seat on the couch next to her, watching as she felt around in the crook of her arm, grabbing the syringe and lining the needle with her pulsing vein. 

"Why do you do this?" he asked.

"To survive." she sighed, letting the needle pierce her skin and drain the fluid in her veins. He felt the urge to put his head in her lap, have her stroke his hair, and find ways to comfort her. 

 Removing the needle and setting it on the table, she teetered a bit before slowly lying on her left side, pulling one of the pillows under her head.

He watched as she fell asleep with little effort, the soft snores evidently meaning she was exhausted. Noah picked up the syringe, unscrewed the needle, and brought the contraption to his nose. 

He recoiled instantly at the smell, a toxic earthy scent; this is what is making her blood taste so bad. What could she possibly need it for? 

Picking himself off the couch, he wasn't sure what to do, his feet drawn to the box still sitting on the kitchen counter; looking into her box, he saw two other syringes with that purple concoction at the bottom. A small stack of bills was folded in half in the side pocket. Was she dealing or just buying?

Turning to the sleeping beauty on the couch, she looked nothing like the photos on her walls. Sure, her hair was longer, but it was dull; she was obviously curvy, maybe voluptuous; now, as she lay on her couch, she looked like a shell of her former self. Looking at her face, he could tell it had been a while since she smiled. Deep grooves under her eyes from lack of sleep and stress make the lids heavy over her brilliant-colored eyes. As the hours passed and he watched her sleep, the drive and urge to be near her faded; he missed Jolly and wanted to go home. 

He dropped her keys on the table, locking her door on his way out. He took a leisurely stroll on his way back home. He wanted to go home, but something was driving him to go back; passing a corner vendor selling tacos, he stopped to pick up a few. Sitting at the makeshift bench, the taco truck had set out, he enjoyed his lunch, taking down the eight tacos without a breath. He was famished between the morning's distractions and a frustrated state of mind; he'd skipped breakfast.

His phone buzzed, and he pulled out the black device; its thin body barely fit in his hand as he slid open the screen to reveal his texts.

Where'd you run off to?

Jolly's text was declamatory. Noah slipped a finger through the ring of his collar. Jolly knew where he was, and he always would. Collars were equipped with the finest tracking system in the city; not even underground trams interfered with their transmission. 

Needed a walk. And food.

West 42nd seems like a long walk for food.

Noah hadn't realized how far her apartment was from home; as he turned around, he discovered he couldn't even see the skyscraper through the surrounding buildings. Shocker. 

Had to clear my head.

Oh, pet. Was I harsh?

Harsh? No, it was well deserved; Noah disobeyed the rules. Seemed fair he would be punished for it. 

No, not at all

Have you been following Rule #3?

Noah could feel the twitch in his pants, the blood rushing between his thighs, reminded of the way he'd been left this morning. Again, Jolly would know if Noah had tried. The collar tracked his vitals, offering a full report to his master every six hours.

Yes, master.

Good boy. Come home. I work late tonight, but I will take care of you.

Noah never got up and tossed away his trash so fast. 

Jolly straightened up in his office chair, resting his elbows on the clutter surrounding his desk. It was late. Noah had left on duty hours ago, and their home was quiet. Noah was constantly pacing the house, blasting his music, and maybe even watching TV in two rooms simultaneously. Jolly would often sleep when he was out on duty, but he'd been hard at work tonight. His vision blurred; when he closed his eyes and rubbed the corners, he could still see the spreadsheets of costs, budget, inventory, and plans for the lab experiments all over his desktop screen. 

He was sick of working the numbers for the fourth time today. Something wasn't adding up; it hadn't been for two months now; it was minuscule at best, a few hundred here, a few hundred there. But without getting to the root of the problem, it continued to grow, and soon, they would be overrun in debt if it didn't get managed. Against his better judgment, he'd used money from his own account to balance out the difference, hoping it wouldn't bite him in the ass later. 

A new window popped up on his screen, a red dot pulsing on a grid he recognized as the city. 

Noah.

He opened the new screen, seeing the subtle alert that Noah had left his post. He'd crossed over to the next block and was still going; Jolly clicked open the tab holding the city's main alerts, observing the bank security; no breach. Jolly clicked into Noah's tracker, reviewing his vitals in real-time. He could see his heart rate increasing and his oxygen steady, with no log of wounds. 

"Where are you going?" he whispered to himself. 

When the red dot stopped at the corner, Jolly pulled up his phone, dialing Jethro's number. Two rings and the security man answered. 

"Get me all the angles for 24th and Woodman." Jolly barked, and a few loud tappings on the other end of the line came through the receiver as Jethro worked his magic. 

"Sharing." 

One large image cut into a grid of four different angles popped up on Jolly's screen. He threw his phone on the desk, lacing his fingers together to rest under his chin as he watched. 

She was climbing into a horticulture shop, disappearing behind their chain link fence. And there was Noah at the corner. Patiently sitting on his haunches, his head tilted as he watched her. Jolly punched in a few codes, just a few things that Jethro had taught him. He wasn't a tech man but a quick learner when he needed something and didn't want to bother anyone. 

The codes rewound the security footage, zooming in on the girl climbing the fence. Long dark red waves tied back into a ponytail, dark jeans, and a hoodie with a backpack hanging off her shoulders. He watched as she winced each time she used her right arm to scale the fence, rubbing her shoulder as she jumped to the ground again. 

"Well, aren't you a pretty one?" Jolly hummed to himself. 

He let the footage play out, maybe twenty-five minutes before she was back, scaling the fence again to leap down onto the sidewalk as before. 

She lost her footing, falling back onto her ass. Off his haunches in an instant, Noah closed the distance between them; she panicked, scotting herself back till she was caged in by the fence she'd just climbed. Jolly watched as Noah approached her, his head hung low, ears up; when she scrambled again, he lowered onto his front paws, bowing in front of her as he scooted closer. 

She remained still, watching Noah with intense eyes. He was close enough that if he lashed out a paw, he'd scratch her face. Instead, he dropped his head into her lap. They stayed still for several minutes, Noah's tail slowly swishing from side to side. Jolly watched as her hand reached up, hesitating over his head. 

"That's it, pretty one. He likes his ears scratched."

She obviously didn't hear him, her hand slowly lowering onto his pet's head anyway, touching Noah's ears, giving them a tentative scratch. Jolly watched Noah's vitals, his heart rate lowering and his breathing steady. His tail wagged as he leaned into her touch. 

Suddenly, Noah was on his feet, turning to look behind him. Another hunter had come around the corner; Jolly's monitors showed Noah's heart rate skyrocket and his adrenaline surge. 

Noah followed his fellow hunter as they scurried back to their posts, turning once to look over his shoulder before darting off. Jolly's eyes remained fixed on the girl still sitting on the ground, zooming in on her face. 

"What a mystery you are, sunshine." 

[sadbigemini]

Like I said in a recent post I have been reading lots of humans are deathworlders, humans are space orcs, and humans are space Australians but for MHA. However, I had an idea for Stranger Things!

The Party and Co. (mostly) Are Human Space Orcs

PLEASE look at my other post that's similar to this that has some tips and reminders for writing fics like this!!! ↓↓↓

Maybe not deathworlders or maybe Eleven and those from the upside down are also from a deathworld?

Yes, Eleven, the other numbered children, and those of the upside down are the aliens!

Eleven was abducted by humans– how the turn tables– Why does One/Vecna hate her tho???

This also means Will was abducted by aliens.

Anyway, Steve Harrington is so perfect for this trope or whatever– he is the ultimate choice imo lmao

The government I feel would be exactly how it is in the show.

Eleven could look like a human or be a shapeshifter. Idk I think people would be more likely to help her if she looked or appeared human.

Eddie can join earlier on (Robin too) and I feel like he would so be a conspiracy theorist and so would Dustin.

Omg the Russians– it'd be like the space race!

I don't have anything else rn but if I do I will put it after this lol

What if the upside down aliens did experimentation on Eddie (kinda like Will but not really) and brings him back to life???

Imagine them ever going to space, they would traumatize so many aliens lmao

Omg Argyle would have always believed aliens are real and he's really bummed that this is the kind of experience (close encounter lol) he has with them.

Joyce would be fucking up the aliens just as much as Steve. The moms are killing it, slay those aliens lmao

Maybe the government not only was trying to like make the numbered children into super soldiers but like indoctrinating them to act like humans, abide by human customs only, believe in what they do, etc (just generally horrible things)

What Does One Say In A Situation Like This?

So, I was going through the “Papa” script, and I noticed something- look at the description of the scene here:

“DEAD, BLOODED CORPSES scattered like discard trash.”

Doesn’t that scene sound a little familiar? Multiple bloody corpses scattered around haphazardly like trash? Oh wait:

And then look at the use of the word “one” in the next line of the script:

“I mean, what does one say in a situation like this other than:

Oh shit.”

Listing a situation that’s happened to 001/that we we saw (multiple bloody discarded corpses) and then using the word “one” to describe the person reacting to that scene & the reaction being “oh shit,” IMO, is delivering the subtext that One’s initial reaction to the massacre was “oh shit.”

But if One was killing intentionally/committed the massacre intentionally and knowingly, then why would his reaction be “oh shit”?

Well, considering what James and I talked about in this post regarding Henward’s weird eyes and ‘eldritch thrumming” during the massacre, and what James talked about in this post regarding how there’s evidence of a creature attack at HNL during the 1979 massacre, AND what I talked about in this post regarding the parallels between the S3 hospital fight vs the S4 1979 massacre scenes, AND all of the other 16273848 posts about the weirdness with the 1979 massacre, I don’t think that it’s set in stone that One was committing the massacre intentionally. Whether Henry or Edward or both, I think there’s still lots of room for other things to have happened, such as MKultra mind control, Brenner and shadow particle possession/weirdness, weird shapeshifting shit, a creature/demogorgon attack, Henward being on some serious lab drugs/Brenner’s special LSD and/or some combination of all of those and/or something else entirely.

My point is, even if we don’t know exactly what happened yet, there’s still a LONG list of options beyond “Henward committed the massacre willingly and intentionally.”

I really do think that Brenner’s behind more than it seems initially when it comes to the massacre. Especially with Henward talking about Brenner pushing people like 002 around like chess pieces to try and get them to kill.

And also, when we go and watch the actual scene in the show & see what Argyle says:

So, that “oh shit,” line from Argyle seems to have been cut out from the final version/seems ro have not made it into the show.

However, it’s still interesting to see this sort of subtext and use of “one” being in the script, especially because even though it’s not in the show, that line/the idea if One’s reaction to the massacre being “oh shit,” still aligns with a TON of other things in the show, such as the posts I listed earlier and all of the other weirdness during the massacre.

So even though I take scripts with a grain of salt because the show itself is the main piece of media being analyzed here/is the final product, this piece of the script simply reinforces what we’re already being shown in the show- that there’s more to the 1979 massacre than what we’re being told on the surface.

Hello! Its oc ask anon. I come to deliver some questions about your cool guys :-)

1. What is Alice’s favorite fruit?

2. What is a special memory that Alice and Rei have between eachother?

3. If Q could have a super power, what would it be?

4. Does Track have a favorite clothing pattern?

5. What is one game that Q enjoys?

6. What is Alice’s opinion on league of legends 😎

Hello again!! I’m here to answer!!

1. Peaches!

2. Not a singular memory, but a very memorable and pivotal time in both of their lives was the summer Alice stayed at Rei’s house for 3 months straight. Rei’s parents were abroad for work and Alice’s mom didn’t pay enough attention to notice if he was missing so it ended up working out smoothly without too many issues. This is also the summer that they properly confessed to each other

3. She would choose some sort of shapeshifting power that would allow her to completely alter her physical appearance

4. I’m not sure….if anything, he prefers clothing without patterns so I’m conflicted. I think it would have to be an argyle pattern on a vest or a cardigan

5. As a kid, Q was very into online dressup games, but I’d say that these days she doesn’t play many video games….I can envision her playing like, sudoku or candy crush on the train or the bus or something though

6. At first I was like “I don’t think Alice is very intro video games either”, but it’s actually really funny to picture him playing league, so just for you I’ll say that he’s played it before for a promotional campaign or on stream or something and enjoyed it despite not being an avid gamer . He was mediocre/pretty decent at it, not bad at it but not really good either

[thatgirlwithasquid]

I’m just gonna go through and give my gut reaction to what I think they could have, cause I think that’d be fun lol

Steve: Water-based powers. I’m thinking like growing gills underwater or something

Eddie: Ability to slow time

Robin: Enhanced memory. Helps her with learning all those languages

Nancy: Shockwaves - through air/water/earth

Billy: I will never not love pyrokenetic Billy ❤️‍🔥

Mike: …idk actually. is it mean if i make him the one Normal Guy. i just think thatd be funny

Will: telekenesis like El. I think it’d be neat if they matched :)

Jonathan: emotion-related telepathy

Argyle: some sort of plant-based power. maybe almost like communication, except plants dont talk like people so its not really something that can be described. Or super strength because big cuddly super strong argyle would be everything to me <3

Lucas: something sound-based, like maybe he can amplify or diminish the sounds around him? either as a wide-scale thing or a person-to-person basis

Dustin: heightened reflexes (not always for the best though. sorry lucas but you may be hairsprayed to the face again)

Erica: shapeshifting. we should all be scared i think. she will use these powers for evil (free icecream and tormenting lucas)

Max: enhanced hearing (do i just want her to kinda match lucas? …yes ☺️)

Hopper: he definitely has super strength

Joyce: electricity manipulation

Wayne: invisibility

not included on the list but i wanna include them so eh…

Chrissy: light manipulation

Heather: shadow manipulation (for sun/moon cunningway reasons ^-^)

Jason: mind control

Carol: also shapeshifting. for all that we hold dear do NOT let her and erica team up

Tommy: no powers and salty about it or just purely oblivious

Here’s a question:

The following people

Steve

Eddie

Robin

Nancy

Billy

Mike

Will

Johnathan

Argyle

Lucas

Dustin

Erica

Eleven

Max

Hopper

Joyce

Wayne

What superpowers would they have. Like Elevens telekinesis(?). It can be anything from the usual like super strength to unusual like elemental manipulation or even something weirder. Give me all your ideas

[hazardworld]

A response to @feministfandomgeek ‘s comment; the response was too long to be a reply :)

This is a part of my Monster Town series. Part one can be found here

Most monsters can be categorized in one of these three categories:

Humanoids

Humanoids look identical or nearly identical to humans. Any powers they have maintain their form.

Robin- Ghost; when she “goes ghost” her general shapes stay the same, even though she’s invisible and can go through surfaces

Will/Johnathan- Banshees; when they scream, their scleras turn black and their irises turn yellow. Otherwise, they look the same

Glamorists

Glamorists have a generally humanoid shape, but with noticeably inhuman features. Because of this, they have to wear glamours (think TOH galderstones) to cover up. Glamour charms usually last up to 1-2 years, which means they must find a local witch to renew it (The more specialized to them though, the better) before it fizzles out.

Eddie- Witch; pointed ears, fangs (top and bottom), purple slightly-glowing eyes (color varies per witch, and is the color of their magic)

Max- Dryad; moth wing-like ears, blunt fangs, clear “blood” (sap), (if one looks close) bark-textured skin

Lucas/Erica- Vampires; pointed ears, dark claw-like nails, double sets of fangs (top only) crimson glowing eyes (color varies vamp to vamp)

El- Angel; large white feathered wings, halo light she can summon at will

Shifters

Shifters usually have two forms (but can have more) and can generally shift at will anywhere between any of those (depending on species-specific restrictions). Their monster form is considered their “natural form,” as if their human form is like a physical glamour.

If shifters spend too long completely in human form, they’ll spontaneously shift back to natural form, as well as other species-specific side effects. In order to stop this, many shifters will “half shift” to a humanoid form with monstrous features.

Steve; Siren- his parents coaxed him into a masochistic habit of “binding” his form to the point where he’s used to and doesn’t realize he’s unhealthy

Dustin; Werewolf- his mom formally taught him how to form shift, but Steve got him more comfortable with it and taught him half-shifting

Argyle; Shapeshifter- his human form is his natural form, with his second form being “the unknown”

Nancy and Mike are humans descended from Valkyries. Because of this, they have extra insight and can physically comprehend magic like monsters. Nancy is also really good at persuading people to tell the truth.

Because Hawkins is a monster town, Glamorists don’t need to wear glamours, and depending on their natural forms, Shifters can half shift or go fully natural without weird looks or persecution.

made a reference for my sona

[adhd-winterfalcon]

fuck it, pjo stranger things au pt 1

- joyce and jonathan are mortals who can see through the mist, late descendants of demigods but with no powers. will is a son of hades and can control the dead / manipulate shadows

- el is a child of zeus that was kidnapped by mortals and experimented on as a child. when a monster gets in (she’s around 12) she escapes by destroying the monster & lab with a massive storm

- max is a child of ares (telumkinesis), dustin is a child of hephaestus (technokinesis), lucas is a child of apollo (expert marksman) and mike is a child of aphrodite (minor shapeshifting)

- nancy is a daughter of athena, robin is a child of hermes, steve is a son of aphrodite (charm-speak) and eddie is a child of apollo (audiokinesis, talented musician)

- eddie can curse people to speak in rhymes and absolutely abuses this power

- robin steals stuff from ppl just to fuck with them, but always gives their stuff back (well... almost always)

- steve’s eye color changes depending on his mood (subconsciously)

- eddie is an expert healer but a terrible marksman, lucas always makes fun of him for it

- max and dustin become good friends and end up making a lot of weapons/armor together (they’re kinda terrifying)

- will and el immediately bond (both being children of the big three) and train their powers together

- hopper is chiron, murray is Mr D and joyce is essentially the sally jackson to will’s percy (yes this means lonnie is gabe good riddance)

- argyle is a satyr that stays with joyce and jonathan for protection

- mike and steve are the kind of siblings that pretend to hate each other but would actually kill someone for each other

(mike and nancy are not siblings, only jonathan and will are)

- steve and robin have been at camp the longest. satyrs found both of them without much trouble, and since they were both in bad homes they were sent to camp year round.

- steve’s father was horrible to him and because of that steve accidentally manipulated his classmates to, for lack of a better word, worship him (hence king steve). when he realizes what he did he’s pretty horrified and runs away, (literally) charming his way to new york and that’s where he’s found by a satyr. he’s 16 when he gets to camp

- robins mom died when she was around 7. she’d been through foster homes around the states for years until she meets a satyr when she runs away from a foster home in connecticut and they take her to camp (she’s 15)

- eddie is next to arrive. he had been living with his uncle wayne but didn’t want to burden him any longer and meets a satyr on the first bus out of town. the satyr gives him directions and sends him on his way (since he’s the child of a minor god he’s safer). he’s 17 when he arrives at camp, a year after steve and robin

also just think abt billy as luke castellan

[kaypeace21]

S4 part 2 predictions

Lol I don't feel super confident one way or another but... who Cares . This is for fun XD. Also Will mention some movies said to inspire s4.

- el probably does everything in her power to save her friends. Especially max who is still cursed and vecna's target. El may look through max's happy memories to save her- since a happy memory of el's defeated henry/vecna in the past. Vecna probably follows them through the dream scape and corrupts the memories . I know some leaks said max goes into a coma? Which is still possible-I guess. But I think it would make more sense for it to be el (for a myriad of reasons- post explaining the reasons/foreshadowing here). But the most obvious reason is henry (and 9 in the comics) when they pushed their powers too far- both fell into comas. And the fact rolling an 11 (in ep 1) doesn't defeat vecna is also foreboding. She'll probably push her powers too far trying to save her friends, close the mini gates, etc ... but by s5 she'll recover . I also believe given el's powers she'll be able to more easily infiltrate vecna's mind (aka the scene of el at the creel house in the part 2 teaser).regardless of what happens, the only real way to defeat vecna is through El AND teamwork of her friends. She can't do it alone.

- hawkins is probably destroyed or partially destroyed due to : vecna, hawkins angry mob (caused by jason), and or sullivan's troops.

- I posted this theory before part 1- and part 1 just made me more worried it's true. I'm worried joyce and co are stranded/stuck in the soviet union at the end of s4. Joyce threatening yuri that "we're in the middle of nowhere. No one for miles". Still applies to joyce and co too . Not to mention they repeat multiple times (like literally 5 times) that the soviet union wants to capture joyce after she sabotaged their usa operation (even paying others to capture her) . Also...because some s4 movies have the shitty dead beat dad get custody - I just start thinking a cliffhanger could be lonnie getting custody of Will. Like tokyodrift was inspo for s4: dead beat dad who is into cars, g*ns, and who hasn't seen his son in many years gets custody when he's a teenager. Yikes.

- I don't necessarily think Will will be stuck in the ud by the end of s4 even though i previously made a theory post about it (but I get it's still a decent possibility) . I still think it may be more likely he's stuck with the human monster lonnie (and his support system of family and friends is gone inbetween the time jump of s4 and 5). Because alot of the inspo films had the ab*sive parent isolate the kid on purpose. 😞

- it would be interesting for Will, jonathan, and mike to see hallucinations caused by vecna- that reveal more about their character's inner psyches (and the byers' pasts). The s4 movies kind of imply it-talked about that,and the possibilities, in detail here . And I mean- jonathan talks about his fear of becoming his dad, and argyle calls it a " nightmare cycle". And we have a nightmare monster (who has a habit of shapeshifting into teenager's family members- to mess with them ). Wasted opportunity for jonathan if nothing happens there. But who knows we may have to wait till s5. Since duffers said 'the ud being stuck on the day Will disappeared'- won't be adressed until s5. So we may have to wait till s5 for that + maybe the same for Will's (possible pyrokinetic?) powers too? But who knows maybe we'll see something in s4.A part of me still hopes Will lights vecna on fire lol- maybe while vecna is shapeshifting as lonnie . Literally only say this cause 3 movies (that are inspo for s4) incorporate someone in a dream world lighting on fire a dream version of their ab*sive parent. And will the wise has fire powers. Plus the fact- henry/vecna says a "cure" for him isn't possible. And el/Will are associated with "the cure": Will's "the cure" poster/ El being called "the cure". Plus all of their luke/leia twin parallels. And Will saying to El "we'll fix it together "- hopefully means something. Superpowered twins- please.

- at the very least Will's psychic connection with the ud will be mentioned again in s4. And be useful. Dustin in s4 "maybe the answer we're looking for is in this vague drawing. God we need Wiill." Max: "yeah, no shit" .

- high key mostly wishful thinking. But i also hope kali returns in s4 or s5 . Narratively would make sense. There's def some s4 foreshadowing that makes me think she may come back eventually. But we'll see.

- I talked about a lot of possible deaths , linked below in last bullet point. But low key think yuri prerending to be someonelse, and lying and saying a bear clawed at "yuri's heart " . May be a hint of how he's probably k*lled later by the demogorgan. Murray later to yuri : "bears... who knew you could see your own future ". Fyi in s1 and 2 the demogorgan was compared to a bear.

- eddie has a 50/50 chance of making it. Either he dies or (possibly?)ends up in jail as part of the bleek cliffhangers . Like , we had dustin in s3 mention a "patsy" (someone innocent to blame for crimes) . And we also had a s4 scene where a guy mentions "jail" and the " justice system being a joke"- then it pans to eddie. And I suppose it would go with the prison storylines this season (El/hopper's storylines).Also one s4 documentary film "paradise lost" - had a goth guy similar to Eddie arrested for m*rders he didn't commit (the small town blamed him due the satanic panic - they cited him wearing black, and liking: rock music, stephen king, horror books/movies, paganism ,etc as evidence of his crimes - I wish I was joking ).

- hopefully m*leven finally breakup- amicably. I don't think byler is officially dating by s4 ... but some romantic feelings will probably be heavily implied . Curious about Will's painting- hopefully it's a callback to the first time they met on the swings. Sigh ... if I have to wait till s5 to have confirmed reciprocated byler. Fine. But if this love triangle can end ... please let it be sooner rather than later. I'm so tired XD

- I feel like vecna may not have to curse all of the crew to cause illusions for them (similar to when he was little): so we may see him affect various characters this way, without full on cursing them? Pretty sure lucas hitting Jason is an illusion. But yeah given how jason's crew feels like Lucas is a "traitor" - they Def will come for him along with rest of hellfire. But I think lucas makes it out safe by the end of s4.

- so yeah s4 will probably end with some bleek cliffhangers. Joyce and co maybe are stranded in the soviet union at the end of s4. There may be multiple deaths (post about all the other possible deaths and why- here). Hawkins ,their home town, may be wrecked. El may be in a coma and ...taken into gov custody ? Will may be taken (away from his brother and friends), because Lonnie got custody? If eddie actually makes it out alive (50/50 on that) he may be taken into police custody . Honestly even if I'm totally wrong - I just don't expect a happy ending... that's reserved for s5.

Tidbits for the Secret Monsters au

To summarize:

Steve is a werewolf.

Nancy is a Banshee.

Robin is a siren.

Eddie is their token human.

Will and Johnathan are half-fae.

Mike is a banshee.

Dustin is a were-bear.

Lukas is a shapeshifter of some kind.

Eleven is a fae.

Hopper is a cyclops.

At first Joyce thinks Will’s disappearance might be fae-related but can’t exactly talk about it to anyone b/c even her sons don’t know about the magical world.

Nancy and Mike know vaguely when someone nearby is going to die. It was horrible when Barb, Chrissy, etc. died because they could feel it.

Dustin took care of Dart without caution thinking it was more of a normal monster rather than an Upside Down monster.

The whole love triangle bs with Steve, Nancy, and Johnathan has even higher tension than in canon because Steve’s territorial instincts are kicking in and Johnathan has a subconscious possessiveness from his fae side.  

I want to have Argyle be a indigenous mythical creature but I’m not indigenous so I don’t want to just randomly pick something.

All of the experiment kids were fae to some degree. Henry/Vecna/One is full blooded.

Hopper is very protective of his one eye after hearing nothing but negative things towards cyclopses in myths.

After everything is revealed:

Steve and Dustin go running around in the woods on the full moon. Eddie is jealous.

Eddie spends hours bugging everyone about the reality of certain myths. Steve gets it the worst because as a werewolf, he’s the most commonly talked about monster.

He definitely stays ten feet away from the Blyers after learning about their heritage because he’s written too many campaigns with tricky fae.

More than once, a kid asks Eddie something about being a “normal” human, offending him greatly.

So I have this hc that Argyle does experiments on the mushrooms we see him find at the end of season 4. He figures out a way to stop the upside down but due to being exposed to the toxic mushrooms he becomes possessed by a monster that attacks its victims through the spores.

He had no idea that the mushrooms were toxic since he had never read about them before. The monster that takes over his body and has the ability to make him shape shift and crave the flesh of humans. Argyle is happy that he was able to help the town but now is infected by this unknown shapeshifting monster who tries to make Argyle rip Jonathan into peices and feed on his flesh. No matter how hungry Argyle is he wont eat anyone especially not Jonathan.

I’ve been thinking…… AU where reader is a witch and Eddie is their shapeshifter familiar 👁️👁️.

I also think it would be kinda fun if Jonathan is the familiar because he looks like a cat to me. Argyle is still his bestie ofc, he comes to deliver herbs to you and he sees Jon and he’s like “who’s this little guy?” And you’re like “Oh that’s Jonathan” and Argyles like “that’s a funny name for a cat.” And the next time Argyle comes to drop off herbs to you when Jon isn’t shifted into a cat he’s like “where’s Jonathan???” And you’re like “He’s right there” and you point to a fully grown man and Argyle is like “????? That’s a guy tho”

Idk I think it’ll be something cute, if u have any thots please feel free to share! Shapeshifter Steve might even be fun too!
