My girlfriend is looking for a fic based on very little info she remembers, so rip us.
Okay, so this is a Nancy Wheeler/Robin Buckley enemies to friends to lovers, where Robin and Steve are working at the video store in a no-upside down Hawkins. The first scene is of Nancy coming into the store and being annoyed by Robin’s presence. Apparently there are illustration in the fic as well? One of them is of a cafe, where someone is looking outwards? Oh and I think Nancy is in a relationship with Jonathan at the start of the fic and leaves him over the phone, and goes to Robin (maybe?).
That’s really all I’ve got rip. Thanks in advance!
SHUT UP I THINK IT'S POSSIBLE MY MOM SHIPS BYLER WE JUST FINISHED ST4 I TOLD HER ABT SOME OF THE PROOF (LITTLE WOMEN INE, THE ENDING SCENE) BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY I DID AND SHE DIDN'T SEEM AGANIST THE IDEA AT ALL, SHE SAID "WE'LL SEE". I'LL ASK HER MORE ABOUT DIFFERENT RELATIONSHIPS
i'll also show her more visual parallels, and some other things like smalltown boy etc just because i want to
dont make fun of me ive waited to tell someone irl about byler since may u cant judge me for being excited ...
btw, she literally said that "i have a point" when i was analyzing mike's monologue (derogatory), the way it was framed with jonathan, argyle and will and not just mike and el like it should've been if it was genuine, el's reaction and how we saw will's reaction first etc
Mike: Will, I couldn't possibly!! You know El and I are together! Are you saying I should cheat on her? On my girlfriend?? How could you even think such a-
Something that's been bothering me is a small detail in ST4 set design, specifically Eddie's trailer.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's the only place I remember seeing prominently displayed laundry baskets full of dirty clothes, both in the Right Side Up and Upside Down versions of the trailer.
I keep thinking back to Eddie's pointed comment to Jason Carver in the very first episode of S4, about basketball being a game where you "toss balls into laundry baskets". They drove that line home even further by having Dustin repeat it back to Eddie at the cafeteria table.
It's giving me this nagging feeling that Jason and Eddie have more history than we're led to think.
Eddie said it with such bitterness and anger, loud enough that he wanted Jason to take the bait, which he did.
The latest chapters of Hellfire in ST Puzzle Tales also reinforce the fact that Eddie is very very touchy about basketball and the basketball team. He calls it "gross" and he doesn't even want to see Lucas wearing his basketball jacket. It seems oddly "personal", this chip on his shoulder about basketball and Jason.
Do they have some kind of shared history? Is it meant literally, do the laundry baskets have some kind of significance? The Upside Down version of the trailer is stuck in 1983, is it possible three years ago or more Jason used to come over there for some reason? Or is it a figurative thing?
Part of me thinks that new Eddie Munson book that's coming out will have something about Jason in it. Flight of Icarus is set in 1984, so possibly after whatever history he and Jason had. Eddie would be a senior (first time) at Hawkins High School and Jason would've been a sophomore.
rewatching st4 for the 6th time and once again the airport scene has brought me to my knees…. it’s justtttt yeah. it’s something.
and I know it’s been discussed but will’s excited hops?? and then the crusty side hug?? come onnn
also all throughout the first 2 episodes (and the whole season I guess) I love watching jonathan observe will’s behavior bc he’s known something was up since the second mike arrived in cali and probably before!! we stannn big brother jonathan
