second to last song on this album babyyy we're gonna finish it!
many thanks to @bienmoreau for the album art; i think i forgot to thank you last time, sorry! check out @greenlikethesea's most recent entry in this series if you wanna get your heart broken but this is tumblr so y'know, probably you do.
"Will the Wise" is the first track off Eddie's third album in @greatunironic's seminal steddie fic the most remarkable thing. i thought that was a fascinating choice of an opener. will of course becomes a professional writer in the most remarkable thing 'verse, so even beyond the experience of having been queer in hawkins, he and eddie would have a fair amount to bond over once they started talking.
this is meant to be a song where eddie really stretches his songwriting muscles and tries to force himself to write about something, anything other than steve, BUT i do feel compelled to add that i think eddie is really impressed that will at least tried to confess romantic feelings for mike, because eddie still finds the prospect of doing the same with steve entirely unimaginable. i think will would probably not describe himself as brave, but that eddie very much sees him that way. also, surviving everything will's survived is arguably metal as hell.
this is a song about queer friendships and creative friendships and, metatextually, about so admiring a friend for something they do (transmute painful emotions into making something) that you kind of miss that you are doing the same thing! also a lot of things rhyme with "wise" so of course that helped.
Take a moment take a breath a vict'ry lap: yeah not dead yet 'cause we are out here cheating death til it comes to collect
make a promise make a start make it past your hungry heart sing, muse of a kid so smart he sees you as you are
Will the wise knows my disguise he's walked the road I stumble down a fort, a heavy crown a pen becomes his saber
Will the wise can recognize they've called him every shitty name but he fought past the shame the colors on the paper…
rolling onward roll the die roll with it yeah, low or high square it up, or at least try even if you just scrape by
Will the wise with ageless eyes he tells me he's not sleeping he's seen the nightmares creeping the shapes stole out of vapor
Will the wise can alchemize pain straight into paint, and when my hope is fading, the colors on the paper the colors on the paper the colors on the paper...
#the most remarkable thing#the most remarkable thing fansongs#stranger things for ts#will byers#yes this one references both the odyssey and monty python#the duality of man

I would like to know about stoncy parents 👀
So this is going to be a direct follow up to a piece I did for Stoncy week this summer! Up All Night! This particular installment is about juggling their new relationship, the baby, and now Steve's parents getting added to the mix!
I'm happy to share a snippet of what I have so far!
“Are you two going to be joining us for dinner?” Jonathan asked after the travel talk finally ceased. “I’m not sure—” “Jon, you don’t have to—” Steve and his father began in tandem. “What a lovely idea,” Maggie said, shooting both Steve and Robert disapproving looks. “We’d love to catch up more with Steve and learn more about this… arrangement.” Jonathan’s face paled a bit as he gave Steve a nervous glance. “I hope you’re okay with spaghetti. I’m making a sauce—I could see if we have enough ingredients for lasagna or—” “Spaghetti is fine, Jon…athan. Thanks,” Steve said, answering for his parents. He was not about to make Jonathan go to all that trouble for his parents who had invited themselves over to the house in the first place. “But… maybe we should call Nance… to see if she has a preference.” Oh no. He shouldn’t have said that. He was doing so well, and he just wanted to give Jon a subtle way to warn her but… his parents immediately perked up at that, staring him down. “Nancy…Wheeler?” His mother asked, her eyebrows raised as she stared at him. “Or is it Byers now?” Robert asked shooting a look at Jonathan. “Uh…” Jonathan froze. Steve saw it, his mother’s eyes immediately zeroed in on Jonathan’s ring finger. No ring. All that legwork was out the window. Sure, his father could be as unfaithful as he wanted without consequence, but the idea of having a baby out of wedlock was too scandalous for Margaret Harrington. Steve sighed. “Yeah, that Nancy,” he said, scratching the back of his neck. “And I don’t think their marital status is really any of our business.” Jonathan gave him an appreciative look at that. “Yeah, I’ll give her a quick call to check.” He excused himself walking up the steps to call from the bedroom. Good. Smart. “Steven, they have a child,” Maggie scolded him. “You cannot still be trying to win over Nancy Wheeler—married or not—” “Mom, that’s not—” Robert let out a disapproving sigh. “Honestly, son. When I told you to try and apply yourself and start a career, I didn’t mean for you to move in with your ex and her new… whatever they are. This is not going to end well—” “It’s not like that,” Steve snapped, pushing his hair back from his face in frustration.

No way I can join this time round because of my workload but I am genuinely curious about this.
Let’s say one of the fic writers or artists who signs up in July is 17. Their birthday is in -completely just picking a random date- 25th October, and they turn 18.
For the event, are they considered underage or not?
Hi there!
Thank you for your question! We are answering this publicly as we're sure others are also wondering about this. One of our questions on the sign up form is if you will be 18 years of age prior to November 9, 2024. This would be the first day of claims so no collaboration with team members would be taking place.
Hope this helps clear things up!

Am I the only one that feels like the hype for Stranger Things is kinda dying? I mean they're posting bts stuff on social media and the engagements is mostly negative and ain't as high as it used to be.
Yeah I haven't seen much excitement for it, but frankly even if I think it's still entertaining I think it's pretty universally agreed that each season is worse than the last.

For those of you not watching along at home, Steve Harrington actually did not bite the head off of a demobat. I know Eddie references Ozzy Osbourne biting the head off a bat when he's talking about what Steve did, but Steve didn't do that. The bats were too large for him to have done that.
What Steve DID do was sink his teeth into the long, serrated tail a demobat had around his neck, causing it to release him from its stranglehold as it tries to escape him. What he DID do is grab it by that serrated tail - because he's not trapped in upside down with them, they're trapped in here with him - and swing it in an arc to bash its head against the ground 3 times before he stepped on one side of it and pulled on its tail until he fully just ripped the thing in half.
Then he spat the blood from the tail out of his mouth and looked around for the next one.
It goes far beyond biting a monster's head off. He fuckin' obliterated it. With his literally bare hands and feet, he was not even wearing shoes. Or a shirt. I feel like it's important we all understand he wasn't even feral enough for head biting. He was just fed up with being fed on, and was not going to take any chances.

If Stranger Things was meant to be a basic ”a nerd falls in love with a superpowered girl” story, they would’ve could’ve should’ve written it about Henderhop.

yet another song inspired by fictitious band The Shotguns from @greatunironic's steddie epic the most remarkable thing about you standing in the doorway is that it’s you. by my count, this is the eighteenth(!) song @greenlikethesea or i have written in this universe, which is genuinely blowing my mind. thanks @melrows for the album art and a huge thank you to everyone still listening!
especially in the context of the fic's timeline (as i've noted elsewhere, this album in '96 is the first after uncle wayne dies in '95) this song title struck me as almost impossibly lonely. what would it mean to know beyond a doubt that the paranormal is real, and yet still be unable to contact anyone who has passed on from this world? on the other hand, canonically in the fic, joyce and steve were the ones who arranged the funeral when ed couldn't wrap his mind around it at first, so this moment is both crushingly sad but also kind of lit around the edges by love. the duality of that interested me, and here's what i came up with. lyrics under the cut!
LYRICS Somebody tap on a windowpane somebody hum an old tragic refrain somebody make a cold space I can step inside
Flicker the lights when I get tired, set this whole fucking place on fire I'll take it, any signal, any sign
CHORUS Curse me Hex me Whisper in the dial tone Plague me Vex me Just don't leave me here alone
A Ouija board and an empty flask, Are guiding hands too much to ask? but stillness, all the spirits long consumed
After it all, what's got me scared the chance of nothing lurking there we've got no way to fight an empty room
CHORUS
The first man to say that it's ok for my heart to beat that way —the shock of that kindness, even now
so it's all gone to the unknown his voice from a borrowed phone to tell me, “Ed, you know I'm proud”
CHORUS Alone Alone Alone The voices of the living tell me I've forgiven The voices of the living say “we called, everyone's on their way” The voices of the living Oh, I've gotta take them with me The voices of the living sow The seeds that say we're not alone Alone Alone Alone
#the most remarkable thing#the most remarkable thing fansongs#stranger things for ts#the rhythms in this one were a lot of fun#alcohol mention#i was planning on compiling the new songs into a second charity album as soon as greenie and i stopped writing them#but uh given how that may not happen any time soon#i may need a new cutoff point

Idk why but Byler being Tumblr's #1 ship in 2022 caught me so off guard. Most of the other recent ones have been big ships from huge fandoms so it came as zero shock (Destiel, Reylo, etc), but even though I know ST has a huge fan following I had no idea people were this up in arms about the kid ships on the show. Steddie is less of a surprise tho, both extremely popular characters and shipping two hot white dudes is kind of Tumblr's bread and butter lol.
The hell? That shocks me too because they're infants.
