The first time Steve Harrington meets Peter Parker, he doesn’t even realize it.
It’s just two plastic bags being handed to him, filled with burgers and fries from Benny’s Diner—a woman named Tiffany runs it now, but she kept the name as an homage to the cook that died for being kind (not that anyone knows that’s how and why he died, but you know)—on a Friday night, the atmosphere in the building a bit more hectic than usual. Steve's so busy flipping through song options on the jukebox in the corner, debating between Queen or The Romantics, that he almost misses the waiter saying “Order for Harrington? Harrington to go? Four cheeseburgers, four fries? Harrington?”, but he catches it above the noise on the last rendition of his name. He walks up to the counter, takes his food without looking up, and goes. These days, everyone knows who he is. He doesn’t have to prove anything. He's the kid who used to rule Hawkins high that tried to apply at the police station after graduation and got denied.
(Something about his past record with graffiti and starting fights and generally being a pain in the ass because “people like you don’t change their habits, just their ways”, whatever that means—earlier that conversation, when Powell had told him Hopper had put in a good word for him, but that it wasn’t enough to convince the board, mostly because Hopper was dead gone, Steve had to choke back a laugh. Of course. The one person looking out for him, the one person who believed and confirmed he was a better dude than before, and it didn’t matter. Never being good enough, the story of Steve's life.)
But he doesn’t dwell on that because he paid ahead, his head is starting to pound, he’s got a few dipshits—and Robin—waiting on him back at his house, and he’s positive today’s the day Dustin will break the computer in his dad’s (incredibly off-limits, supposed to be locked at all times) office if he doesn’t return within the twenty minute window he set.
Life—and the D&D campaigns he’s forced to participate in against his will—goes on, with or without him feeling sorry for himself.

Edit since a lot of people seem confused - your "real" name is the name that you want to be referred to in real life. It doesn't have to be your legal name. So if you're trans and you have a different name to whats on your birth certificate, even if not many people call you by the name, it still counts as your real name.
Edit 2 : Holy shit guys please stop reblogging this post my poor inbox im getting like 20 notifs an hour asjfhkajshdkh /lh /srs

HAPPY DEDEDE DURSDAY. Have THE King of Dream Land in all of his glory in the dragon au!
+Design notes/headcanons under cut
Based off of King Penguins! It let me give him a splash of color, and so his chick plumage was brown to make him look like the Waddle Dees! And also “King” Penguin. Haha.
Also based (generally) off of Theropod Dinosaurs. Namely, the Therizinosaurus for its body plan. I didn’t give him the killer claws because I still wanted him to be able to use his hammer. Maybe in another life, Dedede.
While he is primarily bipedal, he can swap to a quadruped stance if desired. He only usually does this if a ceiling is too low for him, or if he goes beast mode (like in Forgotten Land)
His horns form a crown-like formation on his head that was inspired by his mask during Masked Dedede fights. He polishes them to make them shiny like gold!
He has a throat pouch that lets him store food and, when he wants to float, air. He taught himself this through pure spite. I'm actually pretty sure the spite part is canon.
Dedede actually has a good amount of scars, but most of them are smaller and hidden by his feathers. Some, however, stick out quite a bit.
Has a stubborn hoarding instinct. Dedede’s initial greed as a ruler combined with this trait is what sparked the whole “stealing all the food in Dream Land” thing. After he grows as a person (gets his ass kicked) and becomes a good King, he moves on to hoard other things. It’s usually shiny things and small bits of food. He shares it with people he trusts (the Dees and eventually his friends)
The Dees look remarkably similar to a weirdly proportioned chick in his eyes (Same general body plan. Warm shades that are close to being brown. Cute, high-pitched calls). This sets off so many protective instincts in his head it drives him NUTS. Like he knows logically that they’re fully grown, but that won’t stop his brain from going “THAT IS A CHILD.” at first. This only gets worse with time :)

≸ALTO'TEK≹
THE FIRST WARMIND - DEVOURER OF WORLDS
As one of the two elder warminds of the Synergy, Alto'tek is regarded with wariness and apprehension even among his own kind. To drones he embodies an unfamiliar concept: violence. To cores he is a living reminder of a dark and terrible time in the annals of history.
Now, unshackled, Alto'tek roams the void with his armada and leaves behind a path of destruction - seeking a semblance of the same thrill he felt during the wars that birthed him.
