“like weapons, do you?”
“it must be worth a lot.”
“how do you know that?”
“people keep telling me that but it doesn’t mean anything to me.”
“we bear the glories and the burdens of our names, the good and the bad our ancestors have done, through all our lives.”
“people are flawed.”
“I’m a pretty big deal.”
“so you were planning on running away I take it?”
“I don’t belong here.”
“I don’t need you. I don’t need any of you.”
“you might think you want to die, but trust me — you don’t.”
“that’s basically a squid, right?”
“I’ve never been awarded a fish before.”
“I have won for you a fish, my fair one.”
“I couldn’t keep a fish alive, I kill plants just by looking at them.”
“does anyone want to tell him that goldfish are freshwater fish and can’t survive in the ocean?”
“just tell me that he makes you happy.”
“there’s a disturbing smell of calamari wafting from your general direction.”
“I wouldn’t be worried about him, I might be worried about you.”
“he’s just a kid.”
“you look like a cop.”
“you didn’t really think that would work, did you?”
“it could’ve worked.”
“a strange evening, forsooth.”
“don’t you ‘forsooth’ me.”
“most of us mind being naked in front of strangers.”
“really? you’ve never swum naked in the ocean?”
“are you on the floor?”
“I shouldn’t feel bad, right? He was a terrible person. I had to do it.”
“when people die, our dreams of what they could be die with them. even if ours is the hand that ends them.”
“tell me something fun. you haven’t talked about your love life in ages.”
“there’s never going to be anyone else for me.”
“everyone’s afraid of dying.”
“I realize it sounds ridiculous, but I know what I know.”
“I knew I was going to die, and I wasn’t scared.”
“I trust you to not ever give up.”
“don’t poke me with any of your weird little magic wands.”
“so what happens to me?”
“I mean your house is pretty screwed up with your agoraphobic uncle and your weird brother.”
“no, they’re afraid of you. there’s a difference.”
“have you ever wanted a really up-close look at a gross tentacle?”
“no one ever seems to say yes to that question.”

“am I the only one who’s read X-Men and realizes why this is a bad idea?”
“I didn’t realize I was lost. I never felt lost.”
“am I imagining you? I was thinking about you and now here you are.”
“when a decision like that is made by a government, it emboldens those who are already prejudiced to speak their deepest thoughts of hate. they assume they are simply brave enough to say what everyone really thinks.”
“no. that was not a human noise.”
“I need you. you might be surprised to hear that.”
“didn’t you all just catch a murderer?”
“besides, what else are you going to do? run away? and go where?”

“I have never known anyone as human as you.”

“you thought you were kissing me because you were intoxicated, not because you wanted to, or because you actually like me.”
“will you not come back to my arms for more kisses?”
“come and speak your words of challenge to my blade.”
“it’s not our strongest position, but it’s something.”
“(name) ! that’s how you black out and wake up the nest day under a bridge with a tattoo that says ‘I LOVE HELICOPTERS’.“
“sometimes we must deceive the ones we love.”
“I cannot be the instrument that causes him pain.”
“you enter a cave. inside the cave is an egg, lit from within and glowing. you know it beats with your dreams — not the ones you have during the day, but the ones you half-remember in the morning. it splits open. what emerges?”
“you will be the champion of your people.”
“show no mercy, (name).”
“is that a ferret?”
“all that death and destruction and what will you gain?”
“whatever gods have done this, they are gracious to bring me the one my soul loves, in my last moments.”

“do you think I am someone who has anything to lose?”
“I might kill you for being so stupid.”
“weasel face, you’re surprisingly helpful when you want to be.”
“I said I was tired of threatening you, not that I was going to stop doing it.”
“how did you know I would need saving?”
“don’t feel bad, he always falls asleep yelling that.”
“I spent so much time looking for revenge, but finding it didn’t make me happy.”
“I will always choose you, too.”
“I thought I would die this night. I was prepared for it. I was ready.”
“for any blood ritual, willing blood is better than unwilling.”
“I would rather be mad in my way than yours.”

“you’re staying within these walls and that’s final.”
“I will always come back to you (name).”
“I don’t believe in providence, or an interventionist Heaven.”
“are you quoting shakespeare?”
“speaking of dreams, you have been in mine, and often.”

“then what are you doing here, if you are not family?”
“I sense the distance but do not understand its cause.”
“it’s clear none of you have practice in observing the dead.”
“I have done everything to get your attention outside of smacking you in the head with a ouija board.”

“draw me like one of your french girls.”
“the first time we watched Titanic, you cried.”
“we’ll have to figure another way in.”
“who would ever want movies or TV when there are books?”
“so tell them I ran off there and you had to catch me.”
“no trespassers usually means the local kids have made it into a hang out and the whole place is covered with empty candy wrappers and booze bottles.”
“this doesn’t look deserted. not by a long shot.”
“why are you trying to ruin y good time?”

* SEND DEVELOPMENT QUESTIONS FOR CAROL !
I’M GONNA POP YOUR BUBBLEGUM HEART !
HEADS UP FRIENDS ! I want to address some, what I feel are, misconceptions about carol’s character and how I will be writing her. firstly, I would like to note that this is merely my commentary on what I’ve seen around the fandom and my personal reaction to it and how it will affect my portrayal. you don’t have to agree with me on any of this, but know that this is how I will conduct my portrayal of carol.
It seems to me that a lot of people see carol as the “queen bee” character of ST. the bitchy, most popular girl in school. a full-on antagonist to everyone she comes into contact with. the closest comparison I can think of is that people see her as the re/gina ge/orge or he/ather ch/andler of hawkins high and I disagree. carol, in my own opinion, is not a queen bee. to hold the power of he/ather ch/andler or re/gina ge/orge takes a lot of concerted strategy, unshaken confidence, and downright cruelty to those around you. I don’t believe that carol possesses those qualities.
does carol care about her social appearance and significance? yes, of course, she’s a high school girl in the 80s, it consumes a decent amount of her thoughts. but does she care enough to treat the social climate of hawkins high like a chessboard to make sure she’s constantly in a position of power? hell no. she’s almost apathetic in that sense. she wants to be popular, sure, but that stems from a low self-esteem and a desire to be adored more than a desire to have control over others. she’s not really ambitious in a social sense. if anything she’s a spoiled brat who likes attention and adoration from others but she’s not going to mastermind any kind of social politics or anything like that.
moving onto the misconception of her being an antagonist or villain; i don’t believe that carol is, generally speaking, going to go out of her way to ruin anyone’s life for the hell of it. she did participate in all the “nancy ‘the slut’ wheeler” stuff yes, and I absolutely don’t excuse her from it but consider two things: first, steve was her close friend and carol highly values loyalty. nancy hurt him and, only knowing his side of the story, she was ready to defend him and call her out on it. secondly, she wasn’t the most Active participant in any of it as it is. she was never shown with the spray paint, she calls nancy a slut once to her face and maybe one other time after the fight ? and speaking of the fight if you look closely she’s actually the one that prompts tommy to get in there and break it up the first time (to which steve tells tommy to back off). I’m not saying that carol is a great person or that we should excuse her for the wrongs she’s done, or at least been complicit to her friends doing, but I also don’t think we have enough evidence to prove that she will go out of her way to antagonize just anyone. someone that’s personally hurt her or her friends? yes. but bullying someone just for the sake of bullying them? no. her goal is not to be the Mega Supreme Bitchy Queen Bee of hawkins and she’s not.
carol burkhart is a loyal friend with a skewed moral compass and a lot of teenage stupidity. she’s a follower that will go along with her friend’s dumb ideas, not the leader or mastermind behind them. again, that doesn’t excuse anything because she makes the conscious decision to follow them and encourage those dumb ideas, but she’s not this Queen Bee Antagonist I think people may be building her up to be.
so that’s how I’ll be interpreting her character, at least until we get some further insight into carol in canon, which seems unlikely aside from maybe a scene or two in s3. is my carol a spoiled brat that will bite back if you piss her off? hell yes. is she a Queen Bee Antagonist that’s hell-bent on bullying the entire school and making everyone’s lives suck? no. so please keep all of this in mind when you interact with me !
I regret nothing
