Welcome to

Better Things

Season 1

It's 1983 —junior year, and Eddie's life is on a downward tilt from bad to worse. Bullies hate him, teachers don't believe in him, and his support network is limited at best. So when Eleven, a long forgotten figure from his past, resurfaces on the same night multiple kids from the town vanish into thin air, the two team up with the loved ones of those affected to get to the bottom of the dark experiment pumping through the heart of Hawkins.

What Eddie never expected was the road to the truth would lead them back to the steps of his own broken home, even into the very core of himself.

Hi there, this is K. I’m not one for introductions but I’m primarily going to be the sticky glue holding the art and writing process of this project together. I.e., thumbnails, inking, layout, editing. I also worked way too long on the cover up there. Mostly for now I wanted something to use for our playlist icon lol. If I know myself (which I do) I’ll end up making something new eventually. The inspo was to make it based off of this cover from The Kinks, since it’s where the title track is from:

Chapter 1 is now underway! Appreciate all of the support on here and especially on ao3 ❤️‍🔥

harringrove is great because it would have objectively been a really good writing decision, BUT ALSO it would have been so funny if they'd written a mean jock character who ran away from them and turned into a good guy character (because of joe keery's charisma) and then s2 comes and they're like "okay, here's our new mean jock character" and then history repeats itself plus these two characters fall in love

EDDIE MUNSON in STRANGER THINGS | 4.08 Chapter Eight: Papa

Victims of the Mind Flayer

These three kids had a very rough summer. Billy is invited to a party for kids who have encountered the Mind Flayer. I think he would have bonded with El and Will and become their big brother in trauma.

Am I the only one who noticed that the veins kinda look like cracked porcelain? Could this be because Billy was falling apart at the seams throughout s3?

Could be . . .

Remember this post? Couldn’t get it out of my head so I drew a Harringrove version. 😉

Eddie is a guy who will wear his clothes until they're reduced to mere shreds of fabric covering his skin. That's fine. It's just a part of who he is, and you love who he is. You don't mind being there to help him make the tough calls on what socks need mending and which are more ready to find the inside of the garbage can. You'd never fault him on the rips in his denim jacket or his jeans, not when he sported every tear so proudly—like they were little badges of honor.

But the current issue is that he keeps fucking losing things. And not 'losing things' in a way that will have you finding your car keys wedged between the wall and the entryway table. No, it's 'losing things' as in they fall right out of his pocket. His wallet is on a chain so that's all well and good, but anything else that goes into his pocket for safekeeping will find itself on the ground within 10 minutes (Esp with the way Eddie walks– with that bounce in his step. All flouncy like. As if every day is his first outing on two legs that have knees. You know the walk we're talking about here.)
