"fandom is dying," they whine as they stab artists and writers in the chest with discourse knives and harassment screws. "why isn't anyone making content for me to greedily consume for free as I make the experience worse for them and everyone around me?"

I have COVID (again) but I will never be too sick for Oatmeal Creme Pies.

Happy three year anniversary to the woman that saved my life. It doesn't feel real that you've known me for that long and have never left. You made me believe in love again. You're everything I've ever wanted. Here's to another year with you.

Welcome to STRANGERPAIRS

This is a source blog for all things Stranger Things rarepairs. Rarepairs are ships that are uncommon or 'rare' compared to others, that often don't have much content available for them. Our blog aims to reblog as much rarepair content as possible across the platform, as well as promote rarepair events within the community and even potentially host our own events in the future.

Looking for reliable moderators to help keep the blog running and queue posts. Direct message @marinemuses for more info on how to apply.

What We Post Anything related to less common Stranger Things ships. We also include crossover ships, as we consider those rare! Certain canon ships will be included if they've been deemed unpopular within the fandom, though this will be a case-by-case basis. Poly ships will be included, as they are considered almost always rare by default to us. We do not block specific characters from this blog, all characters will be included. This is an archive, not a debate floor.

What We Won't Post Any posts with only one subject, any posts that center popular Stranger Things ships, any RPF shipping posts, and NSFW of minor characters. For a full list of ships we won't be including on our blog, please visit our guidelines page.

Tagging System Posts will be tagged as the type of post (#art, #fic, #gif, etc.), the pairing type (#mono or #poly), the pairing dynamic (#ff, #fm, #mm, etc.), and the ship itself (#jonathan x billy, #eddie x nancy, #robin x carol, etc.) Alternate universes and tropes will be tagged as '#au: [prompt]'. Crossover fandoms will be tagged as '#source: [media]'. Triggers and NSFW will be tagged as '#tw: [trigger]'. If this is a post we've been tagged in (the post used #strangerpairs), it will also have a '#tag'. Tags will go in this order on each post.

Rules & Regulations Don't start drama on our blog, doesn't matter if it's tags or comments or asks. If you don't like a specific character or ship, [tumblr] has a handy tag blocking feature, or you can simply block our entire blog. Don't tag us in content that are in our 'won't post' section, it will get ignored. Don't take our original creations posted to this blog and pass them off as your own. If we share a creation of yours and you would like it to be taken down, you can direct message us or send us an ask off anon linking to the offending post(s). We will sort it out. Overall, just be civil and kind. This is a fandom positivity space. No one is required to be here. Keep that in mind.

This blog is not affiliated with the retired strangerpairs/strngerpairs blog or its moderators. It is simply a more inclusive 'reboot' of the same concept.

you never think too hard abt having an apple but then you see one and think "hm i haven't had one in a long time" and then you take a bite on a whim and it's like fuuck wait this awesome #myapple. and then when you're done you'll forget about the appleful joy because it's the only way it can be experienced again

go on anon and tell me at least 3 facts you’ve learned about me since following me

[defunctblog4]

I've updated the way I do my blogs on here, so I'm just updating my moots. It's formerly mothellie btw.

I've separated my fandoms into sideblogs. This blog is gonna be a general blog where I reblog all of my creations regardless of fandom, share content for fandoms I can't justify making a whole blog for, and just general post about things outside of fandom. I know I have a lot of Stranger Things moots, so I'll list out all my blogs now and what they are so if you wanna follow them and see their content you're more than free. They just wont be posted directly to this blog anymore.

olympusmuses: i'm pagan and this is my hellenic devotional blog. i'll post a lot about my practice here.

morningstarmuses: same as before but for the luciferian aspect of my practice.

amoremuses: my queer sideblog! ill repost a lot of content about queerness and about my own identity.

ocosauce: my 5SOS sideblog

detreed: my detroit become human sideblog

mothellie: my old name lmaoo but this is now my last of us sideblog

arcadials: my life is strange sideblog

flaremaze: my maze runner sideblog

steviesins: my stranger things sideblog

pcrkent: my marvel/dc/superhero sideblog

deansalts: my supernatural sideblog

shownines: my taylor swift sideblog

If there are any fandoms here that you don't wanna see on my main blog, as I'm gonna be reblogging all my original shit here, you can block the tag of which blog it came from (i.e. you can block my 'shownines' tag if you don't want taylor swift content).

I know this probably seems excessive but I just got so tired of separating all my stuff on this blog and I want to diversify my content since 99% of this blog was just Stranger Things. I'm gonna tag my moots in the comments because for some reason I'm limited to 5 tags per post and [tumblr] wont fix it.

think im gonna rebrand my blogs again... 🧍🏻

Periodic rent-lowering-gunshots:

Fiction is not reality.

You can enjoy things in fiction that would be awful in the real world. Like playing a murderhobo in a game! In the real world, being or supporting a murderer-thief would be pretty damn awful, while in the game it's just good fun. Same with anything else you choose to do with the pixels on the screen, like kinks that don't affect anyone real, so they're okay in fiction, but would be pretty damn bad in real life.

No one else is responsible for your online experience. They are required not to harass you, but they are not and never will be obligated to not post about ships, kinks, or tropes you dislike just to avoid you seeing them. It's up to you to blacklist words or phrases, block tags, or even block users as needed to avoid seeing content that upsets you.

No one can force you to read anything against your consent. Any content you don't like seeing can be instantly avoided by closing out of the offending post/fic.

You are not owed an online experience free of discomfort.

Nothing that happens in your imagination can ever make you a bad person. Words you write or read about fictional characters will never make you a bad person.

The claim that media consumption influences real-life behavior is intellectually dishonest and serves only to excuse the behavior of real offenders.

Fiction is a safe way to explore horrifying or confusing concepts. Therapists agree that fiction, even (or especially) about taboo topics is a good coping mechanism, especially, but not exclusively, for trauma survivors. Fiction is to adults what play therapy is to children. This doesn't stop being true if the work in question is of a sexual nature.

Sex isn't an inherently worse or better motivation than anything else. A work written to create feelings of arousal isn't dirty, shameful, or in any way less pure than works written to entertain, provoke moral questions, or for other reasons. And worth noting is that multiple purposes can exist in the same story, especially fanfiction.

You aren't entitled to an explanation for why someone reads, writes, or otherwise enjoys certain works, kinks, tropes, ships, etc.
