In a “fuck it, El lives, loses her powers and stays with the Byers and Hopper in Hawkins” AU, I headcanon that she tries a bunch of different things out before finding a hobby she likes.

Skateboarding with Max is a failure because El has issues balancing on her board. She ends up roller skating with Max once she’s physically recovered from being in bed for 18 months.

Basketball with Lucas is frustrating since she can’t use her powers to shoot the ball. She instead cheers Lucas on in any pick up games he plays with Steve.

She doesn’t mind painting with Will but struggles with being as imaginative as he is. Whenever Will wants company when he’s pairing at his easel, she ends up painting miniature figures that he uses in D & D.

El likes writing with Mike but finds that she’s not as good at writing fiction as he is. She starts keeping a journal where she documents her emotions and observations of the people and things around her. She occasionally shares what’s she’s written to others.

Engineering with Dustin ends up with her setting part of his bedroom carpet on fire. She ends up reading one of his many library books next to him whenever she visits and he’s building the next Cerebro.

It sort of just happens one night when El asks Joyce a bunch of questions about her production of “Oklahoma” in high school. Joyce encourages El to try out for the Hawkins High drama club. She auditions along with Dustin and gets a small role in their musical production of Bye Bye Birdie and ends up falling in love with being on stage. The costumes, the music, the dialogue and the sets are all fascinating to her. Dustin’s also excited that El likes acting as much as he does. Steve, Erica, Mrs. Henderson, the rest of the Party, Joyce and Hopper are all in the front row opening night. Hopper and Joyce give El yellow flowers after the show’s over.

She ends up becoming a theater kid and wants to study it in college. The Byers/Hopper household ends up having a filmmaker, an artist and an actress in the family.

i dont get offended at white people jokes even though im white because: 

i can recognize white people as a whole have systemically oppressed POC in america, which is where i live

5. It’s hard to be offended when white people jokes involve bland food/tourist dads in socks and sandals/white girls in yoga pants obsessed with pumpkin spice/suburban PTA moms and other harmless and mostly true stereotypes while jokes about POC involve them being called thugs/criminals/slurs/uneducated/illegal immigrants.

experiences one day where it’s not 90 degrees out, immediately wants to write a Steve Harrington and the Henderson’s Thanksgiving drabble

Steve vaguely remembered having fun at his maternal grandmother’s house every Thanksgiving.

After she died when he was 7, Thanksgiving at the Harringtons were either boring as hell because his parents would invite clients over for a party and he’d be the only kid there, pretty much ignored by everyone.

Other years, it was a lonely day because his parents would travel for work, leaving him alone.

In general, the day would usually just pass by in a dull blur.

That changed in 1984 when Dustin asked him what he was doing for Thanksgiving.

He was horrified when he heard Steve was going to grab some McDonalds and watch TV.

He invited Steve over to his house to have dinner with him and his mom.

“We always makes too much food and it’s all delicious. You gotta come!”

Steve had quickly found out that it was very difficult for him to say no to Dustin, so even though he wasn’t that excited about it, he showed up at the Hendersons with an apple pie he picked up from Melvards.

Dustin answered the door and yelled “Steve! Mom, Steve’s here!”

Mrs. Henderson followed her son to the door, immediately pulled Steve into a hug.

“It’s lovely to meet you, Steve! Dustin wouldn’t stop talking about you. It’s always nice to meet his friends. Please call me Claudia, hon.”

Dustin had run in the kitchen. He had a green bean casserole in the oven and filling Steve in on what else needed to be done.

“Dusty, Steve doesn’t need to help out in the kitchen if he doesn’t want to. He’s a guest.”

But Steve said “That’s OK, Mrs. Henderson. I can help.”

He immediately rolled the sleeves of his sweater up and started chopping some vegetables.

Mrs. Henderson joined them in the kitchen to keep an eye on the rest of the prep and help out Dustin when needed.

Steve was impressed at how confident Dustin was in the kitchen.

“My mom and I cook together all the time” Dustin said, eyeing a pot of mac and cheese on the stove.

Steve couldn’t even remember the last time he saw either of his parents make anything more complicated than a cup of coffee in their pristine kitchen.

After everything was cooked, the three of them sat down and ate at the dining room table.

It was full of so much food that there was barely any room for their plates, cups and silverware.

And it all smelled amazing.

Steve was surprised that he feels very comfortable at Thanksgiving with the Hendersons.

Dustin and Claudia asked him a lot of questions about his life and made sure to include him in their conversations, which ranged from movies to school to the small town drama happening around Hawkins.

Also, Dustin didn’t lie when he said all the food was delicious (apart from the apple pie).

And when Claudia’s packing leftovers in a Tupperware despite Steve’s protests that he has food at home, she said “Well, we won’t be here for Christmas because we’ll be in Minnesota visiting Dusty’s grandparents but there’s a place for you at the table next Thanksgiving if you’re interested, Steve.”

It took all of Steve’s restraint (and a very painful nose pinch) to not burst into tears.

“I’d love that, Claudia. You can count me in.”

Dustin smiled from ear to ear and said “Excellent. We’ll have to learn how to make the best apple pie ever by next year. That Melvards pie was awful.”

Got a little post season 4 “Eddie lives, but things still go to shit” Steddie drabble bouncing around in my head.

Things get dire and Steve ends up having to use Hopper’s sword against a particularly nasty monster from the Upside Down to protect Eddie and Dustin when they get stuck somewhere. Eddie looks over at Steve, sword raised, screaming at the top of his lungs and has major, inappropriately timed bi panic. Steve ends up defeating the monster.

After everything settles down and Vecna is defeated, Eddie ends adding a Knight character to his next campaign whose described as handsome and very brave. Dustin immediately clocks that the Knight is a stand in for Steve because the knight has amazing hair and excellent swimming skills and “there’s only one person we know who fits that description, Eddie!”

[demogorgandelights]

I got a “Will Byers joins the track team” AU/post season 5 HC bouncing around in my head. Hopefully it’s not too out of left field!

After defeating Vecna, Troy leaving Hawkins and not having to flee for his life, Will finds out he actually likes running. He joins the track and field team, getting mixed reactions from his friends. Lucas tells him to be careful of the other people on the team, but goes to every meet. He sits with the Byerses/Hoppers whenever they can make it. Dustin doesn’t get it, but thinks running is a useful skill. If Track and Field doesn’t clash with D&D, he’ll go watch Will. Max says she’s indifferent, but does like skateboarding next to Will when he’s practicing his running. She also shows up to meets if she’s feeling able to.

Mike ends up having the strongest negative reaction. He is hurt that Will doesn’t have as much time to play D & D as he used to. They get into a big fight about it, where Will says Mike should be thrilled that he finally found something to do outside of Mike’s basement and Mike accuses Will of wanting to act normal. As a result, Mike refuses to go to a meet until Eddie (who’s apologized to Lucas for his behavior pre Spring Break ‘86) sits him down after Hellfire one night and tells him his actions are hurting Will. Eddie talks about how he didn’t realize how much they both hurt Lucas and he’d hate to see Mike do the same thing with Will. He ends up apologizing to Will and going to the next meet. He ends up being the loudest and most enthusiastic fan in the stands.

[demogorgandelights]

Reddie AU where Eddie is a jock and Richie is a theater kid. Richie insists on trying on Eddie’s letterman jacket because he wants to smell Eddie without seeming like he’s a creep he thinks it’ll be funny. The rest of the Losers can’t stop cracking up because Richie objectively looks pretty goofy. The sleeves are at least 4 inches too short and he can’t zip it up, but both he and Eddie are blushing really hard and totally smitten.

[demogorgandelights]

HC that Eddie slips into a Southern accent when he’s really tired or drunk, picked up from living with Wayne for several years. Everyone in the group finds out about this after Steve throws a big “We Defeated the Upside Down” party and Eddie gets into a shot drinking contest with the older kids. Max, the only person outside of the Munsons who knew about this before the party due to being his neighbor, cackles at the reaction on Steve’s face.

[demogorgandelights]

I’m currently rewatching the Death in Paradise episodes with Neville in them. And I really dislike how Catherine treats him. Like, she gets frequently annoyed that he doesn’t like island food, despite going out of her way in previous episodes to make Richard a great cup of tea, no questions asked. She also orders him a Rum and Coke in one episode despite him asking Florence to grab him a Coke so he can stay focused. This causes a bad reaction to his antihistamines, which she had to know he took because Neville’s allergic to everything. This bad reaction essentially ruins a game night that he put together for charity! Yes, there are some good moments in their relationship, but overall, Catherine, who’s been shown in the past to have a lot of patience and understanding for the past DI’s, seems to not have that for Neville.

why twitter why u must hurt me like this

[demogorgandelights]

I feel like something people tend to forget about season 4 Jonathan is that he’s depressed and has lost interest in things he previously loved, including photography. Contrast this with Will and Nancy, who are also struggling in season 4. Unlike Jonathan, both characters throw themselves into their interests, painting and newspaper respectively.

[demogorgandelights]

I’m rewatching Derry Girls for the “I’ve lost count at how many” times. I just caught that in the first episode of Season 2, when Michelle is talking about Elizabeth Hurley, she says “your woman, you know her” SHE’S TALKING TO CLARE. Clare has a crush on Elizabeth Hurley and I just noticed it. How did I not notice it before?!

[cheeseanonioncrisps]

Y'know, whenever people want to talk about why aspec people 'count' as an oppressed identity, they tend to go for the big stuff like corrective rape and conversion therapy. And like, we should absolutely talk about that stuff. Obviously those things are terrible and important and we need to raise awareness and deal with them.

But I feel like people often gloss over how… quietly traumatising it is to grow up being told that there is only one way to be happy— and that everybody who doesn't conform to that norm is secretly miserable and just doesn't know it— and then to gradually realise that, for reasons that you cannot help, that is never going to happen for you.

You're not going to find a prince/princess and ride off into the sunset. Or if you do, then it's not going to look exactly the way it does in fairytales. You're not going to get a 'normal' relationship, because you are not 'normal', and everybody and everything around you keeps telling you that that's bad.

You see films where characters are presented as being financially stable, genuinely passionate about their work and surrounded by friends and family, but then spend the rest of the plot realising that the real thing they needed was a (romantic and sexual) partner, to make them 'complete'.

You absorb the idea that any relationships you have with allo people will ultimately be unfulfilling on their side, and that this will be your fault (even if you discussed things with your partner beforehand and they decided that they were a-okay with having those sorts of boundaries in a relationship) unless you deliberately force yourself into situations that you aren't comfortable with, so as to make uo for your 'defects'.

You grow up feeling lowkey gaslighted because all the adults in your life (even in LGBT+ spaces. In fact especially in LGBT+ spaces) are insisting that it's totally normal to not be attracted to anybody at your age, and then you go to school and everybody keeps pressuring you to name somebody you're attracted to because they can't imagine not being attracted to anybody at your age.

And then you get older and realise that one day you're going to be expected to leave home, and that one day all your friends are going to be expected to put aside other relationships and 'settle down' with a primary partner and you don't know what you're going to do after that because you straight up don't have a roadmap for what a 'happy ending' looks like for someone like you.

(And the LGBT+ community is little help, because so many people in there are more than happy to tell you that you're not oppressed at all. That you're like this because you don't want to have sex, and/or you don't want to have any relationships, that your orientation is some sort of choice you made— like not eating bananas— rather than an intrinsic part of you that a lot of us have at some point tried to wish away.)

Even if you're grey or demi, and do experience those feelings, you still have to deal with the fact that you're not experiencing them the 'normal' way and that that's going to effect your relationships and your ability to find one in the first place.

If you're aiming for lifelong singlehood (which is valid af) or looking for a qpp, then you're going to have to spend the rest of your life either letting people make wrong assumptions about your situation (at best that your relationship is of a different nature than it actually is, at worst that the life you've chosen is really just a consolation prize because you 'failed' at finding a romantic/sexual partner) or pulling out a powerpoint and several webpages every time you want to explain it.

This what being aspec looks like for most people, and it is constantly minimised as being unimportant and not worth fighting against— even in aspec spaces— because we've all on some level absorbed the idea that oppression is only worth fighting against if it's big, and dramatic, and immediately obvious. That all the little incidents of suffering that we experience on a daily basis are not enough to be worth bothering about.

I mean, who gives a shit if you feel broken, inherently toxic as a partner, and like you're going to be denied happiness because of your orientation? Shouldn't we all just shut up and thank our lucky stars we don't have to deal with all the stuff some of the other letters in the acronym have to put up with (leaving aside the fact that there are many aspec people who identify with more than one letter)?

So you know what? If you're aspec and you relate to anything I've said above (or can think of other things relating your your aspec-ness that I haven't mentioned) then this is me telling you now that it's enough. Even if we got rid of all the big stuff (which we're unlikely to do any time soon because— Shock! Horror!— the big stuff is actually connected to all the small stuff) we would still be unable to consider our fight 'over' because what you are experiencing is not 'basically okay' and something we should just be expected to 'put up with'.

No matter what anybody tells you, we have the right to demand more from life than this.

Everyone has been vaccinated for free and the virus hasn’t caused a single death in months.

Those dates you go on with your partner? They’re in public. Unmasked. Your server smiles at you. Everyone feels safe.

You can hug your friends.

You can see a movie. The people in the movie are gay people of color and they kiss and live happily ever after.

And so will you.
