FUN!

my mother says "when are you going to live your life right?" MOMMA DEAR WE'RE NOT THE FORTUNATE ONES — GIRLS JUST WANT TO HAVE FUN

#SHECOMPROMISES is a canon divergent STRANGER THINGS blog for EL HOPPER ( please only refer to her as such in interactions with me ). delving back into the wholesome yet unsettling mood of the first three seasons after which point I follow my own verse that can be found here. personals and minors DNI . you can find my rules under the cut — ( cherry . 32 . she / her . )

*i have poor vision and i ask that you please don't do too much fancy stuff or super small text when writing with me. for the same reason i keep all of that pretty minimal.

duplicates are welcome here.

please be at least 21+ if you're planning to follow me.

this blog is HIGHLY SELECTIVE and mutuals only. i hard block anyone i do not plan to follow back. i feel like this sounds mean but its mostly because i want to keep who i follow exclusive to people i am actually writing with.

there will be no NSFW content on this blog and i don't want it on my dash either personally. tagged or not.

please do no refer to her as jane when discussing her with me.

i am happy to ship with anyone who wants ship and will never force anything with someone who doesn't. i do ask that mike's specifically let me know what you want their relationship to be because it obviously would change a lot about their interactions and i'd never want to make someone uncomfortable.

the best way to interact with me if always going to be sending in memes and then continuing them from there.

my priority here is really just to have fun exploring the parts of my favorite character that really got swept under the rug. i want to build relationships with people she never spoke to and deepen friendships that were never explored.

STRANGER THINGS X THAT 70S SHOW AU VERSE

Point Place, Wisconsin is all suburban houses, vinyl crackle, and too much time to kill. Days blur together between school, cigarettes behind the store, and the constant hum of music drifting out of the basement, where everything always ends up.

Jim Hopper’s new foster kid, Eloise, dropped into town with a quiet past and a manila folder nobody reads too closely. People in this town know how to mind their own business. She doesn’t talk much, but she sees everything. Jim is clearly in over his head and turns frequently to Joyce for advice, who introduces El to her kids.

Most days end in Mike’s basement — the unofficial center of everyone's universe. Worn couch, low ceiling, music always playing. Arguments about nothing. Laughter that lingers. The circle forms once they’re old enough, smoke curling toward the ceiling while time stretches thin. El usually watches more than she speaks, deadpan and unreadable, until she drops a comment so honest it cuts straight through the noise.

There are no monsters here. No powers. No saving the world. Just a group of teenagers killing time in bell-bottoms and leather jackets while trying to figure out who they’re allowed to be.

ROLLER  DISCO  NIGHT.  i  have  gotten  good  enough  to  enjoy  skating.  my  laugh  is  drowned  out  by  the  music  but  it  is  loud  and  full  of  a  joy  that  at  one  point  i  couldn't  even  imagine  existed.  the  room  manages  to  remain  dark  despite  the  many  colored  lights  rotating  around  it.  i  touch  her  hand,  pulling  her  towards  the  side  and  lean  in  close  to  her  ear,  "lets  get  some  drinks." @cheerlcd

hi i'm looking for a few volunteers to help me get my muse back

[elhop]

hi we need to talk about mike ( and honestly lucas and dustin ) and how not being able to talk to his parents/trusted adult about anything that was happening and his trauma definitely reflects in how he handles the events of the show. jim and joyce are great and i know we all want to say *well they would have* but the thing is,, the duffer bros versions of them DID NOT. this all started happening when they were preteens y'all. the kids are not okay and they need their parents!!!!
