RULES / STATS UNDERCUT.
01. whilst normally i am a devil may care type person whenever it comes to my follower count & organization, i’ve decided to keep this blog tidier than normal. i’ll only be following back people that i’m interested in interacting with. if i follow you first, we’re probably already friends OR you have a really cool blog and i really want to write with you. i’m trying to be very careful about who i follow in the s.tranger t.hings fandom.
02. drama is not my thing. i avoid it in real life and you best believe i’m going to avoid it online, being that this is my hobby. i wont reblog callouts, but will read them. i’ll only reblog if the person is incredibly dangerous to make my followers be aware. don’t follow me if you write b.illy h.argrove. no gross behavior with minor muses, either, thanks. don’t be transphobic, genderbend, whitewash, don’t be a racist asshole, don’t support n*zi imagery, don’t be a fucking dickhead.
03. oooooh i do love shipping! though, i do prefer a little bit of plotting beforehand. i think it’s very important to build a relationship ooc as well. i’m more comfortable to ship if we talk a little ooc. gareth is eighteen years old so i will not be shipping him with any of the younger hellfire members. chemistry is very important.
04. i’m billie! i’ve thirty three years old and i’ve been apart of the rpc since late 2010. i’m an old lady. i’ve been around the block a few times. i work full time overnight ( twelve hour shifts ) at hospital & i have a lot of social obligations so i’m primarily mobile. most of my replies will be posted by queue due to this. my reply speed is slow and whilst i post a lot of ooc posts while at work & what not, it may sometimes take me a few days or even weeks to reply to a thread. patience is key! this is something i do whenever i want to destress and have fun.

BULLET POINTS:
gareth comes from a middle class family. his father has a respectable job as an accountant & his mother is a stay at home mom.
he has a twin sister named geraldine ( keefercheer ) . she goes by jerry. they are polar opposites, considering she’s a straight a student & set to graduate in 1986 unlike him. she’s also a cheerleader. they do not see eye to eye but they love each other nonetheless.
he also had a younger brother named robby. he was sixteen. he fell victim to vecna. gareth was the one who found him.
i haven’t quite figured out anything about his d&d character but i can tell you that his character is a bard elf & probably chaotic neutral.
he’s known to get into fights because he has a temper. he also goes out of his way to start them, especially when it comes to the jocks.
has been playing the drums since he was ten years old. he’s really quite good, to be honest.
he also plays drums on the drumline in the marching band at hawkins high.
ends up getting injured in the “earthquakes”. ends up with a broken femur and some broken ribs. stays in the hospital for a month & a half for rehab on his leg.
