Nearly a full year later, I was in another car accident and this time is so much worse than the last time for various reasons- the biggest being that I don't have the money to pay the towing fee and I definitely do not have the money to fix my car. I hate asking, but I need all the help I can get right now- especially since my family most definitely will not help me and I don't have anything else I can do. Every little bit helps <3

I forever love the discourse about Adaine potentially living the longest but I don’t put it past our rage-full wizard to die first. I mean punching a dragon to death, putting all her dying friends behind her to face down Porter, frequently dropping while nuking opponents.

(*barrels into your ask box*) NYX hiiiiiiiiiii what a pleasant surprise seeing you in my activity feed! I'm alrighty haha, still into dndads as you can see but I'm not actually particularly active in the fandom these days (you seeing that recent post I'd written on a whim was a funny coincidence, all things considered). :3 And how are you hm??

HI!!!! i get on tumblr truly so infrequently nowadays but last night i got absolutely slammed by a painful burst of affection and longing for my beloved sparrow oak garcia that sent me back into the dndads character tags for the first time in. over a year? maybe? so it truly was the wildest coincidence but not an unpleasant one <33

*squints* Hey just so we're crystal clear, it was Henry who chose to cut off the twins and move to Oakvale post-code purple, not the twins who "abandoned him" or any variant therein. Like this isn't even "grey area up to interpretation"-type shit Lark says it as clearly as you possibly could:

Related and interesting, but ultimately not canon, Will does say in Teen Talk (I don't have the clip on me but it's probably the ep. 47 one, I may retrieve it when it's not time for me to be hitting the hay lol this was a spur of the moment post) that, in his mind, Mercedes would have been the one thing keeping Henry tethered to his sons after Code Purple, and it is after her death that Henry would have finally cut the twins off and moved to Oakvale. While obviously further hammering in the point that who is and who isn't in Henry's life is primarily the result of his choices (he is, after all, a grown-ass adult who can make his own decisions), there is also the heavy implication that Henry would have abandoned Lark and Sparrow (and his grandkids) while they were in mourning. That last point is conjecture based off of something stated outside of canon, no argument there, but it does leave much to think about!

But the actual point of this post is what I've already said: it is blatantly dishonest to attempt to spin Henry's company and relationship to his blood relatives in the present of season 2 (be that his estrangement from his children, his absence from the lives of his grandchildren, or his acceptance of Bear Ry back into his life) as anything other than the natural consequences of his own will and his own decisions, whether you agree with his personal justifications for doing so being irrelevant to this particular discussion and besides the point. Surely all of this can also be found to follow naturally not only from Henry's feelings towards the twins (and especially Sparrow), but from his additional motivations in going to the world the Doodler was sent to; to summarize it poorly: to salvage what he could from the inside (rather than resolve what he could from the outside, or abandon things altogether).

Of course, if you need any further convincing on who tried to keep their loved ones close and who had other priorities, I promise all the evidence you need is readily available

But you have to be willing to see it.

the birthday party he deserved ❤️‍🩹 happy birthday, Will Byers

In my mind it takes place during their college spring break!

I've waited a whole month to finally share this! He would've been the same age as my dad and I'm not quite sure how to feel about this

"I have Ms. Kelly today," Max says, almost bitterly. "You'll be okay at lunch without me?" she says it sarcastically, like a joke, but there's an undercurrent of something else in her voice; for a moment, she almost sounds scared.

Will releases her hand, even as they walk out of the gym doors together. "Works out for me," he tells her, "I have that project for art I have to finish up anyways." He pauses, hesitates. "Will you be okay without me?"

Max takes a breath, and then gives him a shaky smile, one that doesn't quite reach her eyes. "I'll have your tape," she says, wiggling the wires of her headphones. "See you after school."

or: a shared tragedy brings max and will together for their first year of high school in hawkins. they stay together, even as their demons rise again. a s4 rewrite, in which joyce is the one who dies at the end of s3 and thus the byers + el never move.
