i log in, i post a bit about nancy, post a gifset, and leave.

thinking about how nancy steps into the 'third parent' role when holly is born, given that she's 13/14 at the time. from the time she was 4/5, nancy has been just an older sister, but it isn't until holly comes along that that shifts within the wheeler home. karen gives her eldest more responsibility, even without intending to, and nancy not wanting to get into trouble herself, or make her mom feel bad, takes it on. she takes on extra chores, offering to babysit when she starts high school. nancy has always been the responsible one, the cliche oldest daughter, who never gets a chance to be a teenager or to have a normal life, even without the monsters.

i'll probs add to this as more thoughts come to me, i just am thinking about my girl.

thinking abt nancy and barb

[nancewheelr]

nancy has the smallest bit of hearing loss btw. if she asks your muse to repeat something for anything past s4, it's not because she's not paying attention, she genuinely didn't catch it.

she also has some shoulder pain, but it's nothing that hinders her; it usually sparks up if she's actively doing something.

years of gun usage will do that.

Wheeler siblings as the Baudelaires AU

At some point I just realized how much the Wheelers remind me of the Baudelaires! I can’t quite explain it, the thought just got stuck in the back of my mind and stayed there... So I started thinking: what if the Wheeler house burned down one day? No, they don't have to be orphans! Let’s just say Ted and Karen ended up in the hospital. And instead of moving from one guardian to another, they get taken in by the Byers? Unlike Lemony Snicket, I actually like happy endings lol. I just wanted to capture that slightly eerie vibe with the the Wheeler kids.

a tender glimpse beneath the surface

❝ i'll always protect you. ❞

❝ i never meant to get this close, but now that i have i can't let you go. ❞

❝ i live for the moments when you look at me. the rest of the time i'm just existing. ❞

❝ i don't like how you make me feel. but i like not being around you even less. ❞

❝ i wish you wouldn't look at me like that. when you look at me like that i...it makes me wanna do things i shouldn't ❞

❝ there's no line i wouldn't cross for you. don't you realize that? ❞

❝ i did this for you. no one else. ❞

❝ i don't like it, but i'll do it for you. ❞

❝ i wonder how much of myself i'll have to give to you—how much i have to lay bare—before you realize how much you're taking. ❞

❝ i'm not trying to fix you. i'm just trying to be your friend. ❞

❝ i'm not um, real good at thank yous. or sorry's. but if you ever need me, i'm there. i owe you one. ❞

❝ i've seen you at your worst and i'm still standing here. ❞

❝ you've seen me at my worst but you're still here... ❞

❝ you can be mad at me, i can take it. i'd rather you be angry than shut me out. ❞

❝ i'm not angry, i'm just scared. ❞

❝ i know you love me, but do you like me? ❞

❝ do you think i'm a good person? ❞

❝ do you think i care for you so little that betraying me would make a difference? of course i'm helping you. ❞

❝ tell me what i can do to show you how i love you. i will give you anything you ask for. ❞

❝ you don't have to keep apologizing. just be here. day in and day out and prove that you're gonna keep showing up. that's all you have to do. ❞

❝ i only sleep well when you're next to me. ❞

❝ i don't want an apology i just want to understand. ❞

❝ i could actually use a hug right now. ❞

❝ i want everyone else to go away, but you can stay. ❞

❝ i actually do care what you think about. you're probably one of the only people whose opinion matters to me. ❞

❝ you always seem to know what i need. ❞

❝ you always seem to know just what i need to hear. ❞

❝ i want you to call me when you need someone. i want to be here for you. ❞

❝ you're the one i wanna call when i need someone. ❞

❝ seems like i always want you around when everything feels all fucked up. guess that means something. ❞
