back at it with the terribad request but basically, i (like everyone else in the world) have come off of s2 of stranger things with a great need!! so here i am!! i’m thinking the gang grew up together in staves on the same cul-de- sac and were essentially, the “nerds”. sometime during eighth grade, “the will” went missing in the woods for just over two weeks. it was front page news - you couldn’t turn a street corner or a shop window without seeing his face. the whole town of staves breaking up into search parties and they even went as far as holding a funeral. to the whole world, will was dead.
then one day he appeared on his mothers front step on the verge of hypothermia with no recollection of where he’d been and the town collectively moved past it. i’m thinking he suffered from some sort of ptsd and it kind of put a strain on the relationships between his family and the town.
however, they tried to collectively move past it and it’s been virtually forgotten especially now that they’re older and in college now!! i don’t want to dictate too much of their lives bc we can translate so much of the spooky elements into a rl setting but they’re the best of friends and they have a wolf pack mentality. you never see one of them without the others trailing behind and their old asses probably still try to fit themselves into the old tree house headquarters. they protect each other tooth and nail, fight like cats and dogs but at the end of the day they are bonded together by this traumatic event (and who knows ,maybe the will can have an episode and trigger a hot mess)
soooo yeah!!! they don’t have to be EXACTLY like their show counterparts bc they are children after all but it’d be fun to see them have some similarities and quirks that fit in with who they are on the show!! also dynamics and romantic entanglements and those sorts of things don’t have to align with the show if thats not your thing!!
the tiny tots (mike, dustin, lucas, eleven, will, max) should be around 21-23 since i want to keep the same sort of age dynamics they have with the rest of the gang!! people like the nancy, jonathan and steve (and billy i guess lol) i figure would be mid to late twenties and the joyce + hopper would be in their thirties!! pls take them pls and thx!!
what does the tag need? another huge family request? you’re welcome xoxo
tw: parental death
so this is a request for siblings for my john krasinski - hope you saw how creative i got with his surname. they’re kids of an irish mother, maura, and the son of a large polish, jewish immigrant family, bartholemew. so my john is called cormac dubanowski cos… all the heritage.
buuut, when mac was seven, maura and bart were in a car accident and maura died and bart was severely disabled from that point on. so the kids all moved in with their paternal grandparents. and it was kind of crazy - great but crazy. they owned a restaurant (which all the kids worked at, at one point or another) and they were all crammed into a tiny little town house where they all shared rooms and their aunt’s family lived next door and their other aunt’s family lived a couple of doors down, and their other aunt sometimes needed a bed so one of them had to sleep on the floor, and basically they were this huge, crazy, busy family.
imagine the polish-jewish version of my big fat greek wedding. no privacy, expectation to stay in the family business, and marry and produce great grand-babies, and to always be home for all holidays. and to be gossiped about by their gran and all her friends who would over-zealously feed all the kids and their friends whenever they had the opportunity to. like …violent feeding. and be prepared to be whacked by a dishcloth if you said the wrong thing at family meals - whether the kids were 10 or 30… their gran isn’t gonna hold back.
so enough of me rambling on but please make siblings!! ages are a rough guide and if anyone wants to just add someone i’m open to it! just please give me a mix of genders!
as for mac, he went to college and studied and had a reputable job, but then he quit it and joined the army, which his grandparents aren’t keen on, but you know, whatever you wanna do. i’m flexible!!

another low key not even real request - anyone want to play twin 21 year old daughters for my ryan reynolds??? thinking they still live at home (cos who can actually afford to move out at 21) and their mum isn’t in the picture (or will she crop back up???) bonus points if one of them is a science nerd too.
