Cassette Crash Course

Hey, I made something for you Stranger Things fic writers who have never seen an audiocassette in person before.

youtube

It's mostly unscripted (I've got some notes for the second one but the first one is kind of rambly) and totally unedited (I was deliberately going for low-effort because to be maybe a little too honest I was tired and depressed in both of these but it was still something I wanted to do so I worked through it) but...

I made you guys a couple of videos where I talk about audiocassettes (and touch on a few things like VHS tapes and video rental places and just...stuff that really helps to know if you're writing fanfiction (or even original fiction) set in the '80s.

If you want to write without doing research, like if you're just here to have low-effort fun without thinking too hard, I'm definitely not going to judge you for that. Look how low-effort these videos are. The important thing is that you're having fun.

But if you're like me and you WANT to do research for these things but have trouble finding information? This is for you guys. I even brought out my cassette collection as a visual aid.

Also, there's no rule that you have to ship the same shit I do to get something out of this. For instance, I ship Steddie. You ship Hellcheer? This is for you, too. I ship Byler, but I'm not gatekeeping Mileven writers from using this. I'm not even gatekeeping other fandoms. You wanna write Reddie from It? Rymin from Infinity Train? Original fiction? This might help you, too. While it's catered to Stranger Things, that only really comes up a few times. Most of it is just general tape info spoken into a low-quality laptop microphone while my heater goes off every five minutes in the background.

Also, I'm open to answering questions or, like, taking clearer pictures of things if you need them. I know the laptop webcam isn't exactly high definition.

Hope this helps at least someone. Happy writing.

#stranger things #'80s nostalgia #'90s nostalgia #writing reference #I know no one cares about my face but it was genuinely easier to do it from this angle.#I wanted to have it just be a shot of my hands but the idea of setting up mirrors to see my screen from that angle?#Ugh. Too much effort for something I didn't want to spend much effort on in the first place.#I was VERY tired making BOTH of these.#Gotta use the spoons on other things y'know?#Youtube

Horror isekai where Perceiving the Weird Eldritch Thing gets you catapulted into a nightmare labyrinth of puzzle-solving.

I.e Those Who Perceive The Hunt of the Goblin King Must Partake In The Labyrinth and Can Only Be Freed If They Complete It In One Day and One Night. By Fae Law. For Reasons.

But the definition of “perception” clearly needs to be updated because some normal guy simply films the Hunt of the Goblin King Behind Arby’s, and puts it on Facebook -

No, not instagram or TikTok, it’s important that it be Facebook -

Because the rules are pretty clear, “the rules are the rules” as is carved ominously in elvish runes above the grim gate, and the Contract is Sealed. and so therefore the guy and 25 of their most random real-life acquaintances must run the gauntlet together. It’s Some Guy, their immediate neighbors, their first partner’s mom, their friends from hobby Facebook groups (oh this poor guy and their hobbies; the elderly birdwatchers from Facebook and the young up-and-coming drag king community), their random teen kid niece, college friends, a dog who also watched the video, a couple consisting of a woman who is the guy’s Facebook friend and showed her husband the video, and the husband doesn’t even know Some Guy, so he’s in the labyrinth and absolutely furious about being forced to be involved, and they proceed to break up over the course of the puzzle.

It’s important that the narrative keeps trying to be a sexy dark horror isekai! but within this the comedic reality of Catherine, 52, the guy’s horse-riding instructor, being passionately involved in escape-room-style puzzle solving and grappling with minor goblins. They are in fact speedrunning the gauntlet.

The Goblin King finally has to say: all right, actually, I only really set all this up to fuck with one (1) guy at a time, thanks for your willingness to participate, but I think all 25 of you can consider the gauntlet fully run.

And the group would be quite hurt by that. The rules are the rules. We have a contract, actually. Let Catherine cook.

#this feels extremely like… 2015 tumblr to me #but it also feels a sort of comforting honesty in this time #thank you for giving me this safe space #this plot idea just feels like some kind of nostalgia . to me.#writing it out I felt like I knew it was unfashionably written AND YET #I was thinking last night about how Stranger Things works quite #well because it’s set in the 80s… it is load-bearing that it be set in the 80s… it’s plot relevant and worldbuilding #well for some reason this plot has to be set pre-pandemic post-impact-text-memes
