isekai where Vecna dominates and only Steve is left behind, he falls into an open portal to the Upside Down and lands in a dark kingdom ruled by a mysterious king.

but it turns out that dark only means not the expected, and one by one Steve finds the kids and Robin again, engaged in being weird and wonderful versions of themselves.

and he finds himself in front of the powerful ruler of this realm, a queerly mystical place that embraces all of those that need refuge, and Steve finds himself falling for this version of Eddie that shelters them all

#twist: it is actually all of them and when Eddie went first in the Upside Down he created this safe place for them #one by one they join him and they live happily in their alternative world #steddie #stranger things #steve harrington #eddie munson #paperbackribs writing

Archive 81 tv show made Melody Pendras straight we cannot trust podcasts in the hands of mainstream media !!!!!!!

#archive 81 #I have mixed feelings about it and as soon as they introduced Gal Pal Annabelle to replace Actual Girlfriend Alexa it should have been a #red flag #conceptually I really liked what they did to flesh out the first season #but they took it in a completely different direction by the end and at that point it’s not even the same thing anymore 🙄 #like you can’t even pick up anything from the original’s season 2 because they reconstructed the narrative so much #idk man its not like they’re going to make any more of it anyways but I still felt the need to come on here and bitch #honestly main stream adaptations of podcasts scare me like I revel in exposure for things I like but ultimately so much gets lost in #translation #like archive 81 podcast is weird and nonsensical at times and Tape Recorder Man’s adventures in the Upside Down just don’t translate to a #general audience ? so they gotta bring in reasons for it to make sense like satanism and witches and demons #when that was sooooooo not the point of the original #like seeing how much they had to adjust to appeal to an outside audience makes me almost glad the wtnv tv show didn’t get green lit #can you imagine ???? how the fuck would they get five headed dragon Hiram McDaniel on my actual television ???? #standing next to a Cecil Palmer with a canon appearance no less #like adaptations are cool and they CAN work sometimes but if you’re going to have to break and bend the world in order to make it to the #point where it’s a new thing entirely #ESPECIALLY since we live in a world where audio drama is not respected as a creative medium #at that point I’m just like leave it alone it’s fine on it’s own #anyways archive 81 is an interesting experiment into what live action podcast adaptations COULD look like but you can pry lesbian Melody #Pendras from my cold dead hands and that makes the adaptation automatically inferior imo #I guess she could be bi but when you remove Canon Girlfriend and instead make her kiss a man ? not likely #I am just talking to hear myself talk now goodbye #max rambles in the tags

I don’t care what anybody says, this avatar globe is the worst change to things. Like, no. The avatar world is flat. There is no solar system, just spirits moving around in the sky. Fight me.

crack theory: what if the abyss twin isn't a descender because they're an ascender?

#you know if the world is like upside down because celestia created gods named after demons... like hell.... #i know this is dumb and that the concept of descender is people who enter the world teyvat is located in right? #but also what if going to the land away from the heavenly principals' eyes and becoming one with the land of the people #counts as not being an outlander #the irminsul is also technically part of the 'light realm' right? #how to make sense of that and the samsara cycles? #supposedly we're living through the fourth cycle (first half) and that cycle is called khraun-arya... similar to khaenri'ah... #the text at the tower of the narzissenkreuz ordo says the human spirit undergoes loss of paradise then defeat of evil dragons then original #sin and baptism and then freedom from the gods #this is massive!!! not only big picture wise but also in the way it perfectly describes the fontaine arc #and khaenri'ah still exists these are very much very similar concepts too #i think the end of our journey might be trying to break the samsara cycles once and for all? as long as they continue then any nation #who disobeys celestia will fall #what does this have to do with my original point? no idea actually agjshs #but what if this isn't like the first time the twins are in teyvat? #also the fact we have a twin and twins is such a common theme in genshin is so!!!! is one of the twins created after the other? #this is too much for my pea brain #please don't take anything of what i said seriously this is just a random post with my thoughts while i was drinking tea #the twins are just so intriguing #it's also curious that there's two shades of phanes we know nothing about #we know of istaroth and the shade of life but there's two left #them there's the weird melusine lines about paimon and the traveller #paimon having a string connecting her beyond the sky wasn't even the most surprising #the melusine saying they see the traveller as a monster that could swallow the world whole in a single bite is so !!!! #i think it's safe to say from the way the twins use the elements that they're above archons in terms of power scaling and hierarchy #whatever that means #paimon being a puppet just wouldn't surprise me but i don't think paimon is fooling us she might just be as clueless as we are tbh #she could even be some sort of being like furina was to egeria as far as we know #okay i'll shut up now because I'm not saying anything that makes sense or actually being productive 😂 #genshin thoughts

once again watching the lost boys and once again struck by how very jason patric-coded billy is which has me once again desperate to write a vampire!au. much to think about.

for some reason i can never trigger the dialogue choice for shadowheart and telling her about your urges as durge so i found it on youtube instead lmao

it's one of the ones that feels more ... idk. caring? probably not the right word ... but concerned. it feels like it comes from a place of understanding rather than trying to brush off durge. it's very much "your thoughts are not a definition of who you are. what you choose to do with your thoughts are"

shadowheart's been shown to take durge with a lot more care, concern, and compassion than most. it probably has something to do with the fact that she has a literal shock collar for when she 'strays' from shar and treats that as the thing that compels her. in her misguided, indoctrinated mind she probably believes she too, is resisting some nasty anti-sharran urges and that the resistance will be enough for her faith or whatever.

this scene just feels different from the other ones where the general vibe felt like "lol just kill villains" or whatever. the others sort of feel like ... when someone tells you to just go meditate or whatever when you tell them you have a mental illness. it's dismissive and doesn't come from a place of understanding.

#ooc. #this scene lives in my head rent free now thanks #also ... i wanna say shadowheart's response to durge in act 2 (if they resist) is the only one where im like 'ok girlie u have reasons' #bc lbr ... she too just had her whole world flipped upside down. nothing makes sense to her. she's seen you kill and seen flickers of you #struggling but also flickers of you 'enjoying' it. she needs things to make sense for her like sooo bad

(adding onto the ask i sent about will eye color changing) they did it gradually too, his eyes got darker the more the possession get stronger, so what you said about flayed!robins eyes losing the usual warmth to them could be literal too since her eyes get slightly darker when the mind flayer first winter soldiered her

ooooh yes!!!

robin's eyes are blue too, so the slow shift from blue eyes to dark brown eyes (and everyone noticing except robin, because the mind flayer is blocking her from registering the change in her own mind)

nancy notices at murray's, after will and robin get burned, nancy begins to notice that while robin still looks normal, something about her is off. and if she looks closely, she can see that robin's eyes are not totally blue anymore, there's a little brown in them now. (she doesn't know what this means, not yet anyways, and not until it's too late.) nancy goes up to robin, in a completely platonic way of course, pulls robin's face down to her level so she can check her eyes and get a good assessment of the situation. robin short-circuits with nancy that close to her. (the mind flayer will use this information for later...)

nancy looks again once robin's fully flayed and the dark brown eyes replacing her blue ones is...well, nancy doesn't know how to describe it. brown eyes are usually so warm, so inviting, but on robin they're cold, and nothing short of evil. when nancy's straddling robin to sedate her, she gets a brief, but still good, look at her eyes. and nancy hates to admit it, but in some evil, fucked up way, robin's reddish brown eyes are...strangely beautiful.

#got mail! 📩 #anon asks #flayed!robin #rebel robin: surviving the upside down #i am a lover of brown eyes actually so <3 #robin buckley #ronance #nancy wheeler #nancy understands the mission and steve and jonathan and hopper are yelling at her to STAB HER already #and robin is thrashing around #nancy--in a moment of lesbianism--grabs robin's face #squishing her cheeks just a little with a iron grip #(the lesbianism outweighs the mind flayer for a brief moment and nancy is able to finally sedate her) #robin has no memory of nancy's iron grip on her jaw. but something about this moment Changed something inside of nancy #(unfortunately nancy will still live inside a little world of comphet for just a little while longer) #sorry lol

I thought I was losing my mind last night. The light in our livingroom shut off and here I just commented to my wife about it and she goes:

"Oh yeah, that was me. I was trying to get your attention."

She was very painful last night (long covid, fibromyalgia) and took her hallucinogenic muscle relaxer... she kept texting me, messaging me on messenger and sent me an audio clip to be a bug. Why? Because she wanted me to get her cereal, and sit with her because her hallucinations are "scary" instead of just going to sleep. Apparently flickering the livingroom light (hooked up to google home) from her phone was to get my attention so that I checked my phone... because I was gaming with a headset on. 🤦‍♀️

I got her cereal and checked on her multiple times to try to get her to sleep. As for the light, in the moment, I thought it was a glitch or something, so I just verbally turned the damn thing back on.

#we live a chaotic life that I would not change for the world but whyyy. #Makes me think of them trying to communicate from the upside down in stranger things. #absolute gremlin energy #Personal

you’re sad about eddie munson’s death because he is your fave. im sad about eddie munson’s death because it reaffirms the suspicion that the writers will never kill off a member of the main party, robbing the story of its stakes. we are not the same.

#This is a JOKE I am JOKING Eddie fans I am sorry for your loss #I am sending you a condolences bouquet as we speak #I also liked Eddie! I wish he lived!!! #it Would’ve been cool to see him interact with the wider cast #Rip Eddie Munson you would’ve LOVED will buers #And el! El and Eddie would’ve been so fun!!! #stranger things #stranger things spoilers #let Jonathan and his friend and Eddie smoke some weed together #Also this isn’t to say the story has no stakes if nobody dies that’s not what I’m saying at all but like #These conflicts are based in world-ending monsters. The writers made super powerful monsters that have a nearly 100% kill rate #People don’t survive the upside down (unless you’re in the party) #So either more rando’s gotta survive (taking away the threat of the monsters which we have established as dangerous) #Or party members gotta die #Like. Stranger things seasons are murder/mysteries save for season 2 which was like an exorcist/possession storyline #And Season 4 EXPLICITLY brings the fight to the party’s doorstep by involving max #You have show a chink in the party’s armor only to reveal they have a writer-created force field around them #I think that’s what bothers me #That they change the status quo by making the party vulnerable and then give el the power to bring back the dead #Like they wanna have their cake and eat it and it makes things kinda sloppy #Again not deal-breakingly sloppy. Not unforgivably bad #But just. Disappointing

At her quip, Randall smiled and pretended to pull the cake away-similar to how a gambler would proudly pull in all the chips they’d won-but he stopped, chuckled, and instead grabbed a knife and cut them a slice each, passing one to Emily before tucking into his own, which was rich and delicate and creamy all at once. He didn’t know how the wizards down in the café did it, but this truly was a job well done, and he’d be sure to leave a generous tip, as a “thank you” for making this grand night of celebration for his angel something special.

His stealing of food and leaving generous tips from his equally-generous salary quickly became a part of the Opera Ghost mythos, once he arrived there: Although there was a lot of debate early on over whether or not ghosts could really eat or if there was somebody else sneaking around stealing food, that was all put to rest when he’d left them a note, complimenting a lunch he’d had (he’d heard someone in the dining room of the café say “my compliments to the chef!”, and so he thought it’d be polite to do the same). From then on, they knew it was the Ghost, who came to dine fairly regularly, and could expect a nice tip in return.

(That was how they could tell when someone else was stealing food-the second party, when they did work there, did not tip when they absconded with things like desserts and fresh baked goods. Needless to say, said second party did not last long there, and was let go after being caught trying to run off with a whole fruit pie the cooks had labored over that day. Good thing too-it was a strawberry pie, and Randall himself had designs on it!)

#((they do deserve it! they especially deserve to have a little genuine peace and quiet; as you said; the calm before the storm!)) #((they had a hell of a time when it came to just getting to leroux and dealing with the whole little leota situation)) #((and they're gonna have ANOTHER hell of a time once the circus comes to town and turns everything upside down)) #((so for now they more than deserve a little domesticity: a quaint village to live in; a quiet little house to call their own)) #((two children playing underfoot...they more than deserve the chance to savor all of that before all hell breaks loose!)) #((and true; it is VERY good that constance isn't the main antagonist here!)) #((i could see her *maybe* considering it...but then deciding against it; too much risk of exposing the truth; y'know)) #((so she'll keep her ax tucked away...for now!)) #((and YES to randall and emily being playful little nerds! i've long felt the banter between these two)) #((has been one of my favorite elements of their relationship to write and i stand by it! i love scenes like these)) #((when they're just bantering and being playful without a care in the world!)) #outofhatboxes #beatingheart-bride #V:Phantasm of the Mansion

if we're talking and the shame was on the other side it makes more sense thematically for will and mike to kiss not in the upside down

#because yeah homophobia is in the real world but they're not gonna live in the upside down for the rest of their lives are they #i havent said anything that would require an explanation but do you know what i mean #very few of these words are in the bible #and like i say: brf slt

[bylertruther]

just had a thought. the religious panic is ramping up going into season five and so is the gay shit which means that mike and will are inevitably going to enter their take me to church by hozier era:

knows everybody's disapproval i should've worshiped her sooner if the heavens ever did speak, she's the last true mouthpiece every sunday's getting more bleak, a fresh poison each week we were "born sick", you heard them say it my church offers no absolutes she tells me "worship in the bedroom" the only heaven i'll be sent to is when i'm alone with you i was born sick, but i love it [..] there is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin in the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene only then i am human only then i am clean

#was in the middle of my sorry attempt to be a Human Being In The World when this song came on #and ofc my brain immediately went to my blorbitos </3 #that last part makes me especially insane btw . #they're already half-way there tbh. mike makes will feel better for being different and will's confession made mike feel like he's worthy #and that he IS loved for who he truly is. that he DOES matter. that he IS needed and important. that he's not worthless. #as soon as mike realizes it's will and it's always been will it's a WRAP! #the upside down/vecna feeds on shame and pain. their love for each other washes away the shame and pain that they feel. #what they feel for each other will literally make them invincible! it's their shield against the darkness! #asking will to be his friend was the best thing mike's ever done. mike's friendship and love makes will feel like he's not a mistake and #it gives him the strength to fight on. it's literally canon. #mike pulled will out of vecna's hold with just his voice and presence. mike's best memory is befriending will. #mike's home isn't a home without will. his life is weird without will. when he's gone or in trouble he goes to the ends of the world to #rescue him and stays by his side the entire time. when he's states away he calls him even if will never answers or calls back. #he NEVER gives up on will. he CAN live without him but he doesn't WANT to. because it's always been will for him. always. #like. they've been giving us the puzzle pieces this entire time. #'that's bullshit media propaganda' + eddie mentioning sodomy in his lunchroom rant #mike will literally not give a single fuck about any of these mouthbreathers calling him a satanist. once he finds out tht will loves him #back? it's ONNNNNNNNNNNNN LIKE ITS OVER HENRY GO HOME!!!!!!! #(i'm exaggerating a little bit bt. u know wht i mean.) #like i jsut . *explodes thinking abt how it's always been abt byler how it started with byler and will end with byler and how s5 #is will's coming of age story which means that he's done hiding from those that he loves he wants to come clean #he wants to tell his truth he destroyed castle byers and outgrew it it isn't enough to live in the world as a lie #he wants to be will byers and as scary as it is to accept that and live that it's . it's what he wants!!! #and he's working towards that he is because he's brave and now that he's going to be surrounded by people who have fought against #impossible odds to save his life time and time again it's liek . it's all going to come together. u kno? #literally how can i think abt all of that and NOT fucking explode . wht th efuck #mine #byler thoughts #writing a gat damn epic poem in this bitch jesus . ok back 2 my cave i go now
