R: "god you always roll the best tight and perfect roll ups mmm" Tobias couldnt help but chuckle at the satisfying sounds that came from a now high Ruby, her cheeks were flushed and her lips seemed to not stray from a small smile. this is what he loved seeing.. he loved seeing her happy and content even if it was for the moment temporarily.

T: "pretty lil pothead." Ruby opened her eye only halfway, slowly bringing her leg up to rub against Tobias arm as he settled down by her. a small chuckled left her lips and her head titled at him. R: "you got a haircut.." tobias raised a brow and let out a laugh "yes ahaha last week. if you weren't such a hermit you would have seen it by now." Ruby chose to ignore the hermit reference and hummed "it looks good..." Tobias eyes flashed and finally took a moment to feel her foot caressing against his arm. "she wants something.."

The two smoked another roll up, or many for that fact as time skipped them rather quickly. before they knew it the two woke up around 2am.. everything still on, music subtly playing in the background. Tobias was the first to wake up.. feeling the comforting weight of Ruby ontop of him coiled around him, with subtle snores leaving her.. She was peaceful, sound asleep and Tobias didn't want to dare to wake her up.. knowing quite well that this might have the first time she didn't wake up repeatedly throughout the night. But it was late and it felt as if it was a bad idea for him to stay here tonight. T: "Ruby..."

T: "hey.. i should get going." a subtle stir and groan escaped her sleeping lips only for her to wrap her arms tighter around him and begin to fall back asleep. T: "ruby." R: "huh? what ?? im sleeping on a cloud shhhhhh." Tobias let out a laugh and placed a small kiss to her forehead T: She is so fucking adorable... Its not a cloud its me.. Tobias.. and i think i should start heading home."

Ruby collected herself and slowly forced herself up scooting off of him a bit sluggish-like. groaning at whatever was annoying her at that moment. Tobias followed leading them towards the door only to stop halfway and turn around to give Ruby another hug. She accepted it and sighed into the crease of his neck.

He let out a deep breath when he felt her lips trail up the side of his neck to his ear, she lightly nibbled on it before whispering. R: "Stay... I want you to stay.." Tobias felt his breath hitch at her words.. she always had a way of him going against his own wishes and leading with his heart instead of his head. Of course, he didn't want to leave.. he wanted to stay right here.. and with how Ruby was acting, he knew exactly what she meant by those words.

mmmmmmm (you already know what this link is.. so 18+ up in here)

so reading through the new zine and wow. it's weirdly beautiful in a way that speaks to me a lot. growing up between one half of my family being catholic and the other being baptist (don't ask, they do hate each other) I was always expected to go to the big wig church events when visiting extended family. Mind you, my parents have disconnected themselves from religion, and so did I after a while. I wouldn't say I've been religiously traumatized in a way, but growing up always knowing I was different in some way compared to all the people in the churches around me did something to my mind. And as I found out I was pan, it dawned on me what it meant. I don't go to many church events with extended family for that reason afterwards, but it wrecks my mind in a way.

How can religions- specifically Christianity and all sorts of branching roots and such- claim to be about love and peace, yet so many people be hateful? How can a story about a man who was so unabashedly good- so much so to the point where he's arguably influenced major history events- be the reason for many peoples' prejudice? It's a question I ask myself on the daily. Maybe it's better for me to think less about it.

I dunno, these are all my weird ramblings going on about stuff while reading your Zine. I did genuinely enjoy it though. I suppose making me conjure up all these thoughts does actually do a great service, so compliments, I guess? I dunno.

I'm really glad my zine connected with you!!! I put religious trauma as a warning for people but honestly,,,,I don't know if I can classify myself as traumatized by religion. More like my trauma influenced my perception of religion.

I have a very strange relationship with things where I was raised catholic but my family was never strictly religious. We went to church most sundays but my mom complained about finding a new priest if it was too long or too preachy, and my dad never went to communion and never really explained why outside of not feeling the need to and we were all chill with that. We openly criticized the institution of the catholic church and were really left leaning politically. When Pope Benedict was chosen as the new Pope I was a little kid and watching the news with my uncle. He was a pothead retired DJ who spent half the year living with my grandma and I remember asking him "who's the new Pope?" and he told me "Benny the Rat." and I nodded like I understood what that meant and just thought it was super funny. I luckily never had any super right wing religious people I knew or encountered growing up. In highschool we had the rare conservative teacher but everyone rolled their eyes at them. After a while I just kinda came to terms with "idk what it is strictly out there, I just think it's nice thinking there are things we can't explain and the universe is full of lots of different beasties who can do things and it's much more fun and makes things a lot more interesting that way"

I've noticed quite a bit of changes about me and quite a few things that remain the same.

Changes:

- First of all, I'm no longer a pro-harassment anti-shipper. It doesn't solve the issue at all, it's better to either try and educate them or just block, report, spread awareness and move on. I still hate the fuck out of pro-shippers though, they will never get my respect.

- I don't simp over Sniper anymore. Or any of the TF2 characters really, I kinda fell out of that whole hyperfixation. Now I just simp over COD MW2 men and keep going back and forth between Dying Light and Skyrim hyperfixations ahdhfhwkdh

- Man idk, something in my brain kinda just fucking clicked at how unhinged I used to be. I need to tone that shit the fuck down 😭

- I'm a fucking Wiccan now. Witchy things go brrrr, it's a lot of fun!

- I'm likely not going to be role-playing anymore unless I'm super close with the person. There was some discourse I got into on Instagram that carried over to Discord and it ruined the whole thing for me.

Same:

- I'm still gonna simp hard over men. Not as intensely and obscene as I used to, but it's still gonna be there.

- I'm still gonna be a pothead. Funny hehe plant, I'm gonna get a medical card for it sometime next month after I turn 18

- I'm still Jade. I'm still a genderfluid/nonbinary person. That's a definitive and unchanging truth. It took me forever to accept myself for who I am, but I feel like I'm finally at peace.

Anyways, sorry for the whole ramble, I felt like I just wanted to get all this off my chest.

plugrry finding out your boyfriend doesn't treat you very well... maybe he's at a party youre at w your bf and ofc harry is watching you the whole time, he sees you and your bf arguing in the corner and your bf is clearly very angry about something, you start to walk away and he grabs your arm hard enough that it must hurt and pulls you back, and harry is not about to have that so he's making his way over calling your name and saying "it's been so long since I've seen you! how's it going?" and your bf is acting all nice bc he's lowkey scared of harry, so he immediately lets go of your arm and plasters a smile on his face but harry sees right through it. harry ignores him though, keeping his eyes on you when he says "I was just gonna get a refill, why don't you come with me?" and your bf starts to argue but harry just shoots him a look and he seems to get the message and backs off 😌 he slinks away to go talk to his shitty friends and harry holds out his hand for you to take and then leads you to the kitchen where it's quiet. he gets to work pouring right away while you settle onto one of the barstools and put your chin in your hands to watch him, and it's such a peaceful moment 😔then harry says "it's not okay... the way he treats you, i mean. it's not okay for him to act like that and it's not okay for him to put his hands on you" and he looks up, but your eyes stay on the cups he's pouring, too emotional to look at him, but you nod a little bit and say "i know" in a quiet voice. he's silent for a minute before he says "why are you with him?" and you shrug a little bit, and he hears a quiet sniffle and he knows you're crying 😔 he comes around the side of the counter to hug you, your face tucked against his chest as he holds you 😔 you hear the door swing open and you flinch a little bit, but harry just strokes your hair to settle you 😔 then you hear your bf's voice and he's so mad, he says "seriously? i leave you alone for one minute and you're all over him? i knew you had a thing for him, honestly you're such a-" and harry interrupts him, saying "do not finish that sentence... you can leave, you're not wanted here" and you hear him stepping closer so you're trying to pull away so you can face him, harry lets go of you but you regret it a little when you see how mad your bf looks, and it's all focused on you. he says "really? you're going to let this guy tell me what to do?" and you don't answer, not bothering to give him any more emotion than you already have, and he just huffs and turns to harry saying "fine, you can have her, it's not like she puts out anyways" and Harry's voice is low when he says "you need get the fuck out" and your (now ex) bf smirks a little, saying "yeah? what are you gonna do?" and harry takes a step closer, saying "I asked you nicely, now I'm telling you- you need to leave, right fucking now" and he seems to realize that Harry's a lot bigger than him, and that this won't end well if he keeps pissing harry off, so he turns back to you and says "when he leaves you for some other useless pothead, don't come crawling back to me" and then he's gone. and right away you're in tears, harry is rushing over to you and crouching down to look at you, he's apologizing and saying "I'm so sorry, im so sorry he said that, it's not true at all... he's a piece of shit and nothing he says matters, okay? he's not gonna bother you anymore, hm?" and you nod, leaning against him when he puts his arms around you 😔 he says "why don't we get out of here?" and he keeps his arm around you the whole time 😔 he brings you back to his place bc you don't want to be alone, and you end up falling asleep on his couch 😔 he carries you to his bed so you'll be comfortable, and then he goes to sleep on the couch knowing you can talk more in the morning, and he's just so glad his girl if free of that guy he's always hated 😔

OH MY GODDDDDDDD 😭😭😭 OH IM SO SADDDDDDD PLEASEEEEEE HE WOULD BE SOOO COMFORTING AND SWEET AND THE BEST EVERRRR ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU WOKE UP THE NEXT DAY UPSET FCUXKSKSKKS 😭😭😭

A Quick Guide to Writing Weed for Non-Stoners

Hey guys! If you’re trying to write drug-use fanfics and you’ve never actually smoked weed, here are some details about its culture and physical effects:

Historically Accurate 80′s “Nicknames” for Stoners: Head, Burnout, Blazer, Toker, Doper, Pothead. Space Cowboy wasn’t popular but it was around.

Historically Accurate Nicknames for Weed: Dope, grass, the Devil’s Lettuce, Mary Jane, Thirteen, flower (only if it’s in bud form), bud, keef (the super fine powder at the bottom of the grinder).

Weed smoking implements:

Bong (it’s made of glass and it looks like a vase, the smoke is pulled down a pipe and through a small water chamber to remove any bits of burning debris before it hits your lungs).

Pipe (small, usually made of glass, but people have smoked weed out of pumpkins, apples, pop bottles, shoes... stoners are weird, man. when you smoke from a pipe you use your thumb to cover the carb/side hole and tilt the bowl to the side so you can light it without burning your fingers).

Joint/Blunt (weed wrapped in some kind of paper and lit light a cigarette).

Other terms for “smoking/inhaling”: Toking up, taking fat rips or taking a rip, hitting the pipe/the bong.

Etiquette:

Puff Puff Pass (you take two hits and you hand it to the person on your left)

Bud up or shut up (don’t hold it in your hand and talk for 4 minutes, hit it or pass it on)

Snacks or Grass (either bring weed to share or bring food and drinks to pass around, but don’t show up to smoke with someone empty-handed, it’s super fuckin’ rude)

Other important facts:

It is not a hallucinogen. Weed should not be giving you any sort of visual hallucinations. If you smoke marijuana and the walls start to melt, go to the fucking hospital because your shit has been laced.

The munchies are very real but some people have it worse than others.

If you get sick after smoking too much/eating too many edibles it’s called “greening out”.

Drink. Hella. Water. Smoking dehydrates you can give people cottonmouth. Drinking lots of water prevents both of those things and keeps you from getting a headache or greening out.

Anyway, hope this helps!

Peace.

When You Wake Up, Will You Walk Out? Chapter 7

Eddie Munson x Cheerleader!Reader (note: reader is over the age of 18)

WARNINGS: 18+ (minors dni!)

Table of Contents | My Masterlist | AO3 Link

Eddie didn’t show up to school the next day. A twisting, sinking feeling settled in your stomach at the realization that it was probably because of you.

You broke his heart, hissed the vindictive voice in your head. And for what?

For what, indeed.

Just as Eddie was likely avoiding you, so too were you avoiding Jason.

He had told you to take as long as you needed, but you knew better. Jason wasn’t a patient man, and he’d probably track you down by the end of the day looking for an answer.

You skipped your final class of the day and trekked out to the woods behind the school, hoping to find Eddie there.

Though you tried to calm your turbulent mind, your dilemma had you reeling to the point where you were unaware of your surroundings.

When you finally arrived at the secluded picnic table, you were startled to find someone already sitting there.

Chrissy jumped out of her seat, her doe eyes wide as if caught in the headlights of a car.

“Christ!” she shrieked, clasping a hand to her chest and laughing a little. “You nearly gave me a heart attack!”

“Sorry,” you muttered, wincing apologetically.

“Are you here to see Eddie too?”

You froze at her words as Eddie’s bounced around in your head once more.

“Maybe I’ll ask Chrissy Cunningham to be my date instead. I’ve heard she’s a lot more pleasant to be around.”

Maybe he really had meant it.

In your stunned silence, Chrissy shuffled back and forth uncomfortably, glancing down to the ground and back up to you.

“I didn’t- I’m not like a pothead or anything, okay? I’m just picking some up as a favor for Patrick.”

Chrissy had mistakenly assumed your agape expression was one of judgment rather than one of jealousy.

You gave her a quick grin and threw up your hands to show you came in peace. “No judgment here either way. Is Eddie around? I was thinking about buying too.”

The lie fell easily off your lips. Chrissy visibly relaxed and shook her head.

“I’ve been waiting here since the end of last period, but no such luck. He’s normally out here after 2:00 — from what I’ve heard, anyway,” she quickly qualified. “Although there is that Battle of the Bands thing tonight, maybe he’s practicing for that?”

It was Friday. Of course. He wasn’t missing school for you.

You’re not worth missing school for, hissed the voice in your head again.

“Ah, okay,” you replied awkwardly. “I’ll just… go then.”

You turned to leave.

“Wait!” she called out a little too loudly.

Turning back around, you furrowed your brows at her in confusion.

“I, um…” she stammered, looking bashfully at the ground. “I’ve actually been wanting to talk to you. I haven’t been able to get a moment with you at cheer practice, and… well, honestly, I chickened out a few times.”

Walking back, you sat across from her at the table.

“Uh, okay. Sure. What did you want to talk about?”

Chrissy shifted in her seat, and for a moment you thought she would change her mind again.

“I’m sorry about Jason,” she blurted out, eyes wide like even she was surprised at her words.

“Um, it’s-”

“Don’t say it’s okay because it’s not.” Surprised by her boldness, you closed your mouth. “I just wanted to explain because it’s not what you think.”

You bit your lip with chagrin, but stayed silent.

“The night of Andy’s party Jason was hitting on me, but I knew the two of you were together and I told him that. But he told me that you had broken up weeks before that because you cheated on him.”

Your jaw dropped. “That bastard!”

“Right?!” she agreed, nodding encouragingly. “And I believed him, and truthfully I was more than a little drunk that night, and one thing led to another…”

She trailed off with a wince before continuing. “Anyway, I didn’t know what had really happened, but then Marcia told me you ran off crying at Andy’s party. And when I asked Jason about it, he told me what actually happened and I broke things off with him.”

You were stupefied. As you floundered, she reached across the table and grabbed your hand.

“All this to say, I’m really sorry and I wouldn’t have dated him if I knew what really happened. I hope you can forgive me.”

Finally, you managed a slow nod and a smile. “Yeah. Yeah, of course.”

Chrissy beamed back at you — a blinding, beautiful smile — and in that moment you could forgive Jason for wanting her. Looking at her was like looking at the sun.

“Thank you. Maybe we can hang out sometime after practice? See a movie or something?” she suggested, standing up and slinging her backpack over her shoulders.

Nodding, you smiled warmly back at her. “I’d really like that.”

After she walked away, you stayed on the bench for a few minutes. You knew what you had to do — what you wanted to do. The conversation with Chrissy hadn’t changed your decision, but rather revealed it to you.

Gathering your things, you set off back toward the school.

By the time you returned, the final bell had already rung. You should have been in the locker room getting ready for cheer practice, but you were planning on skipping today.

Instead, you stalked over to the basketball courts where Jason and his teammates were currently scrimmaging.

When Jason caught sight of you he smiled, but it quickly fell as he took in the stormy look on your face.

“Chrissy just told me something really interesting,” you started, baring your teeth into a manic grin. “Apparently I cheated on you, and we broke up weeks before Andy’s party! I wonder where she got that idea?”

Sensing your impending rage, Jason put up his hands in both surrender and defense.

“Honey…”

“Yes, sweetie pie?” you responded acerbically. The rest of the team had stopped playing and was now watching the spectacle.

Noticing this, Jason lowered his voice.

“Why don’t we go somewhere private and talk-”

“Oh, no no no,” you laughed darkly. “You’re not talking your way out of this one, asshole. I just wanted to stop by to say that, from the bottom of my heart, I hope you and your tiny dick rot in hell.”

You flipped him off to a chorus of oohs from the basketball team. Turning on your heel, you strode out of the gym without giving him another thought.

You had a concert to attend.

Could I please be shipped with ST character? :)

I’m 5’6, have dark curly hair, blue/green eyes, curvy and lots of patchwork tattoos! I’m a contemporary artist with a huge love of music. I collect vinyls and listen to everything music wise but mostly rock/grunge/psych/punk/funk/metal! I’m a massive book and comic worm too. I’m a bit of pothead and dress different day to day depending on the vibe. Although I love walks in nature and spending time alone at home watching movies (particularly a horror/zombie fan), I am an extroverted introvert and love spending time partying and travelling with my friends. I’d say I’m somewhere in between a class clown and crazy cat lady aunt. I’m super ambitious, an open book, smart but for like really random things, creative and care very deeply for people and all beings of this earth but I’m of the “do no harm but take no shit” category of peaceful and will protect those I love fiercely! That said, I’m very forgiving :) I am an aries sun and rising and a taurus moon!

Thank you so much! Have a lovely day! ~

(i love your vibes can we be friends plz lmaooo)

ok yeah you and eddie would be soooo perfect. he'd be fuckin obsessed with you and think ur the coolest thing since sliced bread. he'd love how vast your interests are, always asking you for details about random stuff cuz he'd know you'd know the answer. he'd invite u to his shows, making silly faces at u from the stage, sometimes giving shout outs to "his girl" in front of everyone.

you guys would have so much fun together- everything would be an adventure, even just going to the movies or a chill walk, and you'd never run out of things to talk about. he'd love that you can make him laugh til his stomach hurts, always making him feel better when he's in one of his pissy moods.

you'd have endless nights just smoking and laughing at campy horror movies, eating good food and yea, fuckin like crazy too. he'd love the unique way you dress and would be excited to see whatever look u come up with next, proud to show u off to anyone he crosses paths with. 💋

Just finished Season 4 volume 1 and hooo boy.

Spoiler warning, and there’s a lot here, so scroll past now or forever hold your peace yadda yadda yadda.

Henry Creel and parallels

So, right off the bat, Henry Creel is paralleled with both Will and El in his backstory episode. He’s sensitive, artistically inclined, shy. He’s labeled “broken”. But he’s also cruel in ways no other character is. (Yes, I know, antis, I can hear you from here, but hush.) He torments innocent animals simply because he can, and he sees all humans as parasites and him as the only righteous one. Now, I don’t think Henry was broken and evil from birth, but even people raised with everything can become evil. I don’t know what made him that way.

My guess would be that he looked up to his parents, especially his father. But when he saw what his father had done, colored by the lens of his father’s own guilt, he lost that trust in his father and subsequently all of humanity. And when he chooses his victims as Vecna, he chooses those most wracked by guilt (often because these characters blame themselves for their own trauma).

Will and Billy as Vecna’s victims

Others have said this, but Will and Billy were both Vecna’s victims. It’s not as overt for either of them as it is later on, but it connects. Will was also traumatized, by Lonnie. However, Will survives the Upside Down by singing his favorite song. I don’t remember any bells or clock chimes, I’ll need to do a rewatch. His connection to Vecna is the most weak.

Unfortunately, Billy does not have the chance to be saved like Will does. But Billy sees his double in the Upside Down. I think this means that Billy’s greatest source of fear and guilt is himself. He blames himself for his mother leaving, for never being good enough for Neil, he’s afraid of becoming just like Neil but doesn’t know what else to do. There are bells or clock chimes when he is being possessed (someone else found those, it’s during S3 E2, when he’s stumbling to the shower).

Religious Imagery

Secondly, I have a lot of thoughts about the uses of religious imagery in this season, but I’m putting those in a reblog I’ll make later. Huge credit to @strangerthings4theories and @patheticnature pointing those out. I would like to add that Jason gives off “charismatic preacher” vibes, which immediately made me distrust him.

Steve, Nancy, and Jonathan

I’m putting these three all together because my points for them all connect.

I’m disappointed that Jonathan has been reduced to “Will’s pothead older brother.” The writers took legitimately good character motives, like Jonathan being afraid of holding Nancy back and not wanting to be like his dad, and used those lines as jokes. They could have had a genuinely interesting plot point with Jonathan using weed as a way to cope with the stress of everything, but they abandoned that too.

I love Nancy, she’s awesome, she’s brilliant. Watching her figure out that the Upside Down is stuck in the past was such a shock. But we never saw her escape Vecna’s curse. My guess is that she’s gonna wind up flayed in Volume 2. I’m worried for her.

But why are we having Stancy shoved on us again? I really liked Nancy and Jonathan together in past seasons, because I felt like they were a good team. But going back to the Season 1 dynamic feels like undoing character growth. It puts Steve right back where he was early in Season 2, pining for Nancy. And he’s clearly not over their breakup in Season 3, it hurt him deeply. But he deserves to have a character arc outside of romance, and I feel like we had that with Season 2 and 3.

In case it wasn’t obvious, Steve is my favorite of these three. But I’m so worried for him. I adore him, but he has no sense of self-preservation. He got bitten so many times by those demobats, and the previous vampire references make me worry he’ll end up semi-flayed. Not that I wouldn’t be down for Vampire!Steve, but I don’t want to lose him too.

Also we were robbed of seeing lifeguard Steve. What do you mean, he worked as a lifeguard for three years and then just… didn’t do that again over Season 3? Was he too shaken by Barb’s death to lifeguard?

Russia Arc

Did this arc feel weak to anyone else? It had a few compelling moments, like Hopper hiding in the church and talking to Antonov (or Enzo, take your pick), and the demogorgon fight was kind of fun. But it just felt like a lot of “Hopper gets beat up, knocked unconscious, dragged around, and beat up some more.” I think they could have done better.

Also, it feels very out of character for Joyce to run off and leave her kids like that, especially for her to lie to them. Why not just tell them “hey, we think Hopper might be alive, and we’re gonna follow a lead”?

I feel like more could have been done with this, and I thought “oh, Joyce just didn’t see Hopper” was lazy writing. Why not have him get sucked into the rift and spat out in Russia? That would have been more believable.

California Gang

I’ve already talked about some of my issues with how Jonathan’s being handled. Argyle has his funny moments though, and I loved that about him, and I loved meeting Suzie’s family (I loved how smitten Argyle was with Eden, and of course he was, she’s very pretty). I do wonder if Will’s birthday getting completely ignored is going to be addressed. But beyond that, I found it hard to care?? Maybe it’s just me personally.

El getting her powers back

I’m going to go into a more meta post about how central El is to the story later, but I felt like she lacked pizzazz for much of the season. I loved her early on, and seeing her bullied so relentlessly hurt a lot, especially since there were implications that these kids thought El had a learning disability (is that the correct term?). She was so sweet and wanted to make friends.

I understand how important dealing with her past was to the plot, but I’m tired of El being a lab rat and seeing her stripped of her identity just to be a hero. Because that’s all that most people see her as: not as a teenager, not as a trauma victim, not as a person, just a convenient way to save the day. And when the writers shove El back into her role of superhero, she loses some of what I loved most about her in Season 3, her personality, joy, and energy. It’s like she’s sapped of all that to be nothing more than their puppet.

Eddie

I did not expect to like Eddie. I thought he would be nothing more than a cookie cutter Billy replacement. Up until the scene in the woods with Chrissy, I hated him. But after that scene, he became goofy, lovable, and so out of his depth that I wanted to hug him.

I don’t know if he’ll survive the season, though. I want him to, but I don’t know if he will. Characters introduced for only a season typically die. We haven’t seen that clip of him from the trailer yet, the one of him drawing a swarm of demobats. He could die like that, or he might wind up as a puppet.

Max

Oh my gosh, Sadie’s acting was phenomenal this season! I’m glad that Max is responding to trauma in a way that feels realistic. I don’t have experience with the kind of loss Max deals with, but it feels authentic. So glad she has her friends that come through when it counts.

I think she’s downplayed how messed-up her family situation is, though. Neil canonically verbally and physically abused Billy, and suddenly he can’t stand to be around without Billy? That doesn’t make sense to me. Did he die, drink himself into oblivion? Did he start beating Susan? And now Susan is struggling with an alcohol addiction, but at least she still cares about Max. She never stood up for Billy, but at least she’s not become a horrible mother.

The cinematography of Dear Billy was phenomenal. I know everyone loves the “Running Up That Hill” scene, and they should, because it’s So Good. But the scene with Vecna isn’t getting nearly enough attention. She gets grabbed by a tentacle and dragged across the floor, just like Billy in Season 3. The look on her face when his hand is over her face is exactly what I envisioned Billy like before he was possessed by the Mind Flayer.

Dear Billy

In case it wasn’t clear enough already, I love Billy so much and not seeing him this season was crushing. His absence left a noticeable hole in the story. No one acknowledged that Max saw her own brother die in front of her, and then they wondered why she was suffering.

When we do see Billy again, it’s not even him, it’s Vecna using him. Or so we think. If it’s just Vecna, why did he cry? Why was his chest healed and not a mess of open wounds? The whole story feels like at the very least Max has a lot of healing and grieving left to do, and at best, Billy will return to make things right.

Seeing Max and Eddie constantly having people support them is wonderful, but it also hurts to know that Billy was so isolated from them all. It’s like he was stuck in the worst case scenario the entire show. Every time the others have someone watching their backs or showing them they care, all I can remember is how no one tried to help Billy until it was too late, and it’s like a knife to the gut every time.

Hi♡

(English is not my first language. Also, this is very long, sorry)

Can I have a SallyFace matchup please? I am bisexual, female, 5'9. I have waist-length blonde hair, a side bang that cover most of my right eye, blue eyes, and pale skin. Kind of introverted but I get along with other people easily as long as they aren't complete assh*les. I seem grumpy most of the time, if you spend time with me you'll see that I'm really friendly though. I make stupid jokes real often, but I'm great at having serious conversations in private too (my friends would always come to me to talk about their problems and stuff). I need someone to get me out of fights every now and then. Calling everyone bro, dude or mate all the time. Playfully flirting with shy people and watching them blush is totally my thing (as long as they're comfortable with it).

I am determined, surprisingly kind, irritable, playful and secretly a little romantic. I can act like a grumpy old woman sometimes. I've been a big fan of horror movies since I was born and now I can't be afraid of any of them. I'm obsessed with videogames. I wear metalhead and grunge style clothes. My favorite styles of music are alternative rock or metal but I can be pretty eclectic. I have beautiful dark circles under my eyes due to my insomnia. Even though I'm a p*thead alike, I've always been the top student in chemistry class and got good grades in my other subjects as well. I have a high tolerance for pain and disgusting things. I act kind of "masculine" but "feminine" at the same time, if that makes sense. I use she/her pronouns though.

Hello!!

Gah, I'll be honest I had a hard time choosing between Larry and Ash for this one! If you're not happy with your choice feel free to request some more headcanons with another characters!

Regardless, I hope you enjoy your matchup!

Warning! There are probably a few Sally Face spoilers here and there!

tw: fighting, weed, mentions of getting high, mental health

I match elliseeed with...

Larry!

You convinced me when you said you like metal and you're a pothead.

You two obviously get high together. Was it even a question.

In fact that's probably how the relationship started.

You walked into the unisex toilet about to smoke, only to find him already there doing that exact same thing

"aw shit, thought I locked that.."

"..."

"..Want some?"

"Fuck yeah"

And that's how it all began. The two of you started snokeing together and eventually started hanging out after school too.

Then of course you found out he also likes Sanitys Fall and that was it. You're together for life now

Originally you were just besties as well as Sal. We all know he can never be replaced

But somewhere along the way the relationship just sorta formed.

The two of you are literally inseperable. Practically joint at the hip.

Sal protection squadtm. Travis look out because now there's two people who will beat yo ass.

You probably ask Larry to hold you back but let's be honest, he's throwing punches with you.

You probably go on a lot of detention dates<3

Sometimes Larry will confide in you about his dad.

He still blames himself :(

But you never fail to make him feel better.

And you best believe he will always be there for you too.

If anyone ever dares make a comment about your grumpy appearance they're done. Rest in peace them, because no one talks shit about Larry's s/o

"Did you see the way she looked at us? She's so scary, what a freak-"

"What was that?"

Horror movie dates.

Cuddling in his room with snacks and just watching movies for hours on end

Deep discussions while high. Usually about everything that's going on with the cult and red eyed demon.

He's scared that you'll get hurt

"hey, no getting hurt or I'll kill you, got it?"

"Whatever you say Larry<3"

Just hold him and he'll feel better<3

He is beyond bewildered by your good grades.

Like how?

Literally how?

He has never seen you study a day in your life and you're an A+ student

Don't get me wrong though, he definetly brags about you.

"Oh yeah! Well my girlfriend is the top chemistry student!"

Overall it's healthy and happy relationship<3

he loves Sal (platonically), but with you he feels more at peace than he ever has, and he deeply appreaciates you for it.

Hi! I hope you enjoyed your matchup! If you want another one feel free to request! - Strawberry🍓
