Eddie has undiagnosed ADHD. The reason he still hasn’t graduated school is because of his inability to focus and prioritize. He has zero organizational skills and was often in trouble for being rowdy in class. Reading is difficult for him because he’s easily distracted and becomes frustrated with the task. His uncle used to tell him as a kid that he would “leave his head on the bus if it wasn’t attached” because he often forgot where he put things. He often suffers from anxiety over not being able to do the things required or expected of him and turns to weed in order to deal with that. Since his parents were absent and his uncle wasn’t exactly paternal in nature, Eddie never saw a counselor to learn coping skills.

The reason Billy and his family moved away from California was because he got caught kissing a boy. The family had lived in a suburb of Los Angeles, and once Billy had learned to drive he spent a lot of his time in West Hollywood, a place notorious for gay culture. These were clandestine affairs which allowed Billy to explore his queerness and be his authentic self, even though he had to remain in the proverbial closet at home. 

When he’d become friends with another queer boy in his junior year of high school things quickly evolved between the two of them. One day when Billy’s father and stepmother were at work, he and the boy skipped class and snuck to Billy’s house. Unfortunately, he didn’t know his father was coming home early from work that day and he was caught kissing the boy on his bed. His father’s rage had been tangible and Billy’s friend had quickly run out of the house. Billy was not as lucky and was beaten severely, his father screaming slurs at him until his stepmother finally intervened. 

Shortly after that, Neil Hargrove announced they would be moving to Hawkins, Indiana to get Billy away from the influence of Los Angeles and it’s far more progressive way of life.

Billy had no intention whatsoever of actually meeting up and sleeping with Karen Wheeler. He flirted with her in order to get the information he needed from her and no more. Despite her being an attractive woman the idea of sleeping with someone twice his age makes his skin crawl.

Billy’s “Vecna” song would be The Chain by Fleetwood Mac. It was the last song he and his mother listened to in the car on the way to the beach. Not that Billy realized then it would be the last time they ever went to the beach together. He clearly remembers Fleetwood Mac being his mother’s favorite band and how much she loved Stevie Nicks. He also remembers that she could sing well and the two of them sang the song at the top of their lungs on that last trip together.

DESPITE   THE   FACT   SHE   IS   UNDIAGNOSED   considering   the   time   period,   Robin   has   high-functioning   autism.   If   she   had   been   diagnosed,   it's   possible   that   she   would   have   been   so   with   Asperger's   Syndrome   thought   psychology   was   basically   still   in   its   infancy   in   the   80s.   Robin's   symptoms   are   quite   mild   so   by   today's   standards   she   would   be   on   the   low   end   of   the   spectrum.   She   often   has   trouble   with   conversation,   either   not   engaging   at   all   or   overtaking   the   conversation,   doesn't   pick   up   quickly   on   social   cues,   and   often   doesn't   realize   when   she's   being   too   blunt   or   even   rude.   Though   she   only   has   few   things   that   interest   her,   Robin   is   deeply   committed   to   those   interests.   Making   friend's   is   difficult   for   Robin,   as   evident   by   her   interactions   with   Nancy   but   she   tries   nonetheless,   even   when   it   makes   her   deeply   uncomfortable   to   be   in   social   situations.

                              IF   DUSTIN   HAD   GROWN   UP   IN   THE   CURRENT   GENERATION   he   would   have   considered   himself   to   be   a   biromantic   asexual.   As   much   as   Dustin   likes   the   idea   of   relationships,   having   someone's   hand   to   hold,   or   snuggle   up   with   on   the   couch,   he's   not   particularly   interested   in   sexual   relationships   with   people,   regardless   of   identity   or   orientation.   He's   not   repulsed   by   sex   but   he   doesn't   have   an   overwhelming   urge   to   expierence   it   either.   While   other   boys   his   age   are   beginning   to   explore   sex   and   relationships,   Dustin   is   happy   to   simply   sit   and   watch   a   movie   with   someone   and   cuddling.   He's   never   had   a   first   kiss   since   he's   actually   deeply   insecure   about   his   cleidocranial   dysplasia   and   overall   appearance,   a   fact   that   pretty   much   nobody   knows   since   he   hides   it   behind   wit   and   sarcasm.

Robin loves science fiction. Her favorite authors being Jules Verne and H.G. Wells. She can lose herself for hours in a good sci-fi book. She finds refuge in the library often where it’s quiet and no one will bother her as she devours stories of impossible things.

How are you ruined?

Ruined by Fury

you are angry. you are angry and everyone knows it. the fire within you will not die, cannot die. for if it dies, you wont have a reason to burn. your rage simmers close to your chest, it boils near something you wont touch. you are angry because it is easier than anything else. you are angry because you choose it over pain. you are ruined because you cannot feel anything but your own ire.

When Max’s parents told her they were getting divorced, she was devastated. She didn’t see it coming. As far as she knew, her parents were happy and in love. They had done a good job of keeping the brewing problems in their marriage discreet. Her mother had explained to her that they’d been young when they married and grew into different people. Max was angry with both of them. They’d been a close family. Her father had taught her how to skateboard. She couldn’t believe this was happening. But nothing hurt more than when her father moved out and stopped contacting her. As it turned out, her father had been having an affair with another woman who was now pregnant. Essentially leaving behind his first family for a new one. 

A year later, when her mom met Neil Hargrove Max had been skeptical. Neil seemed nice enough but there was something about him that concerned her. It was shortly after they married that Neil’s true colors began to show. He was controlling and had an explosive temper. The first time Max saw Neil hit Billy, she was terrified. She worried that Neil would hit her or her mother. He never did, instead taking out his rage on his son. Being as young as she was, Max didn’t understand why Billy took out his abuse on her. It wasn’t until after he died that she began to understand and has chosen to forgive him. Max began to wonder if, in some twisted way, Billy attempted to protect her from Neil’s wrath. She’ll never really know.

The scars Billy has on each of his sides and on his chest, each place the Mindflayer stabbed him, are very similar to the Lichtenberg Figure scars that are caused when a person is struck by lightning.

After Billy was nearly killed by the Mindflayer, he found himself stuck in the Upside Down where he spent several weeks just barely surviving the hellish landscape. Billy managed to escape from the Upside Down by stumbling across one of Vecna’s murder sites, though he’s been keeping a low profile in Hopper’s abandoned cabin.   The amount of exposure to the Upside Down gave Billy certain abilities to sense the creatures that have crossed over into Reality, but he can also sense people with different abilities.

The trauma of being in the Upside Down has given Billy PTSD though he’s not going to waste his second chance. He wants to make amends with Max and the people he’s hurt, though his ability to communicate effectively is still a work in progress. He’ll still default to hiding behind his defenses and the asshole still comes out when he’s feeling vulnerable.

(Max’s letter to Billy)

Dear Billy,

I don't really know how to start this letter. I guess...from the beginning. You were a shitty stepbrother but I guess I was kind of a shitty stepsister as well. I know things weren't always easy for you. I know Neil was a bad dad and the way he treated you wasn't right. I never told you this but the first time I saw him hit you I hid in the closet in my room and cried because I was afraid of him. I thought I'd be next. Thought maybe my mom would be next. We never did stand up for you, did we? Maybe if either me or Mom had then he wouldn't have hit you. I know that's why you were angry all the time, and I know your dad making you watch me all the time only made you hate me more.

I don't hate you, Billy. Not really. I was always just kind of...sad that we could never be close. That you could never trust anyone enough to let them in. Maybe if you could have trusted someone - even if it was me - you wouldn't have felt so alone. Maybe if I'd tried harder, been less mad at you all the time, you wouldn't have been possessed by the Mindflayer and you'd still be alive. Maybe we could have started over and been closer and happier.

I don't know. Maybe you always would have hated me. Maybe we would never have been close. I guess we'll never know because you died and, well, it's hard to miss what you never had.

But I do miss you. In some strange, fucked up way, I do. I feel so damn guilty that you died, that you ended up sacrificing yourself to make sure the rest of us got out alive. I'm angry with you about it to. If you were standing in front of me right now, I'm not sure I'd hug you or punch you in the face. Maybe both. Who knows.

I forgive you for the way you treated me. The way you were...it wasn't your fault. Well, it sort of was but sort of not if that makes sense. Everyone failed you in the end. Your dad. Your mom. My mom. Me...

If there is such a thing as heaven or the afterlife, or whatever you want to call it, and if you're there maybe we'll see each other again. We can try again.

I'd really like to try again.

-Max

👍 Does my muse prefer to be asked on a date, or would they rather do the asking? 😉 What are my muse’s fetishes/kinks? 💬 When did my muse go on their first date? 💯 What is my muse’s ideal date? [for Billy]

sex+romance headcanons!

First this is first! Kinks have been answered here!

Billy has been on exactly one proper date, and it was with his dad's boss' daughter. It wasn't a particularly memorable date and he only went on it because his father told him to. Billy was 15 at the time and his father was starting to catch onto the idea that he might not exactly be heterosexual. So he went to keep up appearances but he wasn't exactly charming during said date. There was never a second date.

Dating is a concept that sort of eludes him. Romanticism has never been something he's considered too much. The only context he has for a relationship is parents who couldn't stand each other, a father who abused his mother, and said mother eventually abandoning him. He keeps people at arms length so he doesn't see the point in going through the motions for something that will inevitably fail. He doesn't believe he's worthy of someone's love. He's not going to ask someone on a date, and if someone asks him he'll roll his eyes and tell them they're barking up the wrong tree.

That being said, the boy literally has no idea what his ideal date would be. For him dating is something that's more fantasy than reality.

💯 What is my muse’s ideal date? (chrissy)

sex+romance headcanons!

Chrissy is a hopeless romantic. An ideal date would be something simple, maybe a boy (or girl) that brings her flowers and will hold her hand in the car on their way to their destination. She doesn't need someone to spend a bunch of money on her. Chrissy would rather go on a date where they can talk and get to know each other rather than something like a movie. She'd love someone to take her ice skating for a date in the winter.

😳 What was my muse’s worst romantic/sexual relationship? ( robin )

sex+romance headcanons!

Unfortunately, Robin doesn't have any experience with either romantic or sexual relationships so she doesn't have a worst relationship. It's hard being a young lesbian in small town Indiana.

😘 Would my muse have sex on the first date? (ronnie)

sex+romance headcanons!

Definitely not. Robin is way to insecure and shy for sex on the first date. She likely won't even kiss someone on the first date. At least not a serious kiss. A kiss on the cheek or a peck on the lips is the best someone could hope for.
