happy happy birthday @astrobei !! as my gift to you, please enjoy some modern au college jancy (ft. byler)

If you told fifteen-year-old Jonathan Byers that one day he’d be taking time off of his busy schedule as an NYU Student and part time photography intern to get on a plane to Boston to visit his girlfriend, Nancy Wheeler, he probably would have fainted on sight.

(Well, he probably wouldn’t have believed you, but if somehow he had, there would’ve been a high likelihood of him fainting on sight.)

The truth was, Jonathan’s life was kind of perfect now, as far as he was concerned. Most importantly, the world hadn’t ended, which was a pretty major concern a few years ago.

His mom and Hopper were married now, and Hop was ten times the father Lonnie had ever been. It’d been a little bit of an adjustment at first, accepting Hopper into the family, but easier than you’d expect. Hopper had already been there for them for years, so it didn’t feel all that different.

El was living at home in Hawkins, commuting to Community College, which would’ve been Jonathan’s worst nightmare, but El seemed to be more than happy with the arrangement. Jonathan thought she might’ve been making up for lost time a bit, living at home with mom and Hop. Having a mom and a dad, a stable home. She definitely deserved it.

Will was finally happy, which had been Jonathan’s main concern in life for pretty much as long as he could remember. He was going to school for art in California and sharing a dorm with Mike, which he’d been pretty stoked about. Jonathan wasn’t entirely sure about the nature of their relationship these days, though he had his suspicions, but he knew Will was happy, and that was what mattered. Not to say that he and Nancy hadn’t tried to do some investigation on the matter, because they absolutely had. Call it journalistic instinct.

He and Nancy were better than ever these days, despite the distance. The fantastic thing about government hush money is that it’s not only good for tuition to your dream school, it can also be used for frequent air travel. Boston was only about an hour from New York City by plane, so they took turns visiting. Jonathan liked visiting Nancy, if only for the fact that she lived in a one bedroom apartment with no roommates. Glorious privacy.

They’d just arrived back at said apartment after dinner with a few of Nancy’s friends from school, who Jonathan thought were nice, if a little high-strung. As soon as they entered the bubble of Nancy’s apartment, Jonathan gently grabbed her face and kissed her, slowly walking her back against the closed door.

She pulled back and laughed at him, her eyes filled with adoration. “What was that for?”

“I missed you,” he said sincerely.

She scoffed playfully. “We’ve been together for hours already.”

Jonathan pressed a kiss to her forehead, then to each of her cheeks, and finally connected their lips again. “Missed you,” he repeated.

She looked up at him through her eyelashes and her cheeks flushed bright pink. “I missed you too,” she murmured.

---

One bottle of red wine later, they ended up on the couch, Nancy wrapped up in Jonathan’s arms as he ran a hand through her hair.

He was-- Okay, he was a little buzzed. He’d always been a bit of a lightweight. (The alcoholic genes did absolutely nothing for him.) Nancy was even worse off.

So there they were, a little tipsy, tangled together and staring into each other's eyes, just because they could.

“Have you talked to Will lately?” Nancy asked suddenly.

Jonathan nodded. “He texted me earlier.”

“Have you collected any more intel?” Nancy asked curiously, leaning forward.

Jonathan could smell the wine on her breath. He took a moment to find it funny that she was referring to prying for information on their little brothers and their possible romantic relationship (probable romantic relationship) as collecting intel.

“No,” Jonathan said, “I haven’t asked him about it in a while, he got all touchy last time,” he frowned.

“Mike won’t tell me shit,” Nancy complained, “he won’t even pick up the damn phone.”

“I should call Will,” Jonathan announced, and Nancy nodded earnestly.

He shimmied a little so that he could retrieve his phone from his back pocket, then settled back into place. Nancy watched intently as Jonathan called Will and put it on speaker. They both listened to the phone ring, and Jonathan held a finger to his lips, gesturing for Nancy to stay quiet. She giggled and nodded.

“Jonathan? Is everything okay?” Will’s groggy voice came over the phone.

“Oh. Were you sleeping?” Jonathan asked.

Will huffed. “Yeah, Jonathan. It's midnight. Are you drunk? You sound drunk.”

The existence of time zones suddenly dawned on Jonathan and he felt like an idiot. “A little, yeah. I’m not used to you being on California time. Sorry,” he said.

“It’s fine,” Will said through a yawn.

Jonathan was about to apologize again and let Will go back to sleep, when he heard a voice in the background grumble, “Who is it?” and Will quietly answer, “Shh. Just Jonathan.”

Jonathan’s eyes widened and he looked excitedly at Nancy. She grinned back at him.

“You settling into the dorms okay?” Jonathan asked.

“Uh… Yeah?” Will responded, obviously wondering why the conversation was still happening.

“You and Mike got separate bedrooms, didn’t you?” Jonathan asked, biting back a smug grin.

After a pause, Will said, “Yeah,” his tone clipped, “We got lucky.”

Jonathan and Nancy exchanged another look.

“Cool,” Jonathan said, “And you’re in bed now?”

“Yeah, Jonathan, it’s midnight, I was sleeping,” Will said, “Listen, I can call you in the morning if that’s okay?”

“Sure, buddy,” Jonathan said.

“Okay, I’ll--”

“Just out of curiosity though, who’s in bed with you right now?” Jonathan asked abruptly.

Will coughed. “What?”

Jonathan heard a distant “What is it?”

“Nobody is. I’m alone,” Will insisted.

Nancy rolled her eyes and Jonathan held in a laugh. “You know, you can tell me if you met someone out there,” he said, “I’m happy for you. Seems a little fast though, you’ve been there… what? A week?”

“I haven’t met anyone! Jesus, Jonathan,” Will said.

With that, Jonathan noticed Nancy was also on her phone, and he furrowed his brow in confusion, until he saw Calling Mike on the screen. The next thing he heard was a ringtone coming through the other end of the phone, followed by a loud groan.

“Hey!” Nancy said, “He sent me to voicemail.”

“Is that Nancy?” Will asked, “What the hell Jonathan?”

“Maybe,” Jonathan answered sheepishly.

There was some shuffling on the line, then Mike’s very tired voice came through the phone loud and clear. “Hey, Jonathan and Nancy. Great job, you caught us, we’re going back to sleep now. Fuck you and goodnight.”

Before Jonathan could respond, the call ended. He locked eyes with Nancy who looked similarly bemused.

“Case closed,” she said with a shrug, erupting into giggles.

“Case closed,” Jonathan echoed. He couldn’t help but recall a few years back, watching the two of them through a rear-view mirror in the Nevada desert.

He was really, really happy. And a little wine drunk, but mostly happy.

Will and Jonathan

To celebrate Will’s birthday, long post dedicated to my favorite brothers and their beautiful bond.

Season 1

The most terrifying week of Jonathan’s life. First, he thought that if he had been at home, nothing bad would’ve happened to Will. Then, if you think about it, he is the only one who thought for at least two days that Will really died. His worst nightmare. He failed to protect his little brother.

But he’s always there for Will. And if he had been there that night too, the Demogorgon would’ve killed him and taken Will anyway. And Will would’ve have been lost.

When Will is sad, Jonathan can always make him smile and feel better:

I have a brother, eight years younger than me. We are very close. I basically raised him. You know, single mom (divorced parents when I was 13 and my brother was 5), night shifts. And we were also poor.

I relate to the Byers so much. In my family, I am Jonathan. It’s so painful to imagine what he felt when Hopper told him that they had lost Will

When he saw Will’s small body on that table

Season 1 is a roller coaster of emotions. But they all love Will too much. And their love saved him. This is one of the most precious moments in the whole show, imo. I love it so much.

Jonathan is so emotional. He holds Will’s hand as if he wants to be sure that Will won’t go away again. Also, wonderful performance from Charlie. I can feel all Jonathan’s love, happiness and relief

Season 2

Another big season for the Byers brothers. And another time Jonathan risked to lose Will. The crazy thing is that this time Will is there but something is trying to erase everything he is. Another nightmare (army of monsters aside, lol)

Once again, the season starts with Jonathan taking care of his family (I really hope tho that at the end of the story, he can finally live his life and find his happiness, knowing that his family is safe. It’s so unfair -Lonnie’s fault- that he has all those responsibilties at such young age)

Fortunately, he also has Nancy. He’s starting to find something for himself. Problem is, Henry doesn’t care. So, the moment Jon leaves town... oops, Will gets possessed. No wonder he thinks he can’t leave him and his mom.

But before that, we get another beautiful moment where Jonathan encourauges Will to be himself and be proud of it (Jonathan is just a wonderful person, ok?)

Will is so upset about everything. He knows nobody can understand how he feels. At first he doesn’t even want to talk with Jonathan.

But Jonathan knows him so well and always knows what to say. Being a freak is actually the best. Normal people never accomplish anything important in this world.

And then this. So sweet. Aaaand we also have little shit Will, who always reminds his siblings that they are friendless, lol. I love him

And of course, Will smiles again

Then, sorry Jonathan. The real nightmare begins. I love S2, because there’s so much love for Will in every scene. From Mike, Joyce, Jonathan. What an amazing season! I’m so happy that S5 will include big S2 ideas but also have S1 vibe. The two seasons where Will and the love people have for him are central.

The last episodes are incredible. I just love everything.

The shed scene is absolutely one of my favorite scenes of the show, and imo, one of the best. Stellar acting, perfect shots, amazing dialogue, and oh, the emotions. It’s simply perfect. And different from what we usually see in Stranger Things.

They love him so much

But then this moment kills me every time. Jonathan is desperate. He can’t hear Will screaming and being in such pain without helping him. I’m glad Nancy was there. In fact, a few minutes later, he tries to help Will, but it was a mistake.

Jonathan couldn’t think anymore. He was sure Will was dying. He had to save him. But Nancy, as always, helped (yeah, she hurt Will, but it was the only way) This scene!

And then, he got his brother back

Season 3

There aren’t as many scenes as in the previous seasons, but the love between them is always there.

Always protective

And even when he doesn’t say anything, Jonathan always see his brother’s pain, like Charlie said.

Season 4

Both brothers are struggling a lot now. They’re older and for a while they probably thought they weren’t as close as they used to be. And that hurt and must have felt so strange. Jonathan is almost adult now. He feels all the weight of his responsibilities. He feels like living his life means abandoning his family. So he’s stuck. So glad he has Argyle!

And Will is dealing with feeling different, his feelings for Mike and the fear that he will never be happy. He’ll never find love. It doesn’t help that for the first time he doesn’t feel his brother’s support. Jonathan seems different and distant. Maybe Will, who’s more aware of his sexuality now, even believes that it’s his fault if his brother doesn’t spend much time with him anymore.

That’s heartbreaking.

But of course it’s not true, it will never be true. Jonathan never stops caring, or being protective. No matter what.

Oh, and this moment. This moment...

This is the season where both Will and Jonathan have much less scenes than in any other season, and yet S4 is where they share probably their most emotional and beautiful moment. This is the only scene in the show, along with when they find Will’s fake body in the quarry, that made me cry.

It’s so beautiful. Many people criticize it and say it wasn’t clear enough. That the writers were cowards. But I think it’s the opposite. It’s so delicate. And so in character. Jonathan was so sweet.

He didn’t push Will, because he didn’t know if Will was ready. He knows Will is afraid of losing the people he loves, that they won’t accept him. So he didn’t explicitly say that he knows. He just let his little brother know that he will always love him. That he will always be there. He made Will understand that he is important and special to him, and he will always be.

And NOTHING. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING will ever change that.

And Will’s little smile and tears when he hears those words. Jonathan hasn’t forgotten about him. He wasn’t distant because he knows and doesn’t approve.

He’s just dealing with his own problems. And I love, love that here Will also wants to reassure Jonathan that he will always be there for him too.

This has never happened in other seasons. It was always Jonathan the one who offered support. And it makes me hope that in S5, the season of Will’s coming of age, he too will reassure and protect Jonathan, and tell him that he deserves happiness.

Jonathan’s always been there for Will, and I’m sure he will do everything to protect him again in S5. But Will will protect his brother (and mom) too. Jonathan will see him become confident and find love with Mike. He’ll see his mom with Hopper, and El happy too. And he’ll finally know that he can live his life and that his family is safe and happy.

Weeby’s Birthday Headcanon Bonanza!!!

Happy birthday to me!!! Enjoy this y’all! @artzychic27 @imsparky2002

(School for Monstrous Youths) If you’ve seen the ZOMBIES movies, when he feels that he’s screwed up, WereKim does the “Bad wolf!” thing that Wynter does, hitting the sides of his head with his fists.

(Class of Villainy) Ivan Oogie tried to scare MisShark once. She bit his hand and kicked him in the delicate zone.

(Class of Heroes) When Soo-Lin Lee first met Robette, he actually passed clean out and they were this close to calling an ambulance. Once he came to, he calmed down enough to simply ask for an autograph.

(Creepsters) WitchyLene, WitchyReille and WitchyRore love to sing Hex Girls songs while casting their spells.

(Ghoul Squad) When Mylentasma is excited about something, her laugh sounds like Phantasma from Ghoul School.

(WereMiraculous) The DuPont pack all sleeps in a huge puppy pile in their cave. They feel safer and warmer when they’re all together.

(Batraculous) The Bat Gang often has competitions to see who can do the best “Batman Voice”. Ivan is a frequent winner, as well as Rose, surprisingly.

(DuPont Cheer) Whenever anyone on the squad gets injured, the others drop everything to take care of them, no matter how minor.

(Shadyverse) It’s not a matter of IF a fight breaks out at the school, it’s a matter of how many happen that day.

(Descendants) Darcy is afraid of thunderstorms. Everyone who knows about this is sworn to absolute secrecy.

(Phantoms of Paris) One of the Phantoms’ favorite pastimes is to haunt and scare the crap out of abusers of all kinds. (And providing comfort to their victims.)

(DC AU) Aurore will get into VERY heated debates with people about the negative portrayal of sharks in movies. She can bash Jaws for hours on end.

(Class of Heroes) The heroes keep a running track of how long it takes Kimules’ sleeves to tear when he makes the mistake of buying a shirt with them. The record is ten seconds.

(Descendants) Uma and Lonnie are the only people who the other has never been able to beat in a sword fight. It always ends in a draw.

(WereMiraculous) As the Omegas of the pack, Marc and Adrien are not allowed to go anywhere alone, they must have constant protection. They commiserate over this.

(School for Monstrous Youths) If you’re a little on the prudish side, it’s best to avoid a certain set of corridors in the catacombs. It’s where all the couples go to make out and…you know, other things.

(Ghoul Squad) The squad likes watching human horror movies about their species and critiquing everything they get wrong.

(Class of Villainy) One of Mylensula’s favorite movies is Titanic…but not for the reasons one would typically expect.

(Favoritism AU) Marinette once went out of her way to ensure that EVERYONE in the family forgot Marc’s birthday, planning several events on the day to distract them. Only Kiran remembered and got his brother a set of quality pens.

(Creepsters) Marinette Von Bugg once successfully created a Time Machine, but unfortunately it broke almost instantly and she lost the plans.

(School for Monstrous Youths) WereKim, IsmaCat and BatNais form the WereKid squad. They like to go on hunts and play-wrestle with each other.

I hope you guys liked this!!! Feel free to add on in the comments and reblogs!

Pairing: Jonathan Byers X Male!reader

Description: after years of not talking, you end up on a blind date with your old best friend Jonathan, and you take a trip down memory lane.

Word Count: 1.8k

Notes: Some minor mentions of Lonnie’s abuse towards Jonathan, Reader and Jonathan get into an argument but there’s a happy ending, just a warning for people who don’t want to read that. Also the writing MAY be a little choppy but I had a terrible spat of Writers Block in the middle of writing this 😭😭😭

The Day You Lost Each Other.

“So you’re sure that this Rick guy would be okay with us using his house for a date?” You asked pensively.

“Look, I know Reefer Rick, and he’s not gonna be out of prison for a hot minute.” Eddie reassured you from the front seat.

“Yeah, plus, we’ve got experience with the place.” Robin said.

“Right, Henderson told me about how you guys hid Eddie during the whole murder thing.” You said.

“Yeah yeah, let’s not bring that up right now, you’ve got a blind date to catch!” Eddie laughed.

Robin chuckled a bit and you forced out a laugh. You had been friends with these two since you had set foot in Hawkins high, and when Robin told you she knew someone who was also into guys, who was also your age… you didn’t believe it.

“You alright back there?” Robin asked.

“Haha yeah I’m great I’m fine but what if someone walks in or something? What if-“

Eddie cut you off.

“Look kid. The only person even allowed to enter other than Reefer Rick himself, is me. And that other guy, but he’s probably also in jail.” Eddie said encouragingly.

“Probably?!” You snapped a bit.

“Look, y/n, you’ll be fine. I promise.” Robin said.

“Is that a promise promise or a Buckley promise?” You asked.

“Hahahaha you’re funny Y/n, now get the hell out.” Robin said.

You slowly got out of the car and walked around to the back door. You could see some light inside, and a shadow of a person cast on the wall. You slowly walked up to the door and paused for a moment, and creaked open the door.

“Um… hello?” You said, opening the door all the way.

To your surprise, the person waiting for you was… Jonathan Byers?!?!?

“Oh, hey! You’re Y/n right?” He said, with a somewhat anxious smile on his face.

“Yeah, of course! You don’t remember me?” You asked.

He had a confused look on his face, but you remembered all too well. All the times the two of you explored the forest around his house. The many times he quickly put a bandage on any cuts you got in the forest because the sight of blood would make you panic. You remember those moments like they were yesterday, but… he didn’t?

“We used… we used to be friends.” You sighed.

“Sorry, I must have forgotten. Just so much happened in the last few years, I don’t really remember anything from before highschool.” He said, forcing a chuckle.

That’s right. You stopped being friends right before highschool, you just couldn’t remember why…

“You alright?” He asked, snapping you back into reality.

“Yeah, yeah I’m fine.” You said, quickly sitting down.

“So, do you think you could remind me?” He asked.

“Huh?” You said, still trying to remember what it was that ended your friendship.

“Y’know, about when we used to be friends?” He explained.

“Oh right! Well…”

— 7 years earlier —

“Jonathannnnnnn!!!!!!” You knocked frantically on your best friend's door.

It was his 10th birthday, and you had gotten him a gift with your allowance. You soon were greeted by Mrs. Byers.

“Hey there Y/n. Sorry, I don’t know if now is really a good time.” She said.

“Oh, is Jonathan okay? I know todays his birthday and-“

Before you could finish, Jonathan slipped past Mrs. Byers and ran into the forest.

“It was just a damn rabbit! Stop crying over nothing!” His dad yelled from the back.

You didn’t know much about his dad, but you knew one thing. The way he treated Jonathan pissed you off. When he noticed you at the door, you stuck your tongue out at him and quickly ran after Jonathan. There was only one place he could be.

Soon you arrived at the old Quarry. It was a strange place to hang out, but you and Jonathan had made one of the old abandoned buses your secret base. You quickly ran aboard and saw Jonathan sitting at the back, with his head resting on his knees.

“Hey Jonathan.” You said, trying your best not to upset him.

“Don’t look at me.” He mumbled.

“Huh?” You were confused.

“Don’t look at me!” He yelled.

He was visibly shaken up, and his face was covered in tears. You froze up a bit at his sudden snap, but quickly responded. You turned around and slowly walked backwards towards him, and sat down directly in front of him.

“Well, I’m not looking at you. So tell me what’s going on.” You said calmly.

You heard him start to calm down, and he began muttering.

“My dad… he caught me playing with that rabbit we found. He made me… he made me shoot it.”

You flinched at the mention of the shooting. You couldn’t even imagine what he was going through, but you were going to try and help the best you could.

“Well, there’s not much we can do for it now. But whenever people do things that make me unhappy I just imagine kicking them in the crotch as hard as a physically can. Could you imagine look on his face?!” You said.

You immediately stood up and kicked the air, and turned back around to pretend like you had just been kicked in the groin.

“Owwwwww owwww I’m so sorry for being an asshole Jonathan I’m sooooo sorry owwwww owowowowow” you said in a high pitched voice.

That was able to get a chuckle from Jonathan, and a chuckle was all you needed.

“You’re right. He’s just an asshole.”

— Present Day —

“Ohh, right! I remember that now. That was the first time I ever called him and asshole.” Jonathan laughed.

“Yeah, I remember when your mom divorced him as he drove out of town he had to drive past my house, and I flipped him off! That was the goodbye from Hawkins he deserved!” You rambled on a bit.

It was a bit awkward, considering Jonathan had forgotten about all your escapades.

“Man! I can't believe I forgot about that! I don’t ever… I don’t think I’d ever forget something like…” Jonathan began to trail off a bit.

“Well it was quite a while ago, I don’t blame you.” You said, trying to pick up the conversation.

“I just remembered.” Jonathan quickly said.

“Hm?” You had no clue what he was referring to.

“The reason I don’t remember you. It was freshman year…”

—Four Years Ago—

“Ew look, it’s Barb.” Carol whispered to the group.

You and Jonathan were still friends, but you had grown apart. You had new friends. There was Tommy Hagan. He was pretty… cool. And there was his girlfriend, Carol. You hated her, but it didn’t matter, since Tommy liked her. And of course, there was Steve. They were all a grade above you, but they chose you to be the “freshman” of the group. They made fun of a lot of people you used to be friends with, but you couldn’t abandon this opportunity for popularity.

“And look who’s behind her.” Tommy laughed.

You looked and saw Jonathan walking with his head down. You had both changed… a lot.

“Hey Y/n.” Steve called for you.

You couldn’t take your mind, or eyes off Jonathan.

“Freshie!” Tommy snapped at you.

You quickly returned to reality at the snap of Tommy’s finger.

“Here, we’ll make you officially part of our crew, starting today.” Tommy said.

“Really?!” You said excitedly.

“Hold your horses kid, if you can successfully make the perv over there cry.” He finished, pointing to Jonathan.

You felt a part of your heart sink into your stomach. Jonathan was your friend, your best friend.

“Jonathan isn’t a pervert. He’s just…” you began to try and defend him.

“Weird? Yeah, well he’s weird and a pervert. I caught him gawking at me during lunch! It was so… creepy. It’s like he was staring right through me!” Carol cringed.

“Ugh. Fine.” You huffed.

You walked away from the group and caught up with Jonathan, who was waiting outside for his mom to pick him up.

“Hey, Jonathan.” You mumbled.

“What do you want.” He scowled.

You were taken aback by his tone. It was Jonathan. He never spoke to you like that.

“Well… it’s a bit complicated. See Carol thinks you were staring at her during lunch. I’m sure if they got to know you they’d understand it wasn’t like that!” You suggested.

“No!” Jonathan snapped, “we haven’t spoken in months, and now you’re best friends with the people who make every day at this place a living hell for me?! You expect me to be friends with them?”

“What?! No it’s- It's just a big misunderstanding! Maybe if you stopped being so… weird all the time maybe they wouldn’t think of you as a target!” You quickly snapped back.

“Yeah well maybe if you stopped pretending like they’re so great because they’re older, I would still think of you as a friend!” He shouted back.

You couldn’t think of anything to say back. There were a few other people who were watching, some whispered behind books.

“F-fine! I guess we aren’t friends anymore!” You yelled.

You quickly turned away and ran to the nearest bathroom. You couldn’t stop the tears from coming, so you buried your face in your hands.

—Present day—

“I can’t believe I forgot about that.” You sighed, putting your head in your hands, “I’m so, so sorry Jonathan.”

“Hey, don't sweat it. We were kids, and if Robin was right about you, then you must’ve changed.” Jonathan assured.

“Well, yeah definitely. I actually met and became friends with Eddie after that, and soon enough I met Robin too. I want you to know… after that day I stopped hanging out with them. I was really only trying to be friends with them because I had a thing for Tommy Hagan, I just didn’t know what it meant at the time.” You laughed. Jonathan laughed too.

“That’s around the time I realized I liked guys as well.” Jonathan said.

“Really?” Explained.

“Yeah. It’s funny how things work out. That was around the time that I realized that… I loved you.” Jonathan blushed as the words escaped his mouth.

You were a bit speechless, but soon found the words you needed to speak.

“Do you… still feel that way?” You asked.

“Of course I do. I couldn’t bring myself to hate you. Actually I kinda hated myself more for ending our friendship.” Jonathan admitted.

There was another moment of silence before Jonathan spoke.

“Tommy Hagan? Really?” He chuckled.

“I had a weak spot for his freckles, okay!” you laughed.

The two of you laughed as you felt a way you hadn’t felt since that day all the way back in freshman year, the day you lost each other.

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL BYLER HEADCANONS FOR @tntozier !!!!!!!!

okay first off let me just say. i know byler met on the swings but i have a headcanon that they met dustin and lucas on the playground too

dustin and lucas tried going down a tube slide at the same time and the two got stuck and this was mike and will’s first time meeting them, just hearing them both yelling for help from the tube slide

ok now back to byler specific headcanons

first day that they meet they come out of school holding hands and run up to joyce and karen asking if they can have a playdate

and they can <3

so they go to mike’s house that day and karen makes them sandwiches and they learn that they both like peanut butter and butter sandwiches

bc these mfs like syrup on their eggs, yeah they like peanut butter and butter

also will is allowed to stay at the wheeler house for any and all reasons, especially when lonnie is being an ass

(and i think jonathan too, i’m a fan of jancy as childhood friends but that’s another post in itself)

anyway back in school

these two write books together and ask their teacher to read them to the class

mike writes and will draws ofc and they’re all stories about these two knights who go on adventures and save their kingdom

(and they look awfully like will and mike but WHAT noooo that’s not them what are you talking about)

i also have a hc that will has trouble reading and spelling but mike is really good at it so he helps will and will doesn’t get frustrated trying to learn about it when mike teaches him bc mike’s so patient and kind about it

the day before will’s birthday he’s over at mike’s and will starts crying to mike about how he wants to be home to make his birthday cupcakes for the class the next day but his parents are fighting :(

and karen overhears this so she goes out and gets ingredients and the three of them make will’s birthday cupcakes together <3333333

and frosting ends up all over the boys and all over the kitchen but karen doesn’t care bc they’re happy and laughing and it’s distracting will and that boy deserves everything

mike tries to eat those erasers that are designed to look like food

will tells karen to not buy those for mike anymore

on field trips will gets the window seat and his job is always to alert mike if they pass by any cows

mike clicks markers to join them together and tries to convince will to do the same so they can have lightsaber fights

mike gets in trouble for this but will tells the teacher that he’s the one who told him to do it so they both go in time out together

on snow days mike comes over to will’s house and jonathan takes them to “the best sledding hill in hawkins” and the three boys comes back and joyce makes them hot cocoa and they fall asleep watching movies together <3

also elementary byler holds hands all the time

mostly initiated by mike

mike will be going to the water fountain or something and then look around and be like “wait where’s my will” and finds him and grabs his hand to take him along

mike always sharpens his pencils down until the eraser touches the tip of the pencil

will always puts a spare pencil in mike’s backpack when his pencil gets like that bc “HOW do you WRITE with that??”

will calls mike “mikey” like 24/7

karen and joyce pack their sons the same lunch every day

karen packs mike a sandwich, an apple, and chips

and joyce packs will a sandwich, an orange, and chips

and mike and will always switch the apple and orange bc they like the other better

mike can’t read an analog clock but will helps him, just like mike helps will with his reading and spelling

they have matching slap bracelets

I LOVED WRITING THESE

stranger things daemon au (part 2: the teens)

jonathan and alexis

alexis (lexie for short) settled very early on, only a few days before his tenth birthday, as he was forced to grow up so quickly. lonnie was so proud that his son had 'become a man' that he took him out hunting on the day that he settled, and jonathan hasn't really been the same since. althea often rides on lexie's back, usually as some kind of bird but sometimes as ferrets and even foxes sometimes. it becomes a bit of an inconvenience in the car, especially as lexie takes up so much space, but they just about manage to make it work. when there's not enough room in the car, lexie gallops alongside the car, keeping up speed pretty easily. she was a great help against the demogorgon in s1, being so big, and helps in the next few seasons, too. she is very protective of jonathan, especially when it comes to monsters (in s3, it's very obvious), but she's also very protective of their loved ones, and saved nancy in season 1 by going on her rear legs and hitting the demogorgon with one of her hooves. in season 4, she spends a lot of the season laying down and not talking, not even to joyce and her daemon, liam, though she always fights when the time calls.

nancy and justinian

before he settled, settling was all they talked about, with nancy often wanting some pretty bird or a deer, like their mom's red deer daemon, and justinin leaning towards cat, dog and even some big cat daemons. they have a weird relationship, with nancy trying to ignore him and justinian just wanting some care from her. when they find out barb died, they grow closer than ever through that pain. justinian definitely leans more towards birds and, when the demogorgon comes, he swoops down as a blur of white and scratches its shoulder, staining his talons black. they do research later on, and find out he's a gyrfalcon. that's the only thing that sparks her interest. other than that, she's a husk of what she'd been like before, with fake smiles and fake laughs and fake happiness so she can cover up how much barb's death had pained her, to trick everyone into thinking she's okay. in season 1, her relationship with her daemon is distant, while in season 4, they're deeply in sync with one another, able to communicate with just a look.

steve and delmira

delmira used to be a golden retriever, to make their dad happy, but after beating the demogorgon she went into a bigger, lithe form that was able to take easy bites out of the demogorgon's skin. steve's parents were disapproving and he got no allowance money for months, but he doesn't really care. after getting tortured by the russians, del and steve can go great distances from each other with minimal pain, only feeling a painful tugging feeling in their heart. they avoid doing it, to avoid freaking people out and to avoid either of them getting hurt but in season 4 they leave eachother twice, once, del and sherwin staying with the kids, and then again to protect dustin. del hates herself for not being able to save eddie, but her focus had been so totally on dustin. they don't blame dustin, but they can see dustin and syretia blame themselves, and they don't know what to do about it.

robin and sherwin

sherwin settled when robin was thirteen, for no particular reason. they did a lot of digging on what animal he was (no pun intended) and found out he was a bat eared fox. both of them don't really like it all that much, especially as he attracts the wrong kind of attention with his huge ears. during their time at starcourt, they 100% bet that steve's going to try and kick sherwin, or at least make a nasty comment about him, but he doesn't. post-torture, they can also move great lengths away from each other, which only a slightly painful tugging feeling. sherwin stays with the kids while robin goes to the mama gate, then stays with lucas, erica and max for some extra help, and also to keep sherwin safe, considering he's the smallest of the teens' daemons. he helps a lot with lucas's fight against jason's german shepherd daemon, especially considering how fidelia is a much smaller bird than, say, nancy's gyrfalcon. sherwin blames himself a lot for max's death, even though he couldn't have done anything, and sticks by robin's side a lot post-s4.

eddie and calpurnia

not much to say here. she settled a few months after moving in with wayne, a lot more people disliked him for his snake daemon and he showed her off a lot to make a point of his daemon. she tried to quench the bleeding around his neck by curling around it and putting pressure on it, but he bled out and died with her anyway, letting her turn into dust.

argyle and nita

argyle similarly settled early, only 10 and a half years old when nita stayed in the form of a capybara. known widely as one of the friendliest animals on earth, argyle was proud of his daemon, no matter that his mamá thought she was stupid-looking or his papá with his doberman had sighed loudly at the sight of it. she's touchy-feely with anyone's daemon, and likes it when amias, el's daemon, imitates him by turning into a lesser capybara, not quite able to match nita's size. she cuddles up with lexie a lot, and lexie doesn't really mind, often humoring her and snuffling her to please her.

Happy Birthday singer songwriter Eric Bogle born September 23rd 1944 in Peebles.

His father was a railway Signalman who could play the bagpipes. Bogle started writing poetry when he was eight years old After attending school until he was sixteen, Bogle worked in various trades: labourer, clerk and barman before emigrating to Australia in 1969.

Eric taught himself to play guitar and joined a skiffle and rock band. He was the leader of Eric and the Informers in Scotland. His early influences were Lonnie Donegan, Elvis Presley and Ewan MacColl. He turned to folk music prior to emigrating to Australia – his first written songs concerned his parents. One of these, “Leaving Nancy”, which sang of the day he left home for Australia, being the last time he saw his mother Nancy, was often covered, most notably by The Dubliners and The Fureys. When living in Canberra he joined the local folk music scene and performed occasionally.

Several of his most famous songs tell of the futility or loss of war. Prominent among these is “And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda”, written in 1971. The lyrics recounts the experiences of a member of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) in the Battle of Gallipoli. It has also been interpreted as a reaction to the Vietnam War.

Another of his best-known songs, “No Man’s Land”, is also World War I-themed. This song is commonly known as “The Green Fields of France”, a title it was first given by The Fureys, and which has subsequently been used in many further cover versions. The song refers to the traditional Scottish song “Flowers of the Forest” being played over the grave of a World War I soldier.

Bogle has undertaken an extensive concert tour of the UK (sometimes including appearances in continental Europe as well), every three years since 1985. These tours have usually included a supporting cast of Australian-based singers and musicians.

On 25 January 1987, Eric Bogle was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia, “In recognition of service to the performing arts as a songwriter and singer”

In May 2001 the Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA), as part of its 75th Anniversary celebrations, named his song, “And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda”, as one of the Top 30 Australian songs of all time.

He may be unknown to many people but I consider Bogle to be as important figure in world music as other Scottish/Australians, Bon Scott. The Young brothers of AC/DC fame and Colin Hay of Men at Work, and as good as the likes of Dougie MacLean, Dick Gaughan and Brian McNeil in Scotland.

(Ryan Potter) [THE COPYCAT]. Please welcome [REID SAKAMOTO (HE/HIM)] to Huntsville, WV. They are an [26]-year-old [VISITOR] who lives in [TOWN]. You may see them around working as a [GROOMER AT HUNTSVILLE VETERINARY & GROOMING]. Poor unfortunate soul. We’ll see if they survive.

Full Name: Reid Sakamoto Birthday: September 12 Age: 26 Hunter or Gatherer: Neither Sexuality: straight Height: 5'8 Relationship Status: single

No one in the Sakamoto family ever really addressed it, but it was clear that Reid was the favored child. Maybe it was because Narcissa took too much after her mother, someone their father never spoke of after his marriage to Reid's mother, but it meant that he was spoiled and very rarely heard the word 'no'. He was excused from any trouble he got into with 'boys will be boys', and while he didn't exactly abuse that gift, he rarely ever expected to take the fall or blame for anything.

Reid absolutely adores Narcissa, and with just barely a year and a half between them, it was easy for him to follow her around. He was still obnoxious, as younger brothers often were, but he thought her articles were cool, and interesting, and while he had no journalistic drive, he was happy to tag along and carry whatever Narcissa was dragging along as well, as long as he got to be included.

He didn't necessarily want to go to college - his grades were fine, but he didn't have an academic drive - so instead he just took on a number of odd jobs, so when Narcissa graduated and declared she was moving to Roswell, he had nothing tying him down and opted to follow her, much to her annoyance.

Roswell was fine, albeit a bit hot, and Reid spent a lot of his time at the local arcade, racking up tickets and high scores, impressing other players and usually giving his tickets to the kids that had been watching him play all day. When Narcissa mentioned checking out a place called Huntsville with an online friends of hers, Reid insisted he be allowed to come too - not because he really wanted to, but it wasn't safe for Narcissa to meet a stranger on the internet alone. For once, she barely protested.

The only thing he really misses from before Huntsville is how much he was able to get away with. Having Narcissa and Lonnie as his acting parents, they barely let him get away with anything, far too concerned for his well being and quite frankly, Narc thought he could stand to be told no more than he had. He likes working with animals, and has finally found something he actually looks forward other than hanging around the arcade, trying to beat the high scores on the handful of games at his disposal.
