feeling sketchbook spreads for death angel and metallica, and also stone temple pilots and queens of the stone age (maybe black sabbath and guns n roses too, we’ll see).
i also think i’ll participate in drawcember, too, or at least just some of the prompts, anyways.
it’s good to have a fire under my butt again! the triple-header from october kind of made me run hot for a bit 🔥

Hi! I’m Lizzie, longtime fandom tumblr lurker (mainly Stranger Things/Steddie, though I’ve written for other stuff too) who’s decided to make a blog so I can talk about my and others’ works :)
I’m currently working on a couple of Steddie AUs which I’m pretty excited about, so expect posting about those (though I’m a slow writer and a student, so no promises on when they might show up, lol). Looking forward to joining the community!
URL is a reference to Metallica’s …And Justice For All, and header is Roger Dean’s art from the Uriah Heep album Demons and Wizards :)
Fave fics of my own:
Save A Prayer (Till The Morning After) [Stranger Things, Ronance, one-shot, T]: Nancy-centric introspection and a Ronance first kiss on the eve of the final battle.
The Making of a Love Story [Young Royals, Wilhelm/Simon, completed multi-chap, T]: a (s1) canon and post-canon story of them coming together, falling apart, and coming together again.
Slipping Away [Stranger Things, Eddie-centric, completed two-shot, T]: Eddie gets Vecna-d; this is what he sees, and how he escapes.
Best of the Myrmidons [The Song of Achilles, Patrochilles, one-shot, G]: Achilles’ reaction to finding out Patroclus is fated to die.
Fave fics by others:
writing a book on how to stay conscious (when you drown) by WingedQuill [Stranger Things, Steddie, ongoing multi-chap, M]: Vecna’s retribution is to bury Eddie alive, immortal, at the bottom of the lake. This is the aftermath (it’s horribly beautiful).
Found a Different Buzz by @emchant3d [Stranger Things, Steddie, one-shot, E]: Eddie loves it when trans!Steve makes a mess. (Just, like, the hottest thing ever.)
it always leads to you and my hometown by @judasofsuburbia [Stranger Things, Steddie, completed series, E]: If the night was different, if Steve’s girlfriend wasn’t on the porch, Eddie would have absolutely planted one on him. (Beautifully written pining/fwb/friends to lovers at Christmas!)
the most remarkable thing about you standing in the doorway is that’s it’s you by @greatunironic [Stranger Things, Steddie, completed multi-chap plus spinoffs, E]: Vecna is defeated, Steve gets a counselling degree, Eddie is a grunge pioneer, and everyone gets a slightly softer ending. (Amazing concept, amazing execution!)
roses, wisteria, and royal bluebells by coffeecatsme [RWRB, Alex/Henry, completed multi-chap, E]: actors AU which echoes the book (wonderful writing and great characterisation).
and one of my favourite fics ever: Solnste by @lumosinlove [Harry Potter – Marauders era, Sirius/Remus, completed multi-chap, E]: Russian billionaire Sirius hires callboy Remus; feelings happen. (Just an incredible read!)*
plus everything by clottedcreamfudge (RWRB, Alex/Henry, mostly E] and eddywow [Stranger Things, Steddie, mostly E) and probably a bunch of people/fics that I’ve forgotten!
*however I would like to clarify that I do not support JKR’s anti-trans views; this blog is a safe space for all queer ppl.

Some ideas for if you aren't sure what you can contribute!
Art: Comics, illustrations, doodles, whatever! Don't feel limited by your artistic ability; anything'll be taken.
Stories: Have you been to one of their concerts? Had a funny conversation about them with your friend? Had a dream with them in it? Think you saw Lars at your local grocery store? Send an explanation of that in! (If you have one, a header would be appreciated! Like "that time I saw Lars at Walmart", something that summarizes it.)
Photos: Especially of Metallica, but almost anything will work! Edits of any kind, collages, and that thing I've seen punk fanzines do where they add speech bubbles are very welcome as well!!
Music reviews: They're a common sight in music zines, though keep in mind that the readers have almost definitely listened to Metallica before! If you're to do some of these, I'd recommend going for other bands' Metallica covers, songs Metallica members have appeared on but aren't part of their main discography, or something else lesser known.
Games: Crossword puzzles, quizzes, word searches, etc
Factoids or quotes from/about Metallica
Jokes
Favorite lyrics
This is an incomplete list, more will be added as time goes on!

honestly love my new header a lot more than the snowy woods
a; not winter
b; i've never even fucking seen snow and probably won't like it because cold
c; a shittily edited seal on top of a metallica logo is cringe as hell in a mix of gross teen boy and middle-aged man in a wolf shirt and i think that's pretty fitting for me B:3

YOUR HEADER GIF I'M SCREAMING HELP
I knowwwwww!!! Every time I see it, I can't help but smile. It's been a couple weeks, but still not over how giddy and happy he was during this moment. And I'm so glad Metallica gave him a replica of the guitar!! (Thanks for nothing, Duffers). Joe deserves every ounce of attention he's getting right now. Duffer bros may not have appreciated what they had in Eddie/Joe, but everyone else sure as shit will.
Sorry for the rambling...but yes, I love it too. 😄
Cheap plug for the gif set it's from.

How GNR and Metallica's Joint Tour Foreshadowed Their Futures
How GNR and Metallica’s Joint Tour Foreshadowed Their Futures
On the surface, Guns N’ Roses and Metallica‘s mammoth 1992 co-headlining tour made perfect sense. Booking the two biggest rock bands in the world for a joint stadium trek behind their recent chart-topping, multi-platinum albums sounded like a license to print money.
But when the double-header commenced on July 17, 1992, it was instantly fraught with dysfunction and tension between both bands…
