Summer break...

1959

Hawkins, Indiana 6:00 p.m.

It was summer break for your school, everyone was on vacation, leaving their houses for weeks, children's excited screams in your neighborhood, teens driving their cars, typical summer days.

You? lying on the sofa for God knows how long. Your family was branded as one of the richest people on the list, people nor police officers dare to speak ill behind your backs as they would face severe punishments in return.

"I heard we have a new neighbor coming today" I get up, "Oh, yes, yes, we do have, I heard they were also listed as a wealthy family too." Diane laughs.

"Shouldn't we give them a something as a welcoming gift?" She leans to my father.

After mother died, father has been collecting gold-digging sluts from around the town. Party here and party there. It seems that mother was the only one working for their relationship. Diane was the only one that stayed long and even considered me as her daughter.

"I'll come." I approach them. Diane looks at me.

"That's a very good idea, I'll bake them a cake while Y/N can give it to them!" she beams. I only volunteered to do this seeing that I have nothing to do in this hell hole.

{Holy Time Skip}

"Here" Diane hands me a home-made cake of hers. "Make sure to be polite to them ok?" She pats my head. Diane sure looks mesmerizing on the outside ,but, if I don't be careful, she can stab me in the back and all I know is that I am now in the streets begging for food and pennies.

"Sure, sure". I proceed to head to the designated target, their house was just 5 blocks from us, It was huge but not too huge that it'll surpass mine. ╰（‵□′）╯

The house was colored blue with white as the secondary color. It had a fancy parking lot, and a big backyard with a playground as the front yard.

~Ding, Dong~ ╰(*°▽°*)╯

"Oh? good evening darling" A woman appeared before me, most likely in her 30's.

She has a short auburn colored hair with a headband secured to it, wearing a baby blue dress that sways when a breeze comes by. Blue eyes that shimmers upon the moonlight.

"Are you okay little girl?" she waves her hands. "O-oh I'm sorry, this-" I show her the cake, "This is a welcoming gift from my..".

"My mom" I internally cringe as it left my mouth. "Oh thank you dear, this looks delicious, why don't you come in?" she opens the door wider. "Oh, no need Mrs. ?"

"Virginia, Virginia Creel" She shakes my hand. "No need for that Mrs. Creel" I chuckle.

"It's getting late, I just needed to give it to you" "Well- if you insist, but please visit us again, I'd love to introduce my children to you" She waves goodbye and closes the door.

↞•••••↠

"So how was it?" Father glances to me. "It was fine." I replied. "Give me the details" He flips a page of his newspaper.

"The lady that handled the cake was nice to me, she was so pretty." Diane chuckles. "Did she like my cake?". "She did, she looked so happy.."

"She looks like mothe-". Before I could even finish, ather intruded.

"Don't ever mention her in front of me" he grips my mouth along with my chin. Tears threaten to slide down my eyes but I won't let it, no one wants a person who just cries easily as babies does.

"Understand?" He tightens his hold. "Father-.. It hurts-" I stammer.

"DO.YOU.UNDERSTAND!" He retorted. Fucking bitch. I thought.

"Y-yes father" I quickly nod. "Go to your room before I do anything worse" he loosens his grip.

"Old fucking man has the guts to do that" I hissed as I run upstairs.

"You didn't have to do that hun" Diane consoled.

He has been like this ever since mother died, Whoever mentions her or even at least describes her in some way he'll get mad just like now.

I lie down my bed and slowly drift of to wonderland.

{Time Skip}

7:34 a.m.

Hawkins, Indiana. L/N Estate. {Note: Think of anything you want to wear but in the 1950's era dynamic}

I woke up in a good mood whilst what happened last night. I groggily stand up and made my way to clothe myself. I wore my usual attire in this hot summer.

I went down and was met with a sight of a bountiful breakfast. "Oh? Good Morning Y/N" Diane wipes her hands on her apron.

"Morning" I yawn. "Your Father went to a business trip". "What? why so sudden?" I scratch my head.

"Yes, I was also shocked that the office called last night, they said it was urgent" she says as she hands me a piece of bread. "Thanks" I really love it when Diane cooks for us, her food tastes like a 100 star restaurant. q(≧▽≦q)

"By the way.." She looks at me "Hm?"

"I have to go somewhere later, so you'll have to take care of yourself".

"Sure. But when will you be back?"

"I'll be home at 4 afternoon, make sure to eat ok?" I nod.

~~

"Goodbye" I wave. I continue to watch her as she disappears from my sight.

"I'm bored!" A girl's voice complained. "Then go play with your dolls" then a boy's voice chimes in. I peek through the thin hedges between the houses and saw two children. One playing with dolls and another one reading a book on a swing.

"Children.." I smirk.

I sneak behind the boy's back just to make sure he doesn't run away the moment he sees me.

"Hello" I pat the his shoulder. He turns around with a small frown plastered on his face.

"What's your name?" Damn, I sound like a kidnapper, I thought.

"Why would I tell you my name?" He raises one of his eyebrows. "My name is Y/N L/N, I live just 5 blocks from your house" I held out my hand but he refused it.

"You gave your name to an unknown stranger, how pathetic" he rolls his eyes. I gloom over how he couldn't just answer my DAMN QUESTION! I slowly retreat back to my house when he called for me.

"Henry" He uttered still looking at his book. "Henry Creel".

My eyes glimmer back as he answers, "Would you like to play with me!" I beamed as I approach him, "No".

"What's the book your reading?".

"None of your business"

"Can I get on the swing?"

"I got here first".

I finally made a friend.

A/N: part 2 coming soon😍

Part 33 -Beauty and the Freak - this one is long so I will break it up into parts

Our last trip🌶️- Part one

Mature 18+ Minors DNI

Veronica

It was crazy, summer vacation was coming to a close. In just a few weeks we would be going our separate ways, off to college. it was bittersweet, we were excited for what the future had in store for us but knew that we wouldn't be able to see each other on a daily basis. These people were my best friends, and I was going to miss them so incredibly much. Nancy was headed off to Boston, I was off to Illinois and Robin and Steve would be here in Indiana. Eddie had talked with his Uncle Wayne and my Mom and Bill and got the green light to move into my apartment off campus which I was beyond excited about. The downside was that he would be waiting a month to move in because he wanted me to" settle in" get in a routine and be able do focus on my new schedule, which I absolutely understand and appreciate but knew it was going to be one rough month. The longest time we had been separated was just a couple of days. I already knew I was going to miss him so much.

We decided as a group that we should do one last camping trip, this time just us, no "Shrimps' allowed. We wanted to be able to let loose and not have to worry about setting a good example for anyone.

As always our social coordinator Steve planned the trip, this time renting a small cabin in the woods. He made checklists and made sure that we were fully prepared for our weekend away.

" Alright, clothes, linens , food, drinks, ice ,beer, wood-"

" You've got wood Steve? " Eddie joked

" Yes Edward I have wood."

" But is it enough?"

" I have plenty of wood Munson, probably more than you."

" It's not about how much wood you have, it's about if you can make a fire with it." Robin laughed.

Steve turned and looked at her." What do you know about wood Robin, I think you would more about beavers."

We all exploded in laughter, including Robin who was laughing so hard she was crying. " Touché."

" Alright pervs are we ready?" Nancy shook her head smiling.

" Van is loaded and ready!" I chimed in, super excited to get going.

" All right , let's get out of here!" Steve clapped his hands together . Nancy and Robin got into Steve's car and we got into the van.

" I can't believe that this is it Sweetheart. I can't believe that you'll be leaving soon. What the fuck am I going to do without you?"

" Just come with me, then you don't have to worry about it!"

" I want you to be able to concentrate, I'll just be a distraction. Get settled in first then I will be there with you all the time. It will be amazing." He rubbed my thigh. " I want to look for a job as soon as I get there, maybe a record store or something like that. "

" That would be perfect! I know it sounds totally lame but I can't wait to go grocery shopping with you and make dinners for you! We'll get into a routine."

" I can't wait baby. I won't have to climb through any more windows. You know how clumsy I am, there were times I thought I was going to lose my footing." He laughed.

" Never got caught though."

" I am surprised Lucy and Bill are ok with me living with you."

"Why are you surprised? They know we love each other, and you take such great care of me. "

" But living together, then they know for sure that we are sleeping together ."

" Baby, you don't think my mother knows that we are having sex?"

" Did you tell her?" He looked at me wide eyed.

I laughed. " Well kind of-"

" What did you tell her?"

" She told me that she knew I was a smart girl and that she wasn't condoning it but she wasn't naïve. I told her I was taking birth control and that your such a stud I can't keep my hands off you."

" You did not say that to Lucy!"

" Of course I didn't!" I laughed. " But I did I tell her that I was on the pill."

" So she has known this whole time and she doesn't hate me."

" She was a teenager once herself, I am pretty sure that she was no angel."

"Of course she was."

" I'm pretty sure that if she had a boyfriend as hot as you she would have been going at it too."

" Babe-"

" Are you sure you want to live with me? I mean what about the days when I'm cranky and grumpy and I have my period."

Eddie shrugged. " We will cuddle on the couch with a heating pad and I will feed you chocolate Princess. Not a big deal."

" Your such a good man!"

We chatted about what our life would be like when we finally got to live together until we finally arrived at our destination. Steve opted for a different location this time, afraid the the younger kids would try to spy on us if we went back to Lovers Lake. We stood infront of a cute little cabin in the woods , it was a beautiful spot with a small private beach on a lake with a dock. There was a fire pit in the small back yard and most importantly electricity and plumbing.

"Steve this is perfect!" I smiled.

" Now because I am the one that made the accommodations, I claim the biggest bedroom. You guys can fight over who gets the others."

"I'm just glad that you guys let me tag along, your sad little single friend."

" You really think we would have it any other way?" I hugged her.

" I am the life of the party. Steve are you making your party punch?"

"No until after we unload everything."

" Well let's get unloaded then!" Robin opened up the back doors of the van and we all go started.

The inside of the cabin was cute and cozy, fully furnished with everything that we would need for the weekend minus food and linens. We put the food and drinks away first then went in and claimed our bedrooms, Steve of course took the bigger of the three rooms, we took a smaller room with a queen size bed and Robin took a room with a full size bed. We all made our beds , changed into our bathing suits and grabbed some beers and went to sit on the dock.

" This really is perfect Steve, thanks for doing all the planning." I sat on the edge and dangled my legs in the water.

Eddie sat behind me, a leg on either side and arms around my waist . I leaned back into him and closed my eyes, the sun warm on my face. " It's nice out here huh Sweetheart." He kissed my cheek.

" Mmm."

" I'm really going to miss you buttheads. I can't believe your leaving me here with Buckley."

" Hey, that's rude!" Robin reached down into the water cupped her hand and dumped the water on Steve who was laying on his back sunbathing.

"See! See, this is what I'm talking about!"he sat up.

"Aww did Stevie We-vie get a little wet?" Robin laughed.

Steve jumped up in one smooth move, hopped over Nancy who had been laying beside him , and grabbed Robin around the waist and threw her into the water. She screamed and then popped back up."You're an Asshole!"

" Who's wet now Robin?" Steve laughed.

She splashed him from the water and accidentally got Nancy as well." Hey keep me out of this!"

Eddie and I laughed.

" What no one else is coming in?"

" Well at this point I'm already soaked so-" Steve cannonballs in.

"Are you going in sweetheart?"

" Only if you are."

" Why not." Eddie hopped up and grabbed my hands and helped me to my feet. He took off his shirt and I took a moment to look him over. His shoulders, chest and waist, well defined muscles and those tattoos. I had seen him without a shirt many times but he still never ceased to amaze me. This was mine.

I traced the heart tattoo with our initials in it and smiled. I leaned forward and whispered." You are a sexy motherfucker Munson."

He smirked at me and slid my t- shirt off over my head. " Your such a fucking tease."

" I don't know what you are talking about."

" A bikini? Really? Baby-"

I winked at him and dove into the water. It was cool and refreshing.

He looked down at me and smiled.

" Come on Munson, get your skinny ass in here" Steve taunted.

" Wow, I forgot you had that sweet tat. It is quite impressive, I mean the grim reaper, that's pretty badass." Robin smiled. " Hey Steve,Why don't you have a Tattoo?"

" Needles freak me out. I'm telling you Eddie just does this shit to one up me every time. He sits around and thinks, what can I do to show everyone I am the best boyfriend in the world. Oh, why don't I get my girlfriends initials tattooed by my heart?"

Eddie laughed. " Not exactly. But I am going to one up your cannonball." He walked back to the beginning of the dock then took off as fast as he could and cannonballed right next to Steve. The splash was impressive. He surfaced right infront of me.

"Sorry Steve that was a ten out of ten , excellent splash!" Robin cheered.

Eddie picked me up and I put my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck and he walked us around.

" Nancy come in! The water's fine!"

" But the sun feels so much better!"

" But we always play chicken!"

" Put Robin up on your shoulders."

" Uh, that's kind of weird." Steve replied. " My head between another girl's thighs."

" She's a lesbian, it's fine."

" Yeah Steve it's fine. Put me up there big boy." She pointed at me." Your going down sista! I'm not as fragile as Nancy."

" So we are really doing this?" Steve looked over at Eddie.

" What do ya say Princess? Ready to kick some ass?"

"As long as you don't think I will kill you."

" Baby we've been over this before, you're fine.."

" Ok then."

Eddie dunked underwater and I sat on his shoulders. He popped back up like nothing and we regained our balance.

Steve did the same and Robin and she giggled as he lifted her up. " Don't let me down Buckley."

" Here'a to a fair fight. On the count of three, girls try to knock each other over." Steve reviewed. " One, two three!"

The guys walked closer to each other and Robin and I reached out for each other, trying to knock each other over. Robin paused for a second " Wait a minute, " her brows furrowed." I didn't know you had a tattoo?"

I blushed. I had had them for months now and I kind of forgot that they were there. " Oh yeah I have had them for a while now."

" Them? As in multiple?" Steve asked.

" Why didn't I know about this??" Robin asked.

" Because I didn't want my Mom to know about them, so I tried to keep them in an inconspicuous place."

" I guess that makes sense, it's not like you go around flashing your boob at people, that would be awkward . It's really cute though. I wouldn't have ever known if you hadn't worn that bikini top.Where are the others that you speak of?"

" What? Flashing boob tattoos? What are you guys doing up there?" Steve asked intrigued trying to look up.

" No one is flashing anything Steve. " Eddie shook his head. " Now can we get back to the task at hand?"

" Hold on Ed's, go a little closer so I can show Robin the bats."

"Bats?" Steve and Robin asked in unison

" Baby your going to show her the bats? I thought that was for my eyes only?"

" What the fuck is even happening right now." Steve ran his fingers through his hair.

" A little closer Ed's. There."

Robin looked at me wide eyed." I still can't believe I didn't know about this, when did you-"

I leaned forward and pushed Robin straight back, she let out a scream, she never saw it coming. Her and Steve fell right back into the water.

" That was pretty tricky Princess."

" I took advantage of the unintended reveal and turned it into a moment of conquest ." I watched them pop back up." The power of distraction!"

" That was cheating. You can't just talk about some booby tattoo and not expect us to be distracted." Steve whined.

" I told you you were a total tease." Eddie kissed the inside of my leg then dunked us underwater.

When we surfaced Eddie climbed up onto the dock and reached down to help me up. He wrapped me in a towel and kissed my forehead.

Nancy looked up at me from where she was laying on the dock." Can I see the boob tattoo?"

I looked at Eddie." You should have just left my t-shirt on."

" But then I couldn't see your boobs."

I unwrapped my towel and showed Nancy.

She raised her eyebrows." Very cute music notes. And bats?"

I lowered the corner of my bottoms to show Nancy.

" You're a sexy bitch." She smiled.

I laughed and wrapped back up in my towel to dry. Eddie wrapped his arms around me." Your my sexy little Princess."

Steve and Robin climbed back up laughing. Robin opened up the small cooler and took out a beer and tossed it to Steve then did the same for all of us. "Time to get the party started."

We sat and sunbathed and drank our beers, just relaxing. I could feel my fair skin starting to burn.

" I'm going to head in and change. I'm starting to burn. You guys want any snacks or anything?"

" Sure, that would be awesome!" Robin cheered " And more drinks!"

I gave her a thumbs up." You got it." I slid my t-shirt on.

" I saw it! Now I'm not the only one that didn't see it! Music notes." Steve smirked.

" I am glad you don't feel left out." I shook my head." I'll be right back."

"I'll go up and help you with the snacks and drinks." Eddie took my hand.

" Something tells me he is going to help her with more than just snacks." Robin sighed.

Eddie smirked." Yeah drinks." He dragged me up to the cabin and into our bedroom closing and locking the door behind him.

I laughed. "I don't think locking the door is necessary. I don't think anyone will be walking in, pretty sure they all know what's happening here."

" You never know with Steve, he could casually open the door, oops, sorry wrong room then stand there and stare a minute. He's probably listening from down there."

I laughed. " Well let's not worry about Steve right now."

" I one hundred percent agree." He slid my shirt off then untied my top and let it fall to the floor. Instantly his mouth was on my breast his hands sliding down my bathing suit bottoms." I want you so bad right now baby."

" I'm all yours.." I pulled down his swim trunks and he wasn't kidding, he was ready. I lightly grabbed him by the back of the neck and crushed his lips with mine, kissing him hungrily, greedily.

He moaned into my mouth and pushed me back onto the bed. He lowered his body onto mine, I could feel my body pulsing with need. I felt his lips trail kisses down my neck to my breast as his hand slid between my legs. I opened for him. His breathing quickened." Your so wet."

" it's because I want you inside me."

" Not yet princess." His fingers slowly entered me and I moaned.His thumb circling as he slowly slid his fingers in and out. I arched my back and bit my lip to keep from crying out. "Baby I-"

He leaned down and breathed in my ear." Baby, I'm going to make you cum, then I'm going to bury myself in you and make you do it again. Is that alright sweetheart?"

" Yes" I breathed.

He continued with his skilled fingers but quickened his pace, and I soon felt a shockwave rip through my body. He leaned down and kissed me and I groaned into his mouth. I could tell how turned on he was by his breathing."That's a good girl."

I breathed his name and begged " Please Eddie, I want you inside me. I can't wait any longer. Fill me with your cock."

He smirked , " So needy, Princess," Slowly he entered me and this time he groaned. " I can give you what you need.Fuck baby you feel so good." He moved faster now, at an urgent pace, I wrapped my legs around him pulling him in deeper . I wound my hand into his hair and lightly tugged, knowing just how much he liked it. He moaned again and buried himself deeper into me. " Your so fucking perfect, that pussy is so goddamn perfect.It takes me so well."

I lightly ran my nails down his back and watched goosebumps cover his skin." You like that don't you baby? "

I heard him mumble his reply."You fucking know it." He reached down between my legs and started rubbing slow circles as he rolled his hips into me. The extra stimulation sent me over the edge. I threw my head back, he did the same as we came together.

He collapsed on top of me, breathing heavy ,head on my chest. I ran my fingers through his sweaty hair. "Are you good baby."

" Never better Love. " He kissed the top of my breast.

I pulled the hair elastic out of my hair and pulled his back into a low bun to get it off his neck. He looked down at me, a satisfied smile on his face. " I would love to stay right here for the rest of the day."

" I am pretty spent myself but we have people relying on us to bring them snacks. They are probably wondering what happened to us."

"They know exactly what happened."

" For me it happened twice."

" I promised, and I always keep my promises." He leaned down and kissed the tip of my nose before rolling off of me. He slid on his boxers and his shorts, slid a tank over his head." Take your time baby, I'll go out and make 'Party punch' and we can grab the chips and pretzels before heading down."

I got up and grabbed the sundress and undergarments I had been wearing earlier and slid them on then went into the bathroom to tidy up. My skin was for sure a little red and my cheeks were on fire but that had nothing to do with the sun. I grabbed a scrunchie and tossed my hair into a messy bun.

When I walked out Eddie was mixing random alcohol in a pitcher and dumping fruit punch into it. He looked up and smiled." Hey beautiful."

" So that's how you make party punch?"

" No idea, but that's what they are getting." He grabbed some plastic cups off the counter.

" Last time I drank party punch I got a little frisky."

" Last time you got a little friendly and made out with me in front of everyone." He laughed.

" Oh dear. So maybe I shouldn't have anymore party punch?"

" Just pace yourself , you'll be fine."

I stared at him with a goofy smile on my face.

He caught me staring at him." Are you ok babes?"

" I can't help it, you just look so hot with your hair like that and your tank top on, carrying a pitcher , your little tongue poking out like it does when you are concentrating."

He laughed." Your crazy."

" Maybe I'm still riding the double orgasm high from earlier."

" Its possible, I have that effect on you. " He smiled."Speaking of getting high, I Uh, brought a few joints, thought it might be hilarious to get a little baked. You don't have to if you don't want to-"

" I'll try it, I have no where to go and I am with you guys. I am just going to apologize now because if I am anything like I am when I am drunk, there is going to be some giggling going on."

" Between you and Harrington and Robin it is going to be really entertaining."

The side door opened and Steve walked in."What's going to be entertaining?"

" When we all get high later."

"Sweet! " He leaned on the counter"I got a little worried because it was taking you guys so long so I came up to see if I could lend you a hand, Your looking a little flushed."

" You are a pervert and we're trying to catch us in the act."

" I wouldn't do that. Just concerned for my friends, I heard moaning and was afraid someone might have hurt themselves."He smirked.

I blushed." Are you serious?"

" He's just fucking with us."

"But am I?"

"Here you carry the punch." Eddie handed it over to Steve," You can carry the chips and pretzels." He handed me the bags.

" What are you going to carry?" Steve asked

" The snack." He smiled . He motioned for me to climb up on his back for a piggyback.

" My ass will hang out of my dress,"

" We are in the middle of nowhere baby. Climb up."

Steve rolled his eyes ," Your next tattoo should be , look at me I'm the best boyfriend in the world."

I smiled." If the sneaker fits."

Eddie laughed and hiked me up on his back and I put an arm around his neck. "Let's go."

We drank and snacked and laughed the afternoon away, as promised I paced myself with the party punch so that I was feeling good but could be a functional adult if need be. I volunteered to make dinner for the group so that they could continue to have a good time. Robin, Nancy and Steve were now playing monopoly at the kitchen table Eddie had actually let his hair down, not literally because his little bun was still in and looking sexy as hell, but for the first time since I had known him and was feeling pretty good which meant that he was quite smiley and a little handsy.

" Hey baby I'll help you with dinner."

" I've got this under control if you want to go play games with the others."

" Nah baby, I'm going to help you." He came up behind me rested his chin on my shoulder and put his arms around my waist." What's for dinner doll face?"

"We are having Tacos ."

" One of my favorites." He nuzzled his face into my neck and kissed it then pinned me up against the counter."Are you having flashbacks baby."

" You are always such a distraction when I trying to work in the kitchen."

"Robin, I suppose you like tacos too?" Steve asked laughing

Robin burst out laughing." Jesus Christ Steve!"

We laughed at the two of them. Nancy smiled and rolled her eyes. She was way more reserved than the rest of us when she drank.

" Dinner will be ready in five." I chopped up the rest of the veggies for tacos and Eddie helped me set everything out on the counter since the table was currently occupied with monopoly. We all fixed our plates and decided to eat our dinner outside at the picnic table

" So what are we going to do after dinner?" I asked taking a swig of beer, no more party punch for me today.

" We should play truth or dare!" Robin wiggled her eyebrows.

" That's such a high school kid thing to do." Nancy rolled her eyes.

"We'll just a couple weeks ago we were high school kids- with the exception of Harrington." Robin snarked.

" I have never played truth or dare." I admitted.

" Everyone has." Steve commented

" I haven't. My high school years were turned upside down, moving around, I didn't have any friends, I just kept to myself. I didn't have anyone to do this stuff with, my friends were in California."

"Aww see? We have to play!" Robin smiled

" Alright, as long as it doesn't get weird and perverted." Nancy sighed.

" Maybe a little perverted." Steve smirked. " But no one does anything they don't want to do. Is that a deal?"

“ Deal.”

Offer for the Alyx

Ok Alyx is the QUEEN of dad jokes. She is so corny. She makes the worst puns ever and really obvious jokes. You can tell she was raised by old men and trust me I adore it. She is so silly.

I feel she would enjoy colder days since hot days are hard to move around in. Give her a good spring day or a summer day with a stiff breeze and she is a happy camper.

I don't think they have movies, but if they did she would love Indiana Jones methinks.

Is it too late to ask for #3 BKS?

@maurafreakinisles It definitely was not! I waited to reply until I had it finished and could post it. Here it is:

Jane sighed into the crook of Maura’s neck as she held her from behind, the darkness of their bedroom so inviting, calling her to sleep. However, they were mid-conversation, and she was supposed to speak next. “Yeah, I but I’m not sure I understand how two people can start out in love and then end up doin’ such terrible things to each other,” she continued.

Maura hummed, both in thought and in pleasure at the feeling of Jane’s fingertips tracing lines on her sternum, at the feeling of a thumb caressing the underside of her breast mindlessly. “It wouldn’t be the first time,” she said. She burrowed further into the covers, backing up until Jane’s naked front pressed against every inch of her naked back. “Ok, so did you think about the next thing on your list? Tell me what you came up with.”

“I don’t know if I want to,” said Jane. She squeezed Maura petulantly.

“Jane!” Maura chastened.

“The first thing on your list was to do something from my list! That doesn’t count!” Jane countered.

“Of course it counts,” Maura replied, turning around. She took Jane’s jaw in her hand, and kissed her lips. “All we’ve been doing for three months is caring for Elio,” she explained, giving their new son’s name a rich Italian accent, effortless and natural, “I wanted to do this so that we don’t lose ourselves, our identities. There are still things we want to accomplish in life. And all that I want to do, I want to do with you.”

Jane smirked into their next kiss. “Who knew bucket lists could be so romantic,” she teased. “I mean, I guess it could be kinda fun to do stuff from each other’s lists.”

“Mmm, really?” Maura asked, actually quite surprised at that answer.

“No! I don’t wanna go to Paris Fashion Week!”

“Well, I can’t believe you wanted to do Navy Seal training!” Maura shot back, pulling her head away so that Jane could see all of her incredulity.

Jane chuckled lowly. “Oh yeah, I think that’d be fun. And there’s this place in San Diego that puts civilians through hell week.”

“I do not,” Maura said. “And hell is something I’m trying to avoid, even if it is in San Diego.”

“Running of the bulls in Pamplona?” Jane suggested next.

“A romantic adventure in Spain, yes. Being chased by angry bulls? No. I love you, but that's a terrible idea. I would like Elio to keep both of his parents.”

“Agh,” balked Jane.

“The museum of antiquities in Leiden?” Maura offered.

“I am not spendin’ my vacation in some dust-filled… oh! Zip-lining in Costa Rica!”

Maura scrunched her face. “No,” she said, and they seemed to be at an impasse, even in each other’s arms. That is, until epiphany struck. “I have an idea. Something neither of us have done and could be appealing to both of us.”

“I’m listenin’,” Jane growled, voice deepening every time she got close to sleep.

Maura pressed her lips softly against a sharp cheekbone - one, two, three times. “An archeological dig in Egypt. I am fascinated by ancient cultures and you love adventure,” she whispered, doing her part to lull Jane.

Jane’s breathing paused. “Do I get to wear the Indiana Jones hat?” She kept her eyes closed as she asked.

“We both do,” Maura said happily.

“A couples costume. Cute,” Jane joked. “I’m in.”

“Really? Yes!” Maura cheered.

“Yeah, yeah,” Jane started, rolling over so that she could land on top of Maura, somehow suddenly invigorated. She kissed from Maura’s warm ear to her neck, smooching loudly when she got there. “Now gimme some of that pretty-”

An infant’s wail cut through the moment, a moment Maura was most definitely going to perpetuate. She had opened her legs to accommodate Jane, just before they were interrupted. “It’s my turn,” she said.

“Stay here,” said Jane. “I got him. You pushed him out, you deserve a few extra nights of rest.”

Maura watched Jane rise from the bed, put a robe on, and head down the hall. The least she could do was be ready when Jane returned, for love and for adventure, whatever that adventure might be.

Hey y'all!! It's been about 4 days since ive posted or done anything on here bc those were my vacation days

BUT LEMME JUST TELL YALL WHAT HAPPENED BC IT WAS PROBABLY THE BEST 2 DAYS OF MY LIFEEEEEE!!!!

(Not to brag)

OK YALL SO THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED!!!

I flew for the first time ever!!!! My ears hurt like a little b lol but my sister and I were in awe the whole time! They were so many ARMYS it was awesome! A bit after take off (which was so cool) my mom asked "Did we forget anything?" And my dumbass sat up and said "KEVIN!" and my whole fam laughed. Also they had free movies and shows on thier wifi website AND THEY HAD 4 EPISODES OF THE OWL HOUSE SO I WAS WATCHING ESCAPING EXPULSION OVER AND OVER HAHAHA

And then the 2nd plane had us flying at night and omg when we got close enough to LA and saw all the city lights up to as far as we could see I almost teared up bc it reminded me of Peter Pan and I tyrned to my mom and said "We can fly!" Bc I'm a kid at heart. Here's a pic from the plane!!

Tthhheeennn when we woke up on Saturday (our free day to explore LA, or so I thought...😏) My mom began waking my sis and I up and raised her phone in the air and blasted the sw theme of spotify and said "Guess where we're going today!" And before that we had discussed a collector shop and downtown Disney so we said "Downtown Disney!" And my mom was like "...think BIGGER!!" AND OMFG MY HEART BEGAN BEATING SO FAST AND MY SIS MANAGED TO GET OUT "...Disneyland?" AND THEN SHE SAID YES!!!! As soon as she said that I started bawling my eyes out and said "I'm gonna see star wars land?!" And my mom and uncle just hugged me and it was great. Later she explained that it was my uncles idea and I thanked him so many times (he loves sw as much as me. Our fam calls us "star wars buddies")

SO WE WENT TO DISNEYLAND!! Which I had never been before! And oml it was probably the best experience of my life!! Here's what happened

First we rushed to Galaxy's Edge and got in the line for Rise of the Resistance and waited for 3 LONG HOURS and then the fun began! I had purposely never watched the ride on YouTube bc I wanted to stay a purest so everything amazed the heck out of me! I screamed so freaking loud lol I was probably annoying everyone else hahaha. The preshow was AMAZING!! I guess I was in the perfect spot bc the Rey projection was looking RIGHT AT ME and I was so amazed by BB8 moving!! Then when that ended I screamed bc I had no idea there was an outside part and then I screamed in the ship bc the Admiral was SO COOL AND REALISTIC!!! And then I screamed AGAIN when the door opened and the stormtrooper room was revealed. And then I screamed on the whole ride itself😂 and we got the FULL expirence, they didn't cut anything out It was so cool!!

Then on the Falcon we had such a unique experience!! My uncle and I were pilot and co pilot and the rest of my fam was vibing in the back as gunners/engineers and we were doing pretty good when the screen suddenly went black. So we took advantage and began pressing all the buttons like dummies and then Hondo and Chewie came on and told us there were some technical difficulties. Then a cast member came and evacuated us and then another person came and lead us through a secret tunnel to a new cockpit and then we went on the ride again. It was so cool and my sister caught the breakdown on camera!! We got a pretty ok score, here's a pic!!

After that we got to go on many other rides like The Haunted mansion holiday (which was on my sister's and I's bucket list) Indiana Jones(IT WAS AMAZING AND SO MUCH FUN!! 10/10!!)Big thunder mountain, Splash mountain (We got soaked!!) Pirates of the Caribbean (we got to see the real skull!!😳) and Snow white's enchanted wish (my sister almost cried cuz she loves snow white) and then we got to see the castle all decked out for xmas!! Here's a pic my mom took!!

And then ofc we went to the concert the next day and IT WAS AMAZING!! My sister and I were all decked out and we had so much fun AND MEGAN THE FREAKING STALLION SANG BUTTER WITH THEM!!!! IT WAS SO COOL!!! Here's a pic of the stadium!!

So yeah!! In conclusion, best. Trip. EVER!!! I am soooo freaking thankful for my mom, uncle, and older cousin for making this happen. I love my fam so much!😭

Ok. This is me above-above (with makeup filter) and this is me today, with Lou the elephant. One f’n day apart….and by the by, this is the only photo that I will let you see from today, because unflattering and because no.

I am extremely fickle and picky about taking photos. I pretty much let allow it to get me really down. For some reason other than the filter, I feel like I look like hell in photos that people take of me. I mean, I look like a completely different person. So much so, that I would never have to go into hiding for any reason other than my mortification about my image in photos that I don’t have control over, because I look like a completely different person in every one I appear in. And…. I hate it.

So what does one do, when they don’t have control of a situation like getting their pics taken, and at the same time don’t want to be erased from their own history? Because I gotta say, the sighting of a “Kari Keillor” in a photo that I haven’t taken over the past 20 years is EXTREMELY rare… probably worth its weight in gold… and yes, it’s a digital photo, so there you have it.

When you have a low self esteem, and you want to change it, how do you do it? I’ve tried the appreciation of the new and enlarged boobies and culi. But it’s worn thin. And when I’m on vacation I want to walk around the pool with my head held high, not like a turtle peeking it’s head ever so slightly out of its shell… I’m hunched over, and my face and body, reveal how I feel…. Not so great.

Ok. Well, yes. I am, a woman. I am, a fully functioning, relatively healthy if you don’t count my feelings of paranoia and inferiority to other beautiful people, so what the hell?! Can I eat something that’s not so great for me and be ok with it for once in my life? Unfortunately the answer is, no.

Bathing suit season is tough. I noticed that my latest suit was strangulated to death by my ass, and it’s wasn’t meant to be a thong. Oh how I long for the days of winter, where my sweatshirt and sweatpants are the costume of choice, and the extra can be slightly hidden and shielded from the immediate notice of others.

I’m looking… for an outside cure. Ain’t gonna happen. So, I’ll try to look at it this way; if Godzilla was to come and visit my neighborhood, thrashing and destroying everything in sight, I probably wouldn’t give 2 rips about my cellulite, or how big my ass, arms, thighs and stomach were. So, should I try to focus on world destruction the next time I’m at the pool? Probably not the most fun choice. Maybe I could just use a different, more flattering camera angle like I did on the photo below. Or, just focus on having fun, and get a really cool, and hot, cover up until I get to where I’m ok…. in my head. Self love…. I’m working on it. I mean I was somewhere really great, and I was ruining it for myself by not being there in my head. The love is there, it can even be smack dab in your face. But if you don’t recognize it, and allow yourself to enjoy it without judging yourself and everything else then how can you enjoy… well…. anything?

So, you have a choice: You can either embrace the elephant in the room…. Or… just always stand next to a 9ft elephant. 💕

With makeup filter for my fach…. And No, I’m not perfect…and I am human, and whether you agree with me or not, you cannot argue with how I feel about myself.

oh! And for those of you who are concerned, these 3 elephants I loved today: Lou, Patty, and Carol, are housed on 1,100 acres of beautiful rolling hills of farmland in Indiana, and are treated amazingly. Today we helped feed them, and wash them. We try to take my son every year. (We missed 2 years due to covid.)

I believe it’s important for kids to have encounters with animals and to develop a connection to them. Because like anything else, how can you expect kids that turn into adults to care enough to protect animals without more of a bond via sharing personal experiences? And unless human beings classify differently now, we’re all animals after all… (with the exception of plants and fungi… and perhaps some single celled organisms…not sure. I can check. All still relevant…) yes. According to https://www.bioexplorer.net/animals/:

“From the biological classification perspective, animals belong to the kingdom called Animalia. They are eukaryotes and multi-cellular living organisms. Animals are locomotive (i.e., ability to move around), heterotrophic (i.e., consume organic material as a source of food), and reproduce sexually (with the exceptions of asexual organisms). The study of animals is called Zoology.”

The Toziers convince Sonia to let them take Eddie to disney world on his 14th birthday. Needless to say he LOVES every second of it and that’s when Richie realizes that he’s lowkey in love with him

ok anon stop reading my MIND I was actually thinking weeks ago about this literal very same thing. Well, a variant, but yours is adorable too omg. Also I think a lot about them going as adults post-movie and Eddie spends the whole day just going on the Hulk rollercoaster at Universal over and over

but god imagine Eddie having a huge bowl of Disney World ice cream plonked in front of him at the Rainforest Cafe with birthday sparklers, and they’re like “Eat up son, you’re not 14 every day!” and Eddie tries to blow out the sparklers and not cry simultaneously. Eddie at a theme park is actually so personal. He tries ONE rollercoaster (Thunder Mountain) and immediately becomes an adrenaline junkie, and Richie’s sitting next to him hearing him shriek and swear and their hands are clasped together overhead as they hurtle down a plunging loop, and he’s like oh no.

My thing was that I have this image of a 90s family photo of Maggie and Went squishing long haired teen metalhead Richie between them maybe at Magic Kingdom or in front of the big ball at Epcot, and he’s taller than both of them with a gruesome unintelligible black tshirt on but he’s got the biggest goofy smile, and he’s wearing Mickey ears cause it’s his BIRTHDAY. But 14 is probably better cause maybe like, Went and Maggie saw how upset Richie and his friends all were the year before and want to cheer him up?

Then I thought, his parents say he can bring another friend with him if he likes, and Bev’s already gone to Portland right? Mike and Bill are working, Ben and Stan are both at different nerdy summer camps (I know Richie’s birthday is in March but let’s pretend they take him as a joint bday/end of school year treat) and so he brings Eddie. Richie kinda wanted to bring Eddie the most in the first place, so it works out perfectly. Eddie’s only allowed to go because he’s still riding his gazebos wave of defiance and also they promise Sonia Eddie won’t go on a single dangerous ride (wink), and she’d hate to be seen to be ungrateful, people would talk.

Richie and Eddie get their own room in the motel and trampoline between the two beds because they’re little monsters. They always run out onto the balcony at night to watch the thunderstorms. The first time they walk through the gates at Magic Kingdom Eddie’s like :00000 Richie look! EVERYONE’S wearing fanny-packs!!!! and Richie’s like yeah >:( but you were a cute dork first, and Eddie’s like hey fuck you—wait...... cute? and Richie’s like uhhhh HEY LOOK IS THAT PLUTO

They freak the fuck OUT at the Star Wars bit in MGM, back when it was still called MGM. Maggie and Went let them see The Muppets 3D three times in a row and Richie gets a Kermit shirt, and whenever Eddie starts pestering him about sunblock Richie sings It Ain’t Easy Being Green to drown him out.

The see the Indiana Jones stunt show at MGM and Richie decides he’s gonna be a stuntman. Then they go to the driving stunt thing and Eddie says it would be super cool to be stunt driver, and Richie’s like we can be a stunt team!!!! together!!! And Went grins, “Like Siegfried and Roy,” and Maggie elbows him.

Eddie overcomes one of his many anxieties and pets some lizards at Animal Kingdom. They fill their hats with water from the spouting fountains at Epcot and then put them straight on their heads, dumping water over themselves to cool off. It’s actually closer to Maggie’s real birthday than anyone else’s so they have dinner at Epcot Mexico for Richie, Mags AND Eddie and the mariachi band comes over. Richie and Wentworth start singing a totally inaccurate Spanish Happy Birthday and Eddie almost sinks under the table in embarrassment. People are staring, and he’s so used to people staring in public when his own mom causes a scene, but this is a fun scene, Maggie’s rolling her eyes and clapping along so maybe it’s not so bad.

They make up games to play in the long lines for rides, Maggie and Went joining in on Eye Spy, or Richie’s “Guess Which State That Gross Family Are From” game, but don’t join in with Richie and Eddie’s complicated patty-cake-thumb-war hybrid. Eddie always has a ton of water in his backpack and a lil hand-held fan in his fanny pack, and sometimes in the hotter lines he feels very bold and squishes his and Richie’s faces cheek to cheek so they can share the fan, but it doesn’t seem to make much of a difference cause Richie’s face almost feels warmer when he does.

At Typhoon Lagoon they wrestle all the way around Lazy River (and get chastised by the lifeguards) and have major water cannon wars. Eddie watches all the fit young lifeguard dudes up in their chairs like 😳😳😳 that looks like a... cool job. Helping people. Hm.

They split a thing of churros. They get right up to the top of the tallest slide and Eddie gets scared, but Richie just clambers all the way back down the stair tower with him, mouthing off at the bigger kids giving them grief, and Eddie’s like “you should have just gone without me” and Richie’s like nah, be it’d no fun without you, and Eddie thinks about this entire vacation and for a wild moment he thinks my whole life would be no fun without you.

They return to see Maggie lying face down on her deck chair and towel, reading her book with her sunny yellow bikini top untied and Went is Very Attentively Applying Sunscreen to her bare back lmao. Richie’s like UGH GROSS and Went jumps a little like, “oh fu—uh, hey boys, you’re back quick.”

The concrete is so hot they have to run quick from pool to pool to stop their soles burning. Richie can’t wear his glasses in the water so he clings to Eddie the whole time, both of them slippery and giggling and Eddie feels like he’s getting a full body sunburn every time their wet bodies bump together, even though he’s wearing like six coats of factor 50.

Oh and you know they go to Universal. Oh BOY do they go to Universal. Eddie screams on the Jaws ride when the animatronic lunges right against where he’s sitting, and he jumps back in his seat and like, Richie must’ve been way closer than he thought because he falls all over his lap and Richie’s like “Hooper ya idiot, starboard! Ain’tcha watching it!” in his Quint From Jaws Voice, which is actually one of his better Voices since Quint sounds like every other curmudgeonly Maine old-timer back in Derry, but this time he’s pretty shaky about it for some reason.

They go to the new Horror Make-Up Show and Richie waves his arm so hard he gets picked as the volunteer, and winds up making the crowd laugh even more than the hosts, they’re all mock-outraged like “Who’s your agent! You’re here from Mouse Town to make us look bad, right?!”

Then when the Wolfman bursts out, Eddie can see there’s a moment where Richie’s whole body flinches bloodless, his arms come up to cover his face, and his head jerks to stare out for a moment into the crowd looking like he did when he saw his face on a missing poster, and Eddie overcomes his terror of being Perceived by the crowd to yell “GET HIM RICH” and everyone laughs, Richie grins, and it’s fine again.

On their last night they go back to Magic Kingdom to see the fireworks, and they’re exhausted. Sun-dazed and sugar-filled and adrenaline-drained and the fireworks make everything kinda dreamy. They’re shuffling along behind Maggie and Went to get a good spot when they see Maggie take Went’s hand. Richie pulls a face at Eddie and Eddie scrunches a face back and they snicker, and Richie makes a mock “oooh~ Eddie~” noise and grabs Eddie’s hand—they both keep laughing and watching the fireworks, but like... then it stops being funny and starts being something else. Richie’s just holding his hand, and the crowd is so thick and dark under ballooning Florida clouds and the fantasy sky, so anonymous that nobody notices but them. Eddie’s heart might be shooting into the sky and exploding into sparks as well, he’s ready to collapse and he can’t possibly LOOK at Richie but for a moment he’s like shit, they’re right. Happiest place on Earth.

#reddie #tozier family #long post #once more this got away from me but i fucking love disney world ok lmao #listen every time i come back from Orlando im like ok! im done! dont need to go again! #and then by a year or so later im like WHO WANTS TO COME ROLLERCOASTING WITH ME......... #anyway idk if any of this is chronologically accurate to the parks in 1990 but that IS the year the horror make up show started #ficlet

I need me some quality content and this is the best place for it. Could I get some being Steve's sister and dating Robin? (If that already exists somewhere then please direct me to it bc this idea is like crack to me) Thanks!!

Yo! I've just gotten back into Tumblr since quarantine has given me an abundance of time. I can guess that you ended up getting this elsewhere, anon, but for the folk who also want to read about wlw Robin B and Big Bro Steve - this ones for you! 

Enjoy x

I Do 

“Turn that shit down! GOD! I feel I’m listening to them in concert.” Steve was screaming from downstairs for me to turn my music down and before I could move an inch to do so, he barged through the door. “Look, I don’t want another complaint from Mrs. Fritz next door. Can you please turn it down. I promised mom and dad that the roof would still be on this place by the time they got home. I’m heading to work. The money for delivery is on the table. Just try not to get yourself into bother, OK?” 

“Yeah, sure, sorry Steve. What time will you be home?” our parents are both out of town on business and so Steve has been appointed man of the house. Last time we were left alone, Mrs. Fritz called the police on us, placing a noise complaint. It was just me playing my radio a little bit too loud in my room. My bedroom window is right next to her living room. 

“I’ll be home around 8. Do you want to wait till I’m home to order pizza?”

“Sure thing, dude” I answered, giving him a thumbs up and a grin.

“You’re a goof. I’ll see you at 8.”

Steve and I’s relationship is reasonably good for the average brother and sister. He’s a year older than me and has the same interests. Such as; Hair, Pizza, our looks, and girls. I’ve known I’ve been into girls since I was a little kid but dad would kill me if I ever brought a girl home. Mom would be a little more understanding, yet still against the idea - and I don’t even know how Steve would react if he found out. I think he’s the only person I’d be fully comfortable telling, but I don't want to risk it going the complete opposite way.

I hear the door slam and decide to get out of my pajamas and actually DO something today. The schools broke up for summer last week and all I’ve been doing is reading, listening to music, and waiting for my best friend Jennifer to get home from vacation and tell me all about it. She’s due home in three days. I finally muster up enough self-motivation to move from my cozy, pink bed to the bathroom. The cold tiles under my feet wake me up and I stare at myself in the mirror for a bit. I had managed to grow a little spot just below my hairline (which I quickly treated with zit cream) but that was about as far as the flaws went. I usually take good care of myself; drinking enough, taking my vitamins, brushing my teeth after every meal. I do care about my looks and I shouldn’t be ashamed of that. It helps gets me a lot of attention in school, and I’ve never been an outcast. I guess having Steve as a big brother does contribute to the high school fame, but I don’t let it get to me much. I'm just glad I’ve gotten through high-school without being bullied at least once. I looked at my scraggly hair. I had just had a perm done two weeks ago and it seemed to be holding up pretty well. I scrunched my hair to make it look nice and messed it up a bit to give it volume. 

In the kitchen, there was the money on the table, like Steve said, and a note next to it. 

Save me a slice! Steve :)

He must’ve written the note then realized that a slice won't suffice after a long shift at his dorky Scoops Ahoy! job, and asked me to wait up for him. It's a shame people don’t get to see this side of Steve and I. I know how we come across to other people. I’ve heard the odd remark here and there about how he’s a player and I’m a priss. It mostly comes from the social outcasts in the school, the ones who aren’t in our friend circles, and don’t get to see what we’re really like. Even then, our school personalities are a bit of a performance to uphold our popularity. Only Steve knows my real self and vice verses, and we both understand why it has to be like that. Its an unspoken rule type thing. 

I open the fridge and get some milk for cereal. I pour a bowl of Fruity Pebbles. Fred smiles at me from the box as I grab the phone off the wall and dial Amanda’s number. 

“Hey Mands, you want to go to the mall today”

“y/n! Hi! That sounds great. I need a new outfit for my date with Justin on Friday.”

“Cool, so, 12? That sound ok?”

We agreed on 12:30 (since she had to take her dog on a walk) and she suggested we meet outside the Gap. Soon enough, 12:30 rolls around and I see Amanda smiling wildly at me, where she said she'd be, outside the Gap. She sweeps me into a warm hug and we gush about how much we’ve missed each other since school broke up. 

“Ok, so I need to go to Claires to get some earrings.” I agree to help her find a pair that would, quote “make Justin harder than math.” I don’t really understand how a pair of earrings could do this to a guy, or even if guys pay attention to earrings at all, but I was open to being proved wrong. We start making our way to the stairs when Amanda realizes she’s suddenly craving ice cream. I put it down to the fact that there were Scoops Ahoy! Adverts on every trash can (I’m unsure if that is a sign or not). We make a detour to Steve’s work and I make a plan to pull a few strings to get a free cone or two. We enter the ice cream parlor and… Steve isn’t there. Instead, a girl with short blonde hair is serving the queue of customers. 

I squint at her, trying to remember her name. Rosie? No, that's not it. It begins with an R for definite. Its to do with an animal… a R-R-Robin! Her name is Robin. And she’s…pretty? Like, really pretty. And not very girly? I can’t tell since she’s wearing a silly uniform… but god, is she pretty. 

As I’m staring at her, a slew of slurs come racing into my mind. Slurs I panicked were being shouted at me down the halls but never were. They were always aimed…at her. At Robin. Words beginning with D and F that make my blood boil. Chip, A boy in my own friend group, muttering “Stay away from my sister, homo!” In class. I put a hand up to my mouth to hide a gasp. This girl was outed, by someone she thought was her friend from band, in Hawkins - which isn’t known for being the most accommodating and accepting town.

Amanda and I reach the front of the queue and I find myself unable to look directly at the girl serving me. 

“Hi! Welcome to Scoops Ahoy! What can I get you today?” She seemed overly enthusiastic for some reason. 

“Hi, is Steve here?” I say, breaking the awkwardness I had built up in my own mind. She looked away, disheartened? I couldn’t tell. 

“Steve, your sisters here” then she whispered something that sounded like “you can leave your little nerd friend to figure it out for a bit” but I wasn’t really sure. 

Steve appeared from around the corner.

“what do you want, squirt?” 

“2 sundaes please” I replied, smiling.

“that will be five dollars pleas-“

“STEVE! Can’t you gift your baby sister with a sundae for once?” I cut him off, appalled that he’s making me pay, but still keeping it lighthearted. 

“…fine. But only this ONE TIME” he shot back. I winked at him, thanked him, and waited for him to finish our sundaes. He brought them over and sat with us. 

“Who’s that girl?” I instantly questioned, trying not to sound too interested but failing miserably.

“Oh, that's Robin Buckley. She’s in your year at school, don’t you know her?” I do know her. But I don’t want to admit that yet, I want to play it cool.

“I think I’ve seen her around yeah, I’ve just never had a good look at her before. I think she’s in my social studies class?” I look to Amanda to ask this question but Amanda is already nodding by this point. Steve looks unconvinced. 

“well, I invited her for pizza tonight,” he said, not wanting to ask ‘is that ok?’ In front of Amanda to keep up his macho ‘I’m Steve Harrington’ persona. I glance over at Robin. By this time, she’s known as lovely Robin in my head. Not that I could help it, along with the butterflies in my stomach or the extreme excitement that she was going to be having dinner. With me. In my house. Tonight!… What am I doing? Get a grip of yourself! You’re not out - as if that is ever going to happen anyways - and Robin was coming for Steve. Of course she was. I mentally roll my eyes. Just my luck.

The rest of the day goes by pretty quickly. Amanda gets her outfit and ‘math’ earrings - which I still don’t understand - and I get a few cute t-shirts and skirts thanks to my allowance mom gave me before she went away. By the time I get home, it is 4 pm which means I have precisely 4 hours to get myself ready for tonight. I go to my room, read for a bit, then put my makeup on in my vanity mirror. I don’t want to mess this up, but then again, why am I caring so much?. I eventually get myself sorted and wait for 8 pm to roll around. At 7:45 I phone Hal’s Pizza Shop and order 2 pepperoni pizzas and 1 plain Margherita. I came to the decision that If Robin is vegetarian then she can have the just cheese, but if not, I’ll take it.  

I hear Steve’s key in the lock and he shouts to me from downstairs.

“Hey that's me back, y/n, did you order the pizza?” 

“Sure did!” I came to the top of the stairs and looked down at the front door. Robin was staring up at me and I couldn’t help staring at her back. Steve obviously missed this whole exchange of tension.

“Good! Because I’m starving. I’m gonna put a video on, anyone down for watching Indiana Jones?” He mimics a whipping sound and runs off to the living room, leaving Robin and me to awkwardly start a conversation. 

“So, you work with Steve. I’ll apologize on your employer's behalf.” I laugh, eventually. Robin looked relieved that I had said something, and even more so that it was a joke. 

“It's not as bad as you would think, he brings in loads of customers with that ‘magnificent hair’” she replies, making fun of Steve’s obsession with his, admittedly, perfect mane. 

“I’ve seen you about school before, sorry I’ve never talked to you before,” I said. I really meant it, she seems cool. And kinda hot? But that wasn’t important to me…

“Yeah, I guess our groups don’t tend to mix as much. I'm surprised you even know my name” she looks at her feet. She knows I know about the slurs and bullying, I can tell. Just then, there's a ring at the door and Steve reappears, running to get the door that we are standing 2 inches away from. 

After sitting, eating, chatting, and laughing our way through Indiana Jones, I realise Steve has fallen asleep beside me. So does Robin. We both snicker at him and then collectively tuck him in with the blankets on the back of the sofa. We sit in silence for a minute. 

“Robin. I want to say I'm sorry for all the stuff you get called at school. It's not cool and especially from my group-“

“it's fine” she cuts me off. She seems distant though. 

“I don’t think you understand what it does to me hearing people shout words like that at someone. It's inhuman,” Robin looks at me over her cup of hot chocolate Steve made us halfway through the movie. She looks on the verge of tears. “I mean, I don’t know how I would cope with that if people knew I was one too.” I look away from her confused stare in embarrassment. Robin is the first person I tell this massive secret to and I've only been in her company for the past 3 hours? But it felt right. It felt too right, almost.

Robin picks herself up from her space in the armchair and comes to sit on the arm of the sofa. She doesn’t hesitate to put her arm around my shoulders and squeeze me in for a side hug. I hadn’t realized that I had started to cry and I wipe my eyes and nose with the back of my hand. 

“I’m so sorry they said those things to you” I whispered while silently sobbing.

“Don’t worry about it, y/n, I have pretty thick skin when it comes to bullying. I've been in band for the past 3 years,” I look at her and let out a small laugh. The smile fades from her lips and a serious look takes over her face. “You don’t need to feel ashamed. Or embarrassed. I’m honored you told me, I know how much trust that takes. Thank you.” 

We sit embracing for a couple of minutes and I try to defuse the tension. “You know, I think you’re pretty hot.” She laughs, and I can feel the heat radiating off of her. She’s blushing. 

“You’re not too bad yourself, Harrington,” she gives me a small smile. “I think you’re the prettiest girl in our year.” Now it was my turn to blush. I’m not sure if she’s saying this out of courtesy, sympathy, or if she really means it. 

“You don't have to say that” I roll my eyes and let out an embarrassed giggle. 

“I do.” She whispers back, the darkness multiplying the tension by 10. After a while of nervous silence, not sure what to say next, Robin asks you a question.

“I hope I’m not out of line for saying this, and you can one hundred percent say no,” I looked at her, questioningly, “but why don’t we go out sometime? We can go to the park or we can go to the cinema. Your choice… if you want-if you want to.” She was visibly nervous. In the pitch black, with only the dim glow from the paused movie TV static lighting up the room, I agreed to go on a date with her (”I’d like that”). We both can tell the other is excited but can also tell the other is exhausted. Robin moves back over to the armchair, which was just big enough for a teenage girl to curl up in, and I curl up to my sound asleep brother. It takes a while to finally get to sleep, but I can’t help my mind doing laps, thinking about my future date with Robin Buckley.

HENRIK LILJENQUIST—

IG info/Bio: @/adventuresbyhenrik | 53.1k followers — “imma wild boi🌿🌏🧗 | happily taken👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨

23 (24) years old

Parents are both Swedish and only speak Swedish, leaving henrik to also become fluent

His father Halvi is a pilot

His mother Lova is a race car driver

Siblings? Probably a brother, named Jahan & younger by two or three years + they get along quite well

Born & raised in Isle of Wight, England + loves it there & thinks it’s the best place for him to live, it’s his own private island in his mind plus he’s always finding something to do. He stays active

Climbing & wilderness survival instructor, he gets to talk as much as he wants while also teaching people AND all while being active! Sounds like the perfect job for him

Probably developed ADHD around his pre-teen age, leaving his parents to find him something he enjoys + can slow down and focus on

used to be on meds for it

Was well-known in high school, probably in the yearbook club since he was able to run around & get to know people but was kinda shit at knowing the functions of a camera

His selfie game has gotten a lot better now but he mostly posts anything but his face. You’ll see more of his face on his stories & location shots on his feed

Feels his hair is his best physical feature & his prized possession, would never THINK about cutting it. Even just a trim is a bit much for him

Always tries to be positive but at the same time can be condescending since he sometimes won’t pick his words wisely ex.) when he gave MC a backhanded “compliment” about makeup, being active, + wanting them to “think of others ” feelings — just because someone is opposite from you doesn’t mean you have to shit on the way they carry themselves...that’s my issue with him

maybe he’s a Taurus?

Loves fall & spring, more so fall since that’s when the weather feels nicest to him plus allergy season is a REAL bitch

The guy’s real Adventurous & always managing to find something to do. If you’re ever bored just hit him up, he has plenty of recommendations 

Family owns a cottage & he’s the one who goes out there more than his own family does! “You should just sell it to me at this point!” He tells his parents over dinner often & it is strongly considered

Has five birds & a husky, when he goes on road trips they’re always with him. Which can get a little hectic at times but they’re his family, he’s a, “birdog dad”

BLAKE secretly dislikes them all, feeling like they take up space sometimes (especially when she wants to cuddle) but she deals with it since she cares for the guy — yes, they’re still dating

She’s been convincing him to cut a few inches off of his hair which he took like a slap in the face, “that’s like me asking you to quit speaking up for humans!” “No, no it’s not.”

They’re polar opposites with flaws which causes disagreements between the two of them by putting each other in their places but they learn to compromise? (*insert eartha Kitt gif laughing here*] if they want this to work

His mother seems to be the only one who dislikes blake (she strongly feels he should have bought MC back home...that’s right she watched the show from time to time. Not always since she doesn’t care for reality tv but her friends encouraged her to watch bits and pieces) while his dad and brother approve

It is tense when Blake and his mom are in the same room which makes Henrik sad since he believes Blake deserves a chance. He took a chance on her and it seems to be going pretty well so why couldn’t his mother just be happy for him like the rest of the family is?

Henrik loves his low-maintenance girls who are open to trying new things with him, Blake is usually down most of the time but she likes her personal space too..which henrik struggles to understand

He wants her to live with him, he’s sure his parents will let him have the cottage if Blake decides to live with him but Blake loves her freedom in Kingston

It’s hidden but I feel like he might be one of those guys that feels like “a woman should follow a man” since that’s what his father installed into his boys— which failed because his wife isn’t just a housewife, she has goals and went after them

I feel like Blake turns to social media almost always to post about her feelings (I can’t remember what I picked the first time around as my occupation but as I’m currently playing I picked human rights campaigner so) but it’s mostly subtle shade & it always goes recognized by fans which brings drama between her, mc x Bobby

Henrik jumps in because what kind of guy would he be if he didn’t have his gf’s back? Doesn’t care for the drama but he & Bobby usually said slick shit to each other in the villa, it’s safe to say they’re not really friends but they’re not enemies either that’s mostly between their gf/wife

Henrik doesn’t care enough about Bobby to dislike him but he won’t put up with his shit any longer and what easier way to do that than online? He feels like they can settle this with a phone call but Blake & MC aren’t with the shits and don’t want their men speaking to each other

Henrik & Bobby eventually have a chat in secret anyways

Henrik warns Blake that this can effect her job status if she doesn’t calm down since she uses social media for her cause

She usually knows when to stop but can’t help it if it slips out sometimes

They talk it out and move on usually with whatever fun idea henrik may have

Owns a ford bronco from the 90’s that used to be his uncle’s who builds tree houses for a living and is still running, a jeep gladitor, or some sort of pickup truck

Knows how to make the best apricot jam

All about saving the bees

Loves animals, probably on his journey to veganism if he’s not already there

We all know this fucking guy likes eating M0sS

“Embarrassing fact” but uh big fan of twilight, feels like Seth Clearwater and him are meant to be best buds but he also stans the Volturi 😷

Him and Lucas of course remained the best of mates, since they live 2 hrs away from each other and are always busy living their lives they always have to plan out when they can hangout but that fails 60% of the time when henrik pops up at Lucas’ job or at his flat not giving him a choice but to hang out

They’re always vacationing together too? Sure Henrik is his own version of low-key while Lucas likes a bit of luxury...they still find a balance to just have a good time regardless if they live different lifestyles...they’re basically married

Always texting if they’re not hanging out, henrik with his memes that Lucas doesn’t understand & Lucas just checking in on henrik’s well being which leads the conversation to many topics

He’s actually cool with Gary now? They like/comment on each other’s posts & even text here and there

Even ran into Rocco once on a road trip, that was interesting but when life gives you lemons...we’ll just say that

Even him and Ibrahim share recommendations through text or DM’s which is nice! Henrik is always down for friends even tho they’re not like his personal friends (except for Lucas, he fits into his criteria)

Most of his work is physical and talking but he goes the extra mile by hiking every Sunday either with his friends, Blake, or family — he’s genuinely likes being one with nature

If he’s at the cottage, he’s always outside, chopping extra wood, making sure the yard looks like it belongs on a magazine, or takes the boat out on lake to nap since he doesn’t like to fish as much anymore

Currently trying to grow strawberries but some animal keeps eating them :/

Adores adventure time, the x-files, bobs burgers + animal planet, and travel channels—like he’s a real dad

If he could shower outside everyday, he would, it’s such a freeing experience to him

His outings consist of being in the woods 24/7 so in his mind when he brings Blake out there with him, it’s a version of a date, whenever they spend time together is a date to him, which she has to remind him that she wants to do something different like getting dressed up every now and then + go out to dinner which he HATES but he’ll do his best to please her, as long as the restaurant is more earthy than snobby he’s okay

100% would survive the apocalypse, he knows how to make due with what he’s got, he’s always been that way

Enjoys rom-com’s so he’ll laugh at how cringe they are but still enjoy it, indie films, ALITA was the best film of 2019 to him & currently his fav film is, “the call of the wild” with Harrison Ford

His favorite films ever are Indiana Jones, Lara Coft: Tomb raider, Terminator, and I am legend

Aliens ARE real, they’re out there and he’ll be part of the reason they’ve been exposed

I feel like he wanted to be an astronaut growing up but then realized he’d be a confined space for long periods of time and said cancel that shit lol + he isn’t the greatest at science. History? He did real well in that subject

I think he loves Lorde, listens to Bon Iver—especially on early morning commutes to work, Rex Orange County, Omar Apollo, Joji, the nbhd, the driver era, kid cudi...yktfv

Celeb crushes?/types: The main girls from Charlie’s angels 2019, Alexa PenaVega... “you know Carmen from spy kids?” Diana silvers, Dove Cameron, JAMIE CHUNG, & VANESSA HUDGENS

Anthem = Wallows, “OK”

Nancy Drew Game Ideas

Plot Ideas:

Anarchanoid -

I've always wanted a nancy drew game similar to episode 3 of Sherlock, where she has to solve a mystery quick as every hour or so someone else gets killed. It would add a lot of tension and having people killed in different areas would be a good way to add more areas to investigate as the game goes on.

Anonymous -

A storyline involving a Serial Killer would be pretty dark. Particularly if they killed somebody close to Nancy.

Celiaeqqus -

I came up with an idea for a fan fic (and I really need to get around to writing it), where Nancy is kidnapped by some baddies who've heard about how good she is at solving mysteries. Who told them this? Dwayne Powers, who still has the map from RAN and is using a gang to get Nancy to help him find the treasure. Other prisoners alongside Nancy would be Henrik, since he's doing glyph translations, maybe Prudence Rutherford or Charlena Purcell, since they both have encyclopaedic knowledge about certain parts of history. If they did this as a game, maybe the player could get a chance to play as the other captives, so the majority of it isn't set in Nancy's cell. Of course, in the fan fic we'd see other characters from all over... maybe Nancy could have a TV in the room and sees reports of her family and friends - and people she's helped on past cases - doing their damnedest to find her?

Nancy Drew: Music of the Unknown

Nancy and Ned travel to Austria for a long overdue vacation. They have a romantic evening planned at a historic music hall to watch a famous conductor direct an enchanting, almost hypnotizing concerto she wrote herself. Half way through the concerto, the harmony turns to cacophony, the conductor passes out, and the lights go out. Rumors about the conductor fly around the theatre as the show pauses at an early intermission. Some people think the conductor is losing it. Maybe the conductor has pushed themselves too far. Maybe the conductor has a secret no one knows about. Nancy can’t help but feel there’s something more sinister afoot.

Although she promised Ned that there’d be no mysteries on their vacation, she can’t help but be pulled in by the music’s call. Can Nancy help the conductor before she’s pushed too far? Will this mystery break Nancy and Ned’s relationship? Go to Austria to find out. The music of the unknown is calling.

Detectivecatsuitdrew -

Nancy Drew: Mystery of the Vampire’s Curse

Nancy’s investigated werewolves, monsters, mummies, and all sorts of ghosts, so it’s time to head to Romania to investigate a vampire.

Nancy accompanies Carson on a trip to a small town in Transylvania, Romania to pick up a few documents and look into a few things for one of Carson’s clients. It’s the perfect chance to explore a quaint little town and  catch up on some father-daughter bonding time. All of that flies out the window when Nancy herself gets kidnapped! Some of the locals say there’s an actual vampire plaguing the town. Could that possibly be true?

Switch back and forth between Nancy and Carson to figure out who took Nancy and why, and more importantly, find out where she is before it’s too late. The stakes have never been higher, and the consequences of failing never more deadly.

Detectivecatsuitdrew -

Nancy Drew: The Secret in the Vineyard

When a vineyard’s owner dies, there’s no suspicion of foul play. The youngest child of the late owner, however, isn’t convinced. He calls on Nancy Drew to investigate. Her presence ruffles the feathers of the two older siblings. As the tension rises in the house, Nancy concludes that the coroner was right; the vineyard’s owner died by natural causes.

However, there’s a bigger mystery at hand. After learning the vineyard was used as a set in a film made in the 1950s, a film plagued with mishaps and even a crime that ended the film’s production, Nancy learns that the late owner may have taken a secret to the grave. Can Nancy solve a decade’s old crime? Are there other secrets hiding in this vineyard? Travel to Northern California to find out!

Detectivecatsuitdrew -

Nancy Drew: The Asylum Ghost

Nancy isn’t surprised to hear from her friend, Savannah Woodham. She is surprised, however, when she asks her to be her assistant for a new venture. Nancy travels to an old abandoned asylum alongside Savannah as Savannah serves as an expert in a new documentary, directed by John Grey from TRN of all people.

Nancy learns about one of the most infamous patients at the asylum, a woman labeled “Crazy Mary.” As John Grey’s crew works to capture footage and hauntings, Nancy conducts her own investigation alongside Savannah. Both women just know there’s something more to Mary’s story than history’s telling. Can Nancy set the past right?

Detectivecatsuitdrew -

Nancy Drew: The Note in the Sanctuary

Nancy decides to take some time to volunteer at an animal sanctuary with Bess and George. Everything is going smoothly until, one night, there’s a break-in! Someone tries to steal one of the animals, but why? To sell the animal on the black market? To keep it as a pet? Or is the sanctuary not as reputable as it seems?

With the help of her friends, Nancy has to figure out who’s behind the attempted crime before they strike again. More importantly, she needs to know the truth to make sure she’s doing what she originally volunteered to do: take care of the animals and make sure they’re safe.

Fashion77 -

Nancy could be flying to or from River Heights (whichever) and the plane could crash! The mystery could be to find out what caused the crash, find her missing friends (they were in the plane crash too), and/or find her way out of they jungle they crashed in (with no food or water she would only have so much time to survive)!

The Key Clue :) -

[They explained how the first game would end, so I put that under “Ending Ideas.”]

OK, so for the second game, it picks up where we left off and we learn a little more about what happened. The plane's been hijacked and unless Nancy is able to retrieve a device from a representative of the Australian branch of Krolmeister that's being sent to the US for testing, "her fellow passengers will pay the price." Nancy is told that they've brought enough fuel on the plane to allow them to stay up in the air for days and also have a secret island they'll be hovering around where they can refuel. They also disabled the device on the plane that allows them to be tracked before the plane took off. So the second game is basically Nancy being the only one who knows what's going on, has to tell the other passengers a reason made up by the hijackers for the odd event, and find and essentially steal this hidden device for them. If she succeeds, everyone will be OK and the plane will go back on course home. She has to hurry up, or else everyone (including air traffic control) will get suspicious. If any passengers find out what's going on, the hijackers cover will be blown. This whole event is supposed to be a secret from Krolmeister. If she contacts the police in any way, she'll suffer the consequences. I figure though that she can somehow reason with the hijackers to let her phone her friends for help, as long as they don't contact the police. They do tell Nancy, however, that if the police show up anywhere near them, "everyone will suffer the consequences." So Nancy is in a situation where she has to comply.

Likealonewolf -

I'm partial to Sweden because it's the only place I've been outside of the U.S. There's a lot of fun cultural things they could put in there. Lots of yummy pastries and deserts too. Maybe Nancy could have to pose as a volunteer at an open air museum similar to Skansen? That way they could have cute animals and incorporate the different parts of the country into one game without excessive travel. And there is train travel that Nancy could utilize. Also, it would actually make sense for the local characters to speak English because most Swedes can speak English.

Mardropkick -

I want another game similar to Phantom of Venice where you get to do a lot of undercover work, but make it be into some sort of organization. Ooh! maybe you have to go undercover as part of an organization to learn its secrets and spy on them for someone else.

Mardropkick -

The other thing that would be cool is a National Treasure type game where you had to travel to different locations, but make the background and story line darker. Maybe something about an unsolved case?

MississippiJoel -

A human trafficking theme.

Nancy is called to investigate the disappearance of a cute teenaged girl, snatched from the streets in a third world country.

As she digs deeper, she meets escaped former slaves from a shadow organization that kidnaps people and forces them into hard labor. Eventually, she sneaks into a labor camp, frees the girl, finds the diamonds the slaves were searching for (think Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom), they have a daring escape, and Nancy presents convincing evidence to the authorities of the existence of the kidnappers, leading to the liberation of the camp and the prosecution of the criminals.

I think that would be the perfect way to raise awareness of modern slavery, and would lend itself to the perfect amount of danger while telling the story in a compelling way.

Nanfanhan -

[Playing as the culprit] Let's say this is ICE you're playing. You have a checklist, but nothing else. You are out in the mountains, with a bomb. When you check your checklist, it says {} Let loose bomb on Avalanche Hill. {} Make sure no one gets suspicious. You can't see any part of yourself, or hear your voice, and you don't have money, inventory, other suspects around, or a cell phone, so you can't tell who you are. [What, you thought you'd know who you were?] You put down the bomb in the designated spot, then it goes... ..........EXPLOSION NOISE.......... [You switch to Nancy] "What was that noise?" And so on.

Pandaplusbunny -

If I had to write a darker-than-usual story, I'd probably make it something that affects more than just the characters in the story. A threat of bioterrorism (similar to the plot of Inferno maybe?) or a huge corporate or government scandal that could rock the nation/economy. I guess just make it more of a realistic threat instead of "Oo a spooky ghost!"

The problem is that tension is immediately dissolved when Nancy is sent on errands. They need to keep the thread going, with Nancy commenting, "I better get this task done or else xyz!"

Rrieger -

It's gonna sound horrible when I word it this way, but I'd love to see the target be an old fan favorite character instead of someone close to Nancy. Like, if they offed one of the cowboys from Secret of Shadow Ranch. I think this type of plot would serve a few points -- more emotional investment = more motivation to solve the game, a familiar place for old fans would bring that touch of nostalgia that sells so well, and new fans would want to play the old game to understand the whole deal. Win win win

Sedimentally -

I agree with bioterrorism. Like maybe someone breaks into the CDC and steals a new strain of deadly virus. They catch the guy but he won't give up where he hid it. While in custody, he tries to get a message out to his friend (he had to change the dropoff location at the last second when the police were on his tail.) The police intercept it but the message is coded. Now nancy is racing to find the stolen viles before the other guy can.

Tyrianpurple -

I think it would be cool if Nancy had to go undercover and infiltrate a cult based on an anonymous tip from someone on the inside asking to be saved, but because it was anonymous Nancy doesn't know who among the characters is the one asking to be rescued so she needs to maintain her cover. Snooping and investigating would have to take place at night and she would have to avoid getting busted. All the suspects would seem shady so it would be up to Nancy's investigating to figure out who is the one that asked to be rescued.

Ultimate game objective would be to not just save the victim but also implicate the cult leader.

Veryveryinteresting -

Maybe a plot based in a hospital, Nancy has to visit the morgue, patients, blood bank, something like that. Maybe one of the staff has disappeared or bodies gone missing, or the hospital is on lock down due to an outbreak of some kind. She could visit each floor of the hospital, including roof and creepy basement!

@yiikesyikes (post) -

I’d love for the next Nancy mystery to be set on a cruise ship like they’d planned on doing for the dossier games. The spooks! The waves! The mortal danger of being trapped on the ocean with a ruthless criminal!!!

They could even steal the entire plot from the 70s TV show. They had an immaculate episode where Nancy had to protect a mystery novelist who was being forced to live one of his murder mysteries. “The Mystery of the Ghostwriters Cruise” would be a Nancy game to remember!!

Ending Ideas:

Anonymous -

I want a Nancy Drew game that features Hotchkiss as one of the characters and at the end, it looks like the culprit is going to get away with their crime, but Hotchkiss comes over at the last second and hits them over the head with a guitar, saying, "Rock and roll, dear."

The Key Clue :) -

So, in the first game it would be Nancy in Australia - something we all want! I have absolutely no idea what the plot would be, but my idea involves more of the ending of this game. The game ends in a cliff-hanger. Just after Nancy explains the solution of the mystery and before the credits come up, Nancy is boarding her plane home. The plane takes off and an announcement comes over from the pilot. Something along the lines of "Ladies and gentlemen, we've reached our cruising altitude of 30,000 feet and the weather looks..." The pilot stops speaking abruptly and you here a crash over the PA system. The plane takes a nose dive and quickly comes up again back onto its regular course. A strange voice comes over the system and says "Would Nancy Drew please come to the cockpit immediately. If she refuses to comply with our wishes, her fellow passengers will pay the price." Something threatening along those lines. And that's it. The game ends.

Mayaw1010

Along the lines of SPY though, one aspect I really liked about that game and Ghost of Thornton Hall that I want to see more of is when we get to make choices that affect the game. I loved how GTH had multiple endings and SPY gave you the choice to work with the opposing group or not. For me, making choices that actually matter really creates tension.

[that-thing-that-feeling]

is there a video of the amalfi interview?? I can barely find anything on line

there are just a few clips and such so far, but there’s one article that looks to almost be a transcript of some of the Q&A. warning though: this is just the automatic google translate version of it, and unlike the vanity fair italia one which wasn’t so bad, this one is a translation mess, lol. i’ll put it all below the cut, though, anyway. it includes the ‘future projects’ question as well.

Charlie and Natalia have become famous for their performances as Jonathan and Nancy, two young reporters (from the third season) of a local newspaper in Hawkins, Indiana. First guest of the Giffoni Film Festival Meet The Stars, the young couple answered the questions of Giffoners:

What are the differences between you and the fashion / musical influences of your characters?

Charlie : The differences are few, we have almost the same musical tastes, one thing that fascinated me is the equipment of the eighties, totally different from the modern ones.

Natalia : The fashion of the series is fun and colorful, I have adopted that style also in my private life.

Who or what helped you in your career?

C: You always have to be on the piece, to take the opportunities that come your way, I think if you really want it you can have it and you have to fight hard not thinking about “free time”. The artistic side has always been my thought, even if initially being an actor was not my goal.

N: I grew up in a community that has always found itself and gathered in the theater, I’ve always been like that since I was a child.

What is it like working with two director brothers? (Duffer Brothers)

C: It’s exciting to see them work together, they can be really fun, imaginative and silent sometimes. they created an impressive feeling with the whole cast.

N: A fantastic duo, they decided to do something they liked as kids, they managed to put together a nice group of people, a real family.

How did you react when the parts were assigned to you?

C: I’m English, we shot a couple of scenes at the Los Angeles auditions. When I came home I often thought about the call, but when it arrived (in the middle of the night for the time zone) I simply said: “OK let’s do it!”. Then when I told my relatives well, it was different there.

N: When I received the call I was busy running, I celebrated the news believing I was alone but the people next to me looked at me like I was crazy.

If someone told you to redo a scene, which one would you like to redo?

C: The first season definitely, I was obviously inexperienced as with all the things you do the first time.In the following seasons I was definitely ready, I would gladly try the first season with this safety today.

How did you prepare yourself in a role of a woman so strong in an era (the 80s) where female emancipation was very present?

N: I was excited about the idea of ​​"adopting" Nancy and I immediately related to it. It was easy in the end, as we women relate a lot on the subject of exclusion. I liked the growth of the character where he initially feels mixed feelings inside, then his path changes, looking for the defense of the weak and fighting monsters of the upside without knowing that great strength where it came from. I feel a lot about that character in me

What were your impressions by reading the script for the first time and then reviewing the final product on Netflix?

C: I was reading various scripts, along with the official one was sent a similar one to a “trailer” with various info on different films on which the series was inspired. I remember being struck by the trailer, remaining immediately attached to Jonathan, with a doubt: I didn’t think the series would make so many people fall in love right away.

N: When you’re shooting, you never know the final product as it comes, I remember it was exciting to see it for the first time to understand how much love we put into this work.

Future projects?

C: Experience this festival and go to the Amalfi Coast, perhaps on a well-deserved vacation.

N: The life of an actor is a continuous “navigation on sight”, gradually and step by step the plan is adjusted and planned.

Ok so... Life Update!

A lot of stuff has happened in my life over the last year, and I think it’s finally calmed down enough I can actually write about it.

So anyone wondering what’s been going on with me lately, sit back, relax, and Keep Reading.

I warn you tho. It’s a long read, and probably mostly pretty boring, so if you just want the basic gist, you can scroll to the bottom of the post.

This life update comes to you in three parts:

1) Where I am now 2) A new car! 3) What is still to come

This is gonna be super long, so if you want the TL;DR version, scroll all the way down to the bottom.

So first things first, PART 1:

So, my husband got himself out of his super-abusive work environment and after a stressful six months of job searching (in which we were pinching every penny we had in the bank) he finally got himself into a nice work place that actually treats him like a person! Yay! (I realize most of this part was covered in the life update post I wrote back in October, but eh)

He had to take a SUPER hefty paycut hiring in here, but I fully believe it’s worth it. The pay he was getting at his old job allowed us to live pretty comfortably, but it was at the cost of his emotional well-being. I’m not gonna go into details on what they did, cuz that would take a WHOLE other post, and this one is long enough as it is.

SO!! While the husband hopped into our car and set off to start his new job in the far off land of corn, wheat, and soybeans, it was up to me to get the house packed up and sold, get the husband’s truck sold and gotten rid of (as he didn’t seem to think it could make it to Indiana in the shape it was in), and basically everything having to do with moving out of our house in Florida. This took place from early October to almost Christmas.

By the time I was done with all that, I was mentally and emotionally frazzled. I could barely perform basic social functions because I was so tapped out on all the phone calls I had to make. I hate hate HATE making phone calls. I can muster up the mental energy to make an important phone call if I really really need to, but doing so many over the course of a month left me absolutely drained.

It was a very stressful three months, and a might lonely without the husband, BUT I got it done! All of it! Only thing that technically isn’t done is that the house still isn’t sold, but that’s more on the realtor than on me at this point. My part’s done until she finds a buyer for it.

And so the week of Christmas, I pile into a rental van with the mom and sister (who came up with me so we could all be together for Christmas, plus they could take the rental back where we got it) and we drove up to Indiana.

I reunite with the husband, and we settle into the place we’re currently staying, which happens to be technically my in-laws’ lake house meant for family vacations. They were generous enough to allow us to use it until we get our own place, and I could not be more grateful for it!

So that’s where I am now.

PART 2:

So... it’s January. Winter here.

Unlike Florida, which doesn’t believe in seasons colder than maybe Spring, it... snows here in the winter.

The lake house we’re staying at is in a very hilly area. Lots of slopes and curvy roads because lakes.

So a couple weeks ago, we got in the car and left the house to head to go visit family.

And then we turned a corner and there was an S-curve... going downhill... covered in ice. Long story short gravity slid us into a pole.

Needless to say our trip was cancelled :V

All things considered, we were super fortunate that the pole stopped us, cuz if we had slid further beyond that, we would’ve likely ended up falling into a ravine... so... Yeah I prefer the pole over that!

We were slow enough we made it out mostly unharmed. The worst we got was a pair of bruised knees and a scuffed wrist.

But the car was a total loss. So we had to drive on a rental for a couple weeks until we could get a new car, which our insurance covered pretty well. They didn’t cover the rental, but that was more on me than them cuz I didn’t opt for that coverage cuz i didn’t think I’d ever need it.......... ._.

SO ANYWAY a couple days ago we went and got a new car and returned the rental and now everything is nice again! Yay! Except now we also have car payments! :D

But they’re not too bad tho, since the insurance money covered such a big chunk of it.

PART 3:

So right now, we’re just waiting for our house in Florida to sell. Once that finally happens we can start taking steps towards getting a new place.

Right now we can’t do anything because first of all, we still have to pay mortgage, and until it is sold we will continue to have to pay mortgage. Second of all, we’ve got a mountain of credit card debt racked up because MOVING OUT OF STATE IS NOT A CHEAP PROCESS HOLY FUCK!!

With the storage and the rentals and the packing supplies and the uuuuugghh @_@

....yeah stuff is stress right now.

But hey! Now that I’m done with all the moving nonsense (for now), I can finally get back to making art!

@underfellfangame​ has been super patient and understanding during this whole process. I know he’s super stoked about me getting back to work, and I know I could use every dollar I can earn at this point. xD

Plus I actually miss making art! I really needed the break, but I’m actually pretty hyped to do something that doesn’t involve phone calls and paperwork.

So you can expect more Underfellfangame-related art from me..... fairly soon? I can’t make promises how soon cuz it’s still slow going, and real life shenanigans can come out of nowhere (as was evident by the whole business with the car)

So stay tuned for that!

Maybe once my house sells and I’m finally able to get my credit cards back under control, then I might be able to think about doing art for myself again. Maybe I’ll even think about finally trying my hand at actual commissions, who knows?

For now, I’m just gonna do what I can to earn what little extra money I can get in the meantime whilst the husband earns his paychecks.

BONUS PART 3b:

I don’t know how long it’ll take to sell the house, and I don’t know if we’ll be able to keep up with the house payments with the husband’s paychecks and what little money I can get with my art.

So as much as it pains me to do this.... I’m asking the internet for help.

If anyone has a few bucks to spare,  I could always use some coffee. Aside from this I’m open to ideas.

And here I will copy and paste what I wrote in my post back in October because it’s still 100% true.

I’m afraid I don’t have anything to offer in return at the moment, which is why I haven’t asked for monetary help previously, and even then I’m putting my plee at the bottom of a long post hidden under a cut.

After I’m finally moved and settled down and my life once again becomes stable, I might be able to do something in thanks, but until then I make no promises.

So please please PLEASE don’t feel like you have to. It is just coffee, after all. This is only if you really want to help and just happen to have extra dosh. Also I just really like coffee.

[[Click Here to Buy Me Coffee]]

If you made it this far, holy cow thank you so much for taking the time to read all this!

Just doing that by itself is amazing, and I can’t thank you enough for caring enough to read all this. I know it’s a lot @_@

Thank you. Seriously, thank you.

Now, I’m going to go try and do what I can to make sure my life stays in order.

Hopefully I’ll succeed! We’ll see.

TL;DR VERSION

Even if you only read this bit, thank you very much for your time! It really means a lot to me. =)

Part 1: My husband got a new job and we’ve moved from Florida to Indiana, which super stressed me out, but we’re okay so yay!

Part 2: We lost our car in a crash, but then got a new one! Yay!

Part 3: We’re currently in house limbo waiting for our old house to sell, and our money is super tight, but now I have time to make art again! Yay! Even if it is just Underfellfangame stuff for now. Bonus Part 3b: We could use some help. If you like what I do and would like to help us more easily get through this trying ordeal, you can buy us some coffee here.

Attica! Attica!

This sucks but I like Attica as a neurotic republican politician. Idk how to write Leon being mute or whatever I just gave him a stutter bc...communication. Also I dearly wanted Serena to have a solid place in the cast so I was like, what the hell, she can be on Attica’s staff. Idk if she should have an important position like campaign manager or something but rn she’s just an assistant. Also since this is Attica’s POV Serena is less funny and Leon is idk more caring than he actually is bc she perceives them that way (Serena is actually funny and Leon is actually a dick)

Its funny because I’m pretty sure Attica is going to be the “good guy” on the protagonists side and help them and Milo is going to end up being a terrifying source of trouble for everyone. Also I was like ok and rolled the ethnicity dice and was like the Kings can be Chinese and the surname King was changed by their grandfather from Qing when their family really started grabbing power, and then was like ok Serena’s adopted but she’s of Iranian origin (guess that means Danny is too)

$$$$$

Attica King averaged 4 hours of sleep a night. And that was if she was lucky.

Looking at twitter was giving her heart palpitations, but what was she supposed to do, 5 weeks before the Midterm elections? Her numbers guy said that her district would re-elect her by a large margin-- it was red. It had always been red. It wasn’t like that hippie freak who was running against her had a chance in hell. People in Indiana loved her. People in DC though, where she spent considerably more of her time, hated her guts. The vitriol and fake news that journalists were spewing about her online proved that much.

“I’m gonna kill somebody,” Attica said. It was 7 am. She had already been to the gym, showered, sensibly done her hair and make-up, and put on the kind of suit that said ‘listen to me you dummy’. She brandished her phone at her Chief of Staff. “Do you see what they’re saying about me, Leon? They act like I’m some kind of younger, smarter, Chinese female version of Stalin all because they can’t bully me into voting for their stupid gun regulations. People are out there blowing each other up with their minds! What the fuck am I supposed to do, help get rid of guns and leave every sucker who can’t do magic defenseless?”

Leonard, Attica’s Chief of Staff and younger brother, shrugged helplessly. She liked to think of him as the RFK to her JFK. Without the whole getting shot in the head thing. “G-get off twitter,” he said. He was not partaking in the breakfast that Attica’s assistant picked up for the team. Something about the breakfast pastries and espresso made him bitch about how unhealthy it all was. Leon opted to bring a protein shake instead, which worked out for him. At 6 feet tall and weighing over 200 pounds of muscle, he was often mistaken for her bodyguard if he wasn’t dressed up. He kept his black hair shorn close to his head, which didn’t help either. It made him look like he was the type to rip people apart with his bare hands. “You’re obsessing.”

“Where the fuck is Myers?” she asked. “He’s my communications director. Shouldn’t he be out here, I don’t know, directing? Putting an end to all this fake bullshit.” Attica looked at her phone again, pulling up a particularly offensive tweet. “‘ King is unhinged and desperate, putting the needs of lobbyists in front of the needs of her constituents.’--and this is posted with that terrible picture of me, that unflattering close-up where I had pollen in my eyes so they looked red.” She was gripping her phone so tightly that her knuckles went white. “Now whose fault was that? I didn’t have my eye-drops.”

The only other staff member present, Attica’s personal assistant of 3 years, went bug eyed. This was magnified by her thick lensed glasses. She put up her hands defensively and almost dropped the armful of manila folders she was holding. “That’s not my fault, that picture was from when I took some personal time off.”

“That was when you were vacationing in the mental hospital again and I had to rely on a temp for two weeks and was completely up shit creek without you, Serena, so yes it was completely your fault.”

Serena was in her mid 20’s and pretty in a frazzled, underfed, nerdy way. She had only been hired because she was Iranian or something and Attica had been afraid she looked racist after making some allegedly offensive comments while supporting the President’s drone strikes in the Middle East. As it turned out, Serena was brilliant and had graduated from Notre Dame with a degree in Political Science, an inexplicable Chemistry minor, and a desire to work on the Hill. The only reason Attica hadn’t appointed her to a more important position at this point was due to her unfortunate tendency to eat handfuls of pills whenever life got too stressful.

Attica quickly cycled back to the matter at hand. She poured some coffee, which she knew would only make her keep vibrating. It was her 3rd cup of the day. She felt like a hummingbird. “What am I going to do about these people degrading me online?”

From where he sat on the couch, Leon leaned over to out his face in his hands. Dramatic bitch. “For the last time, remember the first amendment.”

“R-r-remember the f-f-first amendment,” Attica repeated in a high pitched child’s voice, mocking him. She chugged the rest of her coffee and caught Serena staring at her like she had lost her mind. At this rate she was going to going to have a heart attack before she turned 40. “Grandfather would have sent someone after those motherfuckers with a crowbar.”

“G-Grandfather was a monster.”

He was right. But being monstrous was just more effective. Who was that old dead guy who said it was better to be feared than loved? Napoleon?

Attica kept looking at her phone. Too bad people didn’t seem to fear her yet. She could feel the blood pounding in her face. When she was angry, her skin turned very red, blotchy and unattractive. It couldn’t be helped. And what she was reading made her angry. Half of what she was mentioned in was negative. And half of those were violent, threats against her. “Here,” she said, landing on an egregious one. “‘King’s giant tits once again distracting everyone from her cloven hooves lol’. I want this person dragged into the street and shot.”

“Jesus C-Christ, c-c-calm down.” The muscles in Leon’s face tightened. He was gritting his teeth.

“Ma’am, maybe you should put your phone away,” said Serena.

Attica kept reading. “‘The NRA owns King but how would she like it if she got used as target practice’. ‘If I saw (pretend this is an at sign)AtticaKingIN in real life I would punch that bitch in the face.’” She began to breathe faster. Were these people from Indiana? Would they vote? Did they actually hate her? Who were these people? “‘King is part of the GOP gestapo’. ‘(at)AtticaKingIN doesn’t care about gun violence in her own state, vote her out!’ ‘I hate that dumb cunt (at)AtticaKingIN she needs to shut her mouth or suck my dick’. ‘I--”

Leon stood up, snatched Attica’s phone out of her hands, then held it above her head where she couldn’t reach it. Attica punched him in the chest but her brother was a wall of muscle and didn’t seem to feel it.

“Seriously, A, you need to c-calm down,” he told her. Attica punched him again. “I don’t want to know about the threats anyone’s making towards you, it’s upsetting. At 9, that lobbyist who works for Madeline C-Caligaris--”

“Do you want some xanax?” Serena interrupted.

Attica spun around to glare at her. She was aware of how flushed she must look. It was just...she cared so much about what people thought about her. “No,” she said coldly, but breathing heavily. She brushed a strand of hair away from her face. Imagine if Grandfather could see her now. After all, he had wanted Leon to head the family business. Hell, before he died, the old man had even expressed regret for treating their youngest..brother, Milo, like a stray dog. But never her. And Attica had tried so hard for all those years and slaved away just to get his validation… “Do you need a xanax, Serena?”

“I do now,” muttered Serena.

Attica tried to grab her phone one more time, then gave up and sat down.

It wasn’t even 7:15.

She took a deep breath to clear her head. “Ok. Tell me about this lobbyist. Calligaris-- that’s the Proverge exec, right?”

Leon nodded curtly. He put his sister’s phone in his breast pocket and sat down next to her. With a sudden rush of urgency, Attica realized that all he had wanted to do was protect her. How had their roles switched like that? When they were little she constantly made herself torment the kids who picked on him for the way he talked. After 30 years he barely even stuttered anymore. “C-can I get those files from Foster v Proverge, please?” Serena leafed through her armful of papers and presented him with the relevant ones. “Thanks. You read this, A?”

“Let’s work under the assumption that I didn’t.” She had been too busy talking to her numbers guy about the polls the previous night to actually look into anything that would affect her policies.

“Proverge wants to build a factory in your district. Magic distillation for use in their products. 200 new jobs. They c-can’t get approval in Indiana anymore-- they c-can’t get approval from most places these days because of all the lawsuits. People protest.”

Attica rolled her eyes. Liberals. “What lawsuits?”

“From the early 2000’s. Proverge distillation factories in Georgia, Tennessee, and Michigan all attempted to c-cover up widespread negative variant medical symptoms that affected workers who were exposed to thauma-slurry being distilled unsafely.” Leon flipped a few pages of the file. “Mostly c-cosmetic. But there were c-claims that the exposure to the slurry also lead to violent psychological problems and some c-clearly unsafe environmental effects.”

People were so whiny. Attica shrugged. “200 new jobs is more important than a couple honest mistakes the company made. I want to make this happen-- an announcement about job creation could really push my numbers in the polls. If protests become a problem, I’ll just send in the cops to clean them up.” She paused. “Or, I’ll send in Milo.”

Leon looked at her like he was trying to peerinto her soul or something. His broad, honest face was genuinely concerned. What did he see in her face? Did he see the will to do whatever she had to? “He’s g-g-getting worse. You c-can’t keep doing that.”

“The fuck I can.”

“He’s not listening to me anymore.” Leon’s face twisted up. Out of the whole family, he was the only one who treated Milo as more than he was. He allowed their deviant half brother to terrorize everyone as he pleased, just because he felt sorry for the bastard. “He’s go-g-going to screw up.”

The thing about Milo, was that someone had to be holding his leash.

“He’s fine,” Attica said with finality. “Maybe if he fucks up bad enough, he’ll actually learn his lesson.”

Leon stood up, handed her phone back, and walked out of the room without saying another word.

“Are you talking about your creepy little brother again?” asked Serena. She was scurrying around, straightening up the breakfast pastries and exuding her nervous energy. “He makes me uncomfortable.”

Attica massaged her forehead. “Me too,” she said. “Can you get in touch with the Proverge people and make sure they’re on their way?”

“On it.”

She could feel a headache coming on. But getting the credit for creating 200 new jobs... it was worth it. It was even worth dealing with Milo. It was worth it. She could be proud of herself. It was worth it. It would all be worth it.

Wouldn’t it?
