Og:

every once in a while when i'm working on a fic, i get sucked down a research rabbit hole and emerge hours later without having made much progress. in an attempt to save others from this fate, i've begun putting together a spreadsheet of stranger things canon notes/references.

it includes everything from a list of every character mentioned on the show to locations in hawkins, a timeline of events, brands each character uses/eats, and other facts such as movies mentioned, birthdays, and more. no more wondering what eddie smokes! (he smokes camels, for the record.)

i figured i'd share just in case! go forth and prosper or whatever it is we're doing today. i'll continue updating as new information comes to light/i get the energy.

okay but have you considered steve has a mini fridge in his room filled with water and some other high protein snacks to give to his guests after sex but he hits kinda dry spell after the events of s3

when he and eddie start hanging out all the time, he fills his mini fridge for the first time in months with all of eddie’s favorite drinks and snacks and eddie is just like fucking baffled bc how tf can you afford a mini fridge? *why* tf do you have a mini fridge like just go downstairs?? and steve explains that he originally got it so he wouldn’t have to go downstairs every time he had sex to get his guests stuff and eddie is just like. speechless. eventually after a lot of blushing he just mumbles like “bro we get it you get a lot of girls stop being a show off” in a faux annoyed tone to which steve is both like a little offended but mostly amused and fully like wtf ok weird jab??

meanwhile eddie hasn’t realized the fridge is filled with all his favorites, he’s just trying. so. hard. to not think ab steve fucking other people

no, but the way fanfiction, fanart and fanon have made me so delusional I'm full on going to watch season 5 expecting eddie to be alive and long-term dating steve harrington...

“While many people think fanfiction is about inserting sex into texts (like Tolkien’s) where it doesn’t belong, Brancher sees it differently: “I was desperate to read about sex that included great friendship; I was repurposing Tolkien’s text in order to do that. It wasn’t that friendship needed to be sexualized, it was that erotica needed to be … friendship-ized.” Many fanfiction writers write about sex in conjunction with beloved texts and characters not because they think those texts are incomplete, but because they’re looking for stories where sex is profound and meaningful. This is part of what makes fan fiction different from pornography: unlike pornography, fanfic features characters we already care deeply about, and who tend to already have long-standing and complex relationships with each other. It’s a genre of sexual subjectification: the very opposite of objectification. It’s benefits with friendship.”

Someone put it into words. I gotta sit down

*Btw this is for stress relief. Drawing for me is addicting and i just can't function if i don't draw for a period of time. Now, if you excuse me, i'll get back to my exams:"(*

Supernatural really missed out on having an ongoing mini plot where Dean finds out Claire has been going by the Winchester name, because she realized it has pull with hunters and monsters. And at first he's flattered and gives her a call saying it'll probably get you in trouble so stop. But over time it keeps croping up that monsters and hunters keep mentioning, oh I didn't realize you had a kid? And of course it inevitably blows up in Claire's face which leads Dean calling her saying that she needs to get her ass to the bunker now. She's grounded. And right next to Dean is Cas and his phone starts ringing. Cas sighs and hands it to Dean because it's Claire. It's the best day of Dean's life. He answers and is like, hey kid. There's no praying your way out of this one. Cas also says you're grounded. Wanna go three for three? I can call Jody right now.
