The sunlight's in Eddie's eyes. He takes a step back into his room, into the shade, leaving the door wide open and Dustin motherfucking Henderson standing on the other side, real life and in the flesh.

For what it's worth, this was my favourite chapter to write.

The fact that this is the point of the thousand mile drive he has undertaken is not lost on him, but now faced with having to actually find Dustin in this place and after that, find something to say to him - and then, quite possibly after that, find something to say to Steve -
Eddie finds a motel instead.
🔥🔥📞📞 please!
Double the fun!!
"It was boring," Max says, dry, and turns a page. "I tried to talk to an NPC and she just…" Max sticks her tongue out in a deeply unimpressed blah. "Like, all she had was which way and how far to the village. At least your NPCs have a personality."
Eddie's eyes are wild and there's a touch of desperation in them as the knock shakes the door again and Mike's voice yells, "I need to use the phone. It's too loud in the kitchen."
"You don't even live here," Steve shouts back.
Using this to try to force me to make a start on the four prompts on my Steddie bingo card that currently exist only in my brain (we’re not talking about the ones that don’t exist at all yet). The below are the prompts - which I do have intentions for but frankly who knows what's going to come out once I start trying to make words.
Rules: send me an emoji in an ask and I’ll write some quantity of words/sentences (who knows honestly) from that wip.
🔥Hellfire (I know jack all about D&D so this is going to get interesting fast)
🏆 Prize (this is either going to be fluffy af or NOT AT ALL depending on which side my brain's turning over on when I get going)
📼 Family Video (this is … currently porn.)
📞 Phone Sex (this one's … not porn. Currently.)
And just for kicks:
👀 Ask me for something else. Go nuts. I’m feeling whimsical.

Eddie does not have a plan. He doesn't know how you go about showing up on the doorstep of a friend who has spent the last several years believing that you died in a hell dimension, especially when you aren't sure where the doorstep in question actually is.
Let's see if I can not fuck up posting this one this time, huh.

Eddie hasn't left Washington since he first set foot off a federally mandated transport plane. It's not like he's not allowed - as far as he knows he can go wherever he likes with the likely exception of a fifty mile radius around Hawkins, Indiana, even though no one has ever explicitly said so.
Holy shit I'm actually posting it DEEP BREATHS IT'LL BE FINE

Notes: This is the happy ending fixit fic to my own HNC, Fleeting to the Sea, which made me so sad that I couldn't leave it alone. (You don't have to read that first, but I think you should because I really like it and NOW WE'RE FIXING THE SAD ENDING OK). Anyway, here I am 45k later.

The Hawkins post from March 31st 1986 is a malnourished issue. Three sheets of paper folded in half to make twelve pages, most of which are taken up by missing person posters and emergency arrangements for people who need somewhere to stay. There are reminders of where classes are continuing for the graduating classes of '86, be it high, middle or elementary, and a reminder to just come back in the fall otherwise. Half the Post's staff were missing or dead at that point (as detailed on page four) and the property damage to the offices would have made publishing difficult.
Eddie made the front page, though.

"Also, John is so Gen X that he's narrating his slow descent into madness by insistently and continuously making Pop culture references for literal aliens."
[image description: a photo of the main characters of Farscape on an earth-like planet in front of a blue sky with white clouds. Below that, a screenshot of a tumblr post with the username missing reads:
for the record, if you have never watched Farscape: it is a show about an American astronaut who gets stranded in space with a bunch of aliens. this description is technically accurate but tells you nothing about the actual experience of watching the show.
if it helps any, please consider that the main characters are, in no particular order:
a jock who’s very good at math and surprisingly good at feelings
an ex-space cop who combines the fighting-for-her-life aptitude of Ellen Ripley with the understanding-her-own-emotions aptitude of Seven of Nine
Space Javert
a big weird puppet friend with like 12 arms. you will want to hug him.
Fun Worf
“wow i wonder how she got so calm and centered, she seems very wise” “oh yeah i used to be an EXTREMELY violent anarchist and I’m holding onto my chill by my fingernails at all times”
like, what if Yoda had 0 wisdom to impart and was just a horrible little bastard man who only wanted to do crimes
alien girl on Space Rumspringa except she’s never going back because on her home planet feelings are illegal
/ID]
I reblogged that one once I learned. I love that it came out of Tumblr.
The jock who is good at math is also terrible at fights. He's the lost US Astronaut and also despite knowing next to nothing about massively advanced alien tech beyond his ken is also, notably, the only one good at math.
Also everyone is so very horny. So, so horny.
Don't forget Space Rumspringa also tries to steal anything not bolted down and some things that are. And while she definitely ties to fuck her way out of trouble it feels like it would be less violent if she just killed a guy.
All trauma all the time for everyone also, you all have so much PTSD they introduced a character to the crew who was the physical manifestation of the trauma of death for the entire universe.
Dick joke, dick joke, dick joke, hey did we mention how we were all horrifically ripped from our homes and loved ones and then thrown into a place of unending torment with no hope for escape hahaha, dick joke, dick joke
If You Meet A God You Should Immediately Start Shouting At Them
Also don't forget Unfrozen Caveman Space Archeologist from ancient advanced civilization who hates violence and wants you all to know you are all so stupid, and Space Witch who is basically a drug dealer or maybe biological warfare engineer, I'm not sure.
That show was many people's pansexual and monsterfucker awakening. Nerds kick ass. Geeks are full of anarchist wisdom. The Jim Henson Company answering "what can you do with this" with "hell yes"
It's a good show.
Also there's comics.
Everyone at each other all the time: "You would not last ten seconds on my planet," except at the human where at one point they directly ask him how such a pathetic species is still alive.
You know all those “Humans are Space Australians” jokes?
They made it a show.
Every Farscape episode can be boiled down to:
1) A failed Get Rich Quick scheme, often involving either sex or drugs
2) Space shenanigans make everyone high. I CANNOT overstate how often this comes up. Sometimes it's actual drugs, sometimes it's silly lights, alien parasites, or a random visiting alien whose species Is Just Like That.
3) Holy shit, the cops found us, everybody run!
4) The crew gets conned by yet another alien grifter because THEY are all convinced that THEY are the best grifters out there.
5) Monster of the week but its sole purpose is to create character growth or reveal some hidden reason why one of the characters isn't a completely irredeemable shithead.
The crew of Moya have exactly three collective brain cells in any given episode, and generally Pilot has at least one of them. Unsurprisingly, nobody ever listens to Pilot.
There is an entire episode where a character sustains head trauma and hallucinates himself into Looney Toons. It involves the line "Lock up your daughters and hide the fried chicken!"
None of the characters have any sense of personal space.
It is a frelling PHENOMENAL show and everyone should watch it.
"You are tampering with vast forces beyond your comprehension."
"LEROYYYYYY JENKINS!!!"
huh! did not realize that post had escaped containment.
anyway go watch Farscape! It’s audaciously weird and heartbreaking and clever and never met a status quo it couldn’t blow to smithereens. Also there are Muppets.
I remember catching a few episodes on TV when it was airing, but now I really want to watch the series properly.
It's on Tubi!
If you want to watch there are some live streams on youtube. Including one in English, one in Spanish, and one in german all on the official YouTube page.
