No Clue Where The Mlp Infection Thing Originated But Now In My Girlboss ADHD Brain I Had This Extremely

no clue where the mlp infection thing originated but now in my girlboss ADHD brain I had this extremely specific Stranger Things au based off of both that and "Heathens" by twenty-one pilots ok buckle up because there is no guarantee this will be formatted pretty

** and please note!!! I do not support the show anymore, nor the Zionist actors who are in the show!! This is born purely out of hyperfixation, I do not intend to promote the show in any way**

IMAGINE, OK, post season two with the tunnels? Ok now imagine that the spores were like parasitic but they were dormant. WE THEN SKIP to season 4, when everyone is in the upsidedown. These parasites are activated. Slowly, the infection begins to take over the bodies of anyone who had those spores (pretty much), but instead of becoming mindless they are more like, echos of their past selves.

Let's also pretend, for a moment (and because I love him and live whumping the shit out of him) Steve is immune. The others are not. The infection spreads from the core group of kids, starting with Will ofc, who else, and outwards. Eventually, everyone who has been inside the upsidedown is infected.

They are not entirely themselves, yet, they do remember one thing - their live for their big brother and friend, Steve. This love becomes obsession, and the infected do not realize that they are infected, and seek out Steve. Now, imagine, Steve, unable to leave, trapped in his house with the living rotting bodies of his friends,

AND IN THE MOST SERIOUS WAY POSSIBLE please imagine one of those amv or animatics to "Heathens" by twenty-one pilots. You now see my vision.

You know, I for one am so glad they had the Grover and Ares scene in the diner. We got a glimpse into just how resourceful and smart Grover can be, it's gonna make season 2 so much better now that we've established that I'm so excited!!!

look at my genius children staring directly into a bright light

If they make Simon and Maddie have romantic feelings for each other in season two I will scream

My fanfic preferences are so silly. For my favorite masc characters I want the most gut wrenching hurt/comfort possible, bonus if it comes with a little (read: a lot) insecurity and parental issues on the side.

And for my favorite fem characters I want the most tooth rotting fluff because they've been through ENOUGH already and deserve a break

Okay but are we surprised Arthur attached himself to Merlin so ridiculously quickly? When he found out he was not just a big disappointment to his father only in 1x09? Whereas Merlin has been telling him his life is worth more than a trophy at a melee since ep2 and disrupting important treaty signing ceremonies because Arthur might be in danger
