Vent Under The Cut

vent under the cut

sometimes I think Stranger Things might actually be the death of me. I'm so dependent on that damn show for my whole wellbeing and it's how I escape everything, but I'm not sure if that's going to work too much someday. And I know it's something so stupid and mundane and not even valid but really my cat and this damn show are only things that keep me going. My one and only and best friend is ignoring me, life is just me army crawling to the finish line and I don't even know what lies ahead there, and nobody wants to listen to me. Life didn't start out okay for me and I know this is dramatic but it never will be. I didn't get to have a normal fucking childhood, I had to grow up around constantly drunk and angry people and I was the most hated kid in class all the time. Never been to a birthday or a sleepover or even had any notable friends that didn't bully me relentlessly. Getting off track but seriously, the only actual "friend" I have is my one mutual who sometimes tags me in things. If you're reading this then sorry if I'm bombarding you with likes or reblogs or comments, I'm clingy and horrible with people. Distancing myself has been the safest option recently. Don't talk, don't accidentally bump into anyone, don't ask for anything, don't need anything, don't want anything, get the best grades you possibly can and maybe you'll survive. Maybe. If you've read this far then sorry and thanks I guess. Don't feel obligated to do anything, just thanks. Needed to get this off my chest somehow.

this is just for fun! I’m gonna do side characters in another poll too (ie Vickie, argyle, Eddie, Karen, Erica, etc)

and if u explain ur answer in the tags I’ll love u forever btw

tag the first white man that comes to mind upon reading this

I saw someone make an ASMR au where Eddie and Steve are asmrtists so I wanted to throw out an idea into the void 

Eddie is an up and coming asmrtist who specializes in mainly satirical/crack ASMR. Steve, a beauty asmrtists who does mostly OOTD,  makeup/hair content,  absolutely falls in love with Eddie’s videos due to homesickness. 

Steve and Robin had to move for college and he misses the party (Dustin, Erica, Eleven, Will, Lucas, Jonathan, Nancy, Argyle, Mike) a lot, and we all know that together that is an absolute Force to be reckoned with. 

Steve stumbles upon Eddie’s small YouTube channel and falls in love with how chaotic his videos are. It reminds him of the insanity of home, and the small DND rambles are always the best way to stop Steve from crying. 

I’m just imagining Steve clicking a video and Eddie’s face comes on screen, he has rings on his fingers and he waved to the camera calmly, doesn’t do an intro, and whispers “hey, you look tense. Does your back hurt? Oh, it doesn’t?” And Steve thinks it’s gonna be a normal role play until Eddie pulls out a knife and goes “would you like it to?” And it just devolved into chaos after that where Eddie pretends  to get kidnapped by aliens or something. 

One of Eddie’s most famous videos is of him pretending to be a guy the viewer has a one night stand with and he goes around your house dropping dnd figurines in all your shoes. There’s another one under the one night stand category where Eddie is obviously playing the role of someone you’re trying to seduce into bed but he keeps getting sidetracked and talks about odd conspiracy theories and keeps trying to show you how cool his shrek impersonation is. 

There’s one where Eddie is literally doing ASMR dumpster diving but he only speaks the entire bee movie script.  (Think AngelicaASMR before she entered her trad fem phase.) Eddie has a video where he pretends to be a raccoon trying to overtake the government, and he ends up making it a series and eventually he adds a plot to it. There’s also one where he is having a serious conversation about the struggles of raising children until you realize that the person he’s talking to is a tiny plastic dinosaur.  He also has a mini series where he plays with said tiny plastic dinosaur and pretty much makes a soap opera using a bunch of cheap trinkets. there’s some especially deranged ones where you’re a door and Eddie is trying to rip you off your hinges. There’s one where he runs a cult based off of guitar picks but it gets increasingly harder and more nonsensical to follow as the video continues. 

Every once in a while he’ll break character and laugh into the camera, unable to keep himself together, but he never takes it out. He is NOT taking himself seriously at all and Steve adores it.

sorry if anyone is waiting on Moonlight part 2, it is ROUGH rn, but I'm fleshing it out as I go :/ here's a lil' bit? ;>

They avoid each other like the plague. Well, it's mostly Steve avoiding Eddie a little more than usual. He even starts sending Tommy to buy weed instead of just getting it himself, which means that no, that was not in fact a weird ass dream and Steve most definitely is a werewolf. And Eddie called him a good boy. He doesn't know which is more embarrassing, the fact that he cuddled with him like he was a dog or the fact he kind of misses that.

i NEVER thought I'd be saying this but.... I revisited Look What You Made Me Do (ITS STILL GOOD) and.... now I kinda wanna listen to Taylor Swift 👀👀👀 and not even just Reputation
