The quintessential breakaway71 experience:
* found family
* human characters becoming something not-quite-human
* crossovers that should probably not work in a canon setting BUT I'LL FIT THEM TOGETHER IF IT KILLS ME
...I feel like this should be my pinned post.

I have concluded my Stranger Things rewatch and must now crawl into a cocoon and perish.

There has never been and will never be another scene in all of TV that effects me the way Eddie playing my favorite Metallica song in the Update Down does.
It doesn't even matter how many times I watch. It is perfect.
Actually perfect.
Notably also my favorite signed art piece in my collection.

The thing lurking in my walls woke me up out of a dead sleep at 5am and I have so much resentment.

It's that giving time of year again, so this is a reminder that no matter how they try to dress it up, the Salvation Army is not a charity.

I am down to the last episode of the last season of my Stranger Things rewatch and, uh. You know what. What if I just. Don't? What if I just pretend this episode never happened? (even if it's kind the most important piece for the entire gigantic fic I'm trying to finish?)

Guys. If you have not done a Stranger Things google search recently. You need to. I don't love Google as a search engine, but this delighted me.
Do it. Roll the D20.

Loving the sound of something scratching and clawing and scrabbling inside my walls while watching a show like Stranger Things. Really adds to the ambiance.

Most of the way through S3 of my Stranger Things rewatch. The Robin coming out to Steve scene still gives me ALL the feels. ALL OF THEM. 🥲

MCU movie of the night was Age of Ultron, which I haven't watched in ages. Still love it, though. Still cannot figure out the hate this movie got when it released.

Okay I didn't actually write much today, just a few hundred words. But I DID figure out the scene that's been blocking me from finishing the current chapter, and I THINK it should be mostly smooth sailing from here, because I have the rest of the outline pretty well locked.

I have the office to myself today, and a quick glance at my email shows that people were kind over the holiday weekend. Maybe I will have writing time?? 😃

Why on earth are these cursed things coming back. I lived through the Furby craze. I was PART of the Furby craze. I think my demonic friend from Hell is still whispering to itself in a voice that will never die, wrapped in four blankets and shoved in a bag at the bottom of my childhood closet.

Only 800 words today, but I am super fond of the scene I just wrote and that is what matters. 😊
