I kinda want to make a Stranger Things writing discord because I am going to be working on projects for a while and it feels like a lot of other people are. Also, the top kudos'd fic on AO3 for Stranger Things are all Steddie fics. This pairing is not going away. Hits are dropping post-canon, but this pairing is definitely A Thing. But, I don't know how to advertise it. I wouldn't want to post on Tumblr. I tried joining a few via tumblr and it was scary. People deadass talking about wanting to slowly poison characters to death for being vile. I don't want to deal with the tumblr ferals who had no idea how to act. But having a place to chat 80s details, fic concepts and collection resources like the walkthrough video of Eddie's trailer would be fun.

It would be fun, but I have zero faith in my ability to gather even ten people together for it.

Also, whether or not it has readers I tend to stick with pairings. I think I've only ever fully dropped any pairing I was super into. I still write Jeeves/Wooster and Buckaroo Banzai. So, I'll be writing this a while at least.

* I really enjoy Jamie Campbell Bower and want to see more of him. Typically, if I get into an actor I watch their older stuff no matter how obscure or dumb. But Jamie's IMDB is all... Twilight, Fantastic Beasts and City of whatever by Cassandra Claire. Yeah, I think I'll pass. I'll just enjoy tumblr gifs of him in that leather harness thingie and him talking about his creative process in interviews.

* I was watching a long form video essay on nostalgia in media and though it was really good, until the guy when on a political rant that talked about the Democrats being useless despite controlling all 3 branches of government right now and it's like... What? Like one being controlled by Not-Democrats has been a big news story recently. wtf yo? Why do some people who make otherwise good videos on topics wing up having bizarre-ass politics? Also I disagree with his takes on the 2016 election. Politics and nostalgia are inter-related and it's important to be aware of that when writing period stuff like I do. But, making good media insights doesn't necessarily mean you have a clue about politics.

This is why I rarely click videos from creators I don't know, unless they are retweeted by Dan Olsen or something.

Also my Youtube homepage was literally half re-uploads of Joe Quinn crying at London Comic Con at one point. The algorithm is good for music, but nothing else.

* Now to nap, yoga and write... what are the changes I'll actually manage have that be my plan for the evening?
