Part 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 of NestorTheory lore:)
I know this is one of Brandons graduation photos, but I can't help but think of Bryce.
I know that little Brycies mam (mom?) Took her out of school when she was around 8, but for the sake of this, she finished school with the double diva diversion ect, still happening.
If anyone was going to be proud of her for graduating, for losing the boy she gave her literal heart to but surviving until graduation all those years later, you're damn right it's going to be herself. Even if her mom only showed up to pocket anything she could from bystanders and try swoon the principle for cash, she's ultimately what got herself here. Not her mom using /her/ sticky fingers to scrape by on rent and steal from former classmates, no, she's who dragged herself through school knowing that she's the one who did that to Bobby. To the boy she loved, loves? Wherever he is, she misses him and her heart breaks more and more each time she thinks of him.
So yeah, you could say she might have had a sharp breath or two when she sees a familiar face across the bleachers by the entrance, looking right back at her with that damn smile. Her face drops from the practised smile it once was, it's been almost ten years, she doesn't think her heart can take it. The shock. Seeing /Bobby/?
She tries to run after being stuck in place, but she drops. She drops to the ground, a hand clutching over where her heart once was as she gasps for air. For air that won't come. Seems like the heart "Dr" Paul, the /mortician/ gave her, won't last a lifetime after all.
She never was good at avoiding stress.
Whaaaaaaat, Ness is sick?? Noooo.....
What a creative idea I have for (Ness) accidentally not posting for a week, whew๐คง
BUT. SECURITYWAITER VERY OBVIOUS HINT OHH??? SECURITYWAITER LIKE A SLAP IN THE FACE?? Oh do I wonder what happened over that week to lead to this, mhm, I do I do..
BUT! Ness will be back in full swing, aswell as Sparky's :D
I procrastinate even if it's over something I've got brain rot over (securitywaiter โ๐)
Expect some new posts soon, I have so much planned for our boys (and sparkys) :D
(@nestortheory and @sparkysdinerhurricane Instas!)
Also, look at Ness go, 23 followers already :')
NestorTheory Instagram lore recap in cliffnotes!
4th of January, account created + 2 posts. An introduction and Radio update.
5th of January, selfie, fun facts, and radio updates.
6th of January, first Freddy's post of the actual diner along with an update from sparkys (including a selfie)
9th of January, first 'Freddy's-a-go' update + plan.
11th of January, successfully broke into Freddy's and posted multiple photos from inside along with updates and finds.
18th of January, Mike makes a post on Ness' story about how Ness is sick after breaking into Freddy's + photo of a sick and sleepy Ness.
23rd of January, update on Ness' health along with another eepy Ness photo.
25th of January, 'Freddy's-a-go' update from a healthy Ness, no longer sick + photos of Freddy's from the outside. Radio update and a hint to a live interview on his radio station with a "certain security gaurd".
January 31st, Ness posts on his story about a radio update along with his Lock Ness Monster theory board as the photo in the background.
Between all of those posts, Ness has interacted with the Sparky's Diner account too, which is ran by his sibling 'Andy' (because in the book it's said that Ness' family own the Diner, that's the only "canon" I'm taking from the book. Completely made Andy up)
Andy teases Ness about how he stares at "your security guy" in the comments of several Sparky's Diner posts, Ness responds back and that leads to him getting Mike's (security guys) number after Mike had written it on a receipt that Andy picked up instead because Ness was busy with another table. Andy makes a post on the Sparkys account about how "you should really notice this! Also, make sure to return 10 receipts to get a free coffee on the house!" Ness proceeds to freak out in the comments at realising Mike left him his number and offers anything in the world to Andy so he'll give him the receipt that had Mike's number on it.
This is the shortest way I can explain the LOOORE, but I plan to make a full in depth post about it all soon Including behind the scenes lore that has only been hinted at and not given full context (Mike randomly posting on Ness' story is a GREAT example because securitywaiter isn't established yet. As far as people knew, Ness just had a supposed crush on him and then BOOM Mike Is randomly in Ness' room taking care of him while he's sick + now he's following a certain @MichaelSchmidt1975 too, hmmm??) (Also, you don't have to like securitywaiter to enjoy the account, you wouldn't even notice it:))
All set in the 2000's like the movie by the way!
There is a LOT more I will explain in depth, but this is for whoever to take a look at! I'd appreciate if you check out Ness' instagram and Sparky's too if that's what your interested in, I absolutely adore making these and there should be a new post tonight because Ness' radio station will be on in the morning, Saturday at 8am sharp ya'll!

continuation of this post
When Eddie finally opens the door to Steve's house (Steve keeps the door unlocked way too often) it's already past their agreed time of 8:30pm and he is panicking.
He actually doesn't know the specific time, he just knows that when he had bolted from his room after throwing his backpack at his bed, reapplying his deodorant, and grabbing his duffel bag (AKA his sleepover-at-Steve's bag), it was already 8:31pm. He just hopes Steve's not too mad.
"Stevie?" He calls as he walks toward the living room.
A quick peek through the doorway tells him that Steve's not there, though his heart does melt a little in his chest at the sight of Steve's mattress on the floor in front of the TV with a comical amount of pillows and blankets piled on it.
Now he's a little further into the house, however, he can hear the faint sound of Steve singing along to Queen from the back of the house. He heads to the kitchen, trying to be quiet. Steve gets shy when singing in front of people, but when he's alone? He's mumbling songs to himself and singing under his breath all the time. Eddie loves him, loves it, likes it a lot.
When Eddie finally reaches the doorway of the Harrington kitchen, he's greeted with the sight of the back of Steve as he sways in time to the music playing quietly. His hands are busy with something on the counter in front of him.
"It's not easy love, but you've got friends you can trust." Steve mumbles to himself, and Eddie smiles at the way he tilts his head up to the ceiling as he tries to reach the same pitch as Freddie Mercury.
"Steve." Eddie tries again after a moment, and Steve literally lets out a squeak of surprise as he spins around.
There's melted chocolate all over his fingers, but that doesn't stop Steve from putting a relieved hand over his heart and smearing some of it on his t-shirt.
"Babe. I hope you know you just got chocolate on yourself."
Steve looks down at Eddie's words, and then sighs and drops his head down in defeat.
"I'm never making you chocolate covered strawberries again-"
"You made what? Sweetheart, sugar. Sweetums. Light of my life. I love chocolate covered strawberries."
Eddie walks over to his side immediately to inspect his work, leaning a head on Steve's shoulder. Most of a whole pack of strawberries have been worked on, and Eddie's heart is oh-so-full.
"I know." Steve grumbles, "Not that you deserve them, mister sixteen minutes late."
"I'll have you know I got here minutes ago."
"You WHAT?!"
"Yeah. Lovely singing voice, loverboy."
OHMY GOD THE SECURITYWAITER PLAYLISTS ON SPOTIFY, IM DECEASED. THEYRE SO FUCKING GOOD ๐ญ TO SAY I STARTED YELLING WHRN I SEEM DJO ON ONE... GODDDD DUDEโผโผโผโผ
SHUT UP, THIS WAS ALMOST EXACTLY WHAT I WAS DOING WITH THE STORYLINE FOR NESS' INSTAGRAM BUT HE JUST ENDS UP GETTING SICK TOO๐ญ
The world is healing ๐คง
these were the progress photos I took for a drawing of Burnt out Ness. Mike basically puts him on house arrest because he will not stop overworking himself. But because he's so tired and everything is so much he keeps snapping at customers which makes him feel even worse so he's sitting watching star trek like the angriest cat in the whole world. the picture of matpat is a reference pic for the hair Final Product
Part 1
My ao3
That same scenario runs through his head over and over on repeat the entire walk home, and it was bad enough that he was out of cigs or else he'd be turning to crying or something.
It's all he's thinking.

Sighing, he drags his feet over and over to get home with a deep pout and frown on his lips. He just wants to go home. He doesnโt want this lifestyle anymore. Not the fame orโฆ not the fame it brings. He's not happy. It's doesn't feel right to be here, controlling and being supposed to look after people when he can't even look after himself. Twenty eight years old and he can't even do that: take care of himself. It's pathetic.
__
Opening the door to he and Manjusha's shared.. apartment(?), he drags himself inside with slumped shoulders and a pout. Making the smart decision to at least close the door before slowly trudging his way to the kitchen after stopping by the couch and grabbing a blanket to tightly wrap around himself like his mom used to - But it's /his/ blanket, his worn to softness, rocket blanket that nobody else can touch, not even Manny- before trudding all the way to the fridge. Cool-aid seems like the only thing Manjusha will let him drink these days, after what happened.. he doesnโt think the scar will fade. But at least it wasnโt all that bad.. right? Right-?
But a loud clatter coming from his bedroom tears him out of his thought, already in a bad enough mood given today, not to mention that he's all out of red cool aid.
Taking in a sharp and shakey breath -donโt fucking cry, you pussy- he waddles a little closer to where the sound had come from. His upset pout quickly gone when hearing the commotion, just to be replaced by a scared kid. Arlo may be an odd 6ft something, but helped by the day he's had with all the sounds, bright coulors and lights, he though it was safe enough for him to put his gaurd down even just for a little bit. But he was wrong. He's always wrong.
So instead of walking closer, he quietly whimpers to himself. Stood frozen in the middle of the kitchen with a kids blanket wrapped tight around him and unshed tears in his eyes, he watches as what made the loud sound walks out of his room.. he can't move from the spot he's in, there's so many monsters it could be..

And oh.
It'sโฆ. Dave.
"Ah- shit. I /seriously/ need to ask Arlo what the hell that is-"
Oh.
Of all people, It's Dave who has to see a scared, younger looking Arlo stood terrified in his kitchen. Eyes glasses over with what could be tears, or just that childlike way his eyes get when seeing something particular. Not that he'd know exactly, but he's seen it first hand, and yep- okay. He's crying.
"Uh, shit, hey man. It's- hey, it's okay. I wasn't trying to rob you guys-" and, okay. Internally he's cursing himself for not parking his car out front, but he didn't know this would happen, okay??? He wad just trying to do something kind, and..
"I am NOT doing that, are you kidding me??? Look, Sasha-"
"No, Dave, shut UP. /You/ are going to fix this, and /you/ are going to cheer him up if it costs you fucking everything just because I canโt be there for him. You're basically like an older brother to Arlo" Sasha exclaims while looking at Dave through her glammed out mirror, trying to get 'these damn lashes on-'
"I have known him for two MONTHS! How does that make me- I'm just not. That guy fucking hates me and I'm not going to go babysit him because he can't take care of himself"
And oh did that hit something in Sacha.
Tightening the grip on her tweazers, Sasha visibly shakes in anger with a glare as she turns in her stool. Trying and failing to fully control herself as she stands up, dropping her prized tweazers and poking Dave hard in the chest when face to face.
"Arlo is, /NOT/ a fucking child" she grits, voice thinly avoiding the tone of pure murder before continuing.
"That boy has been through so fucking much just to be here, and don't think for a /second/ that he's keeping you here out of pity and not because he's the sweetest fucking person you'll ever meet. That 'Manchild' is who's giving you a fucking job and you're going to help him when I can't. Say no one more fucking time and you can see what it's like being in a coma for twenty years. Got it?" she says lowly through gritted teeth as she looks Dave dead in the eye. Shit she's gotten closer-
"Yes. Yeah- I- I've got it. Got it." He says with shaken breath and a stiff nod acompanied with a tight smile to sell that he knows Sasha's being seriously, and that he much appreciates being alive once she mentioned it.
And with that, she nods and steps back enough for Dave to realise he needs to breath. Not realising he'd been holding his breath.
"Good. You better make sure he's okay, I'm not fucking kidding /Dave/." Sasha spits as she backs up, putting on a fake smile after checking her hair in the mirror and throwing the thin strap of her bag over he shoulder. Spitting out his name like it was some sort of poison she didn't want on her breath anymore.
