Curate, connect, and discover
so here's a thought i had recently:
i was thinking about found family and how in fanfics they make the stranger thing gang usually closer then actually are in canon (which i love dont get me wrong) but i think they act a lot more like a real big extended family (shoutout to my 20 second-cousins who i never see) like
'we only talk to each other if nana is dying (upside down shit) and at christmas maybe'
and they are all messy af and weird like real extended family like:
yeah this is uncle steve he's going through his third divorce
this is my cousin dustin, he's my favorite, dont tell him his ego is already big enough
this is great aunt joyce she's always talking about crazy things and somehow she's always right, love the woman
this my cousin eddie, he went to prison once, we dont talk about that
this is my cousin max, she and her boyfriend break up like 60 times a year
this is uncle billy, he goes to anger management therapy mandated by the state
this is my second-cousin mike, i hate him but mom says i have to talk to him at easter lunch
do you rember when we told you great uncle jim died? yeah actually he faked his death for tax reasons and he's back now!
so yeah just some of my 2am rumbling thoughts about ST hope u enjoyed
