..CREDITS. . .. i am not associated with stranger things, charlie heaton, norman reedus, netflix, etc.resources used:
Pinned post, post banners. icon border made by roach / nemo. pinned post graphic, s4 screenshots. carrd & theme. dbd perk icons.

..PORTRAYAL. . .. i am semi-canon compliant with heavy hc influences, meaning that while i do base jonathan off what we have seen from the show, there's a lot of hc content & development too. i tend to disagree with how he was portrayed in the show, particularly in s3. i will also be leering off & out of the stranger things fandom -- taking bits from the show to put into my canon, but not being affiliated with the fandom.usual rp etiquette applies. do not godmod or assume anything with my muse unless it is discussed or general knowledge. do not forceship. please do not harass me for replies.while i may interact with multiples of a character, please note: i refuse to do any plots or ideas that have been copied with a different portrayal of a character. i know how this feels & i don't want it done to me, as i won't have it done to you.

..ACTIVITY / POST INFO. . .. i am not shy about my activity: i do a majority of ic posts with some ooc posts scattered in. it's honestly how i keep occupied sometimes, especially at work, by blurbing what i'm thinking. i do replies & asks on an as i have muse basis, not necessarily by order. I tend to also delete asks that i feel won't be replied to, especially if they have been sitting for over two months. i tend to also have anxiety when someone sends in many asks for the same character. i ask that unless you are a multi, you keep it limited to 2 or 3 total per single muse blog, for my sanity & sake -- if you send more, i will often delete what i won't be replying to on a pick & choose.please do not interact with my posts, etc. if we are not mutuals unless otherwise stated or it's a psa of sorts. likewise, if you are a personal, please don't like or reblog my stuff unless otherwise stated.I DO SOFTBLOCK IF IT'S EVIDENT THAT YOU ARE NOT GOING TO INTERACT WITH ME. I LIKE TO KEEP MY FOLLOWERS / FOLLOWING TO THOSE WHO WANT TO INTERACT.please know that while this isn't personal, unless we interact ic or ooc a fair amount, i am less likely to follow if you remake blogs often. this isn't personal. i just find that if we are not interacting regardless previously or ooc, there is not a point for me to follow if it seems evident that there isn't interest.i also ask that if you have an exclusive jonathan, please do not follow me or soft me out of basic common decency for that jonathan rper. there's plenty of wonderful portrayals out there, none of them deserve that treatment. if you go exclusive, please tell me if we have already plotted a good bit or just soft me out of respect for both me & the other jonathans. @ fellow jonathans, i love you, you sweet human beings.i also often do not follow any rp blogs that do not have a rules & about. i check my followers often & follow if i see us interacting, if i'm familiar with the characters, etc. but i do require having rules & an about to read so i can get a good vibe of you & your portrayal. that being said for those who are working on abouts, rules, etc: i usually check for about a week - two weeks to see if there's anything before i do follow.i use small font & mixed font via generator. i tend to use icons, etc. i do not care how you format, i encourage you to format however is best for you! please note that while i use mixed fonts, i welcome you to come to me & let me know if in our threads, you'd like for me to use normal font!i tend to use likes as a way of saying "i see your post." If I don't like the post? 99.5% of the time, I didn't see it.

..SHIPPING. . .. i am multiship. i ship based off of chemistry. canon ships are not & will not be reinforced here unless it's been spoken about between muns. i tend to often require ic & ooc communication for shipping comfortability, regardless of the type of ship it may be. please do not reinforce canon ships, such as jancy, without my permission. chances are, though, if you ship it, i may be more than likely shipping it too.

..NSFW. . .. nsfw can happen, but keep in mind that this doesn't necessarily mean smut. anything nsfw will be tagged accordingly. in light of my hc of jonathan being a pisces with an early march birthday, jonathan would be 18 & graduated before the events of s3. anything that may border into smut will be during this time that he is 18 & graduated, so s3 or beyond. smut, however, is very inlikely. it's not something i'm comfortable with doing, but with the right people, i'm more than willing. this isn't the place if all you want is smut & it's likely never going to appear.

..DRAMA / HATE. . .. i will not & do not tolerate hate or drama whatsoever. due to people abusing the anon feature & ruining it for those who use it the way it was intended, i have anon turned off. anyone who tries to cause drama will be blocked on sight.i keep up to date with people who are actively involved in drama & those with serious accusations against them with solid proof. if you see me interacting with someone who is genuinely problematic, please let me know. as briefly mentioned before, i work long hours, i sometimes avoid the dash. i'd like to know if someone i may be interacting with is harmful to the rpc.no racism. no sexism. no transphobia. no homophobia. no gross shit. none of that shit. be a decent human being & we will be good to roll.i encourage conversation when i may have done any wrong. i encourage speaking to me so i can know & address it & own up to my actions. i will take accountability for my actions. i am unable to fix my mistakes if i am not informed of what could be wrong, seeing as i tend to be a bit oblivious sometimes. i promise, im really chill!this is also a safe space. whether you need to talk to someone, to vent, or anything. i'm safe. you want to hardblock or softblock? sure! i support you doing what is best for you first & foremost. there's no judgement or questions here.

..DNI. . .. i tend to be pro callout & pro dni list if it means someone actually dangerous is becoming known to the rpc. i, however, do not condone callouts / etc. when it is over something incredibly petty such as a misunderstanding. i will likely never reblog callouts unless the person is an entire threat & a half to the community. i have a personal dni that i will not be discussing or giving out -- i am simply creating a space that is best for me, blocking people as i need to, etc. i will always respect other people's dni's.basic dni: no problematic actors, no age gap relations of 8+ years ic, nick goodes / goode related ocs, everymanhybrid / creepypasta, hamilton, the black phone rp blogs, my hero academia, condoning any racism / transphobia / homophobia / sexism / etc., rp blogs of real people & youtubersdue to the amount of harassment, bullying, & lies I have received & heard regarding me, the only person I will publicly name in a DNI is November ( found at holysanctum & numerous other urls ). While anyone has a right to dislike me & put me on a DNI for any reason, the amount of lies that have been told, to my knowledge, are astronomical. Instead of talking to me about it, as I would have liked, I will be honest. I never called November a pedophile, I sure as hell never sent any anons or harassment. I do not have contact with my then partner at the time & to my knowledge, there had been nothing sent from them (which, I could very well be wrong! I don’t know). When we talk about context—the reason I had blocked, why words may have been misconstrued by anyone, is because November and I had been friends. We played DBD together. And during a game, with my partner present, November’s then partner made a pedophilia/r-pe joke that, instead of saying anything, November laughed at. I was verbal in my disgust & had removed November not long after. I’m tired of this because it IS something that can be handled privately, but instead, it’s being dealt with publicly. November and I BOTH are not the same people that we were before, I know that much, and I want to say my peace on it and call it that. I want to talk things over because it IS something I firmly believe can be discussed.

..VILLAINS. . .. i do not have to like a character to interact with someone portraying that character. this also does not mean i condone the actions of these characters, because i do not. at all. i tend to be picky & highly selective when it comes to villainous characters. due to my experience regarding numerous billy hargrove rpers, i am HIGHLY selective & will likely not follow any unless i trust & know the mun. i will interact with karen wheeler, vecna, etc. on the criteria that:1) their behaviors are not being sexualized or romanticized in any way.
2) they are not canon compliant.
3) they do not villainize & blame actions on mental illnesses as an excuse.
4) acknowledges the character has done bad, not condoning the actions, etc. & not woobifying them because they're a "hot character."
anyone i follow has went through a thorough inspection for these things & i follow them due to trusting them with the character & i have no hesitation about removing someone who goes against this trust or thought process.

..WHO WILL YOU INTERACT WITH? . .. i tend to be all-over friendly! i welcome & encourage oc's, ships of all varying types, fandoms ( so long as i know the fandom & the content well enough to comfortably have an idea of what's going on ), duplicates / variants, female muses & muns, poc muses & muns, lgbt+ muses & muns, pre - established stuff, & more. i want to single - handedly love on all of you guys as much as i possibly can.

..TRIGGERS. . .. my triggers include: candyman ( original movie ), 10+ year age gap relationships ( dni if 8+ years ), & the ziggy / nick ship from fear street in a romantic or sexual tense.i ask that you please respect this & tag accordingly. i have it set that even the mentions of any of the following will filter out posts on both pc & mobile.i tend to tag in a variety ways, primarily: tw trigger, trigger tw, & trigger //. i tag any possible triggers & i keep a document of my mutual's triggers to keep up with. if i miss anything or if i need to start tagging anything, i encourage letting me know. this is, once again, a safe space for everyone.


..DAKO / 25 / HE / THEY. . .. i'm just your local nonbinary transmasc medium goth & your local gentle giant. i'm into horror, metal music, nostalgic shows & movies, cosplay, memes, & video gaming. i have been rping since 2019 & been going strong ever since. i continue to learn everyday about tumblr & rping & i'm open to learning even more & making new friends. i know my rules may seem like a lot, but i promise i'm a really chill person.WHERE ELSE CAN YOU FIND DAKO?RP BLOGS:

..MARCH 2ND, 1967. . .. lonnie & joyce byers have their first son : JONATHAN GLENN BYERS. You were named after your late grandfather from your mother's side, glenn horowitz...JANUARY 1969. . .. you're beginning to learn your very first words, you're beginning to walk, hobbling beside your mother at every given moment. it's probably your earlier memory that you have -- the reeking & haunting smell of alcohol that lingers from too many beer cans in one place, the attempt to cover it up with the absence of your father & the soft, lulling fragrance of warmth & food from the kitchen. you remember falling a couple times as you pitter patter into the room, lighting up the place with your babbling presence, especially to your mother. you didn't realize what you were thinking -- & unfortunately, it was the neverending question: WILL THINGS GET BETTER?..MARCH 4TH, 1971. . .. you've made it to four years old, all too aware that soon, you'll be a big brother introducing a younger into the world & into this broken family. looking back on these days, you figure that you're doing okay in your prime toddler time, your infant life barely memorable. your father never seemed to care about you or the soon coming of your baby brother. frankly, you're scared. you're scared for your soon to be brother, scared of what may happen as fears & memories of your father's rather neglectful behavior towards you become feeling more & more of a reality for your brother. WILL THINGS GET BETTER? you hoped, dreamed, everything, that they would.this was the time you begun to figure out what you want in life, even if you didn't really grasp the concept of that. your mother saved up money, with approval of your father, & got a camera to take pictures of the moments that are worth capturing of you & your brother's youth, cherishing the limited moments you have at this age. you feel drawn in by the device, carefully playing with the camera, accidentally hitting buttons & taking pictures. toddler giggles that squeal in joy & excitement that come from you at this discovery -- this was when you knew, this felt right. *PHOTOGRAPHY felt right to you...MARCH 22ND, 1971. . .. it was the day. your father keeps you in the waiting area of the hospital with him while your mother gives birth. he hushes you, tells you to be quiet, when you ask questions. is mommy okay? is bubby okay? he'd tell you he'd "beat you quiet" if you didn't shut up. you were quick to be quiet. you're told to wait until it was deemed appropriate for both your father & you to see your mom & your baby brother. you decided trying to rest, lacking the proper sleep due to a loud & rough night, until it was time for you to see your mom & brother.you can still remember how he looked that day, a smiling baby boy pressed against your mother's chest. she urges you into bed with her to see your brother. she tells you his name is WILLIAM BYERS. you didn't think you'd love your brother as much as you did. you knew you were going to do everything to help & protect him. in a world full of dragons, like he's found in some illustrations in board games, he hoped that will would be seeing the light of their lives...1973 - 1975. . .. the fighting ramps up & it gets worse. you are able to hear it through the walls, semi-thin in comparison. you have cried & cried, days on days on end, your father becomes horrible. more horrible than before. he makes it a point to try & change you to what he wanted you to be -- a strong, no "bullshit," manly man of a son. he makes it a point to do everything he can to have you do things he saw as "manly," like sports.he takes you to go hunting for the first time. something about "toughening you up" to be like all the other boys, & would often hurt you if you enjoyed anything that wasn't. you vocalized your love for photography, still going strong ever since you laid hands of that beloved camera, you even made the miraculous decision to go to new york university when you were older, at the measly age of six.you also found yourself doing the world for your brother. you try to protect him from your father's abuse, taking blame & taking the hits. anything that meant to keep will safe -- no one, especially will, deserved that torment. you learn to keep it up, becoming the "horrible son" in your dad's eyes for doing what you do, taking blame on everything & anything imaginable. sometimes, you can hear his screaming. you'd often find yourself shutting the door of you or your brothers room anytime you hear the screaming, locking the door as a precaution. you & your brother isolate -- you keep your brother safe from harm's way by any means necessary. sometimes, you even snuck out of your home with will, to get away from everything & to go play in the woods, getting away from the chaos that resides at home.you become friends during one of these journeys with a neighbor boy named STEVE HARRINGTON, a boy who didn't live far away & resided within walking distance of your home, a home that is isolated on the road that it sits on. you grew fairly close with steve, trusting & sharing secrets with each other, playing from sunrise to sunset ( or whenever it was most convenient for them ). sometimes, when your father wasn't home, you'd even invite steve over to play, welcoming him into the worn down home that was filled with horrid memories for you. STEVE HARRINGTON BECAME A SAFE HAVEN. & for that, you're grateful. he was your first & only friend, having had issues at school making friends -- & truthfully, you're the happiest you have been in a long time.despite the happiness you felt with your friend, back home was a different story. your father insists you're going to be "going on a trip" without your mom, packing bags for you & your brother. you weren't really aware of what was going on -- but looking back, you have figured out he was trying to take you & your brother away from your home. you have heard him talking on the phone with someone, unaware of who it was, something about bringing the boys in for money to do research, insisting that you & your brother were considered "special." you didn't know what that means or what that entailed. you weren't sure if you wanted to find out, either, staying quiet & nodding along. your mother caught you guys heading out of the door & was quick to keep you guys home, despite you & your brother's confusion. you remember her screaming at your dad, something about don't sell my kids for money. no matter how hard finances became, with your father's deep spending habits putting them into what you've heard as "debt," she refused to be apart of lonnie's plan of selling the kids.you find out much later on that the man on the phone that your dad had been speaking with was his half - brother, notoriously known for changing lives & a government employee : DR. MARTIN BRENNER OF HAWKINS LABORATORY...1976. . .. you begin to realize that there are things about you that people would disapprove of, especially your father. your father has been calling you names & been more hateful than ever before -- you think it's because he didn't get his way with the whole trade deal the year prior. you find that the names he calls you have been hitting closer to the heart & you fear that they might be right. f-ggot, q-eer, disappointment -- you've been angry, you've been sad. you've been trying to figure everything out, as much as you can behind your father's back, hiding everything away from him the best you possibly can.you figure out yourself to an extent, in regards to your sexuality & how you feel about someone in particular, embracing it as head on as you possibly could. it's not something you fully understood -- but you figure out that you have feelings for your friend, steve. ones that society & the norms have told you time & time again that you shouldn't be feeling towards someone of the same sex. all you know is you feel a good kind of sick around steve -- a nauseating feeling of butterflies in your stomach, choking up a bit around him, getting flustered around him, & you find your heart racing. he became a safe space for you, a place where he feels comfortable. for a moment, more often than you care to admit to, you think: is there something wrong with me?you even tell your mother in secrecy, when your father wasn't around, & she assures you that you're okay & that there is nothing wrong with you. she insists she loves & supports you no matter what -- & in your eyes, that's all that really mattered.it was different than it was at school. at school, you are not very well - liked, keeping to a very select few of people & not often to extend the hand out for new friends. you'd get picked on, tormented, bullied, by kids who didn't really know you & didn't care to know you. kids that steve was friends with. you can remember steve there, staring, watching as you get hurt & called named, bullied & tormented & humiliated in front of the student body by kids known to be steve's friends. you remember looking at him, tears in your eyes, begging & pleading for him to defend you from his friends. HE DOESN'T. from then, he makes his choice & you can feel your heart break. did anything we do matter? were we friends? did you even care? you lose the one person you considered your best friend & you deal with the heartbreak that came with the loss of someone you saw as important. pain & sorrow that built up within your chest that bubbled & festered until it released all at once, in the safety of your mother's arms. you went into your mother's arms as soon as she got home, telling her about everything that happened. you & her made promises to not tell a single word to your father, fearing the consequences of what you feel & insinuate. you didn't need to handle the abuse right now...1977 - 1980. . .. the people around you have grown meaner & meaner, more than you'd care for. watching how other people act & behave, it makes you wonder if they have any sense of humanity left with them. as you stand in the sidelines, your ex - friend has gone to focusing on popularity, joining alongside your bullies & making it a point to torment you so long as he stood before his group, the leader herding the cattle. while you're not sure if steve spoke about it or not, rumors were starting to go around about you. adults were finding out, & as it is in a small town, as you have discovered, everyone talks. your father gets the news & he becomes angrier. he insists he "beat the gay out of you" & you'd believe it. for once, you'd believe it. the torment never stopped, even as you roll into school injured & hurt, avoiding everyone. kids kept calling you slurs, they kept bullying you, & you become more & more awakingly aware of how alone you actually were now. you find yourself growing more distant. you stick very close to your mother & your brother. your brother becomes your best & only friend. you don't want to deal with the heartbreak & sadness anymore. your photography becomes your comfort through the worst, savoring & enjoying vhs disney movies when you were allowed to as a means of coping with what you now call: childhood.your father picked up on some of the issues you were having. it's your 10th birthday & he believes this would help you -- he takes you hunting, wanting you to connect with nature, in hopes it would bring you into a new light. you go with it, to at least please him & avoid further conflict. he hands you a gun, a revolver that feels a little too heavy in your hand, a little too upsetting at the thought. he forces you to shoot a rabbit, yelling at you & eventually taking your hand & having you pull the trigger. you kept thinking about thumper from bambi the entire time & how much it hurts you to kill a character you loved. you cried immediately after, your childhood innocence gone from murdering something so innocent & undeserving of death. you get slapped in the face as a result to stop you from crying anymore in front of him, & you try. you cry for weeks, months, & even years over this different trauma you have endured. it becomes harder to watch bambi, your comfort disney movie, until later on.this is your breaking point. you start fighting back. you start to grow as an individual, as a protector, & as a substitute parent to replace that of a shitty one. you become more determined. you become a fighter...1980 - 1983. . .. transitioning from middle school into high school comes with quite a bit of complications in itself. you have become the loner, the freak of your class. you try to stick to yourself, the only reliable person you know you can be around. you'd stay a bit after class as everyone else leaves, avoiding torment & bullies. you do what you can to stay out of people's ways, your eyes staying averted downwards & you stick close to exits & walls. you have no friends. you don't really know what it's like to have a true friend anymore. you feel nauseated at seeing the sight of couples kissing in the hallways, knowing you don't know what it's like & you assume you never will. you don't have the time to know, either. you spend most of your time at home, listening to music, watching movies, & spending time with your family. you've begun to get into a new genre of movies: horror. & you love every bit of what it has to offer.your father finally abandons the family when you were twelve, a divorce being filed between your parents, & cases where you & your brother get questioned for a lot of how you were treated. the beatings have stopped. you have fought back in the few times lonnie came around to grab what was left of his things. you are aware that you won't ever heal from the trauma he caused you, the amount of aches & pains, mentally & physically, that bombard you because of him.at fourteen, you pick up a job, not necessarily by your own wishes & desires. the local movie theatre was hiring & you have overheard your mother's frustrations while doing bills & her hard attempts of getting by each month. you choose to work as soon as you were of age, to help her. you make it known, once you get the job, that most of the money will be given to her to help with bills. you work endless, as much as they could work you with you still being a minor, but you do not get to live a normal life. you don't get a social life. your obligations to your family stifle you into this hard spot, becoming burdened by your family, but never finding the need to express it. you help look after will & provide for the family, overall. you officially get your "parent promotion" that falls naturally onto your shoulders, with everything.

..NOVEMBER 1983. . ..

as mentioned before, i believe dni lists can be necessary if, not only to provide comfort to someone's dash, but to educate those on the things someone may have done that are a danger to the rpc.this dni list is made to make me feel comfortable. this dni does include people, linked with evidence that educated me on the behaviors. some may be for personal reasons, which i can provide evidence for or discuss.i am also open to discussion & can & will happily remove someone from my dni if it is apparent that the person in question has taken accountability & changed & apologized. i am someone who believes in chances for people, especially when they're genuinely trying to change & do better. i believe in chances for people to hold themselves accountable, grow from the things that they've done, & become a better person.despite what is below, i ask that people respect this & tag accordingly if i decide to follow. i more so limit being around these people & things more than anything. i do not pressure this dni, as i tend to be liberal with my block buttons in order to provide a space for myself. i also ask that you treat everyone with basic decency -- behind the screens is still a human being with full fledge feelings & thoughts. do not send hate on my behalf & please do not stalk anyone for information, etc. on my behalf, others behalves, etc. if i find out anyone is doing this, you will be blocked without hesitation. it's not cute. it's not funny.

STEVE HARRINGTON.

..STEVENHARRINGTON. . .. penned by frankie. 📸my heart flutters -- you would think things would be history by now, with our past, but they're not. he's a dork, he's funny, he's charming. maybe he doubts himself some days, but he is a better person, despite what he thinks. here's to our new future.

..HARRINGTONTM. . .. penned by rosemary.he has a heart so big, i think it grows out of his rib cage. we’ve been friends for… since I can remember, really. we just fit weirdly into each other’s lives—it makes sense. even despite our differences, he somehow puts up with me. brave, admirable…

NANCY WHEELER.

..NANETTEWHEELER. . .. penned by rainbow.she's a princess, truly. surprisingly, one of the kindest souls i know. she's a no bullshit kind of lady, knows what she's wanting, & takes the lead to get it. determined. kind. smart. she's beyond wonderful -- she's perfect in my eyes. who else is going to call me out on the shit that i won't admit to myself? who else is going to make me live a little?

BILLY HARGROVE.

..FUCKBILLY. . .. penned by kathleen.he can be an asshole, that's no surprise. you'd be surprised, however, on how much of a nerd he actually is. in a world that has tested him & left him alone, it's not easy. i know how he feels, surprisingly. he's weirdly just like me -- he's a victim, too. his hospital room had been quiet, lacking visitors. i wonder if anyone in his family actually cares that he's still around? i'm going to hate having to move . . . i'll try to send letters & pictures. maybe max or someone else would be able to give them to him?

ROBIN BUCKLEY.

..ROBINBCKLEY. . .. penned by reed.probably my chaotic twin, if i were to put a label. the chaos of our lives, no matter how relatable. i wish we didn't drift as much as we did during school -- the shit with the demogorgon kinda escalated. i hope to hang out with her soon again -- she's cool.

ARGYLE.

..ARGYLCS. . .. penned by ozzy.in a place as terrifying as california, argyle welcomed me with open arms, shockingly. he helped me get a job, he helped me become accustomed to the new world that was lenora hills. i am forever appreciative of him. & in such a short amount of time, he has become my best friend. i trust him with my heart & soul. i'm grateful.

HAK JIWOON.

..JEOKWOL. . .. penned by jules.it's weird how we bonded. i can't say i understand it, either. we just . . . somehow clicked. now, it might be weird alone to be friends with a known murderer, but in a place like this where you feel trapped? you could end up friends with anyone. jiwoon was no exception to this. surprisingly, he's fairly likeable as a person. he's a little spoiling, though.

DAVID KING.

..LEONINES. . .. penned by adam.it's funny, in retrospect, how david has accepted me under his wing. it's hard knowing a figure who is willing to put his life on the line for me -- it's weird. it's different. & i would do the same. i feel like when i look at him, i see a different version of me. kinda scary. but he has a heart of gold past that harsh exterior, i've learned. i think i'll miss him when we're gone from here...

LEON KENNEDY.

..DEADSURVIVED. . .. penned by jay.i like him, personally. he's a little rough, maybe a little dry. i think he's admirable. even in a world so cruel to him, he gets through it & finds determination to get through anything. he kind of reminds me of myself. he's a role model.

EDDIE MUNSON.

..TOMORDCR. . .. penned by pat.freaks stick together, right? that's what they say? i guess this is the case, anyways. eddie is a pretty cool dude, if you ask me. we like a lot of the same music & he can be really fun to be around, in my experience. it's good to see him finally get his year, after everything the world puts him through. i can't wait to be a witness to eddie's greatness.

WILL BYERS.

..07ROLLED. . .. penned by anya.he's my brother, he's like a mini - me in a lot of ways. with everything going on around him, i can't believe he is still that sweet boy that i remember so fondly. the only difference is now there's more trauma than either of us have exoerienced before. i hope he catches a break. i won't let anyone hurt him. not anymore.


EXCLUSIVES.

only ONE version of a character. What this means is I will not be interacting with any other portrayal of said character. oc's tend to default to exclusives but will sometimes be listed.


CAROL DAVIS - BRENNER.

..BRENHEIR. . .. penned by earth. 📸who would've thought that we would have ended up being related? who would've thought that we actually get along a lot better than you would imagine? it's kinda weird, really, how things change in a span of a year -- & luckily, not for the worst. she has family now, i have family now. she's became like a sister to me.

TOMMY HOCKSTETTER.

..PSYCHEDELICHORRORSHOW. . .. penned by billie.ever since carol & i chilled out, he seems fairly chill. I still don't know what his problem is, though. can't say i really care, either. doesn't seem too bad. i don't really trust him yet, really.

ARNIE RILEY.

..ARNIERILEY. . .. penned by billie.we've been friends for what seems like a while. he's pretty chill -- i consider him one of my good friends. he never was mean to me, despite everyone around him. i don't know why he quit school -- but it's whatever, as long as he's happy. i think he's going to accomplish more than he, & everyone, thinks he will. he also knows where the good marijuana is.

DANNY FENTON.

..EKTOS. . .. penned by bunny.we're both weirdos. not a bad thing, but we bond fairly well, i'd say. i can tell he has a lot of weight on his shoulders. i hope he's okay . . . the most i can be is a friend, right?

MARK RILEY.

..HXDXGUN. . .. penned by ozzy.we're both weird. he's standoffish, but i swear he's a nice guy beyond that. we bond over quite a bit, to say the least. he pushes me away, tries to hide things... I wish there was more honesty. but he will come to me when he's ready, right? i hope, anyways.

NICOLE HIGHLANDS.

..PSYCHEDELICHORRORSHOW. . .. penned by billie.friends for a while, we do photography together. she's a sweet girl -- she's probably my best friend, really, if i were to be fully honest. she's caring, she's sweet . . . she doesn't deserve the shit that happened to her dad, didn't deserve to lose someone because of the damn lab. i hope things get better. i hope they get easier, knowing the truth.

BRAEDEN SINCLAIR.

..JOCKCLAIRS. . .. penned by bunny.we're childhood friends, simply put. with our brothers being friends, too, it makes it convenient for us to hang out often. while i think time drifted us a little bit & how i wish things started back up when they were better, i am relieved to be friends with brae once more. he's my friend. my heart flutters around him -- have i said too much?

JAMES GALLOWES.

..GALLOWES. . .. penned by gates.we're not exactly the same & i think that is what makes things fairly ironic. he's a very kind guy who has his heart on his sleeves & would do the world for anyone. he's truly a special guy & i'm thankful & grateful to even know him. he seems fun to be around.
