Back on my Enchanted!Reddie au cause im sobbing listening to So Close from the movie again.
So in my au, Beverly was the one who was supposed to be Giselle but Prince Edward gets in time and fumbles the plan and falls down the enchanted wishing well himself as shown here:
Thus enchanted movie shenanigans ensue as down on his luck comedian Richie Tozier comes across a Disney Prince who is utterly confused and lost in New York and Richie is surprised he hasn't gotten hit by a car yet
Richie is currently in a relationship with Sandy who comes by to visit Stan and richies apartment and is annoyed to find this Disney Prince hovering over Richie.
Stan tries to help Richie figure out how to get this prince home to wherever he's from but he's got work so he needs to head off and promises to meet with the pair at lunch time:
Meanwhile, Beverly suits up to go save Eddie with the Queens previous advisor who is concerned about his friend and Beverlys chipmunk friend Bill (who was turned into a chipmunk for irritating the Queen too much) and while they're searching and after she tries to join Eddie's singing in the park only yo get wiped out by a bunch of people on bikes, she's helped up by Ben, who is super confused by this Disney Princess trying to sing to find someone and offers to help her find who she's looking for.
Mike has to keep up the pretense of helping the Queen cause she keeps checking in with him.
Reddie is happening, Benverly is happening, Stanpat was already happening, Hanbrough is begrudgingly happening cause their having chaos shenanigans
But soon Beverly and Eddie find each other and must follow their obligations and come back.
Stan decides to take Eddie and Ben to get ready for the ball they were all gonna attend and decides to ask of going back is what he really wants. Eddie says he has to, as the Prince and his mother must be going out of her mind and Stanley wonders outloud whether she may have had something to do with this whole mess and Eddie wants to believe his mother but now is beginning to doubt her now and he knows he wants to stay with Richie.
As well as this Richie, Bev and Patty go together and Beverly begins to wonder whether she's really happy to leave Ben behind in this world to go back because of how much she already cares about him.
Mike and Bill got seperated and when the Queen finds out about the two reuniting she tells them she's coming there to sort this herself now
Her plan is get Eddie to eat the apple herself, cause to her is better if he's at home in eternal sleep and close the portal and leave Beverly trapped here.
Eddie and Beverly take on the dragon together, reddie true loves kiss wakes Eddie in the end, and Eddie gives Ben and Beverly his blessing to take over the kingdom together and keep the portal open in order to visit. Also with the Queen gone, Bill's curse is reversed and he's changed back into a human and Mike and him head back with Benverly and visit along with them.
I'm aware this is rushed idk if anyone would be interested in a written version of this but I was defo gonna maybe do more of this at some point
softies on the bus?
First of all your blog reeks of positivity and happiness and I am living for it. secondly if it's not too much to ask, may I request something (literally anything) with Sayu and Light? I have a craving for Yagami siblings being wholesome.
This one’s from personal experience.
And "reeks of positivity and happiness” is one of the BEST descriptions of my stuff that I’ve ever read, thank you!!

Did I ever tell you how I got kicked from Chess club back in school?
i love the enthusiasm, but mike was canonically specifically styled to look like eddie per the stylists who work on ST, not to mention them both being party leaders and dms. mike admired eddie and looked up to him. meanwhile gareth has the light brown bowl cut like will, and he doesn’t take the dm role up, much like will rarely takes up the dm mantle in the boys’ party.
and I love your enthusiasm anon. It got me in a thinking mode.
Since you seem to like the Mike-Eddie parallel so much, let me give you a better nugget : Eddie plays the guitar and Mike has the guitar.
you are suggesting HAIR, DM, Mike's admiration for Eddie makes for a better case for eddie and mike parallel. so let me address them one by one. reasons why i don't agree with it:
Hair theory. Let's just say, hair is the dealbreaker. The scene where Chrissy is unable to remember Eddie as he used to have short hair. So his hair theory is inconclusive.
Also, I am sorry but I never came across such a specific mention by the creators about Eddie and Mike being canonically similar. Not even Stylist, I looked it up and I didn't find anything. This is from the official stylist and she doesn't mention the eddie and mike connection: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iI3j673h0GE&t=37s
2. Mike as DM. Let me remind you of s3 which specifically showed Will as the DM. Him and eddie take their d&d way more seriously than any other party member. reflected in their over the top d&d setup and prep for it. (Will must've broken his back, the whole season 3 he was only setting up the damn game) Mike on the other hand is easily distracted by phone calls and Letters(el suggests will may have replaced him and even after they win at eddie's satanic campaign he seems distraught). His commitment is more towards Will than the game itself. so i don't see him and eddie on same plane there. not questioning mike's proficiency though.
3. Mike admiration for Eddie and looking up to him: Just think about it this way. Mike is shown to have a tiny crush on Eddie.
I don't know why they would choose to show this, unless he is a narcissist who likes himself or people like him or maybe simply because Eddie is nothing but another version of Will.
If you recall Will and Eddie have been aligned together since S4 aired, see the old posts of 2022 and I pinned this parallel because I knew some would argue.
Will & Eddie parallelism
focus on Nuances: in the context of d&d. (Bear with me)
Authoritative mannerism of eddie and will.
Eddie: "it's the championship game?" "Can i level with you"?
Will: “is it? is it early Michael?”
2. Will and Eddie’s speech: Words of encouragement to become heroes.
3. Mike's Act of Pacification : its a rarity to see Will pissed. Angry Will also overpowers Mike within fragments of seconds
During their fight Mike was defensive and right after will left He went out of the way to fix things. He does not enjoy angry will. Apologises to will and goes out to find sub for eddie.
4. Missing Member: Eddie and Will are both pissed about a missing member. And lash out at mike for ruining the party.
5. The Erica connection: s3 shows dustin and lucas giving Will's D&D to Erica. and right after that s4 she joins the hellfire where eddie is the DM. its a little telling.
6. s5
Kakairu - Kabedon , for the art challenge i am doing.
Bonus:
“always will”
I completely missed the parallels in s4 between el and max, especially in episode 1
- theyre both struggling with grief and loss of a family member who they had mixed feelings about. billy had been paralleled to max's stepdad, and hopper had been compared to brenner. they're both girls who have grown up in violent and controlling environments, but we see them bond in season 3 as each others' only female friends amongst the nerds. they get to have fun being girls together and el grows massively as a person for it
then in season 4 she's immediately tossed into the deep end as soon as she was trying to find a sense of self. we don't see max's mom, but we hear that she drinks, and we see joyce also having wine and being sad, not that this is ever shown to affect her parenting. but max and el are both incredibly lost at this point in the absence of each others' only true friend, and they both become withdrawn from the people around them in trying to act like everything is fine - el trying not to show will when she's upset, and max trying not to show lucas that she's seeing things, and being defensive to the rest of the party.
in s4e1 we see el getting mocked in her presentation while max is walking out of the counsellor's, both in positions of vulnerability trying to move very fast and get away from the past which is clearly haunting them (and they're both talking about the past and the specific trauma they're dealing with in the scenes prior) and failing to.
they're also both being pursued by vecna, which i feel is likely intentional on his part because he can read max's mind and knows he can use killing her to break down eleven.
and max is also so relieved when el finally comes to save her, from vecna but also from everything he is bringing up - el's intervention is as a hero but also as emotional support after max has been so isolated and alone in her feelings for so long, and we never really get to see her and el bond over their mutual grief before she moves away, nor exchange letters about feeling each others' absence.
it would be nice if in season 5 we get a reunion from them that explores some of that in their relationship as it develops, if they decide to bring max back.
i also think it's noteworthy that el and will and max and mike are also kind of parallel characters? mike and max have a lot of sassiness & sark and strength in character for standing up for the people they love & their friends, and a lot of their feud comes from being the same kind of defensive bitch (especially of eleven) and bickering cos they're just the same person? and even in terms of like gender nonconformity, max is a masculine girl while mike is not necessarily effeminate but by being the weedy gay autistic phenotype is kind of inherently gnc.
and el and will are both the sensitive, impressionable counterpart who they fight for, who've also both come from violent backgrounds, experienced a load of trauma pertaining to the same one guy, have the same terrible fringe and cry and have ptsd episodes a lot.
which i think is relevant because for both will and mike and el and max, that separation really strains on all of them, and when they come back together they realise just how much they missed each other.
in conclusion elmax byler supremacy
