You're smart, funny, kind, and you save the team's ass on multiple occasions, but everyone but your extremely dedicated but small fanbase seem to forget about you, despite the fact you absolutely deserve better.

If you see this, quote repost with a robot that isn’t from star wars, star trek, doctor who, or transformers

It may be two months overdue, but I finally finished the crosstitched bookmarks kit that I had hoped to use as Christmas gifts.

Considering how rarely I do crafts, I think they turned out pretty well. They're certainly colorful!

A cow is licking Steve Harrington's face while Eddie Munson, beside him, laughs. Steve's eye's are squeezed shut as he tries to move away, but he's also laughing.

I may need to read the Dustin book now. It's too bad this Far Side strip was published in '88. This could have been Eddie (or the comic could have given him the idea) 😂
Gary Larson's The Far Side single-panel comic from 1988 showing a wide-eyed man sitting at a desk with his back to a window. A duck is staring at him from the window of another building behind him. The caption reads, "Anatidaephobia: the fear that somewhere, somehow, a duck is watching you."
