PLSS can you drop your top 5 LIS fanfics and top 5 LIS fanartists 😋
Of course, thank you so much for asking! I’m gonna try my best to share currently active artists and writers <3 I’m not sure I’m gonna be able to cap myself at top 5 for either 🥹 So let’s see…
@thaismarendaz is the GOAT Nathan artist 🥰 her drawing skills and ability to convey emotions and story through a piece of art are incredible! My fav pieces of hers are young Nathan at a party and Nathan’s family photo ❣️
@wevvix also makes some AMAZING Nathan fanart, go check them out!!!
@rewindingtime also made a few cute Caulscott works recently. Hopefully there will be more?? 🥺
@caulscott-cuddles isn’t active anymore, but they drew a tonnnnn of adorable works 💕
@minimuii doesn’t make caulscott works anymore, but they made the well-known alt-timeline polaroids series that I just love (and helped inspired EVoY!)
@all-in-my-universe made some great renders of lis including Nathan and caulscott back in the day <3
Okay, some of my favorites are well-known fics, like…
They’re all amazing, but I thought I’d share a few lesser-known and/or currently active fics I’d also highly recommend ❣️
Ambivalence is currently in progress (almost complete!) by @weer02 and is a really unique take on if Nathan ended up saving Max from the Dark Room. It’s almost at it’s conclusion and really sweet 🥺
Unlived Consequences by @hardhuilen is a very unique and sweet take on what would’ve happened if alt!Max came back and OT!Max had killed alt!Chloe. Thought-provoking, and the caulscott doesn’t hurt 🤪
Grazing the Fire by @amoristt is a really fun and more light-hearted Nathan x Reader fic that is currently in progress. Definitely recommend, their Nathan is super in character!
Has Anybody Seen Nathan Prescott? is one of my fav explicit Nathan/reader fics ;) Big warning for canon-accurate Nathan wilin’ behavior tho lmfao
More fic recs under the cut in case you’re interested 🥴
The image began to bloom in the developer tray, slow and ghostlike.
Nathan leaned in without thinking, breath caught in his throat as the shapes sharpened. A lighthouse blossomed from the bone white paper. A striped pillar, tall and solitary—its beam smeared into long, glowing arcs across the surface of the ocean, light dragged and stretched into a soft saucer shape by the long exposure. The water below looked unreal, shimmering with hints of the lighthouse's light, the horizon line of the sky barely there.
Nathan was hit by a sickening feeling of déjà vu, and then he realized what it was coming from: the lighthouse from Arcadia.
"That looks just like a place from back home,” he said before he could stop himself.
Max glanced over at him, then back down at the tray, her smile softening as she rocked it gently. “Does it?”
“Yeah,” he murmured. “There’s a lighthouse near where I grew up. On a cliff. Woods before you can get up to it. Kinda lonely, just like this.” He swallowed. “This is… really close.”
The resemblance was uncanny. The framing, the isolation, the way the light cut through darkness—it tugged something half-buried yet dreadfully painful up from his memories.
Salt air. Wind. Strawberry blonde hair glimmering by the cliff's edge.
Max gave him a pleased, almost knowing look. “It reminded me of a place from my childhood too,” she said wistfully, eyes still on the print.
rewatching some jancy scenes in an edit and i just realized in s1, after they cut their hands to bait the demogorgon, they bandage up their hands, right? but nancy's bandage is cleaner and more secure, while jonathan's is just a single, one-way wrap around his knuckles.
the wrap around nancy's hand is the perfect example of a figure of 8 bandaging—but the one around jonathan's, bless nancy's soul, could possibly be too tight or too limiting for the patient (especially since she put the lock in the web space between his index finger and thumb). there's a decent chance jonathan's just saying that no, it's not that tight to not make nancy feel guilty.
anyways MY POINT IS: this means jonathan knows first aid—but nancy doesn't. prime example of show, not tell.
not that it's a bad thing to not know first aid, of course, but regardless this is a neat, subtle detail i've just now noticed.
i don't know why this devastates me so much. but if we think about it in the context of the byers...
EDIT: dr. mike, a renowned doctor on youtube, uploaded a video reacting to injuries in stranger things earlier today:
jonathan being the only one thinking about disinfecting before trying to get the mindflayer out of el's wound in S3... mhm
I feel so insane about ai. I've had face-to-face conversations with people who use it for therapy, who use it to calculate the safety of pill interactions, who use it for all their emails and grant applications and legal documents and academic papers and finance sheets and for every single question they have about the world, and if you tell them about the ecological costs they just laugh and say "I guess I've used a lot of water." and I've been in multiple gatherings of 10+ people where I'm THE ONLY PERSON who doesn't use chatgpt. it's turning me into a ranting raving pariah, because how don't you people see??? why don't you understand??????? this bullshit didn't exist five years ago, you absolutely do not need it, and it is destroying everything
Too much movement makes your joints hurt and too little movement also makes your joints hurt. This would imply that there's an optimal amount of movement that allows your joints to not hurt. This is a lie.
If I ever share anything that was AI generated it is purely by accident. I hate that it's getting harder and harder to tell and it makes me want to never use the internet again. It definitely had its faults, but man I miss the internet of the 2000s so much.
“oh one time my—” (abruptly stops myself from saying the words “tumblr mutual” in public) “overseas colleague”
So many ppl have said that what the Elementary version of Holmes gets right is that perfect ratio of low asshole energy to high bitchy energy, and while I hear that and totally agree I think what they Really got right is that Holmes is totally and certifiably an absolute fucking freak. He’s a complete weirdo. He loves kinky sex. He has all his bizarre little hobbies. He gets deep joy from these things. And he is not at all ashamed of any of this, he’s actually quite proud of it all and willing to share it with anyone, out of a true love for his passions. He doesn’t feel confined by convention or expectations at all, he just wants to be vibing with his weird little projects and solve some weird little crimes and That Is How Sherlock Holmes Should Be.
and! And he actually fucking cares about people and wants to help! Not just as an outlet or way to show off his intellect! He may frequently be annoyed by these emotions but Elementary Sherlock wants to do good more than any other Sherlock and he is. hands down. Best Sherlock.
What would you do if you met an exact clone of yourself, memories and all?
deep heart to heart
make-out/seduction/sex/etc
fight (physical or verbal)

some secret option (do tell)
Button that shows results and sends you to the Twilight Zone

I saw some James Webb Telescope scientists give a talk and one of them said this was her favorite image because she had waited and worked 25 years to see this.
200k notes is insane who the hell are u people
why don't you agitate the contents of a barrel full of cream for a while then reach your hand inside and maybe you'll feel butter

This is a crème de la crème joke.
