thinking about what would’ve happened if there was a clear rift in the basketball team; we already kinda get a taste of it in the show, when one of the boys is arguing against disdainful talk about the trailer park and drug addicts.
Sure, the circumstances don’t exactly paint Eddie Munson in the best light (understatement of the century), but that doesn’t mean they all just get swept along with Jason’s narrative.
And then, as Jason gets more and more entrenched in bigotry, in a dangerous rage, the murmurs of dissent against him get a little louder.
The doubt grows. Someone voices the thought that this feels wrong, that the way the town immediately assumed Eddie was a serial killer feels too close to ‘83, to when Benny Hammond’s death was quickly ruled a suicide, while his loved ones still insist to this day that it simply could not be true.
Ripples of agreement. A couple stories are shared—nothing major, as none of them really know Eddie Munson, save for his theatrical jibes in the cafeteria.
But a kid mentions that he once sat behind Eddie in History, that they’d swapped seats when Eddie appeared to notice how he was squinting at the blackboard.
Another boy quietly mumbles that he’d once arranged to buy weed from him but decided against it at the last minute, and Eddie never once complained, never held it over his head.
Maybe it’s even more scary, how Jason Carver can whip the town hall into a frenzy, even though not everyone’s convinced. Not everyone needs to believe in the Devil, after all, for the fear to be a threat.
But maybe, much later, it could be enough for Eddie Munson to know that the hatred isn’t universal. That there’s people out there who he barely knows, who barely even know him—but they’re still certain that he couldn’t be capable of such evil.

people from twitter will come here and download gifs and pictures to repost them there without giving any credit to the people who edited them as if it didn’t take hours for some of them to look the way they look but if i tell them to go fuck themselves i’ll be the bad guy

if you don’t see a problem w deepfake porn please don’t fucking interact w me. as an afab individual this is a very real thing that can damage a person’s image as badly as nudes being spread. and don’t flood me w shit takes. there are many consenting sex workers, and finding one who looks like someone you know, while creepy, is still miles better than pasting a woman’s face onto a naked body. consent is and always will be key and please check yourself if you even slightly disagree.

Ooh I guess guest comments are back on Ao3. Hopefully the spam/porn bots don’t come back. I thankfully never got any, but I think they were targeting bigger fandoms while the lady d fandom is basically its own little niche section of the re fandom
