MOCK ARTICLE: The most extraordinary choir
read here -> https://toyhou.se/~literature/149232.the-most-extraordinary-choir
Synopsis: This article talks about a world-famous tale of a man and his choir made up entirely of Ervas. Whether the story is fact or fiction is up to the reader to decide.
Ervas are a commonly found livestock animal that is omnipresent on the continent. Imagine a goat/sheep, but somehow louder and incredibly stupid. They are very social and vocal animals and almost seem to marvel in the (negative) attention that they get.
I enjoy thinking about the world of Eraden and imagining all of the stories, real or not, that take place within it. This is the first one that I wrote and 'published' on my Toyhouse. It's very amateurish and my writing needs many improvements, but it's still dear to me.
I plan on making more similar articles, and writing short stories about the world and the characters that inhabit it. There is so much to tell a and I'm excited to share all of it :D
Any questions, ask away!

May i ask you why you think Henry is Mike’s rival?
Oh, yeah, of course! This is probably my most off the wall theory and isn't really something I've thought much about so it'd be good to talk about it. Thanks for asking ^o^
first, here is an excerpt from a post I made a while back where i randomly, terrifyingly stumbled into this "theory":
Henry waited until Mike was just about to leave to start enacting his plan. Why didn't he do it earlier? In my extremely humble, extremely ridiculous bordering on crackfic opinion... it's because Henry knew Mike Wheeler would never let Will go back to Hawkins if Mike knew exactly what was going on. So Henry had to wait. He knew El would try to stop him. And he knew that Mike with Will in tow will try to help and go back to Hawkins. And in the one week it'll take them to get there, Henry will be ready to welcome Will back home.
Anyway, haha. To continue, my "theory" is partly due to my understanding that Henry functions as a character to pit against the other characters (in this case, El, Will, and Mike) in order to address their arcs. Like how I think that Eddie died for Dustin's arc and Max fell into a coma for Lucas and El's arc, I think it's also likely that Henry largely exists for the character arcs of El, Will, and Mike.
Henry is El's nemesis, the supernatural antagonist she "created" and must defeat to get her happy ending. Henry is Will's foil, with the parallels and mirrors between them throughout S4. and Henry is Mike's rival, as in, the guy Mike is fighting with over Will. Basically I am operating under the framework that Mike - Will - Henry are in a subtextual love triangle.
Because what we know about Henry so far is that he has not once tried to kill Will. Will even mentions that "he" wants to kill everyone but Will. And add in the fact that in S2, the Mind Flayer / Henry's biggest obstacle to fully possessing Will was Mike. It was Mike who figured out that Will was being possessed, and it was Mike who figured out the idea for the shed, it was Mike's monologue that largely helped Will break out of his possession enough to send a message in code, etc etc. Reading between the lines, S2 was a battle between these two characters for Will. And of course, Mike proved victorious. However, we end S2 with Mike choosing El over Will. This breaks Will's heart. This makes Henry angry.
S3 largely revolves around El vs. Mind Flayer so I am skipping that for now. but I also have a little bit to talk about this in my Henry theory posts. The links can be found on my pinned!
We resume to S4 with the more overt love triangle of Will - Mike - El. And Henry's introduction to the plot. Now, from our understanding of the narrative, El is going to break up with Mike. which would leave him free to pursue Will. But, this is where our subtextual love triangle comes into play. Mike's biggest fear is losing the people he loves and the one he loves the most and fears losing the most is Will. We spend S4 with Mike and Will rebuilding their bestfriendship. We enter S5 with their emotional bonds at their height (Will's romantic heartache aside) from Mike's side, so what would make Mike fear losing Will again? The threat of the UD and Henry. Like, metaphorically, Mike’s fear is going to be losing Will to Henry.
Sorry it's so longwinded but that's basically the gist of it! Oh and also:
Henry has powers and Mike doesn't (special vs. normal, Mike’s insecurity).
(In my theories I posit that) Henry kept Will alive in the UD while Mike just gave up (see: quarry scene) when he lost El.
Henry and Will have a psychic bond, Mike and Will have "I didn't say anything", "You didn't have to"
Alright I think that's all the ridiculousness and thought I can muster for this theory rn lmao I still have a lot to think about it. Again, some relevant links in my pinned ^o^ you probably didn't expect to get this long of an answer so thank you for reading!

I'm all for self inserts and character/oc content, but it annoys me so much when people tag A/B when the story is A/oc & B/oc
If the story is about a poly 'V' stop tagging the ends together. Like A/oc/B is fine, but if A & B aren't dating as well do not use A/B

laurel and susanna's kids all have at least some portion of the moms in them: laurel's get-shit-done mindset and susanna's vision for finding magic in the everyday. (they also have the temper and the strong feelings that they dive headfirst into, not to mention this immense pressure of living up to a legacy they love. but that's part of what makes them a little impossible to look away from. they commit pretty intensely, and they make you want to commit too.)
belly's got it in spades, but so does jeremiah, steven, and conrad. they take chances and pull through. they try to do right by each other. they listen and are scathingly honest and gentle with each other, with comfortable familiarity. they care so much. they've got this magic of the summer they love, and they invite other people into it so they get to feel it too. it's what they've done every year, during this one season of open possibilities and love and grief and every messy thing in between, and they will have it for the rest of their lives, memories and habits and the joyfulness.
these four kids have got a sense of family between them that's real special. I would like this show to end with their summer still as magical as they always remember it: together, and having fun.
