timeline: 1978 (AU where the grabber doesn’t exist)

reader: gn!reader x Vance Hopper

He's VERY protective, he doesn't even let people look at you weird.

His love language is physical touch and quality time. He's not great with words, but he will always show that he cares and loves you.

Vance is very very stubborn, but he’s extremely loyal and doesn't know what he’d do without you.

Before you started dating, he denied his crush on you for months, everyone else saw it before he did.

When he finally came to terms with the fact that he liked you he was kind of angry about it (“why does y/n have this much control over me?!?”)

He teases you constantly, but when someone else tries to, he's ready to fight them.

He doesn’t talk about his feelings much, but when you're upset he’ll sit next to you quietly until you start talking.

His mom loves you, she is super sweet to you and always lets you come over.

When Vance finally says “I love you” it’s quiet and serious, but he 100% means it from his heart.

His favorite dates are just hanging out at the grab-n-go while he plays pinball and you cheer him on, he calls you his “little cheerleader”.

Later, after those dates, you guys go on late-night walks together where you share a soda and talk about random things.

If you ever wear his clothes he acts annoyed but he secretly loves it and thinks it’s adorable, and you can tell.

Ehh I could probably name like 100 more similarities to the two. Observe

I think i might like the sketch more then tbe Grey scale/red but ill put the colored ver under the cut!!

• Lives off frozen meals cause he WILL burn the house down

• Blondie STAN… he loves their music

ALBERT-

• Kirknuinely never even had his first kiss (mix between nobody being interested/immediately shutting down any form of advances)

• Taught max how to ice skate after he taught himself (his teaching was just shoving him onto the ice and telling him to figure it out,, but still offered real help)

• Loves his brother even more than he loves his dog Samson

• Surprisingly *good* at cooking, but mostly lives off cigarettes and coffee 🫩

• But the coffee has 10 pounds of sugar in it or he won’t actually drink it

• Actually hates when its *too* quiet, which is why he let Max crash at his place so quickly

• Naturally vibes pretty hard to Pink Floyd

GWEN-

• Loves tarot cards, created her own deck since she couldn’t buy them herself

• Reads anything from Ed and Lorraine Warren who were pretty big psychic/demonology at the time
