Here's my art for @commanderogerss @strangerthingsbigbang fic

'my heart stopped beating, such a softer sin'

It’s 2006, skinny jeans are in fashion and it’s only a few months until My Chemical Romance releases The Black Parade. You have a date with Steve Harrington to go to Warped Tour. Of course, Robin doesn’t believe Steve, especially since the two of you met on MySpace, and you don’t live in Hawkins. But what could go wrong when a scene kid dates someone who listens to Justin Timberlake?

Under the cut the MySpace 2006 vibed version of the art as gif. Warning: flashing gif.
