PARTY AND TEENS POST EPILOGUE 90S HEADCANONS
- will byers HATES pop punk music he thinks it’s soooo boring and lame and he says it feels so on the nose and in your face and it lacks any subtlety or real artistry or anything unique
- mike secretly likes pop punk music but he only listens to it when will isnt with him and he doesn’t tell will that he listens to it because he doesn’t want to sit through another rant but now the rant would be accompanied by those judgy eyebrows
- el not only helps dustin make flash cards, but she gets upset when he doesn’t let her make them for him. she has a whole process with color coding and her special highlighters and pens and she’ll draw little symbols on them and dustin keeps every single set of flash cards she makes
- jonathan byers was at kurt cobain’s first show at the pyramid in nyc and he’s sooo pissed when nirvana becomes mainstream (the og name three songs guy)
- max runs into ralph macchio in LA one day at a random restaurant and she talks about it forever and lucas is so jealous of how much she talks about it and also that he wasn’t there
- el goes to beauty school to become a hairdresser. she briefly apprentices as a nail tech before she decides that she hates the chemical smell of nail polish, and yes she defends the smell of hair dyes and bleaches whenever someone points out that they both involve chemicals
- lucas thought frosted tips were lowkey so cool and tried to convince every one of his friends to get them and he almost got steve to but that got shut down by dustin after el volunteered to do them for steve
- robin doesn’t have her own apartment, she jumps from living with whoever her current girlfriend is to living with steve when they break up (my uhaul lesbian ily) but she does pay rent or utilities or whatever everywhere she goes
- the party still has coordinated halloween costumes when they want to from across the country and they all take pictures in their costumes and mail them to each other and they tape them together to make it look like a group photo
- el is obsessed with making friendship trinkets. she goes through phases, sometimes it’s beaded lizard keychains and braided bracelets and beaded bracelets and cheap earrings, and let’s just say she had a rainbow loom. one of the large ones
- max loves pj harvey and paramore and fifth harmony she pretty much only listens to female fronted bands on principle, and lets just say she was turning female rnb and female alt rock UP
- dustin actually changes his major like six times and everyone keeps going “you’re gonna have to play so much catch up” and like he does, but he just takes a bunch of summer classes and he handles it with like very minor breakdowns
- lucas goes on to become a lawyer and everyone teases him for dressing preppier now, especially max, but the moment he gets on his suit and tie, she doesn’t have a thing to complain about and they both know it and yes he and max quote legally blonde at each other constantly
