My Favorite Robin Buckley Details From “Rebel Robin” (that you can feel free to use in your fics)

These are canonical details from the book "Rebel Robin" by A.R. Capetta. It's so good please go read it!

Robin's favorite flowers are stargazer lilies.

Robin’s favorite songs canonically include: “Edge of Seventeen” by Stevie Nicks, “I Want to Break Free” by Queen, and “All Through the Night by Cyndi Lauper”.

Robin doesn't like Hall & Oates (and that fact KILLS me).

Robin has hippie parents.

Robin had a bad perm for almost her entire sophomore year.

Robin didn't know she was a lesbian until almost the end of her sophomore year.

The real reason Robin can't drive is that she stole her parent's car after being grounded and crashed it while driving to the prom. She was promptly chased down by Hopper the whole night.

Robin's dream was to elope to Europe for a summer with a "special someone" (she called it Operation Croissant. She's such a fucking dork I'm in love with her).

Robin had a friend named Milton from band (please use him in your fics! He's so cool! He's Japanese American, he plays the electric keyboard, he played Robin's favorite song at prom!!!)

Robin worked at the movie theater before Scoops Ahoy.

Robin gave herself a short cropped cut with rusty scissors before the events of season 3.

Robin and Barb were friends in elementary school.

people shipping robin with steve or eddie annoy me, she’s literally a lesbian

Robin: Due to personal reasons, I will be leaving Hawkins and moving to an undisclosed location. Max: Did Nancy say 'I love you' and you said 'Thanks'? Robin: THE REASONS ARE PERSONAL–

Robin: *rolls over in her sleep and knees Nancy in the ribs*

Nancy: Ow! You kneed me

Robin, still asleep: Yeah, I do need you…

Nancy, holding back tears: Ok…

Nancy to the party: Alright, listen up you little shits!

Also Nancy: Not you Robin, you’re lovely and we’re glad you’re here.

Nancy: *puts a little note in Robin’s breakfast*

Robin: *finds and reads the note* Aww, “I love you”, how cute.

Nancy: : )

Robin: I love you too egg!

Nancy: …

Nancy: I’ve been dropping the most insanely obvious hints for months, nothing.

Robin: Wow, they sound really dumb.

Nancy: They’re not though, they’re actually really smart, just dense.

Robin: Maybe be more obvious! Like just straight up say “hey, I love you!”

Nancy: Ok. Robin, I love you.

Robin: Yes! Exactly like that!

Nancy: Oh my god…

Robin: And if that goes over their head, I’m sorry Nance but they’re too dumb for you.

Nancy: Rob…

Nancy: I like your pants.

Robin: Thanks! They were 50% off.

Nancy: I’d like them 100% off ;)

Robin: The store can’t just sell free stuff,

Nancy: That’s not what I-

Robin: That’s a terrible way to run a business Nance.

Steve: Robin and I are so close we finish each other’s…

Robin: *zoned out*

Steve: Ssss

Robin: *snapping back to reality* Sssomebody once told me-

Robin: *Staring off into space*

Nancy: You good robs?

Robin: *Still staring into the abyss* Lasagna is just Spaghetti flavoured cake…

Nancy: *Extremely concerned but also question human existence* Ok what the fu-

Steve: Robin’s gone on a trip for band which means I’m gonna donate half my wardrobe, try to cook something and most likely set the kitchen on fire, do my nails and give myself a haircut.

Nancy, extremely concerned: Why?

Steve: Robin is like 98% of my will power.

Dustin: Ok, thanks dads.

Everyone: …

Dustin: Why’s everyone staring at me?

Robin: You just called Steve and Eddie your dads. You said, “Thanks dads”.

Dustin: What no I didn’t, I said thanks guys.

Steve: Do you see us as father figures Henderson?

Dustin: No! If anything I see you both as bother figures cause you’re always bothering me!

Nancy: Hey! Show your dads some respect!

Dustin: I didn’t call them my dads!

Eddie: No, no, no, Dustin, we take it as a compliment.

Mike: It’s not a big deal, one time I called El “Will”.

Dustin: Guys! Jump on that! Mike’s madly in love with will but still dating El!

Max: Old news! But you calling Steve and Eddie your daddy’s-

Dustin: Hey! Daddy is not on the table here!

Lucas: But you did call them your dads dude.

Dustin: You shut up! You’ve done nothing but lie since you got here!

Lucas: Ok I’ll admit, I stole your DnD book, but the dad thing? That happened.

Dustin: AHAH! Lucas admitted to stealing my DnD book! It was a trap! All a part of my crazy, devious plan.

Steve: We believe you.

Dustin: Thank you.

Eddie: Son, would you like to talk about it later over a, game of catch?

Dustin: …I’d like that.

Nancy: So, who broke it? I’m not mad, I just wanna know.

Robin: I did, I bro-

Nancy: No. No you didn’t. Eddie?

Eddie, messing with Steve: Don’t look at me, look at Steve

Steve: What? I didn’t break it.

Eddie: Huh, that’s weird. How did you even know it was broken?

Steve: Because it’s sitting right in front of us, and it’s broken.

Dustin, also messing with Steve: Suspicious.

Steve: No it’s not!

Lucas: If it matters, probably not but, Erica was the last one to use it.

Erica: Liar I don’t even drink that crap!

Lucas: Oh really? Then what were you doing by the coffee cart earlier?

Erica: I use the wooden stirs to push back my cuticles, everyone knows that LUCAS!

Robin: Ok, ok, let’s not fight! I broke it! Let me pay for it Nance.

Nancy: No. Who broke it?

Dustin: Nancy…Max has been awfully quiet.

Max: Really?!?

Dustin: yeah really!

Max: Oh my god!

(Arguing in the background)

Nancy: I broke it. It burnt my hand so I punched it.

Eddie, DMing a game for the Fruity Four: *BBEG voice* And now, time for the deadliest game of them all…

Robin, nodding: Knife Monopoly.

Eddie: …Actually I was just gonna send his minions to hunt you for sport but now I’m seriously interested in whatever the fück Knife Monopoly is.

Robin: Bad news, Steve forgot his keys and we where all locked out of the house. Good news I knew how to pick the lock! Bad news now Steve is concerned why I know how to pick locks, Eddie and the kids where pretty impressed though, I didn’t have the heart to tell them I learned how to pick locks when I was fifteen because I thought it would impress pretty girls. Good news a pretty girl saw me do it! Bad news, it was Nancy, and she’s already seen me trip over my own feet multiple times and burst into tears when a baby deer was just a little bit TOO cute…it’s too late…she already knows.

Robin, texting Nancy: Help I’ve been kidnapped!

Nancy: where are you?

Robin: In a car with some random stranger!

Nancy: Hold on I’ll call Steve.

Steve, picking up the phone: Hello?

Nancy: Where’s Robin? She just texted me saying she’s been kidnapped.

Steve: Robin? Robins with me…I’ll call you back. *turning to talk to Robin* THE NEW HAIRCUT ISN’T THAT BAD!

Robin: WHO ARE YOU?!?!?!

Steve and Nancy talking to Robin, Eddie and the kids: I am at a loss for words.

Robin: Despite being at a loss for words, they both continued to yell ut us for the next 45 minutes.

Robin: My girlfriend once told me she thinks my eyes are Weezer blue…..She also often tells me she thinks that, I am autistic.

Realised they had similar dynamics so thought I’d draw them us such.

Steve (teaching Robin how to drive): Ok, so you’re driving down the road, and all of a sudden Mike and Dustin are crossing it, what do you hit?

Robin: Oh definitely Mike. I mean Nancy might be a bit mad at me but I could never hit Dustin.

Steve, rubbing his temples: The brakes Robin. You hit the brakes!

Eddie: I hate physical touch and any signs of affection. It’s just gross and unnecessary.

Robin: You’re literally sitting in Steve’s lap.

Eddie: That’s…irrelevant.

Robin: I wasn’t THAT drunk last night

Steve: You were flirting with Nancy

Robin: So, she’s my girlfriend?

Steve: You asked her if she was single and when she said no you started crying.

Eddie: So, I’m in love with Steve.

Robin: Steve, my best friend?

Eddie: Yeah. Thoughts?

Robin: And prayers…

Steve: FOUR MONTHS!!!

Nancy: What’s he on about?

Robin: Oh nothing.

Steve: You sat back and watched while I watered a fake plant, for FOUR MONTHS!!!!!!!

Nancy: What should we do this weekend?

Robin: Eat tacos.

Nancy: No! Something romantic!

Robin: …Eat tacos in the rain?

Robin: Hey Nance, I really like you. Do you like me too?

Nancy: *literally holding her hand* Rob we’ve been dating for almost a year now.

Robin: I know, but do you like me-

Steve: Do you think I can fit 15 marshmallows in my mouth?

Nancy: you’re a hazard to society.

Robin: And a coward.

Eddie: Do 20!

Dustin: I made a marshmallow Steve! Look his arms are crossed because he’s mad at Robin for messing with his hair! Do you like it?

Steve, holding back tears: I-it’s fine.

Me, an asexual: I lied, I actually don’t like sex. Put your clothes back on. Now, I’m going to explain the entire plot of Stranger Things to you.
