The man who disappeared:

The one who came out:

Something about gay narratives and how bare-bones tired stories about self acceptance are celebrated instead of seen as deliberately limited and minimising of gay experience.

Alternative construction of this post: the man who disappears is the hopeful, positive (more interesting?) Will from volume 1 who is consumed and forgotten by the events of volume 2 (possessed by Vecna/the Mind Flayer?) into a more conformist telling of gay coming-of-age.

I can’t believe it’s almost June and I haven’t rewatched a single episode of ST since the finale dropped because I just feel gross every time I think about it. It still hurts that I feel so averse to my favorite show.

im never getting over the fact that el’s suicide was the wrong ending, and the story was telling us that the whole time. i love a good doomed character. i love a good tragic storyline. el was not that character and she was not going to have that storyline. her arc was consistently about her being told she could not live a normal life, and her pushing back against that idea, and reclaiming what normalcy she could. from her fixations on romance and femininity, to her sneaking out to hang out with friends in season 2 and 3, and her struggling to fit in at school in season 4. these things were never presented to us as futile or stupid, she was correct to want these things and to take them for herself. her story was always about her taking agency back from her abuser(s), and if i think about season 5 for too long i start to get sick to my stomach

Lucas, your shirt is almost identical, but not quite. Try again in a different loop.

Has anyone else noticed this?

just a reminder that you never need to “earn” the right to come out. you can be scared, you can be happy, you can be brave, you can be excited, you can be sad, you can be proud. you can feel any possible emotion about it, and every single one is valid. your journey is valid. your queerness is valid.

if you’re out to people, i’m proud of you. if you’re going to come out to people in the future, i’m proud of you. if you never come out to anybody, i’m still so fucking proud of you.

you do not need to come out to earn your queerness, or your bravery, or your own acceptance. no matter what stage of life you’re in, you deserve to feel queer joy, however that looks for you. you are perfectly valid just as you are.

i’m proud of you. i love you. give yourself a hug <3

Remember when season 5 was supposed to be good
