Oh yes, if someone got confused and is here by mistake, maybe this will help to be clear.

In my humble opinion...

[leporinelou]

just thought about the sauna scene

[thatgirlwithasquid]

…HONEY-

I was perfectly content not thinking about this but now here I am, I guess

[shieldofiron]

Just remembered they took Argyle away from us. FUCK YOU DUFFERS!

[rigginsstreet]

billys given him a lot to think about

[lets-talk-about-sects]

Okay kids buckle up for the INSANE story I just heard from my little brother

[lets-talk-about-sects]

**As a disclaimer my brother is a cis straight dude who only dates the most basic white girls you can find. He's very emotionally aware but doesn't linger on his emotions, just processes them and moves on (this is wild to me)**

He calls me on my break just to say hi, that he’s driving back to Denver from visiting his girlfriend, to which I respond “didn’t you break up with your girlfriend (of like a month) last month” and to which he says “yeah I have a new girlfriend, we’ve been together four weeks but I went up to spend the weekend and meet her friends” and I’m like ok great this is already ridiculous

[lets-talk-about-sects]

So we’re chatting and I’m teasing him about how he doesn’t sleep with people on first dates and he says that he’s changed his policy, it’s just that he won’t have sex with them if he’d rather be doing something else, so I joke that I’ve had that where I’d rather be watching the show Chernobyl (true) and he says “yeah or watching a movie with my housemate” and I say hey bud that’s kind of gay and he says yeah I actually had a weird gay moment last night

And I go oh???? And he goes yeah, I was at the bar with the girlfriend and some of her friends and one of them was a guy and we were hitting it off, doing a little flirting as you do with your bros at the bar~

[lets-talk-about-sects]

And then my cis straight brother goes on to explain that sometimes when you’re out with the homies and you’re having a good time and the vibes are right you just give em a little kiss, like just a kiss on the mouth between bros, “no tongue or anything like that but just to express that you’re close and having a good time”

I’m like “My dude that’s not a thing” and he’s like “between confident straight men it is” and I’m like “NO IT’S NOT"

[lets-talk-about-sects]

So there we’ve got my brother having casual queerplatonic relationships with his homies at the bar, and he’s telling me this and I’m obviously speechless, so he goes on and he’s like “so because this guy and I were hitting it off I go in for a little kiss and he fucking swerves me” and I’m like yes my guy but because my brother is actually very good with respecting boundaries he was like “ok man great communication, won’t do it again"

BUT

Apparently my brother and the dude and my brother's GIRLFRIEND who has been there the WHOLE TIME go outside (I assume to have a cigarette but he didn’t tell me that part) and the guy turns to my brother and is like “man I should have kissed you when you offered it” and my brother is like “cool good shit man” like in the most bro way possible and then the guy grabs his face between his hands and just PLANTS a big one on his mouth

And THEN the guy panics and shoves him down on the ground!! And my brother has the normal reaction to being shoved on the ground unexpectedly which is to say “what the FUCK” and the girlfriend says “what the FUCK” and the guy goes “what the FUCK” and leaves

[lets-talk-about-sects]

And my brother ended the story there and was musing on it like "this guy obviously has some complexes to work through about his sexuality, no confident straight man kisses another confident straight man and then panics and runs away”

Which took me out at the KNEES lol

[lets-talk-about-sects]

And that, dear readers, is the batshit story my brother told me!

[lets-talk-about-sects]

OH MY GOD AND

AND

I told my coworker this and they were like I’m actually shipping him and his roommate and I was like HUH because I hadn't considered that and then later my brother sent me a photo of his housemate wearing sexy handcuffs

[lets-talk-about-sects]

nice

Every time Steve and Billy argue, Billy takes his shirt off and gets his titties out, Steve's brain veers well off course and all of sudden, he can't remember why he was even mad in the first place, because boobies.

And it works every damn time.

[dragonflylady77]

Now hear me out. The other side of this is that Steve takes his shirt off and Billy bluescreens when the chest hair is out.

The one wants to win the argument the most takes his shirt off.

Boom.

Argument over.

[ihni]

They're perfect for each other.

For the first time, my drawing was traced, and the feeling isn't pleasant at all. I don't mind people being inspired by my drawing to create their own art, but it's not cool to trace over it and claim it as YOURS without giving credit. I ask that people don't do that; it's very sad to have your art traced and not receive credit.😢😢

[stranger-rants]

The way Billy was humanised by Eleven who formed a connection with him and she understood him as an abused person and she connected with that and she was horrified by that and she knew that his love for his mother could save them because the love she felt from the family she formed saved her life.

And then they ambiguously fucking killed her. It's infuriating. This girl who had learned that she could have a family and a home and she had a right to live and be a normal child was ambiguously fucking killed. 'She could be alive' - and the alternative is she is alone again.

Fucking horrible lesson to teach to survivors.

It could work only if the show was framed as a tragedy… but we got some hopeful wholesome shit served with that :)

[kidovna]

its been a while since the finale and i think ive hit the depression stage of grief. i’m genuinely tearing up thinking about how cruel they’ve been to will byers and how the epilogue felt like a consolation prize.

they could have written his queer arc without bringing mike into the picture, but they did it anyway without any pay off and ruined their friendship in the process. mike can’t even touch him anymore. they forced will out of the closet after being manipulated by his abuser to do so. they took away his autonomy over and over again and never addressed any of the blatant allegories of CSA. they made will sacrifice his feelings and play couples counsellor for mlvn and mike couldn’t say i love you back to her even in her final moments. they gave him hope in the beginning of s5 only for it to amount to nothing. they made him get over his love for mike because they thought it was realistic. they didn’t even give him a boyfriend at the end, they just had mike wheeler headcanon him having one far away from hawkins.

oh will byers i’ve never seen a character as tragic as you that i’ve related to and i wish you got a better ending. i hope you leave and find your people and be happy.

The look that launched 10,000 fics.

[prettyboybillyhargrove]

From now on this is my only respond to antis

[bubblegumflavor]

"They grow up so fast.." *dramatic sigh*

"Shut up, asshole.."

"You better not cry like a bitch, Harrington. ..Damn, are you crying??"

"I'm not crying you're crying."

They are both wearing sunglasses because they are crying.

AU where Billy and Steve drive Max and Dustin to their first day of college in their brand new, blue 1989 Chevy Silverado.

The sky is blue, the birds are chirping, everything's right with the world.

(Billy's new tattoos show a flower, shaped like a Demogorgon and the kill count he scored. The bat is a symbol for Steve though he might tell people it was the weapon he used and if anyone asks why the crown and the date, Billy will say it's the night he became Keg King of Hawkins, but actually it's the night he met King Steve Harrington for the first time.)

Low-key glad the duffers didn’t try to give Billy or Eddie or Steve a coming out storyline (idk if they would know how to handle bisexuality) after basically forcing Will to come out in a kind of traumatizing way because he’s scared of Vecna torturing him rather than on his own terms at all.
