pretttyyy unpopular opinion under the cut that’s also poorly worded bc i am braindead but i wanna put it out there nevertheless

i recognize that... st is a show that appeals to kids bc of the younger cast but i’ve never really considered it a KIDS show when you take into account the violence and the scary elements. but with how s3 went down i just think... that the writers are trying to appeal to kids/teens the most?? bc the thing that’s been going down the drain is the writing in favor for some really fun/snazzy shots when s1 wasn’t all that colorful or fun to look at but was much more solid in the writing department. but when you’re younger, generally (and i say generally bc i don’t speak for everyone) the writing is less important than other stuff. idk! it bums me out but i get that netflix just... wants to make money. it kinda sucks that it’s just taking the soul out of the show for the sake of it.

i just feel like. okay. if i am writing a tv show. and these two characters are meant to contrast each other - one of them fulfilling the role of the stereotypical outsider and the other the stereotypical cool guy - and their initial interactions are hostile. and the cool guy character breaks the property of the outsider character. and then gradually as the show progresses the cool guy character realised his behaviour was wrong. and his priority is to make amends with the outsider character. and part of doing this involves buying an item to replace the property he broke. but he doesn’t want the outsider character to know it was him because he wants to earn his forgiveness, not buy it. but it clearly means a lot to the outsider character. then i, as a tv show writer, feels like it would make sense for these characters to interact. to build up a relationship of some kind. to show that their similarities outweigh their differences. to have the outsider character eventually learn the truth about the gift because by that point the cool guy character has, according to the narrative, earned his forgiveness. because it would make sense in a story arc to complete things that way. and i know i am not a tv show writer just yet. but i just feel like this would be the logical course of action to take. but that is just me.

height differences

Mike goes through a growth spurt in high school and suddenly becomes 90% leg with lanky and gangly limbs. Will stays on the small/short side due to him not sleeping or eating well. Mike is delighted by their height difference - “how’s the weather down there Byers?” “hope a bird shits on your head, Wheeler” - and Will just rolls his eyes at all the short jokes.

But even though Mike’s way taller, Will is nimbler, quicker, and much more graceful - Mike is prone to tripping over himself and banging his head on things because he underestimates how tall he is. Will bursts into laughter ever time he stumbles down the stairs to the basement. Sometimes when Mike gets too excited and starts running in the hallways, Will has to grab his backpack to make sure he doesn’t fall flat on his face.

At one point Will decides that he should take advantage of Mike’s height and demands piggyback rides whenever he can. He gets to the point where he’ll just creep up on Mike - Mike always pretends not to notice - and jumps on his back making Mike wheeze as he wraps his arms around the back of Will’s legs to support him. In retaliation, Mike always uses Will’s head as a resting place wherever they are, even when he’s not tired. Will always sees through his bullshit but bears with it anyways. Mike also does that dramatic “Oh what’s this? Gravity is failing me!!” when Will is behind him and fall backwards to him while Will shrieks as he tries to to hold Mike’s weight up: “Michael Wheeler, if you don’t get up right now we’ll both fall, you hear me?! Both of us!”

And of course, there are things that go unspoken. Like how when Mike wraps his arm around Will’s shoulder, he thinks about how Will would be the perfect little spoon. Like how when Will looks up at Mike’s laughing face and knows if he tiptoes just a bit he’ll be close to perfect kissing height. But they keep these thoughts unvoiced and if Mike initiates hugs more often and Will clings to them a little longer, neither of them say anything about it.

(It’s okay though. They don’t know it yet but one day a few years in the future, both of them will laugh at how stupid they were when they were younger. And Mike will discover that yes, Will really is the perfect little spoon even though his feet are as cold as icicles. And Will finds out that even on his tiptoes, Mike has to lean down a little to kiss him properly. 

But it’s a perfect kiss every time.)

you know I never felt like I loser when I was with you.

Do you think thinking Richie’s gay is bi-erasure? I got a comment like that on one of my posts and I don’t think I’ve got entirely the right perspective on this as I’m not bi. You seem like a really cool person—is there any way to make sure an interpretation isn’t biphobic?

tbh this is tricky bc richie isnt actually canonically bi in the book, so technically its not bi erasure. however he’s been interpreted as a bi character for a very long time, and i’d say the bi interpretation has the strongest evidence and makes the most sense, so it does feel like bi erasure to consider him anything different. especially since bi male characters are such a rarity (which makes bi!richie feel really important, and something really sad to take away). but people interpret him to be gay in the book too. and in both the book and the movie his sexuality is vague enough that these are both valid interpretations. so i think whatever way you consider him is fine, as long as you don’t think he’s straight.

“dear losers, i know what this must seem like, but this is not a suicide note. you’re probably wondering why i did what i did. it’s because i knew i was too scared to go back. and if we weren’t together, if all of us alive weren’t united, i knew we’d all die. so, i made the only logical move. i took myself off the board. did it work? well, if you’re reading this, you know the answer. i lived my whole life afraid. afraid of what would come next, afraid of what i might leave behind. don’t. be who you want to be. be proud.and if you find someone worth holding onto, never ever let them go. follow your own path, wherever that takes you. think of this letter as a promise, a promise i’m asking you to make. to me. to each other. an oath.see, the thing about being a loser is you don’t have anything to lose. so be true. be brave. stand. believe. and don’t ever forget, we’re losers and we always will be.” - stanley uris

I am very happy with canon-gay-Richie. However, I am super not happy with canon-gay-Richie-at-the-expense-of-gay-Eddie. That’s dumb. They can both be gay

[biwheelers]

especially considering how queer coded eddie is in the miniseries and book,,,, we can have BOTH there doesn’t have to be a limit for the number of gay charas
