Can’t stop thinking about this 🥹

i fear if you automatically think the people mad about the finale are just bylers/milevens that are mad that their ship hasn't "won", you are a tremendous part of the problem.

regardless of the ships, the insane amount of plot holes do in fact make it bad writing.

they have had THREE years to prepare this season. they promised us all of our questions would be answered. so why do i have more questions than before????? why is over 75% of the fandom so unsatisfied??????

why have we all had to convince ourselves that there were over 2 hours of scenes cut for the sake of having a last shred of hope for the finale????

people being mad over the ending goes BEYOND shipping wars. FAR beyond shipping wars. and it goes far beyond simple 'queerbaiting' too. will byers having such an ambiguous ending is blatant homophobia, while el having an ambiguous ending is not only an assassination to her character, but misogyny at its finest.

of all characters, why are the two of the most outcasted ones given the least satisfying endings? especially when these two characters are the reason the show has gotten this far in the first place?

when i say i'm mad about the finale, i don't mean i'm mad about byler not happening. that may well be the LEAST of my worries right now. it's what byler not happening represents. especially at this time period.

it's what robin and vickie breaking up off-screen and not getting their date at enzo's represents. it's what will's NON-CONFIRMED bf having no lines represents. it's what steve being in the room every single time eddie is mentioned in season 5 represents. it's what robin and nancy having little to no interactions represents. it's what el and max's lackluster reunion followed by el's claim that only mike has ever understood her represents. it's what the 'lovebirds' joke about steve and jonathan represents because that's all queer ships are to these men. a joke.

but not only queer ships, because once again, el as a character?? jane hopper? being given THAT ending? when she's been suffering from the start? so they decide the best ending for her is to make her suffer even more and follow it up with the slap in the face that was the potential ending she could've had which we know she didn't because it wouldn't make any sense??

it just irritates me how many people are trying to claim that others are just being childish for having negative opinions and conflicted feelings about the finale. because if you thought that THAT was a satisfying ending for EVERY character, please wake up.

I can’t say I’m surprised but genuinely FUCK the duffer brothers dude😭😭 devoted ten fucking years of my life to this show for the final season to be poorly written, corny, money hungry slop.

“Will’s crush on Mike was a lesson” ok fuck you?? Because why can’t the gay characters EVER be happy?? Why cant the gay characters EVER just get what they want?? Why do their emotions and love and self acceptance constantly have to be a “lesson”?? Why can’t we just be who we are and be proud and be happy? This is basically reinforcing the idea that even though will can accept himself, he’ll never get what he wants in life because of his sexuality.

Also calling Will’s love for Mike a “crush” after it’s been HEAVILY emphasized since season TWO and a huge part of will’s character arc, is INSANE.

WILL BYERS IDGAF WHAT THE DUFFERS SAY MIKE IS NOT YOUR TAMMY. HE NEVER WAS!!

so noah schnapp confirmed that the will and mike conversation scene at the tower was the scene he requested in ep 8 🤡

The actor, who has portrayed Will Byers on "Stranger Things" since he was 11, spoke about the series finale, the parallel journeys he and hi

What accepting yourself for being gay does to a mf

No other episode should top this one accept for the finale! 💓

I’m sorry but like stranger things is so much more than just who ends up with who. I absolutely adore byler but Will and Mike aren’t the only characters and they have so much more depth than who they love. Volume 2 made perfect sense to me and people saying they hated it and don’t like the writing are just upset byler wasn’t in every shot, there is like 20 characters in this show and they all are important. This show is more about the romance and I think the message that you must accept yourself and love yourself first is the message the should be putting out. You cannot fully love another without loving yourself first. Like not everyone you love is going to love you the same but the important thing is that they do accept and love you and you won’t ever lose them. Of course I still want byler to happen but I would be perfectly okay with a conversation of you’re brave and I do love you and you’ll always be my bestfriend, now let’s save the world! I needed to get away from all the negativity because this show has brought so much happiness to me.

I know I’m not easy. I’m not looking for easy.

casey and evan are cute but casey and izzie... like the repression and longing and slowburn and the enemies to friends to lovers of it all. it just hits different!
