“I’m not much for public speaking, or much for speaking, or, come to think of it, much for the public.”

i’m not letting anyone gaslight me into pretending the duffers choices weren’t homophobic. you don’t deploy decades of queer cinematic language, build an entire emotional arc on queer longing, and then yank the narrative rug out from under a queer storyline without that meaning something. intent or not, the impact is the same: queer people got told their love is optional, expendable, and ultimately less important than a het couple the show itself kept proving didn’t work. that’s not “subtext,” that’s structural homophobia baked straight into the storytelling.

i dont think u understand how feral i would have gone for an actual coming out scene between will and mike. mike asking if there were any girls in lenora (bc hes thinking abt the fact he thought the painting was for a girl) and then will saying there weren't any girls. there were never any girls. there will never be any girls, mike.

I used to think enemies to lovers was my favourite dynamic, but after looking at my ships I can confidently say that friends who have no boundaries, are completely obsessed with each other, are basically already dating, will let the world burn down for the other, and are too clueless to realize they’re in love to actually still just friend because by the time they realized their feelings one of them has moved on/died is my favourite dynamic

Sleep will come later, I'm busy pondering right now

[gaysforbyler]

The fact that pretty much every single byler of a couple years ago thought that s5 would be an apocalyptic, closed down Hawkins really says something. Most reactions to filming leaks early on were “why are they at school? Why would school be open?” Glossing over the massive gates on the ground was a really weird direction for the show to go in.

I lost so much interest in s5 once I saw the pictures of the party at school. But the duffers were right. No one saw that coming. Because it’s illogical
