I don’t wanna be annoying in the op’s notes but @uncleshits YOUR MIND
[ID: Screenshot of a tumblr post by fromjuniper‚ which reads “its not gay if it happened in a timeloop”. Tags by uncleshits read “#holsom fic premise #<<<< OHO???????? #both of them are like ‘oh shit i’m in a time loop. I can do ANYTHING and no one will know once I get out of the loop’ #so obv they hookup (thinking the other doesn’t know about the time loop) but OOPSIE #they’re both in the loop :) and hooked up on the 2nd day. literally as fast as possible” /END ID]
#and it’s all about them realizing that like. they Want this to have consequences #and they Want a second day #and they can’t work together until they can admit that to each other… - @dykeseinfeld
Actually who gave Noah Kahan the right to sum up my whole personality by saying in love with being noticed; afraid of being seen.
a ransom who has dreams and hopes and ambitions and squashes them down because biology pre-med is practical and he's good at it and at least he still got to play hockey right he knows he likes that so what if he's graduated college and barely explored who he actually is so what if he never even looked at the other possibilities because there was never enough time so what if he never actually kissed his best friend at least they have an amazing friendship who really cares things are Fine they're Good Enough
a ransom who looks across the hall at the separate bedroom that his best friend who he's in love with sleeps in and is terrified he's lost his chance and that he's made the wrong decision dragging the past along with him for no reason

“Hmm. Jack, if you could have a superpower, what would it be?”
Bitty looked up from his phone to ask the question of Jack, who was making an omelet for breakfast. It was one of Jack’s favorite things, to cook for Bitty, especially when there was a morning when they could both sleep (or not-sleep) in, and then cook and sit and eat and drink coffee and clean up together before even considering starting their day.
“I don’t know,” Jack said. “Mind reading, maybe? So people wouldn’t be so confusing all the time.”
find myself listening to music i loved years ago and i realize i still am her
Much of the supernatural horror that Will has to contend with works extremely well as a metaphor for his issues – the Upside Down is the closet, the monsters represent homophobia, his powers are as repressed as he is, yadda yadda – and in my opinion, this makes him a relatively easy character to analyze. Being able to draw on the supernatural stuff just gives you a lot more material to work with.
Mike, though? A goddamn enigma. He’s often present when supernatural stuff is happening, but he doesn’t interact with it to anywhere near the degree that Will does, and it’s much harder to fold him into the allegory being told here without reducing him to “Will’s love interest”.
And that’s interesting, don’t you think?
That the “stereotypical” gay boy who attracts homophobes like moths to a flame has had his issues laid out in code since the beginning? Whereas the straight-passing one, who’s so deep in the closet he’s probably not even out to himself yet, is so hard to read that most of the GA assume his bizarre personality change in S3 was a symptom of bad writing?
Figuring yourself out as a queer is a challenge even today, and part of the reason it’s so challenging is because heteronormativity steamrolls right over our right to know that being queer is a valid option.
The closet isn’t a queer space – it’s a queer-shaped void within a heteronormative space.
Stranger Things is full of examples of this:
Will isn’t shy about expressing his disgust at the thought of dating girls, but he’s dealing with a lot of childhood trauma so he’s just a late bloomer, right?
Will is jealous and upset about his new step-sister’s relationship with the boy he’s been attached to at the hip since he was five, but it must be because he’s in love with her or otherwise misses his platonic buddy, right?
El’s character arc is about freeing herself from toxic relationships with men, but her infatuation with the boy who puts her on a pedestal is the one exception to that, right?
Robin shows zero romantic interest in men before coming out, but she and Steve just vibe so well it’s reasonable to assume they’re love interests, right?
Vickie paused Fast Times at fifty-three minutes five seconds, but she has a boyfriend so she must be straight, right?
Over and over, the show presents us with an ambiguously queer situation and dares us to assume it’ll end heteronormatively.
If this were any other show I’d call it queerbaiting… but these situations just keep ending in a non-heteronormative way, all while symbolically dancing around Mike.
Granted, “non-heteronormative” doesn’t necessarily equal gay – El’s arc is more about independence and forging healthy platonic relationships than about replacing men with women – but she’s still on the path to breaking out of comphet, which is rather a queer act regardless of whether she’s literally queer herself.
But I’m digressing.
We’ve seen how Will is visibly queer and struggles with the trauma of being abused for it, and how his closet is symbolized by the existence of a literal alternate dimension full of monsters.
But Mike is invisible, so his closet isn’t represented by a metaphor at all, but by something more meta than that – it’s etched out in the negative space formed by the narrative itself. Only the audience can see it, and then only if we’re paying attention, tracing the edges of the story and feeling out the shape it results in.
These two different approaches in depicting the struggle of being closeted remind me of drowning.
In films, drowning is a noisy and dramatic affair, easy to identify.
But in real life, drowning doesn’t look like what we think it does – it’s silent and resembles calm water play. All too often, drowning victims will quietly slip under and succumb helplessly to the depths…
…right under everyone’s noses.
have you ever loved a lyric so much that when you hear it feels like your heart is trying to burst out of your body
idea: bitty is the guy in the “bring the beat in” “anything for you Beyoncé” vine
everyone listen i'm having big brain thoughts:
what if, at the end of cinderella, GWEN married Princess Laura (the redhead who tries to approach robert about merging their two "blobs")
it would make sense it terms of character; they're both ambitious, politically minded women
And it would bring the story full circle, and make up for the horrific queer baiting disaster that was "Fab G"
basically THE PEOPLE WANT SAPPHIC GWEN
what’s your fanfic life like?
Slow burn, royalty, enemies to lovers
Fuck yeah
i will never cease to be fascinated by the kent/jack pre - overdose dynamic. loving someone while being jealous of them yet hating them because oh god he could be better than me needing them because they're the only person that makes you feel less alone and fighting with them because fuck him he doesnt know what real pressure is like and kissing them and finally feeling something and
ok so i was going through the entirety of omgcp tumblr, as one does, and i came across this post, which mentions a teen goalie in connecticut who wrote a letter to bitty
and being the check please hoe that i am, i immediately thought FANFIC
apologies if someone has done this already (also this is my first fic, so be nice!)
Hi, Eric!
My name is Jackson. I’m from Westport, Connecticut. I just turned 17, on April 6th.
I play at our local club. We’re kinda shit, but I love it. I’m a goalie. I love the excitement, when someone is skating toward me and there's a moment after they shoot, when everyone holds their breath. Like I said, we’re pretty bad, so I don’t do much saving, but it’s still fun.
You guys are great, though. Frozen four is fucking sick.
My sister told me to write you this. Not like she’s forcing me, but she suggested it. I didn’t really know who you were until like a year ago. When you kissed that dude on center ice. Pretty ballsy.
She’s the one who showed me. It was a gif on twitter. I like hockey, don’t get me wrong, but I was playing Madden when the cup final was happening. The Islanders are my team, ok? I’m not watching any Falconers bullshit (no offense).
Anyway, I was destroying my best friend Noah in Madden when Lindsay busted into my room, and stuck her phone in my face. And there you were, sucking face with Jack Zimmermann on national television.
And the weirdest part was, I hadn’t even told her yet. I hadn’t really admitted it to myself. I guess she just knew, even before I did.

I just keep imagining some teen boy or girl, scrolling through Instagram and seeing Luke prokop's bravery and authenticity and realizing they can do whatever the fuck they want, no matter who they love
