Me, tears streaming down my face, sobbing, as I stare at the stars: it’s just so beautiful

The medieval peasant I went back in time to give a bag of Doritos to, concerned: what terrible and powerful sorcerers they must have in your age, to be able to veil the vault of heaven itself from view, as you say

Me, sniffling: I didn’t realize, I can’t, it’s so much, I, I… are the chips good, at least?

Medieval peasant, trying to make me feel better: they’re… magical, strange traveler

listen, as a fandom we've decided that Steve's favorite band is Tears for Fears, but I also need us to collectively consider Steve Harrington and Bruce Springsteen and also specifically Born in the USA. it came out in 1984, right when things started to go to shit for Steve. it's all about disillusionment with the American Dream and the government and the entire concept of authority, and also about masculinity and what that means, and about being downtrodden and not getting what you were promised, and also about desire (for sex, for love, for getting out of your hometown, for going back to your roots, for something more). it's pop rock but it's not; the sound is all good old fashioned mainstream rock 'n' roll but the message is about post-Vietnam America and the feeling that you're being tied down by the American flag. you can't tell me that Steve didn't find himself in that album as he fell from grace and realized there were things bigger and scarier than anything at Hawkins High. he hears himself in Born in the USA and Dancing in the Dark and I'm Going Down and No Surrender and Glory Days; he sees himself on that cover with the blue jeans and the white tee and the baseball cap in the back pocket with that casual, confident tilt of the hips. Born in the USA plays on the radio but it feels like Steve's album, like Springsteen wrote it just for him, because who understands Steve, the fallen king of Hawkins High, the boy with the nail-ridden baseball, bat but the boy from Jersey with a guitar and the desire to get the hell out of where he is?

tags from @kkpwnall Consider too that Bruce Springsteen kissed Clarence Clemons on stage repeatedlywhen such a thing was absolutely fucking SCANDALOUS.

Please imagine baby bisexual Steve going to a Springsteen show and seeing that after months of listening to Born in the USA on repeat.

[heybluechild]

yes yes thank you for these additions @kkpwnall @eddiemunsonsmiddlefingers !!

more photos of Bruce and Clarence kissing (from this twitter thread), because they’re lovely:

the top one is probably from the Born in the Usa tour in 1984-1985, and that’s what I like to imagine baby bi Steve would have seen. he might’ve gone to the Indianapolis dates in january of ‘85 and there he would’ve seen two men kissing onstage. two men who, even years later, described in no uncertain terms how much they love and admiration they shared for each other (Springsteen said Clemons’ death in 2011 was like “losing the rain”).

Steve’s his rock idol, the guy who filled his speakers during the lonely months of ‘84, kissed a guy onstage, repeatedly, at concert after concert, and not as a gimmick or to get a laugh—just because they loved each other so they kissed about it. that’s gotta cause some kind of shift in him.

also, just for reference, this is what springsteen looked like on the born in the usa tour:

who wouldn’t leave that show with some kind of revelation?

[kkpwnall]

exactly!! born in the usa, and bruce and clarence cannot be understated. thank you both for understanding what i was saying and adding this context and photos!!

MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU

May the 4th Be With You

[supertaliart]

Happy May the Fourth! I added a second page to this comic from last year!

[belovedblabber]

Happy May 4th to Leia Organa character of all time I think even now we don’t as a society have enough respect for her. 19 year old career politician in a illiberal fronting fascist state wherein she needs to keep up appearances of general compliance while also secretly working as a high ranking member of an underground resistance force. And she is 19. She should not even be at the club she should be killing it on a star college debate team but she’s a senator in a fascist space wizard run empire and she’s not only doing her best she’s kind of hitting it out of the park. Also her entire family and planet gets blown up like act one that also happened and everyone kind of just expected her to handle it. And she’s 19.

Anyway she would have been justified in going apeshit at any given time and I would have supported her fall to the darkside #istandwithleia

it's not just hasan. it's not just codepink. it's not just 1 or 2 influencers. it's a widespread issue that was repeated by SO many large influencers on the left, to the point where when I started blocking everybody on tiktok who spouted anti-voter bullshit, the list was easily 50+ accounts long (most of whom had about a million followers each, some of whom had way more). there were people directly telling other people not to vote in 2024 or else they were genocide supporters. you cannot act like that had zero impact on the outcome of the election. you cannot look at ONLY 3rd party voters and act like the vast majority of people didn't vote in the election. you literally do not have those numbers. you cannot know how many people abstained entirely due to that rhetoric. I lost so many friendships both online and offline arguing with people about this shit, because it was so widespread that it had convinced a lot of leftists that the moral thing to do was to not vote and let Trump get into office. to let the fascists takeover. that isn't one person. that isn't one influencer. I'm talking about something way more widespread and pretending that it didn't exist really just feels like people are trying to gaslight me right now, as if I didn't see millions upon millions of views and likes and comments from people cheering on this bullshit that has directly led to the current situation
