Hunter Schafer & Zendaya as Jules and Rue – Euphoria (2019) 1.04 Shook Ones Pt. II

we need to talk more about the fandom experience of "I actually do like the idea of these two characters together and think it would have been an interesting direction for the show to have gone in, but unfortunately everyone who openly ships them is so exhaustingly unpleasant about it that it's barely even enjoyable to engage with the fandom at large anymore so the ship itself is now ruined for me"

i should’ve been your writer

#eleven #el ives #eleven hopper #el hopper #jane ives #jane hopper #mileven #stranger things finale #stranger things season 5 #stranger things s5 #stranger things #st5 #the duffers suck #the duffer brothers #the duffers are cowards

only taking away eleven’s happy ending isn’t a good look when you realise she is the only one out of the main group who was abused and tormented throughout their whole life. the realism excuse doesn’t work here when max gets to walk again, and hopper survived that explosion in s3.

"there was never a version of the story where eleven was hanging out with the gang at the end. for our characters to move on and for the story of hawkins and the upside down to come to a close, eleven had to go away."

this also implies that el was a burden to everybody else & for them to be happy, she has to die. it sends a gross message and with all the other fuck ups recently, i just think the duffers should never write an lgbtq+ character, an abuse victim OR a female character ever again. they clearly have no idea how to navigate that and what they did to el, kali, will, robin and vickie really makes that clear to me.

i’ll always love this show as i grew up with it… but i hope they never get to write complex storylines again 🤷‍♀️

edit: just found out they said they didn’t kill off max because she went through all that trauma and it would be “mean”… the duffer brothers truly never saw el as a human. they saw her as a machine
