I just wanted to say I reread the marriage game, and it’s still one of my favorite stories!!

Ooohh thank you so much, dear!!! 🥺🖤😍

[munsons-maiden]

Miss you, Kiki.

I miss you too, love 🥺🖤 And I promise I'll be back soon 🥺🖤

[munsons-maiden]

Miss you so much.

The ST5 trailer is out and they showed Eddie 😭

I miss you all so much as well, love! 🥺🖤

I saw the trailer and started sobbing, I still 100% believe Eddie will be back.

And I'm still here, I'm dealing with my mental health and some family issues but I'm not gone and I'll be back soon!! 🖤

I want you to remember:

The fascists hate you too and they just will pretend otherwise until after they've killed the rest of us, before they turn on you.

[nudityandnerdery]

Thanks to whoever tried, but I knew they'd never allow it.

[library-graffiti]

Let's do it the old fashioned way. Spread it far and wide.

[victusinveritas]

Reminder: you can't be the whole wall against stopping fascism by yourself. Nobody can. But you damn sure can be a brick.

[nudityandnerdery]

There's a lot of good comments and tags in the notes, but this one is very important, I feel like it deserves some emphasis.

Part of how authoritarianism works is telling you that you can't stop it. And you can't stop it by yourself. But it wants to stop the train of thought there and let you fall into despair.

You need to remember the next part: you don't have to stop it by yourself.

You're not alone. Take care of your community and let your community take care of you. Supporting each other is so vital.

To quote Haymitch Abernathy...Remember who the real enemy is.

[munsons-maiden]

Dealing with a horrible episode of migraines, I'll be back and answering asks and messages as soon as I can look at a screen again without wanting to claw my eyes out I miss you and I hope you're well 🖤

[munsons-maiden]

I'll be getting to my inbox tomorrow, it's been a busy few days 🖤

to expand on this, i also think kids should probably grow up without being told that engaging in common pleasurable activities is a sin against god

in fact i suspect that telling tiny vulnerable human beings they are morally obligated to forsake the needs and desires of the flesh, might, just possibly, interfere with healthy develo

[smegorl]

Please don't say religion when you mean Christianity. None of those are innate parts of religion.

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

so the language of the additions on this post was very consciously influenced by my experiences living in countries with laws and cultures dominated by Islam and Buddhism, respectively.

Yes I grew up in an oppressively Christian culture, but Western Christianity is not solely or even necessarily singularly oppressive, and is certainly not the only religious structure that leverages shame in a dangerous way. And we do the world at large a disservice by acting like other major global religious institutions are harmless simply because they aren't Christian. Religious trauma comes in many forms, foreign and familiar.

Every Eddie Munson scene 12/?

[munsons-maiden]

It's random, but do you consider Flight of Icarus canon? I don't know if you have posted about it. I haven't read the book, but I have read snippets of it on Tumblr. Since it was written by one of the show's writers, I'd consider it canon. I honestly haven't read any books about any of the show's characters, so I don't know what to think.

I think it's in that grey space where the lines between canon and not canon are blurring 🤔

I've read the all books apart from Dustin's (which I immediately put on my Christmas wishlist as soon as I learned it exists) and Hopper's, and all the novels except for Eddie's have been written by authors who got the og script for the season so the timelines are completely messed and all that but they all contain canon backstories in my opinion. Runaway Max gives us a lot of insight about the Mayfield-Hargrove household shedding even more light on why Billy is the way he is and why Max's relationship with him is the way it is etc and the same goes for all the other novels so even though they got some timeline things wrong and weren't written by the ST writers, I still consider them canon even though they officially aren't.

With Eddie's book, it feels the most canon of all. I know a lot of people are saying that he's ooc and not our Eddie in the book and that's true because he isn't supposed to - the novel shows us the backstory of how eighteen-years-old Eddie became our Eddie. (He's not mean or an asshole or anything in the book, he's a hurting, abused teenager who's never felt loved before and lives in a city where he's hated simply for being different. He has yet to find out who he wants to be, and to learn to love himself and I think that's portrayed in a great way).

So I do consider it canon because it makes sense, not because one of the ST writers wrote it, but it's just as valid to not consider it as canon 🥰
