Ngl I don’t like that trope in fics where the party pokes fun at Mike for being “very obviously gay” and refusing to admit it before he’s come to terms with his sexuality. Genuinely nothing is scarier to a closeted person than being perceived as gay. If I were Mike I’d never look at another man again.

I always wait for Mike to blow up at them or for the insecurities they’ve instilled in him to come to a head, but it never happens. And I’m like “Oh. They were supposed to seem like GOOD friends then.”

i will forever be a firm believer that mike fell first, but Will was the first to figure out it was love

Eddie coming out to Steve as a show of trust but then takes every opportunity to assure him he’d absolutely never try anything with him. Until eventually Steve just snaps “okay I GET IT I’m disgusting to you we don’t have to keep talking about it”

see i just don't think mlm ships work with good luck babe because i think that song operates on both the axes of being gay but ALSO being a woman. "when you wake up next to him in the middle of the night / with your head in your hands you're nothing more than his wife" is such a harrowing line because women are socially only defined in their relations to men instead of as their own people especially after marriage (taking his last name, changing your prefix, the physical cost and emotional labor of having children...); women often become relegated to wives and mothers whereas men are afforded agency and personhood outside of their marriages. the line from the song doesn't work for mlm couples because men are very rarely nothing more than a woman's husband no matter how "suffocating" men make marriage seem

Post-finale Jane Byers–Hopper and Will Byers 💜💛

Yes, she’s alive, she’s with Kali, and Dr. Owens helped them to regulate all problems with the military/government of USA (the ones who knew) and now lives with them outside of USA (he was also the one to provide them with new ID’s).

And here are some of my personal headcanons about Jane in the future! I do like the idea that she shares her love to animals with her actress Millie 💜 I also love the headcanon that Will customise his eye patches <3

the way that they made the upside down not scary anymore is so shitty cause now wills trauma loses some of its meaning. the boy survived a week in the upside down, literal hell at the age of 12, in constant danger and now they stroll around this alternate dimension like it’s nothing. it’s not fucking fair.

I try not to intrude into the conformitygate space. For the most part, it's harmless theorizing. But there is one thing I can't ignore anymore.

There is no long con, no master plan, no deception. Stranger Things is over. The spinoff is nothing more than a cash grab. It's not part of some plot by the Duffers to fool the audience.

The Duffers aren't even involved anymore. They've moved on to their next projects (which I urge people to ignore). They aren't even working with Netflix anymore for these new projects. Netflix owns the rights to the Stranger Things property now. The Duffers do seem to have retained Executive Producer credits, likely as part of the deal that granted Netflix the rights, but it likely doesn't mean anything. They may technically have final say, but most likely in a "rubber stamp" sort of way.

There's no hidden message from the cast. Yes, they say some seemingly scripted things about the show, but that's all part of their contracts. They're not allowed to actually speak their minds, whether they liked the show or not. They can only say what they're told to say. Even if their contracts are up or don't cover that, they'd still be expected to say positive things for the sake of professionalism. Even when Noah said critical things, he was still very careful about how because he knows he can't explicitly say anything bad.

The social media and marketing teams aren't up to anything. They're just pushing the spinoff. The marketing has always been a bit fourth wall breaking. In the lead up to season 4, they pulled stunts where the Upside Down was creeping into the real world. It's all just an attempt at immersion since the show relied on the idea that there's this shadow reality trying to get into our world. Of course, the Duffers went and destroyed that mystique by revealing it was all, somehow, just a wormhole.

I'm sorry that it ended the way it did. I hated it, too. I also believed that it was all a fake out at first. But nobody would sink their own project and risk losing everything all for the sake of a swerve months later, and no investor would ever go in for that.

So, by all means, theorize. You come up with ideas that are leagues better than anything the Duffers proved they could manage. But, please, move on from the idea that it's all leading up to something. The Duffers don't deserve it.

may the fourth be with you ❤️

Rare aesthetic: going from being a blog that praises the writing and cinematography of Stranger Things to being a blog that deconstructs and criticizes everything wrong with Stranger Things

[archaicfauna]

The headcanon abt Robin never having a crush on Tammy Thompson and only saying that bc she didn’t want Steve to know she had a crush on Nancy Wheeler is actually so important to me and, honestly, I’m accepting that shit as canon
