If you go though and like all of these links without reblogging I’m putting rocks in your shoes
If I had a nickel for every time I consumed a science fiction narrative about a scientist who essentially unwillingly sacrifices himself for the greater good of Earth and human kind that's riddled with Christ allegories and dog characterization motifs, I would have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but like do I even need to finish this??
Also I think key to Steve's character (in at least seasons 1 and 2) is that "let's pretend everything is fine and that we're normal dumb teenagers" is in fact his legitimate attempt at problem solving. It's his response to his messed up parents. It's his response to Nancy's stress and worry in season 1. It's his response to the guilt over hiding Barb's death. It's his response to his stresses over college applications. It's his general approach to life.
It can come across (and Nancy does seem to interpret it this way) as not caring, but it's really more of Steve caring but feeling like there is nothing he can do about the problem, no way to fix it, so maybe the best course of action is just to ignore it and keep going like it's not there. Steve in his teenage boy wisdom is trying to offer the helpful solution of "hey what if we just stuffed all our bad feelings in a box?"
Driving through Ohio and I keep seeing these radio/cell towers disappearing into the fog. Camera can see them better than I do- that top bit was basically invisible
Adding that to the list of things that make Steve and Dustin go 'hell to the nope'
