trinity santos is a study in fandom misogyny because they gave her all the characteristics fandoms usually salivate for in men, being gruff, quippy and misunderstood with a tragic backstory but a heart of gold beneath it all. they put all this into her AND let her be a lesbian. she's everything you could ever want in a character but she's not a man so half the fandom either hates her or constantly mischaracterizes her as petty, callous and aggressive while doing mental gymnastics to baby the male characters around her

[queermasculine]

pluribus spoilers ahead cause i need to tell someone that when vince gilligan was altering his concept to be about women instead of men i really really think that shouldve included manousos... not to take away from the actual lesbianism that occurs on the show but manousos the machorra very much shouldve been on that yuribus... imagine carol sturka having to pull out the cover of her book a second time when yet another tall woman with dark features shows up at her door, and this time the woman literally has a sword a machete on her hip. proud stubborn manousos who just braved 9000 kilometers of untold dangers just to speak to her. sexy butch manousos who is more like a genuine real-life raban than any alien hivemind could ever be like do you fucking get me do you understand

edit: drew her, art is in the reblogs

Literally what's the point

me jumpscare

who mike really saw.

[bunnixisan]

no because look at me and tell me that this is not the look of “ive been yearning for you all my life and I love you with all my heart” on BOTH OF THEIR FACES.

did they forget to tell finn and noah that mike and will “are just friends. best friends 😃”

[miwiheroes]

Currently going insane over the amount of imagery associated with Mike and closed doors and opening doors and closets over the years, and the final shot of the whole show being a closed door.

[caramelwhim]

so..! to recap !!!!

we don't know why will was taken specifically

hopper and joyce just happened to conveniently forget going to school with henry

the painting lie hasn't been addressed

we don't know why el recognized will in season 1 without having ever seen him before

we don't know who opened the door the night will was taken

mike and will's colors just HAPPEN to be blue and yellow and the cast, crew, and WRITERS THEMSELVES telling us to "pay attention to detail" was deadass just generational queerbait

after everything, mike STILL couldn't say i love you to eleven

patty newby is non-existent and creelby just happens to parallel byler for literally no reason 🩷

will was about to FORGIVE henry.

the duffers genuinely forgot their OWN MAIN CHARACTERS BIRTHDAY AND AGE MULTIPLE TIMES

the russian involvement in s3 and s4 was never explained so it was prob just capitalist propaganda except they don't want us to realize that so they gave jonathan an entire anti-capitalist film storyline for the sake of "screwing conformity" i guess

ohhh but! critiquing society???? fuck that! because they also didn't show us vickie in the epilogue at all, giving her and robin a completely ambiguous ending in which 90% of the fandom believe they broke up off-screen!!!!!!! A+ for representation !!!!!!

not only that, but will doesn't even have a CONFIRMED epilogue boyfriend. that is full well a cute lil headcanon that MIKE has for him.

terry ives, lonnie, enzo, max's mom, suzie, argyle, dr kay, the turnbow family, the school counselor with the clock necklace, and dr owens just vanished into thin air, ALONG WITH ALL THE DANGERS OF THE UPSIDE DOWN???? where were the demodogs, the demogorgons, the demobats????

max's letters were just completely insignificant and had no reason to be mentioned again i guess

november 6 just happened to be a funny coincidence

they ALSO happened to forget that nancy had a vision of mike being killed by vecna in s4 bc that boy wasn't even remotely in danger at all while every other wheeler was put through hell

dr brenner's obsession and fascination with the upside down and abyss stemming from how his father was involved in project rainbow was also not addressed

not to mention that the dude is literally horrendous at drawing animals but when it comes to the flipping hexcore he's da vinci

melvalds, the general store, just happens to sell milkshakes

will adores getting lost in the woods because that's such a fun activity for him

henry just gave holly her favorite song because he was feeling kind

they never actually defeated the mind flayer !!!! which is wonderful

we actually never find out whether or not will lost his powers

el's water tank in the upside down being completely full although there has literally NEVER been water in the upside down before

mike is somehow the only one who has ever understood el even though she was 10x happier with max. could they not have just admitted that they made the elmax reunion so incredibly lackluster because they refused to let ANY gay ships win regardless of how much chance they had of being canon?

the 'lovebirds' parallel between jonathan + steve and mike + eleven??? what was that even for

all the dick jokes, mike listening the a band called the BUTTHOLE SURFERS, the camera panning to mike 7000 times during will's coming out scene, mike not being able to touch will, all just happened to be fun coincidences

not only that, but the mike-will-eleven and nancy-jonathan-steve love triangles were resolved by none of the couples working out! wow.

they really just made us wait 3 whole years for something BEYOND mid.

[mioakem]

wills epilogue bf when he keeps waking up in the middle of the night screaming cause of nightmares and instead of trying to go back to sleep he keeps going to his best friends house and spends the night there and tells him “not to worry about mike”

bylers claim your tickets before the finale!!

confusion and memories: things aren't adding up in volume 2, and that is very much intentional

come along as i explain what the fuck is going on. everything is not what it seems:

vecna turns your own mind against you

going "cold turkey" from the "amount you were clearly on" could be causing confusion, paranoia, hallucinations...?

confused about what's happening, not sure what's real anymore, nothing is making sense

confusion, connections, a big puzzle piece missing

remembering places, memories coming back

and memories can't hurt you, they say?

but they can hurt you. because they can be used against you.

and what could the consequence of this be? vecna constructing the narrative. causing confusion:

because: remember where we were before vecna got into will's mind?

will has been receiving many signals from mike, to the point that he in vol1 and the beginning of vol2 stayed consistently determined to pursue him romantically - but suddenly it stopped, the signals stopped coming through. now, mike is barely even present at all, though he remains in will's periphery. as many have called it, mike has seemingly been "lobotomized". will has, as vickie put it, seemingly gone "cold turkey" from mike's signals.

but that's not the reality; the narrative has been messed with on purpose. we are confused and distraught, because will's perspective has shifted. and this happened because vecna got into will's head and misconstrued his memories of mike to hurt him. vecna is using will's love for mike against him - that is the last leverage he holds over will.

now mike needs to reach through to will. and stop him from slipping further away.

and if you dont believe me, read my analysis on how they already messed with the audience through will's perspective in season 3 here.

Mike, Escape From Camazotz: "Get to Max, I'll stay with Will"

We know season 2 Mike is back because he is also back to his classic delegating ways of "everyone else do something else while only I stay with Will" XD

[gayofthefae]

Platonic references to Elmike:

[then what happens?] "In my campaigns, usually what happens is the party..." - The Crawl

"Friends don't lie" - Escape From Camazotz

"He will kill Mike. Just like he killed my friends." - The Bridge

[bujomoss]

to cope with vol 2 anxiety i drew patty telling mike to get his act together

[wakeupthemembersofbylernation]

The way Tammy was a solid but seemingly self-contained backstory in S3, a funny easter egg/inside joke in S4, a mildly annoying source of debate sparked by an otherwise beautiful and deeply empowering speech in S5V1, and a source of genuine ragebait in S5V2
