Oh hey, it’s 2026 and we’re still thinking about how zutara should have been canon.

the natural lifespan of a fandom is unlimited. when well tended a fandom can be functionally immortal. and yet everywhere you look you see newly bred fandoms withering and dying when they’re barely a year old. barely even six months old. fans are looking at their six month old fandoms and saying i think it’s on its last legs, should i euthanise it? when with the proper care that fandom could outlive them for decades. it’s sad. sad state of affairs we’re in.

Do you still believe in Byler endgame? I followed your blog since 2022 and i want to know your opinion :)

First of all, I want to say thank you for still being here! I took a HUGE hiatus because of grad school and my mental health, so it's nice to know some folks are still around from way back when :)

To answer your question, I 100% believe in Byler endgame still. If anything, I am more convinced after what we got from s5 vol1 than I was at the end of s4, and even then I never really had much doubt.

As I've mentioned in a couple other posts, I just don't see the narrative sense in having scenes like pipegate and the Mike Wheeler Lego Batman stare and the flashbacks being half about Mike happen after Robin's speech if we were meant to take that as Mike not reciprocating Will's feelings. I sincerely think that they are writing through more fakeouts and distortion, continuing the themes present in s4, but we are starting to uncover more truths.

The thing about Stranger Things is that actions have always mattered more than what is explicitly said. We are supposed to pick up on the emotional cues from character body language and shared looks. It very much reminds me how much both Robin and Eddie were pushing that Nancy was Steve's "true love," in a very similar way to Lucas telling Mike how he looked at/spoke to El was because Mike "loved" her. These characters out loud seem to be pushing a narrative, but if we examine Nancy's body language from season 5 especially, we see her discomfort with Steve after his love confession and we see much more closeness expressed with Jonathan, even though this is not the closest they have been historically. The same is reflected in El and Mike. In their rooftop heart-to-heart, there is visible space between them, meanwhile Mike is purposefully closing space between himself and Will in the field scene to the point where they are brushing elbows. If you were saying goodbye to your girlfriend whom you loved and were attracted to, wouldn't you be cradling her? Holding her? Crying with her?

Mike Wheeler may deeply care about El, but the only one we see him having romantic chemistry with and attraction to this season (or any season if I'm gonna go there) is Will.

The older I get the more I admire people who are earnestly, genuinely into whatever their thing is. I know it sounds like an annoying cliche but unless you're being cruel or hurtful there is really no need to be normal about things. The dude with the bad fake accent at the renaissance faire is having the time of his life. The people having photoshoots with their fashion dolls are loving it. The old lady with a yard unreasonably full of tacky ass lawn ornaments is having a blast, HOA be damned.

Don't waste your time being too cool to have fun, y'know?

reading book lovers by emily henry and beginning to fancast adam driver as charlie lastra…. anyone else? like it WORKS

[mistyiosea]

Hayden said Kylo Ren is his favorite sequel character… this makes me so happy & my heart so full… but, it also makes me even more upset that Anakin never appeared to Ben in the sequel trilogy

Ben needed his grandfather so badly… Anakin should’ve been there for him to tell him what the darkness has done to him & Padmé… Anakin would’ve understood Ben’s suffering, his sorrow, loneliness, & inner conflict better than anyone…. Anakin would’ve been the only one who could’ve helped him

we deserved to see Anakin & Ben together… & I’m sure Hayden & Adam would’ve loved filming a scene together… we were so robbed… I’m never not gonna be mad
