[swaying-seashoress]

its actually embarassing how badly ive let the finale impact me

[swaying-seashoress]

Nevermind I watched it edits i feel better now

[swaying-seashoress]

its actually embarassing how badly ive let the finale impact me

[swaying-seashoress]

eleven's death has impacted me so badly no one understands

[swaying-seashoress]

I have soooo many issues with the epilogue omg 😭

first of all, Nancy would NEVER drop out of school? That seemed really out of character for her in my opinion

Secondly, where the FUCK was vickie??? it seemed very heavily implied that she and robin broke up and like... why would you break up your ONLY cannon queer couple??

Thirdly, during the dnd scene where mike was talking about their futures, i didn't like how for lumax literally ALL mike said was "they're a couple, they go on dates" like thats great and all, but couldn't we have gotten more about them? lucas and max are so much more then their relationship and I wish they were both explored more as individual characters in that scene.

Next, also in the scene where mike is talking about the party's futures. WHAT was wills he would NOT fucking do that. I highly doubt will would be going around bars considering yk... his dad was an alcoholic? and also could they not have thought of ANYTHING else relating to his character other than the fact he was gay? AND THEY COULDNT EVEN GIVE HIM AN ACTUAL BF LIKE THATS GENUINELY THE LEAST THEY COULD'VE DONE?

finally el's whole ending pissed me the hell off and i plan to write another post about her cause my girl deserved better

[bylrlvr]

i’ve played these games before

[thewisewill80sbyers]

Making a lesbian character say weird ooc dick jokes constantly

Appropriating the rainbow symbol from queer culture only to proceed on doing torture porn on the gay character that they created and give him the first slow burn rejection in the world

Main gay character can't even kiss his fake epilogue boyfriend made up by his real future husband (after he gets fustigated 50 times)

They didn't even bother to cast an epilogue boyfriend actor with actual chemistry with Will so they don't even look like boyfriends

Only bisexual character in the show disappeared with no explanations after making her the focus of multiple romantic moments with Robin and was also introduced with zero purpose outside of being a romantic interest in the first place

Mike Wheeler's closet blown into pieces while they were well aware of Byler being the biggest ship in the show, and he doesn't even say I love you to his girlfriend who he treated like shit for no reason other than random drama

Using the feelings of a queer character to resolve the problem of a straight relationship that is doomed anyway in the finale, then diminishing the depth of queer love while propping love born by A TRAUMA BOND between Mike and El that suddenly always "understand each other" when they do not in the previous seasons multiple times... Then keeping the queerbait at maximum level until the last moment possible by never doing anything more than platonic between the straights until the finale

[swaying-seashoress]

so scared for the final episode!!

[swaying-seashoress]

I dont think i was scared enough

[swaying-seashoress]

rest in peace Kali, should've been Murray 😔

[swaying-seashoress]

Im actually really pissed at elevens ending because wtf do you mean she's never going to see any of her friends ever again? wdym her freaking dad thinks she's dead? and she's completely alone too??? like the absolute LEAST they could've done is have Kali go with her but noooo they had to kill her

[swaying-seashoress]

am i delusional for thinking jancy lowkey is still a thing based on the epilogue...

[swaying-seashoress]

that whole episode was sooo fucking anticlimactic

[miwibrainrot]

im crying beacuse during the mileven montage while el is saying goodbye both the clips they show from season 4 have will in fucking background

[swaying-seashoress]

okay so not only did they get rid of byler but also rovickie broke up? 😭

[swaying-seashoress]

well...

[swaying-seashoress]

so scared for the final episode!!
