The scariest thing in Stranger Things wasn’t the demodogs, Vecna, or the unstable reality. It was the women lying unconscious in hospital beds, forced to carry pregnancies to term by the government even if it killed them.

It got even scarier when our hero ensemble just blew them all up btw

the true finale

[new-ronantics]

in my head, el survives the finale, and i imagine she joins hopper and joyce in their move to montauk after the party graduates. they take the opportunity to turn it into a bit of a road trip for el, who is all too eager to see more of the world. they stop anywhere and everywhere she thinks is worth exploring, and by the time they’re in montauk she’s collected a million little keychains and knick-knacks and trinkets from each place they visited. soon she’s old and experienced enough to travel on her own and goes from place to place as she pleases—she can’t bring herself to stay in one place long, too excited for the next adventure.

whenever she feels homesick, she figures out which party member(s) she’s currently closest to, circles them on a map, and heads in their direction. she crashes in dustin’s dorm room at princeton and helps him study exotic matter (by doodling in the margins of his notes). she steals max away from lucas for a weekend of sleepovers and shopping sprees and long drives with the windows down and music blasting. she visits mike and will in whatever bustling city they end up in, and they argue about which pizza place to order from over a movie in their cramped, cozy apartment.

whenever her travels begin to wear her down and she feels like she needs to be home, she returns to montauk, where her bedroom will always be waiting for her. she watches soap operas with her parents and eats a warm, home-cooked meal. her hair is long enough to braid and her cheeks hurt from smiling so often and she is loved.

doing the "or me" "or me" "or me" "or me" scene and then doing a "i believe" "i believe" "i believe" "i believe" scene the next episode was crazy.

[candaceswonderland]

They filmed the last episode while the script was not even finished.

Paul Ditcher itself had to say 'it does not make any sence' while in a meeting for the finale.

Maya Hawk (Robin) and Jamie Campbell (Vecna) had to tell the directors about their own character's stories cuz they had no idea about anything.

Finn acted way better at the table read than in the actual scene.

There was supposed to be a demogorgon figth against the group in the abyss

They said that Eleven's trauma had to dissapear cuz they did not had time to talk about it and give it closure (they gave us 1:30:00 of epilogue btw)

There was 3 tabs (3 TO BE EXACT! as Mike said) of chatgpt in the writers room

This was supposed to clarify the ending but the only thing we end up realizing is how bad writers AND directors where in charge of this amazing series.

Everyone was pissed off at the end. Millie, Finn, Noah, Maya, Jamie, etc. Even THE Jimmy Fallon. I really can't belive this is how it actually ends

"mike was the first person to treat el with kindness and like a human being"

the way byler shippers are being treated in not only this fandom, but in OTHER fandoms now too, is actually insane.

i’m sorry, but if you are hating on bylers IN THIS POLITICAL CLIMATE you need to take a good look at yourself because you’re not giving ahaha they’re so cringe and delusional, you’re giving internalised homophobia and a superiority complex. you’re aiding and abetting the rise of homophobia in the fandom and fandom spaces in general.

fandom has been a SAFE SPACE for years. it may be this fandom and byler now, but i guarantee if this goes on, it could be yours next. this is not the time to be tearing down members of your own community.

god forbid people wanted a mainstream show to have representation that could’ve literally changed queer media and media in general. god forbid we want to come up with theories and noticed the obvious queer coding of mike wheeler, that mind you has persisted through production until literally the last episode.

[2xsin]

so this is probably a huge reach, but why is the cave shaped the same as the M on mike's D&D binder?

M marks the spot indeed

(SORRY ABOUT THE SHIT IMAGE QUALITY, I HAD TO TAKE A PIC OF THE SCREENCAP)

[scapegods]

How's it going to end?

[canithankyounow]

romantic byler or not, the fact that Mikes worst memory from when they were killing Vecna was El disappearing and not seeing Wills dead body being pulled out of the water is insane
