#because its pride

[rainingcantaloupes]

hey, so I did my typical 'binge watch a show that's already over' last weekend with Baby on Netflix, and all I wanted after was a juicy Brando x Fabio fanfic to sink my teeth into but couldn't find much out there in the universe. So I started writing it instead.

check it out sometime if you like to read and are also super late to this party. 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

Being drunk is weird because my thoughts are like: this burger is the best thing I’ve ever had to you know what? I don’t care what they do, Billy Hargrove is a closeted gay kid in the 80’s, and MAYBE the demogorgon is like the cousin to IT (babadook bf 4evar) and maybe the demogorgon just inhabits the bodies of all the little gay kids in Hawkins because the demogorgon is really just like, a really good house mother to sad gay kids???

A few years ago, my uncle was driving their van full of kids and somehow managed to take a wrong turn that landed them on the parade route for pride. Now, they're all catholic, but my aunt's like, super-aggressively catholic and he didn't want her to know what had happened. So he told the little kids it was a rainbows and candy parade, and everyone was partying because they were friends and loved each other. The funny thing is, he wasn't lying, and anyone in the area who saw what happened supported my uncle's choice and didn't try to make it about politics or the issues. They just gave the kids flowers and rainbows and candy. They all came home covered in rainbows and had a great time. So whenever my aunt starts spouting off anti-gay propaganda, I remember this story and giggle.
