Maybe the Duffers should've just written what they knew
Or gotten someone/listened to the advice given from the people who they were writing about
Like I would never write a trans character alone.
Not because I don't like trans people, but because I myself am not trans. I wouldn't be able to accurately depict what the trans experience is like.
If I were to write a trans character I would get advice from people I know who are trans, like my close friends. Not only that but I would LISTEN (which honestly may have been where the Duffers truly faltered) when those people critique my work.
Part of why I think the coming out scene somewhat worked is because Noah. Noah is a real gay man and his acting felt so genuine, because it was. But that was the best part, was his acting.
Meanwhile his straight writers put him in a room with 12 people and then didn't listen when Noah said that he didn't think the 'and me' thing would work.
Rick Riorden isn't gay (and if he is he's not public about it), however his books are filled with queer representation. I haven't read most of them, I lowkey stopped after the Heroes of Olympus series, but I do know that he has collaborated with a queer author Mark Oshiro to bring many of his queer stories to life.
If you are a straight writer/director/anything like that and you're writing queer stories, ask your queer actors or queer people you know for advice.
And then take that advice.
I started watching Stranger Things fairly recently, about two years ago I think. And while I haven't really grown up with the characters and the actors I still feel like I developed strong almost maternal feelings for The Party, specifically Dustin and Eleven/Jane. I really really love the show and how it showcased the outcasts, the nerds, and the freaks. Kids who are commonly forgotten in school, much like how I was. And lemme tell ya, I started bawling during Dustin's speech, when his mom was cheering along for him in the crowd. But I will say I'm a little disappointed? If that's the right word, about how we didn't really see Hopper's grieving for his daughter (in my opinion at least). I love all of these characters and their actors, and I honestly felt like part of a family while watching this show, and interacting with other fans of the show. It's all one big family of outcasts and I love it and all of you who are involved in this fandom. I'd love to hear and talk to some of you others on here if you're up for it!
Your favorite ship??
Very beautiful💖💖
