#conformitygate
daily byler affirmations:
-no one writes slow burn rejections
-will's arc will only be complete if he gets the love he wants and deserves
-this season is about will
- finn and noah spent the most time with each other on set
- if byler doesn't happen it will be queerbaiting
Mike's gonna give Will his jacket in vol.2 bc Will lost his one trying to stop the pipe leaking
shut the fuck up?
(edit: im not saying this is gonna happen i'm just acknowledging that this would be SO cool if it did happen. it's a theory that ik has a low chance of happening. UNCLENCH YALL )
so i just realised something..
during the possession scene in 02x08, joyce, jonathan, and mike all manage to break will out (sort of) so he can use morse code. HOWEVER, throughout the show afterwards, everything they said was all broken.
“you know what march 22nd is? its your birthday.” - everyone forgot will’s birthday
“remember when we stayed up all night building castle byers?” - will destroyed it
“it was the best thing I’ve ever done.” - mike tells el meeting her is when his life started
i think this is so significant for season 5 as every time will has been in danger, love is what saves him. however, i don’t think it will work out this time. i think thats what the show has been building towards in seasons 3 and 4. vecna will definitely use this against him.
CALLING ALL WRITERS, ARTISTS, ANIMATORS, VOICE ACTORS, AND MUSICIANS!!!!
If you were disappointed by how Stranger Things ended, if you felt betrayed, queerbaited, confused, and just appalled by that monstrous let-down of a finale, I'm right there with you.
We watched this show to escape from the horrors of the real world, not to relive them in the cruelest, most malicious way possible.
Seeing how they ruined their own characters, who made many of us feel seen and represented, made a mockery of queer people, of their fans, many of whom remained devoted since day one, and turned a show that used to give us comfort into one that gave the general audience---the very ones it claimed to not be for---more fodder to hate and attack us, it's perfectly acceptable, if not expected, to be upset right now.
But the good thing is, these characters no longer belong to the DB now. Now, they belong to us---the ones who truly understood them in the first place. Now we are the ones who get to tell their story, the real story, since after all they made it so open for interpretation that literally anything is possible.
If you're interested, here's my proposal:
a multi-episode, creatives-driven collaboration to reimagine Stranger Things as a whole (for now the focus is on season 5 primarily) and make it what it was originally meant to be: a nostalgic tribute to the 80's and a tale of love and acceptance dedicated to fans who never got to experience that in their own childhoods
A diverse cast of characters with actually ACCURATE representation
A team of 15-20 animators, writers, VAs, etc. who work together on a single project and a community of people who love what the show was supposed to represent but were unsatisfied by the execution (and who just want to put their frustration into something meaningful)
The reimagined series will be posted in parts to a YouTube channel dedicated to the show
A chance to fix the flaws and plot holes in ST lore and world-building and make the ending we actually wanted to see (possessiongate/ conformitygate was such a missed opportunity)
The idea is still a work in progress, but I believe if we work together this could actually be pretty big! If you can't participate, that's okay! Please spread the word and share this post to reach more people so we can actually MAKE. THIS. HAPPEN. Let's show the DB how to do it the RIGHT way.
