Thinking about the Holmes story where a blind girl goes to him and is like "My fiancé is missing and he kept telling me the week leading up to his disappearance that he would always love me and come back for me,were anything to happen so I think he knew he was in trouble and I love him so much and I'm going to wait for him but I'd like to find him faster,ya know?" And Holmes figures out that it was this girl's parents to scam her out of money she was owed from an estate which she gave to them because she was still living at home,which she wouldn't be if she ever married,so her step father PRETENDED TO DATE HER for MONTHS to keep her from ever getting engaged to a real person and when Holmes finds out he confronts this man and this man is like "Well,you caught me! But it wasn't illegal:) so:)" and Holmes is like "No,but it was sickening and cruel and if she had a brother or good male friend he should post you up and whip you but she doesn't." And the man is like "No,she doesn't." And does the Victorian version of sticking his tongue out and Holmes is like "Well,I guess I'll do then!" And HE PULLS OUT HIS HUNTING WHIP.

"a person's bedroom is a reflection of their mind" except it's a huge picture of a buff dragon, the light shining out the the closet, the "one way" sign pointing to the closet, every light source being yellow, the blue and yellow filter over absolutely everything, and will byers' drawings on the wall

Is it better to speak or to die?

[bylerworld]

there's something seriously wrong with him like why can't he take his eyes off will 😭 he is so ridiculous

[mikewheelerisaqueerler]

remember when they tried to convince us this wasn't the most passionate look of love to ever decorate the human eye

[mikewheelerisaqueerler]

so you're telling me mike was reliving one of the worst traumas of his life in this moment and he didn't talk to a single soul about it

[xoxcrushedstars]

Lowkey ignoring that the duffers wrote the ending with fuckass reasoning and pretending it was all intentional I think Mikes ending can be seen as such a tragic reality of the time, like yes so many people were so scared and conformed out of fear and suffered so much and Mike represents that, not everyone made it out and so many people lost love to this fear (eg. byler) but also he’s 18.. 18 YEARS OLD we were given an open ending for him really, he has so much time to explore and grow and it is not the end for him he is SO young for all we know they got together at 19 or 20 like there is so much hope,

also I think it’s so crazy that the fear of ending up like mike made so many people come out and embrace their real selves like that’s such a beautiful effect of an otherwise iffy ending to
