Autistic Asexual. She/Her. Stranger Things, The Witcher, other random stuff.

I apparently won't be visiting my lovely parents on my upcoming trip as they MADE OTHER PLANS despite knowing I was driving 1,100 miles to see them and do some backbreaking work for them. At least I'm going to have a great time Seeing Djo and Weird Al!

I'm getting back into fancy goldfish after oooh only 20 years or so. I've been trying my best to stock unconventionaly because once I open the door to that old special interest I'm going to spend so much GD money on fish 😂 Abyone want to guess what this pond was in a previous life?

I think Eddie is a bit stinky. He doesn't have access to good products. He's at least smelling like cheap hairspray, ciggies and weed and a hint of BO. Steve takes PAINS not to ever stink (dad trauma and persona) Once they get together though? I think Steve lets himself get a little grody sometimes.

So I'm officially old now. I just turned 40. I've been thinking there's a lot of Stranger Things fics that use terms that didn't exist until at least the 90s and they pop out immediately to me. I'm happy to offer my services to anyone who'd like me to check for them!

I made a list of minor non plotline things that I needed the finale to address for me to be happy with the ending. Half of them I thought were stupid because of course that would be covered. Not a single one of them came up at all.

What the fuck was that? There were no fucking stakes. I cry at fucking commercials and I got slightly misty twice when Eddie got callbacks. That's fucking it. Duffers what the actual fuck? Very funny give us the real season 5 now.

Does anyone else think Stranger Things is suddenly ass because of Netflix's stupid fucking merger that they had to suck Trump off for? If there were certain "woke" things that Netflix insisted be removed it could explain why the Duffers no longer want to work with Netflix.

Eddie would have been able to handle Dustin's grief if Steve died. He understood the need to rebel and he understood grief. Steve cannot handle it, he has never been able to cope well with other people's grief and he uses conformity to hide a lot of his flaws. He's not comfortable with any of it. 🧵

People misunderstanding Dustin make me so angry! He's a kid that cannot handle failure or even being thought to be wrong. His mentor figure died in his arms and made him promise to take over a role that he is failing at Hellfire club doesn't even exist. This crashout is well earned.

Losing my damn mind waiting for 8:00 while I overanalyze why they keep making fun of the Kas Eddie theory in press interviews. It's such a bad look to make fun of fans. If there's no Eddie at all I'm going to be genuinely upset with how this was handled.

That head tilt? This must have been so early, none of Eddie's costume is screen ready and Joe K was already so charmed. They're adorable, no wonder we ended up with Steddie. They have perfect natural chemistry.

Thinking about these two idiots and their clothing swap. Eddie's battle vest is protective and representative of his passion and dedication. Lending it shows his propensity for self sacrifice. Steve offering a yellow sweatshirt represents brightness, comfort and domesticity.

"Knowing what we know now puts his work in a different light and makes it reaaaaalllly gross." - Good. Approriate. Accurate. Correct. "Oh, shit, the signs were there the whole time!" - Bad. Debatable. People who DON'T rape also write about it sometimes. Incorrect.

I can only imagine knowing they were going to ruin Gaiman's work and persona for millions of fans was an extra layer of trauma for the women he abused. I'm so glad they were brave enough to say something. That's the behavior of a monster who was not going to stop. They likely saved dozens of others.
