when maya put will and mike together under “cutest couple that never was,” the room didn’t just have a reaction, it erupted. full body applause, actual screams, that instinctive swell of noise you only get when an audience feels like they’ve just had something they already believed quietly confirmed.
that kind of reaction isn’t random. you don’t get that level of visceral, immediate response unless the general audience has already internalised the pairing as narratively plausible. they saw those two faces side by side and their brains went, “oh. yeah. that tracks”.
“And she’s been so tired lately, so even though I DO trust her, I started looking through some things. And you know what? Robert Nash Han, I swear, I’d be able to trust her more, but every time I look there IS something to find. Eva, her hiding her desire to go to med school, not telling me she was thinking of turning down the captainship, and now this? I just saved her from space, did your parents show you some of that? Oh, good for them on trying to limit screentime, we’re trying to do that with Mara and Denny. Anyway, I just got her out of space, she trusted me to do that, but yet not with her health? And she didn’t tell your dad, *I* had to. And we were both so worried and mad and I just…I don’t know, I love her, but I need her to trust me back, to take care of herself, you know? We’re a team, and I’d like to feel like she understands that. Oh, and your dad fired her, so I expect he’ll be your next appointment. Which, actually reminds me, can I reschedule for Hen’s appointment tomorrow? Yeah, she’s still in the hospital now so it might be a tight squeeze trying to get here, if she gets released. Oh, yeah, of course I’ll talk to your mother about it. Thanks.”
So the guy ate tacos right before going to town with Buck?
more than anything conformity gate is like. the tumblrina’s final revenge. “just noise” huh? okay fuck it *mobilizes the entire internet into calling out the 10,000 plot inconsistencies and production errors you left in your $400million slop finale*
If I was the duffers I would never write again.. how bad do you have to mess up to convince almost an entire fandom that the ending you wrote was fake and you’re going to release the real one??? 😭🙏
