when will successful shows realize that just because youve gained the budget to be able to go big does not mean you HAVE to go big. sometimes all you need is paint and christmas lights.

I love the fact that in so many fics it’s stated that mike reads Karen’s raunchy novels like that’s canon to me

lucas is funny as hell for side eyeing him like that for this. ok gay nerd. keep that shit to yourself

"google ai" "spotify ai dj" "ai assistant" "enhanced by ai" what if i just start beating people over the head with a rock

mourning period is over enjoy fanon stop being miserable

btw mike’s envisioned future for his sorcerer being “yeah you go to a gay bar and you flirt with men and you’re really good at it and one of the guys looks exactly like me” is killing me dead

i feel like mike would be really good at those dice stacking tricks and i feel like will would lose his shit every single time he saw it happening. he'd think it's really cool and hot and he'd feel the need to kiss the shit out of him every single time.

it still feels very unreal to me that we got miwi swingset flashback but no byler endgame. like i thought those 2 were a package deal

Not enough noise about Lucas’ pleading to keep Kate Bush playing despite the demos coming in. Not enough noise about his little anguished face in that moment. Not enough noise about them all deciding okay. for Max.

I think we should talk about how important it was for Max to be the one to convince Holly that she shouldn’t feel guilty for ‘just standing there’ when her mom got attacked by the demogorgon and when Vecna strangled Max.

One of the key elements of Max’s arc in season 4 was her complicated feelings about ‘just standing there’ when Billy died.

So her saying: “There was nothing that you could do in those moments” was just as much for herself as it was for Holly.

And I just think that was pretty neat

rip Jane Hopper you would’ve loved Lacy by Olivia Rodrigo

the last thing el said to hopper was “i’m not sara.” she gave him back her bracelet. she let him believe she was safe. she never said goodbye to the man who chose to be her father.

she never said goodbye to the mother who took her in when she had nothing, the woman who inducted her into her family with a haircut everyone made fun of but she treasured as her own.

she never said goodbye to the older brother who looked after her in an unfamiliar home, who drove blindly into the desert on the idea of hope that they would find her.

she never said goodbye to her best friend, the only girl who ever took the time to try to understand her, the only girl who wanted to help her learn who she was to herself, the girl whose life she refused to let end before its time.

she never said goodbye to the boys who found her in the woods, the boys who were scared of her at first but who became some of her most trusted friends in the world. the boys who saw her as, yes, a hero, but also as a girl, too.

she never said goodbye to her brother, her twin in everything but genetics, who saved her life as she saved his from the monster who destroyed both their childhoods. she never said goodbye to her real brother, the one who understood her to her core, the one who showed her that the monster was not the family she deserved.

she said goodbye to her sister, after a years-long separation, as she bled out in her arms.

the last thing el said before her final goodbye—to the first boy who ever showed her kindness, the boy who never quite understood her the way she wanted him to but who cared for her regardless—was “i love you.” and she never heard it back.

what if we kissed 🫣. and we were both lemons 🍋😳
