Welcome traveler. May I interest you in some shitposts?

This is a welcome post for anyone who wanders in here. I'm Daria.

  • I interact from @karabas-zhirobas.
  • @cyberbabka side blog for film aesthetic/screencaps
  • I post about my current obsessions: Stranger Things, Fringe, the X-files, classic horrors, movies from the 70s-80s-90s.
  • I watch and screencap A LOT of movies.
  • Once in a while I make magazine collages.

Featured posts (Stranger things, Gotham, collages) below:

"You're just being negative because everybody else is doing it. Getting on the hate train is so mainstream. It's not your show to critique. The Duffers ended it how they've always wanted. Just move on. I loved the finale. You just lack media literacy."

I just witnessed a conservative Trump supporter defend conformitygate without even realizing that it originated as a byler theory first and foremost

I've seen stranger things indeed

the quote is absolutely killing me lmfao like babe the day you met he was making a plan to send you to the psych ward

I'm not so angry anymore so I'm not planning on writing any posts (but we'll see)

However, I really hope future video essays on Youtube will cover the following topics:

  • Stranger Things: performative inclusion
  • When references become plagiarism
  • The death of critical thinking: Netflix second-screen strategy
  • How to tell, not show
  • Plotbaiting 101: building plot lines with no payoff
  • Style over substance: the loss of a promising narrative
  • Mike Wheeler: how the fandom reimagined a character the creators forgot about
  • Setting false expectations: how not to promote your work
  • Postmortem interviews: poking a corpse with the Duffer brothers
  • Mass psychosis or the writers’ impotence? A case of Stranger Things secret finale

so anyways. i really hope no one gives the duffer brothers the time of day after this.

no one watch that documentary.

no one watch any of their upcoming projects.

unfollow their socials.

give them no attention whatsoever.

they don’t deserve us. they don’t deserve our love, our time, our loyalty. not after all the bullshit they put us and their cast through.

not after sidelining their queer characters.

not after disrespecting all their female characters, especially their female poc characters.

not after writing the sloppiest slopfest the world has ever seen.

fuck you duffers. rot in hell.

the duffers calling bylers just "noise" that they have to tune out ----> bylers on twitter coming up with a theory based on the massive amounts of plot holes and conformity messaging in the finale that has become so large there are multiple news articles being written about its evidence and everybody's talking abt it online.

proud of us..????

The Duffers purposefully weaponized our analytical skills against us in order to queer bait us (while the straight ga didn't even notice , and the Duffers gaslit us in their post finale interviews ).

So I'm very proud of bylers using their analytical skills to point out: the production flaws, plot holes, pointless easter eggs, and how the show ironically ended in conformity. All while the bylers craft a more cohesive story than the Duffers by using easter-eggs, dialogue, parallels, and d&d lore mentioned within the show .

It's KARMA. It hits the Duffers in their egos: as the bylers tear their whole story a part and show to EVERYONE how poor of writers they truly are . And the conformity videos get millions of views (and the theory is reported in various magazines like Forbes). The Duffers were short-sighted since MOST theorists/analyzers in the fandom WERE bylers! A lot of us analyzed more than just byler (but the entire show)! We're not just noise they can tune out . Even if the bylers are wrong-the Duffers are the ones who look bad in the long run . And I think that's beautiful.

The scariest thing in Stranger Things wasn’t the demodogs, Vecna, or the unstable reality. It was the women lying unconscious in hospital beds, forced to carry pregnancies to term by the government even if it killed them.
