society if people discoursed abt characters being evil not because theyre obsessed with holding fictional people to arbitrary moral standards but because characters being evil is cool and interesting and sexy and tragic and thematically complex
Hello!! I hope you're doing well! I've been following for you quite a long time and one of my favorite series that you've done is People are Strange. I was just wondering if you have any plans to make another part?? I hope you have a good rest of your day/night 🫶
….would you believe me if I said I’ve got the Google doc open in another tab right now as we speak 👀
the solution to ‘seeing fanfiction tropes that bother you and seeing your favorite fictional characters being written in fanfiction in a way that upsets you’ is not ‘make posts insulting fanfic writers, complaining about xyz and saying fanfic writers don’t understand the characters’
the solution to ‘seeing fanfiction tropes that bother you and seeing your favorite fictional characters being written in fanfiction in a way that upsets you’ is ‘write the fics you want to read. yes, you. you write those fics you want to read yourself, instead of complaining about something other people write, as hobbies, for themselves and they’re just kind enough to share them with the world for free’
I’ve been feeling insane for all of stranger things 5 because of Vickie seeming off and I finally realized that it’s because there was also a Vickie in season 2 and the duffers just forgot they already named a character that
Like yeah. Two people can have the same name. That’s very realistic. But doing nothing to acknowledge/distinguish them from each other/turn it into a bit like the Ashleys in Recess just makes it feel like they forgot, just like they forgot will’s birthday like five times
If the writers weren't glaringly racist, I’m just thinking about how it would’ve made so much more sense for Erica to have Holly’s plot.
We've known her since season 2 and would have been far more invested in her than in Holly, who we knew nothing about going into season 5. They wouldn't have had to retcon her age *cough*, as she would have been around 12 years old in '87, same as Will when he was taken. She would have had a future-sister-in-law dynamic with Max in Camazotz. She could have relayed so much information to Max about what's been going on while she was gone. We could have seen her nerd out about A Wrinkle in Time and science (which is canonically her favourite subject). We could have seen actual depth added to her character and given an active, emotional storyline to Lucas, who would have been hellbent on finding her. It would have been so satisfying to see that dynamic since we're used to them bickering all the time; a real true-to-life example of the complexities of sibling love. It could have been so, so good.
I’ve been feeling insane this entire season because HOW OLD IS HOLLY SUPPOSED TO BE NOW
WAS SHE NOT AN INFANT LIKE FIVE YEARS AGO
