We have lost the meaning of queerbait
Just because what you wanted didn't happen, doesn't mean it's queerbaiting. It is now being used an excuse when the ship you want didn't get together. Queerbaiting has to do with marketing.
Queerbait: A cookbook that you learned about from ads with pictures of people eating tasty looking soups and the author's social media posts about how soup lovers are going to love it, proves to have no soup recipes.
Not queerbait: A cookbook has no soup recipes. You assumed there would be some based on vibes and wishful thinking. No soups were ever advertised or promised.
Also not queerbait: A cookbook that was advertised as containing soup recipes has soup recipes but not for the types of soups you like.
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 really need to clown bc why are we getting so much harringrove content rn...the bts pics...the pins...i am suspicious
This is VERY strange, considering that they never gave steve and billy much thought as a duo…
Ok but tbh I still don't get why tf they put a whole scene in which dustin and steve shove the corpse of a demodog in a fridge and decide not to use it at all. Like what the hell was the purpose of them putting the demodog in the fridge if not to make it fall right out of it while billy and steve are fighting like c'mooooon, the entire fight takes place in the damn kitchen wdymmmmm. Like genuenly there was no purpose behind that scene plotwise but so much potential ugh
I don't actually care what the Duffers intend or whatever they're doing lol, my canon will always be that Steve has adhd and Robin is autistic.
Steve is said to be "dumb" and struggle with school, but we only have two concrete examples of his academic struggles to go off of. I can't remember the subject, but in Season 1 Nancy has some test to study for and Steve offers to help her and she replies with "you failed his class" and Steve corrects her by saying he got a C-. Anyway, our only other concrete example of Steve's academic performance is when Nancy is helping him with a poorly written essay and I want to leap through my screen every time I watch that scene because the problem she points out to him his structural. He jumps to making a metaphor and drawing symbolism between fighting in a war and basketball that he can't articulate in a way that she can follow.
Along with needing help organizing his thoughts Steve has always been very tactile and fidgety, but the really interesting thing for me each season since Robin's introduction has been the way they've directed certain shots and scenes to show us that these two characters match each other. Steve was much more relaxed and less preppy and buttoned up in season three, not just in costume but in physicality as well. He and Robin sprawl. They take up space. They're always touching or playing with something. And I just love the thought of Steve unconsciously finding someone he doesn't have to mask as much with. To the viewer looking in their energy is supposed to be silly and chaotic for laughs but anyone with a chaotic brain that doesn't march to the tune it's supposed to knows, when you find your people that's a beautiful thing and the way you can amp each other up is one of the best feelings in the world. Robin has niche interests, talks fast, and struggles with social cues. The show has gone out of its way now in both season 4 & season 5 to make these jokes about her mother pointing out her flaws, all of which are spectrum coded.
So yeah, this will always be my truth for them.
Happy Birthday @artemisthehuntress ! Please enjoy this combo of two already absolutely wild concepts. And @sightetsound this is technically all your fault.
Summary:
"Your rear tire blew out." The stranger's voice was low; he sounded authoritative but not pushy. "Do you know how to change it?"
"No," Steve replied. Embarrassment at his lack of knowledge forced him to add a quick but sincere: "I'm sorry."
The stranger flicked his helmet's visor up and Steve bit hard at the inside of his lip for entirely different reasons. There was something about the man's eyes. Something about the way they flashed like steel in the murky light that pulled Steve closer to the window before he'd even noticed he was moving.
OR
What if I turned the 2022 Thai BL "Love in the Air" into an 80s Stranger Things omegaverse au?
Updatedddddd.
I will not be participating in S5 or its shenanigans. Noah Schnapp said some really disgusting shit about Gaza and I will personally be holding him and Netflix accountable. Between the usual poor writing and now poor cast behavior, this show just makes me angry beyond the ability to enjoy the suspension of disbelief.

Joe saying that Billy could have been better in different circumstances. 🥹🥹🥹🥹
+ BONUS POINTS Charlie highlighting the weird rapey nature of the mindflayer.
Joe Keery is the OG Billy fan okay. I don't make the news I just scream about it sometimes.
