It’s not because I was scared of you, I’ve never felt like that, ever. But I am scared that one day you’ll realize that you won’t need me anymore. And I thought if I said how I felt, it would somehow make that day hurt more. But the truth is, El, I don’t know how to live without you.

Get lost with the “mileven is a forced hetero narrative arc” rhetoric. They have literally been the center, the foundation, of this story from the beginning. And hating them wasn’t even trendy until like 2 years ago; they (and many of us) have been around since 2016. Nobody said you have to like it. The disappointment of a show not going the way you want, a ship you love not being canon is real - I get that. But there is a clear difference between not liking something and thinking you’ve somehow been wronged because you didn’t get your way.

I feel like my life started that day we found you in the woods. […] And I knew right then and there, in that moment, that I loved you. And I’ve loved you every day since.

[elshopper]

Yeah. I kinda stole your look, kid.

You know, if we actually do make it out of here, we deserve to celebrate, right?

Joyce’s reaction to Hopper talking about breadsticks and lasagna instead of how badly he wanted to fuck her is so funny to me

Are you ok?

I’m sorry but if b*ler doesn’t happen it’s not queerbait.

You can ship whenever you want.

You can headcanon whatever you want.

But you can’t confuse your headcanon with canon and then get mad that whatever you made up in your mind doesn’t happen.
