Hiiii! If you're here, then you likely came from one of my side blogs. When I started writing on Tumblr, I made a side blog every time I started writing for a new fandom...which was fun at first but backfired because now I literally manage like a dozen blogs instead of just having everything on this blog :/

Nonetheless, all replies and comments on my side blogs will come from this blog! Below the cut I have linked all of my side blogs...and in the future, any new fandom that I start writing for will just be included on this blog :)

I appreciate the love and support as always <3 and maybe one day I can get everything transferred here HAHAHAHA.

Vol. 2 was….something. In my opinion, S4 started out strong and was obliterated by Vol. 2 — and I could go on and on and on about the bones I have to pick with it, but everybody else seems to have covered it. I have one main issue with this season, and it pretty much is the root of everybody’s complaints.

The writing has gotten careless.

The main part of Vol. 2 that bugged me so badly is how rushed it was. I get that the episodes were longer, meaning more time for action - but now we’re being catapulted into season 5 and the feeling is less than satisfactory.

Stranger Things as a whole was never intended to be a super long series with 10+ seasons and 15+ episodes per season. We knew this from at least season 2, and honestly I’m glad that hasn’t been designed to be dragged out until it’s sucked of all life. However, it feels like the Duffer bros are in such a rush to wrap the story up that the intensity and anticipation of the plot is suffering.

I found Vol. 2 (and honestly season 4 in general) to be so rushed and careless. There’s a difference between a fast paced plot because the story calls for it and a fast paced plot because the writers have gotten sloppy.

Eddie’s death was beyond disappointing. We all knew it was coming, and even as predictable as it was — it deserved better. Eddie deserved better, even as a minor/temporary character. The moment he shared with Dustin before his demise was sweet and heart tugging, but in no way was it was impactful as it should’ve been.

(Edit because I completely can’t believe I forgot to add this) I also found that Hopper and El’s reunion was completely anticlimactic. Yes, El never stopped believing that Hop was still out there somewhere — but after 8 months of grieving and POTENTIALLY dealing with the fact that he COULD’VE been dead just for them to have a half-assed reunion?

Honestly, Hopper and Joyce were the only fully enjoyable part of this season for me. The reunion was perfect and well-timed. The brief moment of passion was understandable and made sense. It wasn’t rushed, and it was long awaited.

A big thing that everyone is talking about is the whole “they forgot Will’s birthday” incident. The Duffer Bros have confirmed that was a mistake, and honestly I think that’s a mistake that’s understandable. Will’s birthday is mentioned once, and it was in a minor moment in an early season. If I were a screenwriter, I probably would’ve forgotten that detail too. In my opinion, that wasn’t laziness. That was just a detail that they had forgotten was mentioned and then flubbed it.

HOWEVER

Season 4 had plot holes and information/details that weren’t double checked (ex. Eddie’s age on his missing poster in the last episode is different than the age he’s confirmed to be in the first episode). Now THIS is a mistake that I DON’T think should be overlooked. It’s one thing to mess up a detail from seasons before, but it’s another to mess it up in the same season (and just because you’re too careless to go back and check).

These critiques are off the top of my head, and probably even a little nit-picky. These are personal opinions, so don’t take them too seriously!

A Moment Like This

Eddie Munson x GN! Reader

Warnings: None.

Word Count: 0.6k 

“But what if every day was like right now?”

“Mm. Stop moving so much, baby.” Eddie mumbled as he shifted to once again get comfortable.

Despite his order, there wasn’t an ounce of aggravation or irritability in his tone as he spoke to you. His hold around you never changed as he readjusted, his arms keeping you close and secure to his frame.

“Sorry.” You apologized, snuggling into him once he settled onto the mattress again. 

A genuine chuckle vibrated from his chest at your reply. His lips were upturned into a faint smile of amusement when he pressed them to your forehead to leave a tender kiss. His fingertips of his right hand danced gingerly up and down your back, caressing through the material of your t-shirt that you were still wearing from the night before. His left hand was spread over the warm skin of the thigh of your leg that was snug between both of his, his thumb tracing the same back and forth pattern.

Eddie was beyond content at this moment. He couldn’t imagine anything much better than spending a Saturday tangled up in bed with his favorite person with absolutely nothing to do on the agenda. 

The peaceful silence from before had returned. No words were shared between the two of you. The extra noise and chatter wasn’t necessary due to the drumming of the patterning rain on the roof of Eddie’s trailer. Between the rainfall and the rolling thunder off in the distance of Hawkins, conversation was just simply not needed. 

It wasn’t often that the two of you were granted a whole weekend together with no plans or responsibilities to be tethered to. Eddie was never hesitant to hide away from the world for a day or two, especially when he had you as company. It was the perfect way to recharge, and it was an added bonus that the dreary weather made the whole “non-productive weekend” experience much more guilt-free. 

Neither you nor Eddie had made any real effort to get out of bed. It wasn’t like either of you fancied braving the rainstorm outside, and truthfully the presence of one another was just so, so hard to walk away from. The silence didn’t last long, however, because Eddie Munson always had a lot to say.

“You know, I could stay here forever....if only you’d let me.” Eddie remarked, his voice rumbling in your ear.

“I’m afraid it’s just not possible. There’s just so much to do and not much time to do it,” You returned. “I’m just thankful for right now.”

“But what if every day was like right now?” He queried. 

He nudged your head gingerly with his to prompt you to look at him. When his eyes met yours, the beating of your heart sped to a much faster pace. After all this time, he still had such an intoxicating effect on you.

“Wouldn’t that be nice?” You giggled.

His chuckle matched your laugh, and he pressed another kiss to the center of your forehead. It really was an enticing thought. What would it really be like to spend every moment of your lives together like this? Realistically, you imagined that the two of you would get maddeningly bored and wouldn’t last more than  two or three days. 

Eddie was one for adventure, and the change of scenery would be a necessity for you. However, the thought of being in a constant state of bliss was more than intriguing. Life would be so much easier if you were blessed with no worries or cares in the world. You suppose that there would be no growth without struggle, but it was still an interesting thought. 

For now, you were more focused on soaking in every second of this moment right now. There was no telling when you would get a moment like this again, and you’d be a fool not to take advantage of it.

“Yeah. It would.”
