Since I've seen a few recently (I wrote this a while ago so that's not quite true anymore), is this a good time to say that I also had a role swap au (as in: El -> Will -> Mike -> El) in my wips for a few months now? I'm probably never gonna write it but I do love my ideas for it

i absolutely love bad romance, it's my favorite qsmp fanfic and i mean it!!! i love reading roier's povs and i feel like there's so little of it so i really feel spoiled with this one, his madness is ON POINT!!!!!
love the way you describe and write dialogues, even if it's not their mother language i STILL CAN SEE THEM SAYING THAT. i'm brazilian and idk, reading the dialogues feels pretty natural so i think you should be proud of it!
also. i'm so normal about the fact that cell thinks he has everything under control like, he has the capacity to just leave this poor maniac man behind if he needs to. but. he really doesn't know he can't and roier is just sooooo normal about him that every little interaction messes with his head like alejaoakKLSJAKEJALEDB MAN I DON'T KNOW, I LOVE THEIR DYNAMIC AND IN MY OPINION bad romance is the best fic in exploring both f!cell and c!roier
one thing that got me confused is when cell pointa at roier's shoulder and asks “it wasn't you, was it?”, when they're having dinner. indon't know if we're supposed to be confused or if i'm just dumb and i wanted to know kajeoajpsakle
ANYWAY SORRY FOR RAMBLING MAN IDK THIS IS EMBARRASSING but i get very excited about the things i really enjoy and i like your writing and works a lot so!!! thank's for the update 😳👍
So about the “It wasn’t you, was it?” it wasn’t supposed to be super clear because Roier was kinda going through sepsis atm and wasn’t able to like. Think. But it’s actually Cell thinking back to when Roier sliced his own neck open to try and get his attention in chapter two. Cell was gonna be pissed if this dude slowed their road trip down for that, but, luckily, it was just a gunshot wound. Yay?
Meanwhile with the dynamics, I kinda just looked at the twitter art that inspired me and I was like. Cute, but there’s no way it’d be that cute. Because I’ve seen three whole episodes of Fuga Impossível and I figured that Cell would 100% try and be on top of every single situation he’s put in, even this one, but, like he did with Pac and Mike, he’s severely underestimating Roier rn. Because Roier is literally so unstable that he’s completely unpredictable, and Cell is a very logical man. He can tell there’s something up with Roier, but, again, like with Pac and Mike, Cell’s ego is getting a bit ahead of him. He’s going through this huge emotional turmoil rn and Roier is completely oblivious because he’s decided they’re already engaged. He’s just waiting for the proposal. And if he doesn’t get one, then he’ll just make Cell give him one. He has nothing to lose except for Cell, and he’s never going to give him up. Ever.
…If that makes sense. Tbh this fic is a struggle to write sometimes because I haven’t really seen either Chafaland or Fuga Impossível and I don’t speak either Spanish or Portuguese, so I’m working entirely off of vibes. So I’m glad to see the dialogue is coming off okay? Lol
TLDR; there’s no shot fcell and croier would both be disgustingly horribly in love with each other at first sight, give it a couple of weeks

any characters specifically?? there's so many lol
ooo i was mainly thinking abt (what i call) the gang- Lucas, max, dustin, el, Mike, will etc- and possibly Nancy if that’s okay? im sorry if this is too much to ask of you and I hope you have a great day!!!!! :D
lucas
colour - green
deepest fears - ??? idk. assuming this is for a vecna fic or something, i guess play around with whatever's happened at this point in the timeline. seeing max die is a huge one, and all the "being violently targeted by insane white boys for daring to Exist While Black" is bound to have taken a toll on him (not that canon's acknowledged any of it, of course)
aesthetic - uh... basketballs. they look good on the aesthetic moodboard for him in my brain right now
max
colour - orange and/or rainbow. the first part might just be because i'm obsessed with red hair (hello, childhood obsession with the little mermaid and red-haired!paige from charmed), but max wears a LOT of rainbows
deepest fears - becoming like billy (continuing the cycle of violence) and that her friends (and mother) think she deserves the same fate as him (dying horribly and painfully via the upside down and traumatising someone as she does). season 4 was great for her :)
aesthetic - skateboards
dustin
colour - ???? my brain is saying blue but i have no idea. maybe someone in the notes knows?
deepest fears - probably a loss of control. he likes to Be Prepared and Have All The Knowledge. having no idea what's going on and being completely unprepared for any bad things that might pop up is the inverse of that
aesthetic - library books
el
colour - pink
deepest fears - that she's a monster
aesthetic - she doesn't really know who she is yet, so like... idk, some of those bright oufits she wore in season 3?? there were a LOT of hearts scattered around her bedroom in season 4, she seems to really like those <3
mike
colour - blue. including (but not limited to) a blue so deep that it looks black
deepest fears - being unwanted, being rejected for something he can't change about himself. in essence, that he's inherently unlovable
aesthetic - i went for a bike for my aesthetic mike wheeler playlist picture. wheels, wheeler. you get it
will
colour - yellow
deepest fears - oh god. i don't think about him enough for this. considering his two biggest breakdowns so far have been about losing mike, i guess that? the whole thing about being a freak, keeping parts of himself secret, being treated like this fragile little baby (when if anything being a survivor makes him the opposite). i'm not the right person to ask about will tbh
aesthetic - art, drawing, sketchbooks. dungeons and dragons, nintendo, wizard imagery
nancy
colour - purple/pink
deepest fears - maybe just watch her vecna vision sequence again? lol. she's mostly got survivor's guilt and blames herself for not saving barb. she's scared of that happening again, e.g. when she was the first to dive into the lake after steve, because she refuses to do nothing again like when barb got dragged into steve's pool yelling for nancy's help (which fred dying on her watch was an echo of)
aesthetic - my initial, instinctive thought is "girlboss" lol. guns, notebooks (re: investigative journalism). there's a wall of stuff in her room that el looks at in season 1 which might be helpful (i'm thinking of the little photostrip of nancy and barb messing around and laughing like el and max did in season 3)

I just re-watched season 1 of Stranger Things and here's the takeaway for me: whoever I was when I watched it in 2016 is not the girl you see before you. I have a wayyyy different interpretation of characters.
It may be a hindsight bias kind of thing. Like, I know the characters for their season 4 selves, so I have that lens on when re-watching BUT:
I judged Jonathan way too harshly. Yes, absolutely, it was creepy to take a photo of Nancy through the window. Yes, it was wrong. However, he took photos of everything. He was all messed up with grief and trauma. He knew it was a mistake and eventually took responsibility for that. Jonathan was (and is) the best brother. And son. I feel bad for whatever shit I talked about him lmao. Jonathan - I sincerely apologise. I forgot the nail baseball bat was a Jonathan invention too. Boy doesn't get enough credit.
I also misjudged Steve. Again - yes, he was an asshole when he broke the camera, but tbh, if I was full of teenage hormones and I found out someone took creepy pics I'd probably lose it at them too. The cinema graffiti absolutely was fucked, as was the alleyway fight. Like Jonathan, Steve realised he was in the wrong and definitely tried to make up for it. Importantly, he proactively tried to make up for. He went back and cleaned the graffiti. He went to Jonathan's to apologise. He was supportive of Nancy replacing the camera (headcanon: he paid for it). He's been a romantic from the get-go, which I love for him.
I can't believe I slept on how fucking rad Nancy has been from the start. Like. Ugh. I could have been in love with her from the start but no?
I'm also very disappointed in myself for forgetting Benny (RIP). Wish we knew you for longer, Benny. You're a good dude.
Scott Clarke... Do you think his shoulders hurt? From holding the whole show on them?
Hopper is less cool than I remember. Excited to see the character growth there.
All the 'season 1 Mike would want to fight season 4 Mike' are so true. He. jumped. off. that. cliff.
Other interesting things:
Will singing Should I Stay or Should I Go? in the upside down... did it keep him a little safer? Music has always been a grounding element...
It's so weird watching it all given what we know about how Vecna and the Hawkins Lab massacre etc. etc.
I wish every child had a mother like Joyce. I would die for Joyce.
And I'm onto season 2. (Edit: season 2 thoughts here.)
This has been a Stranger Things Rhi-watch (lol).

Harlem spoilers
I loved the finale SO MUCH omg like Quinn deciding to take time for herself is so unexpected of a storyline but so actually good for her? Like she has been dating nonstop since the pilot so I think a season 3 storyline where she’s by herself figuring herself out is so good.
Then Tye. OMG what a TWIST. Aimee being Zoe’s Mom???? OOH I’m excited
Not sure how I feel about Angie getting proposed because it is fast but also it does kinda work for a Angie tbh and we don’t know how much time has passed really they haven’t told us
Then Camille her finally finally buckling down and focusing in her career when she’s been all over the place career wise since season 1?? And Pruitt maybe deciding to fight for her to stay?????? My god.
THEN. THEN THE CLIFFHANGER OMG THE CLIFFHANGER. It’s gotta be Angie right? Her storyline is the only one that would work with a pregnancy! Quinn can’t find herself if she’s strapped to a baby daddy (also I think we would’ve heard if Grace’s husband was becoming a recurring? Like I know season 3 isn’t confirmed yet but I just feel like that would be something we would’ve heard about if they were planning on making him more than a cameo and they would’ve put more effort into Quinn and Keith’s relationship if that was the case) Then Camille this whole season has been about her and Ian and her eggs I don’t see them rehashing that. Then Tye obvi can’t be pregnant. So it’s GOTTA be Angie I feel.
Thank you for the spoiler warning!
I already spoke about Quinn in the previous ask and lol, the Aimee and Zoe thing is such a mess. I wonder if they'll try to have Aimee and Tye make a go of it but it'll be too weird in the ennd. The Angie proposal definitely feels early but I suppose there's no reason to not go ahead with an engagement if they're both ready, and they seem like they are.
Very happy to see Camille winning at work and making a decision about no kids and not feeling guilted because Ian does want them and she's cost him so much already, which, to be clear, she didn't make him do any of this, but she feels responsible all the same.
Now, the cliffhanger. Both you and the previous anon implied that it can't be Quinn because it'd disrupt her finding herself storyline but I don't know if the writers would choose storylines based on least disruption, in fact, I kind of think they'd go for max. :x
It's true that it'd fit so well with Angie's storyline, but that's why I wonder if it might not be her. Or if it is her, then Mike's not the father. There's no fun in things going smoothly, as we've seen with all the other romances. I doubt it's Tye, of course, though I suppose one can never rule that out, but we'll put it in the least likely category for now.
The thing is, unless this is the last season, a baby doesn't really fit the show's vibe, though I can see them being supportive through the season during a pregnancy and rushing to the hospital at the end of the season to all be there for the baby being born. But then how would another season go? Bringing a baby to their lunches or constantly looking for a babysitter? So I wonder if possibly they might go with an abortion storyline, in which case I could see that being Camille's very tough arc, knowing how much Ian wants kids and the improbability of getting another chance at a pregnancy vying with her career and simply being unsure about it all. It'd be another reason to keep Ian in the show, since Tyler Lepley seems a regular along with the main four ladies.
On the other hand, the show may not go with abortion and instead highlight the dangers to expecting Black parents through pregnancy, delivery, and after, in the American healthcare system. In that case, I could see it being Quinn after all. And the show might decide that it's not going to be pigeonholed as just friends drinking and hanging out all the time and slowly work in children.
The other thing to keep in mind is that while Angie's s3 would be filled with the engagement/wedding, Tye with this romantic mess, Camille possibly with her career (and maybe Jameson??), learning to be at peace with yourself is more a passive thing. So, if they're trying to plan s3 storylines, that might be how Quinn's goes.
On the other hand, that seems brutal for her, to go from depression to, well, an unwanted pregnancy, to put it brutally, to then what, an exhausted mother in s4? Plus, like you said, the thing with Keith was so weak, like a little placeholder relationship that only existed to not be significant.
Honestly, I've just spilled out all my thoughts and really have no idea which way they're leaning. It all comes down to the stories they want to tell.

Hi it's evillous AU anon again!! Now i've got time and it's not 11pm so I'm going to try and dump all my thoughts on it in your askbox >:D I started conceptualizing this while the election arc was still ongoing and something i've learned is that it's really difficult to make a complicated au of a story with characters that are constantly developing. several times i've assigned characters to one role only for the literal next day have a new plotline start that makes them fit a different role so much better and then i have to change everything around again. So this is 100% going to be outdated in like a week tops lmao. I've also taken a lot of liberties with things like who reincarnates into who and what order some events happen in, so it doesn't 100% fit the structure of either story. For reference i leaned toward making the relationships line up more with the QSMP storyline rather than evillous canon and its still heavily a WIP so things are going to be changed around a lot probably even while im writing this ask. I put a lot of thought into how the original sin arc would go in this au and there's a lot of details to it so to shorten it just a little bit i'll just explain that the federation serves as an overarching force/government/scientists thing throughout the entire story. they're conducting an experiment on the islanders where they're stuck in a cycle of reincarnation for 1000 years and their lives are going to be extensively documented to see what changes about them and how their society develops. The seven sins are something dropped into the world by the codes in order to mess with said experiment rather than being created by one person's soul like in the original story because tbh i hated that. I put ElQ in the role of Irina and Bad in the role of Elluka. I think they fit really well because I can then interpret The Song I Heard Somewhere as ElQ vowing revenge on Bad for assassinating him (in canon, at least. for AU purposes he kills all the other election candidates and wins) and Bad REALLY fits the role of the morally grey immortal whos creation is marked by a catastrophic event that destroys a whole civilization and they carry the guilt of that for their entire lives. As for the sinners themselves I haven't entirely figured them out yet? but for a couple of them i've got really detailed thoughts. For reference I also made it so each of them can reincarnate as many times as needed even if they've contracted with a sin before because I didn't want to remove characters from the story entirely. so: - Lust: I have no idea who i'm even going to begin to put into this role but the most likely candidate would be Pierre i think because of the whole bed thing? - Gluttony: I had Cellbit as this because of the whole cannibalism history thing he's got but other than that I hadn't really thought about it too much. I am sad to report however that the more BBH talks about eating living beings and inedible things he may fit better. it'd also be funny for the immortal assigned the task of gathering the sins to be the demon of gluttony itself. - Pride: tbh this one is pretty difficult to assign a role to because of how specific the original arc is and how it technically involves two characters. It's not something I could've put many characters in without really mischaracterizing them and I was thinking my best bet was probably Forever but then the happy pills happened and there's no way i could've not made him sloth. So my most recent idea was to change the pride story almost entirely and put Pac in the role? But more in the sense of 'two criminals are always fucking things up for the federation get a bit too cocky and have a warrant out for their arrest, Mike getting Pac to flee and as the feds are able to get at least one of them they're like "eh fuck it watching as your platonic soulmate dies is good enough torment for the other one."' but also idk. (1/2)
Ohhhh anon so sorry I forgot to check my inbox to reply to this BUT NOW I'M HERE AND AGH THIS SOUNDS AWESOME
First of all, I love Bad as Elluka (also i'm listening to survival ma, really sets the vibes I think) and also he is such a perfect choice for the demon of gluttony, like he would die by eating himself like Conchita (also who would be Carlos I wonder? Have no clue but someone gotta sing the best Kaito song ever made, drug of gold I love you so much)
And hum lust is a difficult one to pin down, especially cause like there is not many people I can see going the Duke Venomania route and having a fucking harem? Trying to remember who I saw being attacked by the lust mob more than once in the server and I think it was Bad (he really is Elluka hum, constantly finding sins left and right)
I think that Forever could fit well on pride actually, he is not like Rilliane was of course, but he is prideful in a way. Waiting to be the best president he can and not really accepting that sometimes his ways could be wrong.

I love your bi!Mike reading and analysis, but some of the things you said, I do not agree with them regarding how the writers intended some scenes.
I think Mike not hugging Will doesn't show his crush on Will. I think it was about their friendship falling apart because they both did not reach enough, which was addressed later on during their fight and making-up scene in the bedroom. And Mike is worried about losing El and Will at this point, so that is why he acts that way. He thinks El and Will found a new life and new friends.
I think Will did not actually intend to give the painting present as a romantic present, I think it was actually supposed to be a friendly gesture but then unintentionally when Mike started to talk about his worries and insecurities, Will decided to give that painting with romantic connotations. I also think Will was actually trying to move on from Mike after S3 and during S4 (which he failed, but I think will still try to move on 'by ripping the band-aid bc he doesn't think he has a chance at all).
As for the desert scene, Mike looking at Will didn't come off as him feeling weird due to his feelings for Will to be. It could be about Mike realizing he is no longer the most important guy in El’s life. She has a whole family now. In a way, it might be a freeing realization.
I think Mike doesn't know that he likes Will at this point. I think whatever he said in his monologue to El, he was telling the truth he believed.
What do you think?
Hellooo and thank you for the ask!
so, for some things you wrote I actually do agree with you in a way! I see your point for the hug but what I mean when I say it shows his crush on Will is that the trope of the half hug in this case has inherent romantic connotations because even if the character himself is not aware of his feelings yet, the writers know where the story is going to end and that the two characters are going to be a romantic couple
for example we use the hug between Ron and Hermione when they were super little, I don't think any of us thinks that Ron and Hermione had already a crush on each other in a way in which both of them were aware of it, but the trope is there to show romantic tension and "foreshadow" in a way imo ���
for the present I think I said the same thing from the start? I think the painting was not intended as him wanting to confess his feelings to Mike, Will was not ready for that in s4 but I do think that when he decided to bring it with him he did it because he felt the electricity between him and Mike in the cool cool scene (where I don't think Mike was trying to flirt consciously but same thing as the hug, it is written to be intimate and full of tension even if Mike is not trying to flirt on purpose — he would not cheat on El consciously) so Will felt that and he's in love with Mike so that gave him the courage to try to bring it with him and give it to him even if he was scared of confessing and was not planning on doing it tbh
Also all the mess with the shooting and the agent dying and then El is in danger and Will sees how worried for El Mike is and how Mike is talking about how he couldn't say something to her... that makes Will in the end just use his own feelings to try to help him and her because he loves them both so much
I think Will was trying to not show his romantic love after s3 but I also think he just couldn't do it and that also shows up in his painting or the fact that he feels bad because Mike hasn't called him in his perspective, I think that's what made Will stop calling Mike, like it was a mix of not trying to be clingy to Mike because he's in a relationship with his sister + being offended because he loves Mike and Mike told him that they would stay friends and then he doesn't call??? lol (but Mike did call in reality)
and that's part of the miscommunication trope! all of this has romantic connotation from a writing perspective in the end and that's the important thing :)
for the desert scene that's a cool interpretation!! I personally disagree, I think it is about Mike feeling confused because he doesn't feel in love with El and in the van had gay thoughts when Will was talking (lmaooo)
so Mike hugs her and then he sees Will and he thinks a passing thought of "I have feelings for him, I feel x when I look at him" and then he looked at El in his arms and that feeling went away, so he was mega ultra confused and conflicted for that moment but I think after that he just kinda wanted to ignore it because he's telling himself "What I feel for Will is only platonic, stop being weird" he wants to convince himself of that imo
I think Mike was definitely telling the truth to El and believes what he is saying, but I don't think Mike is in "true love" with her and they are not endgame because of how Mike acts in his relationship with her
I think Mike started to be kinda aware of his feelings for Will at the end of the season but he's not trying to pursue anything because of many reasons but he is starting to think about it more at the same time
obviously we have to remember that Mike is super scared of things changing in both his relationships with El and Will, he in a way wants to keep the status as they are now, he wants Will to be his best friend and El to be his girlfriend... that's why I think that the one breaking up with Mike will be El not him 💕

Why do I dislike Mike as a therapist? Hate is a strong word but I wanted to make it clear in my email to Danielle that I posted below with a whole speel about having a lower quality of care and having to out myself to providers as trans and a voice hearer, making it known to her that I feel unsafe, dehumanized, stigmatized and discriminated against yet I will stay with Mike bc of this bc I don't want to be discriminated against.... anyways I got that all out but it was an important entry.
Why do I dislike Mike?
1) do you really hear a voice or is it a narrative?
- we talked about it and he showed genuine human emotion and cried a little but nonetheless I don't want to see him bc of the question that's why I tried to replace him.
2) would you rather have a mood disorder (bipolar voice hearer/schizoaffective) or a personality disorder(schizotypal)? In relation to saying psychosis is not a stand alone thing.... fact is psychosis can be a stand alone thing 1000%. Look it up. I had to fight him on this with facts.
- we talked about it and said he wasn't trying to diagnosis me, either way it rubbed me the wrong way that I had to fight him about facts, it is factually psychosis can be a standalone thing and go away. It doesn't have to be schizophrenia or depression or something else.
3) he brings up his education at NYU constantly and acts like a big wig. He thinks he is a big wig and he challenges me with questions which I'll list below that blow my mind, and aggravate me constantly.
He actually thinks he is smarter than me. I'd say we are of equal intelligence tbh. He isn't stupid but he isn't emotionally intelligent that's factually and he actually acts like a big wig.
4) just going back to psychosis not being a standalone illness. He doesn't believe psychosis can just be psychosis......
5) he pushed and has continued to push antidepressants..... especially since getting psychosis.... BRO MY NEUROTRANSMITTERS ARE ALREADY ALL SORTS OF MESSED UP. And I'm trying to recover naturally from psychosis....
Why not throw in some random SSRI or whatever and see what it does??? Antidepressants aren't a fucking bandaid and I don't have depression....
I'm sick of this conversation. He keeps saying well ERP in conjunction to an antidepressant is the highest quality of care for someone with OCD. First off we aren't doing ERP right now but secondly even if we were, I don't want to take a fucking antidepressant.
WELL BROTHER I DON'T FUCKING WANT AN ANTIDEPRESSANT. I NEVER DID AND I ESPECIALLY DONT WANT ONE NOW THAT I HAVE PSYCHOSIS.
WE DONT EVEN UNDERSTAND HOW THE BRAIN WORKS AND WE NEVER TRULY WILL SO LETS LEAVE MY BRAIN ALONE IM ALREADY ON BENZODIAZEPINES JUST TO SLEEP AT NIGHT AND ID RATHER NOT BE BUT I CANT SLEEP WITHOUT THEM.
6) when I brought up how my quality of care is lower bc I won't take antipsychotics bc of the side effects, and I'm not being treated the same by medical providers bc I'm labeled as psychotic.
Aka they won't treat me. If they will they won't look at issues as separate. Such as insomnia. And Continuing to be referred out to Behavioral health where I'm going to be forced to take antipsychotics.
Mike actually asked me why wouldn't you just do antipsychotics..... well idiot:
1] Seizures
2] movement disorders
3] negative symptoms- aka all this functionality I currently have can come to a screeching fault
4] the voice doesn't typically go away I've asked and looked at research....
5] it lowers your life expectancy by 30%
6] it lowers dopamine all over your fucking brain rather than the appropriate pathway-talk about antidepressants being a bandaid and the brain not being fully understood, antipsychotics are way worse
7] when you look up can you recover from psychosis in Google searches- you actually see in the commonly asked questions can you recover from antipsychotics!!!!!
8] I brought up my extensive education on the topic as I studied it intensively in grad school
9] they actually lower your IQ
His response was why wouldn't you want a lower IQ?? STUPID PEOPLE ARE HAPPIER..... that may be true... but:
I responded well I mean I went to school for my masters in neuroscience... I have a 160k education I worked very hard on and I may not be using it but I like being intelligent... I like learning new things. I like being inquisitive and educated and may be one day I will beat psychosis and OCD and end up getting my PhD or using my current education and getting into research but either way I like being intelligent.
7) when we were having this conversation i said i wasn't psychotic just bc I have psychosis and he said having Psychosis means you're psychotic... and I was like not when you're in remission, when you are firmly gripped in reality and not delusional, not when you're socially and occupationally functional and the only symptom you have is an auditory hallucination that causes suffering but nonetheless doesn't prevent you from functioning, you're not psychotic.
He made me feel like I was once again defined as fucking psychotic just bc I hallucinate... my grip on reality and functionality and intelligence plays a role in whether I'm, "psychotic."
Gotta love how people label you. Erin doesn't see me as psychotic. She sees me as a functional, intelligent, and firmly gripped in reality person who suffers from broken d2 receptors.
8) I asked him if he could stop cutting me off so I could finish my stories cause I need to vent and everytime he cuts me off I have to answer his annoying question and then I have to backtrack to explain what I was explaining. I explained it nicely but nonetheless now he is "checking out." I can see it in his face.
9) When I reestablished Therapy with him and I lost track of time and missed our 6. He said 630. I showed up and he never did and he pretended he didn't receive my texts.
-This is all I can come up with now minus him always bringing up movies that's gotten a little better but he talked to me about Benadryl and the man in the hat. I didn't know what he was talking about but Benadryl can make you see stuff cause I guess it's a delirium... I mean I never had visual hallucination with psychosis. Other than numbers being a little different (50 followers would switch to 51 back and forth) and i had that one physical hallucination the Rosalyn post i thought Elise posted... but that was actually October 7th before I had psychosis. Nonetheless it scared me that it happened but that's the extent of my visuals. I don't have them anymore.
before psychosis I took benadryl every single night with weed and I slept but bringing up the man in the hat scared me.... like of course I worry that things will worsen despite them getting better.
-he really lacks emotional Intelligence. I don't hate him. I don't like him as a therapist but bc of Danielle I'm stuck with him...
-Do I think he is a bad person?
No. I just don't think he is emotionally intelligent enough to be my therapist. I think generally he is a decent human but not the right fit for me as a therapist. I'd drop him like a hot potato if Danielle would find a therapist who was accepting of trans people and someone who doesn't stigmatize voice hearers.

I was wondering how the squad flirts and shows interest in their crush? I can see Reiben going all out for someone he likes
Miller squad: how they show interest/flirts with their crush
Look at me writing for Miller and Horvath 🤭
John Miller: I think he becomes very protective of you, like not wanting them to take the most dangerous quest/way in a mission (kinda like he did with Horvath). He also definitely also help you with things more than the others in the squad, also praises you a lot like "You did so well" or "I'm so proud of you" etc.
Mike Horvath: Like Miller he becomes very protective, if anyone (*cough* Reiben *cough*) starts messing with you in some way he'll come running and punching. I think when he flirts he does it either out loud or quietly. No in between.
Daniel Jackson: Tbh everyone is protective but you know Jackson is kinda on a whole other level, probably would sacrifice himself for you. Anyways, He shows his interest in a sneaky kind of way. For example if you were stuck up on a high brick fence and can't come down, he would be like "need any help?" and when you say yes he'll casually grab you by the waist, put you down and whisper in your ear "your welcome, darling" nonchalanly and walk away like nothing happend but inside he would most likely panic tf out.
Richard Reiben: I agree with you, he DEFINITELY goes all out. Flirts with you every two seconds (it's almost annoying), cares deeply about his crush but he's probably afraid to show it because of getting redjected in somw way (idk). He also definitely touches you a lot (in a conceding way ofc) like picking you up and throwing you over his shoulder, pulling you onto his lap or having an arm or hand on you etc. Also, if someone else flirts or shows interest in you he would become a little bitter and kind of mean and overly sarcastic toward you for a couple of hours which makes you wonder why.
Irwin Wade: This sweetheart would most often be a bit shy around you, especially if you two aren't the only ones around but if you were he perhaps would gain a bit of confidence and flirt just a teeny tiny bit, even scoots a bit closer to you if you people are sitting down. Tries to touch your hand in a discreet way that doesn't make it obvious that you make him melt when you're around.
Stanley Mellish: I think he's a lot like Reiben, but maybeee a bit less intense as him but he's not discreet about it though and would a 100% tell you that you turn him on or some shit like that. Maybe not as "touchy" as Reiben but definitely likes to have you close or at least two meters away from him, because he's also scared to lose you.
Timothy Upham: Probably wouldn't flirt but would compliment you when he's got the chance. He follows you around like a curious puppy, always asking things either about the mission or about you. Perhaps once in a blue moon he'll try to flirt, it won't be in a sexy way though, most likely to stumble on his own words and trips on god knows what. It's cute though.
Adrian Caparzo: A mix of Horvath and Reiben but also a bit of Mellish. flirts with you all the time, very protective, touchy hands (in a conceding way again ofc) and compliments.

This meme is giving Reiben...
Anyways I hope you enjoyed my horrible imagination and spelling errors xx have a great day/night 🫶

I still think Vol2 sucks. I get that Duffers wanted us to ''feel the lost'' but feeling the loss and feeling the bad writing are different things.
Max's death was handled badly. I know she's going to come back probably but what I'm talking about is that her first escape from Vecna was good and then her death made no sense. Why El did bring her back to life but not really? I mean, she's not exactly there as well so what's the point? Why did they use the Dear Billy scene where they showed how Max overcame Vecna but killed her after?
Eddie's death is still trash. Heck, I don't want him to come back because I hate when characters come back again and again. But let's be real his death made no sense. I don't care about Eddie as a character that much but his death was badly written.
Jason's and Brenner's deaths were predictable so no comment on that (I also sincerely hope that they won't Brenner back again because dear god...)
Not gonna talk about the way they handled Will's character and basically tortured him and made Mike's character trash it's a fact that Melvin still sucks and Mike's dynamic with both El and Will are off. It's like he doesn't even know what he is doing anymore. Associating El with her superpowers and calling her a superhero while distancing her from 'humanity' and saying contradictory shit many times during the monologue (saying he loves her without her powers but then continues to capitalize on how great her powers are and how she is a superhero) saying his life started the day Will went missing, the whole monologue being prompted by Will and running off Will's feelings from the van. What was the purpose? Let's be real, this was trash for each character involved. Are we supposed to believe Mike is a decent person? Honestly, El and Will should escape from him ASAP. Mike just doesn't even know what he is doing anymore and I just don't understand how the Duffers are even going to fix this mess with Mike's character. I don't care about the romance, really. Even from a platonic perspective, it doesn't sound good for him. Was he just speaking at the heath of the moment? Was he truly telling the truth and believing in everything he said? Then that means he doesn't understand El and Will at all, Im sorry. Oblivious or not, still Mike is a bad character to me. Saying he didn't say he loved El because he was afraid she wouldn't need him made no sense. She was literally crying her eyes out when she was beginning Mike to say the words before. She clearly needed him there and wanted to hear the words. Mike didn't even flinch a bit and proceeded to gaslight her. Let's be real bro Mike's character cannot be fixed and the amount of justification is hilarious ATP.
Erica and Lucas getting hate-crimed basically sucked. That scene was hard to watch. Is the minority characters getting hatecrimed and tortured a theme now?
El's powers makes no sense to me tbh. It's like they're giving her random powers atp. How was she able to re-start Max's heart? Also her sacrifice actually meant nothing because Vecna still won and the Hawkins got destroyed so again, what was the point? The way they handled Max's character this volume is annoying. I get what they were trying to do but still it was sloppy.
Also, Robin and Vickie only talked for a couple of minutes and Vickie spent more time on kissing her now ex boyfriend than to talk to Robin. What was the point? To draw parallels to Will/Mike? Still shit writing imo. We didn't even get to see Robin happy properly.
Idk man things sucked hard tbh. It's like Vol2 was just there to create drama and cool stuff and shit instead of providing actual quality writing with substance. I'm done man lmao. I wish I've never watched this volume to begin with.
I do agree with a lot of what you said, tbh, but there are a few things I also disagree with so I'll try to break down my response by individual number because there's so much to go over here, lol.
I know Max's death was one of those things that had to happen, but it shouldn't have because it lessens the impact of her Dear Billy escape and that still pisses me off. I cannot even begin to explain how much that pissed me off because now every time I go back to that episode, I don't get the emotion from it that I used to because her escaping what she kept saying was her fate is what made the scene powerful. For her to have an amazing and moving escape like that only to die later takes so much away from it.
His death was fucking pointless, I agree. Next.
Absolutely, and the predictability of Vol 2 pissed me off even more with it.
I still think that was purposeful, and if it's not in 2 years and they really used Will just to build up Melvin, then that's fucking horrible and the backlash they'll receive for that will be huge. Using Will's feelings, even with as fucked up as that is, didn't even fix Melvin either. Nothing is resolved here, and Mike just used what Will told him in the van because he thinks they're El's feelings. Doesn't make it better, but it is what it is, I guess. They should've just ended Melvin in Vol 2, I still think, purposeful or not (as we'll see in 2 years), because it was already going that way and they've dragged this shitshow out for too long already.
Unfortunately seems to be a running theme at least this volume. It's not a good look.
That literally came out of fucking nowhere, and there's basically no limits now. If she can revive people, how is there going to be any future danger? Especially if she gets good at it later on? I don't know. I kind of hate that they basically made her Jesus, lol.
Really really hope they'll develop Robin and Vickie's story together more next season, because I absolutely agree. The parallels are one thing, but being all Vickie's kind of used for right now is pretty shit, ngl.
I still have my beef with Vol 2 as well, analysis aside. Some things make more sense now, but it still doesn't really make it any better to me. Not to mention the pacing of Vol 2 and the characters that were slightly out of character, and so many of the good moments were improvised. Not that there's anything wrong with improvisation and actors do have good ideas sometimes, but it made me feel like they still cared less about the writing of Vol 2 and rushed a lot of things.
