I’m going insane. I’m GOING INSANE.

This is how Mike and El react when Hop sorta catches them, right? This is them pretending to be innocent like they weren’t just making out. This is what they look like when Hop busts quite angrily through the door. Both holding comics that they’re seemingly pretending to read. 

So, later on after some break-up shenanigans, El and Max are hanging out, oh, in this same room. Being besties. Being gal pals. Enjoying each other’s company, falling over each other on the floor laughing. Very them.

And then. AND THEN.

They hear Hopper’s car pull up outside. We see them both whip their heads up in acknowledgement of this approaching noise. This potential interruption. 

And what does Hop find when he busts into El’s room again?

Same shit, but with a ginger this time.

I am not implying that Max and El were making out pre-Hop entrance. But WHYYY do we have this clear narrative and visual parallel between these scenes WHAT WAS THE REASON and why does Hop’s reaction read like a dad who just found out his kid is a lesbian and is “really cool” with it???

I know that Mike and El’s relationship is heavy with familial coding but why do El and Max keep paralleling the supposed “romantic” Elmike moments specifically? But high-key doing them better?? Why??? If not Elmax????

(To highlight that El’s relationship with Max is way healthier than her relationship with Mike? To demonstrate how Max is better for her? Yeah, that’s still comparing Max to El’s literal canonical boyfriend. I refuse to get off my bullshit. They cannot keep getting away with it.)

Don’t you hate it when you read a chat fanfic and one of the characters types EXACTLY the same way as a cousin of yours that it unnerves you so bad you drop the fic because all you can envision is your cousin saying that stuff and not the character?

Doesn’t help the fact that the character would type exactly like that irl so it’s not even mischaracterization, it’s just you who’s bothered by it

You can laugh at me and say I’m stupid I just wanted to vent

You know, one thing that’s been weird is because of how relatively new the DSMP is, and with it being the first media I’ve engaged in fandom with, now that I’ve ventured into other fandoms, it’s *weird* reading a fic and the realizing it was written in 2016.

Like WHAT. Then I remember that some of these movies came out in, like 2010.

So.

That’s a thing.

Bro, why are u depressed?

[posititties]

this low is taking so long and while it’s not getting to the point of active suicidal tendencies i feel like it’s getting to the point of numbness with the belief that my existence is bothering literally everyone around me

She called me wonderful today why the fuck did that make my heart go all warm what is the reason

[arynneva]

wait do people read first person stories and think they're the ones in the story???

Saw people talking about not liking first person, which is fair, but their reasoning was like "I would not do that" and I don't understand that mindset.

First person stories are still about a character. A character making their own decisions. First person isn't about you???? At least I thought it wasn't. What am I missing? I've always seen first person as just a more in-depth look into a character's mind and stricter POV. Not as a reader stand-in.

I also think that all the "um okay knives out & glass onion were good. Wrap it up now" posts are so funny. You're tripping if you think there's not going to be at least five Benoit Blanc films lol

Not socialist in a “I won’t have to work” type of way but socialist in a “I’ll still be working but I won’t be worried I won’t make the rent” type of way. In a “billions won’t be hoarded by one person” type of way. In a “janitors, fast-food workers, child care workers, preschool teachers, hotel clerks, personal care and home health aides, and grocery store cashiers, will live comfortably” type of way. In a “the sick and elderly will be cared for” type of way. In a “no child should work” type of way.
