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.)

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.

I’m trans but I instantly transform into a self righteous cis guy as soon as a white woman says something about men as if they’re a monolith

Whenever I see discourse about representation in media, all I can think about is how I have never ever once expected to see myself in a character, and in fact spent most of my childhood unaware that I was supposed to be seeing myself in the characters of the books/movies I loved, because the idea of expecting someone to write a character that’s an agnostic half-Korean half-Jewish Eastern European sex-averse asexual girl is laughable at best

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

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.

Christmas as a cultural icon is starting to get really dystopian in a climate sense, december has historically been a time of year in which there would be snow in a significant portion of europe and north america, and the fact that its not even icy this time of year and all the christmas songs and decorations reference a time of year that will likely never exist in the same way again in my life time is so strange.
