Hi! This is my presentation post! I will update it from time to time! ^^

✴✳✴✳✴✳✴✳✴✳✴✴✳✴✳✴✳

— I am a teenager (between 15 and 19)!! Please don't ask me to send you money to help you with what you're going through, I will not be able to help you. It will only make me sad and uncomfortable, and make you lose time that you could use by asking the same thing to someone who can actually help you. I will most likely aweser your ask with a dot and appropriate #, only because I feel guilty when I don't. Also, I will block you, I'm sorry.

And I've just been asked that so just to be clear: No, I am not interested in any kind of "sugar relationship", thank you very much. (*traumatized crying*)

— Please do not interact with me if you are racist, homophobic, transphobic or a terf, if you willingly body shame people, if you are sexist, if you promote any kind of non con/illegal-relationship, if you are a nsfw-only account, or if you don't like to see the most random post at any time of the day. Once again, I will block you.

— I am genderfluid! You can use any pronounces while referring to me, but I do have a slight preference for they/them. :)

— Also, I mostly go by Eleana online, but I like to be called Len too. Or by my url idc. :3

— I do not have the energy to find the exact label for my sexuality, but I like to think of myself as queer and demi romantic! ^^

— I am mostly active in the following fandoms: The Goldfinch, Stranger Things, and Bungou Stray Dogs.

— I like to post some writing prompts that I make when a cool idea tickles my brain but my lazy ass can't bring itself to actually do something with it. :3

— Most of my posts/reposts are absolutely random and probably a bit confusing lol

✴✳✴✳✴✳✴✳✴✳✴✳✴✳✴✳✴

Here are some of my favorites ships in...

... Stranger Things

— Byler; Wiseheat; Miwi / Will x Mike (they need to be romantic and fucking cheesey.) (/hj)

— Jancy / Jonathan x Nancy (both platonic and romantic)

— Lumax / Lucas x Max (slight preference for romantic, but platonic is cute too)

— Elmax / Eleven x Max (both platonic and romantic)

— Elumax / Eleven and/x Lucas x Max (both platonic and romantic)

— Rokie / Robin x Vickie (preference for romantic)

— Ronance / Robin x Nancy (slight preference for platonic)

— Steddie / Steve x Eddie (both platonic and romantic)

— Duzie / Dustin x Suzie (both platonic and romantic)

— Stobin / Steve and Robin (ONLY PLATONIC!!! They're my favorite duo!! :D)

... The Goldfinch

— Boreo / Boris x Theo (romantic.)

— Pippadore / Pippa x Theo (only platonic.)

— Hobie x Welty (both platonic and romantic)

... Bungou Stray Dogs

— Soukoku / Dazai x Chuuya (both platonic and romantic)

— Shin Soukoku/ Atsushi x Ryūnosuke (also both platonic and romantic)

— Fyolaï / Fyodor x Nikolaï (both platonic and romantic too)

— Rampoe / Rampo x Poe (preference for romantic but platonic is cool too)

— Higugin / Higuchi x Gin (again, both platonic or romantic)

— Tachigin / Tachiara x Gin (platonic or romantic too)

— Kousano / Kouyou x Yosano (both platonic and romantic)

— KyouKenji / Kyoka x Kenji (both platonic and romantic)

— Atsulucy / Atsushi x Lucy (slight preference for platonic but romantic is cute too)

✴✳✴✳✴✳✴✳✴✳✴✳✴✳✴✳✴

Some random things about me! :D

— I absolutely loooove music. It doesn't have to be any specific kind of music, I could listen to pretty much anything and I'd be happy, because it's music.

— I am a cat person, and I'd like to adopt one or two when I'll have my own place!

— I never actually dated or really had a "crush" on anyone, but that doesn't stop me from being one of the biggest longing romantic person that I know!!

— I'm a fucking Drama Lord. >:)

— I am currently hyperfixing on Finn Wolfhard's acting. And by that, I mean that I discovered him by watching "The Goldfinch", and seeing more of his acting is the only reason why I watched "IT", "The Turning", and "Stranger Things" even thought I usually really hate horror/action shows.

— I am an extraverted introvert!

— People say I look mean or scary, but really I just have a "do-not-come-near-me-or-I'll-bite-your-head-off" resting face.

— My favorite love languages are physical touches and words of affirmation. :)

— My memory works in a really strange way: I can remember word by word some parts of books and their entire storyline when I've read them years ago, but it took me 7 years to know the birthdate of a friend of mine that I met when we where both three.

— I sometimes have an hyperfixation on a random thing for months and then suddenly loose any interest about it for literally no reason at all.

— And (you probably guessed that by now) I tend to overshare things about myself when people let me. (⁠•⁠ ⁠▽⁠ ⁠•⁠;⁠)

[londondziban]

No one asked but I'm bored so here are my ratings of popular Stranger Things ships! (kind of a long post).

Disclaimer: Ship who you wanna ship. This is just for fun :)

Byler: 100/10, I love my boys. No notes.

Lumax: Also a 100/10. They're just so!!!

Elmax: 9/10. I love them with my whole heart but I'm a Lumax shipper first and foremost.

Elumax: 100000/10. Literal perfection. Elmax AND Lumax (and Hopclair, depending on how you view the ship dynamic)? Literally what more could you want?

Duzie: 7/10. They're cute and I really like Suzie. I wish we could've seen more of them, maybe Suzie will come back with a bigger role next season.

Henderhop: 6/10. Typically I HC El as a lesbian but I actually like this pairing. Definitely not a ship I'd die on but I enjoy interacting with the fan content.

Henderclair: 6/10. Listen, I love their dynamic. If I didn't HC Dustin as the token straight, I'd probably rate them higher. Platonically? Literally everything to me. Romantically? I'm not opposed.

Byclair: 8/10. I also like them a lot but I'm a die-hard Byler shipper. I do enjoy interacting with the fan content though!

Wheelclair: 7/10. They're silly and I love them but this is a particular dynamic I prefer platonic. I do HC that Mike had a crush on Lucas when they were younger though.

Mileven: 1/10. I'm just not a fan. I'm giving them a one solely cuz I enjoyed them in season 1 when I first watched the show in middle school, but I'm definitely not a fan of this ship at all. Platonically though?? Amazing.

Jancy: 10/10. I love them. I'm praying every day that the Duffers didn't completely fuck them up and that they'll be endgame.

Ronance: 9/10. I like them, they're cute. I interact with a lot of their fan content. Let's go lesbians.

Rovickie/Rockie: 7/10. I just don't know enough about Vickie yet to know if them as endgame is what I'm rooting for, but from what we've seen they're cute.

Stonathan: 10/10. I love them and I'm so excited for their interactions in season 5! They're the enemies to lovers.

Jargyle: 9/10. Love me some stoner boyfriends. They've definitely kissed before at least once.

Stancy: -10000/10. BOOOOOOO 🍅🍅🍅. They are not right for each other. Steve deserves someone who loves him and Nancy deserves someone she loves.

Stoncy: 3/10. If it's in the way that Steve and Jonathan are dating and Jonathan and Nancy are dating with Nancy and Steve being platonic, then sure. But if it's all three dating, nah. Steve and Nancy just don't work imo.

Buckingham (Chrissy x Robin): 8/10. I think this is considered a rare pair but I think they're adorable and I love the fan content around them.

Hellcheer: 5/10. Not my favorite but I have no issues with this ship. I see the vision of them as best friends mainly.

Steddie: 5/10. They're not bad and I interact with some of their fan content (some of their tiktok edits go hard), but they're just kind of okay, you know?

Jopper: 10/10. I love them. Been a Jopper fan since day one. They're so endgame.

If there's any other ships you want to know my opinion on, let me know!

(All fun and games here, y'all. Ship whatever you want)

[ronanceautistic]

Okay you know what on that note? - here's my ranking of ship names. Literally nothing to do with the ship itself, just how the names sound to me.

Ronance - A+ - It's like romance but with an N, what else is there to say? I think the only possible point I could take from it is I, personally, never call her Nance but, like, Robin does in canon. So everything's okay.

Byclair - A - It's cute and I like it.

Jancy - A - I like it! I think it grew on me after I saw The Florida Project and Drawtectives because honestly? I kinda just like it as a regular ass name.

Cheerwheeler - A - Beautiful from an unbiased perspective and totally not from the guy that made it up.

Steddie - A - It's a very solid ship name I think even if I didn't know who it was I would probably guess it was two gay white boys. You did well.

Hellcheer - A - Tells you everything you need to know I mean what can I say.

Henclair - B+ - Another good Clair one.

Ednancy - B - It's a solid name and I don't have to do a lot of thinking to know who it is.

Henfield - B - I don't even know if this is the ship name for Max and Dustin because I rarely hear about the ship. But it works!

Byler - C+ - It's fine, it works, but considering Jonathan and Nancy could also technically go by the ship name I think the only thing that makes the name unique to Mike & Will is just because of how popular the ship is.

Rovickie - C+ - It works, I immediately can decipher who the people are, and it sounds good.

Wheelingham - C+ - it's okay I can't complain.

Elmax - C+ - same feeling as Lumax but I think it's slightly better

Lumax - C+ - It's good, it's solid, I have nothing against it. But it's also not amazing. Mayclair is better IMO (for some reason I'm a sucker for the names ending in Clair)

Mileven - C - It's fine. It works. It's not creative and it sounds average but like, that's okay!

Jopper - C - It's fine and there's not much room for improvement tbh.

Stancy - C - doesn't hit the same as Jancy but I can't think of a good alternative.

Jargyle - C - It sounds kinda garbled, I think it could be better. Don't ask me how.

Rockie - C - I don't know why people choose this one over Rovickie it's just the same name but worse.

Wheelclair - C - it's so similar to 'wheelchair' that my computer autocorrected it to wheelchair. That being said, it's hard to think of a good alternative for it.

Madwheeler - C - It's just a strange combo. I think if you're gonna go with nicknames its gotta be nickname + nickname. But, again, I think the only good alternative is Mayler and that's not even that good.

Buckingham - D - I think if it was a more popular ship it would be better, the way Byler is, but it takes me ten fucking years every single time to figure out who the two people are because I forget the last names of the obscure characters like Vickie, Chrissy, and Heather, and Robin is regularly shipped with all three.

Buckleway - D - ^ same problem as above but also at least Buckingham is creative with it.

Edancy - D - Literally just add the N after the D it's not that hard. Why does this one exist.

Duzie - D - Terrible but I can't think of something better.

Pompompistol - F - leave me alone there's literally two alts above this and you're Choosing to use this one?

[yes-17-15]

Rating Stranger Things Ships

Byler - 10/10, definitely my favorite M*leven - 0/10, yucky poopoo Jopper - 10/10, super pookie bear Rovickie - 4/10, I like it but Vickie has like 1 second of screen time so it's really hard to want them to be together Ronance - 0/10, Nancy is as straight as a ruler, sorry not sorry Jancy - 7/10, I don't really care for it Stancy - 0/10, not cool yucky Steddie - 9/10, I like it but it would never be canon Stonathan - 4/10, it's a nice concept but I personally just don't like it Harringrove - 0/10, what the fuck who thought of this JonEddie - 8/10, absolutely love this one Jargyle - 7/10, I'm sad we don't get to see more of them :( Lumax - 8/10, they're sooo cute Elmax - 7/10, I really like the concept but I just don't really ship it if that makes sense Elumax - 3/10, I just don't see El being into Lucas Bywheelclair - 4/10, I don't know what else to add Henclair - 1/10, I don't really see it, I think Dustin is straight Duzie - 6/10, cute but it's hard to ship since we don't see much of Suzie Murrlexi - 10/10, awww so cutie patootie

[elevenmayfieldz]

i just think that elmax is

perfection and we need to appreciate it !!! they are so <33333333333

[astreinomane]

what made you ship ronance? like, the moment that clicked for you?

and the same for elmax xD

Well, let's just say that, way long before I got into the show, I saw on Tumblr some gifs and photos of Elmax and Ronance, and I immediately thought:

"OMG, they're so fucking cute!!!!!!!!!!!"

And, when I actually caught up on the series and saw both couples on screen, these thoughts only intensified.

So yeah, that's how I began my career of Ronance-Elmax fanboy.

[messrsbyler]

who kisses who first (byler and elmax edition)?

okay, so... i need mike to kiss will first. i don't care if they both come closer at the same time, but testing the waters, seeing if the other will pull away or not. but mike is the one that first thinks "okay, fuck it" and goes for the kiss. i. just. need. it.

and for elmax, i need it to be el. it just would be so damn cute. just imagine max just talking about whatever, there's already tension between them and they are both blushing and well, we know el is sort of "new to this world" so she has less social constrictions holding her back. and idk el just staring at max, suddenly feeling she would really like to kiss her, and she just goes for it. a kiss. a small peck on the lips. and max is surprised and el is looking at her with her big brown eyes and they both start giggling. then max cups el's face and says "okay, come here" and they kiss again, not a peck this time. they both smile into the kiss.

for some reason i want byler's kiss to be more dramatic and charged with angst and need, and elmax i want it to be so cute and playful and just innocent and fun.

so, yeah. those are my headcanons i guess.

thank you for the ask!

[trobeds]

ronance hcs!! because im not waiting for someone to ask me <3

nance gives robin her music box after seeing her excitement at the tiny ballerina

robin and nancy get together while robins rambling about something new shes reading (and hyperfixating on) and shes just really really cute and nancy cant help herself when she pecks her on the lips and robin falls silent for a whole minute before rambling her ass off because wow that was amazing im going to explode ohmygodohmygodholyshitohmygod <3 (also featured in my elmax + ronance hcs)

nancy plays with robins rings

robin reads to nancy who finds it super comforting and thinks she could listen to her forever (MAYA HAWKES VOICE??? OMG?????) (from another hc post of mine)

robs is usually the big spoon when theyre cuddling and she wraps her arms and legs around nance to pull her closer

sometimes nance just sits down and starts ranting about some shit that went down at work or something thats stressing her out and robin will wrap her arms around her gf from behind and press kisses to her jaw and neck and watch as her tense muscles loosen and she caves in to the touch

they get an apartment together in boston

robin bites nancys arm or her shoulder or wherever to get her attention when she wants

neither of them are morning ppl so they have a lot of those "HOLY SHIT. WE OVERSLEPT." moments

they have an (unofficial but fuck that) autumn wedding and robin proposes with a toe ring but pinky promises to buy her a real ring when theyre allowed to really get married and then nancy can show off her wedding ring and tell ppl about her wife <3

steve makes a speech about how robin tells him everything about their life and how hes literally part of their relationship at this point

robin wears a suit and gets super fucking flustered when she sees nancy in her dress

robin rambles through her vows <3 nancy just falls a little more in love

GOD. THEYRE JUST THE CUTEST. IM SO. THEY ARE MY BLORBOS I WILL BITE THEIR HEADS OFF.

yeah anyways thats all i have for now hope u like them!! <3 send me hc requests in my inbox if u want im constantly bored

Bro i just finished season 3 and there’s too much mileven ;-;

I mean I do think they’re cute but NOT ROMANTICALLY. Platonic eleven is where its at.

It makes me lose hope lowkey but then I remember that season 4 exists and Mike Wheeler is NOT straight at all. As straight as a mfin circle. You cant tell me he wasn’t infatuated with Eddie CMON its confirmed he even grew his hair out to be like him 😭

I get scared sometimes tho 💀 like what if they don’t break up. But they def will. Honestly as long as Mileven breaks up PLZ

Mileven just doesn’t have that chemistry that Lumax and Jancy and even Elmax and Byler have. And they never will and its so OBVIOUS like you don’t even have to be a Byler to notice it. Bro even one of my teachers said Byler has so much more chemistry than Mileven and she thinks will and Mike should get together and I love her for that 😭 and shes like in her late 40s sooo

It’s not even delusional to think it’ll be canon like there’s stuff everywhere cuz everything is so intentional. Its so POSSIBLE and in my opinion they ARE endgame 100% idc you cant change my mind.

I mean the szn is really good and I like the aesthetics too like the MALL and the OUTFITS r all so cool. it’s fun I mean I love Stranger Things but I just hate how apart Will and Mike were the whole season and the way Mike ACTED like dude chill tf out 💀💀 and then Will was hardly ever shown again, this is like the last few episodes of the season.

But ofc we have the famous “its not my fault you dont like girls!” Mike, your internalized homophobia is showing 🤭

Its funny cuz I always LOVE the first 2-3 episodes of each season and then obviously it gets sad 😭 and hella action too but its still good BUT I HATE WHEN CHARACTERS DIE LIKE POOR ALEXAI WTF?? He deserved better and so did Bob obviously.

Nobody better die in season 5 istfg. Like all of the OG cast has to survive PLEASE LET THEM LIVE.

I also watched the first ep of season 4 and I love Chrissy but ofc, vecna put her out of her suffering, and unfortunately I think Will is also gonna get vecnad in szn 5 cuz my boy has been thru it ALL. When is he not being hurt in some way he deserves nothing but happiness.

Like whats gonna happen after Will confesses to Mike? I mean I still can’t believe it, it’s actually happening and the painting and all that and then he’s gonna be so sad cuz he’ll think Mike doesn’t feel the same and I have SO many fanfic ideas honestly

Also I adore Elmax SO MUCH I honestly wish they could be canon I just love them they’re so prefect for each other. Max is the #1 Mileven anti lmao. I keep remembering how she wanted to be friends with Mike in szn 2 but he was so rude to her like BRO WTF. I still like Lumax but like…consider Elumax.

But El deserves better and she does deserve to be on her own away from Mike.

Also Robin’s coming out scene will never not get me I LOVE HOW SUPPORTIVE STEVE IS i freaking love Steve I mean like honestly who doesn’t?

BUT CAN YOU BELIEVE STRANGER THINGS LITERALLY STRAIGHT BAITED EVERYONE WITH STOBIN? LMAOO

So is it rlly a reach to say Mileven was straight bait cuzzzz

I rlly love Robin and Vickie which r definitely ending up together (with Byler cuz they also kinda parallel each other) but I am very fond of Ronance I love it.

AND THEN JOPPER I ALSO LOVE THEM. Remember when they were like “theres nothing romantic between us we’re just friends.” And then the “we’re a team” and it reminded me so much of that one Byler scene in szn 4 which im pretty sure has been pointed out but yeah the PARALLELS.

And also Jancy had that “oh we’re just friends” moment before they got Murrayed like Jopper. Murray getting matchmaking all the Byers? PERIOD. He better finish that in season 5.

Also why do I lowkey ship Murray and Alexai like that wasn’t just me right? Fuck it

But yeah just some thoughts…

[inutaffy]

If m!leven was healthy (in which i compare cobra kai 5 to stranger things 3)

sam = el & miguel = mike

so in cobra kai, it's basically all about karate but also interpersonal relationships and things like bullying and trauma (and how people react or deal with the trauma)

similar to stranger things which is about supernatural things happening to people in a small town, it also deals with interpersonal relationships and trauma

so little backstory: miguel left for mexico at the end of season 4, and he came back at like season 5 episode ... 2 or 3 maybe. this put a strain on his relationship with sam

miguel's friends' hawk/eli and demitri tell him he needs to get an apology gift for sam

sound familiar ?

now okay, miguel is 17 and obviously has money compared to mike who is 13 and is apparently broke (ik karen give him an allowance he lying 🙄) but he could have gotten SOMETHING, anything honestly, lucas would have helped pay for a fucking bracelet in her fav color or something. anyway

here is the necklace miguel got. orginially miguel was like.. it's perfect (the octopus is a symbol for their relationship because he bought her a octopus on their first date) but he then said "but i'm probably not going to be able to afford it ..." then employee said "actually it's been reduced" (and though it was still expensive ... it was like 182) but he bought it for her! HE WAS ACCOMMODATED ? it's almost like the writers wanted him to show his affection for her? ??? at all costs???

and then the bear charm.... which was extremely expensive (definitely played up for comedy) i think i was like 300 something? correct me if i'm wrong, mike was sneered at after he gave a big smile to the employee, and stormed out of the store "i should have shoved that bear right up his-" and cut off. there's a distinct difference here. the bear doesn't really mean much to their relationship (but i think it's canon that el likes bears idk ?) or to mike actually, and he walks out of the store literallt empty handed....... nothing to show for lying to her..... or his feelings (a bit reductive bear w me . yes im making puns)

okay so, all of season 3 it was lucas giving mike advice. well miguel went to sensei lawrence for some advice

this entire time he's very drained and sad about him and his girlfriend maybe breaking up, "I have a feeling she's still mad at me and i want to fix it but we haven't spoken in awhile and honestly i'm not sure what i'm supposed to say." "i've been there. how about the truth?"

it's a very enlightening scene for miguel, that he just needs to be honest and see how it works out. due to his age hes more mature than mike is at the time, but mileven's entire relationship is used for jokes a lot of the time.

here he says "she knows i'm lying she KNOWS i'm LYING" (he was mostly lying because of hopper, but he doesn't say that until EPISODES later. how about the truth mike?) lucas insists on getting her a present etc etc they end up at the mall. this isn't played off as the cute teen montage with el and max. mike is frustrated and irritated like... the entire time. and lucas is so exasperated and will doesn't even know why he's here (mike doesn't acknowledge his existence unless will speaks up) the boys' montage is just cringe fail losers im so deadass😭 and elmax's is #LiveLaughLove. like i said. empty handed. nothing to show for his feelings.

Now i have to compare the break-ups! bro sam literally been fighting her demons 💀 anyways el broke up with mike to be more independent and find stuff she likes right? well sam broke up with miguel to work on herself and find herself as a person outside of karate. sort of similiar ??

the miguel and sam break up had very somber music and TEARS. DO YOU HEAR ME? T E A R S.

here he said he was SORRY. mike didn't apologize until like 2 episodes later...... intyways.... he says the truth and "i wasn't thinking about you. or us." and she said "miguel you don't need to explain-" blah blah. and then "i need a little break. to figure out who i am outside of all that (karate)" here she starts to tear up and miguel goes "when you say break what do you mean...? break from karate? break from me?" to which she replies: "i'm not okay right now-" IS CRYING. "and i don't think i will be until i figure this out for myself" which i think is a lot like el finding herself and style (a lot less teary eyed tho) and miguel says he understands and they HUG

and then he walks away... and starts to cry, and then drops the octopus necklace in her backyard because now they're no longer in a relationship blah blah it hurts ahhh also. losing that symbol of their relationship because they broke up

he didn't get to give it to her !!!

now if we look at mileven, which wasn't alone, which was actually for giggles, and there wasn't a wet eye in the house

there's 3 other people here (albeit know about the situation) who they are airing out their problems and arguments to rn. like she dumps him publically. right in front of a mall. in front of all his friends "i dump your ass😜" is so jarring from "i need a little break (voice crack)" anyways in this screenshot is when mike starts to KEEP LYING?? .... get you a man committed to the bit i guess. i mean he could have said right here "im sorry... hopper threatened me that if i didn't stay away from you well...." blah blah he's fucking insane. like i felt like he was just doing anything to justify it which makes it seem he didn't actually want to be around her? regardless of hopper.... which is .... odd considering how "crazy" he is about her (😉)

here she asks "you lie. why do you lie?" and he just doesn't say anything. like genuinely just stares at her dumbfounded not knowing what to say. SO IF IT WAS REALLY HOPPER THEN WHY ISNT HE SAYING THAT? HE DOESNT EVEN BRING IT UP UNTIL LIKE 2 EPISODES LATER (my timing so off it could be like an episode later tbh) anyways. there's nothing showing for the lies. literally. verbally and physically. he didn't get her anything and he also isn't providing her any answers.

and then she dumps him and he makes this face and "you're as cooolldd as ice" plays and she gets on the bus in her bright clothes and sunny weather and ice cream and hi fives max and she's happy about it!! girl does not gaf!!!! 😎 she's chillin fr.

then mike goes home, eats nacho cheese chips, and complains to lucas while. not doing anything. about it. literally also not caring that much. there's no crying. he "rushes" after he bus after the doors close and they're gone. and he looks confused more than anything but i think that scene was to draw attention to the grey clouds (foreshadowing for byler rain fight.+ grey clouds often symbolism for trouble coming blah blah i wanna be a english major <- fun fact abt me)

this breakup is very very very lighthearted! i giggle watching it! typical middle school behavior honestly 🙄 either way. mike is not torn up about it. el is not torn up about it. (but lucas is about him and max's breakup post season 3)

now let's talk about that first i love you!

sam found the necklace and brings it up after the big fight and everyone's getting literal medical treatment (wodkoajdosncosbxisjdosjdo) anyways. she asks if it's his and he said it was supposed to be a present for her but (she cuts him off) "i broke up with you before you could give it to me" and this sparks the conversation "so you weren't really fine with breaking up?" "well it's not what i wanted but you said you weren't okay. you needed some time and i just seemed like that was more important." she says thank you and it means a lot to her "of course........(extremely long pause but he has a loving glance).... i mean that's what you do when you love someone right?"

"you've never said that before." "well, i do" blah blah "i love you too" HETEROSEXUAL KISSING TW

a mutual kiss here. noticing how both their eyes are closed. 🧐 (this is at the end of the season)

for mike,

there are 5 other people around. he isn't saying it to her. she's not in the room. hes upset and trying to prove hes right and cares about el. (also in the same breath he tells a false statement which to me discredits anything he says (/j) "and i don't want her to die looking for the flayed when obviously they've vanished off the face of the earth" the flayed did not vanish! this is disproven!) i think he loves el and cares abt her just not romantically btw

when el walks in he has a face of regret, not embarrassment or flustered lol he just plays dumb and forcefully says "Nothing. Nothing!" lookijg down and away from her after she asks what's going on and then lucas says "just family stuff" <- lying for his bestie (true ride or die honestly)

and then... the notorious ending scene

he gives her the bear! #MIDLEVEN ENGAME ok im kidding. so here he gave her this bear because she was too short to reach it and she lost her powers (his needless worrying payed off huh) so he reassures her that her powers will come back (they don't. not on their own.) now i think this is different from the octopus because there's no emotional value to them, he didn't buy it, he wasn't giving her a childhood bear, im pretty sure that's will's bear anyways. the bear means nothing. it doesn't symbolize anything for their relationship.

and then they talk, cerebro, thanksgiving christmas, presents, (sorry that made me sound like a 7 yr old) and it's so awkward. they made up in the hospital but that was weird and awkward too. it's really shown they don't talk much due to lack of common interest and el not really caring for mike's interests and it really shows. intyways, el walks away and mike sorta stands there . in front of the open closet (he also sort of . half smiles. relieved? content? but then he shakes it off) and then she turns around and

he actually doesn't understand at first ("your heart") and then when he does he tries to play it off because it doesn't really look like he wants to talk about it... he doesn't seem to like being vulnerable with her! he looks down and away, and asks what he said exactly. and she kisses him, open closet, open eyes,

he doesn't move and it's very stiff and it's not MUTUAL.

and see the season doesn't END there? (duh they're not the main focus) it ends (on mikes part) with

even though miguel and sam are not the main focus (and also the season doesn't end on their kiss also) that's how their arc ends. that's the last scene. the midleven "make up" is overshadowed by byers + el moving away. and probable a realization on mikes part. mikes only gone to his mom for comfort 1 other time and it was because will's body was pulled from the river

OK IM DONE! THIS ACTUALLY JUST TURNED INTO MY SEASON 3 THOUGHTS KINDA! THANK YOU FOR LISTENING

[im-dead-still]

i'm not even sure who i ship in stranger things anymore dammit.

Like... obviously not Mileven. I hate mileven and i always have. It's basically been based off of some crush mike had on eleven when she couldn't even talk.

And i don't think i ship byler. Like... it's cute and all... and i wouldn't be upset if it happened... but mike is being such a dipshit about everything i don't think it's realistic tbh and i don't think he's mature enough for a relationship.

Jancy is just becoming a total fucking disaster. Like what the actual fuck jonathan don't "slo mo break up" with the girl you've been in love with for so many fucking years.

And like.... stancy.... like.... hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. idfk.

And then Elmax.... i like, but i think if i wasn't so gay i wouldn't actually see it... i think they're honestly better off as friends. They're more of a comfort ship for me lol. Like not realistic but if i'm sad i'm going to watch the first few episodes of season three on repeat.

I have only three ships i am completely sure about, which is Jopper, Lumax, and whatever the hell vickie and robin's ship name is. (Also btw i'm not mentioning Dustin and Suzie in here at all because i don't think we know suzie as a character enough. But i mean they're cute so sure i ship it).

And also btw. Just like. I hate any ship to do with eddie. Like steddie is ok, but when it comes to people shipping chrissie and eddie. Like come on. It's like you're pulling couples out of thin air. Personally eddie gives me aroace vibes, but even disregarding that i just think that chrissie and eddie is disgusting. They would've been adorable friends if chrissie ever survived, and their interaction in the forest was like, the best thing ever and it helped you see eddie's soft side, but the fact that people saw romance in that is lost on me. Eddie and steve is more believable, but i still don't ship it.

Also i feel like i'm forgetting someone but idrc.

sorry about the long post. haven't ranted about stranger things in months and had a brief (compared to my other rants) coversation with @lukiverse earlier and now i can't stop ranting i'm sorry i'll go to sleep now.

[withacapitalp]

Max for the question thing

Ah!!!! I love Max!!! And I'm finally home from the movies so I'm going to answer these!!!

favorite thing about them

I love how Max is still open. She tries so hard to be closed off and to pretend she doesn't have so much love, but she goes to Trick or Treat with them and she continues to talk with them and continues to hold her heart even if she knows that she's going to get hurt

least favorite thing about them

I think that my least favorite thing about her is.....OKAY THIS IS H A R D I think that I don't love her and Lucas in Season 3. I think that both of them are really messy to each other, but that's also bc they're middle schoolers in love and they're silly little messes

favorite line

"I survived before. I can survive again."

Jesus Christ Max's entire arc in season four is something that can be something so personal. Like augh not to get to Personal(tm) but like I know what it's like to have someone die and feel mixed about them dying. When your life gets better and you feel relief that they're gone, but you kind of hate yourself for that. Max being able to overcome and survive (FUCK THE DUFFERS FOR THAT STUPID ASS DECISION AT THE END BTW) like it just means so much to me

brOTP

Dustin and Max!!!!!!! Dustin and Max's friendship is just so so much fun they have such great chemistry. I also love Elmax as friends. Idk if it counts as a brOTP per say but Steve and Max???? Most epic siblings ever!!!! He was the only one of the older ones to get a letter!!!!!! He means so much to her and she means so much to him!!! I'm so!!!!

OTP

Lumax hands down hands DOWN. SEASON FOUR LUMAX????? Everything to me literally everythin. But also season 2 when they're in the bus talking and the way they open up to each other??? But like they just have this really beautiful thing where they circle each other over and over and can't stop.

nOTP

I don't know if I have any? At least nothing that's shipped heavily? Maybe Mike and Max? If people ship them anyways I'm not really into that

random headcanon

Max loves Spicy food so much and she makes Lucas take her to search for the spiciest food around them for dates. Lucas, who hates spicy food, begs to be allowed to just go to like McDonalds, but he also kind of loves the experience of getting to listen to her laugh at how much he can't handle the spice

unpopular opinion

I prefer Elmax as best friends. I think that they're really cute as gfs don't get me wrong, but so much of their season 3 arc was both of them needing a best friend and both of them wanting to have someone close to them who didn't have anything they wanted to 'get' in essence. I think like putting them in a romantic light takes away from that beautiful platonic love they have

song i associate with them

Running Up That Hill obvi obvi BUT I also love listening to Absolute Balance by Johnny Foreigner when I'm writing for her!

favorite picture of them

Okay so it's her and El BUT ITS THE BEST THEYRE SO HAPPY HERE THEYRE SO CUTE

Thank you for this ask!!! It's so much funnn
