S4 is so unserious. El has killed several people from S1 to S3, from US government agents to Russian soldiers and Mike sees one broken nose and it's all like "what did you do" BOY WHAT DO YOU THINK

BITCH HUMILIATED HER IN A PUBLIC SETTING, SHE SHOULD BE GLAD IT'S ONLY HER NOSE

If El still had her powers, she would have been thrown at a wall, maybe even through it. She has crushed several adult brains at once. Angela's whole posse would be dead in front of the high school, and Mike has the gall to act surprised? To be disappointed???

Justice for El, henderhop for life. At least Dustin was aware that she was crazy all the way in S1 and still hugged her.

imo it's very ironic that a show made for the marginalised kids and is very anti bullying has so many bullies who are marginalising the exact communities they claim to support.

what are ur thoughts on this?

i agree! people like them only watch the show, and “participate” in the fandom to bully and criticise, is because a lot of the cast are visually appealing. for them, it’s usually millie, finn, sadie, natalia, and joe keery.

their mindset is like this -> mlvn MUST ‘make love’ in s5 bc they need to be able to see fillee ~doing it too for their edits (and more) • they don’t want to see anything between joyce and hop bc they are hags (even though they are attractive people, especially winona) • st@ncy MUST be endgame bc they are pretty people and rich. impoverished jonathan who? • people who ship henderhop are LIARS and only claim to ship them so el doesn’t get in the way of byler (definitely nothing to do with being unable to see dustin/gaten in a relationship due to ableism. duzie don’t count, sorry. they don’t have a physical scene together so they’re easy to ship or disregard lol) • dirty and smelly trailer trash eddie munson is ugly and cringe because their fans are embarrassing the fandom (???) with their devil horns while being fat, ugly, poor, jobless, etc., just like their fav! but they (and non ST viewers) have warmed up to joseph quinn because he’s attractive and is making it in hollywood • and will! just like eddie, he is too obsessed with dnd, is chronically bitchless even though he canonically pulls girls without trying despite the fact he’s into men (and mike). like all the shitty CW shows they watch, will will die a very homophobic death or end up loveless and lonely like a f@g! homophobically. while mike and el get married in the village with the 3 waterfalls and have a son named willy in disgraced memory of some guy they knew once, idk. not to mention he’s portrayed by… drum roll pls… the zionist! gasp. imagine if byler happens and gamze’s precious baby finn has to put his lips on that (insert antisemitic and homophobic slur here) MAN.

it just doesn’t bear thinking about! it’ll be hellfire (heh) if things don’t go their way. they are normal, unlike us!!

conclusion: ST is a mid CW show with pretty actors and they watch it on a surface level to fulfil their flvn desires, with their fingers crossed that ugly will schnapp, wait no, noah byers?? gets pwned BIG TIME! and die horribly. it’s what he deserves for spoiling the El Show; they want to see el do her Scream and Save the Day thing again, while mike is dumbstruck by her powers and thus hero worship, due to his own feelings of inferiority; because of his dwindling mental health and being unable to admit that he feels something for his best friend but is lowkey aware of his attraction to men (eddie) and the fact that he felt like he died too when he saw will’s “body” in the quarry too corny? and steve… ah steve, we like steve! with his bouffant hair, and his outrageous levi’s clad ass. while getting beat half to death as a running gag. someone give him an MRI pls.

ps. it doesn’t matter what we watch the show for, but the people we’re discussing, i feel like they’re not getting it. which is fine ig. but that doesn’t excuse their behaviour in the fandom, they don’t even enjoy fandom and think we’re just delulu, breaking THEIR LAW if we ignore canon, whether it’s actually canon or not, lmao.

What are some of ur other favorite ST ships canon or not? 💕

Thanks for the question, anon 😍

OKAY SO Jancy is definitely my second favorite after Byler. I think that they bring the best out of each other. They grew so much together, especially Nancy, and I'm sure they're gonna overcome all their issues in s5 🥰 I'm gonna be devastated if this doesn't happen gdubgdbdh

Then it's Elmax 💖 and since I headcanon El as aroace, I like the idea of queer-platonic Elmax with romantic Lumax.

Also I feel like I need to mention platonic Madwheeler because I ADORE them like they're everything to me THEY'RE EVERYTHING TO ME and I love them. Queer-platonic Madwheeler also.

Then there are other pairings that I don't necessarily love or think about often, but that might have a cute or interesting dynamic, like Stonathan, Stoncy, Henderhop, Byclair, and Wheelclair.

[starsarefire824]

Heeey moot! Just woke up! Even though I'm late, I just wanted to say that you deserve to write whatever tf you want and I'm sorry some peeps were harassing you about The Pact. I don't think folks know how hard it is to not only write, but then to post it for others to see. So, for them to criticize you when it's just a fun fic that they can ignore or filter out (tags on ao3 are meant to be used geez) its wild to me. You're doing something very unique with the characters and including a lot of different subgroups of the queer community splendidly while keeping them flawed like real teens - all in 1 fic. As a demi ace myself, I was so happy to see you incorporate that in your fic respectively and a lot of my queer Sex Ed came from detailed, researched fics bc even though my parents and school system talked to me about sex, there was nothing for the queer kids, let alone ace kids to get guidance on. So, for fic readers/writers like me, using fics to explore sexuality was a godsend.

Can't help but also think it's the biphobia kicking in again, specifically for characters like Mike. No one has a problem hc Max as bi even though it seems like lumax is clearly endgame over elmax or elumax, but when it comes to Mike being bi it's like the world is ending despite it clearly being byler endgame. I personally ship all hcs of Mike's sexuality cuz only Robin and Will have been confirmed queer. Everyone else in ST to me is undisclosed until stated straight or queer. But again that's me.

Also love your poly rep cuz my sib is poly and so were some of my grandma's cousins from 1950s-now. So, again, all or most sexualities explored in fics is a must, regardless if you ship it. I've always been a polypartycule shipper and enjoy how you include all party members and mention Duzie sometimes cuz too many times I found fics/hcs excluding the fact Dustin has a stable relationship with Suzie in favor of just highlighting byler and elumax as the romantic ones of the party.

Sorry for the rant but I had to let it out. I hated scrolling through my feed and seeing that post you made of folks getting heated over fiction like you're gonna convince the Duffers to change the whole script. Anyways I hope my support is felt. This is still me typing in a sleep daze and yeah. I'll continue reading your work cuz I enjoy good writers first and foremost and omg lol you made it having some harrassers cuz the greatest books were on the banned book list. Not saying you deserve the irrational hate, but that's how I'm framing it - this is giving "banned book energy" just cuz The Pact is exploring romantic madwheeler when no one cares about byclair or henderhop or henclair (despite folks labeling El as a lesbian). Anyways, you do you moot be blessed out here

Hello deer moot!!!! <33

Thanks so much for the positive vibes!!! I truly appreciate it. I guess I was just feeling a little let down that a select few people made it so far into a fic and then were angry about the way things were going and/or felt the need for me to tell them the ending. At first it didn't bother me, but after answering the same questions 1,000 times and trying to sort of reassure everyone it got to a point of being exhausting! I want to talk about the fic, but I don't really want to have to defend my writing/story/ship choices every chapter. It's kind of exhausting and was bringing me down a little bit. But anyway, enough about that.

I am SO GLAD that you are like...really vibing with some of the choices in that story? Especially with your unique pov being demi ace and having poly family. I think that fanfiction can be a very important tool for a lot of teen when it comes to exploring sex, especially if it's not a cis het-normative type or even just....dealing with sex from a young person's pov and all of the obstacles that everyone faces in that regard. Also, I think it can just open up a conversation or make a person think about things that maybe they might not of before etc etc. Or! They can just enjoy those scenes for the writing/good time. I'm here for all of it.

I'm not sure if it's a biphobia thing? It honestly hadn't occurred to me, but you may possibly be right. I know a lot of people headcanon Mike as gay, which I fully support. I wouldn't be surprised if that is the case. I think if Byler happens in canon, he'll be unlabeled. BUT I do like to write Mike as bi, I personally think that there were feelings for El at some point. I personally headcanon him as a bi-romantic, and sexually leaning towards men. But that's just me....

But anyway, as that pertains to madwheeler, I also really enjoy the bi for bi Max and Mike dynamic, specifically because it's fun to write, and secondly it's another thing to add to their already similar personalities. And yea. I agree... unless a character's sexuality is specifically stated like El and Will's, there is room for exploration for most characters and that's what fanfic and art is for.

I do think there is this strange thought process regarding bi characters, that if they have a relationship with a person of the opposite sex it's like they're not "queer enough" for other people. Like it's somehow lesser than if Mike has a relationship with a woman, even though he already, in canon, is well, with a woman. And that people tend to forget that people are still bi, still queer, even if they are in the most outwardly straight presenting relationship, cause let's face it....you can't really help who you're attracted to and who you fall in love with. it just is.

And when it comes to the madwheeler in this fic, I am fully aware it is one of the least popular ships out there, but again, that is one of the reasons I wanted to explore it. And a a bi, poly person my self it was really interesting putting these characters in a dynamic where they were both involved with people of differing genders and orientations. It gives you a lot to work with when it comes to having things to write about! シ

And as you said, it also allows for some messy, realistic teenage angst! Which I am always a fan of! ;)

Anyway, thank you for the rant. I appreciate it so much, and am honestly still blown away by the positive responses to this story. Even if it's not everyone's cup of tea!

[polyamorous-eleven]

Elumaxstin headcanon - how it started

imagine that elumax is already together, and byler is not-so-secretly crushing at each other and spends a lot of time together, just two of them, and that leaves Dustin alone.

But Lucas and El can be very emotional and quickly pick up on Dustin being blue and out of it recently, and they talk about it with Max and they all decide that they would hang out with Dustin, bc they love him too (not romantically, yet)

And so they told him that and omg imagine his happy, beaming face!!! He just hugs three of them at once with a big crushing hug, and he laughs with that his specific laugh and Lucas laughs too, El smiles and Max is grimacing but inside she’s happy too!

And u know. they start hanging out, outside, in their houses, just lying together, laughing, playing, hugging, etc etc Slowly, they are exploring this new situation, adding Dustin in their group, and honestly, they didn’t even think about loving him romantically or adding him to their poly relationship, it just happened.

They naturally started standing close to him too, touching him with their fingers, hands, shoulders, just feeling him close, or where cuddling he would just simply, naturally go to their cuddling pile.

And they realize that only when they met up with Mike and Will, and Will asks “Are you dating Dustin too, now?” And they just looks at each other, at Dustin, and Lucas shrugs, El smiles and Max answers “It seems so”

|| @im-not-a-joke here's sth with them!!!

[emily-mooon]

I’m thinking about writing my Jancy Titanic Au in fan fiction instead of a comic. I’ll do little comics for the scenes that I create myself. I’ll have to figure out how to format it though. Should it just be Nancy’s POV? Or should I do a back and forth perspective between the characters?

I don’t have an AO3 account yet so I’ll have to get on the wait list at some point. If I finish the first chapter before I get the invite, I’ll post it on my blog.

I should also note I’m quite new to writing fan fiction. I have written more comedic one shots in the past and have thought about starting some for other fandoms but I have never written one that will have multiple chapters (At least I’m in a creative writing class at my school so I have an understanding on how to write fiction, though fan fiction is its own genre).

Until then, Have a good morning, afternoon, evening or night!

[stranger-things-yapper]

My personal theory is that henderhop is not canon simply because the Duffers (or maybe even Millie, idk) don't think Gaten is handsome enough to be leading man material.

Which to anyone that has watched Honor Society, is a lie.

This little dude had me FULLY CONVINCED he was in love with this girl and I was eating that shit UP

This movie fuels all my henderhop headcanons because now I know what his face looks like when he wants to kiss someone!!! When he's serious, you can tell he's serious, but when he smiles, it totally disarms you! He can be serious and a goofball! Give my little man a good haircut and you are good to go for romance scenarios!!!

But no. Not hot enough for Netflix and their little PR princess, Millie. How would they ever market a romance if she's not with a 10/10 6ft tall model?

God I hate it here. I hate how romance can't exist and be profitable if the people aren't cookie-cutter attractive. I WILL TAKE WHATEVER ACTOR CAN CONVINCE ME THE LEADING LADY IS THEIR MOON AND STARS

Henderhop is Endgame: Part IV

Stranger Things 4

I don't like to be negative, but we barely got crumbs this season :/

Chapters 1 through 8: We are in the midst of a drought. El travels through the desert- as do we.

Chapter 9: The Piggyback

Reunion!!!!

Will: "Where's Lucas?" Dustin: "He's at the hospital." El: "Was he hurt?" Dustin: "No. No, he's- oh, God. You don't know."

🤦‍♀️and that's all for henderhop shippers this season 🙄 season 5 better deliver 😤

EDIT: these two posts (1) (2) mention more of this season's "henderhop" scenes, but again, they only interact once this season, so: season 5 better deliver!

[willthecleric]

Okay i saw you mention the ship henderhop in an ask. What is that, if not dustin x hopper lol???

LOL! It’s Dustin and El. Since now she is referred to as El Hopper. Though I suppose now El is technically a BYERS, she is still legally a Hopper (and we all know Hopper is alive and will make it back into her life eventually). I assure you that I do not ship any of the kids with Hopper. That is just messed up to me. XD
