#kissing the duffers on the mouth rn

[freetobeeyouandme]

I love Dustin’s My Little Pony Hypothesis so much!! He’s literally doing the opposite of gatekeeping nerd spaces with it! It’s so kind! To not go “actually you must prove your niche knowledge of my interests to prove you belong in my circle” and instead say “your interests, although not my interests exactly (even though he must have watched it to know all this lol bro), are similar enough to make us siblings whether you want to or not.” And in turn Erica realizes that that’s a good thing! That’s a connection and love!! That she is a nerd and that’s good. And it’s so emblematic of the show!! Which doesn’t just have nerds being bullied for being nerds but very deliberately makes its nerds Black, disabled, female and queer!! Making it this thing that people regardless of who they are can bond over! It’s a love letter to all this nerd stuff but it also says this stuff is for all! And that means all and not just white cishte dudebros on reddit! And that’s just so!!!! Hello! I love you!!!!!

Yeah, most some fanfics are wayyy better than the actual show and the duffers need to start taking notes

I've read some of the most amazingly well written fics in the entire world. Its what's keeping me delulu rn. I really wish i could reach out and give all these writers that pour their heart and souls out into these fics a big fat kiss on the mouth.

i do really wish i could sit down and write a fic of my own but i lack both the skill and the patience. maybe one of these days i might actually try, i mean if the duffel bags are confident enough to put out the dumpster fire that s4v2 was then for sure i can try,
