Tell me in the notes how your life would be different and/or what you'd be hyperfixating on instead!
Imagine a timeline where Stranger Things never got renewed after the first season. Or worse, never got made at all.
Imagine never being introduced to all these characters and watching them grow.
#i'll start#it's actually really hard for me to imagine because it's taken up a pretty big space in my life#starting with the mundane my graphic t-shirt selection would be different#probably more band shirts#i would not be playing puzzle tales on my phone so probably more browsing online shops and wikipedia rabbit holes#maybe i would be more up to date on some comics i fell behind on#my summer playlist in 2022 would not have been mike's bassment beats#(although tbh i still would have been listening to the 80's new wave tracks)#i don't think i would've even bought a funko since i was initially opposed to them#me and my out of town friend would've had to find something else to do in dec 22#instead of go to the stranger things experience#on a srs note i think my mental health would've spiraled worse due to all the political fallout#and i wouldn't have believed that a globally popular long-running mainstream tv show could end up with an m/m pairing#i don't think i would've believed it could happen for many years#esp after trump was elected and the supreme court was stacked with conservatives#i could say maybe i'd have met more ppl or tried to date more but honestly i prob would've just found other shows and online stuff to do#the pandemic really made me more of a recluse#i was first convinced to watch the show back in 2016 with a guy i was dating#but my obsession with the show developed independent of that. i went home and binged the rest#it's also made me curious about my 'confirmed bachelor' uncle who played basketball on a midwest hs team in the early 80's#who apparently had a boy who was his 'other half' in childhood and young adulthood#until they had some mysterious 'falling out'#his name is steve btw kdjfkajfkakdmf
