i need to like actually draw my ocxcanon stuff but well i get embarrassed

[basicrese]

no bc UR RIGHT. im rewatching stranger things from s1 rn as we speak and the camera moment was such a reasonable reaction??? like who wouldn’t be pissed off and creeped out by the fact that this other guy was secretly taking pictures of the girl he’s seeing as she was undressing??? and YES i love nancy actually but she’s done Steve wrong way more than he has and idk personally i don’t know if she’s actually realized that herself because we’ve seen Steve grow from his immature ways and ofc Nancy has also grown BUT IDK IF SHE’S EVER ACTUALLY ADDRESSED HOW SHE WAS ALSO PRETTY MEAN TO STEVE IN A WAY OUTSIDE OF THE WHOLE “BULLSHIT” MOMENT? IDK LET ME KEEP REWATCHING AND GET BACK TO THIS 😭😭

Does anyone else hate the way Steve was made believe that he was a bad guy and a shitty boyfriend? When he was literally the one who got cheated on and was dumped for some other guy?

Steve was never a bad person and he was never a bad boyfriend. He was a teenage boy who did maybe two bad things. What Nancy did to him was way worse.

Now he’s still in love with her? BITCH BYE. If he dies for her, I will throw up. I can’t stand her for the way she treated him and for how she gave him false hope again.

I feel like people do ignore the scripts of S2, because that explicitly shows that the writers intended Mlvn to be romantic. I think they are not intending to write them as an endgame couple ofc, but there was something between them honestly and i do not think we can ignore that. It is a big part of the story (yes, romantic part of it is included even if it is not going to be endgame). I'd still consider StevexNancy and BobxJoyce as important parts of the plot romantic relationship wise, and obviously MikexEl are portrayed deeper than that and are given more care too. It is hard to disregard Mlvn's romantic past for me especially when I rewatch the show. That doesn't negate Mike's love for Will in any way, and it doesn't take away from his queerness.

it definitely doesn't take away from his queerness and I agree, this is meant as romantic from Mike's part for sure and we know this script is real so I think that IF they changed Mike's storyline somehow that came later... but who knows!

personally I think it's more likely they always intended for him to be bi or queer and a bit oblivious to Will's feelings for him + idealizing El but I think Miele will always be super important and they love each other a lot in whatever way they do

[that-thing-that-feeling]

The way the Duffers handle some characters worries me because 1- It does not make sense and 2- there is a serious problem with time management and balance in how they handle their characters esp considering the main plot and some dynamics.

I personally think Jancy is end game. So it makes me ask what was the point of this ship teasing of StevexNancy in this season only to milk the love triangle drama instead of naturally adding more moments between Jonathan and Nancy and making them more likable to the audience so that the viewers would be supporting Jancy as a ship. It feels like the writers chose drama over natural progression, and it resulted in the regression of the narrative and characters.

If they wanted Will to have a focal focus in the next season, why did they minimize his character this much and made the majority of the audience be bored with his character and see him as a useless character overall? Same with the other Cali gang members. And considering that both Mike and Jonathan will also potentially have screen time in the next season (i hope)... where is the logic? the majority of the audience sees them as useless and boring.

Supposedly RobinxVickie are going to be a couple, which makes them the only lgbt canon ship on the show (i personally do not think Byler is happening, but I am not going to start a discourse about this in this ask). So why not give RobinxVickie more moments in this season? Why just give them a couple of minutes at most if you want your audience to root for your only wlw couple on your show?

Supposedly the Russia plot will not make a prominent appearance anymore because the story will be centered in Hawkins in the next season. Then why spend so much unnecessary screen time on the Russia sub plot and include unnecessary screen time for minor characters that will not have prominent roles and are not even main characters.

There's just too many things to count honestly but yeah, the writers do not know how to manage their time and their large cast of characters.

Those are all really good points! It kinda makes sense to me there wasn’t a lot of Vicky in s4; we didn’t need even more focus on new characters but it does make for a weird set up in s5. And yeah it makes no sense to minimize Will so much, there was too much time spent on peripheral new characters in Russia, and I still don’t know what their intentions were in bringing back the love triangle. Would love to see them get back to good character writing and interactions we haven’t seen for awhile (so more Byers, would also love in addition to jancy talking, to see a teen group and how Jonathan and Steve would interact). But yeah they def need to keep a focus on all OGs and give them more equal screentime.

I don’t have a preference for one ship over the other, but if Steve and Nancy do end up together, it would be very Betty x James of them and, as a Swiftie, I find that really cool and ✨poetic✨

Alright, I’m about to start binge watching Season 2 of Stranger Things. But before I do, I just wanted to say that since the first time I saw it (I’ve seen S1 multiple times) Steve/Jonathan/Nancy has been an OT3. Like, how can you not? Of course I love them as individuals, and their own respective ships ie: Steve/Nancy, John/Nancy, and Steve/John. But I mean... HOw...Can... You NoT?

Especially this part! I mean...

Steve went to apologize to Johnathan for the fight... ANd he fucking came back... and

THe way he was standing in front of them like that, protecting them. (I feel like he would’ve done so regardless if he’d had the bat or not.)

I mean... C’mon guys. OT3 right here. I ship them so hard. (And there’s a scene in the trailer that sorta makes it seem like Steve and Nancy broke up, and I hope not, because they’re the canon couple, and they’re cute, and okay, I’ll shut up now.)

Alright. c: Binge watching Season 2 Nnnnooow....! (And Happy Halloween you guys!) -10.31.17, Jeanette

Let's talk about Eddie's ambiguity deliberately interrupting StevexNancy a moment and 10 seconds later encouraging Steve to get back with her

I've been rewatching Stranger Things and I really feel like there's something to the clocks/time. The grandfather clock, the black widows having an hourglass marking, the time in the upside down being stuck in 1983. There's a line in s4 when 001 says "I could restore balance to a broken world" juxtaposed with Henry turning the hands of the grandfather clock backward. Then when Vecna is showing Nancy a glimpse of the future, there's visions of the hands of the grandfather clock spinning backwards again. I really think that in order to "fix" Hawkins, there is going to have to be some sort of timeline reset. That in order to restore balance, they're going to have to merge the upside down with the real world and in order to do that Hawkins might have to get set back in time to before the first portal was opened. And if they do that, does that mean they would bring everyone back? Max, Eddie, Chrissy, Billy, Bob, Barb, anyone who died to Vecna or minions of the upside down. But in order to do that I think someone is going to have to make a sacrifice.

Personally I think Will is going to be the big bad next season. I think this because of his obvious connection to the upside down and Vecna. He was the first one physically brought into the upside down and spent the most time in it. He's got the guilt and suicidal thoughts that Vecna feeds off of due to his suppressed romantic feelings for Mike. Not to mention his hair, his hair hasn't changed the whole series, everyone else's has, but just like the upside down, he's physically stuck in 1983. Then there was the whole 'Will is a traitor's storyline from season 2.

I also think that Jonathan will sacrifice himself to save Will because he feels responsible for Will and because he's the only person who truly understands Will. They made Jonathan MUCH more attentive to Will in s4, he's the only one who truly knows what's going on with Will and how he's feeling. That's why they're setting up the StevexNancy vibes. They've also given Joyce a love interest who's also lost a kid and would know how that level of loss and grief would feel and who could see her through it.

I'm finishing season 4 tonight and I'll update this if I can find any other evidence to support my theory.

i wish i could write again soon so i can not only write my book but also write little stories about my ocs that i dont have the energy to make a comic

[thatgirlwithasquid]

I HAVE HAD A REVALATION AS TO WHY I DISLIKE STEVExNANCY SO MUCH:

It’s mostly because of the fact that 1) they had both moved on, Seve with Robin (bad luck but he did like her) and Nancy with Jonathan, and 2) Steve straight out said he was over Nancy in that convo with Robin

This is the exact same thing that I did not like about Stydia in Teen Wolf. By the point they got together Stiles had been pretty happy with Malia and they just abrubptly went ‘no’ and Lydia had been involved with other people so my brain had clocked her as Not Interested. I also just liked the platonic bond they had established.

I love characters finding love but sometimes it just feels to me like... platonic love would work nicer? Obviously that’s just my opinion, but yeah.

[gayleafpool]

things i did not like abt s4:

-THE STEVEXNANCY SHIT!!!! ENOUGH!!!

-everything with will. please just let him do something other than suffer and be sad about being gay and then get sidelined by the story. also why did they not let him come out to jonathan☹️😒🤔 why are they so afraid 2 say it

-the fact that they’re gonna pair robin up w some random girl who had maybe 3 lines

-the whole russia plot was just kind of weird and felt so out of place

-if max lives then we are fine…. if she dies then im offing myself

-the vibe of the show is so different now idk the writing just isn’t as good anymore

[matymatsu]

reading that stevexnancy drabble and how you mentioned the spirit, it made me think about a drabble idea about nancyxspirit where nancy tries to comfort rin

Can the survivors just start a Rin support group???

the baby needs it

The bitch is unstable, just stay far away from her! 

David’s words echoed in Nancy’s mind, warning her of what she planned to do. David wasn’t exactly the most empathetic person so, she couldn’t really take his words to heart. She couldn’t help but feel guilty... I mean, how couldn’t she? The Spirit looked exactly as old as she did, and yet she was barely together. Both physically, and mentally. She wasn’t a psychiatrist, but even she could tell the ghost showed signs of bipolar disorder. Either that, or it was as if something in this realm was possessing her and causing her mental health to deteriorate. 

Her blood ran cold, staring face to face with the ghoulish woman. She panted, her blade unsheathed and still wet with the blood of her teammates. Nancy was going to die, wasn’t she? She might as well go down with the plan still in mind. “Rin... that’s your name, r-right?”

The girl tensed up, her eyes widening in shock. Guess she was right. The only reason she knew that was from Yui, not sure how she knew the Spirit’s name but, she never really questioned it. “I-I don’t know what happened to you but... I can tell, you... you really don’t want to do this, do you?”

Rin’s body trembled, biting her lower lip so hard Nancy could see a hint of blood. She raised her blade up, preparing to strike the other girl down, only to freeze. Tears started to pour down Rin’s face as she shook her head. Nancy slowly reached up, gripping the cold, lifeless hand that clutched to the blade. She watched as it slowly dematerialized and Rin began to sob, falling to her knees. “I’m sorry... I’m sorry....!” 

She spoke in a language Nancy couldn’t understand but, could tell she was remorseful. She kneeled down across from Rin. “I’m sorry too...”

@steveperryxjuliaperez for u, enjoy the upcoming steve/aynsley, still and always will hate the dude

[pinkbabby]

what she says: I'm fine

what she means: i can't believe people actually ship nancy with jonathan, because that completely goes against what the writers are trying to do. they set up your basic trope: good girl is trying to be #edgy and is dating your stereotypical "bad boy", and then this "nice guy" comes along and pays attention to her. listen, jonathan is great and all, but i don't trust pretentious creeps that like to take pictures of girls making out with their boyfriends in privacy without anyone's permission. jonathan also tried to put nancy in this box. "you were trying to be someone else." the writers totally destroyed the idea of nancy simply being that straight A student that wants to rebel. she's not dating steve, or drinking, or shooting guns because she thinks she's being "different". she's doing those things because THAT'S WHO SHE IS. you can get straight A's and want to do well in school while also partying and dating a hunk. speaking of the hunk, steve is actually wayyy better for her than jonathan (i mean i'd be happy if nancy decided not to be with anyone but let's be real i'm a total stevexnancy person) and here's why: he paid attention to her, like really noticed things about her. he didn't make fun of who she was in a condescending way, and he also supports her. like, yes, he's problematic in that he has shitty friends and horrible parents (from what we've heard) and while his initial decisions are rude and selfish, he becomes self-aware and tries to make it up to people. i.e., going to jonathan's to try and apologize and buying him a new camera, or coming to nancy to tell her he confessed to the police even though it got him in trouble, or telling his friends where to stick it and then going to help wash off the graffiti. in short, jonathan romanticized this version of nancy that wasn't really all of who she was and people paint him to be this great guy (would you trust a guy that took pictures of you without you knowing, and then only feeling guilty once you found out?) and steve is this beautiful work in progress that wants to understand how nancy works as a person. so basically the fact that the writers didn't leave nancy with jonathan means that they destroyed that basic story line where the "nice girl" leaves the "bad boy" for the "nice guy" and they did it in the best way possible without completely bashing any one character and i just really love this show.
