Was it casual when you let him ‘shoot’ someone, even though you were in their mind and could feel all their pain, just so he could be safe and get his revenge?

stan twins the canon cptsd brothers i will always think about all your unaddressed issues that would make perfect plot fuel for your spinoff
and also the whole 'stan getting that poem by bill via a website which contrasts with bill getting one from the axolotl via a website' foreshadowing thing
like idk i would love something like su future but like more optimistic, aka not an accumulated breakdown that has to be mostly resolved off screen at the end :/// but something thats being kinda addressed throughout? (although would love to see one of them turn into a monster thats always fun lol)
stan having severe issues from his dad and those years of being homeless that we keep on getting more info on but never really getting confronted on (the drifter catalogue and tijuana incident...), him being completely alone for like twenty years when running the shack before soos comes along to the point that 1998 is noted as his low point, and him not really learning about bill+what he did to ford until ages after he killed him if he ever did get the full context
while i think amnesia and everyone seeing him as a hero actually helped with stan's 'i'm a worse version of my brother' thing its still a lingering issue too and we now got him being insecure over his own hands
ford being immediately thrown from 'being tortured by bill' to 'being stuck in the multiverse and being chased by bounty hunters constantly', him fully expecting himself to die when destroying bill, and him only now being safe for the first time in 30 years ....relatively safe, he's still in constant danger because of course he is
idk in the end the series wants them to be happy and they deserve it, its why i wasn't too worried about the book being like 'ooh bill is back!! and the book is haunting ford' thing cos i knew they'll be ok

anyway so much of fandom is about emotional regulation and letting other people be happy. someone else's fave character gets a clip or promo poster or plot point or whatever? if it's promo, there's plenty of slices of pie and a lot of reasons why certain things are released over other things (spoilers, popularity, marketing ease, intrigue, etc). it's not a competition, it's not a personal slight. if you treat it like the former, you'll be deeply bitter and unpleasant; if you treat it like the latter, you're putting way too much importance and belief that a children's tv show promo marketing schedule should revolve around you and nobody else's (like executive) preferences, which is an interesting take, to say the least
furthermore: you think if this thing might not happen this season, or you'll be devastated if it does happen, because you got attached to a character or plot beat the story seemingly isn't? you're frustrated with waiting? it's tough luck but the story isn't here to service your particular wants, needs, and preferences; neither is the broader fandom. know and find your appropriate spaces to vent or complain (i.e. not the official fan server dear lord). things will happen as they happen. being aware of the story contract you signed onto and being respectful of it is important if you don't wanna be an ass. fandom entitlement always reeks and pushes other people (like me) away from making the very stuff you'd like to see and read, and you'll just end up with even less than you already have, not more
if you're not invested in all of, or the main aspects of, a show in equal calibre, you can't help that, and you can't help where your hyperfixation or preferences fall. but you do have a responsibility to understand how to stay in your lane(s) and not rain on other people's parades just because they Like All The Things and are accordingly excited/grateful for whatever they're getting, thanks
