I love when the problem at hand doesn't require the skills of everyone on the team, so even though it's a dire situation they just have to entertain themselves. Like, in 5x1 Sam and Jacob are working to repair the spaceship:

And Jack and Daniel are just:

One of them brought that ball on a mission to space....

Lockwood is such a caring person, we all know that, and I love the way it's being portrayed. It's in the small details and gestures, especially when it comes to Lucy. This particular scene is so telling bc imagine being Lucy for a moment. New town, new home, you have no money, no one to talk to. Everything is unknown, you're not sure about your choices, and it's scary even for the bravest of us. On top of that you also have to live with two teenage boys now, who can turn out to be bad people. And yet the way Lockwood smiles brings so much comfort instantly. You can see he's not sure how to act around her, but he's respectful and interested in her being okay. This smile is charming yet makes her feel welcomed and safe.

I feel as tho, people seemingly forget about how Uther married a troll, made her the heir of the throne, promptly had sex and then let her eat horse dung in front of all the knights.

Also, Arthur died for a bit.

Like??? Excuse me??? How did we forget about this???

I think it might be my favourite double-episode.

I love that Arthur’s first full sentence to Merlin was “do I know you?” Regardless of the situation the question was asked during, there’s something hauntingly and fatefully beautiful about those words being the first someone would speak to their soulmate.

Will Byers is canonically super attractive, and that’s a risk for him.

I posted somewhere else that Will’s new look would drive all the girls crazy and it could be risky for Will, and someone replied saying that 1. Hawkins already mocked Will for being gay, 2. Will still looked nerdy in the picture, and 3. they didn’t think the Duffers would portray Will as being more attractive that the other boys from the Party.

The thing is, they have already played him up as more attractive than the other kids, and the fact that he still looks nerdy only highlights that more. He’s:

poor

suspected of being gay

a nerd

unpopular

shy

tiny (at least in seasons 1 to 3)

With a terrible haircut and fashion

with a shitty home life

Zombie Boy

and he still attracted three separate girls, two of which even made the first move (in the 80s!). The logical conclusion is that he must be one doll of a boy in-universe. I understand that it was necessary to bring home the point that he doesn’t like girls like that, but the side effect of that is that he comes off as more attractive.

Dustin had a whole plot point about no girls wanting to dance with him and got his long-distance girlfriend at Science camp. Lucas got Max to be his girlfriend by putting effort in it. Mike was straight-up the first boy El’s age she saw in her life (as she remembered it) and saved her life, fed her, etc. It’s not like she saw him and thought “he’s cute”. And I’m pretty sure that even in-universe they’re not unattractive, just not attractive enough to overcome their unpopularity and nerditude.

Plus it’s canon that Joyce was pretty in high school and she got together with Lonnie the Loser because he was a handsome “bad boy”. It’s not a stretch to assume that their children inherited their good looks. After all, Jonathan, who has the same handicaps as Will, replacing “gay” with “creepy loner with no friends” and adding “with no time because he works and takes care of his brother” managed to snatch Nancy Wheeler from rich, popular jock Steve Harrington, and nobody thought it was weird or that she was out of his league.

As for why this poses as risk for Will, there’s a difference between calling a delicate child gay slurs and being like “no for real, what’s the deal with this dude?” when they see that this now teenager has plenty of opportunity to be with girls and doesn’t take it, in a conservative town in the 80s.
