its always "what are your plans for the future, you should really be planning for the future" and never "wow that character you're obsessed with sounds so cool can you explain them to me. im sure you get them more than anyone else"
gay rep is like “kyaaaaaah!!! i like a boy but… i’m a boy >////<?!?!” meanwhile queerbait will be “it’s not a game for me troy. i’m seeing real lava because you’re leaving. it’s embarrassing and i don’t want to be crazy, but i am crazy so… i made a game that made you and everyone else see what i see. i don’t want it to be there either, i swear. i want you to be able to leave, but i don’t think the lava goes away until you stop leaving”
“I can tell TV from real life, Jeff. TV has structure, logic, rules, and likeable leading men. In real life, we have this. We have you” is still one of the most METAL fucking lines in the entire series like??? abed just gagged him like that??? in front of EVERYONE??? insane. I’m still not over it. goddamn
talking to people while holding a beverage is awesome because you don't have to know what to do with your hands and when you don't know what to do with your face you can just take a sip
you know what i would LOVE to see in season 5? that one scene that was deleted from season 1. the one where mike bikes all the way back home from the quarry unconsolably crying after seeing will's alleged dead body come out of the water. i would do anything to see it.
(This is paralleling season 2 btw!! But I’ll get to that later since It’s a central part of understanding this scene.)
(BOARD GAMES??? AS IN THIS WHOLE ASS SCENE??):
(That’s Bold duffers… Anyways let’s continuee!)
(KEEP IN MIND THAT IT SAYS CHANGING AND THE SCREEN IMMEDIATELY PANS TO MIKE!!)
I love how these scenes make you SEE that Mike also thinks he’s being left behind because he’s “different” from the rest of the crew. It's just from Will Byers' unreliable narrator perspective you can't tell what Mike REALLY feels.
THEN IT PANS TO WILL, LIKE- OKAY???
LITERALLY MIKE USING EL AS A BEARD IN S4!!! He’s trying not to change, trying not to be DIFFERENT! (different is gay btw)
OK THIS PART IS SUPER IMPORTANT!(OKAY ITS S2 PARALLEL TIME!! YAY!!)
In the season 1 clip, Mike finds out that Will died, It’s something will related, he’s dead and that means Mike will be separated From Will forever. This just proves that the season 3 scene is referring to Will.
NOW!! Here comes the interesting part. Look at the lyrics of the song in the background of the season 1 clip! (Heroes)
This is EXACTLY what the lyrics says EXACTLY in that clip about being separated by Will. Now, there were rumours going around hawking that Will got killed off for being queer, so that just gives the whole season one scene that has a whole different and deeper meaning. (ALSO look at how the lyrics continue!)
Ok Mike… He really just said beat the homophobes lol.
(Proof:)
Just look at stranger things season one episode three minute 49:14
