#Part 2 I fucking guess.
Text
It has come to my attention that SOME OF YOU who read my last Byler post remain UNCONVINCED. So I'm gonna tack onto it this:
I'm older than fucking God and air, and I've been out and proud since 2007. Yes, I know what homophobia is, and yes, I know what queerbaiting is. I know about Supernatural and Teen Wolf and Sherlock and blahdyblahdyblah. No new ground is being covered here. I thought I made that clear in the original post, but, clearly, I did not.
I am aware of queerbaiting and homophobia, and I'm still wholeheartedly certain in Byler being canon anyway.
Okay, so there are three types of relationship I want to discuss when it comes to queerbaiting. They're all, like, "queer relationships that could have happened, but didn't".
First off, queer-coding. This isn't really a thing so much anymore, but it still crops up every once in a while. I'd argue it probably happens most with male-male relationships in family shows these days. First example that comes to mind is Mr. Smiley and Mr. Frowny from Steven Universe. You can't make a relationship canon because some shitty overhead bastard overhead said no, so you get as close as you can without compromising the show. Can't make someone gay? Well, now their comedy routine is a blatant allegory for a romantic relationship. Boom-shaka-laka. This is something I don't see being a problem with regards to Stranger Things, but I want it to be there as contrast, a demonstration of one of many things queerbaiting is not. However, one could argue that, thus far, Will Byers is, canonically, queer-coded. It's pretty fucking heavily implied in the show, and the creators have confirmed it, and you're gonna be able to see it if you're not FUCKING BLIND, but word of god is not technically canon which means that interviews don't technically make something canon, blahdyblahdyblahdyblah, technicalities, Robin has been explicitly stated in the text to be queer while Will has, thus far, not, outside of good ol' Show-Don't-Tell. Of course, anyone with two brain cells to rub together can tell that that's going to change by the end of Season 5, but, hey, for what it's worth, I'm throwing this out there.
Alrighty, Thingamajingama Number Two: "Oops, I accidentally made the greatest love story known to man." AKA, a genuine, honest-to-goodness mistake. Unfortunately, we do live in a heteronormative society. Sometimes people who don't think about being gay much write a friendship that's incredibly compelling and don't even consider the possibility that it could have been read as romantic. Something something Top Gun something. This is, again, not queerbaiting. This is Steddie, this is Ronance, this is Elmax, this is your favorite flavor of non-canon ship this week, this is not Byler. The creators know DAMN well what they're doing. They've talked about it. We know this. Nothing new here.
Which brings us to the topic of discussion here. Actual queerbaiting. This usually starts out as an "accidental greatest love story", and then reacts to fan response. And when I say "reacts", I mean like a goddamn chemical reaction. Like bleach and ammonia, bitch. It's noxious and it's gonna kick your fucking ass without mercy. This is when a creator is like, "Hey, let's get our queer audience invested, but we're not actually going to give them what they want because our straight audience isn't here for that/we personally think it's gross/we don't give enough of a shit to want to research a goddamn thing to write a real gay character," blah blah blah whatever excuse they want to come up with this time.
And when you think "queerbaiting", I want you to think "bullying". Because that's what it is. It's lucrative bullying, like beating us up and taking our lunch money, but it's bullying all the same. And it's a real goddamn thing, even if people misuse the word a lot, often when they mean one of the two above, sometimes when they mean "bury your gays", which is another homophobic thing entirely that I'm not going to get into here. Queerbaiting is the thing we're focused on, and it's real, and it's bullying. And here's the reason I want you to think of it as bullying:
They
Think
It's
Funny.
They are actively making fun of us.
That's why Dean had the "Cas, get out of my ass," line in Supernatural. It's why the "Do you like boys?" line happened in Teen Wolf. It's why "Lie with me, Watson," happened in the RDJ Sherlock Holmes movies. Because "It's just a joke, mate." "It was just a prank, bro." "You didn't really think it would happen, did you?" "You should see your face."
So here's probably the biggest reason I don't think it's specifically queerbaiting in this specific instance of Will Byers and Mike Wheeler.
Stranger Things has never, not once, made a gay joke. Ever.
Every single time queerness comes up, it's dead serious.
Lonnie calls Will a fag, and the show is not at all reluctant to show what a goddamn horrible person he is. And when Hopper latches onto that, it's not as "Hahah, is he gay, though?" It's because he's trying to determine a potential motive for Will's disappearance, and even if someone had interpreted it as a joke, Joyce immediately has a line that functions as snapping her fingers in front of the audience's face and yelling "FOCUS" when she says "He's MISSING." Basically outright saying "This isn't funny!"
Troy calls him a fairy, along with targeting Lucas and Dustin for their skin color and disability respectively, and Mike gets damn near murderous. Troy is portrayed as a goddamn monster and the show portrays it as justice when El makes him piss his pants and later breaks his arm.
Steve calls Jonathan "queer" as a slur and gets the shit beat out of him for it.
Billy's father is revealed to be homophobic and abusive in the same breath.
Mike says "It's not my fault you don't like girls!" and we're shown how devastated Will is and Mike immediately follows him to beg for forgiveness.
There is a joke in Robin's coming-out scene, but it's not at Robin's expense. It's at Steve's. Specifically for being heteronormative.
Jonathan has multiple scenes where he's trying so hard to tell Will that he's always going to love him as he is, whether he's gay or not, without pressuring him to come out before he's ready.
Even when there's a little bit of ribbing at Robin's expense, it's always because she's an awkward nerd who's nervous around pretty girls, just the same as Lucas and Dustin are teased when they both first develop crushes on Max, and even then, even then, it always comes as a package deal where they make fun of Steve's girl problems at the same time.
Stranger Things is an emphatically pro-gay show. It may not be the core point of the show the way it is in, say, Our Flag Means Death, but there is nothing less than respect for its queer characters. Its queer characters are always taken completely seriously. No one is making fun of us. They never have. That's why I have serious doubts that this is queerbaiting. It would come completely out of left field for the bullying to start in Stranger Things' final season.
So it's not at all likely to be queerbaiting because queerness is taken completely seriously. The creators have talked about Will's queerness, at least, so it's not an accident. And queer-coding would be silly to expect from this show when it's already on its final season. Like, what is Netflix gonna do? Cancel it? Not to mention all the explicit queerness that's in there already. And no one's gonna "What about the children?" a show that's had sex scenes in it since the first season.
There's no fakeout here. It's gonna happen. Breathe.
#byler#Part 2 I fucking guess.#Wasn't planning on making a Part 2 but here we are.#I seriously just want you guys to feel safe.#I'm not naive. I do not say any of this shit lightly.#But I've been around the block long enough to know what queerbaiting looks like and this ain't it. Promise.#Will's already been confirmed as in love with Mike for fuck's sake. You don't think the other half of the equation's gonna follow through?#There has only ever been one other situation where I've gone 'Okay this is going in gay places' with no doubt whatsoever without being told#And that was with Daja in Tamora Pierce's 'Will of the Empress' when I read it at like sixteen or whatever#and she wound up having whole-ass fuckin' gay sex.#I was right then and I'm right now. I swear.

Happy Birthday
Steve Harrington x female!reader
Summary: Steve gets a video from you for his birthday.
Warnings: masturbation (male and female), f masturbation on video, pet name (baby), no use of y/n
18+ only
Steve sighed contentedly as he flopped onto the couch. He propped his feet up on the coffee table in front of him. He surveyed the destruction across his living room and smiled. Balloons were strewn about, streamers falling off the walls, and random cups that had been forgotten. Robin had thrown a surprise party, and though part of him thought he was too old for a party being in his 20s, he couldn't help but feel elated. Cherished even.
He glanced at the pile of gifts he had received. Eddie had gotten him an album, Nancy had given him more clothes in yellow, and Robin had gotten him tickets to a hockey game. You had given him three movies: one was a favorite of his, the other a new release he had wanted to watch, and then a home movie. You had asked him to watch it alone, claiming it was too embarrassing to show everyone and that you had been emotional in it. You made him promise, and Steve tried not to break his promises.
Steve hoped you were emotional because you confessed you liked him. Steve and you had a flirty relationship, but neither of you had "officially" said anything. One drunken make out session kiss was enough to fuel his fantasies for months, a kiss that you didn't seem to remember. Steve wasn't sure if he should bring it up, afraid of rejection. He wondered if you were silent for the same reason, or if you didn't even remember.
However, you could be emotional because one of the times you had your camera, you had found a stray dog. Both you and Robin were bawling about how the dog had been abandoned, leaving him as he wrestled with the dog from hell. Steve cursed that stupid rat dog, he would even curse the breed if he knew it, as it had scratched him relentlessly. Giving the dog a bath was funny in retrospect, but at the time Steve was fuming over this dog soaking both him and Robin and causing Robin to somehow fall into the tub, yanking Steve down with it. Of course, you were recording the whole time. The only good part was hearing your laugh.
Or maybe it was the time everyone had went to the lake. A seagull, which made no sense to Steve as it was the lake and not the sea, had stolen Eddie's sandwich. Eddie had taken off chasing the bird, yelling and cursing the whole way. Steve remembered laughing so hard he was crying, and he remembered the way your face had beamed at him. The way you pushed the hair out of his eyes.
Or it could be the party where everyone had gotten drunk, except for him. Sure, he had done a few keg stands in his days, but he wanted someone to be sober to take care of you. You had been rambling about something before stopping and calling him "pretty". He had blushed and tried to deny it, somehow making you think that he didn't find himself pretty. You had started trying to convince him, getting more sad that he felt bad about himself. Which Steve didn't feel bad about himself, but he wasn't going to complain as you gave him compliment after compliment. You even wrapped your arms around him and cuddled him. You were so warm in his embrace. How he wanted to embrace you in other ways.
Steve snapped the VHS case open and stared at the tape. He was alone now and his mind was going crazy with what ifs. He probably was overthinking it. He popped the VHS in the player and grabbed the remote before sitting back on the couch. He hit the power on and-
Steve's eyes widened and he dropped the remote. He wasn't sure what he was expecting but seeing your chest in red lacy lingerie was not it. The swells of your breasts pushed up slightly. He wanted to kiss and suck at your chest. Red lace contrasting against your skin. Your chest moving up and down as you breathed. Your hand comes into view and gently grasps your breast, squeezing it. Steve wished it was his hand.
Steve inhaled deeply and his hand shook. Holy. Fuck. His jeans were unbearably tight as he watched you slowly remove the bra. Your nipples were hardened-God, how he wanted to lick and tease them. You pinched one and let out a moan. Steve wanted to make you moan like that, but just hearing you? He was harder than he ever had been in his life. You sounded sweeter then anything he could imagine. You sounded like an angel, and he was in Heaven.
Steve unbuttoned his jeans and peeled them down enough for his cock to bob up and hit his navel. He was already leaking. He spit in his hand and wrapped it around his hardened length. He focused back on you and-
Steve moaned. You had moved the camera down to the red lacy panties you were wearing. "See that Baby?" You were out of breath, barely speaking above a whisper as you traced a finger over your clothed pussy. A damp spot was noticeable in the fabric and you sighed as your finger traced over the spot," See how wet I am for you, Baby?"
Steve's eyes closed instinctively before he snapped them open. He didn't want to miss a second of this. Steve's hips bucked into his hand as he stroked up and down his dick. On screen, you removed your panties, and his mouth watered. Steve bit his lip as he got a clear view of your pussy. You were so wet; he wanted to lick every drop. He wanted to taste your arousal. He wanted to hear you scream and writhe against his tongue as you came. He wanted his face covered in your release.
Your fingers on screen played with your clit before circling your weeping hole. One of your fingers easily slid in due to how wet you were. Steve moaned at the site of you adding another finger and pumping in and out. You moaned and ground against your hand. You added another finger and Steve couldn't help but think of how small your hands were and that it wouldn't even prepare you for his dick. As you picked up your pace and started to buck your hips wildly, Steve sped up to be at the same pace as you. He imagined that it was his cock spreading you open. How wet you would be. How warm. How tight. Your mouth dropping open in pleasure, your whimpers under him (or over him he wasn't picky).
"Steve!" You let out a gasp and moaned on screen, fingers getting drenched by your release. "Oh fuck shit fuck," Steve rasped out in between whines as he came all over his hand. His chest was heaving. Brain foggy from pleasure. His hair was stuck to his forehead from sweat. Steve sighed as he grabbed a napkin off the table and cleaned his hand, rubbing at the hem of his shirt that had gotten dirty. He looked back up on the screen to see your smirk. "Call me Stevie, next time you could do this to me yourself." The screen went black as you covered it with your hand. He could faintly hear,"Oh God what did I just do fuck ok this is fine, he'll like it right?" It took Steve all of two seconds to jump up and grab his car keys to head to you. Oh he definitely liked it. Fuck calling you though. The only calling that would be happening tonight was you calling his name.
#Not me having a part two already been started#Listen yall Steve deserves a great birthday first off cause I know his parents never really cared#But secondly that man deserves to be wined dined and fucked#Anyways uh have this#Is this self indulgent? Bro you telling me you don't want Steve to get off to the thought of you 🤨#Anywho keep an eye out for part 2 i guess uh its gonna be awhile#But I got the start of it but uh I have like 6 other WIPs rn so#Steve Harrington smut#Steve Harrington x reader#Steve Harrington x you#Steve Harrington x y/n#Steve Harrington x female!reader#Steve Harrington/female!reader#Steve Harrington#Steve Harrington/reader#Steve Harrington/you#Stranger Things fic#Jade is Talking

Honestly sometimes when reading posts ppl make on here it feels like ppl forget autism is a disability and it. Yknow. Disables you.
#its more than just stimming and having a special interest or whateverrr#and while i love and appreciate that part of autism i rarely see any acknowledgement of like. other aspects of it#qmd when i do its in relation to allistics bringing it up#i have meltdowns. i had one tonight.#the only tkme people fucking talk about them is when allistic moms post their kids having meltdowns onto facebook#them doing that is bad. obviously.#but we can say more about them. we should give and share advice on how to cope with them more.#whatever#autism#actually autistic#neurodivergent#ok 2 rb#i guess.

can i just say it's so funny to me that villeneuve is planning on doing dune messiah and just stopping because it means most people probably won't ever watch Worm Wars (the rest of the books) like they straight up just won't ever know about it. you and I will know because we are Worm Freaks but the extent of the general populace's knowledge is gonna be "timothee chalamet colonizes a planet"
#although i guess he kind of does that in real life#we will never see horrifying worm beast#reblog for worm beast#it would be just as funny if he continued tho because herbert just completely overhauls the cast in every book after messiah#??? < people who watched the first one and don't know who the fuck darwi odrade is#dune#dune part two#frank herbert#sci fi#dune part 2#dune 2#dune movie#rip my tennis followers who dgaf about this

You know one thing I love about Japan? Everyone responds to me saying "I speak Norwegian" like it's really fucking cool. I tell people in the UK that I speak Norwegian and they're just like "why? You know everyone there speaks English, right? There's literally no point in learning it." But I tell people over here and they're like "no way, that's amazing! And you learned by yourself? You're so clever!"
#i guess it's bc norway's a faraway fairyland to most people here and they've probably never met a norwegian-speaker before#but still. it's perspective innit#even the other native staff. only 2 of us on my team are even from europe#the others are from north america or africa or elsewhere in asia#god it's so cool being part of an international community. i fucking love my job.

Honestly Ben 10 is probably one of the most based science fiction series out there by sheer virtue of it having the balls to showcase any alien concept it wanted to no matter how ridiculous, and whenever someone is like “there’s no way in Hell that could ever be scientifically feasible”, it dared to look them in the eyes and go “Yeah, well, this is a world where magic and superpowered mutants also exist. What are you gonna do? Cry about it? You grown ass adult who’s expecting scientific feasibility out of a cartoon meant to sell toys to preteen boys that has lore so inconsistent it’s almost impossible to tell what’s canon and what’s non-canon? LMAO loser.”
I mean OS had it all- obviously aliens but not only that, at minimum 10 of them; mutants in daily life across at least America, no doubt in other places too; magic, albeit one without a system beyond ‘there’s a spellbook and some charms’. The shift to purely alien in AF makes the wonderful nonsense sci-fi stuff into frustrating logic trees of ‘how does xenobiology get this powerful’ which I had definitely fallen into. Ben 10 is unabashedly science fantasy, so why not go the full fantasy and bring back mutants and magic, haha!
Admittedly a good implementation of magic in a series tends to follow a magic system, which I’m not especially great at coming up with, especially in comparison to speculative biology which come with pre-established rules. But hey, I don’t exactly expect it to be fleshed out, at least not as well as the alien aspect of Ben 10; even then, there’s only so much fleshed out, it’s to tease us into making lore for it lmao-
To be fair though, Ben 10 itself had to whack itself on the cheek in order to be reminded of its magic and especially mutant parts, which unfortunately in the latter case was central to major retcons so…
#ask#anonymous#ben 10#my favourite mutant characters that come to mind when i say ‘mutants in daily life’ in os#are gatorboy and porcupine- from ready to rumble#you can see a lot of mutants there and how fourarms- visibly an alien- doesn’t look out of place#the lore implications alone- a mutant wrestling ring with monetary winnings- are enough to entice fan expansions#then that mutant rep- even if only in the background- was lost to the tides of af making everything exclusively alien#magic being taken away because 1) anodites but also 2) charmcaster and hex and others came from ledgerdomain#and thus are technically alien to this dimension- or whatever plain of existence ledgerdomain exists on#the only ones who canonically use magic are those connect to- reside within- or holding something from ledgerdomain#which kind of makes it exclusively alien in a way that’s kinda i guess radioactive? not the word#sorry i shouldn’t say only- the others are mr jingles santa’s elf- sir george holding an apparent galvan crafted magic sword (no thanks)-#or ben 10000 who learnt magic from gwen but is also technically part anodite in the same way gwen is#to note on ascalon- sure maybe azmuth’s creation of it and the subsequent destruction of the incursean homeworld got him motivated to#make and save life rather than destroy and warp it#but come on a sword? a magic sword? like seriously azmuth your ass did not make that#i bet the omnitrix was actually made for the intent to fix malware but azmuth’s isolation and general grievances with the universe#ultimately made it appear he was abandoning his suffering (son) creation to fuck off and mope#he’s already an asshole that fits more than him making a bloody magic sword for ascalon’s sake#it could simply be a magic sword from the incurseans that had been used to destroy their planeg#i mean milleous seemed to think the annihilarrgh was a viable persuasion technique despite the fact if activated it would destroy everything#including the very fleets he would clearly be much more interested in expanding rather than erasinb#it fits the INCERSEANS to destroy their planet with a powerful magic sword- let aliens have magic

the fabled personal Bracken hc list..
mostly regarding biology, its relationships w/ other entities… etc... mostly just me yapping about brackens with 0 linearity
A Bracken is a collection of various recycled forms of plantlife that gathered underground into a (mostly) living being during its ‘gestation’.
During that process, it collects and absorbs some features from the plants, creatures (carrion that decomposed nearby the Bracken’s gestation spot) and minerals around it until it has developed enough to begin developing ‘thought’.
Regarding the carrion that the Bracken passively absorbs; in many cases, it simply results in differing aesthetics, patterning, and spinal structure*. If a Manticoil were to die and decompose, untouched, near a Bracken's gestation site, the Bracken may passively become more birdlike; a small beak, hooked claws (in adulthood) and clusters of thick, downy feather-like foliage closer to the skin than a typical Bracken might sport. (*Spinal structure refers to the leaves and foliage that tend to root into the Bracken's back, typically dominating the spine, collarbone, and ribcage sections of the body.)
Typically, a Bracken is made up of various different types of fungi coexisting, a species of fan-leafed plant which evolved alongside Brackens (which usually make up their spinal structures), and several small creatures (usually beginning during the Bracken’s juvenile phase) occasionally as large as a small mouse that take care of any debris, foreign liquids, or otherwise unnatural substances/materials that could injure the Bracken. Examples of small symbiotic entities include: newborn Bunker Spiders, newborn to adult manticoils, (mundane) insects and, very rarely, a Mask*. (*See the end notes.)
It’s not uncommon for a Bracken to ‘host’ a Bunker Spider’s offspring (NOT sexually), though in very small quantities; one or two maximum in return for the strong webbing that will eventually solidify into a strong, durable ‘hide’, regardless of whether or not the webs are left inside or outside of its body.
Some Bracken variations have low-strength sedative properties, while others have fairly weak vestigial poisons or venoms as a result of where they had gestated and the environment's effects.
A Bracken only ‘hatches’ on any singular planet twice every decade. It’s unknown as to why they are so sparse, though it’s theorized that the pollution and general desolation of their environments disables most of their ability to survive once they are exposed to the outside world.
On this topic; a Bracken is very fragile during the beginning of its life, displaying birdlike behaviors and croaking, rattling (a soft sound, one distinct to the Bracken species alone, typically described to sound like the click of one’s tongue and the scrape of bone against ceramic in quick succession) and huddling within its ‘nest’ until another creature appears, at which point a symbiotic relationship will be formed.
A Bracken cannot move easily on its own until after a week and a half has passed since its hatching. This is because it is still in the process of developing limbs solid enough to support its weight; a majority of its body by this point is still a buildup of roots, fungi, and plant life.
A Bracken, during its newborn phase, adopts the behaviors of those it is raised by until adulthood—after which, it wanders off on its own and usually into abandoned facilities, where they develop their common hunting behaviors. Few cases have been recorded wherein a Bracken chose to stay with those that raised it.
For example, regarding the Bracken’s behavioral mimicry, if it is raised by a pack of Eyeless Dogs, it will breathe deeply and slowly and hunch further than it usually will in adulthood. Its steps will be heavy, as though it weighs far more than it does (even though it is, truthfully, the size of a human child by this point), and it will occasionally clatter its jaws in a manner best ascribed as similar to a toucan, down to the sound alone. It is thought that the clattering behavior is used to mimic how the Dog’s large teeth click against one another during roughhousing.
A newborn Bracken can subsist off of sunlight for about one week before the demand for meat begins to truly kick in. If it is found before the ability to maneuver itself develops, the entity that will raise it will instead carry it regardless of any behaviors or aggression it should display instead. It is unknown if this occurs because of any unnatural influence from the young Bracken itself, or if it is simply instinctually hard-wired into the wildlife that they must care for the hatchling for however long it stays. Some have said that the strange behavior is rooted within the fungi developing in the Bracken's body; an evolved version of a parasitic fungus, engineered to influence another's thoughts during the war that took place roughly five hundred years ago which was since thought to have devolved into harmless forms over the years, regardless of the planet or environment. This is only a theory, however.

I saw the trailer for the new Fable game and, as much as I greatly dislike the SUPER-HYPER REALISM they're going for (like I genuinely hate it it's so unsettling to me, where's the Stylized Charm of the old games???), seeing all the comments on said trailer about 'Fable Going Woke' makes me want to Commit Crimes.
Like.
Tell me you've Never fucking played a Fable game without saying you've Never played a Fable game.
Now I want this new Fable game to be WILDLY successful just out of spite for these empty headed fuckheads.
#Fable#Fable 1#Fable 2#Fable 3#crow speaks#the crow speaks#I used to always play a gay or bi hero too#First husband was a pious monk#Second husband was an evil cultist#Third husband was a sweet little shopkeeper#Now I just want to play Fable again...#vent#rant#Also don't fucking get me started on the fact Fable 2 and 3 aren't on Steam#But my point is in the old Fable games you could be gay do crimes and also Everyone was 'Ugly' and that was part of its 'Charm'#Guess what Fable's been Woke ALL ALONG#Ok that's enough screaming into the void

i dont think ive mentioned this on here but when i was like 14 i saw a fake screenshot of total drama the ridonculous race that showed courtney and gwen as a team and their title was "the girlfriends" and, even though i had SEEN all of rr, i STILL gaslit myself into thinking gwourtney was canon
genuinely, i only learned that wasnt the case last fucking month. for like 4 years i thought they were dating. the ONLY thing that made me realize was when i didnt see rr mentioned ANYWHERE on gwens wiki page
#total drama#total drama island#total drama the ridonculous race#gwen td#gwen total drama#courtney td#courtney total drama#gwourtney#still so fucking hilarious i was able to gaslight myself like this#like i joke about gaslighting myself into thinking stuff like catney or moth dawn is canon#bc thats the only way i ever draw them#but i genuinely believed this was real for. no reason whatsoever???#i guess i was remembering them being friends in world tour#and then that one part of all stars where they were really gay for like 2 episodes then courtney had the chart#so i dont think its COMPLETELY unreasonable#for me to assume they couldve been dating

Fuck this. I just wish that stories were allowed to END, you know. No spontaneous seasons added on. No cliffhangers in the hope that the streaming service doesn’t cancel the whole show anyway. No hints of future movies in the ones that are supposed to finish off a story arc. No talks of actors coming back. No dragging up stories that were finished and done with over a decade ago and give them yet another movie.
I’m so tired.
#general pop culture I guess#what brought this up was Good Omens season 2#I never wanted a season 2 to begin with#the story was OVER#DO YOU KNOW HOW NICE IT WAS TO HAVE A STORY THAT ACTUALLY WAS OVER WITHIN SIX EPISODES#but like this goes for everything#Avengers Endgame being just one big ad for the next phase of Marvel movies and shows#the old Spiderman actors brought back for No Way Home#every single show that got cancelled on a cliffhanger#First Kill still could be a lesbian classic IF ONLY IT HAD A FUCKING END#and like we would have still flocked to the second season without the getting-together part of the plot you know we would have#and don't even get me started on Hollywood's fear of doing any original stories#so they just reboot old ones or make big brands sponsor the movie in a giant toy ad#because that's a whole other can of worms#related to this one but still other
