if there’s anyone who fell in love at first sight with el... it’s max
she was all nervous and excited upon meeting her and when you compare it to her first meeting with the rest of the party? she was only like this with el.
The brunette being closed off towards the other that's just happy to be in the same room with them but then developing a soft spot for them later in the season and developing a massive crush on them
El is wearing flowers if you didn't notice like she IS the flower, life, resurrection. We can conclude that her powers are not for killing people/her personality is actually meant to be a healer, cure or medicine. Like Owens said "I believe you are the cure"
Trinity's love saves Neo - besides the "No" that El always utters is the ST version of "Nyu" from Elfen Lied
Neo real world = Max ; physical representation of her in the Void, not the mind - her mind avatar looks fine in comparison to her physical self.
Neo Matrix = El ; actual "ghost" mind version ; blood stains on shirt from the mind battle, no blood stains in the physical world.
This btw proofs that El can't find Max not because her mind is empty since it is NOT minds that El sees in the Void but events. El is the only representation of a mind (her own) in the Void - I'll talk about this in another post.
Oh, and this for Ronance....
"Tangled" is confirmed, so is "Matrix" & "Beauty and the Beast" because those are on the inspo board (just can't find the image rn).
For ElMax you can technically also add "The Legend of Korra" which was mentioned by one of the writers. So, Korrasami, Belle & Beast, Rapunzel & Flynn, Trinity & Neo are four couples we can count as inspos for ElMax.
Seriously, shall I talk about what actual love triangles in Stranger Things are and what isn't and never was? Certain characters never felt romantic love for one another, they kinda just pretended to or talked themselves into it.
has anyone noticed how el and max both always wore long sleeved shirts, jackets, or multiple layers in s1 and s2 but wore short sleeves and tank tops in s3? the only season that they had someone else who saw the real them and when they became friends.
and the colors being vibrant in the only season they're together...
and then in s4, they're back to wearing long sleeves, jackets, and multiple layers. they're even back to wearing dark neutral colors like before.
el wearing a majority of blue but not wearing it when she reunites with max, when she finds the bottle her and max played the spying game with, during mike's monologue, and at the end (signifying she's not tied to mike anymore).
it's interesting how there's only small bits of color in el's outfits and max's only colorful outfit is the 'dear billy' one (and that was obviously intentional as it's the episode where she finds she's not alone and realizes her friends are there for her) which is a reference to s3 max, max finding herself again.
(elmax scenes in s4. notice how el isn't wearing any blue. she's wearing her white pants and white shirt with pink flowers on it, her new look. the all white with specks of pink, showing she's already becoming el who is independent, not el who is mike's girlfriend. and it's almost like the pink represents max, signifying that she's going to be el's main focus next season and el is going to be all about max instead of mike.)
(and no you can't say it's "because of the weather" "it's cold in hawkins" because literally other characters wear short sleeved shirts/tank tops so?)
My biggest and I mean BIGGEST pet peeve is when people get pressed that other people head canon their favorite characters as apart of the lgbtq community. This is mainly for the people all over my for you page who are saying they hope Wednesday doesn’t turn into Stranger Things meaning they hope that people don’t head canon their favorite characters as gay.  Like what is it to you? It’s not like it’s canon. It’s literally not affecting you in any way and excuse us for wanting representation. Let our favorite characters be gay to us. Okay? Don’t get annoyed at us for that.
