actually im gonna keep making posts complaining about steve’s characterization in volume 2 because it was genuinely awful.

for one, i think he Maybe spoke one word to dustin personally. he didn’t hug him or anything before leaving him to a dangerous situation, didn’t comfort him after eddie’s death, and just straight didn’t show any concern for him at all. that’s not a steve harrington thing. that’s just bad writing. volume 1 steve would be murdering volume 2 steve.

on the topic of eddie, there was no point in having steve tell him “don’t be a hero” before everything happened and then Not show steve’s reaction to him going out and doing just that: being a hero and dying for it. it’s lazy writing to start something and not show the outcome. maybe the duffer brothers were afraid people would keep pushing the steddie agenda. they’re cowards.

steve’s interactions with robin were just whatever. he let her run up ahead without any concern for her when they were LITERALLY IN THE UPSIDE DOWN just so he could have a dumb, out of character conversation with nancy. definitely a Choice!

and then literally don’t even get me fucking started on him and nancy. im a stancy hater because i will never get over season 2. this season has been trying so hard to force a stancy renewal that it’s kind of funny? there’s no reason for it literally at all. having steve talk about his six dream kids with nancy was so WEIRD. Where did that come from. How is steve still not even slightly over nancy. This is so bad. It’s so bad. I don’t blame nancy for getting super weirded out. can you even imagine being in that situation. What is wrong with the duffer brothers.

overall: They butchered my boy. Let him move on from Nancy. Let him be the bisexual he deserves to be. Give him more actual character development. Let him have a very very very near death experience. It was nothing but wasted potential to make his storyline so boring in volume 2.

Volume 1, Chapter 3, Page 4

You think he's looking lovingly at you - But it's nowhere near the truth - His mind is up to no good - Oh, just because you're in the same bed - He's with someone else in his head, not a second thought about you - Oh, there's no turning back

canot stop looking at my icon he's sooo cute ithink this is one of my favorite official don arts. look at these fucking creatures

do you guys remember a bit after volume one dropped and netflix geeked tweeted a picture of mike and what his four favorite movies would be, and the four movies were Stand By Me, The Outsiders, The Breakfast Club, and The Goonies. like that was INSANE 

happy to see the hgsn brainrot hitting LOL

it's hitting so hard

Okay, I just read Volume 20 of the manga and I have a lot of thoughts...but one that I really want to spit out is about Akutagawa's death.

During the fight, he CONTINUOUSLY brings up Dazai. How he wants Dazai's approval. How he's going to LIVE and make it back to Dazai. How he doesn't have much time left so he really needs that approval before he expires. Basically, him (ironically) associating living and Dazai together. To get Dazai's acknowledgement is to live.

And yet.

And YET.

His death wasn't an accident, at least not entirely.

Even Fukuchi acknowledged that from the beginning, taking into account the space-time sword, Akutagawa's plan was to let ONLY Atsushi escape.

Did Akutagawa know he would be instakilled? I think he strongly suspected it considering how Fukuchi was doing his best to kill them.

Essentially, what I'm saying is that provided all that context, Akutagawa basically CHOSE to die when throughout the whole fight his only thought was to live, live, live (for Dazai). The arc isn't over yet (and I honestly have little faith this will happen) but I'm gonna hope anyway that this is symbolic of Akutagawa finally letting go of his deep desire to live for Dazai's approval and maybe starting to build something new...a new reason to live?

As in, him choosing death - choosing ATSUSHI - was his way of saying, "Okay. I see only one of us can make it out...I can't fight this man and beat him (which he did say). I won't live for Dazai's approval now. I can't. So I'll instead choose to die so that there is a chance Atsushi can save the world and clear the Agency's name."

Basically, I'm playing on the age old death and rebirth motif to say Akutagawa dying for Atsushi rather than living for Dazai's approval is his way of growing from his past obsessions and perhaps beginning to build a new reason to live (by dying for it heh...).

HE SUCKS JONATHAN ON STAGE ?!???!!!!!!??????!!!!!????

I finally managed to finish Doom of Caras Gelebren and it was very good, but I'm laughing because you can pick out the exact moment where Amarthiel was consigned to long-distance soap opera duty for life. Like, this was probably her first assignment as a champion of Sauron and she got her ass handed to her on a plate. No wonder he gave her partner assignments in a Very Far Away Location from about TA 1300 through present day. Every weird, sort of inexplicable behavior from her can now easily be explained by the fact that two minutes into serving Sauron she told him she could beat Celebrimbor in a fight and promptly got knocked on her ass in ten seconds flat and she's still trying to get him to take her seriously again.
