maaaan I’ve really got my brain stuck on the lack of period/menstruation explicitly mentioned in st. bc that’s weird right??? like… I understand that a lot of any sort of vaginal imagery would be bc of the tie to birth, and menstruation is almost explicitly a lack of pregnancy so it’s like opposite but. it goes hand in hand you know? so why…

#and WHY is it bugging me so much lmao #especially given the amount of yonic/vaginal imagery #and I understand that it’s every much a reference to birth and motherhood so I don’t think #that me suddenly being fixated on wanting to figure out if any of it could be related to periods would hold much water #but just like. idk. periods as a signal to growing up. a loss of innocence. perhaps even a loss of purity #throw in some mothergate and making edward the ‘mother’ and putting a uterus in him #the kids in the lab being bred to create more powerful children #could el have been born sterile?#no period = no pregnancy = no more magic kids for brenner #or like. idk I’m really just stuck on the shot of her hands covered in blood and how it immediately makes me think of carrie #bc I’m like 99% certain there’s a shot of her with blood on her hands #and like. idk I feel like the el one might be more of a reference to general bloodshed #but like. that much blood? on HER hands? she does have blood on her hands in the sense of the saying. she has killed people #but like. is it just in the way of like. she THOUGHT she had blood on her hands? bc she THOUGHT she’d killed everyone?#but like. why have that shot when she says that out loud later #so like. idk. that shot is bugging me today #I love it I really love it. I love blood soaked hands but just. what does it mean #I went of track for a sec but like maybe it’s like. did she KNOW it was a breeding program when she was young? so she was dreading when #she’d get her first period. signifying that she was of breeding age?#maaaaan idfk lol #i say things #eleven #stranger things
