Hey Nancy, can you tone down the blushing and kicking your feet? All she did was agree to be officially friends and you're being a little embarrassing

stranger things is a very “show, not tell” type show. were never told explicitly that max is suicidal, or that billy was being racist to lucas, or that nancys problems at work were because she was a woman (although they got veryyyy close). were shown these things and pick up on them instead of the show telling us whats going on

this is especially true with relationships. lumax, jopper, and jancy all never say they love each other, but if you ask anyone out there if lucas loves max, then theyll tell you of course he does, how could he not? everyone can just see how much they care for each other, we dont need them to say it

so why is it that with mileven, they have to have mike have this grand declaration of love to eleven for both her and the audience to believe he loves her? why is it that the only ones who need the verbal confirmation is them, when every other couple follows the “show, not tell” format? why is it that the only other couple that follows the verbal confirmation issue is stancy, who didnt end up together?

this whole “show, not tell” thing almost reminds me of something, what was it… something about not saying it, but not having to?

Nancy and Jonathan willingly said "there's only one bed" and y'all think they AREN'T endgame???

I'm still not over this parallel 😭

I'm here just to remind you that this was said years ago.

Very tragic that we never got to see Luz and Hunter kick Philip's ass like it was set-up in TTT... we never got any payoff for the Lunter hints in SAI and the Caleb/Evelyn parallels that were established in HP and made more apparent in HM... very disheartening that TOH got cancelled after TTT aired, now we'll never know how it ends 😔

when cirie's answers to most questions in her post-eviction/jury interviews averaged 1-15 words max, but she gave a whole sermon on how grimy and disgusting felicia was in the house, i knew then that they probably wouldn't be besties post-season. 💀 so felicia saying cirie hasn't spoken to her isn't surprising to me.

There will never be a more beautiful moment on tv I love this episode so much cause June went and took power back that they tried to take from her she was like nope if Nick’s gonna get me pregnant it will be on terms

Is it just me or do some Bylers reach way too hard to defend Mike for things he was objectively wrong for? Like the rink o mania thing is a perfect example, Will was not being bitchy (onscreen) at all to Mike until the argument where Mike was the one who started it by blaming Will for not telling him about El’s problems. Mike was being a huge asshole there, which even he noticed and said Will didn’t deserve the way Mike treated him. He then apologized and Will accepted it because Will knows that Mike was genuinely remorseful and that he wanted to be best friends again. I hate to say this bc 99% of the time it is deeper than it looks but for this I just don’t get how you can watch and think Will was actually in the wrong.

i do enjoy a good reach and i get not wanting one character to be 100% in the right and one character to be 100% in the wrong in an argument and i don't even think mike was 100% in the wrong at rink o mania but when you back up a bit...what did will do wrong exactly lol.

do we agree with mike that he was a douche for...not telling him that el was being bullied? nonsensical. he didn't even know she was lying to him before the airport.

was he wrong for barely talking and basically sabotaging the whole day? a day el said was supposed to be about the two of them, making will third wheel and feel like shit just like in the beginning of season 3 and for months before that? right...because that makes sense.

was will in the wrong for not calling mike and for making it sound like it was his fault they didn't keep in touch? this one i can get behind but he would have let that go (the painting being a welcome gift doesn't scream resentful) had mike not made it clear that he wasn't interested in anything he had to say by...rejecting his hug, agreeing to the whole day being about him and el, ignoring him save for the vomit green joke, And not calling for months. if the first three hadn't occurred maybe will wouldn't have felt the need to defend himself when mike started a fight because he didn't tell him his gf was being bullied like he's their couples counselor or something

it's like you said mike literally starts the fight and then deflects (twice) and Then he apologizes...idk!

long-winded answer but how exactly was will being a dick lol. i know he apologizes for being mean to him and for pushing him away in the van scene but when exactly on march 22, 1986 was will mean to mike. i can see the pushing him away because he didn't call but he said he deserved the fight and admitted to being a jerk to el (literally HOW. when) and wouldn't let lucas apologize to him in season 3 so i'm not taking his self-deprecating martyr word for it SORRY

it's especially funny when you remember that mike trying to call will is a THEORY

Kinda gay

bff @arrowmntic and I designed some bots! A couple of personal favorites and some newbies because we’re obsessed

In the Hawkins Yearbook Jonathan's favorite class is English Lit. Nancy's first period is English lit. In 2x01 she tells Steve it's only been an hour since they saw each other. Jonathan and Nancy leave the same class...

EVERYONE GIVE IT UP FOR JONATHAN "SIMP" BYERS

oh look an endgame picture of my elden ring paladin and he's wearing clothes

Kind of want to new game+ him kind of want to start all over and relive the journey, kind of want to leave him here at the end game and not revisit until the dlc comes out. Decisions decisions.
