I genuinely don’t get people who are invested enough in Stranger Things to write meta, fic, theories, etc., but who seem to hate every character who’s not sufficiently “fun.” It’s one thing for my aunt, who as far as I know has never set foot in fandom, to feel that way. Even if you’re a bored TV critic who has to watch a ton of stuff for work, I kind of get it. But if you’re spilling that much metaphorical ink just for the love of the game, don’t you want the characters to take shit seriously? Especially when the stakes are seemingly the end of the world?

(Also, do you not understand how horribly grim comedy can be when everyone’s a wacky one-liner machine? The serious characters are a valuable part of the comedy ecosystem.)

#granted my personal taste is such #that I usually dislike when shows that aren’t primarily comedy #try too hard to be funny #it’s the Cheesecake Factory effect #they’re trying to do too much and none of it’s great #I miss season one #which had the balls to go #this is a child’s funeral #this is the worst thing that has ever happened to Joyce and Jonathan and Mike and Dustin and Lucas #and within the horror adorable baby Dustin is going to be hilariously peeved by off-brand cookies #that’s life! there is grief but also no real nilla wafers

he says i hate everyone except you and that is addictive and that is kind of romantic and beautiful because you're young and you're kind of a sarcastic asshole too and you don't like bad boys, per say, but you don't really like good ones either. and you like that you were the exception, it felt like winning.

except life is not a romance book, and he was kind of being honest. he doesn't learn to be nice to your friends. he only tolerates your family. you have to beg him to come with you to birthday parties, he complains the whole time. you want to go on a date but - people are often there, wherever you're going. he's just so angry. about everything, is the thing. in the romance book, doesn't he eventually soften? can't you teach him, through your own sense of whimsy and comfort?

at first - you know introverts often need smaller friend groups, and honestly, you're fine staying at home too. you like the small, tidy life you occupy. you're not going to punish him for his personality type.

except: he really does hate everyone but you. which means he doesn't get along with his therapist. which means he has no one to talk to except for you. which means you take care of him constantly, since he otherwise has no one. which means you sometimes have to apologize for him. which means he keeps you home from seeing your friends because he hates them. you're the single exception.

about a decade from this experience, you'll type into google: how to know if a relationship is codependent.

he wraps an arm around you. i hate everyone except you. these days, you're learning what he's actually confessing is i have very little practice being kind.

#i used to think it was romantic too and then i was like. now i see it as a HUGE red flag #writeblr #it is also almost EXCLUSIVELY said by immature ppl who think this is normal #fyi even if u think it's funny and ur like 'im an introvert it's just TRUE' like. you need therapy (ily tho)#healed introversion is just ''i would prefer to be by myself'' not ''i hate every person'' ... hate is not normal. that is not healthy #im sorry. i know it feels accurate. but if you're walking around with that kind of rage....#1. you're making a LOT of assumptions about every single person u have ever met. which is often unfair and unkind #and also usually involves judging people based on their worst moments or little mistakes #2. you are being unfair to the person who is ur ''exception''#3. there is a VAST difference between ''ur my favorite person'' and ''the ONLY person i like.''#idk i think this is just a personal bias thing tbh #im sure there are people who have this experience normally #but i have YET to find a man who thinks like this and ISNT absolute DOGSHIT. although tbh.... like. im sure he exists #when u hit like 30 some of the things that were once kind of hot now just sound fucking exhausting. like ''im in a band''#edit in the tags: i used to kind of be like this too. but the thing is that like. my life became so much more peaceful #once i started believing that people are generally good. like yes i am mad at the world at large #but it's just.... a very hard way to live. you're not a bad person or wrong for the ways other people hurt you and taught you to be angry.#but that anger will continue to hurt YOU. it will punish YOU. it will prevent YOU from making new deep connections. it will protect you yes #but it will also cause MASSIVE blowback. bc if you lose the One Person... your life will fall apart. i know this personally.#i really recommend just trying to be... cautiously optimistic instead. like. yes #people can be horrible and cruel and there are some communities (incels for example) that aren't worth that optimism #but i think like... most people will hold a door for you . most people want to help you find your wallet .#i hope one day you are able to find peace. i hope that rage eventually smooths over. i know how hard it is PERSONALLY #and i know what must have happened to you. and im deeply deeply sorry we share the same wound.#but i promise - sometimes we all need someone else to help us carry the weight. eventually the rage has to die so that we can let help in #i had to spend years biting at outstretched hands. i still often do. im still very wary . and my heart breaks that you flinch too.#here's the thing: i don't blame you. but we were both acting out of fear and pain. .... not out of healthy behavior. and ... change #was needed. i needed change too. rage was useful for a while. then it just left me isolated and bitter. i had to (with effort)#choose to let that rage go. and let people in . VERY SLOWLY THO LOL

I could go on bout Class of '09 and its writing but my main takeaway from that game is that they missed the chance to replicate the 2000s Teletoon era style of cartoon like your 6teens, Stoked, Detentionaires. Total dramas, etc

#class of 09 #class of 09 the re up #redesign #was watching my friends play and like theres some funny moments but I think its #too try-hard offensive and once you know it loves to be shocking its easy to predict where things go

realistically i know that if caleb is actually a ghost and not a goop-induced hallucination and hunter interacts with him in the finale it will be like. viscerally upsetting for everyone involved. but also. i want them to two spidermans

do u see the vision.

#caleb wittebane #toh hunter #toh spoilers #toh #the owl house #ghost caleb HAS to be funny. because if it's not it's too fucked up to think about.#he is sorry that his face is like that. like he's not TRYING to scare hunter #but when you've been a grim reminder of the inevitability of death and retribution for 400 slutty slutty years #some habits are hard to break.#caleb completely stone faced and covered in blood: youre doing amazing sweetie #hunter:

You think just anybody can qualify for a crush on Superboy? There's a vetting process. You have to submit an application to the board.

I continue to draw the silly bits of Frequency (this one is from Chapter 5, if context is a thing you like to have)

#my art #dc #Young Justice #young just us #core four #frequency fic #too many thads au #tim drake #cassie sandsmark #kon el #conner kent #bart allen #thad thawne #thaddeus thawne #on the whole Frequency is probably a drama? genre wise?#but every once in a while i will write something that i think is funny and convince myself its a comedy #also enjoy the handwriting im trying to get better at quick n messy sketches so apologies if its hard to read

my guy pretty like a girl & he got fight stories to tell; i see both sides like chanel

#death note #horreurart #mello dn #near dn #mihael kheel #nate river #meronia #mellonear #TWO THINGS: 1. here. have a kind of failed attempt but ultimately a step in the right direction re: letting go of art #look how uuuhhhhh i barely even shaded anything <- trying really hard to loosen the grip i have on professionalism and finished illustratio #THE OTHER THING: at this point i feel the need to explain the reason why these anime boys have me by the throat is because me n the bestie #decided to rp them on a whim. and now we are in too deep. this isn't any less embarrassing #but it DOES add context #caption is frank ocean 's chanel. it almost was STEAM BOTH SIDES OF THE L but i refrained because it was too funny and ruined the vibe #<- bravely killed darlings. anyway i listened to chanel a lot drawing this i'd like to think the vibe transfered.#in my mind they feel the same

I have to ask what drew vasco into falling in love with machete?

His snivelling runt ways were just that irresistable.

#no they were best friends first #it wasn't love at first sight #I think Vasco just gradually noticed that Machete is sincere and kindhearted and genuinely tries to be a good person #and it's hard not to appreciate that Vasco is known for having those qualities too his are just a lot more evident #he's an one person dog but when he gets attached to you he's fervently dedicated loyal caring and supportive #he's perceptive thoughtful and a good listener #sensible highly responsible and keeps his promises #does his part or dies trying even if no one is there to notice #he's learned knowledgeable and a lot more sharp-witted than people give him credit for and infodumps as a love language #their interests and ideologies overlap or at least complement each other #he has problems but really tries to do better and never takes any help he's given for granted #he always dresses well smells nice and has soft pettable fur #and he can be kind of funny and cute in his own dorky way #and Vasco sees how his presence continuously brings out the best qualities in him #and cherishes the fact he can be such a positive force in someone's life #answered #anonymous #Vaschete lore

The tiles are no longer white, and the bathroom looks compressed and scintillated; hotspots of light blare in seething oranges, corners buzz in deep purples, noises manifest in confusing patterns that obscure other patterns. It hurts. The tiles aren’t white anymore. Nothing is quiet. The colors pour in. Shigeo is tired of color.

another scene from rainspeak ! suffered a bit with the colors but i don't ,, Hate this, so up it goes <3

#qkdraws #id in alt #if u tag this as reim*b i'll fucking skin u #i rly enjoyed writing this scene it was rly fun #and hey ! this is the scene i mentioned i wanted to try but wasn't going to cuz i didn't have the skillset yet #uhmm fuck past jay :/ i drew it anyway #i didn't try too hard on the perspective i know it's a bit wonky #but personally i think that adds to the theme <3 #reigen is so funny i Know this is a serious scene n all but .is he even capable of not wearing suits #he's like a kid's cartoon character with his One outfit in all circumstances. like the other characters wear other shit #him tho ? in my head he is Always wearing the suit. i'll break the time space continuum if i put him in anything else #mob psycho 100 #mp100 #mp100 mob #mp100 shigeo #shigeo kageyama #mp100 reigen #reigen arataka #eyestrain #cw eyestrain #eyestrain cw

[I.D. three screenshots of ghost files where shane gestures to a mattress and says "-youre not responding to the fact that she said mattress when you walked up to the mattress. what are you fucking high?" end I.D.]

#lane speaks #THIS PART WAS SO FUNNY 😭😭😭😭#shane was trying SO hard to get ryan to understand how solid that evidence was but he could not be wavered fghkjhgkj #like even shane's little 'UH 😨' when the ovilus said mattress bc even HE COULD TELL that's a wild coincidence #but ryan was too busy making weed jokes jhfgdsjgkj #ghost files #watcher #ghost files spoilers #i guess
