After watching season three I’ve kind of completely been turned off from any future Steve/Nancy I just feel like that whole story line is so over? And looking back I don’t even remember how they were good for each other back then idk. Basically in conclusion I just want Steve Harrington to be happy.

#the callback to him breaking her heart in season two had me feeling all sortsa ways #I feel like Steve has reached a place where he doesn't need a gf to be happy #like he has his friends and he's accepted himself and hes just living his life #i may be totally wrong who knows #steve harrington #nancy wheeler #stancy #anti stancy #stranger things #stranger things 3 #stranger things season 3 #st3 spoilers

I just wanted to say that eleven and max’ developing friendship throughout the season is so important for el because max helps her figure out who she is, not mike’s girlfriend, not hopper’s daughter not 011 who was kept in a lab for as long as she can remember, but el the teen who’s just had a whole world of discoveries, possibilities and freedom opened to her.

highlights of stranger things season 3 (SPOILERS!!)

Mileven being uh… teenagers? Hooking up? What the fuck, they were like ten years old three minutes ago

‘‘THREE INCHES AT LEAST!’’

Hop scaring the shit out of Mike

‘‘My Nana might… die?’‘

‘‘Gross…’‘/‘‘I will never fall in love…’‘ SAME WILL SAME

I don’t know if Max and Lucas are officially a couple, but I love their dynamic anyway

‘’AHOY!’‘

Oh my god Robin is my new favourite character

‘‘How many children are you friends with?’‘

Erica constantly asking for ice cream samples. (me.)

I feel like the mayor is a kind of a way to mock Trump??? And that’s a very good job.

Nancy standning up for herself! I missed her POWER.

‘‘NO GIRLS!’‘

I DUMP YOUR ASS

Mike and Lucas being disgusting and laughing and Will being like ‘’ugh heteros’’

Will’s costume, I love my son so much

‘‘It’s not my problem you don’t like girls!’‘ fUck you Mike, but also thanks for confirming that WIll is actually gay

WILL IS GAY

‘‘YEAH,, SHITHEADS!’‘ Good parenting Karen

Max and El being the ULTIMATE DUO!

‘‘Who are you going to call? The police?’‘

‘‘Magnets’‘ ‘‘Magnits!’‘ ‘‘YEA YEA MAGNITS!!!’‘

That Alexey guy lol

I kind of shipped Murray and Alexey, sue me

‘‘…the machines in the farm where we kiddnaped you…?’‘

Alexey watching Looney Tunes

‘‘NO SHIT HARRINGTON!’‘

When Billy was choking El i almost had a heart attack

Last season El closed the gate with just her mind, and the Russians need an entire laser gun thing to open it again? ugh HER POWER

El openning doors and beating the shit out of them, like the good old times

ELMAX CUTE SLEEPOVERS READING WONDERWOMAN TOGETHER… MY HEART…

‘‘What is your problem?!’‘ Is it just me, or Winona was 100% Veronica there?

SCOOPS TROOP CARRIED THE ENTIRE SEASON IN THEIR BACKS

Like really, Steve, Robin, Erican and Dustin were a FUCKING POWERFUL SQUAD, they made the season 10000 times better

‘‘Yeah like… Scott Clark…’‘

‘‘Detective Byers’‘

Robin’s knee patch

‘‘I’m sorry is there anything you want to share with the class?’‘

Long ass shots with trembling lights and dead bodies on the floor, that’s peak stranger things

‘‘Marco?’‘ ‘‘POLO!”‘

‘‘Well he did ask for cherry’‘

‘‘No cherry no deal’‘

FAT RAMBO

‘‘i WONT FORGET YOU!’‘ ‘‘MOOOOOOOOOOVE!’‘

Is none looking for their god damn kids in this town

‘‘He said he’s going to kill all of you’‘ ‘‘oh well, that’s nice’‘

Robin and Steve acting dead drunk, and Dustin and Erica acting like their parents, that’s peak comedy

‘‘How many times dad? I don’t do drugs.. Only marijuanna’‘

‘‘It’s official, I’m never having kids’‘

Dustin and Erica really had the braincell in this season.

Joyce beating the SHIT out of the mayor, for no reason. that’s my girl

The kids getting locked in a house, holding weapons, that’s peak stranger things too

the toilet scene!!!!!

Scoops Troop should addopt Will because he’s having INCREDIBLY SMALL SCREEN TIME UGH

I was like ‘’ugh more boring romance between Robin and Steeve’’ but then… ROBIN IS wlw!!!! AND THAT’S WAY WAY WAY WAY BETTER THAN ANOTHER ONE BORING ROMANCE

We have two canonically lgbt characters, st said gay rights

And also Max is lowkey in love with EL???

‘‘..HER WHOLE KNEE CAME OUT, IT WAS SIX INCHEES IT WAS INSANE’‘ ‘‘You are not helping.’‘

DUSTIN AND SUZIE HAVING AN ENTIRE MUSICAL NUMBER WHILE THE WORLD WAS ENDING,,,

The last episode leaved me traumatised.

Like really traumatised.

I’m kind of glad El lost her powers and she can be a normal girl.

Also i’m SO sad and traumatised that i almost felt happy when i saw the good old demogorgon in the end of the last episode.

I never liked Billy like NEVER but i felt sorry for him.

Hopper… Hop…………………………………….why…..w….h…………y…

Hopper was like the spirit of stranger things, everything is going to be so different without him

Joyce is so broken, she can’t handle it and neither i can

WHY THEY MOVE OUT WHY WHY WHY I WANNA KNOW

Can you imagine how Mike felt, he spend the entire s1 looking for Will then s2 looking for El, and then he LOST THEM BOTH AGAIN

Everyone is crying and so i am

WILL AND EL ARE NOW SIBLINGS ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ MY HEART UWU

El lost her powers, Hop is gone, the Byers move out, i can’t even imagine how s4 is going to be

i m………………….. crying

#Hi yes this is literally everything I meant to say in my extremely long and wordy post #except it’s nice and concise #with actual quotes!#this post is beautiful #and I agree with it all #st3 spoilers

Season Three First Thoughts

Overall: Regardless of everything I say, overall I really liked the season. I feel like they did a good job of advancing individual character arcs and introducing/putting new character pairings together. Now for my brain dump of thoughts:

•Opening with Mike and Eleven making out made me uncomfy cause regardless of how long they’ve been dating they’re still just kids (young teens?)

•Discounting this, I hated the direction they took with Hopper on this. I think he was a total prick. Before when he was overprotective it was because he cared about El and that’s was clear but this time around they made him seem more like a typical washed up 80′s dad (à la Ted Wheeler)

•I’m not entirely mad about Hopper’s attempt to throw Mike off El because it brought the El and Max (elmax) friendship sequence

•I absolutely LOVED everything about El and Max in this season. What Max taught El about being her own person was so so important. One of the main reasons some people have a problem with Mileven is because they’re so co-dependent it’s unhealthy for kids and for El’s personal development (I agree!!). This storyline continued through the season of El realizing her worth on her own and how she should be her own person was probably one of my favorites

•Ima say it, Mike was a dick in a lot of moments this season, especially in the beginning with Hopper, sue me. However he is a teen boy and he still has a lot of growing up to do so it’s excusable

•I really hate how little Will was used this season (I may be biased, this blog is called “will-byers-appreciation” for a reason!). I feel like he was only there to feel left behind by his friends but come on the boy has been through enough

•I really don’t like how in season two Mike was the number 1 Will supporter and he always was there for him even when Dustin and Lucas had no idea was was going on and this season he basically blatantly didn’t care about Will. I know months have gone by but still, Mike shouldn’t have let himself have gotten so distracted by his girlfriend that he forgot his friends, regardless or not of if he loves her.

•Mike saying something along the lines of “you do don’t like girls Will” (more gaycoding?? who knows if we’ll ever get what we want)

•I feel like the Duffer brothers tried so hard to kill Byler this season and I’m :/

•Everything including Karen and Billy was disgusting, which goes without saying, but was filmed and edited in a really compelling way in that we really didn’t know what was gonna go down so the duffers did a good job working out how to portray that storyline

•Speaking of Karen, I loved her pep talk to Nancy. Karen stepping up like that was one of the highlights of the show for sure

•Nancy: every single scene in the Hawkins Post made me want to punch all those middle aged white men god they were such Assholes. The show did a good job of showing Nancy’s frustration and building the misunderstanding conflict between Jonathan and Nancy

•Jancy shippers don’t come for me cause maybe I didn’t notice anything but I feel like there were no real chemistry filled Jancy scenes? They just kept saving the other from getting beat up tbh

•I feel like a lot of the season was taken up but really long fight scenes which made some parts drag a lil

•Time for my absolute favorite part of the season: Steve, Dustin, Robin and Erica- the Scoops Troop

•I absolutely loved this whole dynamic and I found myself waiting for these scenes. Dustin really shone this season and I loved every minute of it. Erica was an amazing addition!! Dustin and Erica is the winning nerd friendship pairing to be honest

•Steve and Dustin!!! Incredible, beautiful, I love them. I feel like they reverted Steve back to a dumbass at the beginning of the season compared to him being kind of emotionally deep after the Nancy breakup in season two. It makes sense given he had his heart shattered and he built a wall back up in hopes to protect himself and find someone new. Dustin pushing this whole Steve and Robin thing is deliciously ironic now which is great.

•Steve and Robin: Best new dynamic. The entire bathroom scene as they’re coming down from being drugged was absolutely beautiful. I started tearing up. Steve being emotionally vulnerable and explaining his heartbreak and bearing his feelings for Robin just wrecked me. Then when he slid under the stall and looked at Robin and she explained how she never liked him and how she likes girls was so perfect. Dumbass Steve said “But Tammy Thompson’s a girl” and then realizing and being fine with it. You can see how scared Robin is and then how relieved she is when Steve is accepting. This is what’s coming out is like. The moment of panic is portrayed really well.

•Steve! Having! A! Badass! Smart! Lesbian! Best friend! Who! Is! Cooler! Than! Him! Instead! Of! Getting! Another! Half-Assed Love Interest Story Line!

•I am worried though that’s the duffer brother’s are giving us an openly gay character hoping to “satisfy” us so they can keep queerbaiting Will rather than making him gay

•The whole Murray x Alexie storyline wasn’t amazing and I loved every second of it. I was genuinely heartbroken when they killed Alexie he was shaping up to be one of much favorites

•Billy’s “redemption” at the end where El breaks through to him while retelling the childhood scenes he showed her and then he goes against the Mindflayer was expected but the way they did it was so heartwrenching I’ll give the obvious turn of events a pass. Hi, seeing Max cry over Billy Killed Me, that poor girl

•Finally, Hoppers death. Fuck you stranger things team. No matter how annoying Hopper was this season, how could you guys do that’s to El?? To us?? That letter just about killed me, I started loudly sobbing halfway through and I didn’t finish till twenty minutes later. I’m also not 100% sure he’s actually dead just saying...

•There’s more but this is already So Much so I’ma leave it at this as I literally just started typing and I haven’t even proof read it. I’m so sorry I didn’t mean for this to be so long but

•PLEASE! If anyone wants to discuss anything I said here or just the season in general please message me

TL:DR- I loved the Scoops Troop storyline, especially how they handled Steve/Robin. I loved the Elmax friendship and El’s character development independent from Mike. Alexie was basically my favorite. They should’ve used Will more and I’m mad they basically killed Byler

I know stoncy is a controversial dynamic,, bUT is it too much to ask for for Steve and Jonathan to at the very least have a conversation acknowledging how they both love and want what’s best for Nancy in season three? Must everything being a macho competition and a love triangle? I just want Steve and Jonathan to be friends pls suffer brothers let them be angst free

Some key things to keep in mind:

Nancy Wheeler is a teenager who doesn’t want to end up like her parents and is forced to keep secret the fact that her best friend was killed

Nancy Wheeler is grieving her best friend’s death and feels guilty about both her not being there because she was with Steve during Barb’s death and the fact that she has to lie to Barb’s parents for a year about whether or not Barb is alive

Nancy Wheeler is not a bad person for having complicated and conflicting feelings for two boys

Nancy Wheeler loved Steve Harrington but he was dismissive of her grief

Nancy Wheeler connected with and is falling for Jonathan who is better able to emotionally support her

Nancy Wheeler gets drunk while struggling with her grief and takes it out on Steve because he tried to get her to pretend it wasn’t happening

Nancy Wheeler thought she and Steve were broken up when he told her “I think you’re bullshit”

Nancy Wheeler hooked up with Jonathan after she and Steve had broken up

THAT SAID,

Steve Harrington is a teenager whose dad is a “grade A asshole” and whose parents often leave him alone

Steve Harrington genuinely loves Nancy but acts like a jealous dickhead through most of S1 with the encouragement of his shitty friends

Steve Harrington broke Jonathan’s camera after discovering that he took non consensual naked pictures of Nancy while she and Steve were having sex

Steve Harrington drops his shitty friends and goes to Jonathan and Nancy to apologize for his behavior and backs them up fighting the Demogorgan

Steve Harrington doesn’t know how to help Nancy through her grieving process, especially when he knows telling Barb’s parents could hurt both of them and their families

Steve Harrington thinks he’s helping Nancy by getting her to go to the party to take her mind off of Barb and her parents

Steve Harrington gets defensive when Nancy tries to make up because she wouldn’t tell him she loved him after calling him bullshit

Steve Harrington is obviously still jealous of Nancy and Jonathan’s relationship but tells her “it’s okay” and protects the kids regardless of if Nancy will take him back

AND THAT SAID

Jonathan Byers is a teenager whose brother went missing, whose mother was struggling with intense grief, and whose dad is a complete asshole

Jonathan Byers takes naked photos of Nancy without her knowledge or consent

Jonathan Byers apologizes for taking these photos and tries to help Nancy find Barb

Jonathan Byers gives Nancy a hard time over dating Steve and tells her she’ll end up like her parents

Jonathan Byers pulls Nancy back from the Upside Down and acts as a better friend

Jonathan Byers takes a near blackout drunk Nancy home from Tina’s party after Steve leaves upset

Jonathan Byers gets Nancy to investigate Barb’s death with him to help her get closure and find a way to tell Barb’s parents

Jonathan Byers hooks up with Nancy because they both want to

Point being,

None of them are completely in the wrong and none of them are completely in the right. But you can’t hate on Nancy, especially, like so many people do, because she didn’t meant to hurt Steve and she didn’t use him or Jonathan. She is a teenage girl in an unimaginably difficult situation, dealing with grief and feelings for two boys.

So stop talking shit on Nancy, and Steve and Jonathan aren’t all bad either.

/end rant.

#hi yes #this this this #I love posts that explore the stoncy dynamic #stoncy #season 2

Please watch Love, Simon

I saw the preshowing of Love, Simon just a few hours ago and I would like to talk about it (no spoilers of course). This movie was genuinely so heartwarming. It did a perfect job of introducing the struggles of teen homosexuality without making it angsty or hard to take. This is the kind of movie that kids will see and make them realize that it is ok to be who they are. It’s the type of movie that straight people will see and maybe understand a little more without being about to say it was “shoved down our throat”. So yeah, maybe the movie isn’t risky enough but it’s what the world needs. A normal gay coming of age story accessible to all. Everyone should see this movie, if you were considering boycotting it because it’s “just another white gay boy story” please please go see it. Everyone who sees this movie will come away with a smile on their face because we’ve finally broken through to mainstream. If this movie is a huge success, it will pave the way for further representation. With more poc lgbt people. With trans people. So even though this movie doesn’t have the most representation possible you have to start somewhere, and we’ve started with

Love, Simon.

#not stranger things #but it’s gay so #I wrote this on my main blog #seriously guys you need to see it #Love Simon
