Kids When They’re Offered A Prize For Drawing And Their Intrinsically Motivation Leaves Their Bodies.

soulmates but not in a soft romantic way soulmates in a destined to change each other for better or for worse, cannot be who they are without each other, unstoppable together but they’re also the only ones who can defeat each other, equals, existences undeniably tied to each other way

Maya, Joe, Joseph, Noah, and Finn really be carrying this show on their backs

ever since maya and natalie have been talking about leaning into ronance & joseph quinn has been saying a lot of things about how he changed eddie’s characters from the original creation done by the duffer brothers (his rings, being more friendly than mean, his queerness), i’ve been thinking a lot more about the way that fandom perceives writers opinions v actors' acting choices.

i think that fans tend to value the opinions of writers more than actors because we have been taught by some fandoms *cough cough* that actors' decisions are unimportant. when in reality, i think characters' personalities heavily come from the way the actor plays them and perceives them. this is very evident in joe and maya discussing the bathroom scene in s3 and joseph creating eddie's image.

no way in hell the duffer brothers intended for eddie to be a queer character. they have shown time and time again they don’t care about queer characters, let alone enough to make them well-written queer characters. however, joseph has stated that he intentionally played up eddie's attraction/flirtation to steve because he thought it fit his character.

i think in fandom we’re very easily dismissive of ourselves and our interpretations of media because we’ve been so harmed in the past by creators and writers of shows. i think a lot more emphasis needs to be placed on the way that actors interpret characters, because generally they are the ones that know the best since they play them.

this was long and rambly but heavily inspired by @wastedonyoursmile 's post about the duffers & queerbaiting.

the irony of Mike and Will hiding in a closet together during the apocalypse is just too good the duffers have to use it please I would laugh so hard lmaooo

Labour by Paris Paloma was written for Alicent Hightower btw.

no cause this and like also why did Noah need to wear a harness and why was the painting so anticlimactic and where was the mixtape and where were the five deaths and where was the shocking romance and why didn’t they read Max’s letters and why did El become a Necromancer randomly and why-

we didn’t even get the “love, ____” letter. what the fuck.

every time i see a female character garner lots of hate she immediately becomes my favourite and i take my role as her defence attorney
