PSA to non-black fans of stranger things. lucas sinclair\caleb mclaughlin is a beautiful dark-skinned black boy. he is not light-skinned. nor is he in between or medium. he is a dark. skinned. black. boy. you got that? 

so when you make your moodboards or castings or art of lucas or whatever please keep in mind that whatever celeb you pick isn’t light and bright because lucas is DARK and LOVELY. for instance reece king and keith powers I’ve seen them be used one too many times.

do you ever look at caleb’s instagram stories or posts? if you do, you’d notice that he uses the last skintone for any people/hand emojis he uses. he uses the darkest skintone because he knows he is DARK. also? not all black people look alike. we generally have ’like’ FEATURES (noses, lips, hair etc.) but we do not. look. the. same.

so any celebrity you pull out of your ass that only looks like Lucas in terms of skintone? nah. you can keep that shit.

ignoring these blatant and obvious facts is pushing aside lucas’/caleb’s validity as a dark skinned black boy. also guess what? it’s an ugly form of racism as well. if you don’t care enough to try and take these things into consideration? then just leave lucas sinclair alone. just leave him be.

and it doesn’t matter if you do this/have done this intentionally or unintentionally. just don’t. learn and change. or don’t learn, don’t change and be a dick.

after seeing the It Extras… the main thing that stuck was when eddie pulled this little move for absolutely NO reason

Richie: RICHIE YES!

Ben: Richie, no!

Richie: Richie MAYBE!

Mike: Richie, no.

Eddie: nerd

Richie: son of a bitch

Eddie: piece of shit

right?? and eddies death scene is such a powerful scene for so many reasons; he literally sacrificed himself for his friends, the only ppl he ever truly loved, and he dies before he can finish his final words. which are directed at richie !! the whole dying before they can finish speaking trope isnt written when the dying character is just spouting nonsense. or saying something insignificant. its used when theyre saying something important, but also something that the protagonist, or whoever theyre speaking to, needs to figure out themselves. 

like when its used with plot points, the dying character might say “the key that youve been looking for…i know where it is…its in the castle…near the…the…” and then die. so they give the protagonist some information, but not all, bc the protag needs to do the rest themselves, have their own journey/their own arc. find the key. but those dying words are always the first step. theyre the push they need to start the journey.
