no heart is safe

Shout out to Steve Harrington for apparently being the only genre-aware person in the Hawkins group, grabbing something to defend the group as soon as they hear a weird noise, poking stuff around with an oar, not letting the cursed girl spend too long on her own… and when Dustin mocks him, he snaps back, “considering the people in this room have nearly died about half a dozen times, I don’t find it funny”. He’s so right and he should say it. Steve KNOWS he’s in a horror film and he’s built to be the final girl.

Too many people talking abt Will Sad Gayboy Byers being heartbroken by his unrequited crush on his best friend and not enough of you talking abt how his big brother clocked it immediately and then gave him an impassioned speech abt how he loves him unconditionally and nothing will ever (meaningful eyecontact) ever change that and Will smiling and softly weeping as they hug bc he knows that no matter what he'll always have his brother.

Alright alright alright now I am first in line to say that Mike's character was a little bit destroyed this season. BUT. Credit where credit is due. El's love language is clearly words of affirmation if not others and so she needs to hear Mike say he loves her. HOWEVER. While she's worried cause he's written "From Mike" for the millionth time on the flowers, the poor boy is rambling about how they're her favourite colours while also wearing her favourite colours. Poor Mike is trying to express how much he loves her in his own love language. Plus have you met Ted Wheeler, no wonder Nancy and Mike struggle to say I love you they're a bit emotionally crippled.

yeah no shit vecna is going to sense when will returns to hawkins the [emotional synth music playing] follows him everywhere it’s like he’s a walking boombox
