I try not to get overly mad about the capitalistic shit show that was season five but WHY THE FUCK did we not get ANYONE ELSE except for Lucas actively grieving Max? Do you know what I would have given to see Dustin break down in Steve’s arms because TWO of his best friends were gone? Or Will practice on a dusty skateboard, do a trick, look behind him beaming only to see a vacant space where Max once was? Or watch Mike sob alone in the dark, dreadful hours of the night because he hasnt let himself grieve her properly, so he has to do it when no one can see? Or EL! Watch as El turns to laugh with a best friend that isnt there, throw on dull clothes because she’s outgrown the ones she bought with max, scream and scream and scream as a room is ripped to shreds as she remembers for the millionth time that she couldn’t save her best friend? Do you, duffers? DO YOU? Fuck this shit and fuck the duffers
