even if conformitygate is real, the duffers had no right to talk that weird shit about their only queer couple, their only black girl character, torture a gay actor for 12 hours until he had panic attacks, and laugh about a “porn” joke made about a minor. i better not see yall glazing their asses

in 2022 mike is gonna hear glimpse of us by joji and kill himself

i— i just want noah schnapp to someday be able to play a gay character in a queer film or series where the writers actually respect him and respect the lgbt community enough for him not to have to settle for crumbs. i feel like all this enchantment and gratitude toward will’s story exists purely because he’s surrounded by heteronormativity to the point where he can’t even question the decisions made for will. or maybe he can, but just doesn’t have the courage to, because of the heteronormative environment he’s currently in. and that’s just way too sad.

Seeing that fuckass epilogue of Will in a gay bar and remembering how when Noah was asked where he saw Will in the future, he said that he'd be focusing on his painting (his passion, as he said) and have someone to share coffee with. THAT should have been his epilogue, it's insane that the Duffers seem to have no understanding of their characters compared to the actors.

They literally handed us Chekov's gun and then told us to shoot ourselves with it ig???

“Nothing is left ambiguous” bitch tf do you mean the entire goddamn story is ambiguous 😭😭😭😭

giving this its own post. they had Mike chose Human Cannonball, a song about a relationship that both parties were miserable in, then had Robin, who has spent the season as a gay mentor to the boy in love with Mike, tell him to choose a better one, and then had him choose Purple Rain, a song that includes the lyrics "I never wanted to be your weekend lover, I only wanted to be some kind of friend" and "It's such a shame our friendship had to end", and then played that while he kissed his girlfriend. they are forcing my hand into reading him as the most tragic closet case alive.
