And what if I say the Stonathan jokes in the finale were intended to make fun of gay shippers...

and murray didn't even die fuck this

what's crazy is byler will probably be the main long lasting thing that survives from this show in terms of pop culture relevance because the fandom will keep creating amazing art and fan fictions and maybe even one day large scale media all inspired from byler. while the ga that they tried so hard to cater to will move onto whatever new shiny netflix slop is being pushed to them.

If you can’t handle having queer people in your show, don’t put the in. We don’t need representation by people who don’t know what they’re doing.

Yeah so no one ever let a straight person write anything queer ever again thanks

and like, whatever. we’ve seen this film before. and that’s what they’ll say, what I’ll surely say: that we knew, that it was guaranteed to disappoint, that it was delusion to think something like that would ever come true through Netflix, through the fucking duffer brothers. I made fun of it too. Loudly, and often. But there was a part of me that did, if fleetingly, really believe. i saw a world where this story could be told well, that something with this many eyes on it could do something grand and well written and brave. And I don’t think that belief was wrong to have. It spoke to hope for a better world. And yeah, this is silly to say about fucking byler, of all things, but let this motivate you. Create well thought out, good, queer art. Do it with the resources you have. Invest in your communities, and give back to them. Support small creators of art that moves you. Vote. Volunteer. You still have that hope. Take it, and move forward.

We all need to take the creative analyses that we saw potential for in Stranger Things and create our own slow burn queer sci-fi romance.

anyway. i’m being completely serious when i say that so many of you should be writing and publishing your own stories. if two mediocre white men can write a half assed story and get critical acclaim, just imagine what you can do

the point of fanfiction is that you can write whatever the fuck you want forever and no one can stop you. #thepower
