I just wanted to say I absolutely LOVE your Mike x Reader fanfics and I’m so excited for part 8! I just found out about this series last night and finished it within an hour haha. 😅 What did you think of the finale?!
aww thank you!!! working on part 8 now so it should be out soon!! :))))
slight spoilers below as i talk abt the finale:
i personally loved the finale. i’m a st finale supporter and i think they ended it really well. as someone who grew with the cast and the show from 13-22 i really, really resonated with the ending and i think the ambiguous ending about el allows the viewers to also find their own closure within the show like mike and they can either choose to believe him or create their own ending for el.
i don’t believe main characters needing to die was needed to make it emotional and it was emotional all on its own, and i’m actually really glad none of the main characters died. i think it proves that there are “stranger things” that happen and them not dying during any of things they’ve been through is a part of those stranger things.
the show ending with all of them playing d&d shows just what the show is about which is playing d&d with a group of people who aren’t really socially accepted, but it doesn’t matter to them because they’ll always have each other and love each other. friendship is a really big theme in this show through all the seasons and i think some people kind of forgot that and only focused on the ships of the show which is not the point of the plot nor the storyline. it started with d&d and it ended with d&d.
anyways that’s my soap box and i will always defend the finale and st 5 in general because i really enjoyed it after growing up with it and the characters :))
