higher, further, faster

made a tier list of my fav characters bc i was bored. I couldn’t get the whole thing to fit into one picture since it didn’t appear in my downloads for some reason…? and taking a screenshot couldn’t capture the whole thing so it’s in 3 pics but whatever

anyways it’s pretty self explanatory for the most part lol. steve is my fav and the best, and the party members below are the same (they’re just not Steve lol).

for will i was always kinda riding the line of neutral and dislike for him…? not bc of anything he did really but ?? idk he just never captured my interest. at least not until i just watched s5 and he got powers lol. idk if that’s what made him like a thousand times more interesting to me or what but after that i like him so much more than i ever did. one good thing about s5 lmao

as for nancy, kinda the opposite happened…before i watched s5 i did a full show rewatch and it just kinda hit me how shitty she could be as a character. i wanna like her, I really do, but man…

and eddie…from my first ever watch through of s4, it was obvious since the scene with chrissy that those two were dead. the death flags were literally everywhere like bob lol so i knew what was coming but he also just…kinda annoyed me? like majorly LMAO. the second time around he was more bearable but also I think fanfics helped with that lol. not that i even ship eddiesteve (actually seeing so much of that on ao3 the first time caught me so off guard tbh? like i get why after thinking about it but still) but i think that helped my tolerance of him lol. but tbh he wasn’t even there all that much during s4 anyways so it didn’t make too much of a difference either way

the parents. the stuff with the wheelers in s5 was interesting and i wish we’d gotten to see a bit more of the home lives of some of the other families and how they would’ve reacted if they found out about the upside down

there was so much potential with the numbers and with billy and the mindflayer that just didn’t happen and it highkey pisses me off majorly I don’t even know what to say

tommy, carol, and derek…I didn’t really like any of them but given their relationships with steve there is So much potential there for steve things that they get their own category lol (no, im not over the steve & derek hug and steve coaching his baseball team, actually)

the rest is obvious. im pretty neutral on most everyone aside from those already mentioned and those who i Majorly Dislike in that bottom category lmao

but literally the day after i posted that the fam did a stranger things watch since some of them haven’t seen it and i hadn’t seen s5

long story short im back on my steve harrington bullshit he is Consuming my brain (again)

personally don’t have as many like, writing thoughts or anything that for him like i did with finral but i might post like a tierlist or two. i like making those…

i already posted my s5 live-blogging commentary on bsky but i could cross post them here if i felt like it ig

so i knew we were getting to the end but that felt pretty abrupt to me, even if perhaps it shouldn’t have but whatever

lowkey we all knew what was gonna happen but it still all seemed resolved so quickly

and man it was kinda ship central there too…

obviously the best part of all the recent chapters was the finfin reveal🥹 (possible) girldad finral is real…

but I’ll be honest lowkey the funniest fucking thing about the ending is that asta/noelle was never confirmed that’s hilarious

noelle is nowhere near among my fav bc chars but it was getting crazy annoying seeing ppl everywhere be obsessed over her and asta even though he’s never given even an inkling of interest in her that way.

and if they’d been together in the end here it would’ve just felt so…perhaps not out of left field since half of her character is just her crush on asta, but moreso just…artificial i guess?

kinda like how they hinted at mereoleona and that one land of the sun guy (i don’t remember any of their names except ryu & ichika tbh im sorry the start of the spade arc was just a whole big downfall and sadly land of the sun arc was swept up in it).

like pure crack ship that was slapped together at the end just because. not that asta and noelle wouldn’t have had more development considering their friendship throughout the whole series, but with it being literally one sided throughout every single second, it would just feel the same to me, slapped together at the end just because.

but also speaking of ships, good fucking lord how and WHY did charmy and rill have like 18 kids what the fuck ??

but anyways who cares about that!! look at the few panels of my darling finral😌 though does it look like in the coloured panel that there’s less green in finral’s hair than usual? 😕

it’s only been just over a year…surely it could update one of these days…

was just scrolling pinterest lookin at finral stuff and

and in the anime at least (i can’t remember about the manga…i’ll have to try and look it up to see) they mentioned specifically that recovery magic cannot bring back limbs. and while the ear isn’t a limb like an arm/leg, it just makes me wonder of the limits of certain recovery magics🤔

iirc multiple recovery mages were needed to get him out of critical condition, so i’m guessing they each focused their magic on one major aspect that needed healing🤔 like owen focused on his head/brain, someone else focused on his organs, another on his arms, etc

but like if it’s not an arm or a leg, they must be able to regrow/reform body parts right? otherwise finral would be down at least one ear and whatever organs were destroyed by langris’s magic

anyways lol this is a ramble-y way to say what if they couldn’t and finral stayed in a coma in critical condition for much longer than he did and needed more care afterwards to deal with these new lifelong injuries🙂‍↕️

like look at this…

ty Pinterest for the side by side comparison. obviously the manga looks way better overall but i think the anime does a better job at conveying the one ear injury specifically

slight manga spoilers!! you’ve been warned

but these were coworkers from another office that ive barely spoken to and im such an introvert anyways i wouldnt have been able to interrupt them…
