SOBBING OMG U GUYS R SO SMART 😭

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but if you’re at a low point:

If you were a fictional man right now, there would be *at least* ten people if not a large portion of the fanbase that would call you their wet beast poor little meow meow

fellas is it gay when things like this happens? holding each other tightly while trying to stab them?

Oh and also can we all agree to boycott Stranger Things until they give us our queer ships or at least just one of them? Or at least just a coming out scene? Or at least until they stop using Will’s suffering to boost milkvan? Or at least until they stop turning concentration camps into tourist traps? Or at least until-

This is me right now like my faith is getting restored but at the same time I just rlly hate the Suffer bothers

It's funny and ironic because I'm reblogging hopeful things pro byler s5 and at the same time disappointing things that cut your hopes on byler in the bud haha... sorry i'm having a breakdown

“You attract what you fear.”

Ahhhh I’m so scared of getting a girlfriend oh noooo 😱

daemon stans when the man who beat his first wife to death and refused to let his second wife die at home surrounded by her loved one, put his hands on his third wife

Trans lesbians are lesbians :)

Like and reblog if your account is a safe space for trans lesbians. It feels like trans lesbians in particular get shamed and ridiculed a lot by people in and out of the community. If you’re reading this I want to let you know you’re valid and I hope your safe and doing well.

And also the way Barbie and Ken are role playing heterosexuality without any inherent sexuality of their own, without any understanding of what it means, or even any genitals at all! Just pretty-girl + handsome-guy = obviously a couple. And the way it fucks them both up! Because they’re both stereotypes, neither of them is a specialist version, no brain surgery or pilots license or Nobel prize for either of them. They’re just assigned the roles of Every Man and Every Woman. And Ken ends up doing Way Too Much because he’s hanging his entire self-worth on being important to Barbie. And Barbie just isn’t interested in him, she was assigned a boyfriend she didn’t ask for and doesn’t want and doesn’t know what to do with, just because that’s what society expects of men and women, that they will necessarily couple up and fall in love because… that’s what they do. Regardless of any personal quality of either party.

It’s about heteronormativity and amatonormativity and the unrealistic expectations society sets boys and girls up for from infancy. Barbie and Ken are every pair of toddlers sharing a sandbox while the adults around them call them each other’s little “boyfriend” or “girlfriend” even though neither party understands or is capable of understanding the implied meaning of that. Or wants to.

It’s a literal funhouse mirror of that weird pressure put on kids to perform heterosexuality from an early age. It examines how that leaves us unprepared for the complicated reality of actual relationships even if it turns out that you are heterosexual and do want sex and romance. Boys and girls aren’t really allowed to be just kids on the same team, so they grow up into men and women who generally want very different things from each other and are trained to look for it in everybody because anybody is better than nobody, and try to force it to work.

Barbie and Ken letting each other go in the end was perfect. Barbie the Every Woman realizing that she doesn’t have to be special, she just has to be, and Ken the Every Man realizing he has to seek validation elsewhere and lean on his fellow Kens for emotional support, WHICH THEY GIVE.

Truly a movie of all time.

No because literally what we’re they thinking

genuinely. there is something So disgusting to me about them building an entire season around

a villain who targets people who are already struggling and implied to be suicidal

the unjust demonization, alienation, and persecution of people who are different, namely those who are poor, neurodivergent, gay, etc.

and then those two building blocks of the season end with:

a poor, abused, suicidal teenage girl who fought tooth and nail to keep going ultimately being tortured to death and then stuck in a coma with all of her fucking bones snapped and her sight potentially gone

a poor (idk maybe gay maybe neurodivergent depending on how intentional you think certain things are) boy who only wants to fucking graduate high school and be a better person than his shitty father being falsely accused of murder, hunted down by people who want to kill him, painted as a coward by the narrative for making reasonable choices, ultimately dying a pointless death and being remembered as a murderer.

like. not to even mention the way that a gay kid's struggle with his sexuality and feelings for his best friend are ultimately just used to push that friend closer to his girlfriend. like. god i'll probably end up writing something more articulate about this later but i am So deeply disappointed and i don't understand why the duffers would choose to engage with these themes if This is how they were gonna handle them.

OMG AND APPARENTLY PPL R STAYING THERE OVERNIGHT FOR MONEY AS PART OF A STRANGER THINGS TOURIST THING?! WHAT

Guys I just found out that some of the scenes of Stranger Things were filmed at a concentration camp- and the fact that the lab children have the number tattoos- I-
