“ not every character can live ”

I agree, fuck the background characters. now give us back eddie.

[motzaxx]

nobody understands steve harrington the way steve harrington understands himself. and i mean this both in a ‘duffer brothers can’t comprehend his arc’ way and also in a ‘steve harrington’s arc over all four seasons has required an incredible amount of self-reflection, honesty, self-discipline, and intentionally made decisions which sometimes counter his gut instincts.’

essentially steve has sat and wrestled with himself and he KNOWS himself. genuinely knows himself in a way that literally no other on-screen st character even comes CLOSE to approximating. and i love him so deeply for it

[motzaxx]

me rolling up to the duffer brothers house to talk about eddie

[motzaxx]

the fact that steves gaydar is better than mikes is scary

[motzaxx]

also, I’m sorry, but how did Eddie being killed have anything to do with the plot except for refusal for one of the main characters to die? and by bats? really? that’s it? And Dustin had to sit there by himself and what, all of them collectively decided to leave him there? And only Dustin talked to his uncle? Like, ok, I’d rather see him deal with a whole trial and end up in jail then whatever the fuck that was.

[motzaxx]

that’s right
