#‘why would i even WATCH this episode if these characters arent even in it ‘ choke

hi! just wondering how (or if) your opinion on volume 2 and s4 on the whole has shifted since you first watched it, since I know I've reconsidered and realised certain things since it dropped. (this is in regards to the season in general, not just byler btw). also hope you're doing well <3
i think character wise there are some flaws, but if we’re just talking about the supernatural plot in hawkins alone i think its by far their best season, the cgi for people getting vecna’d, the set design of the mind lair and the upside down, the bats, the makeup for vecna, it in my opinion skyrockets anything theyve done before.
this was my favorite villain. i liked that it had a backstory and could talk and get in peoples heads. previously its mostly just been faceless monsters, which i always loved, but this one just adds such a cool element to it. i also absolutely LOVED that they brought back the og monsters in russia!! the demogorgan the demodogs the mindflayer i loved seeing them again. i like how everything connects and its not like “now this guys coming after you!!!” i like how they kept the hive mind thing a huge part of the story.
going off of that, another one of my favorite parts is how many callbacks there were to season one. i fucking love how running up that hill played a similar role that should i stay or should i go did. and there was so much else. the lights!!! i LOVED that we learned how will communicated with the lights and the lite brite was a genius way to show them talking. the compasses messing up the electromagnetic field, el having another isolation tank bath, even just the energy level of excitement for dnd again. i loved it. it felt like stanger things.
and there were a lot more subtle things like that too. they reused so much of their old score tracks and they did it at really cool parts. like they played the track for for the lights that played when joyce first put all the christmas lights up. that one im sure a lot of people noticed but i watched s1 after volume 1 came out and i noticed that after el lifts mike up from the cliff at the quarry and they play that epic song, she falls and then tells mike that she opened the gate and that shes the monster. and they played the same track in episode 7 when we see her opening the gate!!!!!!!! thats so fuckin cool!!!
i am the most impressed by this season by far but yeah there are some criticism i agree with. the kids shouldve had a funeral for eddie, i wish will had more of a supernatural plot (i was really hoping when vecna had el choked in the mind lair and he was explaining his backstory he would start talking about how will was his first victim and why :/), i didnt love argyle, and obviously im extremely disappointed in what theyve done to mike. if they didnt wanna go with byler then ok i can live with that but then he should have hugged him for real at the airport and not exclude him for el again. i also dont at all understand the purpose of their “you dont love me anymore” fight if he genuinely does love her. it seems like bylers still happening based on some stuff but if it is, he shouldnt have said he loved her. i say that mostly for els sake than for byler.
its like when a new album by your favorite band is coming out and all the singles that came out before the album are AMAZING and youre so excited to hear the rest and then the album comes out and the rest of the songs arent as good as those singles and youre kinda sad but you still call it your favorite album because those singles are some of the best songs theyve ever made and they takeover the rest of the album. in this case the singles are all the amazing scenes, cgi, cinematography, set designs, acting (sadie!!), etc. and the less great songs are some of the character development (not all. lumax was amazing).
despite everything its still my favorite season. i fell in love with this show originally for the scifi story and this seasons scifi/horror plot is the best theyve ever done by far.

Oh God
TimeTraveler!Son x Haikyuu!! Part 2
a/n: hehe i wouldnt put ‘x haikyuu’ if manager y/n ends up with that certain character. youll just have to,,,, wait for the end 😏
Tumblr media
he didnt want to lie but he had to so he could survive
hinata offered his hand to help him up and natsu winced at the scratches and the slight headache as he stood on his two feet
‘you okay?’
hinata asked and natsu nodded
‘yea, just a headache’
natsu tried to play it off as cooly as he could bc this must’ve been from the car hit before and he couldnt just say he got ran over by a damn car
‘where do you live? i can go and treat your wounds there’
natsu was about to respond but he remembers hes not in tokyo anymore and he cant just spout out his address
so he did the thing his mom told him to do whenever it was necessary
he lied
‘i-um,,,’
he fumbled for an excuse but he sighed to maintain the act
‘i got kicked out’
he mumbled and hinata had to make him repeat it twice because he said it so quietly
the tangerine boy gasped and held his arms
‘what?! why?!’
natsu sniffled
‘my dad,,,, he just,,, doesnt want me’
well, that was actually true
so a true statement could equal that lie, right?
thankfully, hinata bought it and he grabbed his arm to walk forward while his other was pushing his bike
‘i hit you with my bike so the least i could do is take you to my house and treat you!’
and that was what they did
natsu’s phone was dead even though he was sure he charged it from denki’s powerbank during practice but it remained its black screen no matter how many times he hit the power button
his surroundings was also something unfamiliar
his mother only kept him in tokyo and never took him to go visit her family because she was kicked out and had to go live with her auntie when she found out about him and his father refused to help her
‘so, sendai, huh?’
he mumbled and hinata looked at him confused
‘sounds like youre not from around here. where you from?’
‘t-tokyo’
he replied and saw hinata’s eyes brighten
‘oh?! you look like youre my age so you must have been in a high school in tokyo, right? what school?’
‘yuuei’
‘hah?! yuuei?! what is that?!’
natsu rolled his eyes and shrugged
‘a school’
hinata persisted though
‘do you know other schools?! any other school friends?! like nekoma?! or fukurodani?!’
natsu shook his head and he was supposed to be happy that he got to meet, even talk, to his idol yet his younger self was much more hyper than his mellowed out behavior on tv
‘i stick to my friends from yuuei’
‘but what are you doing all the way here?’
natsu’s throat dried up and he watched his feet kick the pebbles to distract him of his urge to just whine and throw a tantrum with the confusion from this mess
‘i dont know’
he choked out and he was so tired and confused and all he wants to do is cry in his mother’s arms like he used to but she doesnt even know he exists
hinata sensed the tension and sadness from the boy beside him and tried his best to stay quiet until they get home
to say his mom was angry was an understatement
‘SHOYO, DONT YOU KNOW TO WATCH WHERE YOURE GOING?!’
‘kaa-san i was so angry and bakageyama was yelling at me and hit me and-’
‘THAT DOESNT GIVE YOU AN EXCUSE TO RUN SOMEONE OVER!’
natsu sat there on their couch awkwardly watching the black-haired woman yell at the human tangerine
he coughed in impulse and she turned away from her son and went to sit next to the h/c boy
‘dear, im so sorry for my son and his terrible biking. i didnt catch your name when you entered, what is it?’
even hinata forgot to ask his name but thats such a hinata thing to do though
natsu froze
if he was to say his mother’s last name, it would raise suspicion that he might know her in this time period and izuku has shown him enough doctor who to show him what happens when he messes up in time
again, he lied
‘kiri,,,shima,,, natsu. kirishima natsu’
he inwardly apologized to eijirou for using his last name
mrs. hinata raised a hand to her mouth with a surprised gasp
‘oh! my daughter’s name is also natsu! natsu, dear! can you come here for a second?’
natsu heard soft sounds from the stairs and she shyly walked down 
‘come say hi’
she softly urged her daughter to come closer and the little girl ran to hide behind her older brother who gently smiled and held her hand
‘well, thats her. she just turned 10 a few days ago. look dear, kirishima-kun has the same name as you!’
she waved slightly and natsu felt his heart swell at the sight of the adorable little girl
his mother never really had time for relationships so he was an only child and never got to experience a sibling, only hearing the experience of having siblings from his friend, shouto
mrs. hinata placed a gentle hand on his arm to revert his attention back to her
‘shoyo told me what happened and im sorry that this is all happening to you’
he felt guilty at the sight of her sad eyes because this was all a lie but he knew if he told them the real reason, they wouldnt believe him
so he had to continue with the lie
‘everything was falling apart and i wanted to leave everything behind. so i just took the shinkansen to nowhere and ended up here’
mrs. hinata felt her heart tug because he was just a little boy and he was too young to experience this so she offered him something he shouldnt have agreed to but again, survival
‘you can stay with us in the mean time. our guest room has been collecting dust so you can live here’
‘what? no! i can’t!’
natsu instinctually turned it down because he hated people giving him charity
but the woman squeezed his arm to give him a smile
‘i will not allow a child to live in the streets because of something he couldnt help’
‘arent you worried youre inviting a total stranger in your home?’
but she gave him a knowing smile
‘im a mother. i can trust you, boy’
in exchange for board and food, he promised to get a part time job so he could pay her back and get out of their house as quickly as he could
shoyo led him to the bathroom upstairs so he could treat the wounds from the ground
natsu sat on the closed toilet seat while his literal idol was putting cream on his boo-boos
he still cant wrap his head with everything
maybe it was because he was so busy trying to come up with lies that he wasnt able to fully sit down and think about the fact that he just TRAVELED BACK IN TIME and could accidentally change it
‘shoyo, what year is it?’
he mumbled
‘2012′
he answered and natsu sighed but his head perked up
oh god
2012
thats a year away from 2013
the year he was born
that meant shoyo’s team manager was going to give birth to him next year
‘why? did you hit your head so far that you forgot?’
hinata joked but he paled when natsu didnt laugh
‘OH GOD DID YOU?!’
‘NO! AND STOP YELLING!’
natsu shouted, equally surprised
‘whew, thank god. again, im so sorry i hit you’
‘shoyo, dont worry about it, okay? im fine, i swear’
during dinner, mrs. hinata told him about his school situation
‘you can go to karasuno with shoyo. what year were you in?’
‘first’
‘perfect! shoyo is too so he could easily help you around the school!’
natsu nodded quietly, still out of it and his brain finally starting to accept this impossible reality
‘but i dont think i could help you with the entrance exams. im not the most-um-smartest, per se’
shoyo apologized but natsu already knew that
he was no extreme fanatic but he knew quite a lot about hinata shoyo, the player he watched during the 2021 olympics and the reason he started playing volleyball
natsu dreamed to join the msby jackals just like his idol did and eventually reach the national team like hinata did
it was during the olympics of 2021, he knew he wanted to be like him
this boy who sat next to him was the reason he came to love volleyball along with his other idol, oikawa tooru, from the argentina volleyball team after seeing that legendary match 
when oikawa hit that service ace, natsu wanted to be able to receive that
he was merely 8 and his neighbor, midoriya inko, was babysitting him and she placed him and her son who was his friend, izuku, in front of the tv where they watched the olympics match
‘someday, ill be someone great. ill be great like him’
he promised and from then on, he worked to achieve that goal 
‘natsu? hello?’
he was shaken from his thoughts as shoyo nudged him back to reality
mrs. hinata laughed
‘maybe you should head to bed early, dear. you must be tired after having a hard journey’
he nodded and was about to go and wash his dishes when she stopped him
‘no. go and sleep, ill take care of this’
‘i have to do my part in here, hinata-san. please, let me do this’
she finally agreed and he was scrubbing the plates when his mind wandered over to possible solutions on how he could go back
there was an episode that he watched with izuku that the character had to do something to go back
and he had a feeling that he would have to do the same thing
but what would that something be?
there had to be a reason he was thrown all the way in this time and it couldnt just be a coincidence that supposedly, this would be around the same time his mother would get pregnant
but who would it be?
he finished putting the plates on the drying rack and he felt really thirsty suddenly
opening the fridge, he found no water bottles and natsu had a very sensitive stomach so he couldnt drink tap water
his next favorite beverage was there and he pulled a glass from the cabinet
‘hinata-san, is it okay if i can have some milk?’
he called out and she shouted that it was okay
natsu poured the drink on his glass and started drinking it when hinata entered the kitchen and snickered at him
‘yknow, you remind me of my idiot teammate. none of my other friends drink straight milk except for him’
natsu placed the glass down and wiped his lips
‘chocolate milk make me sick and i hate the taste of flavoring in milk. but i just hate flavoring in general. except for gari gari popsicles, those are good’
natsu reasoned, watching hinata move across the room to get an apple
‘still ew. but come on! lets go to bed so i can show you around school early before practice tomorrow!’
natsu noticed his excitement by the way he bounced in place and he chuckled
it reminded him of his friends mina and denki
hinata led them both to his room so he could check his wounds again just to make sure
then something caught his eye
‘kirishima-kun you like volleyball?!’
that threw him off
partly because he wasnt used to being called by his friend’s last name
but also because of the question
‘huh? how do you know that?’
natsu asked, almost defensively
hinata shrugged
‘i saw your volleyball shoes in your bag’
hinata reasoned and excitedly pointed at them
‘you should play for us! im part of the team too! oh oh! what position do you play?!’
‘l-libero’
natsu stuttered out, slightly overwhelmed by hinata’s energy
hinata started circling him, inspecting his height and looking at him up and down
‘yanno, kirishima-kun, youre really tall. like much taller than the rest of my club. maybe not saltyshima but really!! youre so tall!!’
hinata whined in envy and natsu laughed
‘blame it on the paternal side of the family. my ma isnt really tall’
he laughs but then memories of his mother resurfaced and he suddenly felt gloomy, guilty, even, bc he doesnt know if time stopped there or it kept going and if so, shes probably worried sick
and he knew she was always one who blamed herself
hinata noticed his downcast expression and thought he probably remembers his dad and got sad since he got kicked out
so our baby sunshine freaked out and he frantically waved his hands around
‘oh no! gomen kiri-kun! gomen! i really didnt mean to make you think about him! gomen!!!’
he even bowed which surprised the h/c boy and made him stand back up
‘o-oi shoyo! dont! you didnt because i wasnt thinking about him!’
he fussed and patted hinata’s hair
‘i dont care about him. to be honest, there isnt much to think about’
he didnt think about what he said until he heard himself
natsu’s eyes widened, fearful of how hinata could take it but he flinched when the orange-haired boy’s eyes were filled with his own tears
‘OH NO!! KIRI-KUN!!!’
then launched another series of apologies and natsu had to calm him down
oh dear
it was early in the morning like 5 when hinata bursted into natsu’s room
the loud shout of shoyo made his eyes blink open and he groaned before turning to the side
‘come on, kiri-kun! we need to go to take your exam!’
‘nooooooooo’
‘yeeessssssss’
it was quite a battle for hinata to even just get natsu out of bed but he managed to bribe the latter with some milk bread from the bakery down the street
‘2′
natsu showed his two fingers and hinata sighed before nodding
‘yes. now go hurry so we can leave!’
dressed in his grey sweatpants and a yuuei sweatshirt, natsu cursed as he only has clothes good for 2 days and he didnt want to bother the hinatas so he was at a loss
mrs hinata bid the two boys good bye and natsu was yawning and dragging his body to walk while hinata was skipping over to his bike
then he finally realized the problem
he nervously looked at natsu and the taller boy didnt understand why he was looking at him that way
‘what?’
shoyo pointed at the bike and awkwardly smiled
‘uh,,, you see,,, i dont think youd,,, fit,,, at the back seat’
natsu shrugged
‘then ill bike. ive done it before’
he sauntered over to the bike and swiftly lifted his leg before testing out the brake handles
‘its good and better than mine back home’
‘a-are you-’
‘sit down, sho’
hinata gripped on to the back of natsu’s sweatshirt as he told him the directions to how to get to the school
natsu remembered watching an interview of hinata talking about his high-school life and he remembered the star player talking about his dedication to go to karasuno everyday for volleyball
and the boy couldn’t believe hes doing that right now, with his idol literally behind him, and driving to the legendary karasuno high school
from the jackals to the adlers and even some other teams like the frogs, natsu cheered for them
there was a memory of his mother sitting with him on their couch during one of her rare day offs as they rewatched the recorded copy of the olympics
it has become natsu’s favorite thing to watch
‘with great talent comes great hardships. people don’t become good overnight and i watched those people suffer through it all but look where they are now’
‘KIRISHIMA, WATCH OUT! COWS CROSSING!’
natsu was snapped out of his thoughts at hinata’s shout
then it morphed into pure and utter confusion
‘cows?’
shoyo laughed
‘since youre from the city, this must be a weird sight for you, huh? well, in the countryside, this happens a lot!’
but natsu didnt mind
in fact, he loved cows
he loved any farm animal in general
maybe it was his upbringing in the hustle and bustle of the city that he grew to love the countryside
shoto took him with his family to a trip to the country once and he remembered loving the smell of grass
they were able to do an activity in a farm where they worked in a rice farm and the peace and serenity was something he will always remember
his mother was lucky she grew up in a place like this
‘kiri-kun, ive been wanting to ask, how is your volleyball team in the city? are you a powerhouse?’
natsu felt pride bubble up in his chest
‘of course! we got second place in nationals!’
he boasted and blurted out before he could stop himself
then he felt fear
he shouldnt have said that because for all he knows, yuuei probably doesn’t exist at this time period
hinata had a different reaction and his eyes shone
‘WHAT?! WOAH! SO COOL! I HAVE TO TELL OUR CAPTAIN THAT WE’RE GETTING A POWERHOUSE STUDENT!’
‘uh-i-uh-’
natsu didnt know what to say because he had a feeling he definitely just did an oopsie
so he switched topics really quick to divert the attention away from his past
‘o-oi sho, once youre done being a pro volleyball player and stuff, we should have our own rice farm’
of course it was such a random idea but it distracted the orange boy
hinata shrugged
‘i mean,,, i have to be a pro first but i guess we can!’
‘hmm,,,, i dont think you have to worry about that’

TBH I'm kinda salty about the last Jedi too. After watching it I sorta shrugged and went "I guess it was okay" but the more I think about it, the more I really want episode ix to make up for TLJ being generally shitty except for a few good scenes.
At this point, I have no idea what to expect for episode ix and I have mixed feelings about that. 
I don’t want to be such a negative nancy lol so I’ll list off the things I liked about the film first before I bring on the salt.
The cinematography was stunning. (Specifically the scenes shot on Ahch-to.) I thought the porgs were adorable, and I’m sure the merchandise will make great sales. Adam Driver nails his character. I cannot emphasize that enough. He is the perfect Kylo Ren. Yoda’s brief scene with Luke at the temple incited a certain sentimentality for me, even though it left a lot to be desired. And last, I’ll admit, this is purely self-indulgent. I’m a huge sucker for reylo, so all the force bond scenes gave me heart palpitations. Idk if Johnson wanted the audience to interpret those scenes a certain way…?? But it felt like odd sexual tension to me lol and I wasn’t complaining.
Now on to the salt…
Disclaimer: Yes. I’m an OG trilogy fan and I won’t deny my bias. There I said it. Sorry if that’s problematic. 
Now with that in mind, I’ll refer to a quote by the director himself.
“The goal is never to divide or make people upset, but I do think the conversations that are happening were going to have to happen at some point if sw is going to grow, move forward and stay vital.” - Rian Johnson.
I understand where he’s coming from. Fans of the film have praised him for ‘allowing star wars to evolve’.
But I strongly disagree with the way the film goes about it.
How does a series evolve if so many questions are left unanswered or completely glossed over? Who is/was Snoke?? How did he seduce Kylo to the dark side? Why is Rey so powerful with the force? Now that we know her true origins, is that it…?? 
What was the point of Captain Phasma’s character? What was the point of Benicio del Toro’s character?? What was the point of ROSE’S characters TBH!? Just to give Finn a romance subplot?? 
And while I really wanted to enjoy Rey and Kylo’s fight scene with the praetorian guards, the whole time I kept thinking “wHY aRENt yoU USING the foRCE???” Kylo could have choked at least one guy out. (Truth be told, he should’ve wasted them all on his own. With his skill set and experience, he surely would’ve outclassed them.)
This post is going to get super long so I’ll conclude with the biggest sin of all.
Luke Skywalker’s character assassination.
I’m just…??? Ughhh. His first scene, his first scene, where Rey offers him the lightsaber and  He. Tosses. It. Over. His. Shoulder. and disregards it like it’s trash…? That lightsaber was his father’s (Anakin), given to him by Obi-Wan when he first began jedi training. You cannot convince me the real Luke would be like ‘screw this dumb thing lol’
Never mind the fact that the potential for a truly poignant and heartfelt scene was utterly squandered…
It only went downhill from there. Luke is reduced to a hermit who drinks alien milk, doesn’t treat Rey very nicely, and tried to kill his nephew. All of which seems very OOC. 
#notmylukeskywalker 
Luke was like my first movie crush when I was a kid! Still is.  His character was so honorable, humble, and inspirational in the original trilogy. So to see such a tragedy unfold before my very own eyes was, for lack of a better word, disappointing. 
But it’s Christmas, so I’ll remain optimistic and keep my fingers crossed for episode ix.
