I think the Duffer Brothers' history with racism in their show goes a lot deeper than a lot of people realize.

Lucas as a character has three distinct B plot stories that get assigned to him: being a minor antagonist to Eleven in season one, being a good friend to the rest of the Party, and being in love with his girlfriend. While Mike's plot is directly centered around two of the most pivotal characters of the show, Dustin is given two different role model characters that shape his arc and is overall the genius that helps the rest of the cast get out of several difficult situations, Will still being connected to the Upside Down after his disappearance in 1983 and that playing into several major plots, Max having a multitude of centric storylines especially in season four and Eleven literally being THE main character- Lucas is only ever given plots that help serve and uplift the other (white) characters. Unless you count him... playing basketball and being friends with Jason. I guess?

Erica is similar to Lucas, but to a much larger degree. I'd like you reading this to think of any single Erica standalone plot in the show that has nothing to do with/does not predominantly or solely benefit the white characters around her. I'll wait.

The Sinclair parents are only touched on in brief sections for the sake of filling the episodes, only ever playing a more major role in Season Four. If you could call it that. I'm sure most of you couldn't even tell me their names off of the top of your heads. (It's Charles and Sue, by the way.)

Argyle was the first somewhat major character of color to be introduced to the show after Erica played her part in season three. I could say similar things about his role in the season overall that I can about Lucas and Erica. Except they set him up to play a bigger role in the next season at the end of season four, going as far as to show him in Hawkins and have Jancy verbally allude to him sticking around, only for the show heads to ghost Eduardo Franco and let him find out he wasn't being brought back through an official social media cast photo.

Kali was a former subject from the same lab El came from, having escaped and subsequently began to lead a vigilante life of enacting revenge on those who played a hand in her suffering. She was the first subject El ever met after leaving the lab, shown to be incredibly powerful and strong-willed. Her and El had an immediate connection, calling themselves sisters right after meeting. But after El was finished with her self-discovery period on the S.S. Kali Gang for one (1) often-forgotten and poorly-written episode, Kali was quite literally abandoned both in spirit and on screen, never to be seen or even mentioned again.

All other characters of color are either killed violently (Patrick), have like ten minutes of screentime total (Jeff and Calvin Powell), or are just straight up background only and may not even have names.

They can dedicate an entire section of season four's plot to Suzie's family, but not to genuine character development for Erica or for Kali to return. They can make room for a whole pointless predatory plot between Billy and Karen, but not to give a more important role to the Sinclair parents. They have room to include a whole plot about El getting bullied in school, but not for Lucas to have a more meaningful story outside of his white friends and girlfriend. They can platform three known white zionists while Palestine currently undergoes a gruesome genocide even as I type this, but they don't have room for Argyle in season five (or even the decency to give Eduardo a fucking phone call).

Not only do the Duffers constantly write themselves into holes because they keep adding unnecessary fodder to the plot, and refuse to kill ANY of their main characters in favor of just creating new characters for the sake of killing them off in mediocre ways despite the fact that they're trying to fit 20+ B plots into 8-9 40-50 minute episodes per season and wondering why half their show doesn't make sense- The time they DO dedicate to character-specific B plots and character arc progression visibly favor the white characters.

If I watch S5, and that's a huge if, I will be sailing the high seas. Between all of this, the fact that they filmed part of season four in an old Nazi prison and tried to turn it into a fucking AirBNB, and the fact that at least four people who play major roles in the show actively support the current genocide of Palestine- I won't be giving them (or Netflix for that matter) another cent of my money.

While you're here, please do your completely free daily click to send aid to Palestine, and here's a list of other resources for how to help more directly.

Well, it turns out I have more smutty Gwynriel thoughts. Again, if you don’t like Gwynriel just hushhhh and keep scrolling, the grown ups are talking, babygirl:

Sparring that starts as just that. Training. Professional. Focused. Friendly. Respectful. 

Sparring. 

That ends up turning into something else. 

She picks up each technique quickly because of course she does. She’s Gwyn. She’s a perfectionist. Even when both her and Azriel are comfortable with her skills she’ll keep trying and trying until it’s flawless. 

But once she has it down, they can’t help but pick on one another. 

A feeling starts igniting in Gwyn that concerns her. Azriel is her friend, her trainer. She should not be getting turned on by grappling with him, even during the moments it turns almost playful, like they can’t help themselves. 

Both too competitive to not take it seriously, but enjoying themselves far too much it starts to feel…different. A delighted laugh escapes Gwyn, a smirk Azriel doesn’t bother hiding away. 

It’s serious. And then it’s competitive. And then it’s playful. And then it’s…different. 

And Gwyn knows Azriel can sense a change in her in those moments. Moments were she forgets herself enough that she’s unafraid, she’s confident, and then suddenly she’s rocked back into the moment and she tells herself it’s wrong. It’s not fair to Azriel to feel this way about him. He saved her, and this is how she repays him? By having no control over her bodily reactions to him?

The moments where she manages to pin him, when her hips press against his, when her groin presses down on his lap, even briefly, feels like time freezes, feels like an eternity passes in only a few seconds. And she feels it. An itch she wants to chase. An urge to press and rub and grind. She feels the shift in the air in those moments, loses herself in it for only a second before she comes back to herself and hurries off of him before she can do anything rash.

She doesn’t know if Azriel scents the arousal in the air, thinks he’s too polite to say anything, really. But Azriel is usually in a daze by the time she hurries off of him and bids him goodbye. He’s been lagging more and more while they spar lately and while Gwyn tells herself he’s not taking it easy on her on purpose, she can tell something is different, that something is distracting him, and she only hopes she’s not making him uncomfortable by her lack of control. 

But no no no, that’s not the problem at all. He’s having fun with her, too. He feels electric when they spar. Her laughter and cheeky smile are driving him to distraction enough, she’s enjoying this physical and demanding activity. He feels breathless and reborn and like he shouldn’t enjoy this as much as he does because fuck, does he enjoy it. 

Every part of him burns when they touch and grab at each other and he’s furious with himself for his lack of control. Her smell, their smell combined, intensified from all this movement, all their sweat, is almost drugging him, he feels like he’s moving under water. He didn’t know it was possible to starve and hunger for something so much.  

Gwyn has a nice ass and long, strong legs, feeling those thighs clench around any part of him when they’re grappling is a heavenly experience and it’s driving him up the wall. He’s 500 fucking years old, a spymaster and a shadowsinger, his blood is boiling in a frenzy, his mouth won’t stop watering, all from sparring with a beautiful and strong copper haired woman. 

2. Ruined hands greedily but gently running over every inch of her they can reach, igniting an arousal so deep he doesn’t know what to do. Chest on fire and it feels so good. Has he ever let himself be touched so much or at all? Has he ever let himself feel so much, connect during these moments?

Azriel just melts on top of Gwyn. Upper body pressing against hers completely, just skin on skin on skin. It’s soothing, it’s intense, there is no hesitancy from either of them. Just total ecstasy. The minutiae rocking of his hips grinding against hers, pelvic bone rubbing her clit just right and he knows it’s driving her crazy, can tell by the way he hits it just so and her hips jerk, her head leaning back to try and catch her breath, to try and regain control, but Azriel doesn’t let up, she told him not to, every breath of hers becomes an involuntary little moan. Her face keeps turning away because it’s too much but Azriel just keeps turning her right back, mouth fused to hers because now that it’s started he can’t stop. 

A man that’s only ever used his body, his strength, his power to save her, not harm her. All of it pressed against her. Every inch of skin rubbing against hers, the friction is intoxicating, no uneasiness or telling themselves it’s something they shouldn’t be doing. Just an undeniable feeling of it being right. 

The patch of skin behind Azriel’s ear is very sensitive. Gwyn discovers this after nipping his earlobe, when she teases her teeth there. He stretches his neck into her like a cat and she’s not sure he realizes but she gently keeps her focus there. The spot below the hinge of his jaw too. His tongue lightly twining with hers before he follows with a tiny suck on the tip of it. 

3. And, of course, Pussydrunk!Azriel. Either Gwyn straddling his face or pinned on the bed, Azriel’s lean but immovable forearm holding her bucking hips down, legs over his shoulders, pussy pulled tightly to his hungry mouth, not one inch of it going unlicked or unkissed. It’s wet and it’s loud and Gwyn is kind of caught off guard by the noise but Azriel is shameless and unforgiving in his pursuit to make her drip, to make her come. 

She didn’t know how sensitive the skin on her inner thigh was until he set his mouth there and sucked and nipped until it was almost sore and she started squirming.

Both of them finding safety and comfort in submitting to each other. They’re both switches and each have moments they need to concede control. 

The dark, the shadows, it’s not repressive, it’s freeing for them.

A Small Matter of Planning

Alenoah Week Day 1: Proposal / First Date

Alejandro and Noah have finally decided they want to try out dating. They'd spent the past year starting off as friends, then rivals as Noah found out Alejandro's true colors, then back to friends with crushes on each other until others finally pushed them along to consider dating.

So now they just have to settle on where they want to have their first date. There's just one small, minor detail that makes planning somewhat difficult.

Noah's the size of Alejandro's hand.

This isn't anything new to them. Humans and tinies have been living with each other rather peacefully for quite a while now. There's infrastructure in place to help tinies get around without fear of getting stepped on.

Still, when it comes to relationships, there aren't many mixed-height couples. Partially because of the logistics. Partially because of conservative biases that no one talks about, but everyone knows exists.

As a result, despite talk of inclusion, most places are suited for either humans-only or tinies-only. Wawanakwa High is one of the few schools that isn't segregated, which is how Alejandro and Noah have gotten to know each other.

Combine this with the fact that Alejandro's a romantic and Noah isn't, and you have a recipe for planning for a first date to be a logistical nightmare.

Going to a cafe?

"The only cafe that'd serve both of us is across town. Plus, I don't want to deal with the stares."

Going to a new bookstore?

"It's not a date when it's something you'd do already. Let me treat you you stubborn perezosito."

With neither of them agreeing on more traditional first dates, they decide to try catering it towards something they can both agree with. Something that lets them both use their minds.

Doing an escape room? "We'd have to do one for humans. You'd have to carry me around because there's no way I'm scurrying around for clues."

Going to a game store? "The only ones with the good board games are ones for tinies. I will not degrade either of us with a party game."

It's pretty frustrating for both of them. They do want to make this work, but nothing about their relationship is simple. Still, neither of them wants to give this up. Alejandro because he's never one to back down for a challenge, and having an equal who makes him actually want to learn empathy is most certainly worth it. Noah because he never really feels motivated to do much of anything, but Alejandro makes him want to try, so like hell he's giving that up.

They take a break from planning and just hang out like they normally would. Meaning that they're hanging out when together, but both doing intense research on what to do for a first date. Alejandro actually brings himself to ask for help by texting Carlos, who's more than happy to help him bounce ideas back. Noah, knowing nothing of romance nor knowing anyone else who knows about romance, googles 'ideas for first dates' in incognito mode and double checks that nothing has been saved by the time he's done checking.

Eventually, the two do come across an interesting idea. The bookstore Noah was arguing for has a trivia night every Thursday. It doesn't require anything physical, which is great for Noah. There will be food, which Alejandro will pay for so he can still be romantic. And it allows them both to show off how better they are than everyone else work together rather than compete with each other for once.

It goes off without a hitch! They get a few odd looks. It's hard to say whether it's because of the size difference, how young they are, or the fact that they enter as a duo when most other teams have at least four people.

That quickly changes as they start destroying the competition. Everyone else is practically competing for second place.

Their victory comes as a surprise to no one. Regulars of all sizes immediately make their way towards the two begging for the teens to join their teams. Some of them do genuinely mean well and are excited to have new blood at trivia night. Others want to try to take advantages of the two. Alejandro happily jumps at the chance to deal with all of them.

Meanwhile Noah sneaks away to go collect their prizes (and not have to deal with the swarm of people). The prizes are relatively small since it is a weekly event. $25 gift cards to the bookstore. Or, if they do plan on becoming regulars, they can each start a tab. Noah takes one glance at his social butterfly of a boyfriend and tells the host that yeah, they'll start a tab.

So their date idea ends up becoming a new weekly tradition. The other regulars happily accept them among their ranks. They find a team that they will join on occasion, though for the most part they stick with being a duo. Once in a blue moon they'll even go onto separate teams. It's a perfect excuse for competitive, flirtatious banter.

Either way, it's still a delightful date night.
