i hate that ship where you have to give the characters a complete 180 for them to even work on paper, and then you don’t even recognize those characters anymore because the shippers just make the ship the characters only existing trait.

"season 5 needs to drop the love triangle so nancy can be her badass self"

you don't care about nancy (who very much deserves love btw) you're just mad your ship doesn't have a chance

stranger things bitterness

Alrighty guys, as a sapphic i give up. I want absolutely no gay ships to be canon in this show except rovickie. No steddie, no byler, nothing mlm. Take rovickie as your lgbtq rep or perish. The only exception is bi4bi lumax. The amount of recent takes about how ST will suddenly be a homophobic show if byler doesn't get together or how there are so many amazing steddie parallels from people who pay no attention to the canon queer rep we do have because it's not two men who they think are hot has made me bitter. I hope absolutely none of the fanon mlm ships are canon because I want to see you all whine about the show's cowardice and homophobia while I, a joyful sapphic, enjoy Maya Hawke and Amybeth McNulty having the time of their lives playing a super cute sapphic couple. Also Vickie's bi rep. Stop writing about how she's so homophobic. Stop using Robin as a crutch for your steddie/byler everything. Check your misogyny challenge.

(I look forward to hearing from y'all in the comments). I'll probably delete this in a day or two but if i see one more take demonizing Vickie or whining about the lack of show queer rep because you only recognize it when it's men I'm going to lose it.

steve wearing eddie’s jacket means nothing. friends and siblings borrow and steal clothes all the time. but robin wore nancy’s fucking bra. you do not borrow a bra from just a friend

average experience scrolling through the #ronance tag on tumblr dot com

#words do not begin to describe how much I fucking loathe steddie #I CANNOT EMPHASIZE HOW MUCH I DO NOT CARE #ronance #anti steddie #I’m used to this on ao3 with my femslash ships but this is the first ship for which even TUMBLR is this bad kys

[hawkyon-days]

Sometimes self-care looks like this:

#anti steddie #just sad how you exclude about 50% of recent fics with that #also congrats to byler for finally beating out harr*ngrove #the fact that that was the most popular ship before eddie existed is mildly disgusting actually #on that note #anti harringrove #anti billy hargrove

[qprstobin]

Bout to say something controversial but... The way some of y'all write Eddie... I think some of y'all just need to admit you're into age play because there are so many hcs and fics out there where Eddie acts like a literal child and Steve has to basically take care of him and do everything for him and it's getting ridiculous. Otherwise I don't get the appeal of having Steve do all the cleaning, all the cooking, hiding vegetables in Eddie's meals??, all the finances, literally every single thing for him. What is happening in this fandom

#anti steddie #anti fanon steddie #at least lol #anyway this is why ive taken a break from the ship i dont want functioning adult + manchild that is not my kink personally

[clustermiix]

talk about steve harrington without bringing up either of his narrative replacements (billy or eddie) challenge, impossible.

those two literally were written in to fill the role the duffer's intended for steve and went back on. this is just a lighthearted its-not-that-deep theory but i think that's part of why they became so popular; because they're steve-adjacent characters. the second reason is because people just really love any opportunity to ship two white guys, especially if one or both are ~quirky~ and there's even a scrap of a height difference (oddly, i've seen people write billy and eddie as taller, when joe/steve is the tallest out of all three of them. which feels like it might tie into what i see happen to mlm couples in fandom, canon and non canon, where one half gets hyperfeminized and treated like a 'sub' to a taller, more assertive partner, regardless of canon personality or traits.)

i enjoy steve harrington's character, and i can appreciate the characters of eddie and billy, but it would be nice to go two seconds online without seeing either of them (mostly eddie these days) attached to his name like they're his world when honestly he had very little fucks to give about either of them and they had next to no fucks to give about him either. there's just a lot of exaggeration over his importance in each of their lives, and them in his. in my opinion, steve works best in platonic formats

Well, wouldja look at that. Nice to see some articles that delve into the WHY of all the harassment.

I hope this picks up traction and calls attention to how SO MANY women are treated by fandom when they dare get too close to the popular actor of the week. This isn’t the first time, and it won’t be the last.

but what if I said that Eddie munson is overrated

What if I said that Eddie is only a character so that they wouldnt have to kill Steve

What if I said that Eddie was only introduced to die

What if I said Eddie is actually a loser

What if I said Eddie was just upset because he can't graduate

What if I said bullying children as a twenty year old is fucking weird

What if I said selling ketamine to someone who hasn't even done weed before is gross and greedy

What if I said that he's just some guy with a martyr complex

What if i said that the town had good reason to be suspicious of him

What if I said people only ship stddie and mngrove because they think the actors are hot

what if I said stddie actually had no chemistry

What if I said Eddie didn't do much for the plot

What if I said Eddie didn't even need to be a character

what if I said the guitar performance was stupid and unnecessary

What if I said Eddie having a crush on Steve doesn't mean anything because Steve didn't like him back(he's in love with Jon obviously/hj)

What if I said that so many stddie shippers dumb down Steve to make Eddie look smarter

What if I said that Eddie is dead and not coming back

What if I said that if Eddie came back in any way shape or form and it would be fanservice

What if I said that Eddie should've moved the campaign and Lucas did nothing wrong

What then

i, like, read steddie fics, is the thing. and i like some of them even. but the only thought that gets me through my daily perusal of the steve&robin tag on ao3 is "i hope eddie munson explodes into gore and is erased from existence and everyone forgets about him forever" on repeat

#and i knowww i can exclude him from search results but i also really can't because there are some really good stobin fics out there #that just happen to have background steveddie #the thing about eddie is that i get why some people really like him. like. he can be a fun character #but there's SO MUCH out there that is like. HE'S THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON IN THE WORLD TO STEVE!!! #EVERYONE ELSE IS SO MEANIES TO HIM UNTIL EDDIE COMES AND MAKES HIM REALIZE WHAT LOVE IS..... #like NO!! ill KILL YOU!!!! ROBIN LOVES HIM. ROBIN IS RIGHT THERE #gripping the edge of the table so hard it splinters. im normal don't worry #quincy.txt #anti eddie munson #anti steddie #i suppose #for blacklisting purposes

MY stranger things unpopular opinions <3

ok nobody asked but these r my stranger things unpopular opinions, inspired by a tweet where people just shared super common and well accepted opinions instead of actual controversy lol

also half of these r gonna be ronance centered because they’re literally all i think about

- first and foremost, nancy is a lesbian. i think so many of her actions and struggles can absolutely be traced back to comphet and repression and i feel like people want to cling onto her romance with steve and jonathan as a way to justify her fondness for them, when i think she can just care about them because they’re her friends and they’re trauma bonded(tm)

- while i like steve and robin being besties as much as everyone else i feel like people overestimate how close they really are in canon. of course they’re best friends but they really aren’t overly dependent on each other like people interpret them to be. they’re best friends but they also function really well on their own.

- though there’s no denying that will has feelings for mike i sincerely doubt that those romantic feelings are reciprocated and i think people are way too confident that byler is gonna be canon

- elmax is miles better than almost every canon AND fanon relationship in the show (i’d argue jopper and lumax (and biased opinion ronance) are the only genuine contenders)

- while i make a habit of being overly critical of men i think people forget that the “grumpy dad” trope with hopper that they like so much comes with him being a total dick sometimes lol

- both jonathan AND steve were weird as fuck in season 1. y’all r having a mid-off when u argue jancy vs. stancy

- and by mid-off i mean stancy wasn’t as bad as y’all act like it was and jancy is not as good as y’all act like it is

- y’all infantilize the FUCK out of robin buckley and im SICK OF IT!! she’s incredibly smart and strong and u people act like she’s stupid/a pushover/a nervous little baby

- in general i think the ronance fandom likes to apply tropes to nancy and robin in a way that isn’t accurate to their characters. its a very common and predictable pattern and i think thats why a lot of fan works feel out of character (an example to this is people applying grumpy x sunshine to nancy and robin respectively and it just doesn’t fit)

- karen is not a good mother. i think everyone can agree karen is weird as fuck for the billy thing, but i see a lot of people argue for karen that she’s really grown as a mother but i’m not seeing it. i don’t doubt that she loves her kids but there’s a reason mike and nancy are Like That

- y’all made up a ton of steve’s personality traits. i’m all good with interpreting his character a certain way but if the reason you hate nancy wheeler is because she unknowingly poked at insecurity of steve’s that u made up i have 0 respect for ur opinions lol

- and on that note steve is pretty badly written. i don’t think his path to “redemption” was bad but he’s so far from anything special that the love he gets from the fandom astounds me

- luckily this opinion isnt as unpopular anymore but steddie was figment of fandom imagination and the fact that it rotted y’all’s brains so bad to the point where you convinced yourself eddie munson was actually really important is just so...

- if you make fruity four content without nancy because you don’t think she’s interesting enough you’re a loser

- byclair is literally SOOOO much better than byler the fact that y’all aren’t going to war for them is upsetting

- this better not be an unpopular opinion but ive been seeing more of it recently: if you think joyce byers is a bad mother block me rn

- any hate that eleven, max, and nancy get is almost ALWAYS rooted in misogyny

ok thats it i probably have more but i cant think of any </3

now i don't ship stonathan but technically steve, jon, robin and nancy have all met each other so they are the og fruity four. so i feel there needs to be a push against st'ddie/ronance fruity four and a more of a push for stonathan/ronance fruity four

so for stonathan/ronance we should call them the queer quartet to differentiate them from the st'ddie/ronance fruity for

I will never understand the obsession with m/m ships, bc in the one scene eddie and chrissy had, they had so much more chemistry than eddie and steve ever had in their like five random interactions

#my st rewatch #hellcheer #anti steddie #i guess #chrissy cunningham #like what makes people see two guys who exchange like 10 words. and absolutely loose their mind over them
