i find it really funny how people think Eddie would act in a relationship. “he’d let you sit on his lap during hellfire” no he’d cancel your dates for hellfire this man is not a soft uwu boy he is an adult metalhead high schooler who’s never been in a relationship. no I still love him trust me i’m sad too
joe keery really walked onto the stranger things set and said to the duffers “rip to other 80s jocks, but i’m different.” and then went from a character that was supposed to be killed in the first season to one of the most beloved characters in the fandom. like.. he really did that. with just his personality. icon.
I’m not sure when fandoms have decided that posts, fanfictions and fanart with problematic themes should never be tagged with the source material.
You don’t own a tag and you can’t control everyone in the fandom to conform to your discomfort. If you find something or someone that you don’t like, filter it and/or block them.
Tags are there for a reason, so I believe that everyone should use them as long as the post fits it.
It's always "oh god! oh god what the fuck!" and "What is wrong with you??!?!!? WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!?!" and never "thanks for bringing me back from the dead and also giving me cool insect wings and mandibles,did you have fun digging up my corpse?'.
the first scene that lays the groundwork of jess’s character (luke explaining the situation to lorelai in his apartment) is actually so interesting and telling in regards to liz’s character, especially considering the direction they decide to go when they introduce/develop her.
luke puts the blame for jess getting into trouble and acting out and liz sending him to stars hollow solely on liz’s shoulders. he says she probably only gave it five minutes of thought. he says she gave up on jess and he doesn’t sound the least bit surprised. he says it’s obvious liz is the problem and that jess needs to get away from her because she’s a “nutjob” and a “selfish basket case.”
luke knows who his sister is. he knows the kind of damage that can be inflicted on a kid being raised by her. and this does paint a really dark picture for jess’s home life and upbringing and it’s sad that he wasn’t viewed through the lens of being a very damaged kid by the characters or even by some of the audience after we get that kind of a rundown.
but then we meet liz. and we see her interact with jess. and we see how she affects him. and like. i just don’t understand how the narrative shifts so suddenly to paint liz as this free spirit that’s earned her son’s love and forgiveness and jess as a kid who is holding a grudge against her and being petty when he should be sucking it up and accommodating her.
and i really don’t understand the leniency given to liz because she’s “changed and bettered herself” but not to jess for overcoming the incredibly awful hand he was dealt
