here’s a tamer one:

gimme all your unpopular stranger things opinions, pretty please!!

sav, bestie you know i love being controversial (sometimes) and i know that some of these may get me tumblr-cancelled or cause a fandom riot because most of them will be about billy (and by extension, max), but that’s not my problem.

billy and max genuinely cared about each other. i know, some of you are gonna look at that and say “how the fuck is that true??” but trust me. it is. both of them were forced into a shitty situation, and often took things out on each other because they were both misguided and trying to navigate things on their own. neil and susan obviously favored max, often neglecting billy and making him grow up on his own and way too fast. he was handling full-fledged adult responsibilities by the time he was sixteen, and he shouldn’t have been. now while i think susan may have tried to evenly delegate her attention to both kids, neil completely prohibited that under some false pretense such as “billy needs to grow up” or “he doesn’t need a mother anymore”. any time max screwed up, billy was left to deal with it instead of neil and susan handling it themselves, like parents should, not older siblings (though i believe had it not been for neil, susan would’ve taken care of max herself— i have some very complicated opinions on susan, but that’s another story). every time billy acted out in violence, it was a defense and survival mechanism for him; and he probably did it quite often to protect max because he cared for her, and for the fact that if he didn’t, he’d face neil’s wrath for the nth time (i.e.: the fight at byers’ home with steve— which, in billy’s defense, was totally justified from his point of view). anyway, max and billy cared about each other in their own weird little way.

more on the topic of billy, he wasn’t racist and he didn’t target or dislike lucas simply because he was black. that’s just a bullshit reason that 98% of the fandom uses to justify why they hate billy because they couldn’t read context clues and use some critical thinking skills. he disliked lucas because he witnessed lucas and max arguing in the school parking lot, and lucas was upsetting max— and billy knew that it would be his ass if neil found out about it.

i think the whole “girlboss” angle they’re trying to do with nancy kinda sucks and it’s ruining her character. she was definitely a stronger character in season 2 than any other season.

the series started with will, and it should end with will. i said what i said.

max stabbing billy with a needle and syringe with no idea what was in it is not the girlboss moment y’all think it is. what was in that syringe could’ve killed him for all anyone knew.

the sauna scene was genuinely billy begging for max to help him because he didn’t know what was going on, until it wasn’t, and max knew that was billy and not the mindflayer.

speaking of the whole mindflayer thing, y’all can’t tell me that max didn’t genuinely care about billy when she said “i really hope it’s not you” in reference to the party suspecting that billy was the host.

oh and in season two when billy’s “threatening” to run over the boys?? y’all are delusional for thinking he really would lmao he’s an older brother and older brothers mess with their sisters like that. and he’s a seventeen year old with a cool, fast car. there’s no way he was gonna willingly get himself a vehicular homicide charge in a bumfuck town in indiana. y’all are dumb as shit for thinking he would. and did y’all notice when max grabbed the wheel and made the car swerve to avoid hitting them? billy could’ve easily gone against her force and kept the car on course, but he didn’t.

stancy shippers are essentially romanticizing a toxic relationship between two people who very clearly want different things for themselves and could never actually work, from a logical and realistic viewpoint.

on that note, stancy should not happen in season five. or ever again for that matter. fight me about it.

karen wheeler’s actions in season three can’t be justified. i’m not even gonna argue on this one with anyone because y’all know what happened. sure she chose her family in the end, but she was really about to go hook up with a freshly-18 year old man while being in her 40s…absolutely not, ma’am. don’t even get me started on the other pool-lurking moms.

#these are so brave yet so controversial i think #especially that first one #that first one is gonna ruffle some feathers #may even cause some heebies to be jeebied (get it?) #maybe even the second one too #me? causing fandom discourse with my strong opinions? it’s more likely than you’d think. #fandom discourse #morgan’s mailbox📬 #ask games #clovermunson’s game night #savvy🧸

Unpopular food opinions?

i have a lot, but let me give you some of the most controversial ones i have:

i don’t like tomatoes or ketchup. at all.

i don’t like caramel.

plain white milk is absolutely disgusting.

chocolate cake is not good.

i think fries dipped in ice cream or a milkshake is delicious (my partner absolutely detests this one).

brownies should not have any kind of nuts in them.

red meat is overhyped (this probably just got me canceled in all of the southern states).

tater tots aren’t good.

mint chocolate chip ice cream tastes like toothpaste.

avocados are gross. there, i said it.

oatmeal raisin cookies can go to hell.

fuck, marry, kill:

steve, billy, eddie

you’re bestie, you’re beloved. but right now? right now, you’re the bastard (affectionate)

after some serious deliberation and some weighing of pros and cons, i’ve finally made my decision. and sincerely, fuck you man. fuck you.

fuck: billy. there’s no way i could pass on that man. i’d want you to check and make sure i’m okay if I said no to fucking billy.

marry: eddie. i don’t even think I need to explain this one to you at this point, because you’ve been a participant in our chats. you know the whorish things i say about this man.

kill: steve. i’m so sorry for this one. i still love him though (…do i at least get to fuck him before killing him though??)

What's your favorite day of the week and favorite time of day?

i’ve never really thought of having a favorite day of the week, honestly.

but i guess it would be saturday? and my favorite time is night, obviously (because i’m a gremlin who relies on caffeine and stays up until ungodly hours and keeps odd waking hours)

Unpopular and most popular Stranger Things opinions?

oh god. this is gonna get me so much hate from the fandom, i just know it. but, you asked, so you shall receive.

y’all can come for my throat for these if you want. i don’t even care, honestly.

popular:

lumax is superior to mileven (fight me)

steve has the best character arc of everyone

you can’t hate dustin. you just can’t.

lucas deserves far more attention and screen time

chrissy deserved better

eddie was hands down the best new character introduced in season 4

unpopular:

billy really wasn’t bad at all (y’all just can’t understand that abuse and trauma victims can make bad decisions and later have the ability to change, if given the chance)

nancy is overhyped and often gets a privilege pass because she comes from a wealthy family

if anyone needs to die in season five, it should be either will or nancy (completely unbiased and no hate at all) because it would be interesting to see how their siblings handle that situation and moving forward from it

steve deserves better than nancy. i know it, you know it, we all know it and it’s time to just admit it.

the way billy’s arc was handled was absolute garbage (but still impactful to the story)

Opinions on Mungrove?

okay, let me preface this entire response by saying that i’m not extremely active in shipping culture and i don’t really talk about or reblog much about fandom ships, so i probably have no idea what i’m talking about but anyway

i don’t hate it, honestly. like i’m not gonna go out of my way to find content for it, but if some fanart for it pops up on my feed, i’m like “oh that’s dope.” and i go on about it without making a big fuss because people can ship whatever they want to ship as long as it’s not creepy or weird. so i mean i guess i kinda fuck with it and see the appeal of it to the people who ship it

Would you rather never be able to use tumblr again or never be able to eat pizza again :(

listen. i love a good slice of pizza as much as the next person (so long as it’s not just slathered with grease), but giving up this hellsite or pizza??

i’m sorry, but i’d never touch pizza again, my dude. at this point, i’m dependent on tumblr to help cure all of my issues.
