it's so funny (read: sad) that if bigoted fuckheads didn't insist i was a woman simply by virtue of my body at birth, i'd probably be chill with she/her pronouns in addition to he/they. if my mom didn't insist i was her daughter, i'd probably let her call me that, and we could still have a relationship.
i'm nonbinary and 'gendered' words are hypothetically meaningless, but because there are so many people who are more interested in telling me who i am rather than lovingly and curiously letting me express my own sense of self, those words carry trauma.
there's no reason a nonbinary person like myself can't be a son and a child and a daughter. there's no reason a nonbinary person like me can't go by he, they, and she.
'she' is not a slur. 'daughter' is not derogatory. 'beautiful' 'pretty' 'gorgeous' 'feminine' are not insults.
to the contrary, they're parts of language that express certain facets of a multi-faceted human existence, like mine.
and i have this sad, mournful feeling that if it weren't for unloving, condescending people, i'd probably be down to be called any of those things alongside my usual masculine/neutral terminology.
but i'd rather die than let anyone tell me what i have to be called.

Also, while I'm thinking about it, Lourdes leaving solidified her leaving her friendship with Michaela.. which in turn means that Mick's now lost a second best friend (at her own hands again, she thinks).
Jared couldn't give less of a damn though, Michaela is clearly in distress over Lourdes and understandably wants to keep her distance. Jared never ONCE respects that. He's uncaring to the fact that this is the second best friend she's lost in such a short time (for her at least, that's something that again he doesn't really seem to care about). Instead, he barely even checks in with her.. he borderline blames and gaslights her.
Especially in the aftermath of Evie, this wasn't the time for Michaela to lose Lourdes- the three Amiga's have successfully been parted and part of me feels as though Jared did this to get Mick mostly alone so she'd be more open to going to him.
Speaking of Evie, it's obvious that Michaela is still reeling from the accident. It's clear that she's still carrying all this guilt. Jared's response? "𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘥."
Like, sure buddy, legally she was cleared but personally? Internally? Morally? No way.
Michaela's guilt isn't about the legalities, it isn't about the black and white- the pen and paper. It's about the fact that she was driving the car that killed her best friend, it's that she knew she shouldn't have been driving but she was. It's the fact that two girls went out that night and only one came home alive.
That's what Mick can't shake. She can't shake that she got behind the wheel, knowingly, and it resulted in the death of the woman that was practically her sister. She can't justify that she's alive and Evie isn't. That's what the guilt is. Not whatever the fuck Jared was on about.
Contrast this with Zeke who, similarly to Mick, was in some way responsible for someone's death. In his case, it's Chloe. Chloe and Evie have next to nothing in common, except that their respective companions harbor relentless guilt for their deaths. Zeke understands her pain, not only because it so closely mirrors his own but also because he's understood Michaela from the moment he met her.
Jared may have loved her once.. but it feels more like now, she's just something he covets. What she wants, and what she feels, no longer matters. Her happiness also no longer matters to him "he was supposed to be gone, Mick."
He said that despite and regardless of the fact that Zeke clearly makes Michaela happy, he'd rather her be in agony than let her go. That isn't love.

Not trying to make Steddie a straight ship (cuz gosh I know how annoying that could be, even tho neither of them is confirmed as part of the LGBTQ yet) or anything, but fem!Eddie... been thinking about her for a while. With her dramatics and love for DnD and guitar. Having a monologue in the cafeteria about the unfairness of them being the freaks just because they enjoy a game and not sport or parties or stuffs like that (cuz that scene??? With fem!Eddie???? I have been thinking about it and found it very very hot for some reasons)
With her tattoos and many rings and black nails and messy makeup. And her hair is always in a ponytail but is very messy so most of the hair is free and she plays with it a lot. She's still wearing that leather jacket + denim vest combo and is KILLING it my queen.
Omg and her and Steve? She flirted with him once, saw his transfixed face and made it her mission to keep flirting because she loves every reaction she gets from King Steve Harrington. Always getting in his space while talking. Making fun of him. Being a menace to society. And Steve is loosing his shit over it. Definitely hates past him from never talking with her, cuz she's funny and full of energy and a little bit dramatic but also brave and sweet and beautiful-
And she's so good with kids and would do anything for Mike, Lucas and Dustin. Just like Steve would do anything for them.
Bonus : Robin telling Steve that if he doesn't go for fem!Eddie, she will cuz damn that girl is hot while fighting for her life.
