greg not only being tom’s attack dog, but his therapy dog, sheepdog, guide dog, watchdog, service dog

#tomgreg #just having a bit of fun with this episode :) #i just can't get over the scene where everybody is coming at tom at all angles #mirroring what he says at the beginning and he fully exposes how dependant he is on greg and how much he leans on him #and greg steps up and tries to corral the siblings bc tom can't breathe #and then tom begs him please PLEASE and greg tries to lead them all ESPECIALLY shiv bc he knows tom is vulnerable right now and #shiv is dangerous re: guard dog #ALSO THE NOPE YOU CAN GIVE IT TO ME BILLY I DIDNT NOTICE THAT FIRST GO ROUND #and tom looks and POSSIBLY smiles at him??? :(( sigh. he appreciates the readiness in which greg is acting in his side of the partnership #something tom hasn't really gotten before...... sigh. sigh #and the end like i Know it was for greg himself but it was for tom too i'm putting my foot down #especially with fry her ass up at the beginning here it's even easier to associate the two #plus the whole information is like fine wine etc etc. it was for himself And for tom #iwould go so far as to say Especially For tom. don't @ me

Mina is definitely a tumblr girl but I do think she would do numbers on tiktok. Unfortunately

#unfortunate bc I don't think she should be exposed to it #bc I think her adhd swag and weirdgirl tendencies would get her sucked into the infinite doomscrolling hellhole that is shortform video #but she would make such a good tiktok egirl #mina harker #mina murray #dracula #re: dracula #dracula daily

weird ass fake relationship au where jack is sternly talked into fake dating influencer bitty for pr after coming out because bitty is a social media king and jack looks like he's contemplating homicide whenever he gives an interview

needless to say they get off to a rocky start

#zimbits #omgcp #bitty: spends ten minutes editing a selfie for his story. takes pics of his lunch to post on twitter. vlogs grocery shopping #jack: thinks social media is the worst thing humanity invented and would genuinely like to not be perceived by anyone #it gets worse before it gets better lmfao #one day they're on a fake date and jack catches a glimpse of bitty's DMs over his shoulder and sees the outpouring of gratitude #from people whose lives he saved simply by being out and proud and stubbornly visible #and jack thinks of how he was the first queer nhl player and grew up meeting queer friends of his mom's but none of his dad's #and mayheps starts to re-evaluate the pros to social media #bitty is gradually exposed to jack's upbringing and the various ways he was scarred by the media #and starts considering privacy in a way he never has before because he grew up invisible #and maybe begins thinking twice about the stuff he posts and how much of his private life he wishes to share with the internet #I have Many Thoughts about jack and bitty learning from each other and growing because of it #text #prompts

You may have noticed i've not been very active, just saying this isn't going to change any time soon sorry, i know i have many unanswered asks including asks for meta posts (which i'd love to have the time for) but life just is happening more outside right now

#also i feel like jo's pretty much out of the woods now re: her reputation and the need to defend her lowers over time #there's not much point when the remaining people convinced she's the devil are a bunch of mentally ill people #and those who exploit them who are now more and more exposed as frauds for the gp

[mx-mind]

Wow I feel better after therapy. I either have the choice to a. Continue healing and being open about what's going on and letting people in my life, or b. Immediately re-expose myself to my triggers to set myself back and block out everyone out because I'm fiiiiiine

#sky vents like amogus #not planning to re expose myself but whats stupid is one of my coping mechanisms is teetering on the verge of being one #so im like 'okay time to relax. just kidding youre getting anxiety now' #he did give some helpful advice about learning to recognize when im holding it and deciding if i want to set it down or keep holding

The most frustrating part of engaging in any of this discourse with pro-Israel people is that they claim there's just something ineffable about "seeing and understanding" how supporting Palestinian liberation is directly calling for the eradication of Jewish people (as if that type of rhetoric isn't exactly how actual antisemitism often manifests in online spaces but that's a topic for another day)

They get through people debunking the "the land belongs to the people of Israel anyway" argument and the "LGBTQ Palestinians are safe in Israel" argument and the "Genocide isn't what's happening here so you should educate yourself" argument and when all of those points are meticulously disproven over and over they still stand with "Well, myself and your Jewish friends see the hate you have in your heart for us" and it truly doesn't matter what you say at that point because even if you yourself are Jewish they will claim that refusing to support the state, government and military of Israel is inherently hateful and bigoted, as if a religious ethnostate is some inherent human right that is being taken away from them. I know many of them are blinded by the relentless propaganda that's been around their whole lives and how hard it is to break free from a belief system that is so tied to your core identity as a human being but it is so frustrating watching people being led straight to the point over and over again and just turning around and refusing to see it.

It's also so frustrating to see people using the momentum of this movement to casually tack on actual antisemitism to these discussions, as if having Jewish people in positions of power is why the US bends over backwards to excuse the actions of Israel and not, yknow, the fact that our government directly benefits from having a military stronghold in the middle east. I've talked to some well-meaning pro-Palestine friends irl who casually use antisemetic talking points because they've ALSO bought into the narrative that Israeli = Jewish and so they blame the actions of Israel and the IDF on Jewish people's "religious values" and ignore the fact that this conflict really has almost nothing to do with religion itself and everything to do with capitalism, imperialism and maintaining the US's status as a so-called "global power".

#dont get me wrong there are lots of people on the pro palestine side who are very much aware of and vigilant against antisemitic rhetoric #but i genuinely worry about some of my non-jewish leftist friends and allies falling down some super shady pipelines because of all of this #i spend a lot of my time on my public facing social media sharing articles and graphics and whatnot about antisemitism #and how careful we need to be when calling out these atrocities and our government's complicity in them #but when one side is genuinely claiming with no evidence or argument that being against colonial occupation is just antisemitism #it makes it so hard to call out actual antisemitism within these spaces bc it delegitimizes antisemitism as a concern #i just want to scream #like. im not even jewish and i vividly remember when we had a special lesson in girl scouts about how wonderful Israel is #and they had us make little mini versions of the israel flag and they told us that israel stood for the safety of the jewish people #and i came home and i told my mom about how cool israel was #and she promptly pulled me out of girl scouts #which at the time felt unfair because she didnt explain why #but also how do you explain the horrors of colonialism and imperialism to your newly zionist 10 year old #anyway the point is that if i as a non-jewish girl scout was exposed to that kind of propaganda #i can only imagine how inescapable it must be for many american jews in the US #and i truly empathize with the amount of unlearning that needs to be done #and how hard it must be to let go of some of these ideas #but that doesnt make it any less frustrating to watch these dynamics play out on such a massive scale #and i hold so much respect for people in white jewish communities re-educating themselves and standing on the right side of history #as well as for all of the people of color and especially American Palestinians standing up and using their voices as much as they do #personal

S4 Victims: Story by Proxy?

Okay so. In spitballing with Em...something stuck in my head.

So we all know how serial killers leave crumbs because deep down they want to be caught/want the truth to be revealed? Well what if the Duffers, or even current Henry, are doing the same thing. That is, leaving breadcrumbs.

This mainly has to do with the S4 victims, their stories, and the order in which they're chosen.

So, it goes like this:

Chrissy: Abusive mother who resembles Virginia

Fred: Eaten alive by the guilt of being responsible for the accidental death of an innocent.

Max: Suicidal over guilt about Billy's death and her response to it. Billy, who died saving her/while she was saving herself from the Fleshflayer, a regenerated form of the Mindflayer.

Patrick: Abusive father, not much else told.

Max (again): Suicidal Ideation, dies, soul taken, but was revived by El. She's now in some limbo-state, where her body lives but her identity/mind is elsewhere. She will likely be brought back entirely by El in S5.

It almost feels like a story by proxy if we piece it together.

So, let's piece it together:

Person with an abusive mother...feels responsible for the death of an innocent...a sibling who was killed while this person was trying to save themselves from a monster which came from Hawkins lab, which leaves them suicidal...and this person lives in a situation with an abusive father figure. This person becomes suicidal, and their suicide attempt was not entirely successful. They were revived by El, and end up in a limbo state. They may or may not be brought back by El later.

Now, let's collect details about our serial killer:

Abusive mother? Check. (No matter how we frame it, Virginia was not a good mother.)

Innocent died? Check. (Henry has nothing bad to say about Alice, which we know he would if she were not innocent, since he does this with every other victim.)

Sibling died as a result of saving oneself? Check. (The Creel massacre was a situation where Henry was, with whatever intentions we may assign for the other family members' deaths, trying to save himself from Virginia and by extension the lab.)

Ended up with an abusive father figure? Check. (Well...an abusive Papa, one might say.)

Brought back by El multiple times? Check. (El was the one who took Soteria out and brought Henry back from being powerless. El was the one who put Henry in the UD/limbo state. El was the one who opened the gate for his return to the RSU.)

IT ALL ALIGNS. So let's put it together with all the feelings involved:

Citations (I guess? Explanations?) are in the tags listed by number!

Henry had an abusive mother who was at least trying to have him shipped off to the lab, if not actually trying to kill him outright. This situation builds and builds, him wanting to be left alone (1), putting out subconscious and conscious cries for help (2), and her targeting him about it, until March 25th, 1959.

Virginia starts it, attacks, and this time she's out for blood (3). Henry defends himself (4). Virginia, being the parent with powers (5), doesn't actually die (6). Victor, Alice, and Henry go for the door (7). Virginia's on the stairs (8). She's got to finish what she started, since her original plan was botched (9). Henry puts his energy into trancing Victor (10), protecting him from Virginia, since logically two people can't occupy one person's mind.

This leaves good, innocent Alice to fend for herself, standing directly in front of the staircase. She's a loose end (11). Virginia kills her, but can't kill Henry or Victor while the trance is occurring. She figures Henry's going to run himself into the ground (12). She figures she can call Brenner in to collect Henry, like they planned (13). If she disappears, she figures it'll go into the news something like this:

"World War II veteran kills entire family in deranged fit of insanity. Wife missing, presumed dead. Son dies in hospital."

And on both counts, she's essentially right. It does basically go into the papers that way. Victor is taken in for murder, and Henry is taken by Brenner, but not before he sees that Alice was caught in the crossfire (14).

Henry ends up with Brenner, the abusive Papa. He's got the guilt about Alice's death, something that makes him sad and angry. Brenner, maybe, decides to push this in order to increase Henry's powers, but it backfires. Henry's powers increase, but he does...something. He lashes out, he snaps, maybe he even tries to kill himself. He's Brenner's prized pet, though, so Brenner can't let that happen. He seals Henry's powers away with Soteria. It's a death for Henry's entire identity, so far as to have him under the name Peter Ballard. Then comes along 011. She removes Soteria from Peter Ballard...and revives Henry Creel. She then exiles him to the Upside Down in 1979, only to eventually bring him back in 1983 when she opens the Mothergate.

All this to say: It could be his own story, told through the stories of his victims.

Breadcrumbs, or maybe...obvious things, which nobody by any chance ever observes.

Below the cut is where I speculate into motivations for his actions after Soteria's removal, so...not required reading for this particular analysis.

Years of MKUltra torture warp Henry's guilt about the situation into a bastardized, violent, brutal, unethical savior complex based in the notion that he's a predator by nature, but a predator for good. He "saves" the lab kids from a future like his own, filled with nothing but torture. He "saves" El from her ignorance about the lab and intended to have her join him, thereby attempting to "save" her, technically his little sister, from the lab entirely.

He "saves" his s4 victims from their guilt and suffering, which so closely mirror his own, which no one saved him from. I could even go so far as to say he was "saving" Will, who is set up to be so much like him, from a world of horrible people who (from Henry's viewpoint based on his lived experiences) would only serve to abuse and betray him.

This of course isn't to say any of it is right. None of it is right or good...but it makes sense. It follows a pattern. It coheres. The math...maths.

#Citations! #1: Henry often hides alone in the attic. #2: Victor's burning cradle vison (a child in need of help). The drawing of the Shadow Monster. Possibly Alice's nightmares. #2 (cont.): Can all be interpreted as calls for help. Children in distress act out and make disturbing art in hope of conveying that need. #3: Virginia may or may not have been trying to kill Henry but based on the Fleshflayer parallel re: sibling death...it's probable. #4: Henry himself describes that night as self defense/being forced to act. #5: Virginia likely had powers given that Henry has powers #6: Her powers are likely similar to Henry's and Henry has regenerative powers. There are also fishy scenes of her death which imply #6 (cont.): that she may have still been alive. These include: shots from her POV. The fact that her eyes are bloody-- #6 (cont.): but still intact in some shots. The unexplained POV from the top of the stairs. #7: Henry looks very nervous and fidgety at the door like he's antsy to leave with Alice and Victor #8: Again the unexplained POV on the stairs...stairs she earlier runs down after Henry gives her her mirror moment in the bathroom. #9: Henry was successful in disabling her initially which exposed her culpability. #10: Henry puts *so* much time into Victor in canon with basically no explanation why. #11: Alice seems to be a smart and upstanding girl. She might not be controllable re: Virginia being alive/the whole scheme with Brenner. #11 (cont.): The only way to eliminate that risk is to kill her...and we've already seen that Virginia is not good to at least one child. #12: If Virginia has powers like Henry's she likely has a sense of how long someone can be tranced before the trancer runs out of energy. #13: Who called Brenner to come get Henry during his coma? How did Henry end up in Brenner's hands specifically? #14: amerion-main's recent post re: Henry's position change in the foyer shots #End Citations! #This is all very much speculation when it comes to the actual path of events re: the Creel Massacre #but we can all agree that we don't have the full story about the Creels yet...so who knows. #henry/vecna/001 #henry creel analysis #henry creel #virginia creel #creel family #stranger things #stranger things analysis

imply women might like each other romantically to see celibacy defenders and 'stop being horny' warriors crawl out of the woodwork I guess

#the poll has exposed me to a lot of really depressing mindsets that I never realized we re so popular #in my little insulated bubble of being into dunmeshi with 12 other people the majority of whom are also wlw #like. damn these people really scream and cry and throw up at the idea of femslash #dont even get me started on the fact that the mithrun kabru ship won over them last year I am so fucking mad #at least there's plenty of support for the girls too for every disaparagibg comment #cor.txt

skimming through all of the dead text at the end of an old fic is so strange but weirdly satisfying and i could not even begin to explain why

#so like fun fact #all of the sort of half-sentences and not-quite-fully-formed ideas that i've had over the course of writing a fic don't actually get deleted #generally they just get relegated to the bottom of the document until either a) i've reached the point where i want to slot them back in #b) i've reworked the wording or whatever to make it fit better into the rest of the fic #or c) the fic has ended and i've decided i don't want to use them any more #so going back and reading them is kind of bizarre bc all of a sudden i am flung right back into the headspace of that fic and what it #felt like to write it #remembering 'oh yeah i was going to say that wasn't i' #and 'ooh that was a good phrase i should use that somewhere else' #and ' woah this would have been so different if they had done this instead of that' #its that sort of re-reading a diary feeling #the bottom of a fic document is a weird sort of liminal space for me it's fab #i'm back in the 'resist and elongate' document today to do some work on an alternate version #and included in that dead text is a list of the songs i was listening to as i wrote it #so i'm REALLY back in that space and it's great :DDD #the songs are a deeply bizarre mixture but its the vibe to ME #radiohead karma police is still the song of all time #i can drop the list if u like but it might be exposing my slightly hatstand music taste lmao
