saw a grown woman on tiktok snidely calling gen z the christopher columbus generation bc someone’s fifteen year old son ‘thought he’d discovered weezer’. newsflash every generation finds out about the music of the previous generation at some point it comes free with being fifteen. being annoying about music also comes free with being fifteen. a kid saying yeah i’ve just found this band nirvana have you ever heard of them should be a thing of joy

whats great about the internet is that you can just ignore people who are fucking stupid and not waste your time on them, i say, white knuckling the sink and staring into the mirror

and is your shame helpful? is it inspiring goodness and change? or is it keeping you frozen in time unable to move on and be everything you have expanded to be?

i think its so funny in st fics, particularly steddie ones, when eddie groups nancy in with the popular kids or, god forbid, calls her the queen of hawkins high. like babe that was the plot of S1. nancy was a prissy little nerd that had one (1) friend and the popular kids didnt like her. you might be tempted to argue that she became popular by dating steve but actually the opposite is true and steve became unpopular by dating nancy. nancy was so tragically uncool it is not even funny. its why steve liked her so much lmao

#no yeah steve’s type is total losers #that’s what made his whole thing about robin not being his type because she wasn’t cool so unbelievable #steddie #stranger things

you know that trope of tragedy being inevitable and characters being doomed by the narrative from the start despite their best efforts to break the chain of their fate?

I feel like our flag means death really just turned that on it’s head and was like…what if comedy is inevitable, actually? what if despite the pain, the heartache, the terror, the trauma, the death, the desperation to forcibly remove yourself from the light—what if you had no choice but a happy ending? what if you were destined to be loved, even when you kept gripping the shoulders of the narrative and saying look, I’m not good, I’m not worthy, this ending cannot be meant for me—even when you looked the narrative in the eye and begged it to kill you?

what if the narrative said look, laughter and warmth is the point—you have no choice but to choose live?

there’s something about how Stede crossing out DEAD and circling ALIVE on the wanted poster like the silly little lover he is manages to be, like…the heart and thesis of the show all in one.

it’s baffling. it’s goofy. it’s a bit sad. it’s optimistic, despite. it’s love in action. it’s earnest beyond belief.

and—quite literally—it’s choosing live.

genuinely one of the saddest parts of this new era of the internet is how hard it is to rick roll someone now. with people's attention spans shortening so much, they wouldn't even get through the first few bait seconds before clicking off the video. like i saw a comment that ended with "btw i made all of this up" and the replies kept treating it so seriously because none of them finished the entire 4 sentence comment. and We're no strangers to love You know the rules and so do I (do I) A full commitment's what I'm thinking of You wouldn't get this from any other guy I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling Gotta make you understand Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry Never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
