Gender fluidity is when youre sometimes a bitch and sometimes a bastard and sometimes a cunt

Thank you @platonicasever and everyone who got me to 100 reblogs!

Labour by Paris Paloma is for Alicent Hightower and Vampire by Olivia Rodrigo is for Rhaenyra Targaryen. Just for if anyone was wondering.

The Duffer brothers actually told me that Vecna sees how annoying Ted is and kills him and then brings all the dead characters back to life and then everyone dances over his grave (true story)

Maya, Joe, Joseph, Noah, and Finn really be carrying this show on their backs

ever since maya and natalie have been talking about leaning into ronance & joseph quinn has been saying a lot of things about how he changed eddie’s characters from the original creation done by the duffer brothers (his rings, being more friendly than mean, his queerness), i’ve been thinking a lot more about the way that fandom perceives writers opinions v actors' acting choices.

i think that fans tend to value the opinions of writers more than actors because we have been taught by some fandoms *cough cough* that actors' decisions are unimportant. when in reality, i think characters' personalities heavily come from the way the actor plays them and perceives them. this is very evident in joe and maya discussing the bathroom scene in s3 and joseph creating eddie's image.

no way in hell the duffer brothers intended for eddie to be a queer character. they have shown time and time again they don’t care about queer characters, let alone enough to make them well-written queer characters. however, joseph has stated that he intentionally played up eddie's attraction/flirtation to steve because he thought it fit his character.

i think in fandom we’re very easily dismissive of ourselves and our interpretations of media because we’ve been so harmed in the past by creators and writers of shows. i think a lot more emphasis needs to be placed on the way that actors interpret characters, because generally they are the ones that know the best since they play them.

this was long and rambly but heavily inspired by @wastedonyoursmile 's post about the duffers & queerbaiting.

saw someone point out that at times, Alicent acts more like an older sibling to her children, rather than having the typical parent-child dynamic (obviously bc she had them so young). and that got me thinking about how none of her relationships in the show feel typical. Her relationship with Otto has always felt more like a "partner" dynamic (bc he's always used her as such), and her relationship with Viserys feels more like parent and child at times (bc of the obvious age gap). Gwayne is more like a stranger to her rather than a sibling (from what we've seen so far).

all of what are supposed to be Alicent's most important relationships have been twisted into something completely different.

TEN MINUTES- OMG OMG OMG OMG

Oh and guys if we turn out to be delusional for real, let’s just agree to still stick together :)
