Whenever I See Someone Claim That Alicent Has A Crush On Criston, I Lose Twenty Years Off My Lifespan

girls who learned all their vocab from books and are now constantly embarrassing themselves by pronouncing words slightly wrong in conversation

I started reading The Great Gatsby recently and OMG?! This is literally the fruitiest book I’ve ever read.

Like?? Every (and when I say every, I mean EVERY) character is just. So queercoded. They’re literally all living in glass closets like I for real won’t even be surprised if the end of this book is just everyone having gay sex.

No but for real, this feels like some sort of weird gay fever dream. Living for it though.

Anyways maybe I will do a further analysis on why I perceive each character as queer later on. Just needed to get this out of my system.

No but like actually considering turning this into a Duffer Brothers hate account right now

I HEAVILY fuck with characters who haunt the narrative (or even just haunt the epilogue/finale)

Please give me recommendations of Tv shows/ movies/ books with characters who give the vibe of

You Can’t Catch Me Now / Lover, You Should’ve Come Over / Silver Springs

PLEASE

I’ll put a few of my favorites in the tags

We need to write a song about this fr

you all know is he gay or european now let me introduce you to… is he heavily closeted or badly written

the irony of Mike and Will hiding in a closet together during the apocalypse is just too good the duffers have to use it please I would laugh so hard lmaooo

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.

Alicent's vs Daemon's treatment by the audience

papa tryin to support El after she comes out

No because I’m looking back at all the posts from the cast and the Duffers and Netflix and I feel like there’s something we r missing. Like I don’t think that’s actually what was supposed to be viewed. Because like the painting???? And Mike didn’t have an emotional monologue. And like Will didn’t come out. I just- idk maybe I’m reaching but it doesn’t feel like what we were supposed to get
