So, just gonna put this out there before I can overthink this and chicken out.

But what if Eleanor is part of like a mini network of people in larry's circle who contribute to and or run a/the HL account(s). It would explain how they get content you can't find anywhere else and how some proofs pop up there before anywhere else. And why some of the pictures she posts on her own page are so suspect sometimes.

Idk man, just a thought.

I genuinely think @staff should give us an official Bot Kill Count where it ticks up every time a bot you reported is officially taken off by the tumblr team and when you hit a certain number you get gruesome little trophies. Gamification can be of the devil but in this particular case I need a little treat for doing my daily chore of taking out the trash

TIL that Billy Crystal’s character, Miracle Max, in the Princess Bride was so funny that it nearly stopped the production of the movie. One actor bruised a rib from clenching to try not to laugh.

So... I answered no before remembering that a firearm oriented guild at a ren faire let me fire a pistol during after-hours when I was like 12. They made sure an adult was helping me brace and I'm pretty sure it was a blank so not sure if that counts? 🙃🙃🙃 I just wasn't that interested at the time cause my brother and the boy faire brats wanted to do shooty things and we'd made a deal if I went along with them then they'd go along with me to the sword people.

Also country is America for like the sample size and whatever.

poll time!!

please reblog with your answer and country!!

i, for example, have fired a gun, and am from canada.

enjoy!!

edit to say: air rifles, bb guns, paintball markers, etc, DO NOT COUNT. only REAL firearms (as in gunpowder powered) count.

actually really messed up over the way that Steve Harrington is a character that’s desperate to be wanted by someone and the narrative repeatedly punishes him for it. he’s a very metaphorical and literal punching bag each season, but it’s Steve so it’s always a haha funny in hindsight moment or whatever trauma he goes through simply isn’t addressed afterwards.

like, it’s implied that his parents aren’t around much and/or they have an unhappy and unhealthy marriage (his mom has to follow his dad on business trips to make sure he isn’t cheating, which happens often enough that his friends can joke about it). his friends sucked and he obviously didn’t agree with or like some of the things they did, but at least they paid attention to him so it was something. he has a reputation for serial dating (or at the very least sleeping around) by the beginning of his junior year in high school. S1 has Nancy blow him off, lie to him, and then spend the night with Jonathan Byers in her bedroom, leading him to believe she’s cheating on him (and despite the audience knowing that’s not technically the case, there’s no denying that the scenes between Nancy and Jonathan were meant to imply romantic chemistry between them). in S2, drunk or not, Nancy is extremely cruel in the way she blames him in part for the death of her friend and calls their entire roughly year long relationship bullshit (which she never really apologizes for), after which she disappears for several days, leaving their relationship ambiguously over, only to show up again a few days later with the new boyfriend she spent over a year pining for. S3 he pours his heart out to Robin just to be rejected when there were totally different ways to work her coming out scene into the plot that didn’t involve spending x number of episodes hinting towards them as a couple just to pull a bait and switch for the audience. and then in S4 Steve is both insecure about his friendship with Dustin, who has more in common with Eddie than he does with Steve, and he has several different people telling him that he’s still interested in Nancy and that she’s also interested in him (Dustin, Robin, Eddie), only to have his heart kind of broken all over again when she goes right back to Jonathan. 

and that’s emotional pain on top of getting beaten or otherwise attacked every season. though arguably justified, in S1 Steve is slapped, punched, and shoved around. during his fight with Billy in S2, Steve is beaten to the point of being knocked out cold for an undetermined amount of time between roughly 10-30 minutes. this is treated like a joke in S3, but considering the number of blows he took to the head there should have been a very serious concern over him having a concussion at best and trauma to the brain at worst. S3 is the same, but the focus on him feeling “like [his] eye is about to pop out” implies ocular trauma. he’s then drugged and nearly has his fingernails ripped off as a form of torture. finally in S4 his bare back is dragged across the ground, he’s strangled, and he has chunks of flesh ripped out of his sides, which I can’t remember being addressed at all after the group returns from the upside down. 

that’s a lot to go through in the ~2.5 years that Stranger things covers. and what’s worse is that I can’t remember a single time where a character asks if he’s okay
