Fuck The Duffers - Tumblr Posts
i never expected byler, ronance or steddie to happen. but for a show that handled robin being a lesbian so well in s3 (although i do have some things to complain about that, i was satisfied with it because her coming out scene with steve was beautiful), i sure was fucking disappointed. the duffers are sick for thinking any of the shit in vol2 is good representation.
to tell us will was going to come out, which is a HUGE deal, and then leave his queerness simply as subtext. he never confesses, he never says “i am gay”. instead we get a heartfelt monologue about his feelings for mike that only serves for mileven development.
don’t get me wrong. i loved his scene with jonathan. but we don’t need implied representation. we need more characters who actually say they are lgbtq+ onscreen.
as for robin... to have her side-lined and with a romantic partner that is basically her clone is just disgusting for me. i wish i could have liked vickie because i love amybeth but i just don’t. like, her bf broke up with her and suddenly she likes robin? out of the blue? and we’re supposed to love that? no. fuck that.
it’s 2022. the duffers deserve to get a lot of shit for treating their queer characters like that. fuck them. there’s no excuse.
How I’m feeling now I’ve had time to process the bullshit I just watched
This is a duffer brothers slander account now. If they don’t bring my baby back I’m burning down the studio
this mf better be resurrected like jesus in season 5
A Stranger Things 4 Volume 2 Fix-It List
warning: contains major spoilers. I’m certain there are things I missed but I’m so disappointed rn I can’t get them all
since we can all agree volume 2 did not meet expectations, i am adding this as a list of what i will accept as canon instead of… whatever it is that we got:
stancy is dead, gone, buried and had always been such. steve deserves his “brood of harringtons” with someone who appreciates him, not dismisses him as dumb
if we must be forced to see more steve and nancy interactions, it would be kinda refreshing to have something truly platonic. but that’s if and only if nancy supports him and doesn’t always make him feel stupid. i’m not gonna waste any more breath on this stupid shit
eddie made a promise not to try to be a hero, and he sure as fuck is gonna keep that promise. he would never leave dustin like that. he climbed that fucking rope. no man left behind
that scene where mike confesses his love to eleven is uncomfortable and truly highlights how codependent their relationship is. and will is really out here getting caught in the middle of it all. not really a fix, just an ick
jason dies instead of eddie. police point to his increasingly erratic and violent behavior, including beating up a 14 y/o boy and putting a hand on an 11 y/o girl with his shitty friends as evidence. it makes sense, given he was there when patrick died and chrissy was his gf. everyone thinks it’s a psychotic break. eddie’s name is cleared and he finally gets his diploma.
max, my sweet little badass, wakes up from her coma. she is gonna be okay. and she and lucas finally get to see their movie
@chestharrington did i miss anything? feel free to add
everyone saying that at least the duffer brothers gave us two gay ships. NO THEY DIDNT??? THE WAY THEY HYPED UP WILL’S SEXUALITY BEING A BIG PART AND IT WAS NEVER EVEN EXPLICITLY MENTIONED? THEY ALSO HYPED UP VICKIE AND ROBIN GETTING A GIRLFRIEND FOR THEIR TO BE A GRAND TOTAL OF THREE *THREE* SCENES WITH VICKIE IN AND ROBIN HAS NO CLUE IF SHES EVEN GAY. NOT TO MENTION THEY WERE ALMOST THE SAME MF PERSON? LIKE WHAT?? VICKIE REPEATS PART OF ROBINS MONOLOGUE EARLIER IN THE SEASON AND THATS SUPPOSED TO BE RELATIONSHIP GOALS? no. i do not care about the jancy/stancy love triangle theyre trying to push. for the amount they hyped up potential lgbt relationships i was severely disappointed. shout out to joseph quinn for giving us the most in his scenes with joe keery. fuck the duffle bags.
I can`t fucking believe that vol 2 was written so fucking poorly and talentless. like wtf was this??? this was the thing that we`ve all waited so impatiently for a month?? that`s some sick and stupid joke. st s4 vol 1 was actually pretty good AND THEN WE GOT THIS BULLSHIT AND DON`T GET ME STARTED ON MY BOY EDDIE. WE REALLY GOT ANOTHER FUCKING PRECIOUS QUEERCODED EDDIE IN 80TH WHO FUCKING DIED IN SOME INTERDIMENSIONAL SHITHOLE)))) WHO COULD`VE BEEN SAVED)) ONCE! AGAIN! THEY COULD HAVE PULLED HIM OUT this boy deserved so much more also downgrading steve to being nancy simp))) shut the fuck up. get fucked. eat dirt, duffers
I swear from this time on after eddie kaspbrak and eddie munson I WILL NEVER HAVE ANOTHER QUEER CODED LIL GUY IN A HORROR SETTING IN THE 80TH NAMED EDDIE IN MY FAVS E V E R I`M DONE WITH EDDIES I`m done being heartbroken and treated like that and they both should have been AT LEAST pulled out of this pit
“why do you want every character to be queer“, “you already have one openly confirmed gay character - that`s enough”, “there weren`t any gays in the eighties, that`s so not real“- we`re talking about a fucking sci-fi show about super powers, another dimension and monster creatures - I`m pretty sure these are the things that weren`t real in the eighties and not lgbtq+ people eat dirt.
It`s the way that we continue to find out that all the iconic lines, the uniqueness of characters - these all came from the actors. because they understand their characters to the tee. so why the fuck do we need the dumpers to write the script when all they do is ruin the originality that the show had in the first 2 seasons, they destroy the character development, queerbait and write some stupid deaths that shouldn`t have happened. it`s such bullshit. all i`m saying is that we should fire them and let joe quinn rule it
Ok, it`s the delusional stage BUT correct me if i`m wrong but we haven`t actually seen anybody die in the upside down... people died in hawkins, but not there. will had been able to survive there for a long ass time and now we know that vecna is still alive and i repeat - we haven`t seen anybody die there so?? eds?? my love?? stay where you`re, i`m coming to get you, babygirl
i think the reason why we like eddie so much, why his death affected us so much, even though it was rather predictable with such shity writers, is because a lot of us see us in him. this dorky, nerdy, affectionate goofball that can`t seem to be still for a minute, who looks for some people quite intimidating, but actually he is a big softy, who adopts people under hiw wing so they won`t feel excluded. he is misunderstood by many. he spends his days either perfecting the route for the game or learning new tunes - what a menace to society! well, and selling some stuff between all it... he is the character with whom you sympathise, whom you want to succeed in the end. he is just so warm and familiar that such way of dealing with his character is such a slap in our faces. eddie, my love, you will always be famous
