Rockie - Tumblr Posts
Rating every ST ship I know about IN DEPTH bcs I'm bored.
Byler - 6/10, I like them but I feel like they're growing apart now. I need mike to apologize for a lot and for them to be okay again, then maybe I'll rate them higher. I wouldn't mind them being endgame!
Mileven - 8/10 I'm so sorry. PLEASE. I'm guilty but please I swear they're just really cute. I can explain. They're so silly I want them to hold hands and happily skip through flower fields without sending Will into emotional and physical turmoil!
Madwheeler - 1/10 Okay? I mean. Alright. I don't have anything against them, it's not like they broke into my house and robbed me. They're cute, I guess.
Elmax - 9/10 I love them so much. They actually developed their friendship, and El is so much more herself when she's around Max. Overall, nothing bad about them. They're cuties.
Lumax - 8/10 I LOVE THEM. They're literally soulmates. I really hope they're happy in season 5 this season totally wrecked me.
Elumax - 10/10 WE'VE WON GUYS! This ship literally fixes me having to choose between Elmax and Lumax. Hopclair shippers also win with this one.
Hopclair - ok/10. One of my favorite moots mentioned them in a repost and I'm pretty neutral on them. See them as more platonic, though they would be cute romantic, too.
Duzie - 6/10, They were ADORABLE, loved the musical, and especially love the fanart. Not much to say abt them to be honest, they're just here to have a good time.
Henclair - 8/10 I love them SO MUCH. The airport scene where they were cuddling made me so happy. They have a special place in my heart, definitely a rare-pare though.
Byclair - 10/10 No need for explanation, they're cute, they're nice, they're non-toxic. It's like a breath of fresh air after being choked and water boarded with the angst of Stranger Things.
Wheelclair - 4/10 Cute, I guess. Personally, I don't ship them, but I see how people could, definitely. Wheelclair shippers be my friend challenge. (PLEASE)
Byerson - 4.5/10 They're cute. Once again see it as platonic, but I see how people would like it romantic.
Steddie - 2/10 Okay, I guess.
Stobin - 0/10 YIKES what.
Jancy - 8/10 Cute. Their development made me smile so big, and every scene they were In together was the cutest. (Especially the scar scene.) I have literally nothing against them, Johnathan was weird for taking those pictures back In season one, but I think literally everyone Is over that. In conclusion, they're good.
Stancy - 1/10 Okay. Not my thing, but It's not like I'm wretching and throwing up at the sight of them.
Rockie - 3/10 Cuties!
Ronance - 10/10 YES! I love them SO much. Infodumping gf x listening gf. They bring me so much joy, they're cute.
Jargyle - 8/10 Again, cute. Nothing against them.
Stonathan - 6/10 Ehh okay?
Stommy - 5/10 Side eye. Just kidding they're okay.
Boyce - 10/10 They're so cute. I sobbed at Bob's death because he was so nice and such a good father figure to Will and Johnathan. And Bob's vampire outfit, them watching movies together, and Bob coming to Joyce's work? They actually make me smile so big I love them.
Jopper - 5/10 OKAY I know people are going to be mad at me for this one, but I don't really care for them. I don't have anything against them they're just like mid to me.
Jaren - 6/10 Okay. I ranked them higher than Jopper purely because they're sapphic. They did have some cute scenes, but It does completely crush Jancy and Byler.
Harringrove - 0/10. Yikes. Honestly, I don't like either of them. Stay safe though!
(P.S, If I missed any, ask me about them in the comments.)
Chrissy, Robin, Nancy and Vickie are all sapphics in a polyamorous relationship, no I will not elaborate.
Being a multishipper in the Stranger Things fandom sucks.
Stop fighting. I'm literally insulting and defending myself every argument. I feel like I'm a 30 year old mom trying to get her kids to stop throwing mac and cheese at eachother. It's not very hard to respect ships.
Look, I don't ship some ships! But do you see me going on other people's posts and commenting stupid stuff like,
"____'s not gay!!"
"what.."
"*insert other ship* solos,"
No. Because I use my brain, which I know may be a confusing concept for some people who decide to hate on ships, and realize that they don't care. I don't care. NOBODY cares. Me commenting a hate comment Isn't going to make them drop to their knees In tears and stop shipping that. It's just going to be a minor inconvenience that makes them feel a little upset.
Just because I don't ship something doesn't mean I have to avidly hate on it like my balls are going to be bitten off If I don't. And I know this has something to do with the blatant homophobia in this community.
"i(nsert character) Isn't Autistic/Neurodivergent!" Why do you care? Are you gonna say Autism was invented in the 2000s? Honestly, with some of the crap in the Stranger Things fandom going on right now, I wouldn't be surprised.
"(Insert character) Isn't gay/trans! It was the 80's!" Again, why does this character not being straight have such a negative effect on you? Why do you care?
"They didn't even interact," Sure, but Stancy interacted for five seconds and the rest of the time they interacted it was almost always toxic, yet people are still shipping them? Why? Probably because they're straight. ( No hate to Stancy shippers!! )
Acknowledging a ships flaws and being a hateful asshole for no reason are two whole different things. And I think this fandom needs to learn how to be decent human beings again.
I've been in this fandom since 2016. I grew up with this show. And old fans? You guys need to get your shit together. The new fandom isn't ruining anything by having fun and making queer rep. If you're gonna be mad about that, fine, but just remember that you're the reason the Stranger Things fandom is ruined. You have made this fandom feel toxic and unwelcoming.
The Stranger Things fandom pee their pants anytime queer rep is mentioned. And people that do ship queer ships go out of their way to hate on the original ships. I don't get it, it's all so unnecessary. You're not proving anything by being an asshole. Anyways, this is just a minor rant! I still love stranger things fans I promise some of you just make me want to explode sometimes.
Unhinged thought of the day but: what if Vickie's character was actually introduced in Eddie's "place"? (hear me out pls! yes, I love Eddie too but neither of these characters existed before s4 so let's just do this little exercise alright?). Note: this became a long ass rant post, so I put it under the break lol
My biggest problem with Vickie's character is the fact that we have no idea who she is, she had like 3 scenes in the entire season and it seems like she was only created to be Robin's crush/future girlfriend. On the other side of this, we have Eddie (who I actually do like as a character), but it's been pointed out more than a few times that he was probably created 'cause the Duffers don't want to kill Steve or any of the main characters (and I think that is a very fair and solid theory/assumption). Ok, so back to Vickie. She could've been a part of Hellfire Club and more of a 'goth girl' (hello, Eden? she has Eden's look/vibe now), so when she is the one who witnesses Chrissy's death, she becomes a suspect and people start speculating about her being into satanic shit/witchcraft etc. So now SHE is the one that has to run and hide and Dustin vouches for her etc, and Robin has a crush on her/is her actual friend. Vickie now: has more than one connection to the plot and is connected to more than one character, so that when she becomes Robin's girlfriend in S5, we understand why, and we know who she is and why she is relevant not only as Robin's love interest but also to the larger story being told. Instead of st*ncy revival, there would be Rockie buildup. We, as the audience, would get why they should be involved romantically, and why Robin likes her etc etc. And she would be a part of the gang as well, and already know about the upside-down stuff too. For the buffy girlies out there, you all remember Riley Finn? (lol don't think about what you think/feel about his character, just. I'm trying to make a point here, ok?). He was absolutely introduced on the show to be Buffy's romantic interest, there is no doubt about it. BUT he was a central part of S4's storyline as well. He was there in the 'normal' everyday side of stuff, but he was also part of the 'shit that goes bump in the night' side of things, being a member of the Initiative and all... And, regardless of how bad or convoluted or just boring you might think it all was, he was plot-relevant as much as he was B's new love interest, yk? Imagine if instead of including him in the story they just went 'oh look! This is Riley, isn't he cute? Buffy has a crush on him. We haven't been able to insert him fully into the story but don't worry! Next season he will be so so relevant. Just you wait! ...Until next season. ...Which will be the last one.'
That is the point I am trying to make here. They could've made Vickie relevant from day one, but they chose not to. They perhaps didn't even deem it necessary. (I mean, she is just "Robin's crush" right? So who cares?? "Be grateful that we gave your favorite lesbian a love interest and shut up!"). And that just sucks imo, 'cause it didn't have to be that way... </3
Something I'd love to write is a Stranger Things/ 9-1-1 crossover where either Buck and Maddie are Robin and Vickle's adoptive kids,or Buck's their biological son,and Maddie is their adoptive daughter,whom Robin and Vickie adopted from Phillip and Margaret Buckley when Maddie was ten. Also,in the AU,Phillip Buckley is Robin's cousin. I just got inspired by Buck and Maddie's last name being Buckley,like Robin's.
Stranger Things top 3 (I don't really like much about the show except my favorite characters and ships)
Male Characters:
Eddie Munson (deserved better)
Steve Harrington (had a crush on him when I was like 15 lol)
Wayne Munson (best Uncle)
Female Characters:
Chrissy Cunningham (baby girl)
Robin Buckley (needs more exploration of her sexuality)
Nancy Wheeler (one of the first characters I liked when I started watching in 2018)
Ships:
Hellcheer (should've been canon)
Jancy (one of my first ST ships)
Rockie (Robin x Vickie) (they need to be canon)
If Hellcheer couldn't become canon, then Rockie should at least get to.
