It was funny before; when the cult leader allegations were more of an implication than an outright condemnation, and then, honestly, it was kind of funny after when he was Actually The Prince Of Darkness Apparently that he was born on the longest day of the year. Prince of Darkness born on the day with the least amount of darkness. Amazing. Failing upward since birth. Like there’s diminishing returns with getting older and the days that denote it - old enough to drive, old enough to die in a war, old enough to vote, old enough to drink, end of list, exciting birthdays over - not that he’s got a lot of room to talk re: time spent maturely, considering his hobbies largely consisting of a very elaborate game of pretend but like you grow out of this particular kind of thing eventually, right? Just like, one day you’re gonna stop feeling no different than you did when you were 17, right? Like some threshold of adulthood achieved surely exists, and there’s some point when you know you’ve crossed it? Right?

Ao3 version that lets you open the 'director's cut' where I, the author, explain every detail in excruciating detail to you and what it is in reference to.

Even before Hawkins received its Major Disaster Declaration he remembers Robin saying three fifths of the town’s population had vacated. Not “been evacuated”, not “relocated”. Vacated. Left.  Which is kind of funny to him, well, not “ha-ha funny” but like, funny - it's funny to him that the majority reaction to something unexplained and dangerous is simply to leave. To remove yourself from that situation of your own volition for your own safety and well being. (And this is to say nothing at all of the loss of life in the immediate aftermath of the drawing and quartering of Hawkins, Indiana.) He just figures his brain is just too scrambled and bruised at this point to have held onto that impulse. That. Or he’s just too fucking stupid. 

eddie munson is dead and the world ended. while the gang hurries up and waits to thwart the apocalypse amidst their shifting new normal, steve loses whatever ability to compartmentalize the last 4 years he's had, as the world around him becomes unrecognizable. and there's something in his yard.

what they don't tell you about stepping away from your work for a little while is that sometimes when you come back the thing you are looking at is Bad

Everyone keeps talking about "the writer's barely disguised fetish". But I still haven't heard about "the writer's barely disguised huge ass pet peeve"
