in a world where eddie lives he and steve would both kiss each other’s matching demobat scars. they would tenderly trace them, saying how beautiful the other is

SPOILER WARNING

So you're telling me, they just left his body there? In the upside down forever? That no one cared or mourned but Dustin? That they let him be called a murderer and cult leader with no one fighting back against those allegations? That max can survive several broken bones and a whole standoff with vecna but Eddie dies in vain to fulfill some heroic redemption arc that wasn't necessary? He deserved better than that. Fuck you stranger Things and the way you introduce characters just to kill them off.

Eddie wake up, I don't like this, Eddie wake up

Here's the thing I've been ruminating on... Whether the Duffers were queer baiting or are a bit homophobic or scared to actually make any characters queer bc the straight audience is the important audience or whatever-- The cast, tho, aren't. I think possibly what they've been hinting at or alluding to is that whether they were supposed to or not... They were playing their character that way. Like Maya and Natalia were leaning into the chemistry and like the idea of ronance. Like Joseph making Eddie flirty with Steve and Keery being on board with it. Or Noah and Finn do think Will and Mike like each other. And yeah, you could say it's another form of queer baiting but I see it more as the Duffers aren't going to make it canon but the actors actually know what people want and give us what they can. Does that make sense?

I could be way off with this but... It's just food for thought and all that.

my search history after starting my attempt at writing the stranger things season 4 fix-it fic:

[mitzidraws]

almost done with my steddie art that i finished pre-vol2, i hope you guys enjoy because i know that it’s the only thing that’s improved my mental state since june 1st

[mitzidraws]

genuinely. there is something So disgusting to me about them building an entire season around

a villain who targets people who are already struggling and implied to be suicidal

the unjust demonization, alienation, and persecution of people who are different, namely those who are poor, neurodivergent, gay, etc.

and then those two building blocks of the season end with:

a poor, abused, suicidal teenage girl who fought tooth and nail to keep going ultimately being tortured to death and then stuck in a coma with all of her fucking bones snapped and her sight potentially gone

a poor boy who struggles in school and is an outcast and treated like a freak for being himself, who only wants to fucking graduate high school and be a better person than his shitty father being falsely accused of murder, hunted down by people who want to kill him, painted as a coward by the narrative for making reasonable choices, ultimately dying a pointless death and being remembered as a murderer.

like. not to even mention the way that a gay kid's struggle with his sexuality and feelings for his best friend are ultimately just used to push that friend closer to his girlfriend. like. god i'll probably end up writing something more articulate about this later but i am So deeply disappointed and i don't understand why the duffers would choose to engage with these themes if This is how they were gonna handle them.

i will now be rereading all the steddie fics that were released before vol 2 on ao3 thank you and good night

what really gets me is that eddie’s death was so preventable. he could’ve gone up that rope. he could’ve kept running and found shelter. he didn’t need to be a hero for the town that literally hated him. the demobats were incapacitated within minutes of him running from the trailer. and the town still thinks he’s a murderer. the duffers really said “well we need at least one death” and fucking chose eddie and gave him a basically meaningless sacrifice. fuck not running and fuck being a hero, dustin and mike looked up to him so much and idolized him (and will would’ve too if he got to meet him). the duffers gave us such a lovable and relatable character that everybody adored, only to rip him away within one season because god forbid they go without a death.

i am bitter. and not well.
