this is where i complain about all the things european (and sometimes gen z) fic authors make stranger things characters say or do that they would never say BECAUSE THEY ARE AMERICANS IN THE 1980S COME ON YALL (yes. i *do* know i'm a bitch, thank you.)

man, is anybody privately talking shit about that one steddie who wants to fuck autocomplete, with the absolute word salad about "trying to start a revolution" and the complete non-understanding about what the current so-called "artificial intelligence" actually is? bc i would like to get in on that.

goddammit every time i accidentally reblog something to this instead of my main it just reinforces that i'm not a haterade side blog person. i should be hating on main!!!!
#but i genuinely don't want to harsh other people's fun#i just have to complain about how fucking BRITISH fans make these AMERICAN characters!!!! (seriously it's so stupid)#not that i follow or am followed by literally anyone i have ever complained about lmao - i have literally one follower#but still#(side note it extra sucks when i do this bc then i can't reblog it to my main without immediately revealing that i'm not so secretly a cunt#and that's a reveal i like to make a little later in my acquaintanceship with someone)

I’ve committed to having a haterade sideblog when I should’ve just accepted that my personality is haterade on main. Oh well. *shrug emoji*
#Literally not one of yall would know me so I guess it’s fine#and I have no interest in making anyone specifically feel bad#I just have so much to complain about!!!!#and I DO take it to the group chat!!! it’s just that nobody else is in the fandom so they don’t get it

Please, please little baby steddie authors, stop using the phrase “bad trip” in reference to weed. You sound so stupid. 💖

Somebody just posted a fic that sounded promising, I’m ready, I click through.
In the VERY FIRST SENTENCE, they call Eddie’s trailer a caravan.
Nope, I’m out.
#have you ever even watched stranger things?#have you ever heard it called “a caravan park” like even once?#fuck you very much#i will put potato flakes in your yard before a rainstorm

if you have any character in your fic "pop their p" on "yep" or "nope" you have guaranteed that I will leave neither kudos nor a comment.
it is at least every third fic i read. and i read A LOT of fic. stop it. it's not cute or unique and it does nothing but make your writing seem cliched, if not outright bad.

Nobody in Hawkins, Indiana has ever called their mother “mum” ESPECIALLY not Steve Harrington.

In one fic, this author has managed to make Steve Harrington call him "Jonathan bloody Byers" and to have him refer to sex as "shagging."
Presumably you have WATCHED the show? You have of course picked up on the fact that it is set IN AMERICA where teenagers in Indiana in the 1980s WOULD NOT have used the word "shagging" basically like ever?
#PLEASE#you can totally park your car right here i will not put a dead fish in your air vents i promise#i don't understand truly i do not#this shit is so fucking stupid!!!!!!

Younger writers. Please, just know that you could not skip to different songs on a cassette tape, that’s CDs. With tapes pressed fast forward or rewind and prayed.
Also, VHS tapes did not have menu screens. Your only options were play, fast forward, rewind, pause, stop, or eject.
Y’all are making me feel like the crypt keeper here, I’m begging you 😭
#again i say#you don't need a paragraph-long scene in your 1500-word BDSM fanfiction#where eddie (incorrectly) rewinds a VHS tape#WHY IS IT THERE#WE KNOW THIS SHIT SET IN THE 80S UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED#if it's just to show off that you know VHS tapes existed i'm just gonna stop you right there#i'm begging you to just leave it out if you don't know how it works

Just read a fic where the author seemed to be saying that Eddie was rewinding a VHS tape...by...hand?? Just like, holding it and rewinding it?
SORRY SMALL CHILDREN THAT IS NOT HOW THAT WORKS
#please normalize giving it a quick goog before writing about it if you don't understand how things work!!!!!!!!!!#also i promise that you don't actually need to give details about VHS/VCR functionality in your bdsm porn fics!!!!!!!#PLEASE stop
