Dustin Henderson they can never make me believe you could ever clock a queer person without it being said straight to your face you’re a stobin shipper in the year of our lord 1986 for fucks sake.

i think that the "it ties us together forever" jancy conversation might be that jancy are scared if they go to different colleges/different ways they'll fall out or something and jonathan is reassuring her that after everything there's no way they could forget each other or something like that. like, that the love will always be there no matter what. nothing, not time or distance, will wash away the time they shared, all of their history, who they influenced each other to be, and what they brought out of each other. i think! it just seems like a jonathan thing to say and it would be the resolution to his avoidant fears last season where he was too afraid to be honest with her.

The "it was all a d&d game and they're back in Mike's basement" theory is so funny to me because like...

Assuming that everything that happens in the show is part of the "campaign", you're telling me a group of eleven year olds sat in a basement in 1983 and one of them was like "and what if my character is in love with your character and spends years quietly suffering, thinking his feelings are unrequited?" And the other went "got it" and started penciling emotional repression and internalised homophobia onto his character sheet.

Will: roleplaying, trembling voice "and when you're different, you feel like a mistake..."

Mike: age 11, scribbling furiously “he’s in love with me but I’m too emotionally repressed to notice.”

I hope everything's alright, feather! sending you the best vibes, and hope to see you again soon!

Heyyyyyyy! It's been a while, but I'm doing fine, don't worry! Just college exams kicking my ass, so I stopped most fandom related stuff to work on those. BUT I survived and will be coming back on here now! Just in time for the new promo too!

This was such a sweet message in my inbox though, so thank you so much <3 I hope you're doing well too and I'm glad to be back ^^

Tiny Will, the first year after Lonnie left for good, making a father's day craft at school for him anyway because surely he's going to be home again by Father's Day, or at the very least come visit. He excitedly shows it off to Jonathan when he gets home, and Jonathan has to gently remind him Lonnie's not coming back this time, remember? and who knows when they'll see him next (thank god for that, Jonathan thinks, but doesn't say). Then he assures Will that his gift is totally brilliant, and it's too good for Lonnie, he doesn't deserve it anyway. Afterwards Jonathan thinks this speech is only half effective, because of course Will, ever the optimist, spends the rest of the week holding out hope that Lonnie will show up, right until the end. But when Father's Day comes, Lonnie never does show up.

And it's not that Will's surprised that Jonathan was right (Jonathan is usually right, especially when it comes to Lonnie), but he still can't help the disappointment that's swallowing him whole. He wants to smash up the gift and throw it in the bin, forget he ever cared. But then comes Jonathan, who spends the whole day with him and keeps him busy and distracted and as happy as he can. And at the end of the day Will decides to present the gift to Jonathan instead (he's had to cross off "Dad" and scrawl in "Jonathan," and he knows it's sort of ruined it and he's sorry it's not as a good now, he says sheepishly...[Jonathan is fighting back a tear and cradling it like it's his most sacred possession, mind you]). After that, whenever Will has to do a father's day craft at school he goes ahead and makes it for Jonathan instead.

Jonathan holds on to every single one of these gifts and can't bring himself to toss any of them, even when they're packing up to move to Lenora. Even when they just sit in a box in his closet in California, along with the camera he no longer uses and old photographs he took of their family and the mixtapes he exchanged with Nancy and everything else that matters most to him that has never felt more far away.

I fear this is Will & Joyce core. To me.

Sometimes, there are worthwhile things to find on Reddit. Or on Reddit reposted from Tumblr I suppose. Might as well make something sweet out of google shoving AI into people's faces.

Mike would not scream and run away from a spider. He’d probably get on the ground to examine it or, god forbid, pick it up lmaoo.

The teaser: "when it came for you"

Somehow ST Reddit : Will being taken was a complete coincidence, he was at the wrong place at the wrong time (despite the monster having clearly followed him) and he is not important to anything.

What if I said that El is objectified by the narrative. But not in a 'one note sexualised love interest' way, but in a 'she has become the sole plot device to push the narrative that the attempt to critique how characters intensionally/unintentionally objectify her falls flat when the only thing the writers can think of to resolve 95% conflict post s2 is her powers rather than taking the time to develop who she is outside of that' way.
