Mustard & Ketchup

A more fun than serious post. It was the first thing I thought of when I saw Deadpool & Wolverine. And they seriously made an ad with Heinz. 🤣 (btw in a bts clip, both actresses sing a ketchup and mustard song)

I mean, it's kinda hilarious. Not a direct connecti....oh,wait. The director of the movie is Shawn Levy. (And he put a Stranger Things reference in it, I believe)

Besides....there's the Unbreakable reference in S3 and Max Mayfield reading Wonder Woman to El (MM....WW, like her mirror image in the gym points to El) and the Superman reference of course (El's hair curl and her costume in 5).

Superman:

Unbreakable:

David Dunn's weakness is water btw.

Water. Like in hydrophobia or rabies. Another element I want to talk about for some time now.

Wonder Woman:

elmax being each others superheroes and saving/helping/protecting each other.

bonus: max saving el from mike, the patriarchy, and giving her choices/letting el make her own decisions.

byler and elmax hugging in the same scene i am kicking my feet in the air

[eclipsebyler]

there’s no heterosexual explanation for this

I’m surprised they haven’t kissed in one of these scenes because of the tension...

[prettyboybyers]

Its Max in Els clothes :)

It's bad ik

“You only hate Mileven bc it’s straight!”

Not quite!! Maybe if Milkvan was as good as this top tier, adorable, romantic, genuine, authentic, passionate, and likable relationship these two have I would actually enjoy it.

Eggos isn't real food. - El is real....

Eggos is not real food and a metaphor (or allegory - depending) for Mileven: not real.

Food, people eating, drinking, consuming is something used many times in Stranger Things. Eggos (as not real food), pineapple pizza as fusion kitchen, burritos are mentioned, Coke is a constant thing, Skittles are swallowed, references to the Last Supper, then Ravenous is in the ST DNA and of course "When One kills he doesn't simply kill. He consumes".

"The week is long. The silver cat feeds when Blue meets Yellow in the west...."

7 Eleven. "The Week is long", a week has 7 days. Eleven. 011. Seriously?

Food and consumer.

Love goes through the stomach...

serious question. when has anyone ever seen el This happy with mike? when has anyone seen her smile and laugh and be free this much around and with mike? exactly.

max's memories v.s. el's memories

here is every memory that comes to max in 4x04 when she's being vecna'd

that's 15 different memories that come to her UNPROMPTED

here is every memory that comes to el while she's being choked by vecna, and as her boyfriend is confessing his supposed love to her

one. singular. memory. 

all of those memories with mike and she only thinks of one, and it's the one specific thing mike mentioned in his whole 2 minute long monologue

if there were no memories shown in that scene at all i would be a little more reluctant to compare these, but that fact that they show ONE confirms it for me.

because as mike is saying these things she has no memories that match what he is saying. "i love you on your good days and bad days, with your powers without your powers" nothing comes to her. because he's never acted that way to her.

i'm pretty sure that every single person finished season 4 believing that lucas and max are in love. and they never had to say it once. max didn't need lucas to go on a rant about how much he loves her even though they were distant and had issues. all he had to say was "i'm right here" and the happy memories came flooding to her.

and to make it EVEN WORSE.

not even 5 minutes after she hears mike's monologue, this happens:

here is all the memories that come to el when she saves max. and there are also multiple audio clips that play, including "Not Hopper, not Mike, you."

10 different memories.

unprompted.

milkvan is BONES.
