this is the only time i will ever speak about st on this blog, but the show should've centered around Kali & she should've been canonically sapphic.

(if you're in any way interested in what i actually mean, i suggest reading the tags. i tend to elaborate there more often than in actual posts- i'm trying to break the habit, but it's where we are rn.)

#stranger things #kali prasad #linnea berthelsen #b*lly weirdos dni he's racist & if you compare his trauma to the systemic abuse faced at the hands of the american government by a woc #im gonna gut you :) peace n love on planet earth #but for real it would've been so much more... inspired i guess is the right word to tackle the concept of these big government secrets whil #centering around a protagonist who is part of the groups that the united states has targetted with the most vitrol & tmm the most frequentl #-ly with that kind of shady shit. and to give her a chance to fight back & reclaim her agency & come to a place where she can feel safe how #-ever that may look. and the inital set up for both Kali & her possee (sp?) overall had so much room for character & relationship developme #-nt & growing up. like it very much could have functioned as the above AS WELL AS a coming of age story for people who are held back in #life by the trauma they have to work through first in order to be able to participate healthily and ‟wholly‟ ig you'd say #and it would have given them a chance to explore all their more nostalgic inspirations while feeling less derivative and almost same-y as #*it would be giving the perspective to someone who was not previously allowed to occupy those spaces due to structural racism in the film &#televison industries #and also she's punk and cool and what we know of the group's ideologies leaves room to explore some really interesting intersectional femin #ist/leftist & potentially even anarchofeminist themes which considering the human antagonists of the show. intrigues me very greatly #and also i think she's pretty and linnea berthelsen is a v talented actress who deserves far more credit- esp because she had like what? a #few hours tops to get Kali across to the audience? and she did THAT. legend #if anyone from the og cast has to show up it can be nancy investigating & they can have a rival to lovers arc where kali knocks nancy down #a few pegs causing nancy to reassess her perspective & have gil blyther + zuko levels of character growth before helping kali destroy the g #-overnment in the way most couples would get each other roses <3 #*anyone other than jane
