#and then in s4... they're both gripping so tight to a dead thing because they've never allowed their relationship to be anything else

the way elmike had the possibility of a very close and real and intimate friendship stolen out from under them because of heteronormativity telling them the only way they were meant to fit in each other's lives was romantically, even though neither of them truly wanted that... pushing them further apart... tragic. literally so tragic
#what am I ON tonight someone get me help since when do I care this much about the 2 of them#no but literally. season 1 they're understanding each other so well... it warms a bitch's heart#like truly it's the foundations of something so sweet but then everyone is telling them it must be romantic#and it sours it. now they're no longer just 2 people with a budding friendship#now they're a Boy And A Girl and The Boy And The Girl and can it get any more obvious?#and then in s4... they're both gripping so tight to a dead thing because they've never allowed their relationship to be anything else#they've never BEEN allowed to BE anything else#SO THEY'RE CONVINCED THAT IF THEY WANT TO BE IN EACH OTHER'S LIVES AT *ALL* IT HAS TO BE ONLY THAT WAY#THAT'S THE FUCK OF IT ALL#sorry that's my new favorite phrase all of a sudden#BUT WHAT. SORRY LIKE BEAUTIFUL ELMIKE FRIENDSHIP KILLED DEAD IN THE WATER BECAUSE OF FUCKING HETERONORMATIVITY#stranger things#el hopper#mike wheeler#elmike
