funny how people say gay people didn't exist in the 80s but somehow homophobia exists.

cant believe its canon that el actually knows how to play chess. like its shown in s4 that she can play pretty well

can you imagine a chess match between her and dustin lord he would be STRESSING

"checkmate :)"

"THATS NOT HOW YOU PLAY!!!!!!"

"it is how i learned."

"no you had weird lab rules rematch"

Imagine Billy walks in on El and Max giggling over one. Brushing its hair. And at first he’s like, “WTF aren’t you too old to play with dolls?” but then he sees it and El gets all pouty, “But she reminds me of you.” Max the little shit is cackling, waving the stupid thing in his face. “I think Little Pretty is a boy. Billy don’t you think he looks like a boy?”

“Get that thing out of my face!” he snaps, thinking how he’s gonna steal it and burry it in the yard if he doesn’t light it on fire first.

My fav prove of Mleven being bones is this:

We were shown in s2 and s4 how El channelled love to boost her powers. That made her slightly levitate and it created a bright light around her. (The pictures are bad but you’ve seen the scenes.)

We were also shown how Henry/001 taught El to channel anger when she needed a power boost. There was no light nor levitating there. It looked like this:

And then we have the season 4 finale, where El fights Vecna right after hearing Mike’s ”love confession”:

No light

No levitating

And she’s using only one hand, unlike in the first two scenes where she channelled love…

El did not feel loved after Mike’s speech. She felt angry. And she only started fighting after Mike told her to fight, not after the dozen i love yous…

Conclusion: Mleven is bones.

There is not NEARLY enough appreciation for how pivotal it was for El to be able to stand her ground against brenner multiple times while he was using all of his fucked up manipulation tactics and constantly triggering her past trauma.

And then, like the queen she is, el actively chose to not forgive him and say she understood him just bc he was dying. All she said was “goodbye, papa.” Acknowledging their relationship for what it has been, and refusing to let him guilt her into putting up with his abuse anymore. That was SUCH a powerful scene and we should talk abt it more bc as someone who’s been abused, I actually CRIED I was so proud of her.

So TIRED of everyone only focusing on the Mike part of El’s s4 arc, she was so fucking amazing this season and finally found her independence from the manipulative, and in brenner’s case ABUSIVE, men in her life. I love Mike but this ain’t abt him anymore. I’m done with El’s arc being abt him in any way.

will centric headcanons if the byers hadn't moved to california

- first day of high school eddie sees mike, dustin and will (lucas dips saying he had a doubt in a class but really he wanted to sign up for the basketball team) and immediately pulls them to their table.

- surprisingly, will is the one who's most conversational. eddie is like jonathan but in gothic font. louder and bolder about not fitting in. he gets jonathan and so yes, he gets eddie too.

- when eddie tells them about hellfire, mike is the reluctant one. something about eddie makes him nervous. but dustin is almost going to pull out a model supported presentation of why they should join the club. it's actually will's well concealed excitement that makes him agree.

- when the club members tell them that eddie is the best dm ever, will unthinkingly says that for him mike is the best. mike stays claiming that the redness in his face is heat for the rest of the day.

- it's actually eddie that mike approaches for advice on el. he isn't sure he really wants anything more than friendship anymore, seeing as how a relationship had put more strain on their bond than anything else. eddie is the one who advices him to extend the 'break' and try being friends. both mike and el find it much more comfortable after that.

- max and will grow close since el and max are close. they bond over music and exchange mixtapes.

- will is the one who figures out that lucas is trying for basketball. he actually finds lucas borrowing books on exercises and that tips him off. that and the newly purchased basketball lucas thinks he's hiding very well in his backpack. he helps lucas tell the party and while mike an dustin are on the fence about it, will threatens to withhold character sheets if they didn't agree to be supportive. mike and dustin fold like wet tissue.

- eddie notices will doodling one time in the middle of planning a campaign he was co-dming with mike. he asks and before will can respond, mike goes off on a rant about how will makes these character sheets for them and how they're just amazing. after that, eddie asks will to design a logo for hellfire. that's the logo they get on the shirts. will almost tears up seeing his design be loved so much that even people uninterested in dnd ask for shirts.

- dustin drags steve and robin to hellfire one Friday when they'd both taken the day off. eddie spends the whole time entertaining them by driving steve up the wall.

- lucas finds himself unsure of whether anyone would turn up for his games. he's shocked to see the whole party, with el and max standing next to erica. he does leave the bench that game, just as a sub for a while, and he does score a point. the cheers from his friends ring around the gym.

- one day will comes in far more subdued than normal and mike is prickly and overprotective. dustin fills eddie in and tells him about the bullying will still goes through (it's reduced, because will isn't small and helpless anymore and he snaps back now but it still weighs on him) and so the next day at recess, eddie loudly tells will to simply tell him if he encounters trouble and that he knows people who'll set the troublemakers straight (he winks at will when he says "straight" and will realises that he's probably not the only one who feels that unique brand of detatchment). will isn't bothered at all after that. mike approaches eddie later and thanks him quietly because there's somethings even he can't stop from hurting will no matter how much he tries. eddie pats his back and says "of course. you're our kids, we take care of you." and mike feels himself tearing up.

- will extends his artistic skills beyond canvas and paper. first is max, who quietly asks is he could design her skateboard so rather than the yellow and orange that reminded her of cali and Billy's eyes, he paints it a midnight blue with galaxies. it comforts max to look at far more than visits to the therapist.

- el asks will if he could cover her 011 tattoo. he grabs some permanent markers and doodles over the numbers. every two weeks he refreshes it with something new.

- they invite erica to join hellfire. el and max would join sometimes but they never got very invested. erica on the other hand had a clear cut idea of who she was and how she played.

- erica's favourite party member after the girls was will. mostly because he'd draw just about anything she asked and he's the only one who didn't laugh when she introduced the concept for her character.

- will gets the habit of pins and badges from eddie and starts making and wearing his own. mike has a box full of discarded designs that will wasn't satisfied with but mike couldn't bear to throw away anything will created.

- will makes el a badge with a police cap and now el wears it wherever she goes.

- dustin dares will to make the cheesiest one for him so will just traces the boundaries of Utah and adds a heart. dustin wears it proudly.

- will starts making potraits for everyone in their birthday. el is the first one who gets a potrait, followed by nancy, his mom, lucas, mike, max, dustin and jonathan. on 13th Feb they're hanging out at family video and he hears steve bemoan how single and lonely he is, so he makes a sweet lil postcard with a picture of all of them to remind him that he has them. robin later tells will that steve sobbed like a baby and the postcard has taken permanent residence in his wallet. the next day he brings one for robin too as a thank you for being the one who understood him and was there for him besides eddie. steve tells him that robin sobbed too.

[distinguisheddingus]

I was rewatching Stranger Things and only now did I notice this detail which I found very interesting and cute in some ways.

El seems fascinated by Nancy from the first moment she set foot in the Wheeler house. She has saved Nancy twice, and it seems like she kind of has an eye for the girl and I don't think it's something about Mike, in the sense of "I care about her because she's Mike's sister", but more like a true and tacit admiration.

I would really love to see more scenes of the two of them together.

What do you think about it?

Does anyone know anything about El’s Strawberry Festival shirt?

It has Hawkins, Indiana on it so it’s not a real shirt from the 80’s. They made it for the show. But why?
