I have of course my issues with stranger things but I can't lie, when season 4 vol 1 came out I was so obsessed with it. I loved it so much.
I feel like that season is so fucking good and the way they handled max storyline especially was heartbreakingly beautiful.
Are the other storylines weaker compared to it ? Yeah, especially the russia plot that I skip whenever I rewatch stuff. But damn I binged that volume in one sitting and it had been A WHILE since any show gripped me so much I watched it without stopping.
Also I got Ronance teaming up so I was incredibly happy about that development.
Vol 2 was lackluster to an extent and it didn't hit as much even though max and lucas side of things were incredible.
In general I do have a lot of love for the show. I have been watching it since it started and it's wild that I am 24 now and we are waiting for the last season.
I think in general there is a lot of stuff I love from each season and I go back to because I genuinely enjoy a lot of the characters.
Robin, Nancy and Max may be favorites but i care for most of the cast and that is a lot! The dynamics of the group make it work.

Alenoah, where Noah cares about Alejandro, more than Alejandro's family did:
Noah: I will now torture you.
Alejandro: Kinky!~
Noah: I think you are brilliant and beautiful.
Alejandro: Wait!
Noah: You deserve to be cared for and loved, despite your mistakes.
Alejandro: No!
Noah: Your feelings and needs are valid, and deserve to be heard.
Alejandro: I need a safeword! 😳
Real.

whenever I have a particularly bad time online with all the bullshit that gets passed around I try to remember that post that I can’t remember the exact elegant wording they used but whose point was effectively “No one who has tried to care as much as possible about every single thing wrong in the world has ever succeeded and the ones that I found have made the most difference in the world are those who picked one thing and cared really really hard about trying to fix it”. And I really try to focus on how the internet’s morals shift by popular stance and trend every 3 years and how algorithms are pushing for constant conflict and how people are falling under the controlled systematic internet narrative that the world is out to get absolutely everyone and everything and everyone other than you is evil and wrong and….and I try really hard to focus on my memories and experiences of real life. I remember the older lgbt couples shopping my store where I worked as a teen. I remember the little tween girls in religious headwear buying hair dye from my register and giggling to each other in excitement as they went home. I think about the veteran trans woman in my local scene and community whom was offered respect and validity by my peers, whom I traveled with as a kid to an event out of state. I think about the fundraisers my local scene put on for members of the community who got injured. I think of the local shops who make every effort to give back to the community and ask for nothing in return. I try to remember how much that matters, how much doing something or respecting someone you meet irl will always matter more than agreeing or disagreeing with someone over a vague concept online ever will. I don’t have any pretty words or conclusive sentiments to add to this I just wanted to push some of the stress of seeing the constant rage and conflict and bullshit on the internet off my chest and put something else into it’s place instead

I don't think I ever posted these but here's some art I made for Kwite's fursona fanart contest. I advanced to the second round which I'm really proud of. I didn't make it past that but even though I (kinda/almost/it's literally one more class ushdhdkkgh) graduated college and had my art in a show, this is my greatest accomplishment as an artist.

Since we are discussing romantic partners... Stan goes for someone who would make him laugh / laughs at or at least enjoys or tolerates his jokes, someone who listens and wants to spend time with him, someone who would go along with his schemes or at the very least not be put off by them. Also, I don't think he'd like anyone who actively tries to change him.
Honestly, he is probably not the best partner; he has admitted that he doesn't think before he says anything and often gets slapped, he lies compulsively even to people he cares about, he 'has little regard for other people's emotions or possessions', but that could just be him putting up walls because he doesn't want people to get close/living a lie for three decades and it's hard to be yourself after that. And, y'know. He's just unabashedly a jerk.
One thing is for sure, Stan would fight for you. He would kill for you. He has your back. You mess with someone he loves, and you mess with the Pines family type deal. He flew out to Vegas to marry a damn coin-operated machine, so flings would be quite chaotic, but they'd also be fun. He also seems to be weird with money (won't buy Mabel pancakes because of the 'expensive flour' but will openly bribe people/go to Vegas), so gifts might be sparse, but if you like doing nothing like watching TV or playing cards or going for a road trip then he's the guy for you.
He's a lot, but if he loves you, he will love you fiercely.
