Lucas next season

[hellinhawkins]

do you ever just. wow. what started as a little show on netflix about the government and child experiments and friendship is now one of the #1 shows on netflix and like. enjoyed everywhere! and now it’s gone from that little thing to this huge franchise about russians and government conspiracies and romance and friendship and like?? discovering yourself. how did this happen. genuinely.

Thinking about Suffocating!El's complete silence during Mike's "I can't lose you" (+ the way Will has to encourage him to say it) & how dramatically it contrasts Lucas' "Stay with me" in response to Max fading (and how he is the one begging Erica act on Max's behalf)

something something the difference between a lover who says "You not being able to save the world would hurt me" versus one who says "I am here to stop the world from losing you"

Max: Go back, Lucas. I'm going to face Vecna alone.

Lucas: Of course you are. And I'm coming with you.

for ur ship ask game, lumax?

LUMAX! Only one of my favorite ships EVER!

So. When I first started Stranger Things, I'll be honest - wasn't a fan of Max. I didn't know how she would factor into the story. But once we started peeling back layer by layer, she started to grow on me.

Her with Lucas feels incredibly realistic, not least because they balance each other out very well. Max is guarded (understandably) and has trouble opening up (with good reason). Lucas, meanwhile, is just this earnest, good kid, with not one single malicious bone in his body. The greenest flag there is. Even just their scene on the bus was so disarmingly sweet. Max showed some vulnerability and started to admonish herself for it. And not only did Lucas listen, he affirmed and encouraged her without judgment. Lucas showed Max that people could be good, somehow, without strings attached.

In this upcoming season, I'm hoping we'll really get to see Lucas show up for his girl in a big way. Visiting her in the hospital, holding her hand, talking to her. Once he and El go to find her in the Upside Down (just my theory on how it'll play out), he'll hold her so tight and comfort her and protect her. She's had walls up for so long, and this season I think she'll be raw. And Lucas will be there to salve her wounds.

All this to say: Lumax. Such a pure ship. They deserve all the happiness and more.

you can pry happy endings from my cold-dead hands. It can be the most heart stopping, gut wrenching fic that has every existed and I will read every drop of it if I get my happy ending. I have had enough painful endings in real life, give me happy in my fantasy world. It can be at the last second, it can be a single sentence, even a single word. Give me all the angst and hurt in the world for 500,000 words, but please give me the comfort I need in the ending. please and thank you.

"I'm sure this has been done before"

Yes me too but I want to hear your interpretation. I want to hear your play on it. I want to see how you connect the dots, how you shift the puzzle pieces and make them fit. Show me it through your eyes.

no but. THIS is why lucas is so good for max. because instead of blaming her for being upset, or treating her badly, he approaches his parents (a happily married couple) and asks honestly how to handle the situation. because he is so earnest and good and he wants to show max she can trust him. lucas is a goddamn king and we don't talk about it enough
