Stranger Things Season 4 Vol. 1

Okay okay.

I've reblogged SO MUCH, but now it's my turn.

This season is my new favorite season BY FAR. It's just SO well done and there are SO many things to love about it and I CAN'T WAIT for Volume II!!

I have so many thoughts and so many random babbles and it will not be in any sort of consecutive order but y'all are just gonna have to deal because I binged it all at once and I just feel the need to babble nonsensically for a second. (Side note: who gave this season the right to be THIS scary?? I swear to God...)

Also in case it isn't already obvious...

MAJOR SPOILER WARNING IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE NEW SEASON YET!

Anyways here we go.

I did not think it was possible for me to love Steve Harrington any more than I already did, and yet, here we are, my heart literally about to burst for this man (I seriously cannot believe there was ever a time when I hated him what was wrong with me??). Aside from Steve just genuinely being an amazing, kind, caring, bada*s human being that I would die for in an instant, his relationships with all of his friends just SENDS me, okay?? Steve and Robin? "Best Platonic duo with a capital P." YES!! OMG YES!! They just have each other's backs so much and help each other so much and are there for each other so much and I love EVERYTHING about their relationship and I just CAN'T. The looks during Tammy Thompson's singing, all of the pointed looks about their respective crushes, all of the pointed looks at each other in GENERAL because they just KNOW each other...I just CAN'T! I LOVE THEM SO MUCH! Also, like, the comparison between Nancy and Robin vs Steve and Robin is so beautiful because obviously Nancy and Robin got to know each other and quickly did become friends (absolutely LOVE the power duo these two queens are becoming, btw), but just, at first seeing just how absolutely wonderfully supportive Steve is of Robin and her ENTIRE personality in comparison to Nancy being annoyed with her at first just SENT me and I was just dying. ALSO ALSO, the fact that Steve had so many opportunities to explain that Robin was a lesbian just to make his own explanations easier and yet WOULD NOT OUT HER literally makes him the best friend ever and I just love this man so much. His relationship with Dustin?? Still SO on point and SO beautiful and I love them both so much. I just love how their relationship has developed over the seasons and they are still one of my favorite duos on the whole show. I mean, Eddie literally being jealous of Steve because Dustin admires him so much? And Steve's little smile at hearing him say that?? SEND HELP I'M HYPERVENTILATING! (Also side note, Steve and Robin and Dustin will forever be my power trio and I will never be over it thank you very much.)

Keeping that in mind, I absolutely cannot get over the fact that, like, Steve and Robin and Dustin are such good friends that they, like, NEVER fight. Like, obviously they tease each other and stuff, but when they go too far (the teeth punching thing) they quickly talk it out and apologize and make up and I just...I LOVE THEM. There is SO much in-fighting in so many other groupings in this show and it's always so refreshing to see such true and beautiful loyalty coming from that trio and I love it and adore it with everything I have. Also also, Steve continuing to be the literal best babysitter and continuing to complain about it and yet absolutely reveling in it at the same time is the cutest freaking thing ever and I just love him. "Always the babysitter" YES STEVE! IT'S WHAT YOU'RE GOOD AT BABY AND YOU KNOW YOU LOVE IT!! <3 <3 <3 Keeping on the Steve Harrington love...Stancy?? Is that you I see?? 'Cause I'm honestly here for it. I was happy for Nancy and Jonathan because it made sense in the situation, but I was ALWAYS a Stancy shipper, and I kind of always wanted them to get back together. I just don't feel like Jonathan and Nancy are right for each other in the way that Steve and Nancy are--Jonathan and Nancy were really just brought together by shared trauma and that just doesn't work for me. So yes, I am ALL here for it. That said, I have also seen several theories where people have shared that they think Steve might ultimately reject Nancy and see that he really needs to move on from the pining he's been doing all this time and that that would complete his character development and honestly, I'd be here for that too. I just want my mans to be happy, okay? Whatever it takes, I support him. <3 That said, I am VERY concerned for all the pain my boy went through in the Upside Down, and when he said the thing about stuff in his lungs?? Not good. I am concerned. People on this hell site are saying they think Steve's gonna die, and all I'm saying is, NO HE WILL NOT! NO NO NO NO NO! IF I BELIEVE IT WON'T HAPPEN, IT WON'T HAPPEN GODDAM*IT! I WANT MY MANS TO HAVE A HAPPY ENDING WITH HIS LOVELY LITTLE FOUND FAMILY AND ALL OF HIS CHILDREN AND FIND A GIRL AND JUST LIVE HIS LIFE GOSH DARNAT!! YOU BETTER NOT KILL HIM!! (Also side note, Nancy and Robin immediately running to his aid when he almost fell over in the Upside Down and each of them helping in their own special way I just....help my heart burst again.)

Okay okay. I'll try to organize this to some degree, so keeping on the topic of characters, this show's ability to change my opinions of people is absolutely INSANE and I am still living for it (seriously--how could I have EVER hated Steve?). Like, absolutely hated Karen and Billy for the longest time, but loved and respected them both by the end of Season 3 (which, side note to that--absolutely loving the fact that all the parents came together knowing full well that their kids weren't murderers, but also, they picked a really awkward time to actually be worried about said kids' whereabouts lol). That said, I have SO many mixed feelings about Sam Owens and Martin Brenner that I don't even know what do with myself. I kind of love them both, I think?? But, like, I hate their methods?? But, like, their methods worked?? Also, like, Dr. Brenner is clearly still a shady dude, but, like, he also clearly cared about the kids and I don't know what to do with that information?? Also, like, Sam Owens clearly cares about Eleven, but he still manipulated her and put her into a situation that tortured her and I just...UGH! So many mixed feelings about those two men and I want to like them but I want to hate them but I don't really want to do either and just...UGH. 001/Peter/Henry/Vecna/?? Same idea. I REALLY didn't trust him from the second we met him, but also, he was REALLY nice to El, but also, it felt very manipulative, but also, he's evil, but also, he saved her life, but also...I DON'T EVEN KNOW ANYMORE I JUST DON'T TRUST ANYBODY EXCEPT OUR CONFIRMED GOOD GUYS (AKA PARTY MEMBERS) OKAY?! (Also I know some of y'all were saying that you felt like the ending was too predictable but, like, I don't think it was supposed to be as big of a twist as a lot of people are acting like it was. Plus, just because you figured it out right before they told you doesn't mean it wasn't a twist lol. It just means they effectively managed to put all of the pieces in place for you. That said, I sincerely doubt ANY of you figured out that Peter was also Henry, 'cause that would be pure psychic ability in my opinion lol.) With THAT said, absolutely loved the attempt at showing Eleven (I still can't decide if I should call her El or Eleven or Jane help what do I do?? XD) having a dark side that was then completely demolished by what actually happened. I loved all the themes of dark versus light and anger/sadness/fear versus goodness (very Star Wars and Harry Potter dark side versus light side vibes) that all still inevitably led to El being a genuinely amazing superhero who only wants to do good in this world. I just love that we keep seeing elements of her backstory that just continue to prove that she is wonderful and I am HERE FOR IT. <3

Okay, all of that out of the way, new characters! Argyle was an absolute beauty from minute one and I am so glad that Jonathan finally found a friend to confide in and help him let loose. He needed that so badly and Argyle is literally the best. <3 Eddie gave me bad vibes at first and then immediately became an absolute dope and sweetheart and I loved him for that. I am so glad he isn't dead. So did Enzo, and then he quickly became a beloved character and I was so worried he was gonna die and I'm glad he didn't. As an opposite, Yuri gave me very fun and silly vibes and I loved him and then he betrayed us, so f him. Also, Jason gave me very sweet and good vibes and now I just want him to go the f away. Like, I know he's grieving. I know he's traumatized. I get it. But, like, chill the f out dude. Go away. No one likes you. That said, as someone who has had a lot of bad experiences with sports and sports teams, I was very impressed with how caring the basketball team actually was, and how much they actually supported each other. That's the upside to sports when it works out that way, and I feel like you don't actually get to see it that much. Also, I felt so bad for Chrissy and Fred. And Patrick. This whole season's plot line gave me very strong Supernatural vibes from the Bloody Mary episode (iykyk), and it just made me so sad for every single one of them. That said, my stepmom has a theory that the reason Patrick got taken is because his secret guilt was that he and Chrissy got together and Chrissy was pregnant with HIS baby, not Jason's--hence, guilt. I could totally see that, and I hope they confirm something like that.

All of that said, Lucas is such an amazing, underrated character and I love him for it. Watching him be on the fence about what side he was on hurt at first, and it was actually making me mad at him, but I absolutely ADORED the fact that the second his friends were in legitimate danger, there was no question who he was gonna believe, and he was all in with his friends (even though they abandoned him at the game, and as happy as I was to see Erica be in his place and see both sides respectively win--D&D and basketball--it hurt that they didn't get to see Lucas take the winning shot). ALSO! This man's support of Max I CANNOT. She broke up with him to pull away and be as distant as possible and the WHOLE TIME he was like "nah, this isn't right", but he STILL gave her the space she needed until he absolutely knew he could not anymore and then he finally knocked some sense into her and that's what eventually pulled her out (don't worry, I'll get there) and I just...not enough people stan Lucas. Stan Lucas. He is a wonderful human being and deserves all the love and attention. Thank you for your service, Lucas.

Also, very last thing: Suzie. I know we didn't get much of her, but GOD I love her. Absolutely loved that we got to see her chaotic family of little geniuses. Absolutely LOVED that she and Dustin are still together, and that she broke all of her moral codes to not only raise his grade, but to inevitably help save the world again under the guise that it was for him. I just love her and I think she and Dustin are perfect for each other and it's beautiful.

Also also (I know I said last thing, leave me alone), I do want to give a special shout-out to Erica, who is still sassy as all heck in all the best ways and covered for Lucas for so long and then hopped right into the fray like it was nothing when it was time to save the world again and I just love her okay?

Okay okay. Now more on character relationships. First, small thing: absolutely LOVING the Byers family dynamics. I ADORE protective brother Will Byers. The faces he makes when El is in trouble, and the way he literally sympathy-cried with her after the bullying and did everything he could to try to protect her and help her--I have a sibling thing and I CAN'T, okay? Also, Jonathan and Will just always calling themselves her brothers and Joyce always calling herself El's mom and saying she has three kids I just...we really didn't get a lot of that dynamic because it all split off so quickly and we just didn't get a lot of the Cali family in general because they couldn't do much and as much as I loved every piece we got, I would totally love to see more of it. <3 <3 Anyways, speaking of Joyce... Joyce and Murray and Hopper and Yuri and Enzo and EVERYTHING that came with that oh my GOD! Joyce and Murray are such a power duo I CANNOT! Their sass with each other and yet amazing planning skills are just SO good. They balance each other so well and it's such a fun, yet productive and forward thinking relationship and I LOVE it. Also, Murray, you black belt in karate--I love you sir. Hopper and Enzo? Similar vibe, but for different reasons. Like, honestly, seeing the way their relationship developed throughout with Enzo trying to help him and then Hopper helping Enzo and then the two of them helping each other and just having each other's backs was so good and I absolutely loved it. Also, loved how close they got so quickly. Another situation of trauma bringing people together, but this time in just the right way. Hopper opening up about his daughter was so depressing, but also made so much sense, and it segued nicely into Enzo talking about his own son and god I really hope those two stay friends because I loved it. (Also can we just talk about Jim Hopper continuing to be the biggest bada*s ever and just kicking a bunch of Russian a*ses and blowing up their shed and literally BREAKING HIS FEET and still running through miles of snow and successfully pilfering fire materials to take on the demogorgon and never backing down even when there was a thought he was gonna give up like I just--) Anyways... THAT JOYCE AND HOPPER REUNION WAS SO LONG OVERDUE OMG WHEN I TELL YOU I WAS CRYING I JUST-- I want more, but I don't even NEED more, because it was done SO well just in that few minutes! Like, the shock on their faces, then Joyce just shifting to relief and just diving into him and Hopper not really believing it right away and then finally assessing that Joyce IS IN FACT in front of him and is OKAY and they are TOGETHER AGAIN and then just the RELIEF and the SMILE and I just OMG I'M CRYING AGAIN HELP! I can't WAIT to see his reunion with El. (Oh, by the way, side note? Angela had it coming. F*ck her.)

Okay okay. I think that's a good majority of my characterization stuff. I do have one more big thing (I wonder what it could be...), but I'm saving that for the end.

Okay. Cinematography. Dude. Look. I KNOW the cinematography was good. The cinematography has ALWAYS been good. But, like, the TRANSITIONS man. I just CAN'T with this show. The transitions from the upside down to the real world and back, like, especially when they were all riding the bikes?? OMG! SO GOOD! And I KNOW a lot of people are talking about it, but I have to say it again--"Dear Billy"? That was a MASTERPIECE on SOOOOO many levels. Cinematically, musically, storywise (don't worry, I'll hit both of those things too). It was just SO good. I continue to praise this show on its visuals, and Season 4 just upped the ante even more and I love them for that.

Okay okay, speaking of "Dear Billy".... Music being the connection back to life? Memories of friendship and love being the key to your escape? OH MY GOD I CAN'T! As a future music teacher whose goal in life is literally to be able to help students connect with themselves and their emotions through music, that spoke to me on such a personal level. And as someone who values friendship as highly as I do, the support from her friends being part of what was able to bring her back and help her escape, even when she had pushed them away for so long just had my heart going BONKERS. That whole sequence was SO beautiful and SOOO well done. Everything with Max's character in that episode was so good, with the letters--specifically her letter to Billy--, the support from her friends, her talk with Lucas, everything. The visuals. The music. Her positive memories and which ones stuck out to her the most, her running to her friends as they desperately called for her and the way they all just CLUNG to her when she came back. AHHHHHH!! I'M SCREAMING!!! IT WAS SO GOOD!!! I CANNOT EVEN EXPRESS IN WORDS HOW BEAUTIFUL IT WAS!!! (Also as a side note to that, the sound editing and music in this season was also particularly good and I KNOW they did that on purpose with the themes they had created and I am HERE for it.)

Okay okay. Last small thing before I get into my other major thing. Absolutely LOVED the Easter eggs, references, and homages. My stepmom and I agreed that, with Season 3, some of the references felt very gimicky and fanservice-y, but with this season, it was never in your face, and they were often VERY subtle and tied in perfectly. There were so many homages to classic horror movies (The Nightmare on Elm Street, Alien, Silence of the Lambs), INCLUDING the LITERAL Freddie Krueger playing Victor Creel. How cool is that?? Also, the 80s nostalgia didn't feel as in your face. Rather, it was much more subtle and hinted at throughout, to the point where we were often looking things up to make sure we were catching the references correctly, and that was honestly such a fun thing to have and see.

Okay. Here it comes. The moment you've all been waiting for (well, some of you)...

If you watched that season and STILL don't think Will Byers is pining for his best friend, I'm sorry, but you're wrong.

Everyone has a right to their opinion, obviously. But yours is wrong. Sorry not sorry. XD XD

Kidding. Kidding.

But in all seriousness, WHEN DO WE GET THE CONFESSION?! WHEN DO WE GET IT?!

You cannot, CANNOT tell me that between:

"Crazy together." "It's not my fault you don't like girls." The ENTIRE kindergarten speech in Season 2. "He doesn't deserve that." THE SECRET PAINTING. "Sometimes I think it’s just scary to open up like that, to say how you really feel. Especially to people you care about the most. because what if they don’t like the truth?” (and, of course...) "*tender, emotional music playing*"

Will is not in love with Mike.

You can't. I'm sorry. The evidence is against you, and you are wrong.

Now, does Mike reciprocate? That is the big question, isn't it?

Some people say yes, because he's never told El he loves her. I disagree. I think Mike DOES love El, a lot, but his love language is different than hers. He has a LOT of ways of showing he cares--he just struggles to express his feelings out loud, and I think that's totally reasonable and totally okay. It's something he's been struggling with since day one, and it's something he'll HOPEFULLY learn to get better at by the end of the show. THAT SAID, does this mean a part of him could not also love Will? Not necessarily. I'm sure at some point in time, and maybe even potentially still, there IS a part of him that has loved Will on a deeper level, and I mostly say this because Finn and several other cast members have hinted at it in the press for Season 4. But here's the thing. I think Mike is very much stuck on the idea that Will is his best friend and nothing more, and that El is his girlfriend and always should be. I think, initially, I wanted to read the awkward hug as him maybe developing feelings, but after Mike explained it the way he did, about missing him and not knowing how to handle it, it made sense. Mike is really bad at dealing with and expressing his emotions, and unfortunately, Will gets the short end of that a lot, as does El, to be honest. In any case, I think his closed-minded thinking about the whole thing will get in the way. Does it leave the door open for him to learn and grow and maybe understand how he truly feels about both of them more in the future? Yes. Do I think it's officially gonna happen? No. What I DO think is gonna happen, and what I HOPE TO GOD happens, is Will finally confessing to Mike how he feels. There is a part of me that still firmly believes that Mike already knows that Will is gay (I'm just saying it at this point, I don't care if they've canonically confirmed it or not. He is. How can he not be?). How else would we get the "It's not my fault you don't like girls" line and the visceral reaction from Will that came with it? That's a MOMENT, because it's a moment where Mike revealed Will's biggest secret and used it against him. At least, that's my theory. That said, let's assume that, for some reason, Mike doesn't really know for sure. Either way, we are BOUND to get a coming out/confession scene from Will sometime in the near future. There is WAY too much set-up for them not to, and if they don't, I'm going to be VERY upset, and I'm not usually one to get upset about a lack of queer follow-through in a show, but this one would bother me. Why? Again: Too. Much. Set-Up. Like I said above, between several of the lines they've exchanged, the way the two of them interact, and just the general way that Will constantly stares at Mike and clearly puts him above anyone else, he is pining HARD, and he NEEDS to tell Mike, and I REALLY think he's working his way up to telling him. More importantly, I REALLY think the painting is a painting of Mike. It HAS to be. Why else would it be SO important for him to keep it on him? Why else is it so important that it stays a secret? Because the first person he wants to see it, is Mike, because it HAS to be a part of Will admitting his feelings.

Now, all of that said, I think it's VERY likely that Will is going to admit his feelings and get rejected, OR, that Will being who he is, is going to admit his feelings knowing full well that Mike is in love with someone else and be okay with that, but simply wanting to tell Mike the truth. And honestly, I'm okay with that. I know a lot of people aren't, but as much as I love Byler, I do love the Mileven relationship too, and I think, ultimately, Will is going to be happy having told Mike the truth, whether they end up together or not. And honestly, as long as I get my gay confession--because he is at the VERY least gay (I suppose he could be bisexual or pansexual or something, but he's NOT straight, I can tell you that much) and I will not back down from that argument, no matter how hard anyone tries--I'll be happy.

That said, please note you will be seeing ALL of the Byler content coming up now, because if I thought Season TWO confirmed Will's feelings, I had another thing coming. XD

Alright alright. I think I'm officially done, and I think that was the gist of everything I had to say. I know I missed a LOT, because there is a LOT to unpack with that season, but seriously, this was BY FAR my favorite. The character relationships were SOOO beautifully done and SOOO well developed, and my heart was constantly being torn apart and burst and torn apart and burst over and over again in all the best ways and I LOVED it!! Do I love that it ended on a cliffhanger? No. Was I expecting it to end on much worse? Yes. So I'll totally take what we got. That said, you better believe I am counting down the days until Volume II comes out, and until then, I'll be re-watching as much as I can, because this season was seriously INCREDIBLE, and my emotions are THROUGH the roof, both good and bad.

Thank you, Duffer Brothers. I'm excited to see what comes next.

P.S. One more shout-out for Steve Harrington, just because I'm hoping if I send enough love his way, they won't decide to kill him off.

P.P.S. Was the Watergate just a reason for Joe Keery to be shirtless? Possibly. Am I mad about it? Not in the slightest. <3 <3

THEY USED THE LIVING TOMBSTONE SONG FOR THE CREDITS HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AUTOMATIC 5 STARS

[whysamwhy123]

I'm trying to distract from myself from the sad news and how fucking tired I am after this week so! I'm gonna ramble on after the cut about another one of my stupid fic ideas I'll probably never write! You have been warned!

...I'm so tired, Renee...

So I've wanted to write a dumb comedy-thing about a Danhausen curse gone wrong for ages and I randomly thought of one for a JungleHook fic. So Danhausen notices how down Hook is after Jack betrays him and steals the title, how much he misses his buddy and even though they're mortal enemies now, D can tell that Hook really wishes he could work things out with Jack. So, naturally, a curse must be the solution!

So with some help from some magic/demon buddies or whatever, Danhausen engineers a curse that's basically the magical equivalent of a Get-Along Shirt. You know the drill, right? Maybe they're magically stuck together or maybe it's more like, they have to be touching each other in some regard, some form of contact - if they're not touching, they get super sick or an extreme migraine, like their heads are gonna explode so they have to be in close proximity, they can't be apart. Danhausen helpfully explains to them that the curse will only break when either Jack gives Hook the FTW title back or if they work out their differences, repair the rift between them and become buds again. Whichever comes first! And Jack ain't giving up the belt, even though it's the easy solution, so they're stuck like that for the rest of the night.

They hold up in one of their hotel rooms, mad as hell, and there's a bunch of obligatory wacky hijinks of them being stuck together with someone they used to be best friends with but now can't stand. But at the end of the night, well, they can't be apart so I guess they have to share the bed. And they can't be on opposite sides either, they need to be touching all throughout the night or they won't be able to sleep, so I guess they have no choice but to cuddle. And maybe while cuddling, they get to talking a bit more earnestly about what went down between them. Maybe shit gets real and feelings are discussed and the two of them start to feel like friends again. And then maybe they smooch. And then fuck nasty.

So next morning, the curse is broken and Danhausen barges into their room, sees them apart, not touching, and he's like ''Ah, good, the curse worked! Which came first?''

And Hook just points at Jack.

So, the curse worked out really well. Probably a little too well if you ask Danhausen.

Fuck my life, the need I have for a Top Gun AU.

It's one of those visual itches that i need to scratch. Like, no need to plot too much and whatnot.

Just daydreaming and going for *the vibes*.

⚡️JASICO 💀PLAYLISTS

Okay so I have many thoughts always and forever about Jason Grace and Nico di Angelo, But one of the things that makes me excited to write and brainstorm is music! and pinterest boards

so at the request at one of my mutuals <3 (@thinkingjasico) here are my playlists!

—————————————

⚡️JASICO💀

The ship playlist, mostly has song having to do with their relationship and vibes on headcannon situations.

⚡️Jason Grace🌧

Has all to do with Jason as a character, and his struggles, also how he loves and how he is! (headcannon and so on)

💀Nico Di Angelo🌿

Has all to do with Nico and his story and struggles, how he reacts to love and love- (headcannon and so on)

⚠️also there might be some songs that are in all three playlists

—————————————-

Let me know if your curious about any of the songs! and how i link it to them! i hope you guys enjoy them<3

-i do add and move songs every so often

-they are alittle in order but mostly, they’re kinda grouped by situations? if that make sense?

if you have any song suggestions let me know!! i love new music to write to!

[memovia]

Also special shoutout to @grislyintentions & @rvinfall & @traincarsandstars for listening to my ideas and discussing with me about the huge Muyang headcanon I just wrote out. I love you guys mwah mwah

[courtclover]

If you could give Clover any other semblance besides Good Fortune, or if you could change Good Fortune in any way, what would it be or how would you do it?

I think about Clover not having a semblance a lot. Would he be a different person. Nah. Would he happier? A bit. Would he still be lonely? Yah. Because he becomes another regular Atlas soldier and I’m curious to know if Qrows and other muses who hates Atlas would even try to befriend him or even get to know him, to understand him. Because what if that’s the only reason why in the original story they give Clover a chance. Because of his Good Fortune. And isn’t that just heartbreaking to think about?

Because my muse knows that everything he’s achieved has been about Good Fortune and he tries to convince himself that isn’t. That’s he has his talents and skills that lead him where he is because that’s how Clover’s optimism works.

But what if there’s a parallel world where Clover didn’t have Good Fortune? You know how Qrow says being around Clover was like a dream? Because he didn’t have to worry about Misfortune ruining everything and what if that’s also because of Good Fortune? What happens then? Imagine a Clover without Good Fortune. Would Qrow even bother?

I think about it a lot.

And I’m trying to think of an au verse where Clover could be of aware of both situations. Perhaps maybe he loses his semblance instead and then gets to experience that maybe. Where everything he is and has. Had been because of Good Fortune.

I think about putting my muse through so much emotional damage, anon.

Somebody: “ Nobody can escape her grasp. ” Somebody Else: “ Miss Candace is actually a gentle & caring person. ”

SHE PROTEC BUT SHE ALSO ATTAC!

[more-profound-bond]

Please tell me I'm not alone.

I mean when I read a book or a story or watch a movie etc. I like to relate to a charaters a little. It feels great to be able to see myself in characters I love or even those I hate, cause it helps me reflect on myself. But there are times when I relate to a character a bit to much and then it actually gets scary.

I mean when a character (especially main) is too much like me I can't focus on what's happening. I usually end up giving up on this particular book etc. because it makes me uncomfortable.

Sometimes I end up despising and hating a character like this. It's not that I hate myself, it's more because I'd hate to see myself make some of the decisions the character makes or see myself in situations the character is in.

So anyway, sorry for this rant, but to sum it up:

Does anyone else like when a character is relatable, but not too relatable?

Has anyone seen these weird text posts on Tumblr that are a few sentences long, but have enough tags to fill an entire book?

[emotionalcadaver]

Okay, this is gonna seem really petty and probably quite ridiculous, but I just need to vent about something real quick:

Ever since we've moved into our new house, I have been BEGGING to move our dvds/blu rays to somewhere other than the storage room we have them shoved into. I'm almost always the one who goes to retrieve a movie when we want to watch one, and that room is extremely triggering for my OCD, on top of just being unbearably cold and horrible to be in most of the time.

My mom refuses to budge on this. Why? I don't fucking know. She won't tell me. I suggested we move some stuff around to put them in the bookshelf next to the big TV in the basement. Nope. I asked if I could move at least the films we watch more regularly into some shelves in my office; nope. We're running out of space in the shelves in the storage room, and she would rather put some of the films in boxes than in my office.

During our latest conversation about potentially moving the movies, my mom insinuated that she intended to take away all the blu rays/dvds from me if I moved out. Including the ones that had been given to me as gifts. I have PAID with my own money for probably at least half of the collection of blu rays we have at this point, and this comment freaked me the fuck out.

For those who don't know, my blu rays are my babies. I love them and I am very protective of them. I'm a huge supporter of physical media and always ensure to buy my favorite films or shows on blu ray or dvds. I regularly make trips to resell stores to buy things that for some reason we don't have. It's a form of collecting to me.

I've gotten so annoyed and upset about this that I was talking to my dad about it and he pretty much told me to just take the ones that I consider to be mine and put them in my office without saying anything. She almost never goes into that storage room to get movies so it's not like she would notice anyway.

So that's what I'm gonna do. And if I get my head ripped off over it, I guess that's just something I'm gonna have to deal with. But I'm still so fucking pissed. I've made it clear repeatedly, even back when we were first moving in, that I didn't want the movies in that room. And yet she refuses to listen or meet me at any of the compromises I've offered. It's so frustrating.
