#the elumax dynamic we deserve

[londondziban]

No one asked but I'm bored so here are my ratings of popular Stranger Things ships! (kind of a long post).

Disclaimer: Ship who you wanna ship. This is just for fun :)

Byler: 100/10, I love my boys. No notes.

Lumax: Also a 100/10. They're just so!!!

Elmax: 9/10. I love them with my whole heart but I'm a Lumax shipper first and foremost.

Elumax: 100000/10. Literal perfection. Elmax AND Lumax (and Hopclair, depending on how you view the ship dynamic)? Literally what more could you want?

Duzie: 7/10. They're cute and I really like Suzie. I wish we could've seen more of them, maybe Suzie will come back with a bigger role next season.

Henderhop: 6/10. Typically I HC El as a lesbian but I actually like this pairing. Definitely not a ship I'd die on but I enjoy interacting with the fan content.

Henderclair: 6/10. Listen, I love their dynamic. If I didn't HC Dustin as the token straight, I'd probably rate them higher. Platonically? Literally everything to me. Romantically? I'm not opposed.

Byclair: 8/10. I also like them a lot but I'm a die-hard Byler shipper. I do enjoy interacting with the fan content though!

Wheelclair: 7/10. They're silly and I love them but this is a particular dynamic I prefer platonic. I do HC that Mike had a crush on Lucas when they were younger though.

Mileven: 1/10. I'm just not a fan. I'm giving them a one solely cuz I enjoyed them in season 1 when I first watched the show in middle school, but I'm definitely not a fan of this ship at all. Platonically though?? Amazing.

Jancy: 10/10. I love them. I'm praying every day that the Duffers didn't completely fuck them up and that they'll be endgame.

Ronance: 9/10. I like them, they're cute. I interact with a lot of their fan content. Let's go lesbians.

Rovickie/Rockie: 7/10. I just don't know enough about Vickie yet to know if them as endgame is what I'm rooting for, but from what we've seen they're cute.

Stonathan: 10/10. I love them and I'm so excited for their interactions in season 5! They're the enemies to lovers.

Jargyle: 9/10. Love me some stoner boyfriends. They've definitely kissed before at least once.

Stancy: -10000/10. BOOOOOOO 🍅🍅🍅. They are not right for each other. Steve deserves someone who loves him and Nancy deserves someone she loves.

Stoncy: 3/10. If it's in the way that Steve and Jonathan are dating and Jonathan and Nancy are dating with Nancy and Steve being platonic, then sure. But if it's all three dating, nah. Steve and Nancy just don't work imo.

Buckingham (Chrissy x Robin): 8/10. I think this is considered a rare pair but I think they're adorable and I love the fan content around them.

Hellcheer: 5/10. Not my favorite but I have no issues with this ship. I see the vision of them as best friends mainly.

Steddie: 5/10. They're not bad and I interact with some of their fan content (some of their tiktok edits go hard), but they're just kind of okay, you know?

Jopper: 10/10. I love them. Been a Jopper fan since day one. They're so endgame.

If there's any other ships you want to know my opinion on, let me know!

(All fun and games here, y'all. Ship whatever you want)

Here I am to talk about milelumax.

I like to throw ship ideas around with AUs and here's one: Elumax are dating- they're in college- and Mike meets them all individually and develops a crush on each of them without realizing they're all dating.

He and Lucas share a class together- some science one- and they're lab partners and Lucas is really funny and kinda 'jocky' so Mike isn't excited when they get paired together as lab partners...only to find out that Lucas is actually kind of brilliant and they challenge each other academically. A crush quickly insues.

He meets El in the library! They end up studying at the same time pretty regularly and eventually they start share smiles and then that leads to small talks which leads to them quizzing each other on their classes. Mike is like "yes pretty girl please quiz me for my exam" but one time when El is quizzing him for the same science class he's taking with Lucas she casually mentions her bf takes that class. Mike is v disappointed but never figures out that the bf is Lucas.

Finally Max. He ends up working with her at a roller rink. She trained him. They bicker all the time. But Mike,,,he likes someone to can challenge him. And Max just likes to taunt him and get him riled up. They end up making out in the break room one night and Mike is like?? Okay what now?? What are we??

Okay but here's the thing, Elumax have all figured that their 'cute guy' is the same one so Max making out with him was totally planned. After that shift she takes him back to their apartment and Mike is,,,shocked to see El and Lucas waiting on him

Sorry it's a lot but I wanted to throw this out there

AHHHH SAM OH MY GOD. i'm bluescreening so hard rn. thank you. for this gift oh my god your brain

okay i LOVE this, that's so fucking cute ))): i love college aus sm. and omg yes mike and lucas meeting and butting heads a little but then being like "holy shit okay he's really smart" and having the same sense of humor and just meshing like they've known each other forever <3 and omfg "yes pretty girl tutor me" TRUE lmaooo they're so cute ): and madwheelerrrrr omg i could write essays on them and their dynamic, bickering coworkers is SO perfect. and ofc max is the first to make a move on him that's so fucking precious i'm obsessed

elumax definitely talk about him in their gc all the time. then one day max is just like. guess who's coming over lmaooo. and they all dote on him (max is less obvious about it but she's so in on it) and playfully try to out-woo him, meanwhile mike "anyone ever has noticed me? sounds fake" wheeler is just so overwhelmed and flustered and caught off guard
