re: tfs spoilers (no mention of actual spoilers)

everyone I’ve seen concerned about play spoilers “ruining the show” and then extrapolating that to mean the whole narrative sucks now (which is already wild to do, considering you’re taking about bullet points? but whatever) needs to remember y’all literally got the fact that the monologue was happening spoiled for you before vol ii and freaked out with the “we lost….” until people put it in its proper context + made it clear what was happening with all the wider details.

Like. the ST byler fandom is notorious for taking .005 seconds of media DESCRIBED to them and extrapolating a whole canonically baseless narrative…and then getting mad the show / play / story doesn’t meet something stranger things or it’s supplements never told them 😭 like. Sure there are small inconsistencies between supplements & the show / less detail in canon than we want in the show some places. Always. But they are never even 1/60 as troublesome as the high-emotions, forego-context convos had about it before a single person u know has even SEEN the thing

also? Personally….not one spoiler felt out of place for my analysis of the show as it’s been presented which…I mean idk. All the details fall within expectation, I’m not sure where the “we lost” came from unless (likely) 18 months of fanon had made people forget the show itself LMAO
