The way charlie just says "no" so calmly
I love the way Elle smiles in the background. Because let’s not forget that Harry was her bully too. She was stuck in a class with him, where he made transphobic comments to her. And not only out of ignorance - it was because “Harry thinks it’s fun to pick on people.” So while Charlie is standing up for himself here, he’s also standing up for her too (and Nick, and Tao, and anyone that Harry has made feel like shit).
“Should I Stay or Should I Go” and “Running Up That Hill” serve the same narrative purpose for both Will and Max. We are clued into Max’s suicidal ideation through song until she’s able to verbally admit that the was experiencing those thoughts in the finale. Will’s song clues us into the same thing, only he doesn’t verbally admit this, he does it through action. Will was constantly trying to contact Joyce from the Upside Down until Lonnie showed up. Once Lonnie, the person who has likely made Will feel worthless, arrived, Will stopped trying.
Billy saying that Max wishes to “follow him” is the same as Lonnie boarding up the wall that Will opened a gate through. Will and Max’s abusers are telling them that they shouldn’t be saved. Will was wondering if the real world was something worth fighting for even though he knew he would die if he stayed in the Upside Down. Will giving up tells us that he isn’t wondering if he should stay or go anymore, he’s made his decision. He’s going to stay in the Upside Down.
They both give themselves to the monster, only to be saved by the love of those around them. El restarts Max’s heart, Joyce and Hopper give Will CPR. They got another chance.
Will’s battle with this doesn’t end there, though. “Should I Stay or Should I Go” plays just before he tells them to close the gate, something that would also kill him. It’s likely that Max will have another moment like this in the next season, but will be saved again.
being a fan of something with like 30 total fans on tumblr is funny bc you get like 12 notes on a post and you're like wow the gang's all here
I am not above wanting Will's vecna vision to have a mean Mike verbalizing his greatest fears the same way Max had Lucas. Like I'm sorry if it's illegal to want vecna!Mike to be an amalgamation of Will's fears after "It's not my fault you don't like girls + We're friends. We're. Friends. + My life started the day we found you in the woods" then lock me tf up 👮🚓
yes my babysitter's a vampire is my favorite show in the world. no i don't recommend you watch it. you should watch the version of it that only exists within my head
How Clueless is Mike Actually?
Very clueless… he’s unaware of his feelings for Will and vice versa
Partially clueless… he’s aware of his feelings but unaware of Will’s
Partially clueless… he’s unaware of his feelings but aware of Will’s
Not at all clueless… he’s aware of both his and Will’s feelings
Other? Leave in comments/tags
See Resultsin my head he’s aware of his own (and maybe even will’s??? feelings kind of on a subconscious level, as in as soon as he started realising he might be feeling something he repressed to the dark deep corner of his mind so he doesn’t have to think about it
but that might be just be projecting
“credit goes to the artist! :)”
well unfortunately it really fucking didn’t, is the thing
not enough people really know what credit is for, so it bears repeating:
if I see art I like and want to see more of it, Credit is what gets me to the artist so I can see more of it.
If I’m writing a novel and I see an art style that would be perfect for a cover design, credit is what gets me to the artist so I can pay them for a commission.
If I see something I know my partner would love, credit is what takes me to the website of the artist where I can buy a poster that the original artist gets paid for.
If I see Plagiarism, I need to know who to notify to stop stealing my art, and if they don’t who to report.
Most artists (even the ones with thousands of followers) have a hard time making a living off of art. Giving credit means giving a pathway to the source.
Saying you didn’t make it isn’t the point, you need to say who did.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
