A Quick Guide to Writing Weed for Non-Stoners

Hey guys! If you’re trying to write drug-use fanfics and you’ve never actually smoked weed, here are some details about its culture and physical effects:

Incoming, fuckers.

My brain reminding me that somewhere out there the Suffer Bros are writing S5 and likely have their continuity guy bound and gagged in a closet:

I think the Duffer Brothers' history with racism in their show goes a lot deeper than a lot of people realize.

Lucas as a character has three distinct B plot stories that get assigned to him: being a minor antagonist to Eleven in season one, being a good friend to the rest of the Party, and being in love with his girlfriend. While Mike's plot is directly centered around two of the most pivotal characters of the show, Dustin is given two different role model characters that shape his arc and is overall the genius that helps the rest of the cast get out of several difficult situations, Will still being connected to the Upside Down after his disappearance in 1983 and that playing into several major plots, Max having a multitude of centric storylines especially in season four and Eleven literally being THE main character- Lucas is only ever given plots that help serve and uplift the other (white) characters. Unless you count him... playing basketball and being friends with Jason. I guess?

Erica is similar to Lucas, but to a much larger degree. I'd like you reading this to think of any single Erica standalone plot in the show that has nothing to do with/does not predominantly or solely benefit the white characters around her. I'll wait.

The Sinclair parents are only touched on in brief sections for the sake of filling the episodes, only ever playing a more major role in Season Four. If you could call it that. I'm sure most of you couldn't even tell me their names off of the top of your heads. (It's Charles and Sue, by the way.)

Argyle was the first somewhat major character of color to be introduced to the show after Erica played her part in season three. I could say similar things about his role in the season overall that I can about Lucas and Erica. Except they set him up to play a bigger role in the next season at the end of season four, going as far as to show him in Hawkins and have Jancy verbally allude to him sticking around, only for the show heads to ghost Eduardo Franco and let him find out he wasn't being brought back through an official social media cast photo.

Kali was a former subject from the same lab El came from, having escaped and subsequently began to lead a vigilante life of enacting revenge on those who played a hand in her suffering. She was the first subject El ever met after leaving the lab, shown to be incredibly powerful and strong-willed. Her and El had an immediate connection, calling themselves sisters right after meeting. But after El was finished with her self-discovery period on the S.S. Kali Gang for one (1) often-forgotten and poorly-written episode, Kali was quite literally abandoned both in spirit and on screen, never to be seen or even mentioned again.

All other characters of color are either killed violently (Patrick), have like ten minutes of screentime total (Jeff and Calvin Powell), or are just straight up background only and may not even have names.

They can dedicate an entire section of season four's plot to Suzie's family, but not to genuine character development for Erica or for Kali to return. They can make room for a whole pointless predatory plot between Billy and Karen, but not to give a more important role to the Sinclair parents. They have room to include a whole plot about El getting bullied in school, but not for Lucas to have a more meaningful story outside of his white friends and girlfriend. They can platform three known white zionists while Palestine currently undergoes a gruesome genocide even as I type this, but they don't have room for Argyle in season five (or even the decency to give Eduardo a fucking phone call).

Not only do the Duffers constantly write themselves into holes because they keep adding unnecessary fodder to the plot, and refuse to kill ANY of their main characters in favor of just creating new characters for the sake of killing them off in mediocre ways despite the fact that they're trying to fit 20+ B plots into 8-9 40-50 minute episodes per season and wondering why half their show doesn't make sense- The time they DO dedicate to character-specific B plots and character arc progression visibly favor the white characters.

If I watch S5, and that's a huge if, I will be sailing the high seas. Between all of this, the fact that they filmed part of season four in an old Nazi prison and tried to turn it into a fucking AirBNB, and the fact that at least four people who play major roles in the show actively support the current genocide of Palestine- I won't be giving them (or Netflix for that matter) another cent of my money.

While you're here, please do your completely free daily click to send aid to Palestine, and here's a list of other resources for how to help more directly.

Off the edge

For the Fall of Neil Hargrove, day 2 prompt; "The Camaro"

~~~

The car is an object; not living per se But sentient, maybe, perhaps, in a way She knows her boy’s touch from the many repairs Knows that he loves her, and knows that he cares

He fixes her ailments and fills her with gas Washes her paint job and polishes glass Until they sparkle, until they gleam Together, they make such a glorious team

He’s a good driver, she’s a good car Together, they’re great; they go fast, they go far She doesn’t know feelings like hate and thereof But loves him, as much as a car can feel love

Some nights, he is hurting inside her, she knows His driving is reckless and angry, it shows On some nights he screams, on others he weeps Sometimes, he curls up on the backseat and sleeps

One night, he is shoved to the driver’s side door And held there, and screamed at, then shoved to the floor Another man enters her, sits in the seat And backs her away from her boy, to the street

The man drives her off, he is angry and strong His grip is abrasive, he drives her all wrong She knows; this is he who has caused her boy’s pain She knows; she will not let him do it again

So she speeds up, though the man tries to brake She turns on her own, and she drives to the lake She knows these roads well, and she knows where she’s going He tries the handbrake, but she is not slowing

Right up ahead, there’s a turn in the road They’ll crash, and they’ll drown, and they’ll sink and corrode She speeds through the fence and then they’re in the air The man in her seat screams, but she doesn’t care

She is an object; not living per se But sentient, kind of, somehow, in a way She doesn’t know feelings, but maybe it’s glee? She feels as she dies, and her boy is set free

Some of you have the worst Stranger Things brain rot that you’ll praise The Duffers for “dealing with” racism in Stranger Things while consistently ignoring how much they underrepresent, tokenize, and exploit characters of color and their actors for their own material gain before dropping them altogether. Then when you can’t cope with the reality that they treat their actors of color like garbage and that Stranger Things is not the underdog utopia for marginalized people you think it is, you turn to your comfort blanket (blaming fans of a character who has been dead for years) instead of facing the reality of the situation. Stranger Things was always bad at this. Billy fans aren’t the reason why it’s bad at this. If anything, Billy fans have been arguing for years about how bad Stranger Things is at this given they chose to use a clearly traumatized and abused teenager to be their token racist so they wouldn’t have to deal with the systemic implications of racism in Hawkins. Wake up.

#oop... there it is.

As much as I accept the truth of Stiles being Eli's other parent, it is equally hilarious to imagine Eli being utterly fucking baffled by this weird, Polish-speaking, smartassed, magic-using, maybe FBI agent(?) showing up out of fucking nowhere and his dad, his perpetually single, notoriously gameless, still-gets-embarrassed-when-the-checkout-lady-winks-at-him loser (affectionate) dad, starts fucking flirting with him. And the maybe-wizard-maybe-serial-killer flirts back??? Hello???
