this undeniably has to be one of the worst opinions I've seen about this season. like out of the plentiful failures season 4 had... you really couldn't choose one to talk about? max's mental health was one of the only things that I felt season 4 handled pretty damn well.
I do think it could have been better written, yes. the ending of her arc in season 4 was....insulting at best.
but overall? the show does a great job of addressing that max actually hated billy (she literally fucking admits to wishing for his death) and that her grief is more complicated than just missing a person. because she wasn't missing a person! she was ultimately glad billy was gone. but even in death, he torments her.
she watched a person she grew up with be brutally murdered by some fleshy abomination, RIGHT in front of her. her shitbag step father bailed on her and her mother after billy died, forcing them to move to the trailer park. her mother abuses alcohol and is never home because she's always working so they can afford to live in the trailer park. her friend group has been split in two by the byers moving away, which took el away from her too. she doesn't know how to reach out to lucas, deep down doesn't feel she deserves his love & concern, despite lucas' best efforts (vecna literally taunts her with lucas turning on her at the final confrontation). she wished so badly to have someone like steve in billy, but she knows that billy would never be that person. he was the complete opposite & she can't just have steve in his place. she mourns the brother she never had. she is devastated by the way billy still hurts her, even after he's gone.
she's what. fourteen??? when this all happens?
like the death of an abuser is never so simple as "hooray! I am so very joyous now that the source of my pain is gone!" the damage an abuser inflicts on you is not some cut to the skin that can be healed and one day forgotten. it's so much more tortuous than that. especially for a child.

After delving into tudor history again, since college....it always shocks me that people think that thomas wanted anne dead more than henry and that idk...henry wasn't the one who made thomas put the charges on anne.
i'm not excusing thomas and how he fucked anne over, and i know they had fall outs, but at the same time he couldn't put her on trial, or start any of that without henry wanting it. the way henry has shimmied his way out of being directly tied to anne's death, but rather thomas seems to be the scapegoat always surprises me.
ppl act like henry didn't get married like a week after.

do they like musicals?
ohhhhh my god....listen i wanna say no so bad but....HDKSHLHD i can't it's not true.....RIP

also canonically in pep bebe and stan were leads in the *high school musical vc* ~spring musicale~
( yes it was guys and dolls idk why i chose guys and dolls i just thought it would be hella funny if i made bebe a biblethumper and stan a cool gangster i know kyle was in the audience crying and throwing up literally the whole time...bebe and stan were also crying and throwing up they hate eachother so much....
....but ACTUALLY!!!!!! like when they had to actually kiss on opening night and the scene ended they both ran off stage rETCHING like LOUD GAGGING SOUNDS SCREAMING CRYING!!!!! ALL DRAMATIC LIKE EWEWEWEWEW EW EW EW E WKILLMEKILLMEKILLEME I HOPE I DIE THAT WAS SO DISGUSTING THAT WAS TORTURE WE ARE IN HELL HELL IS A PLACE WE LIVE EW HLKHSDLDKHSDSLH AND THEY HAD TO DO THAT FOR TWO MORE NIGHTS!!! JAIL FOREVER!!!!!! its so funny to me that bebe and stan are literally the most beautiful and popular kids at sp high and like several people would die to kiss them and they are like i would rather end it all fr....not even enemies to lovers its just ON SIGHT!!!!! help help help
also i do think i am hilarious for making bebe a raven bias in RM...lets see how long that lasts askhdksahd )
also...how do you think stan passed us history....? by studying? with knowledge? HELL NO BABY!!!!!!! that man memorized all of hamilton I WILL NOT BE TAKING CRITICISM AT THIS TIME!!!!!!!! kyle was so mad i know he was FUMING like stan you cant use a musical as factual evidence and hes like WATCH ME KYLE!!!!
that c-....wow. go stan GO! THATS MY BOOOOOOOOOOY
it really is a mixed bag for kyle who is like ah i get to hear stan sing but the con is he is so FUCKING annoying shsjdajdlsl like actually their entire friendship and relationship is like wow stan is so pre--PRETTY FUCKING ANNOYING HO-LY SHIT NEVERMIND DAMN
also the gag of rm is that kyle is basically trapped in a muscial like everyone is singing and dancing and he is like please get me the hell out of here what the fuck is happening
also pep!kyle totally gets dragged to musicals by stan and is like that was actually hell on earth i would rather shove glass in my ears then ever do that again you are so sick and twisted for that...
AND THEN STAN CATCHES HIM SINGING????????? HUMMING THAT SHIT!!!!! BUSTED BITCH!!!!!
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT HIIIIIIIIM!!!!!
...tbh i think kyle is secretly extremely invested in the story aspects and actually thinks a lot of the musical scores are v beautiful so...
sigh....
with a heavy heart i must confirm...
they are musical boyfriends.
actually horrifying.
-uncle nina who is not a proud father atm
P.S. wait i had a thought askhdlksadh
in rm its.....flip flopped
u know wht i think rm kyle actually does like musicals because they are tasteful and definitely cries help askhdlksad
and ravenstan definitely does not like....if u held him at gunpoint he would shoot himself...several times to make sure he was really dead
its not even like he secretly thinks he is good he would actually rather be dead he actually will set the time machine back and sit in that burning house with shelley smh its too cringe for him
ok now im actually done thank u for coming to my ted talk <3

still thinking of the other night when he left to get drinks and took such a ridiculous amount of time that i started thinking (like a crazy person) it was on purpose to leave me and her alone. and when he came back he was like sorry the barman was trying to hit on me i think and wouldn't let me go
