#*holds a bunch of interconnecting plot lines in my hands* i just think they’re neat

[claryfrayed]

i just find it hilarious that in every single season of stranger things, everyone is experiencing the turn of events in a completely different way. yet somehow by putting all their individual pieces of the puzzle together, they end up solving the problem. like, the majority of the time will is in some gory, rated r horror movie. and el is in her own superhero, action movie, escaping from the lab like she’s james bond or something. then nancy and jonathan are in their very own murder mystery novel. all the while the kids are going through their coming of age genre, while the thriller part of it lurks in the background. meanwhile, steve harrington thinks he’s in some romantic comedy that just so happens to have children and a random lesbian he adopted at his minimum wage job. when in reality, he lost the girl in season two and never got her back. and hopper stole his role as the lead man. so steve’s just bouncing from group to group, somehow having the personality of the douchebag boyfriend that gets killed off in the first fifteen minutes and also the final girl of the horror movie who ended up realizing that they didn’t need a love interest to save them. and then there’s robin. and honest to god she just wanted to scoop some ice cream.

and it always works? like really well? i don’t know. i just find it funny that if you asked every single person involved for their explanation of what went down, you’d have a very well depicted story from mike, dustin, and lucas. no response from max. a single, random sentence from el that made no sense whatsoever and also summed everything up nicely. meanwhile murray would throw in some random shit about russians and joyce and hopper. and a series of detailed summaries from robin, who rambles. and steve, who is most definitely concussed. like, has anyone ever really sat down and just discussed what happened from everyone’s point of view?
