Look, considering I've only gotten involved in Stranger Things after season four and therefore haven't been around the fans during other new season filming starts, but my brothers/sisters/nb in fandom what the honest fuck is going on right now?

I have been a part of other fandoms when new seasons started filming and the worst I'd seen was BBC Sherlock. And you lot are behaving worst then they did.

And Jesus fuck, that's a fucking low ass bar.

(Again I am ship and let ship, kinktomato, and headcanon free for all)

But this is just what I've seen in my small deliberately secluded corner of the internet so forgive me if I get some things wrong.

Ronance fans have turned on Steddie fans.

Steddie fans are trying to eat each other over who tops and who bottoms between two horny, barely out of their teens, men.

Eddie is confirmed dead.

Dustin is trying to become Eddie.

People want Will dead because Noah Schnapps said some stupid shit regarding genocide.

And Argyle isn't coming back.

I'm going to give you my feelings on these so buckle up lets go:

1- Steddie and Ronance fans have turned on each other. And I know this because I doom scroll through steddie tag. That Ronance fans think Steddie fans are delusional and that they're going down after season five airs and there will be more Ronance fans because they're perfect for each other.

Where to even begin on this? First, never tell a shipper that their ship is never going to be canon because they don't care. Just ask all the Destiel, johnlock, and merarthur fans. Steddie fans are just going to ignore all but the most salient parts of season 5 if Eddie doesn't come back and write AUs for the rest of their lives. You know, like they have since the last scene on the Piggyback faded to black?

Secondly, I don't think I've seen much Ronance without Steddie. Granted I only read Steddie, but it seems that the two ships are tied pretty heavily together. The fruity four comes to mind. So maybe it's that they're getting tired of being a side ship next to a massive one like Steddie. Who knows. But apparently they're bitter.

And I say that because they keep tagging their anti-Steddie posts as Steddie to make sure we see it. Honestly, I just block them and go about my day. But seriously, I've never understood people's need to be shitty like posting hate on the tag for that thing. If you don't like it, fine. Block and move on.

Thirdly. Lastly. Maybe. I don't like Ronance. I saw the charms when I first joined the fandom and it was cute. Until the more I read and I realized that most of the time they don't bring up that Jonathan is even a person let alone Nancy's current boyfriend. That most of the time Steve is written wildly out of character about not caring that they're a couple and that he just wants them to be happy. Like, one Jonathan is severely under used in the fics I've read. Like Will doesn't have an older brother anymore. It's all Steve or Eddie. Which considering how you like your flavor of queer for Eddie or Steve (gay/pan/bisexual) Will talking to them about being gay makes sense, but Jonathan showed us in the last season that he is going to protect Will no matter what. Then blip! in fanfics, he's gone.

And then the whole Steve being okay with Robin not only dating an ex-girlfriend of his, but the ex. The one he thought he was going to marry. The one he dreamed a whole fucking future on. That was still hurt by two fucking years later. You either think very lowly of Steve or you just don't care. Because if you think Robin and Steve are the same person/share the same braincell/ride or die for life, there is no way even if Nancy threw herself at Robin would she even consider it. (I can write a whole ass post just on this by the way, don't get me started.)

2- This is the most recent bullshittery due to a current event about Sub Eddie. This is the worst discourse in any fandom and the worst offenders on either side tend say the most homophobic shit imaginable.

And it's pointless. Whether you think Steve is a top or bottom, whether you think he's dom or a sub. Same with Eddie. Everyone has their own flavor they prefer and they won't always match up with yours.

Personally I write them whatever feels natural for the story. But here's the major crux of the matter. I don't believe a little nerd in Bumfuck, Indiana has any idea what flagging is. I'm sorry. Left pocket, right pocket. Doesn't matter. The likely of him even knowing what BDSM is is pretty slim. I grew up in a small town. There will be some people that know, but that's because they know adults in the scene.

Don't like, don't read. Seriously, guys. Let people enjoy what they want to.

My personal feelings on the matter is that Steve is a bottom/sub because he deserves to be taken care of and Eddie would absolutely want to be that person for Steve, in and out of the bedroom. Again, you do you, beau.

3- The tombstone. Sigh. It was hard to see that. Not just because it confirms he's dead, but because it's been defaced. Most likely like fans have said, "BURN IN HELL" the poor bastard.

Having a tombstone doesn't necessarily preclude Eddie's return. There are several ways he can still comeback Kas! theory not withstanding. But the wank here is people jumping on Steddie shippers and Eddie fans in general pointing and screaming "see!"

Like we didn't have campaigns for Barb and Bob and (Billy). If someone's favorite character has died, don't be dicks when they want them to be resurrected a la Jim Hopper. Because that right there is the main reason people will still hold out hope until the final scene fades to black, okay?

I guess this one is just be nicer to each other, okay?

4- *sob* like holy fuck. Dustin you sweetheart. The long hair, the torn Hellfire t-shirt, the rings. The horns and sticking out his tongue. That poor boy needs several hugs STAT! And of course, people can't leave well enough alone on Facebook, I couldn't tell you how many of the comments were "steddie fans are going to make this all about them, aren't they?" Even though there wasn't a single comment by a Steddie making it about Steve/Eddie. But so many eye rolls. The other half were death threats against Noah Schnapp.

Which brings me to...

5- Noah Schnapp said some really shitty things about Zionism and the attack on Gaza. There is no escaping that. He said them. He double downed on them. And while yes it sucks he said those things, let's not forget he's still young and stupid. He's barely 18/19 years old. I remember being that age and saying stupid fucked up shit, and hoo boy does this make me grateful I was well into adulthood when the internet became a thing (24ish).

There are a lot of reasons to be upset by his comments and I get that. But death threats and calls for his dismissal/boycotts just seems excessive to me.

One, because the story began with a kidnapped little boy and a runaway little girl. If you get rid of one of them especially this close to the end it would fuck up the story. Now if there was more than one season left, sure. But this is literally the end. And for all we know, Will's character may already be doomed by the narrative. So calling for it now isn't go to do anything. Especially since they already had all the scripts written and would have finished filming if it hadn't been for the strikes.

Two, one person on the cast said something stupid and hurtful and you want to boycott the entire show for it? Like, what did David Harbor, Joe Keery, Maya Hawke, Millie Bobby Brown and all the others do to deserve you boycotting their show? If the last season tanks it could seriously hurt their careers, but hey Noah Schnapp said something bad, so fuck them?

I'm going to stop there, because this is another one I can go on and on about, but yeah. Don't hurt other people in your rush to vilify an 18 year old.

6- Eduardo Franco recently said that he didn't get a call so he didn't think he would be back. He was sure that ship had sailed.

Fans are upset, naturally. Argyle was a sweetheart and deserves better than to be cut from the story like that.

But thanks to the incident with David Harbor and Jim Hopper supposedly being dead, a lot of fans are saying he's only saying that because it's a "secret" he's coming back. Which would make sense for Eddie or any of the other character died. Martin Brenner, for example, but not Argyle. There would be no need for subterfuge. Plus, he would already be out in Georgia if he was coming back.

It's sad that he was done dirty this way, but if they split up the filming like they've done before there is still a chance he might get to come back, but as far as the current filming is concerned, yeah Argyle isn't coming back.

***

Just... be kind to each other. Remember that the other people on the end of the URL is an actual person with feelings. That people can like what they like so if they aren't hurting you, don't hurt them, okay?

Okie dokie.

This bitch is going on a Supernatural rant motherfuckers.

So I've been holding back for a while but the dam has finally broken and it's time to let the floods crash through.

Does anybody remember when Supernatural was Sam and Dean Winchester, just the two of them against the world? Sure they had the occasional help from Jo and Ellen, or Ash, or Bobby. But they weren't cure-alls like so many of their current "allies", like Rowena who is now the queen of hell (like what the fuck?!) Or Crowley up until a couple years ago. And even Cas. This isnt to say that I don't like the aforementioned characters, because I do. Quite a bit, usually. But come on. Back before any of them even entered the scene, which would have been the first three seasons, the boys pretty much had to solve their own problems in their own time with nothing but their own resources and some help from Jo, Ellen, and Bobby. Who are all dead. Fuck. And they were pretty damn good.

And sure, the Winchesters never had to face the darkness or the Archangel's apocalypse back then, but I'm pretty damn sure that our boys would have pulled through. Like they always do. Because they are the fucking Winchesters.

But this isn't even to discredit what Cas did to help them in the first apocalypse. In fact, I'm even okay with the fact that he was there to help. And of course before that, when he "gripped Dean tight and raised him from perdition", but even back then, it still felt like Sam and Dean Winchester, up against the world. Just them.

And it's like season eight, which I think we can all agree was one of the most boring seasons ever to air, was the last season where just Sam and Dean were enough. Sure there was some Cas and Dean moments, quite a few, but it still was focused on the two actual main characters at least. Focused on the fact that even if each other was all they had, then they had exactly what they needed.

Then I swear to God seasons 9-11 killed the shit out of me because am I the only one who realized how much it lacked in Sam & Dean brotherly content?? And them working together to fix things? They were practically hiding one thing or another from one or the other the entire damn time. And therefore they were pissed at each other a lot too.

Anyways then season 12 where their mom came back and acted like a total asshole by abandoning them right after she came back to life. Don't get me started on Mary Winchester. I don't care what anybody thinks, I hate that selfish bitch.

And now onto season 15 cuz im not even covering 13 and 14 right now.

Season 15.

Ah. What can I say? We've had a few Sam/Dean broments. Not many. Nothing too deep. Nothing too long.

And is it just me, or or does it seem like, at the heart of this story, aside from the fact that they're now trying to trap God, are Dean and Castiel. They're mad at each other. But they're still the focus. Cas and Dean. Well I'm sick of Cas and Dean. Sick sick sick of them. I'm not sick of Dean. Hell, I'm not even too sick of Cas. But their stupid broken bromance? Literally making me sick. I want Sam and Dean back. I want it to be Sam and Dean working together to defeat Chuck. Not Sam being kidnapped by him whilst Dean and Cas go to Purgatory to pick fucking flowers. FLOWERS. Could you get more gay? It's like this show is getting as close to making Destiel canon as it possibly can without actually doing it. I don't ship Destiel. I hate Destiel. I'm sick and tired of Destiel. I remember when Sam and Dean were what everybody loved about Supernatural, why they all watched it. When their being brothers and willing to sacrifice everything for each other was the heart of the show. Now it's like all I hear about is Destiel. I swear to God 85% of fanfic is Destiel. "OMG maybe now that season 15 is almost over they're gonna make Destiel canon!" "Maybe Sam will die at the end and Dean and Cas can finally get married!" Fuck Destiel. Fuck Destiel to Hell. The fact that Destiel is literally in my phone's dictionary and every time I write Destiel it's not automatically correcting it to Destiny or something is infuriating me. Why does my phone think Destiel is a word?

Fuck Destiel.

I know I'm not alone in this. I want this last season to be like the first few seasons, just Sam and Dean working TOGETHER to fix everything. I just want to feel like it's still about them, not about Dean & Cas and Sam & Eileen, but them. Sam and Dean. Where as long as they have each other, no body and nothing else really matter. Because they don't need anybody else. Not Cas, not Mom, not Eileen. They only need each other. Just like they always have.

I swear to God if the last episodes of season 15 don't give me what the fuck I need I don't think I want to even imagine what I'm gonna do...

Because this ⬇️⬇️ is why I love Supernatural

Not for some stupid gay shit that ain't canon, and never will be.
