Thinking about baseball in Stranger Things and its possible use as a symbol for traditional masculinity. How both Will and Billy have baseball pushed on them by their fathers and they reject it. And how Steve’s signature weapon is a baseball bat, and this possibly symbolizing that he is in touch with his masculinity but it isn’t forced on him, and he never uses it against other people.
I might be reaching on this, but it just kind of popped into my head. Feel free to add on if y’all have any additional thoughts

so obsessed with the fact that every single person at this wedding was up to something absolutely unhinged. like we started off with aniq planning to propose at someone else’s wedding and i was like well that doesn’t seem like a good idea. and then it turns out that was actually easily the least insane plan that anyone had.

ok so we all agree that jedi sports are just like, ludicrously insane, right?
like jedi baseball is really only technically sort of like baseball, if you squint very hard and are also very drunk. the ball is a stunner shot, the bat is your lightsaber, and it's less 'catching to throw out' and more 'deflecting it directly at the runner'.
Jedi soccer has a special pitch with re-inforced walls and ceiling because the last time a ball escaped the pitch it went through three buildings.
the less said about jedi track and field events, the better.

this new one is an emotionally fragile, people pleasing cuddlebug, about as desperate for physical affection as zoetrope, she'd be easy to bully/mistreat, if doing so was not considered a Crime by those with a capacity for Becoming the Consequences

what are bradley’s earliest memories of ice and mav? the bits of his perspective on them that you’ve written are so fascinating
fairly unsurprising answer but: ice: when he came to see Carole to apologize for killing goose in ch 2 of wwgattai (sets the tone of their relationship)
mav: something very benign like mav doing magic tricks for him as a little little kid. you know how your earliest memories are always a little fuzzy and always afternoon sunshine? imagine a desaturated maverick sitting crosslegged in the grass in pale afternoon southern california sunshine showing Bradley how he can detach his thumb from his hand and then put it back again. no blood, no bone, no pain, and he’s got this daredevil grin like he’s enjoying separating his thumb from his hand. can’t see his eyes behind his aviators. the best magicians are the ones who can make even their pain disappear. or, playing “got your nose,” holding Bradley’s nose up so he can see it right in front of his very eyes, NO PAIN!, and then making it disappear. “where’d your nose go, Gosling? oh, my gosh, I lost your nose!! how’re you gonna smell? i bet you’re gonna smell bad. get it? get it? —here it is, i found it, don’t worry, it’s all good!” and putting his nose back so everything’s ok. that’s Bradley’s earliest memory of mav.

So fun fact I do actually have WIP covers for my own sidesteps too. The problem is because they’re for me, I’m in full on overthinking mode all the time (and also the poses feel? Really stiff? Weh.)
