nothing can break the bond between a friend who loves spoilers and a friend who just watched an amazing show and needs to tell someone the entire plot from start to finish

something about qbad mentioning how much horror he put red team thru every time purgatory gets brought up... something about how proud dapper was of him.
like this is just my late-night read but- it feels like guilt qbad is trying to twist into pride. he keeps needling away at it. “i killed them all, over and over and over again.” “they were hunted by a monster.”
it’s like- reassurance. like a nail he’s trying o beat into his head. he’s had SO much trouble with legitimately hurting his friends, despite making that vow all the way back when the eggs first went missing, despite all the tree talk and the promises to save the kids no matter what. He never faltered with elq, and that protected them. He keeps faltering now. Sometimes he doesnt remember the code, or cucurucho, or skeppy. But that doesnt matter, right? Because he’ll protect the eggs. He’ll be the monster. he is the monster. he can and he will protect them even as his seams start ripping and he keeps breaking further and further apart. even at his worst, he’ll do whatever he needs to protect the eggs.
he’ll be the monster. wont he?

just here to say again that gay people can and very often do experience “crushes” on people of different genders, particularly when they’re young and don’t understand the difference between romantic and platonic love, and that doesn’t make them any less gay
stranger things has done a fucking phenomenal job of displaying this through mike wheeler, whose entire romantic arc has been about discovering what that difference is, specifically through his two major relationships, will and el. he mistakes the platonic feelings for romantic ones and the romantic feelings for platonic ones before (VERY gradually imo) realizing that he’s had them mixed up the entire time

feel like the fact that neil hargrove picked up his family and moved them across the country to the middle of nowhere for some muddy vague reason is not talked about nearly enough for how damaging it must have been for billy. max too, sure, but she nevertheless had her mother at least.
when you are financially and legally reliant on your abuser, as children are, and your abuser transplants you as far away from your support networks and any safety nets you may have created for yourself, it is an exercise of their control and it makes you go into immediate survival mode. frightened animals tend put their back to a wall in order to protect themselves from all visible angles; when the room you are in changes, it is suddenly very hard to do. you treat every movement with caution, fear, and aggression.
it’s especially relevant when the move takes you somewhere where everything is totally different, from the weather to the culture. while a myriad of reasons may be a factor in the move, when you live with an abuser, number one will always be to show you how helpless you are without them. oh you can’t find your way around? stupid, let me show you. didn’t know school had a different dress code? could’ve asked me! didn’t think to pack for cold weather cos you don’t have any cold weather clothes? why do i always do everything for you?
so yeah. i have a lot of opinions on that entire sitch but that one i’ve just never heard before so i needed to write it out

thinking about the dee will byers, the most beautiful, the genius, the intellectual, the sensitive minded, loving caring and the most different person in his group who did nothing wrong in his life, the curator of thoughts, fan of fantasy world/books, the most caring and subtly beautiful human, yet who also survived the traumatic nerve wrecking world of the upside down alone and cold, who came back to life, who was worried when he saw his brothers cut hand, who was beyond happy to see his best friends again by his bedside, who hides his feelings so he doesn't overwhelm or worry others , who just wants acknowledgement from his loved ones, who is uniquely in love with his best friend.
