#the fact that lucas will likely comfort max over billy's death in s4.....

it really bothers me that lucas got no apology from billy or really any acknowledgement from the show that he was his abuse victim. billy straight up tried to run him over, didn't even want max near him because of his skin colour and tried to beat him up (a CHILD). he put lucas through racial abuse and trauma and it was never referenced again. the fact that billy's actions towards lucas (and max) have been forgotten and whitewashed in s3 and maybe s4 is so frustrating. the fandom and even the damn show itself gives billy 10x more love than lucas and it bothers me so much. lucas deserves better.

cry  ─ m. mayfield
Tumblr media
max mayfield x gn! reader .. doesn’t follow the events of s4. 
❝ i swear i’ll only make you cry. ❞ ─ cry, cigarettes after sex
note: i made el and will like still in hawkins cause i wanted will and y/n would be best friends, because my boy will needs it and y/n does too. 
warnings: cheating, little mentions of death. swearing. max being ooc (is that a warning?) 
maybe (y/n)(l/n) was all in a super real nightmare. they often pinched themselves many times in the moment, hoping to not feel any pain. unfortunately, they did feel pain. with the upside down, the demogorgons, and any supernatural creatures you had faced, nothing hardly ever shocked you anymore. loss became a natural thing in this whole adventure. except when it came to max mayfield, the love of your life. 
losing billy was hard for her, and you knew she had to cope with it. leaving her alone was possibly the best thing you could do for her. although, in the end, you regretted how much you did leave her alone. you left her alone just for her to not do what you thought she was doing. 
maybe it was the fact that you were blindly in love with her, that everybody else but you noticed she was getting a bit too closer with lucas. they had something going on the first time you guys met her but she turned to you. she loved you. ..right? you always got along with her and you both ended up head over heels for each other. always showed vulnerability. it was hard for max to open up but she was able to with you. that’s something you cherished. 
she opened up to you about how she felt about just everything. you always reassured her and comforted her (sometimes with just pure silence). it was messed up that she took advantage of that. of your faithfulness. something that sadly she did not return. you don’t know why. were you not good enough? 
so, you sat in family video. robin and steve talking amongst each other but once they had stopped you snapped out of your daze. “you good, y/n?” steve’s eyes were filled with concern as he asked. robin held the same look in her eyes. “i-i’m okay.” you hesitated to answer, but reassured yourself that you answered correctly. robin and steve shared a look before robin just blurted it out. “is it because of max?” once she had fully realized what she said, she apologized and went back to stacking video tapes. 
steve didn’t make you answer but you mustered up whatever your courage you had and did it anyways. “i mean it is about max,” you chewed the inside of your cheek a bit before continuing, “everyone’s been telling me that she might be taking advantage of me. that she’s been with lucas.” you hadn’t been looking at them, just the floor. when you spoke, robin stopped to share that same look with steve. “i’m sure she’s not, kid. maybe they’re reading into it too much.” he had reached over the counter to ruffles your hair.. 
he had done that when you opened up to him about something that was bothering you. it was a sign of everything was going to be okay. it usually turned out to be okay but this was different. “yeah, it’ll be okay. don’t worry about it.” robin gave you a small smile, and you returned it. 
-
it was a horrible sight. it was disgusting. it made you sick to your stomach. you had been hanging out with the party. everybody except lucas and max. you should’ve known when they both called out. you guys wanted to go on a bike ride around hawkins and go to the arcade after. joyce had bought el a bike, and el had just learned how to ride one. yet, mike didn’t want dustin to beat his score in defender. so, you guys decided to go get ice cream afterwards. will and you had been behind mike, dustin and el. you hadn’t really talked to the boy much so you wanted to catch up with him. 
“wait so you like mint chocolate chip ice cream?” you asked, a hint of disgust in your tone. “yeah. what’s wrong with that?!” will argued, pretending to be offended. “nothing, just strawberry is way better.” you shrugged, looking around to take in everything. “i like strawberry ice cream too! i’m full of surprises, y/n.” you rolled your eyes and laughed a bit. 
“stop being such a couple.” dustin directed it towards mike and el, and took a quick glance at you and will. mike and el had been giggling about who knows what, and ended up leaving dustin out of the conversation. dustin slowed down to be next to you. the whole ride ended up lasting only about a minute more before you reached the ice cream shop. parking your bikes, you hadn’t been looking ahead. facing dustin and laughing at something he said, that’s all you had wished you wouldn’t have heard el greeting max who was standing a few feet away. 
she wasn’t by herself. she was with lucas. the same boy everybody had been saying she was with. everybody’s face dropped. no one dared to look at you. not even the girl herself. she quickly greeted el and tried to leave. mike looked at her in disgust, because you were one of his first friends. “what the fuck?!” he exclaimed, looking at you. you shook your head at him to not say anything further. “so you’re just gonna walk away? like you’re not just cheating on y/n? like you didn’t just do something wrong?” mike had completely ignored you but it was for the better. 
you didn’t cry, you just stood there. you felt numb, almost stuck in a way. you couldn’t speak, and will had grabbed a hold of your arm. he tried to take you away from the scene but you refused to. not because you didn’t want to, because you felt like you couldn’t. 
max just froze. she didn’t face you guys. she just stood there, guilty. as she rightfully should be. no one spoke, everybody just stopped. el stood there, confused as to what was happening right now. dustin just stood there, his face mixed with shock and disgust. mike was clearly annoyed and was disgusted as well. will had an arm wrapped around your shoulder, and just looked purely sad for his friends. 
“my heart just can’t be faithful for long.” that sentence made you finally break, it made you wanna crumble and break down. yet, you only just turned your head and sobbed into will’s shoulder. 
-
sometimes you had wished you and max stayed together. that you guys would’ve been good for each other. was this all meant to happen? there was no way to know. things cleared up after a while and you guys were on good terms. so much as to you almost fell in love again. but you knew max mayfield would only make you cry. 
note: this is my very first fic! kinda ooc of mike and max. max would never but i wanted to make an angst fic with her. also, for mike i feel like he would’ve stuck up because it was very unfair so. also will and y/n are besties after that because yes. i didn’t follow the main plot because why not? also this is obviously based on the song cry by cigarettes after sex, that’s why max says, “my heart just can’t be faithful for long.” yeah so i hoped you enjoyed !

THESE ARE MY OPINIONS ON S4 VOL2!!!!!!
SPOILERS AHEAD READ AT YOUR OWN RISK
First we will start with Eleven, I honestly thought her character had so much potential this season and it wasn't completely wasted, I loved the scene where Nancy Robin and Steve killed Vecna, I think it's better in some ways because it ended differently, it wasn't flashing lights with eleven just killing the monster, because it was so much more.
I think Millie put so much extreme effort and emotion into season 4, she did the most amazing job and I really hope we get to see more of her in season 5.
Eddies death. Ok the duffer brothers better have pulled a hopper, Eddie is one of the most fun and loving characters in the show at this time, he is a comfort character to many including me, and killing him of was really unescessary, but not only was it unescessary, it was expected and predictable, duffer brothers always manage a way to kill off a character that everyone loves, but always keep the characters that everyone hates. And one last thing, something that made me so mad was the fact that we didn't get anybody else's reaction to his death, he died and Dustin would have left I presume. But we never got any of the characters to mourn his death, so that's really disappointing because It seemed as if nobody cared except for Dustin and Eddies uncle.
Rest in piece Edward Munson 🕊🎸
Now for Stancy, I can only say one thing.
No.
Ok, I'm sure alot of people say this but we actually need to give Max a break, the poor kid isn't even 18 yet and has had to put up with being verbally and physically abused by Billy, then had to watch Billy get killed right in front of her, she had her stepfather leave which seemed to not bother her, but more bothered her mother which resulted in Max mostly being alone with just a few friends. And if Max is actually dead then so help me I will march up to the duffer brothers front doorstep and smash they're door down with an axe just to make them bring her back. And another thing, she got possessed multiple times and was floating around and shit twice, had a vision of Lucas turning against her, then floated the 2nd time whilst 3-4 of her bones snapped, both of her arms and one of her legs, and maybe more than we don't know of. Then now she's probably going to end up blind and have no memories, or dead.
Robin and Vickie.
I'm sorry this shit gotta be talked about, I personally think that Robin maybe deserves better than Vickie? But don't get me wrong, I think Vickie is an amazing character and I would love to see her and Robin have some kind of connection, but just hear me out, either Robin built confidence or lost feelings because in the ending scene when they were in the shelter, it was Vickie who was rambling, not Robin. Which means Robin wasn't nervous around her which can lead to her probably not having many feelings for Vickie as time had passed, and after Robin saw Vickie at warzone with her "boyfriend" she was talking to Steve and saying how it was probably time she got over it anyway.
And Vickie, I'm sorry babes but is Robin really just "someone from band"? Is she not more? Is she not your friend? And if you ain't gonna treat her right then I will 💀.
Nancy.
I don't have much to say but I personally liked Nancy's storyline in volume 2, it seemed similar to most, yk Nancy and her guns and her being the powerful slaying woman she is, I just wish we got more of her in vol.2 along with Robin as well. Apart from that I thought Nancy was hella badass and ate up every scene she was in. And how come nobody is talking about the fact that she was the one who killed vecna? Like he was the main villain of the whole show, he was only introduced in s4 but had really been there since s1, and "Nancy the priss wheeler" killed him without hesitation, and we support her for that.
Ronance.
Duffers, they had so much potential. SO MUCH, THEY EVEN HELD HANDS, still disappointed we didn't even get a hug or anything out of them instead we just got them making they're merry way out of the season not even together but more apart. I was screaming with joy by the scene we got to when Robin knelt down so Nancy could get up. And then they gave us stancy like 4 seconds later 🙄.
Like ur not helping the situation.
Will and his coming out.
I can't even say anything because HE DIDNT EVEN HAVE A COMING OUT, do you guys realise we waited around 6-7 years for will to come out and he didn't even mention the words himself. I atleast expected him to have a coming out scene to Jonathan or maybe Joyce when she came back, but nothing. Duffers, you have failed the gays once again.
Steve, don't get me wrong I love his character but.. I think there was too much wasted potential in this season for him to be a really good character, like what they should have done is sent Nancy and Robin to kill Vecna, and Steve and Eddie to play the guitar with the demo-bat thing, then sent Dustin with Max, Lucas, and Erica, I feel like him and Erica would have worked really well together. Anyway I still minorly enjoyed his screen time.
Stancy, again.
Ok so yes, I'm bringing them up again.
I think that bringing stancy back would ruin everything that Nancy and Steve have fought for.
Including the fact it would ruin both of the characters and they're development that they've both made over the 3-4 seasons. And overall I just don't like the ship. Like why would they ruin a perfectly fine jancy for Steve and Nancy. Would probably destroy me tbh.
Unpopular opinion, I don't really think Jason should have died. Yes I hated him but imagine you were in his situation, his girlfriend died out of nowhere and the last person she was with was Eddie. I personally would have wanted to get revenge, although I take that back for his last few scenes when he was alive. But if they can do character development with Steve they could have done it with Jason. And instead of killing Eddie off I think they all would have become pretty good friends. Go ahead and hate on me for that tho.
I think that's about it. Might make a part two idk
