i don't even know what to do with myself after vol2. i seriously need to sleep but how the hell am i supposed to sleep after THAT? i quite geniunely feel like ive been made a mockery of by the tv screen, and it's unsettling as shit.

#what im trying to say is that: as a queer person vol2 is NOT IT #st spoilers #they used will's love for mike and his expression of that love (the painting) to further develop mike's relationship with el #robin & vickie are giving hella mixed messages and i dont have much hope for them at this point #will never got to come out to anyone #eddie never got 'technically confirmed' despite openly flirting with steve and using the handerchief code (look it up) #but it doesn't really matter either way because they killed him off #and there was absolutely no reason for it either. this was NOT a redemption arc. eddie had nothing to redeem himself for #he wasn't a coward for running away when chrissy got killed - there wasnt anything he could have done if he'd stayed anyway #and he wasn't really a hero for staying in the upside down and trying to fight the demobats #i am just so so very disappointed #there was a chance for a beautiful relationship between steve and eddie that would've been an awesome culmimation of their arcs #but instead steve is literally running back to someone who hurt him in the past and undoing a lot of his growth #because their relationship is straight. so it's safe. #i am DONE #there was no reason for any of this and yet here we are #stranger things 4 vol 2 #stranger things 4 #stranger things #homophobia #byler #steddie #will byers #steve harrington #eddie munson #robin buckley #romeo's ramblings
