Real Quick Rant

real quick rant

i think genuinely that the worst ending for stranger things except the one where all the main characters die or the one where the bad guys win, is the ending where main characters achieve the life they inadvertently worked so hard against in the series.

in so many shows the ending is the exact opposite of the prominent ground morals so many characters are shown to have throughout the entire show. where a characters innermost desires and freedoms are shown through their actions and wants, and yet their entire ending is shown to be just that fear. the fear that they’re gonna end up just like the ones before them, and that none of their actions truly had any impact.

it shows that the cycle continues.

an example of this would be say if nancy ended up like her mom. if she settled down in a suburb with a husband she didn’t care much about and kids she wanted better for, she would end up exactly like karen. not only with the life nancy didn’t want for herself, but also the life karen didn’t want for her kids.

this is a very real possibility with some of the main characters in the show. if we look at the reasoning behind their original choices, we can see why they do what they do. which is exactly why this is so dangerous, and such an easy trap to fall into.

the safest choice is always the easiest.

the duffer brothers have been shown to be bold at times, but they’re resorting more and more to the default as the show’s popularity expands. the true quality of the final ending will not be about the ending itself, but about how bold they are willing to be when addressing these issues and the protagonists feelings.

they can have the cinematography down to the dot and still completely mess up the ending if they decide to take the safe route.

if will never addresses his feelings openly, if max ends up dead, or worse, wakes up unharmed. if steve ends up at his dad’s company, if dustin never gets to grieve properly, if el doesn’t find the path she herself chooses, and not the ones others choose for her.

it is because of these character’s faults and ability to love openly that we like them. that they still have some relevancy to this day even if the show takes place in the 80’s. we are able to relate to them and connect to them as human beings, as outcasts throughout, and it will be the lack of this spark that could be the potential downfall of stranger things.

One thing I truly love about Mabel is that she is completely genuine and sincere weird little girl representation. She has a morbid sense of humour. She grew up with a horrifying plush bear called Bear-O and literally everybody hated him. Her prized possession is a pig whom she won at a carnival, claiming to be a witch while doing so. Her initial design for a wax figure was a fairy princess horse fairy princess. She punched a unicorn. She draws portraits of her friends on cats and sells them for a profit. Her dream boyfriend is a Bill and Ted clone who has a masters in law. She's scared of stop motion. Her uncle didn't like colours so she hatched a plan with her friends to blind him. When her uncle offered her a free gift from his shop, she took a grappling hook without even considering any other option. One time she said the sentence "it's covered in my blood, sweat, tears, and other fluids." No one is doing it like her

Dates Cathy and Anne Would Go On

Bookshop dates- This mainly involves following each other around for the first ten minutes, and then losing each other. They occasionally go back to the other to excitedly whisper “Look what I found <3″, after they found a book they’d been wanting or the other had been after. By the end of the trip, both their arms would be full, but Anne would always insist on carrying Cathy’s, so Anne’s arms would be overflowing. Cathy’s first stop is usually the classic or high-fantasy section, and Anne’s is the sci-fi/Manga or a graphic novel section.

Picnics- This would be the time where Anne is the least like a gremlin, because 1) there is food, 2) they’re at the park and dogs always come up to them (I headcanon both of them being dog people), 3) Cathy looks beautiful in the sunlight. Anne always tries to cuddle Cathy, and Cathy’s always trying not to choke on whatever she’s eating bc Anne is tickling her.

Stargazing trips- Cathy knows all the names of the stars and constellations, and she’ll rant about their stories too. Anne listens, not even looking at the stars but just at how beautiful Cathy is in the starlight. They lie on top of their car, which is a beat-up blue jeep with mud all along the sides.

not-really-a-date-but-I-wanted-to-write-about-it - Anne will just randomly come into Cathy’s room with coffee and then she’ll sit on Cathy’s bed, just watching her write. The tap of the keyboard eases her, and watching Cathy turn around to hand her the writing to read makes her really happy bc Cathy doesn’t share her work with anyone else until it’s fully finished.

You know how companies used to make flour sacks with pretty flower patterns on them because mothers would make dresses out of them for their daughters? We should bring that back. Paper bags designed to be reused as wrapping paper. Jars of jam designed to look nice filled with pencils or homemade sauces. Fabric that's high quality enough to use as a patch.

Give things a second life!!
