i can’t believe people watch the last of us and hear “save who you can save” and “there was one person worth saving. and that’s what i did, i saved him and i protected him. that’s why men like you and me are here” and then somehow get to the season one finale and don’t understand the thesis of the show. you can philosophize back and forth on the good of the one versus the good of the many, but in crisis, in truly awful situations, our selfishness is bravery. it’s brave to refuse to let the harsh world take away what matters to you. joel saved ellie because in a world of unimaginable chaos and tragedy we have to cling to love at all costs. it’s human. it’s natural. it’s illogical, maybe. but it’s what we do for each other. because human beings even in our darkest hours cannot bear to live in the world without love. and god help any motherfuckers that stand in our way.
Okay, I went on the Mileven tag because they got some amazing development in Volume 2, and it's filled with b*ler stans, claiming the they were 'queer baited'. I call bullshit.
You ship whatever you want, as long as it is within reason and you can accept canon.
And right now, it is canon that Mileven is endgame.
BITCH BETTER ❗❗
I've said this 50 times and I'll say it another 50 times.
If fez dies I'm done. I'm gone. It's over. I shall cease to exist. I mean it. Like no. How could they. Why would they. I refuse. Will go through the five stages of grief except there will be no acceptance. I'll never move on. I haven't read the leaks but everyones alluding to that. I don't even wanna know. I'm fearing for my life. How can I live laugh love in these conditions. Killing him would be rude asf. And fexi?!?!?. Nah the bare minimum is they stay together forever. I'm literally not accepting anything else. Sam levinson you have been warned. I stg.
Sam Levinson I swear to god Don't test me-
*heavy sighing*
Can we please stop trying to claim that Silco manipulated Jinx into sticking around?
When we saw her choose to cling to him in Act 1, and he had no idea Vi was actually still alive as evidenced when Sevika mentions her being back, and his ass whirls around in his chair all wide eyed and says, "From the dead!?" And proceeds to pay Marcus a visit about the lie he was told?
Silco did not manipulate Jinx. Please stop trying to claim he did. Please. Worst. Take. EVER.
Some people truly hate El and it’s sickening. I understand that she’s just a fictional character but there are people out there like her.
Here is my take:
El does not have to be separate from Mike for her to grow. She can be with Mike romantically and still be able to grow as her own person. The point of El’s storyline this season was not to separate her from Mike and only focus on herself. It was not to make her realize she has to be alone in this fight. The point of her storyline was to reassure her that she was not the monster and she does not deserve to be treated as one, nor does she deserve to be treated as a lab rat. She grew to understand she is deserving of love and can use that love to motivate her to fight.
Mike’s monologue was not for Will and had nothing to do with Will. The fact that you all try to twist Mike’s words to make it about Will is so degrading and cruel to El’s character. She is an abused, traumtized, psychologically tortured girl (and is most likely neurodivergent). She deserves the love Mike gives her. And Mike loves her for exactly who she is. The fact that you all try to twist his words is so depressing. Just look at yourselves. How cruel would it be to El to hear all that only to have it be not true? Beyond cruel I can’t even articulate that. The ableism in this fandom is so strong and it needs to stop. If El was just a normal girl none of you would be saying this. And if the roles were reversed and Mike was saying this to Will, none of you would say anything. Talk about being biased.
You do not know the characters better than the people who created them and the actors who play them. You can be upset or disappointed that whatever headcanon you had did not come true, but you cannot tell the Duffers and/or actors that they dont know/ruined the character. You cannot confuse fanon with canon and then be upset to the point your blaming the creators and calling the actors bad actors all because your character didn’t end up the way you visioned them to be. If the writers wrote El to choose to be with Mike, then she chooses to be with Mike, If Mike loves El since the moment he saw her, then he loves her since the moment he saw her. In the end, the creators and actors know the characters better than you.
Do not trust Noah Schnapp. You will save yourself a lot of disappointment.
So let me get this straight. Byler fans want El to come back from being traumatized and confronted with her past as a lab rat to this evil government man… only to be broken up with by her boyfriend so that he can go date her brother? That’s what ya’ll want? How bout you all just admit that you hate El and let’s go on with our day!
IMAGINE
I mean-
BITCH YOU BETTER BE?!!?!??!
I just can’t get over how happy Lexi looks every time she talks to Fez on the phone
