The Fact That This Is 80 Fucking Years Ago But Still Just As Relevant Is Terrifying.

so i decided im gonna share some of my stranger things rants/random thoughts/headcanons i share with my friend (she's a saint) here as well just cause i can eheh

. . .

so here's a thought i had recently:

i was thinking about found family and how in fanfics they make the stranger thing gang usually closer then actually are in canon (which i love dont get me wrong) but i think they act a lot more like a real big extended family (shoutout to my 20 second-cousins who i never see) like

'we only talk to each other if nana is dying (upside down shit) and at christmas maybe'

and they are all messy af and weird like real extended family like:

yeah this is uncle steve he's going through his third divorce

this is my cousin dustin, he's my favorite, dont tell him his ego is already big enough

this is great aunt joyce she's always talking about crazy things and somehow she's always right, love the woman

this my cousin eddie, he went to prison once, we dont talk about that

this is my cousin max, she and her boyfriend break up like 60 times a year

this is uncle billy, he goes to anger management therapy mandated by the state

this is my second-cousin mike, i hate him but mom says i have to talk to him at easter lunch

do you rember when we told you great uncle jim died? yeah actually he faked his death for tax reasons and he's back now!

. . .

so yeah just some of my 2am rumbling thoughts about ST hope u enjoyed

everyone who decided that joyce byers adopts billy hargrove i owe you my life are you kidding

Robin and Billy making eye contact when meeting for the first time and he has his dangly earring in and she's wearing a tie

steve needs a break

Is a word of this a lie?

I associate Leorio with dances like Rock'n'roll lindyhop and smt like these! I don’t know why :D He made Kurapika dance

character: *thinks the way they look is undesirable and no one would ever love them*

me *recognizing myself through the other*: what the fuck is this shit

same thing for personality too btw

not to be like poor me or something, but reading a fic with characters who really don't like themselves and think they don't deserve to be loved/ the other person could never love them but in the end the other person actually does love them for who they are gives me so much hope for my own life

character: *thinks the way they look is undesirable and no one would ever love them*

me *recognizing myself through the other*: what the fuck is this shit

In my defense some of that is canon.
