Int: What Was The Audition Like, For The Band? [x]

source // incorrect stranger things quotes series

I am glad you are hopeful about s4 and I love how you are trying to make sense of things but I accepted that the writers only care about fan service. They forgot what we love is the characters&their relationships with each other. General audience is going crazy over the funny parts and the fight scenes and writers care about that. This is the only explanation for this horrible season. We didn't get character developments or scenes apart from a few characters ?! Sorry, needed to let it out.

Oh, I definitely expected fanservice. I expected WAY more fanservice and I’m surprised it wasn’t as much as I thought. I got pretty annoyed with the product placement. Please guys. Stop being so obvious. :/ Leave the product placement for advertising, not within the actual show please. Lucas’s rant is different than every other character freakin’ drinking new coke and shit. At least it made sense for them to have that conversation or to show off the can then.

Anyway, the fans definitely seem to have a say in who gets what. The louder you are, the more you get. People love Billy and want redemption. I think Billy x Steve fics are the second most popular on Ao3. So guess what? Wish granted. Who gains you more favor? The massive amounts of Billy fans, or the ones that don’t care or dislike him?

When it comes to Steve and the mom meme, we are most definitely completely outnumbered. Steve has more people considering him the best mom on the show compared to Joyce, the actual best mom. I think there’s even official Mom Steve merch. I’m pretty sure on Mother’s day, they dedicated a post to mom Steve. So, fandom wish granted. “Mom” Steve. 

I feel two ways about it. It sucks when a creators vision is so… driven by what the fans want instead of writing more of what needs to happen, if you know what I mean.

At the same time, if the situation were flipped, I would be happy that they were catering to my interests so much (Byers family, Will and El, Lucas the action man to name a few). And they might be catering to my interests in the future and I will be happy. It’s hypocritical, but it’s my true feelings.

Yet, there’s still a side of me that wishes what I wanted and what other fans wanted didn’t direct the story so much. I wish they would write what flows most naturally and not try to shoehorn in screen time for the fandom favs. 

But it is what it is. Personally, I am not new to being the underdog in fandoms. Wanting screen time between characters who aren’t popular, have never met, or who aren’t popular together seems to happen to me a lot. But, unlike most of my underdog favorites, I feel like Stranger Things may just deliver on it. I just wish it had been this season 

This is the only line I retained from watching Dune

Dune is about a mythical space twink taking so much LSD that he gains the power to impose White Boy Summer on the entire galaxy

5x08 // 7x10

that one scene in dune part two where chani and paul are talking and she asks him "is it true that where you come from water falls from the sky?" and he laughs and goes "yes. where i come from, everywhere you see sand, there is water." and chani goes "nah you're fuckin with me"

“When I see photos from that day I think: Relationships are hard, at any age. And adding in that you don’t really understand exactly how it works when you’re 18, trying to navigate all that stuff didn’t make it easier. I mean, you’re a little bit awkward to begin with. You’re on a date with someone you really like. It should be that simple, right? It was a learning experience for sure. But at the heart of it – I just wanted it to be a normal date.“”
