"People Of Gaza. Palestinians. Your Hunger Is Our Shame."

I don't want him to die because I hate him but because he is one of my favorite characters on the show.

I understand what op means and have nothing against people who agree but I want to present a different point of view.

I want him to be the character with most screen time this season (maybe with the exception of El) and I want as many story arcs for him. Revealing what happened in the upside down all these years ago and how he survived, more of him spying on Vecna, him in trances fighting or running from One in his mind, being the best with guns after Nancy and Hopper and owning it, some more trauma we didn't know about, Birthday gate, him with powers? I want everything they can give us.

I want the writers to flush him out, show us how much he has been through and how he is still fighting even after everything. I want him full of hope, seeing the light at the end of the tunnel for a first time in a long time, finding strength to dream and have hopes for tomorrow again, finding himself, feeling like himself amongst the people he loves, happy, content and holpfull.

Then I want him to die. I don't want him to die in just any way. I want him to sacrifice himself to save everyone (bonus points if it was the only way to end it all) but not because he doesn't have anything to live for or because he is depressed and alone. I want him to sacrifice himself because he has hope. Hope that everyone else will survive, finish it and live good, fulfilling lives even if he isn't there anymore.

I want to see his end as the very opposite of how he was in the beginning of the series. Whereas when he was taken he was afraid, helpless and desperate to survive by the end of S5 he should be confident, hopeful and in peace with his demise.

In the beginning, he was taken against his will, and he had to run and hide to survive. In the end, he stops running and hiding, not from monsters but from himself and who he really is. (Maybe he had known for a long time that he had to die to stop the Upside down and Henry but was too afraid but now he is ready.)

I don't really want him to die but there is something poetic about the series starting and ending with him. If they really do a good job with his character and arc and then kill him I will be at peace (emotionally broken but still) but if he lives but they don't do much with his character I will be disappointed.

There are many things a character can be worse than death and one of them is irrelevant.

He thought he was a mistake… his own dad called him slurs… he survived in the upside down by himself… kids bullied him at school… he was in love with his best friend… castle byers was his only safe place… he still didn’t know his life could turn even worse… and yet there’s people that want him to die in s5

One cool thing about being asexual is that your self worth is completely independent of how attractive you are. I don't have to give a single shit about whether there's anyone on God's green earth who wants to fuck me because there's not a single person I want to fuck. I'm free. I'm also hot as fuck but it's completely irrelevant. It only matters to the extent that it lets me get away with not caring about how I look

I’ve been found dead on the floor with tears streaming down my face

Like, okay the dehumanization and misogyny of it all. Mauer treating this woman like a toy and attempting to gaslight her. The unspoken threat of sexual violence and what he could have done to her. Gemma clearly hating this man and him still toying with her because he can. It’s a violation, it’s abhorrent. The way that it’s not even clear that the company knows or not. That this technology would attract freaks who would abuse women and that it’s a plot point that in the news an innie did get pregnant. Literally kidnapped and treating her like a Testing animal. It’s so fucked up. It’s so fucking fucked up.

The way that this technology is being actually developed by real technofascist cretins who would do this.

All the "I would have also dated Dorian Gray knowing how morally bankrupted he is. Have you seen him?" posts annoyed me a little but I thought they were just jokes and didn’t think much of them...But were they really? With the amount of people on the internet arguing how "books are not political" and debating how characters like Batman would be republican I am not so sure anymore.

He was a man written by a woman, unfortunately the woman was Sarah j Maas

We need more simps

Why did writers decide that simp characters are out and cold Duke of the North ones are in? Don’t get me wrong some aloof male leads are really good but most of the time their whole personality is their successful carriers and deep trauma that made them cold as stones. Simps are much more entertaining to watch/read about in my opinion.

The world needs more characters like Basil Hallward and Armand, but right now, only kdramas (to my knowledge; if you have recommendations, please share) are giving us the much-needed simps, which is tragic.

I read so many things about the gay context and undertones in The Picture of Dorian Gray... Why were you all lying to me? It is just text plain and simple. I thought Basil was pretty upfront with his feelings for Dorian from the beginning and now I just read pages of him confessing his undying love and devotion to Dorian himself. How is that context, undertones or whatever words people are using to describe this clearly homosexual novel?
