Good Content

The only leaks I’m ever gonna believe anymore is if it’s real footage or a photo. Because I’m so tired of the ones with no real evidence or reliable sources (and you all know what I’m talking about)

Okay but what if “Let’s start a new party, you and me” is actually the love confession? Like, ya gotta admit that sounds romantic in the context of Byler

Good point. It’s just I feel he deserves to beat the shit out of someone. Just one person

Spoilers for stranger things 4 (I mean not really but still, kind of)

Bro imagine if Will goes into a Vecna trance he’s in a baseball field… I mean it depends on what Vecna would go after but if it’s Will being gay and his feelings… the baseball field would be perfect because Lonnie would force him to play baseball and Lonnie was homophobic and abusive, so imagine that.

Seriously I would start balling because I know that if Will gets Vecna’s curse it’s gonna be a more of a struggle for him to get out of it, because there is so many things Vecna can take advantage of and that’s what scares me

I’ve been messing around with screenshots in PS Express and I realized some interesting things about this shot specifically:

Here is the unedited screenshot.

Now of course I wanted to check for the yellow and blue in this shot. It’s a bit subtle in the unedited version, but when I up the saturation for the yellow and blue tones you’ll notice that Will’s side is yellow and Mike’s is blue.

With the yellow pulled up and teal pulled down

With the yellow pulled down and the teal pulled up.

Admittedly there is a lot more teal than blue, which is interesting considering that teal is closer to green. There is actually a lot of green in this shot as well, here is the image with the saturation pulled all the way up which really emphasizes all of the green.

What was also interesting to me was just how much Will was in the light and Mike was in the dark, and how their costumes contribute to that. Will is dressed in light colors, while Mike’s black pants specifically really brings him into the shadows a lot more.

Here’s what it looks like when I crushed the blacks. Will is still pretty visible while Mike is almost completely lost.

Just thought this was a fun little study. It’s interesting to see how color grading and post ends up contributing to deeper meanings as well.

Human beings in a mob

What’s a mob to a king?

What’s a king to a god?

What’s a god to a non-believer?

Okay but I hate it when I’m watching Byler videos on YouTube and then there’s just this one comment going “It’s cute and all but Mike loves Eleven. What about Eleven?” Like they try so hard not to sound angry but I can tell they are shaking behind the screen.

Why do you need to comment this? Like we care? Eleven can be happy without Mike and also, there’s of evidence saying he doesn’t love her romantically. These people annoy me so much-

Like they say they aren’t mad when they literally typed a whole fucking paragraph 💀

I’m sobbing

the byers are used to having to let go of the things and the ones they love.

joyce lost will, her son, her boy. he disappeared and nobody paid attention to her consistent desperation to get him back and if they did, they only did because they thought she was crazy. talking to the lights, putting a hole through her wall with an axe, not believing he's dead despite seeing "his body". everybody wanted her to let go of him already, accept that he's gone for good.

then she lost bob, her light after darkness. she saw him die, a brutal, horrifying death where she could do nothing but stand, watch and break. after finally witnessing and feeling what it's like to live in the sweet comfort of predictability and stability, she had to let him go.

and it doesn't stop there because then she lost hopper, the only person who truly understands her and has been there with and for her since the beginning. she didn't only have to let him go but she had to live with the guilt and the pain that she pulled the lever that killed him.

jonathan lost his childhood, nobody ever acknowledges it but he did. he was abused by his father, forced to kill animals and become somebody he's not. he had to work to help his family at 15, plan a funeral for his brother at 16 all while keeping everything held down for his mother, taking care of her, protecting her and while getting heavily bullied for being different.

joyce lost her son but jonathan also lost his brother and had to live with the guilt that if he didn't pick that extra shift, he could've saved will. he had to let go of one of the only two people he cared about and nobody bothered to ever ask him how he was doing.

and now jonathan is letting go of nancy because he loves her too much to get in the way of her future. he knows she has big dreams, knows she doesn't want to turn out like her parents, knows she doesn't want to get married and live a stereotypical life so he's letting her go because he knows she can't have the life she truly wants and deserves if she stays with him and he loves her too much to hold her back even at the cost of his own heart breaking.

will.. where does one even start with will?

will had to let go of everything. his childhood was half gone being kidnapped and possessed by a dark shadow from an alternate dimension and half gone being bullied for who he is by his classmates and his father.

he had to let go of his hobbies because his friends outgrew them. he was forced to grow up when he still wasn't ready yet. he had to run to get to where everyone else walked to.

then he had to let go of his love for his best friend, his best friend who is in love with his step sister. his best friend who said the day he went missing was the best day of his life. his best friend who he adored like no other. his best friend who he'd risk his life for but he had to let him go because at the end of the day, he's just like his brother. he's letting go of the one he loves because he doesn't think he's enough for him. never enough to be what he truly wants. so he has no other choice but to let him go the way he had to with everything else he's ever loved.

idk what this is and it's probably shitty but i've been thinking about it for the past few days and it's been breaking my heart & making me sad so i'm gonna force you to be sad with me. sorry and you're welcome.

+i didn't proofread any of what i wrote so if there's any mistakes.. be a good person and ignore them. thanks! :)

Something I notice is that when Mike&Ikes say that “Mike couldn’t say I love you because of his parents!” Not only is it obviously not really true but their whole point can be broken in one word. Purpose.

So when Stancy had that whole ‘I love you’ argument in Season 2, the purpose of this scene is to show that the reason that Nancy couldn’t say she loves Steve was because she didn’t love him. If the purpose was to show that Nancy has a problem expressing her feelings because of their parents, then the argument would have went in a completely different direction.

The purpose of the Stancy fight and Milkvan fight was to show why Nancy and Mike couldn’t say I love you was because they don’t love these people. If they really wanted to go down the “it’s because of their parents that they can’t express feelings.” Then they would have addressed it.

Now you could say that they do address their parents relationship but again, the purpose to show it is not that. It’s to show that Karen and Ted do not love each other. It doesn’t show their lack of affection towards each other, it shows that they are a loveless relationship. The purpose of the arguments and comparing their parents relationship is that they are loveless. If they wanted to go in the “they don’t show much affection” thing then they would have made Karen and Ted actually in love with each other, they just have issues showing that.

The Mike&Ikes are so close but they barely pass the finish line

I’m still wishing for Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne to play in ST4-

Volume 2 don’t flop this shine hope for me 😄
