I did some weird shit at 14 bro
“maybe you weren’t a terrible person. maybe you were just fourteen”
So the nightingale song was played by the Bentley at the end of season 2 just to be a dick about it lmaooo
I can see no evidence where Crowley mentions having an affinity for Queen. In the book he listens to classical, specifically Handel. In the show we see one copy of The Velvet Underground's greatest hits and three songs are canon via the authors.
You know who likes Queen, the Bently. This is why the Bently turns any music left in the car after a fortnight into Queen. If anything, Crowley is a victim of Queen.
also as pointed out" He considers leaving Hastur in the car stuck in voicemail until he turns into a best of queen but quickly decides that’s too horrible a deed even for a demon so I don’t think he likes them!"
Nah but this is why I’m scared.
I suppose it's worth pointing out that, hypothetically, Byler could not happen. It wouldn't be because we were blind, or stupid, or overly hopeful, or anything like that. All the evidence is, indeed, there. However, the Duffers, again, hypothetically, could decide not to go with it for one reason or another. They could have Mike reject Will. They could use it simply to drive Will's gay coming-of-age story arc, including him learning to "move on." They could use it merely to make Will vulnerable to Henry, allowing him to be taken again. They could have one of them die (unlikely, given what we know). They could even have it never even be directly addressed.
However, none of this changes how bad this writing would be in this hypothetical universe.
They will have spent the better part of a decade building up a slowburn rejection. It wouldn't be any old slowburn rejection, though. It would be the slowburn rejection of a gay teen who did nothing but experience trauma and rejection since the very first episode, and even before. We will have gotten to see little glimpses into how happy he could be, but ultimately walk away knowing he will never be truly happy with the only one who would likely ever truly understand him.
I can't say that I've ever seen a slowburn rejection depicted on-screen in the first place. The fact that the rejection would come at the expense of a gay kid would be insensitive at best and homophobic at worst.
I choose to believe the Duffers are not that insensitive. I choose to believe that Noah, despite him seeming to enjoy playing a suffering person, wouldn't want Will to finish his story heartbroken. I choose to believe the writers know what they've been doing, not having fallen ass-backwards into a gay love story.
What do you believe?
I finally got around to starting this wonderful book, what is essentially an encyclopaedia / analysis into moominvalley and all the creatures, characters, themes, and stories therein. The cover and the size strike me the most, this thing is large! It’s beautifully embossed and gilded (although the printing on the back cover is slightly misaligned but I find it gives it more depth)
The inside cover has this intricate bookplate with the latin “Work and Love”. It’s not captioned so that all I can get from it for now.
Past that is a pretty and colourful spread in the style of the magazine covers, there’s a lot of contrast here, not only with the colours but the sun and storm clouds being a page apart.
The foreword by Frank Cottrell-Boyce and author introduction by Phillip Ardagh both tell the same story, of how they discovered moominvalley, and how they now relate to it later in life. Ostensibly the same story, they relate to moominvalley differently, with Frank views his relationships and experiences through it, branding people as “fillyjonks” and himself as a “moominpapa”. Phillip puts the books into context, 1945 being the end of the war, and relating (and extending) the unrelenting good will of the moomin family to events in our own time.
What is consistent with the two though is their adoration and respect for Tove. Frank admiring her ability to connect with people across social classes and countries, and Phillip’s name isn’t on the front or back cover nor even the spine, it is The World of Moominvalley, as created by Tove Jannison.
I’m really excited to get into this book ^_^ the authors seem like people with genuine connections to the stories I love, hearing them talk about how they relate moominvalley to their daily lives reminds me there is a real community around all this!
Hey, a quick PSA:
Stranger Things is green-lit for its final season. It's not getting renewed anyway. Refusing to watch a show that's already being made does nothing of importance, just like how watching movies already being released did nothing to harm the WGA/SAG strike.
If you want to do something that will actually make some kind of difference you can:
Cancel your Netflix subscription and actually stop giving money.
Don't buy any Stranger Things merch going forward.
Boycott the companies that Palestinians are ASKING you to boycott. Boycott McDonalds, Starbucks, Disney+, and all the other companies on the list they GAVE you. Targeted boycotting is more effective, and these companies are directly supporting Israel.
Keep talking about Palestine more than you talk about Noah/Stranger Things. Keep the focus on Palestinians!

I understand not wanting to look at Noah's face, because I'm right there with you. I don't want to see him either. But let's do things that really help.
we go just right.
I haven't drawn Snufkin in a while, so here he is. This time done in digital, still trying to figure out how to draw like this.
Ps. I have no idea why I draw everything in blue now.
I'm only here for the ships. If you know me, hi :)@definitely.aaron on insta
