“Just Because I Said Nothing Doesn’t Mean I Didn’t Notice.”

Stupid dreams. Even the good ones are bad, because they remind you how poorly reality measures up.

I'll put this right now and won't speak of it again.

I love Trevino and I think he's gonna do a terrific job directing. I have no doubt.

Maybe we will finally get a well-cut and directed episode because the last few have been a bit iffy when it comes to editing and continuity.

With that said, this episode sounds like a filler.

Especially when episode 8 brought a much-needed urgency to move the story arc on.

Now we have to stop again? Not have answers again?

For the very first time, I'll be watching an episode with the lowest of expectations (if you follow my blog you know how much I always try to stay on the positive side of things).

I know Liz is in a bad shape (by something of her own making, btw) and Max will be, surprisingly(not) on the verge of life and death again, but it kind of sucks this whole "everyone will be there to save the heroin, avengers-assemble kind of way" when the love of one of the main characters life it's LITERALLY IN A HOLE, IN ANOTHER DIMENSION, FOR ALMOST TWO WEEKS NOW.

The same character is human and has a disability.

Which makes you think he needs things to survive down there. At least, this should be the first concern once his boyfriend and friends realized he's been there and missing for days.

Again, it's the urgency that seems that will be totally forgotten in episode 9.

The fact that the whole group will stop everything to save Liz, doesn't make any sense.

At least, that's how it sounded to me.

I hope I'm wrong.

I hope Monday's episode surprises me and makes me bite my tongue, but in my opinion, this episode should have been placed early on and not now, on the second half of a season that's not explaining anything and dragging its story.

This doesn't mean I'm being negative or trying to ruin Trevino's ep.

It's just an honest opinion when it comes to the narrative we are getting so far.

Again, I hope I'm wrong and the ep surprises me.

And that was what destroyed you in the end: the longing for something you could never have.

[requested] Klaus and Diego moments of season 3

One day, whether you are 14, 28 or 65, you will stumble upon someone who will start a fire in you that cannot die. However, the saddest, most awful truth you will ever come to find - is they are not always with whom we spend our lives.

Hawkins vs. the Upside Down

The problem with human attraction is not knowing if it will be returned.

this season is just disappointment after disappointment after disappointment

all i know of love

is this ache that lingers in your absence

that lingers when you stay

is this sting when your eyes are on my skin

and everything burns in their wake

everything in me burns

but the lips that i know you’ll never kiss

the hunger that i know you’ll never sate

the feelings that i know you’ll never express

everything in me burns for you

knowing even if you want it too

you’ll never let yourself burn the same
