Stranger Things 4 - Blog Posts
I don’t care what any antis say, Eddie and Post-S3 Billy would’ve definitely been besties.
Nothing makes me cackle more than Dacre Montgomery posting bts pics, not of ST, but the Elvis movie on the premiere of Vol 2 🤣
He really said 🖕once he saw the mistreatment of Billy’s character by the duffle bags.
Please ignore the shitty quality I don’t know why my phone does this 😂
To the many peoole who think Billy is a irredemable characther and completly beyond redepmtion or deserved to die. Cool. Have your opinion but I would suggest that those people never go into the field of child protection or working with abuse victims. The thing about abuse victims, especially child victims is that anger and lashing out are very normal behavioural reactions. They model what they see, they use toughness to protect themselves or to convince the world they don't care. It self protection and survial.
This is a kid who gets beaten by his dad, got left by his mother and never understood why she didnt take him too, left to the hell she was trying to escape from. Got a new family thrushed upon him where it felt like this new sister got treated better than him for no reason and at the time of his death was still living in that horrible situation. He was still a kid when he died. Now does that excuse his actions and they way he treated Max or any or the rest of themm No it doesn't. Is Max entitled to how she feels about him? Sure. She has her own trauma. But was he evil? Nah, he was a scared, lonely kid who never got to explore the world outside his abusive life. Who obviosuly has enough good in him to sacrifice himself at the end, who seemed like he never truly wanted to hurt anyone judging by how upset he was.
In my opinion the way many see Billy is sympathetic of how we treat kids going through these situations. It is easy to feel sympathetic and wanting to help the kid who is showing the signs we expect of trauma, the ones we feel just removing them from the environment and showing love will magically fix. Its easier to look at season 1 Eleven who hid and didnt speak, (also valid reactions to trauma) but the truth of it is that the Billy's are far more the norm in these situations than we think and I have worked with many and not a single one was irrredemable or beyond growing for the better and there is not a single kid who deserved what happneed to them. Billy is no differnt. I really think he could have grown as a characther and had the potential to be able to make up for his actions and forge a relationship with Max.
Anger and lashing out is one of the signs of abuse we we are taught to look for. So if you are someone who is abuse victim and sometimes the only way you can deal with it is to lash out and get angry just know you are not bad or beyond help, and I am proud of you for surviving the best way you onow how and for wanting to change. You are dealing with your situation the best you can and you can grow. Your are more than a sum of your worst moments. I ❤️
The characther of Billy deserved way better than Season 4. Why do that to him? Uhh!
me, aware that billy isn’t coming back, next friday when he indeed doesn’t come back @ the duffels
basically billy nation depending on what happens on friday
everyone going crazy at the thought of steve dying.. not me tho im numb ever since i saw billy get literally suction cupped to death
Argyle: *Exists*
Me:
things max kept from billy
okay, so @meowmeowbilly ‘s post about the little belt/decor in billy’s door, now on max’s door, ignited my curiosity about what other things that once belonged to billy were still around max and susan’s trailer. here are the little things i found!
this little suitcase that used to be in the shelves in billy’s room
his bedside table clock
his headphones
and this little candle (or glass)
I'm willing to bet that if Argyle was another lanky white dude there would be more hype around the character
I don't care what anyone says, Eduardo Franco is attractive as fuck
God I am so tired of seeing people online simping for 01’s murderous krypt keeper looking ass and getting praised for it when the mere mention of liking Billy online gets you a ton of hate, tf is wrong with the internet man
I genuinely want to know how someone can simultaneously be Anti Billy and a Max Stan when Max herself is President of the Billy fan-club.
me too girl.. me too
Why have Billy look alive when he's dead when the others looked dead but are alive? Why would Vecna do that? Wouldn't it be more affective to have Max see the corpse of her dead brother? And the tear???? Why would Vecna bother putting that little detail in???
The hypocrisy is amazing. Cause you know that if it were Ted Wheeler ogling, flirting, AND agreeing to sleep with Heather in S3, fans would be out for his blood (for good reason). But, because it was a woman preying on a teenage boy, the narrative pushes her predatory behavior under the rug and said woman apparently gets a bigger role for the next season.
me when i remember billy was 17 when karen put him in her spank bank and decided to openly thirst after him for an entire year following
Eddie did not die in Dustin’s arms to distract the bats from Steve, Robin, and Nancy so that way they could kill Vecna for y’all to disrespect him by saying that his death and character arc were meaningless
My favorite headcannons in my Stranger Things Fic:
Will hates that El's birthday is celebrated on November 6th (she picked it), but then he forgets that it's the day he goes missing so he moves on. She only picked that date because it's usually seen as bad so she wanted to make him happy
Back in California, Will and El used to split the time they spent with Sean. Will gets Monday and Tuesday, El gets Thursday and Friday, and he hangs out with both on Wednesdays. On the weekends, he spends time with Argyle.
Furthermore, Sean met them because he threw a book at Will's head. He was aiming for Angela, but she dodged it. He got two weeks' detention and met them after Argyle did. Will fell for him the same day he got hit.
Eleven likes to be called Jane more than "El" but she keeps it as a nickname.
Mike spent a whole day at Max's house complaining about how much he dislikes Sean.
Sean's real birth name is Ignacio De La Cruz. His birth mother is white Dominican and his biological dad is Afro-Dominican. His mother was shot four times because she broke into the lab repeatedly to get him back. She's alive, lives in Indianapolis, and is still looking for him.
Angela and Sean used to be friends but that was before he was outed. El and Will know nothing about this story.
Sean knows Spanish but no one knows how. In fact, no one in the adopted family taught him Spanish. He started speaking it one day and they just went along with it.
Dr. Roseanne, their therapist, believes that Sean and El are on the neurodivergent spectrum. They both have varying severities of ADHD, autism, BPD, PTSD, depression, and anxiety. She knows not to diagnose them just yet.
Sean would identify as genderfluid if he grew up in 2024.
Ana Maria was arrested because Sean and Mateo had found a dead body in their backyard and had moved it. She confessed to killing the man and got the charges dropped from her brothers.
The man died form heroin overdose
Eleven gets irregular periods. Jonathan was there when she got her first one. She was terrified.
Eleven and Will were taught how to surf by Argyle. Jonathan would take videos of them while Sean suntanned (he doesn't need to tan at all but he can't swim).
Elliot calls Max daily to complain about Lucas's gentle and unbearable physical affection. She laughs every time.
Erica loves Lucas. And she tells him every night before she goes off to bed. (She's terrified of losing him after Vecna)
Erica and Melanie are very close and do each other's hair.
Will, Eleven, and Mike go to NYU. Sean goes to Cal U School of Arts. Max enters the workforce and become a tattoo apprentice. Dustin and Lucas get into Perdue. Elliot and Melanie join them a year later.
Steve has been in love with Jonathan since he punched him back in S1.
The Guerreros are incredibly rich. Their dad owns the Sufer Boy Pizza Franchise, and Argyle just likes to smoke weed and make pizza.
Their majors are Double Major in Fine Arts & Art History (Will); Double Major in Business & English (Mike); Fashion Design (Eleven); Double Major in Theater Arts & Art History (Sean); Architectural Science (Lucas); Computer Science (Dustin); Sports and Physical Therapy (Elliot); Writing and Journalism (Melanie)
Suzie becomes ex-Mormon
Not gonna lie guys I think I’m a little a lot gay for Chrissy Cunningham
They’re gay your honor
the fruity four ✨
Continuing from my last post, I tried my hand at interpreting a Demobat!Eddie Munson. Spent the whole session listening to Mötley Crüe, a metal band I’ve recently fallen in love with. I might render it later.
music rlly matters in filmmaking because if they played Beat It in that little scene that everyone was doing badass shit in stranger things 4 episode 9 i literally would’ve creamed my pants right there
I didn't really like Stranger Things season 4 however Robin served a lot of cunt, which I did like.
