real quick rant

i think genuinely that the worst ending for stranger things except the one where all the main characters die or the one where the bad guys win, is the ending where main characters achieve the life they inadvertently worked so hard against in the series.

in so many shows the ending is the exact opposite of the prominent ground morals so many characters are shown to have throughout the entire show. where a characters innermost desires and freedoms are shown through their actions and wants, and yet their entire ending is shown to be just that fear. the fear that they’re gonna end up just like the ones before them, and that none of their actions truly had any impact.

it shows that the cycle continues.

an example of this would be say if nancy ended up like her mom. if she settled down in a suburb with a husband she didn’t care much about and kids she wanted better for, she would end up exactly like karen. not only with the life nancy didn’t want for herself, but also the life karen didn’t want for her kids.

this is a very real possibility with some of the main characters in the show. if we look at the reasoning behind their original choices, we can see why they do what they do. which is exactly why this is so dangerous, and such an easy trap to fall into.

the safest choice is always the easiest.

the duffer brothers have been shown to be bold at times, but they’re resorting more and more to the default as the show’s popularity expands. the true quality of the final ending will not be about the ending itself, but about how bold they are willing to be when addressing these issues and the protagonists feelings.

they can have the cinematography down to the dot and still completely mess up the ending if they decide to take the safe route.

if will never addresses his feelings openly, if max ends up dead, or worse, wakes up unharmed. if steve ends up at his dad’s company, if dustin never gets to grieve properly, if el doesn’t find the path she herself chooses, and not the ones others choose for her.

it is because of these character’s faults and ability to love openly that we like them. that they still have some relevancy to this day even if the show takes place in the 80’s. we are able to relate to them and connect to them as human beings, as outcasts throughout, and it will be the lack of this spark that could be the potential downfall of stranger things.

Tips for anyone struggling with anxiety/anyone feeling anxious (from a very anxious boi)

Do a crossword or sudoku. I find that focusing on something that stretches my brain distracts me from whatever I’m worrying about.

Don’t go for a walk. Or anything relaxing really. This is going to push you further into those thoughts because you’re giving yourself the space to.

Journaling. Journaling doesn’t work for everyone, but if it does for you, definitely try it! The downside to this is that it can give you the space to go really deep into your thoughts, so I would recommend only doing this once you’re feeling calm/calmer. This can help you figure out your feelings and what made you feel like that.

take. your. meds. That is if you have a prescription and access to them. You have them for a reason, and it will help you.

Breathing exercises. I’m a big fan of breathing in for a count of four, holding for four, and breathing out for four. Then you just repeat that until you’re calmer. I also like this butterfly one, where you cross your hands at the wrist and alternate gently tapping your chest with each hand every time you breathe in or out.

your body and mind need each other. Your body can’t function well off three hours of sleep, and your mind can’t function well without enough water and it won’t do well under constant anxiety, and the two need to work together if you 

Probably the most talked about one, but also the least done one. Remove yourself from the situation. Whatever is giving you anxiety, a person or a place, remove yourself from them/it. This is also sometimes the hardest one to do, because that person may be a safety net, or a friend. But when you have anxiety, it becomes very easy to be manipulated by friends because we often worry about what people think about us, and we become pleasers and do anything to keep our friendships.

I feel like pirating media that isn’t sold or offered anywhere legally anymore shouldn’t be called piracy. Girl thats archaeology

YES the Thunderbolts have a fantastic team as family dynamic, yes they are living in Avengers tower, yes history is repeating itself and 2012 tower fics are so back. BUT!

instead of "Alexei eating poptarts" or "Yelena in the vents", we must come up with new headcanons and make history

Bob always does normal domestic chores, often getting in the way of important missions and spy business. "All I'm saying is Bucky is our best sniper" "It would be a much quieter assassination if I just slipped into the condo and cut his—" "Hey sorry guys, anyone have laundry? I'm doing a load"

Yelena and her guinea pig always eat meals together at the dining table. Everyone has their Chinese food or barbeque, meanwhile the rodent is loudly munching on a salad right beside them

Bucky is the mom and always keeps them on track. "Ava you have a dentist appointment in the morning, and bring Bob so they can add him to the insurance. Lena how was therapy? Alexei, I said no vodka until dinner"

Alexei is always coming up with new promotional ideas for the team. Cartoon tv show, cereal, toothpaste flavour...every day he thinks he's come up with the next big thing. Whenever they actually get put into production (Wheaties) he collects and saves it, and won't let anyone use a different product. (He threw out Yelena's frosted flakes and it took both Bucky and John to get her to stop attacking him)

Ava likes to phase and sneak attack her teammates at random. She claims it's for training but really she just thinks it's funny hearing them scream

John gets blamed for everything, even if it isn't his fault. Especially if it isn't his fault: "who ate the last bagel?" "John." "Where's my hair straightener?" "John had it." "Whose turn is it to unload the dishwasher?" "Johnnnn"

Anakin and Padme Modern AU Headcanons [Does this one have a happier ending?]

The modern AU ends nicer because I want it to. Andbecause there’s no Jedi and no slavery and no Force.

they meet at college

Padme is the political science major from a rich, respected family that’s hoping for a career in politics and is involved in all sorts of activity at the college

Anakin is the engineering major from the bad part of town who only got in through a stipendia and also works a lot to support his mother

they don’t really get each other at first

then Padme organizes a rally against a law that would push down the minimum wage

Anakin, who through his mother has always been very aware of social justice problems, and has seen his mother work at minimum wage joins in

he makes multpile wry suggestions as to how to maybe make it more accesible for people who don’t study at college

Padme is very confused and also a bit pissed about this, because really, it’s supposed to be college rally

Anakin points out that the people who will suffer most if the minimum wage is pushed down are those who couldn’t go to college in the first place

Padme is suitably ashamed of herself, though she does her best not to show it

they end up organizing the rally together

it’s a huge success

Shmi comes, too, and Padme is really, really impressed by this lady who raised her son alone and also seems to have raised half the village she’s from, and also knows a ton about politics

afterwards, Anakin and Padme kinda become the go to duo for social justice rallys and things

Anakin ropes in that professor he’s known forever, Professor Kenobi, quite often

(Padme is never quite sure how Anakin met Professor Kenobi, they tell a different story every time)

Anakin developes a crush on her like, immediately

Padme doesn’t really

she’s convinced that she does not have time for dating

it’s only after like, a year that she realizes that for all intents and purposes, she and Anakin behave like a couple. He even brings her flowers sometimes!

she mentions it the next time they see each other

he just grins and asks if that means he’s allowed to kiss her

and well, that’s that

they have long, passionate discussions of social inequality and such things

Padme is an idealist, Anakin rather cynical

he never quite gets over his distrust in the governmental authorities

not in the conspiracy theorist way, but in the “they don’t care about the poorer people” way

it’s not like he’s that wrong, really

Padme’s family does not approve of Anakin. At all

Shmi likes Padme, though

Luke and Leia are still kinda an accident, born a year after Padme graduated and while Anakin is still in college

they get a shotgun wedding after that
