Hey! I Am Trying To Motivate You 😅

you ever think about how gary and patrick are related by blood

THATSO SAD. NOOOO

GUYS I JUST HAD THE MOST SAD IDEA

WHAT IF THE REASON MEGAN WASN’T IN SEASON 3 WAS BECAUSE AFTER SHE GOT KIDNAPPED IN LEGACIES, CHIEF SNOOZE MOVED TO SOMEWHERE ELSE SAFER.

O_O

No wonder Hiro and Fred freaked out in THPPPT, they didn’t want to see another one of their friends move away. 

In ‘Lucas on the Line,’ Lucas Sinclair experienced countless bouts of racism and micro aggressions including but not limited to:

Had children run away from him and refuse to touch him because they thought his Black skin color would rub off on them. This happened IN THE THIRD GRADE! And he never told his parents about it!

Calmed his anxiety about being the only Black kid in his homeroom class by coming to the realization that since there was no other Black kids that meant he most likely wouldn’t be bombed

Had to install a camera in his locker because his property got defaced by a glitter bomb

Lost his first and only black friend/mentor who supported him thanks to an ACTUAL MAKESHIFT BOMB being installed in his locker that caused a janitor to go to the hospital for 1st/2nd degree burns (and the white boy who did it barely got punished)

Got teased that the only reason he got on the basketball team was because he was Black

Comes to the realization that he might’ve actually only gotten in the team because the coach has a history of recruiting Black boys for the team regardless of their skill level

Gets called an Oreo (for uneducated: white on the inside, black on the outside) by racist bullies. Erica (who apparently has also been called this) sticks up for him and is the only one who understands what the insult means which means Mike and Dustin don’t know/understand the lengths of how deep the racism Lucas experiences in Hawkins on a daily bases

And these aren’t even all of them! These are just examples I had from the top of my head!

And despite all this happening in the book, “fans” have STILL FOUND A WAY to turn this book about Lucas and his struggles as a Black boy in a mostly white suburban town and his deteriorating relationship with Max and make it about Byler!

The fact that Lucas, one of the only characters of color on this show, can’t have ANYTHING to himself without people using him to push their ships is so aggravating!

He and Erica constantly get shit talked and miss characterized by fans, get excluded/cut out of group shots, and barely get any fanart/fics about them and their struggles compared to the white characters (I could make a whole new post about the terrible way this fandom treats Erica but I won’t do that here). Hell don’t forget that the fandom constantly tries to dispute the racism Lucas received in S2 from Billy was either not really racism, just a moment that Duffer Bros. put in to “ruin” Billy’s character and ultimately can be tossed out and ignored.

The only time I ever see Lucas get any large amount of attention is either due to 1) Lumax (but let’s be honest: 90% of the lumax tag on here isn’t even about them and has now become Elumax 2.0 and most post are people praising ElMax and then being like “oh Lucas/lumax is cute too” in the tags and that’s it). 2) people creating “parallels” of Lumax to their ship of choice (mostly Byler and Mileven) as a way to say that their ship is gonna be canon or 3) to say that he’s bisexual.

And all that is fine and whatever, ship and headcanon things to your hearts content, but if you only care about Lucas if he’s helping push you ship narrative or because you think he’s gay (to the point where some people actually read snippets of the book that talked about Lucas coming to the realization that Black boys like him can be considered attractive and only acknowledge the “queer” reading of the text and completely ignored the big race element that was the main focus), I’m sorry but, that’s not cool. The fact that 95% of the Lucas Sinclair tag isn’t about Lucas himself but white characters like Steve, Eddie, Byler says everything about how the fandom treats him.

I’m just so tired.

Lucas Sinclair deserves the same respect that the white characters get!

I leave you one of my favorite sections of the entire book: Lucas learning to become unabashedly himself:

Rant over.

Edit: in my blind rage I realized I forgot to edit out the Twitter handle. That’s completely my fault. Please don’t hate that Twitter user. I’m just coming back to fix that.

Chapter 6 and 7 have been posted!! We are experiencing some ships now!!!

Bakugan fans, I delivered on my promise. I wrote the story where Alice and Masquerade are separate people after BBB and now they're living their lives as "adopted" siblings. This is just the first chapter of at least twenty.

In season 2 instead of sticking with the other heroes, Sonja joins forces with the darkness. And instead of world historian killing mianite she kills him instead.

Sparklez still kills world historian but all the other heroes die due to sonja assistance. The final battle is between sparklez and sonja as the world starts to fall apart. Sonja expresses her frustration with the gods playing with their lives and making the champions slaves to there will. Sparklez tells her she's just become a tool for the shadows now instead.

Against the kikoku the only weapon he has that can actually match it is the bow of balance. It's a hard fought battle but sparklez manages to get a shot off and mortally wounds sonja. He's heavily wounded as well but manages to limp away. He doesn't have to time to revive dianite and has to jump through the portal alone. He turns to look back at the land of ruxomar falling apart. He started his journey her with all hish closest allies but is leaving alone. He falls back into the portal. The last thing he sees of that world is world historian reforming from the shadows a smug smile on his face. He's won

God,,,,,,

A) that would be an AWESOME storyline

B) Could you imagine the agony of seeing one of your closest friends turn on you? What would Sonja feel, causing the death of her friends? She turned against the gods because she felt they were using her and her friends and throwing them into danger with no remorse, yet her actions ended up being their demise. Sure, she willingly helped the Shadows and World Historian, but did the others ever really have a choice with the gods?

And Jordan being the only survivor, the only one to make it out of the treachery, floating alone in the void? That would rip him to pieces.

I can only imagine World Historian bringing Sonja back or making sure she doesn't die to help him get to her world- just so he can ruin it all again- with the promise of getting her friends back.

I WON’T SAY THIS AGAIN.
