i’ve come to a conclusion
Because I cope with my Beatles feelings by collecting and organizing quotes in a big ass spreadsheet and I may as well post them here divided up by topic:
Quotes from each member divided by year, showing it was never so cut and dry that Paul always wanted to stay in the Beatles and John/George always wanted out
Internalized homophobia, intentionally spreading rumours about being gay + people thinking he was joking (John Lennon invented queerbaiting in 1963 did you know?), revealing comments from John and others about his sexuality, replacing Paul with Yoko, jealousy over Paul, flirting with Paul
The ramifications of Yesterday, a fear of abandonment, ego death, and having a relentlessly productive, competitive soulmate
"Yeah, I was lying" [laughs]
The extent to and ways in which John claimed Paul hurt him and Paul's struggle to understand wtf happened
Paul understands the importance of public relations and affectionately straightening ties
Only Beatles can talk shit about Beatles
WHO KNOWS, YOKO?
Shit where you're like "I can't believe that actually happened??" Often not in a good way
Those John and Paul moments ... (Ready, Steady, Go rehearsals, 1963, full video here)
Neil Gaiman having a tumblr blog (especially after GO s2) feels like the equivalent of ao3 authors advertising their blogs in the notes after the most heart-wrenching fic you have read in your life.
Hyperfixate on some Freak Shit.
so true
Part 5 less go
did anyone else notice that the closer yellow gets to discovering lesley, the more the clump starts to become more independent?? like, the whole theme of dhmis is like ‘it’s a kid’s show but with gore and it’s disturbing’ and so they all follow these norms. but, even before smart yellow shows up and starts questioning everything, we see some freedom in the characters.
in ep4 red outright states that the clump lives in a nightmare and he says that he hates the house in ep5, when he tries to leave. in ep6 they seem a little conforming, but both duck and red guy swear (breaking disturbing kid’s show rules) and, of course, the “i like looking at you scene”. (i think the romance in this show is another example of independence and breaking free of their norms so them glancing at each other in the transport episode during the song 100% counts)
thank you for coming to my tedtalk
another stranger things take because i am not normal about this show:
THE DUFFERS HAVE BEEN SETTING UP BYLER SINCE S1.
everything, down to costumes and music, is carefully put together. it is ALL on purpose. all this evidence that we’ve been finding is there on purpose.
karen’s queer-coded talk to mike in s1? on purpose. mike’s constant closet imagery? on purpose. mike and will’s costuming correlating to each other especially in s4 with the green, blue, and yellow? on purpose. all of it is completely intentional.
in s5, we are going to get requited byler. i am sure of it.
YES!!! and then he sees why joyce likes him so much and trusts him around will and maybe mike will finally get a proper father figure in his life
i love the ‘hopper is okay with will being gay and dating a guy but hates that it’s mike’ trope but the better trope is ‘hopper is okay with will being gay and dating a guy but hates that it’s mike until he sees this total change in mike’. unlike how mike was with el, mike and will are not constantly making out and sneaking off to suck face somewhere. instead, they talk, draw together, actually DO things together instead of just kissing which was what hopper solely saw el and mike doing. he notes that mike seems happier and more like himself and that he makes will happy and he treats him with respect and love. then he starts to like mike a little bit.
all in all, i think that hopper’s problem with mike is that he knew that milkdud was super toxic and he blamed it on mike.

mike wheeler is not cisgender. mike wheeler definitely would use she/her pronouns (probably in addition to he/him)
i can not explain why and i will not. it is simply a fact.
shout out to that kid in grade 2 who tried to gaslight me into thinking that i stole my everafter high brush/key from him and that it was actually a family heirloom that belonged to his dead grandfather.
