iamhalsey: It’s become very clear to me that some of you need to see what I’ve seen. Please swipe through this. These pictures and videos don’t even scratch the surface. It’s easy from the comfort of your home to watch looting and rioting on television and condone the violent measures being taken by forces. But what you don’t see is innocent peaceful protestors being shot at and tear gassed and physically assaulted relentlessly. You think it’s not happening, it’s only the “thugs” and the “riots”, right? The police are keeping you safe right? You’re wrong. This is happening everywhere. And innocent people exercising their rights to speech and assembly are facing violence and abuse of power. With all of our medical professionals being CONSUMED and EXHAUSTED with Covid, there is little to no medical attention available. I have first hand treated men women and children who have been shot in the chest, the face, the back. Some will lose vision some have lost fingers. I have been covered in innocent blood. My father is a black man. My mother is an EMT. This week I had to put those two associations together in ways that have horrified me. This is NOT a virtue signaling post. But I HAVE to show you what I am witnessing with my own eyes. With Trump’s decision today to enforce the mobilization of armed forces on our own citizens, this has escalated beyond your privilege and comfort to not care. Please care. We are begging you to care. This is war on Americans. This is everyone’s problem. Everyone’s. #BLACKLIVESMATTER
unpopular opinion: especially in this fandom, we all need to remember to draw a line between liking an actor/actress as a fan and delving into their personal lives, especially romantically. regardless of celebrity status, everyone deserves privacy and we need to show respect towards their dating lives in addition to those they may choose to date. it is also important that we don’t ship real people with other real people because they are not characters to be toyed with, they are real people who deserve to be treated as such. at the end of the day, who celebrities choose to date or not date should not play a role in our lives, and we should instead choose to focus on appreciating their work and liking them as a person - from a safe, respectful distance.

i'm desperate to collect those tears and never let them touch the ground i swear i l o v e him
beyond sadness at lynch's death i'm also pretty pissed because he had been trying to get another project done in the years before his passing and netflix and others didn't want to finance it. john waters is the same age as lynch and his latest project was also canned because he couldn't find the money for it. others like scorsese have been luckier but they're also struggling to get their work made. and meanwhile there's more slop coming out every year. it just feels bleak. there won't be another lynch in part because the current system isn't allowing artists like that to exist, now less than ever
Machine Gun Kelly and ModSun were spotted in West Hollywood. Craig’s Restaurant opened last night for the first time since the lockdown for limited sit-in dining.
eddie definitely calls steve ‘pretty boy’ one day out of the blue before they start dating and steve just pauses, points to himself, and repeats “pretty boy?” hesitantly and in his mind he’s like freaking the fuck out because steve ‘bisexual panic’ harrington did NOT expect a man to so openly call him pretty, especially not eddie munson.
but eddie would just smile and nod, replying with a firm, “the one and only.” because he is a fucking SAP.
god i am weak for this man if anything happens to him i’m going to take a walk into a national park and never be seen again

ok so the original post got WAY more attention than i thought it would (here's a quick little screenshot of said post in case some of y'all don't know what i'm talking about)
SO, here's the deal. i'll write the st4 rewrite if and only if one or two of the following happens:
mike monologuing to eleven about how much he loves her and literally everything that was pointing to byler in vol 1 is completely thrown out of the window.
someone dies. in the main gang at least. this could be eddie, robin (i will actually cry if she dies they can't fucking do that), max, etc. you know what i mean.
will doesn't get his coming out scene. or his sexuality isn't talked about with anyone and it's kicked under the rug with the whole “up for interpretation” crap again.
what i'll include in the rewrite if any of those happen:
mike's struggles with his repressed emotions and sexuality. a deeper insight into his thoughts a little further down the line. byler endgame and a mutual milkvan breakup.
nobody dies. that's it. nobody dies in the main gang they're all safe.
will gets his coming out scene. with jonathan specifically because i'm a sucker for that. and then he gets one with mike towards the end too, which follows in mike admitting the truth about his own sexuality.
robin and nancy also get together. so do steve and eddie. and also jonathan and argyle cuz, yeah. lumax remains how it is because they're literally the only stable canon relationship atm. and eleven finally gets to stand on her own two feet. oh and jopper is alright too. I'm not saying i'm terrified something will happen to them in vol 2 but. i am.
