Everyone on TGD sucks. Everyone.

TGD finally got something right. Making the environment fit Lim instead of making Lim fit the environment is absolutely the vibe. That combined with Lim's reminder to Andrews of the existence of the ADA was sublime.

Oop. Spoke too soon. I get that internalized ableism is a real and valid thing, but with so little disability representation in the media, it is harmful to have a non-disabled actor's character focus on how much the character hates being disabled.

May I remind the audience that the alternative was 25 years fewer of life?

It's official, everyone on this show sucks, and this might actually be the thing that makes me walk away?

New blog name btw.

JAMIE CAMPBELL BOWER AS HENRY CREEL/001

-“chapter seven: The Massacre at Hawkins Lab” STRANGER THINGS

Me during the presidential fitness test in the 6th grade (no I will not elaborate)

au where instead of henry getting turned into vecna its brenner because henry had the potential to be a good person and i wanna see brenner suffer

They’re not gone, Eleven.

Idk but to me henry creel gave off autistic vibes and the fact that hes the big bad doesn't fully sit well with me.

I find it really irritating how people more people are saying Vecna/Henry Creel is autistic than Robin. Vecna has barely if any symptoms of autism. Robin on the other hand does. Who has sensory issues? Robin. Issues with coordination? Robin. Intense interests on things? Robin (conspiracy theories, languages, movies, band). Social awkwardness and no filter? Robin when she's with Nancy (Ronance forever) and Vickie or when she's stressed. Issues understanding social ques? Yet again, Robin.

Just admit you see autistic people as cold and emotionless.

Hello! Autistic person here. Robin is 1000% autistic coded, but so are a lot of the stranger things characters, including, in my mind, Henry.

I see in him someone who wasn't accepted for who he was, got a lot of shit for it, including from his family who tried to take him to doctors to change him. Someone with a special interest in spiders. Someone who was trying to look out for 11.

And it pissed me the hell off when he was revealed as the villain, but because he is a friendly face for most of the season who gives an autistic-coded monologue before he reveals the part about killing everyone, I can understand why people see him as autistic-coded (in fact, I do myself), but it absolutely does not undermine Robin's autistic-coding. I just think stranger things writes a lot of autistic coded characters, and it's frusterating that the big bad is untimely one of them.

Follow up thought: I was reading someone someone tagged about the actor playing Henry Creel as a sociopath. It's still super stigmatizing for folks with ASPD/sociopathy to be portrayed in this way. In fact, having him be a sociopath (though I still think it also reads as autistic-coded) is even worse because there are no examples I'm aware of that portray this already stigmatized group of people in any way other than evil. Stigmatizing sociopathy is dangerous. So many people just want to live normal lives, even with a diagnosis of ASPD.
