Another shot of that catalpa at the park. Despite a bad storm last fall that knocked off several branches and park maintenance that spray loads of herbicide on its roots, still she persists.

[Matt: What are your favorite GM snacks?]
Brennan:
"Let me be clear. This was put into this fucking questionnaire to come for me. And I'm going to explain something. If you're at home and you're afraid to tell your gaming group that you're a snacker, I've got your back, okay? Because it's okay to fucking snack, all right? When you're out there--some of us SWEAT from the MOMENT we wake up to the moment we go to sleep. Some of our boooddiiess are betraying us constantly. Would I have chosen this paper white, fur covered, constantly sweating body? No! I wouldn't have. Does it require constant almonds? YES. Almonds all the time, okay? And I'm not going to apologize because these two fucking elevated beings, these two hovering (what are the pre-Skeksis, pre-mystic light beings from the Dark Crystal?)--YOU TWO! SOME OF US ARE POD PEOPLE, OKAY? I'm a little PODDLING. And I need to snack! If I could have another MOUTH in my back so that I could--the BIGGEST obstacle in my GM-ing, ALL RIGHT, is that the same place I talk from is where the food needs to go!"
[Matt: well we know what to get him for christmas]
"A mouth in my back! So that I can have a friend shoveling SALAMI into an open furnace in my torso while I narrate. AND I'M NOT SORRY. I LIKE TO SNACK.
.......
To answer your question, almonds."
so we all agree "mike wheeler is the heart of the group" is bullshit, right?
we all agree that it is will byers instead right?
in season 1, everyone banded together (and found el) to find will.
in season 2, will was more than happy about max joining the party. but guess who wasn't? mike wheeler.
in season 2, everyone worked together to help will.
in season 3, mike was literally going away from his friend group to make out with el at all given times.
in season 3, we saw will being the only one who stayed till the very end when dustin returned because he missed his friend.
in season 3, will just wanted all of his friends to spend time TOGETHER (because let's be real, will would've been so happy just doing whatever, not only d&d, as long as all six of them were together. just look at how excited he was when they all were about to leave for the hill)
in season 3, will let go of his very rightful anger towards his friends who kept ignoring what he had to say, because he thinks it's for the betterment of the group.
in season 3, will is even willing to let go of his own interests (playing D&D) if it meant his friends would still spend time with him whenever he returned to hawkins next.
in season 4, max, lucas, dustin and mike are literally falling apart because they're all too into their heads (and i don't really blame them here - especially not lucas and max). mike and dustin weren't even that supportive of lucas joining basketball when his reasons of doing so were extremely valid.
in season 4, mike is quite literally having relationship problems with el by not being able to say "i love you" (and the confession scene doesn't seem to have done much either because why is el still not talking to him at the end?)
in season 4, will brushes aside his own feelings for mike and instead focuses on helping mike and el get back together because he loves them both dearly and he just wants to see them happy together.
in season 4, mike only really confesses after will byers pushes him to. shouldn't it have been mike's instinct which "really kicked in" when he sees his loved one is in danger?
will byers is the heart of the group and fuck whoever wrote those scenes because you don't even know your characters at this point.
“Many people seem to think it is foolish, even superstitious, to believe the world could still change for the better. And it is true that in winter is still sometimes so bitingly cold that one is tempted to say ‘What do I care if there is a summer, its warmth is no help to me now’. Yes, evil often seems to surpass good. But then, in spite of us, and without our permission, there comes at last an end to the bitter frosts. One morning the wind turns, and there is a thaw. And so I must still have hope.”
— Vincent Van Gogh
