Don't Just Skip All The Posts From The Smaller Lesser Known Blogs In The Tag And Only Focus On The Bigger

Don't just skip all the posts from the smaller lesser known blogs in the tag and only focus on the bigger blogs. A lot of smaller blogs have some of the best and most interesting perspectives and they make great content. Just because they don't have thousands of followers and aren't higher up on this wack ass "Byler hierarchy" doesn't mean they aren't great blogs and they don't deserve reblogs/likes. Give them a chance.

I've just seen a lot of smaller blogs being upset recently because their posts only get a couple likes or reblogs and that's it. That doesn't seem fair considering a lot of them put in just as much effort into their content as the bigger blogs do and their posts are just as good.

Dear God

I keep forgetting I was around for so long without even posting help

With Stranger Things trending, ummmm

Reminder to not give it your time, money or attention, or at least to pirate the shit out of it

i know it doesn’t solve the bigger problem of the duffers’ treatment of poc actors/characters, but what if we made a book of fan letters for eduardo to read? like, did y’all see his lil smile when he realized people were wondering where he was in the s5 photo? this man has no idea how much he’s loved and i think we need to fix that.

i’m rewatching some Byler scenes for an edit and jesus fucking christ those boys get gayer every time i look

Now I don't think that I'm the one to write about this, but all the fics I've seen of Hobie meeting Miles' parents always feel so... light. It's either "Hobie calls Jefferson a pig to his face and Miles gets grounded" or "Hobie is surprisingly respectful and polite and Miles' parents love him"

Even when the former is done, none of the underlying issue is really addressed. It feels just like silly banter and classic "oooh, the parents don't like the new boyfriend" stuff. Guess what? There are reasons people don't like cops.

I can't stop thinking about Hobie who is polite to Miles' parents, but in an obviously stilted and forced way. Hobie who usually slinks all around a room, but lingers extra close to Miles when his dad is around. Who keeps an arm around him in a way that usually reads as affectionate, but between all the side glances he tosses Jeff it's hard not to see as protective. Who makes a point for Miles to know he's always welcome back in Hobie's dimension. Who doesn't say anything too confrontational, not while the cop in question is in a direct position of authority over someone he loves, but has one hand tensed and ready to shoot webs at a moments notice. Because Hobie is unapologetically loud about his beliefs, but knows how to stand back and be more subtle support when the consequences would spread to others (like when he was prodding Miles about the spider society)

And Jefferson wants to be pissed, he does, but more than that he wishes he didn't look at this young man and get it. That he doesn't look at the anger and protectiveness and see the fear underneath. But they'll never actually get along, because Jeff wants to help things from the inside and Hobie believes there are no good cogs in a broken system.

I've just been feeling a kind of way, seeing some cop shit happening at pride. This situation is too racially charged for me to properly in depth explore it myself, but it's something on my mind each time I read Hobie meeting the parents.
