The Only Times I Will Write A Ronance Established Relationship Is If It's A Hurt/no Comfort As Well,,,

So, I finally got around to watching Adolescence on Netflix and now I see why the manosphere is in full on damage control mode. This show did its research and did SO MANY things right because of it.

Firstly, they didn't have Jamie cartoonishly espousing his beliefs like a cartoon supervillain, because they did their research, and knew these boys are being carefully taught by the adults in the manosphere to hide their power level. They showed the full reality of what Jamie had become under the tutelage of the manosphere by letting their teachings silently guide his actions.

Second, they almost completely removed Katie from the conversation. That was so important because men would have jumped all over that to devalue the messaging by calling it another piece of feminist trash centered around women. Men were center stage in this, portrayed in respectful honesty, flaws and all.

Jamie's dad was legitimately an alright dude, but he had his family walking on eggshells with those tantrums of his, and I imagine the truth of that was such an uncomfortable but necessary glimpse in the mirror for men. My brother has never laid hands on a woman in his life either, but he has that same inability to emotionally regulate when he gets angry, and I think it was important for men to see what it looks like for the people around them to deal with. By centering the male experience in an honest way, in making a piece of media men might not completely dismiss outright, they get to see what they look from the point of a spectator's view, and that's so goddamned important.

Third, they left a lot of stuff about the Red Pill confusing and vague. This is going to spur parents to do more research, which is so fucking necessary, and it's going to keep the manosphere from saying, "Well, this and this and this is completely misconstrued." This is important because if we want legislation passed to protect young people from the Manosphere, we need to focus on the long term damage over time done to the psyche, on the actual damage they're doing to young boys, rather than focus on criticizing rhetoric they've got meticulously built dialog trees to defend. We need to build a case that the Manosphere is full of predators absolutely breaking the psyches of young boys for money.

Something I need people to understand is the Manosphere would crumble without adolescent views. If any of them go to meet-ups, you can see pictures with their fans, and they're just awash in a sea of tween and teen boys. It's fucking horrifying. We would do damage this pipeline would never recover from if we remove their access to children.

RONANCE + HEIGHT DIFF SHOTS Chapter 5: The Nina Project [+]

Might be a hot take, but I don't like Nancy and Robin bonding and falling in love because of shared trauma. I don't like Nancy falling for Robin because Jonathan hasn't been there when she shot Vecna or when the vines got her, but Robin was. I don't like Robin falling for Nancy because she's the only one who understands her experiences with the upside down, or vice versa.

I like them hanging out and finding out each other's quirks and slowly falling for each other, realizing that the feelings they're feeling isn't friendship. I want them both ranting to Steve about one another. I want Nancy to look at Robin and realize how weird she is, and that's why she loves her. I want Robin to think Nancy's straight, I want Nancy to think she's straight too and for her feelings to be confusing. I want them dancing in the rain. I want them getting drunk with Steve and Eddie, and being the only ones left awake, talking about shared interests. I want them to show each other their respective music and movie tastes. I want them to, despite the upside down, have a normal romance.

Because, after a rewatch, has Nancy truly been in love with anyone outside of the bonds she's made through traumatic events?

I think it'd be cute that Jonathan knows David Bowie's music better, while Robin's more of an enthusiast of his movies

See, ok, I'm having a bit of a problem here. I have a fruity four!New Girl AU I've been meaning to write, the first chapter has been out and about for a year now and I really want to continue it, but it just isn't coming to me.

So I've been thinking of making it a podcast/podfic sort of thing? Imagine Surviving Hawkins, but with my story, essentially. I know for a fact that a script format would be easier for me while writing it and I have been meaning to get back into audio editing.

I’m so serious when I say Nancy would love Chappell Roan

ROBIN BUCKLEY & NANCY WHEELER 4.03 | Chapter Three: The Monster and the Superhero

i think teleportation should be common and accessible so my friends can show up whenever for a little chat

The urge to write a priest!Robin x widow!Nancy AU where Nancy falls in love with Robin and then starts persuing her, but since Robin's a priest she can't be with Nancy-

I've been trying to make an intro for this account for a month now and at this point I'm giving up. Here's a rundown of what you'll see on this account in the most bare bones way.

Hi, I'm Robin, I'm a 21 year old writer from Croatia. My ask box is always open and my anons are always on, I am a tag friendly account. I'm a fanfic writer, a beta reader and a soon-to-be podficcer. Some of my works can be found on my AO3.

Fandoms that I am in vary, as you will most likely see from my reblogs, but I write for/post about Stranger Things, Avatar (2009), Poppy Playtime, Our Flag Means Death, Criminal Minds, The Haunting Of Hill House, Midnight Mass, The Fall of The House of Usher & some sitcoms. I also reblog poetry, classic literature, Hellaverse, Arcane & Epic The Musical.

I analyse media that I consume, this blog will most likely have some of my thoughts and critiques of said media. You're free to disagree with me in my inbox and I most likely will reply to have a discussion. Said discussion will be civil on both ends, no Ad hominem.

Do not interact with me if you are younger than 13, anti-lgbtq+, xenophobic, racist, a terf (trans-exclusionary radical feminist), an MAP (minor attracted person), an endosystem or are proendo, ableist, or are here just to argue with me on these topics. I'm too tired for that.

My completed works are:

it seemed like a nice neighborhood to have bad habits in || Stranger Things || Ronance || E ||denial of feelings, getting together, first time

My current WIPS are:

Who's That Girl? || Stranger Things || Ronance, Steddie, Chrickie || T || Roommate & Modern AU, Slice-of-Life, Inspired by New Girl

Hope you enjoy my blog! (Edited on 05/15/2025)
