I would like to point out that this moment right here is so cleverly put and genuinely beautiful that it could work for everything people want and need to take from it.
I legitimately cried, because I didn’t only see how a healthy and respectful relationship should work, I also saw a beautiful and respectful way to legitimate and support asexuality, which is something I’ve never seen in a show, especially related to a same sex couple (a lesbian one nonetheless).
As an ace lesbian this means the world to me, because I always have to deal with over-sexualized characters and stories, and though I’m kinda used to it by now, it still bothers me, because I just wish people understood that not everything revolves around sex, and that you can be in a healthy and happy relationship regardless of it involving sex or not, as long as you really love each other.
I don’t want things to change. So, I think maybe that’s why I came in here, to try to maybe… stop that change. To turn back the clock. To make things go back to how they were. But I know that’s naive. It’s just… not how life works. It’s moving. Always moving, whether you like it or not. STRANGERTHINGS3(2016—) creators Matt Duffer & Ross Duffer
before captain marvel i never quite realised how toxic the concept of “prove it” is. if you like something that’s generally a “boy’s club” you are asked to prove your knowledge about it and in a way prove if you’re worthy to have it or not. if you just enjoy the thing you might not know everything about it and then you’re fake. if you say you could do something you’re asked to prove it no matter what and if you don’t you can’t do it.
the only person you ever have to prove anything to is yourself.
