I am a forest fire
and I am the fire
and I am the forest
and I am a witness watching it

not a ship edit
my two favorite television characters of all time
my two californians who were completely misunderstood by their showrunners, used mostly as plot devices, and unnecessarily k*lled off in their s3 finales just when they started to get their shit together
I started to realize how many parallels they had this week (parents who failed them in different ways, substance abuse issues, self-destructive tendencies, general teen angst, worn down by the world, etc) and this edit happened in about 2 hours. feels very personal but maybe someone else will enjoy it or at least find it interesting?
god I just wanted them to LIVE, to get out of hawkins/newport, to grow, to learn from their mistakes, to have a damn chance... I'm forever bitter

I’m completely obsessed with this😍

[@xbreathofmadness]

i've never watched a single second of the oc in my life... but this made me feel things 😔💔 beautiful work, as always!

[@neverendingdreamx5866]

this is so amazing 🥰

[@Anne_fka_XATM038x]

I love this!!!! I haven't watched the OC and the newer seasons of Stranger Things, but... I kinda feel like these characters get killed a lot in tv shows just for the shock value and I hate it so much, I want them to have a happy ending, because it's hard enough to believe you can have a better life if you're miserable.

[@nedlovesyou]

thank you! so true-- I hate it so much too. it feels like such a lazy way of storytelling??? it's so much more rewarding imo to see characters redeem themselves, learn from their mistakes, grow, make it to the other side y'know? I'm sick of tragedies, let's bring back happy endings all the time lmao

[@Anne_fka_XATM038x]

@@nedlovesyou YES! I totally agree
