I'm not homophobic; in fact my brother went crazy on me one time because according to him, this live and let live attitude of mine was gonna make my son gay. And how would that make me feel.
The fact that I was like "pshh" was probably not the response he was waiting on. He's not a bad person; just operating from a place of fear.
That said.
Twitter is full of some crazy homos.
Yesterday there was a hashtag TRENDING WORLDWIDE about #JKRowlingIsOverParty. So I click on the link because JK is one of my all time favorites and I find that the issue is the fact that JK said Sirius isn't gay. Like people were legit incensed because Sirius Black is a straight man and JK said so.
Let's just pause for a moment and let that sink in.
I mean, if it was the other way around? If people were upset because a certain character was said to be gay? The outcry.
The scandal it would have caused.
The allegations of homophobia!
But what? Gay people are allowed to bully others because a character is straight?
Reminded me of the great #DeanWinchesterIsGay debate of 20everyseason. Never mind how many times he himself has said he doesn't swing that way...
NO!
Dean Winchester has to be gay or we won't watch!
I personally would prefer it so much more if you didn't watch. Just toddle off and try to ruin another show.
So I was practically pushed into watching +Stranger Things by twitter, +Jensen Ackles and +Jared Padalecki. I mean +BuzzFeed had a whole thread about how it changes your life and seriously this is the first series Jared has ever mentioned watching. And Jensen all like Danneel can't watch it unless I'm there....
After watching it I'm thinking Danneel was just trying to make her husband feel all manly and useful because seriously; not even a little bit scary, life changing or particularly mind blowing. I like Eleven; she brought the zuzgh to the series; but for some reason I kept expecting ET to show up. I'm old enough to have seen that when it came out, and whoever designed that universe definitely had that movie in mind. It's the last time I get peer pressured into watching anything though. I'm relying on myself from now on.

So I'm watching season two right? Crossroad Blues. And they're parked outside Lloyd's bar walking along the crossroad and Dean notices the flowers growing there. And HE stops and says "hey aren't those yarrow?"
And they have this whole discussion about how Yarrow is used in rituals, especially summoning rituals.
Flashforward to season ten, 'About a Boy' when Sam finds yarrow behind the dumpster and he's all like 'Oh look, yarrow'...and Dean acts like he doesn't know what yarrow is or what it's used for...
Is it a continuity error?
Did Dean's memory get wiped when he became a demon?
Or is it his whole 'let Sam think he's the brains of this operation' thing that he has going on?
Thoughts?
