Murray Bauman - Tumblr Posts
Murray should sit all characters down together in s5 to have a therapy session in which they share what would make them vulnerable towards Vecna as an effort to strengthen themselves and form a support group they can rely on without secrets. We get to see what each character is ashamed of.
Murray, of course, feels guilt for not having been able to save Alexei.
Hopper blames himself about Sarah, we know that.
Joyce blames herself for staying with Lonnie for too long and forcing Jonathan to take a parent/provider role.
Jonathan still blames himself for not being there the night Will went missing, and believes he isn't doing a good enough job at protecting his family. He's also worried about college.
Nancy still blames herself for what happened to Barb, and doesn't think she has been a good older sister for Mike.
Dustin wasn't able to save Eddie, and had to see him sacrifice himself and die in his arms.
Lucas, Steve, and El blame themselves for not being able to save Max. Additionally, Steve feels guilty for not having been able to help Eddie because he knows how much he meant to Dustin.
Will is obviously ashamed of his sexuality, perhaps Robin as well. Maybe it is now that he comes out to the party/the whole cast, or perhaps some of them hr already told. Regardless, he finds support in them.
Mike is last, and he says that he feels guilty about the way he has treated everyone in the past months, especially El (and Will). But what he doesn't say is that what he truly feels guilty for is being in love with Will.
This group heart to heart provided all of them with a sort of shield against Vecna, since it shifts up a bit of the shame and blame. However, since Mike lied about his true feelings, he is left vulnerable and Vecna targets him.
We now get to see Byler through Mike's eyes. We see scenes such as Mike biking home in the rain after they found Will's body in the quarry, Mike and Will holding hands in the hospital in s2, the van scene... all from a perspective we hadn't had access to yet. Most importantly, we get the infamous 'It's not my fault you don't like girls!', but when the camera pans, it's not Mike saying it, it's Will.
Alexeiโs first meeting with Murray
When two sassy people meet
Alexei did not deserve to die, he was too precious
Lol
some stranger things as textposts to lighten the mood
y'all know the real reason Murray HAD TO go with Joyce to rescue Hopper? no, not bc of his russian speaking abilities. because otherwise Murray would clock Ronance and Steddie so fast he'd majorly fuck up the Duffer brothers' dumb six little nuggets plan
he's done it twice already (jonancy and jopper) and you know he would happily grumpily do it twice more
So like.... am I the only one who wants to get eiffel towered by these two?

So I just finished Stranger Things Season 3 and, of course, I have a great many thoughts and feelings and a great deal of angst but for now I just want to say...
New BroTP: AlexeRay (or MurLexei?)--the grumpy, cynical conspiracy theorist paranoid about Russians and his cheerful, bubbly covert Russian scientist bestie. Or, when what you fear the most becomes your best friend.ย
BroTP or OTP, theyโre adorable together and this is super cute art. Fairs and fireworks make for such pretty backgrounds <3
I guess I could maybe get behind them as a couple... As long as theyโre happy.ย
I didnโt say????? Theyโre my new fav now๐
My boi Alexei deserves everything, of course his American boyfriend!!!! And cherry slurpee!!!!!!!
Netflix has discarded characters they can't exploit for memes, ships or bromances on social media. Will, Brenner, Kline, Owens and Murray may as well not exist in the Stranger Thingverse.
iโve said this once and iโm gonna say it again:
st3 promo team is committing will byers erasure.
what happens when stranger things five episode five is called the paladin and the claric and murray shows up wearing green while itโs raining what then
Murray โmy fingers are like arrows my arms like iron my feet like spearsโ Bauman you are cracking me up right now
It's accurate
i was bored so take this
+ blank if anyone wants it
Murray's gonna be pissed lmao
This scene in.... season 2 wasn't it?
Only for them to push Stancy back together?
Murray will be so disappointed.....
