Fucking hell wouldn't it be awesome to be one of them. I wish my childhood was like this. Do they even know they're the luckiest kids on planet earth?
Meanwhile here I am, 19 years old having accomplished squat diddly. 2 people I can call friends, 1 of which is a total normie and wouldn't understand these feels. Live with my parents in London which I fucking hate with a burning passion. Want to move to America more than anything in the world. Spent the last 5 years of my childhood/teenage years behind my computer playing the same shitty game every waking moment (Cod4 deathrun) and never going outside or socialising. About $40,000 to my name which isn't enough to just pursue my passion (although it will probably be worth a lot more in the next few years).
Anyone get this? Just thinking about it makes me unable to focus on anything else. I have uni stuff to be revising but I just can't bring myself to do it. I just want to keep watching interviews with them so I can pretend I'm one of them.
Yeah, the bants on this show reminded me that my few friends on this earth are obnoxious pieces of shit. Made me yearn to be back in 5th grade, having friends over and staying up in the darkness playing Mario Kart and drawing tits and swords in PictoChat. In fiction and in memory, protagonists' flaws are endearing. But in the moment I can only see the problems with people, and these make me want to drive them away.
How the fuck did you manage to save $40,000 playing COD all day? That's absolutely enough to get set up over here. Just bite the bullet and finish uni, and remember that once you're done you get a fresh start.

>hanging out with your friends on set, doing kid stuff >one by one, not too close together, maybe a few weeks apart, that strange producer guy shows up in the back corner of the set and you see him arguing with the duffer brothers >an assistant abruptly takes one of you away for a "meeting" >never quite the same after they come back >eventually it happens to you
Haha yeah I wish I had the ideal, picturesque life of a Hollywood Child Star! Our children are the future!

Well that one ugly kid of the gang got left out of all the injokes and fun.

It's awesome to know others feel the same user.
>staying up in the darkness playing Mario Kart God I remember these days. Years 4, 5 and 6 (Grade 3-5) were the best years of my life. Mario Kart, SSBB, Pokemon were our go-to games.
There were 3 of us that were best friends and every month one of us would host the sleepover on friday after school (me and one of them went to the same primary school in London, the other left a few years before to move out to Surrey (suburbs) but we remained best friends). We'd sneak out with all the loose change we found at our houses, buy as much junk food from the shop, hide it in one of our coats and stealthily take it all up to our room. We'd practically barricade ourselves in for the next 24 hours and play endless games of mario kart and super smash brothers brawl. We played ssbb so much that we'd mix things up and try to make it as hard as possible- the three of us would start on 300% damage, 3 lives each and try to defeat level 10 Ganondorf with 10 lives. We'd plan it meticulously. Another time we had a pokemon battle in ssbb where the only item spawned was the pokeball. We'd try to see if we could summon all pokemon in the pokedex. Mario Kart was a blast too. Then after getting sick of ssbb we'd watch studio ghibli films together (Laputa became my favourite film and still is to this day) and just talk about life n shit. Who likes who, what do we want to be when we're older etc.
At the house of the friend who lived in the suburbs, we'd do awesome stuff outside. Go on his trampoline, play ding dong ditch, coke and mentos, we'd walk to the park and do stupid shit (for 10 year olds). We thought we were so cool.
Eventually our sleepovers became multi-day sleepovers because they were so awesome.
>drawing tits and swords in PictoChat kek I have fond memories of this too. pictochat was the shit.
Haven't spoken to either of those people in 7 years now. Where has time gone?

(continued) >But in the moment I can only see the problems with people, and these make me want to drive them away Same here. I haven't made any friends in uni and I've been here for 2 months. Everyone seems to uninteresting and mundane and just generally cunty. I have good banter with my 2 current friends, and both are fairly like-minded. One is turning more normie though, which scares me. The other is pretty much like me.
>How the fuck did you manage to save $40,000 playing COD all day? I didn't. I took a gap year, worked for a few months and with some of the money I saved I invested in cryptocurrency. Value went up a shit load, and I'm optimistic it will continue.
>That's absolutely enough to get set up over here Sure, but it's not enough to live comfortably without financial worry while pursuing my real interests and seeing what I want to do with my life.
>Just bite the bullet and finish uni, and remember that once you're done you get a fresh start. Yeah that's true. These 3 years are going to be excruciatingly painful though.

i dunno im 29 and my late 80s early 90s childhood reminds me of theirs, kids this young get to be in shows about awesome childhoods, but being 19 right now means you grew up in the post 9/11 shitty millenial world (yeah i know millenials are kids from like 1980-2010 or some ridiculous shit cause the old generations think the same kids have been skateboarding on the dang sidewalk for 30 years and cant distinguish but seriously these gens have little in common with one another) basically my point is being a teenager right now means you lived during the worst era. that sucks. i mean how do you have a rebel against the man period in your life during 8 years of the first black president? its like counter intuitive.
millie being obviously death tired after japlizard shooting and still having to do stranger things promo infront of a bunch of nerds. doesn't seem that much fun to me. she hangs in with her severe case of reverse autism but a normal human bean would break or at least punch the host gay, i guess.
Hudson Diaz
This is a stupid meme. I highly doubt this shit happens anymore in hollywood than it does outside hollwyood.
Who?
Plenty of child actors have gone on to lead good lives. Considering they're all together and it's not just one kid surrounded by a load of adults as usually happens, I think they'll all be fine. They seem to have a pretty healthy relationship with one another and the duffer brothers/producer dude that's always in interviews with them are pretty laid back and chill. Atmosphere on set in general seems like a good healthy environment for a kid.

Poor kid. Reminder that hollywood is exempt from many child labor laws.

oh really? is that actually true? and also why?

Tyler Davis
watch Beyond Stranger Things. it's prettty obvious the Executive Producer is molesting those kids
Jonathan Roberts
Already watched it all. I don't think he is. Just looks like a nice guy to me. The Duffer Brothers definitely don't look like the sort to be molesting kids. They seem really chill and cool.
Daniel Green
They've all been molested a lot. All of them. Every single one. Even the black one and the gross one.
