I scrolled past this pondering it’s every other stranger things season 4 recap thanks to its thumbnail. Scrolled attend up again and lastly seen the “alien” and “terraforming” key words on the title that signaled it wasn’t about stranger things. 😂Now pondering attend, I potentially missed varied titles because I take care of skipping the stranger things thumbnail on varied recap videos from varied channels. 😅
This man spent six years wasting time on a fucking practice damage. Appropriate for her to damage him. Wow
