Final thoughts

I haven't posted here for a while since that disaster of a finale but I've been disappointed, not only with the ending or that byler isn't endgame, but with the way the cast (except Maya) and everyone working on the show is treating/ addressing the queerness, byler and the obvious plot holes.

And now with THAT SNL.. yeah it's not getting better.

I'll always believe byler had potential and that Mike is queercoded, even if I'm moving on from that. Also Eleven deserved so much better and her death mocked not only victims or abuse but also survivors.

It's crazy how stranger things fandom has always mostly consisted of outcasts, queers, women..

Yet they fumbled it all and for a finale that has 92838392 plot holes. Not only that, but instead of addressing the issues with the misogyny and homophobia in the show, they either ignore or mock it. Which is straight up disrespectful considering the amount of homophobia queer fans experience in the fandom. Instead, we see cast members downplaying the gay characters' feelings (reducing his love built throughout at least 3 seasons to a hallway crush) and queer love (the duffers said that rovickie ending up together is somehow unrealistic) , mocking his coming out scene (which wasn't good but it's a fact that it was bombed by homophobes), making fun of the queer fans who shipped byler and other queer ships. Not to mention how rovickie didn't have closure like at all.. and as queer fans were supposed to be satisfied with this "representation".

I'm incredibly disappointed because the show first drew me in on season 3 because of the display of the outcasts and my admiration of Will's character and his queer experience including Robin.

All characters reduced to stereotypes at the end and some of them don't even have a proper closure or development. This season feels like a sick parody and everything said by the people working on it feels like an awful joke.

Finn when he accidentally looks at Noah's way in the finale during filming so the duffers take 500k off his pay check

THIS FUCKING VIDEO LMFAO

[alfredopasta0]

I'm not even kidding when I say I dreamed that I was watching the finale for the first time and then I woke up thinking it was a nightmare for like a few seconds...

[alfredopasta0]

The concept of the epilogue bf ,who looks like Mike, being Mike's self-insert fanfiction with Will...

Good luck Babe..

When you put the homophobic fries on the misogynistic burger with a side of lore assassination sprite.

Haven't even watched it yet but the reactions I've seen..

I bet you a hundred that I can predict every second of it.

HELLO WE'RE BACK

I knew not to come back when things were looking bleak yup.

[alfredopasta0]

Btw I'm not getting byler doubt over big accounts/sites who have never talked about s5 before posting misinformation OR misinterpreting interviews for the sake of spreading homophobia and "shutting" down byler.

This is gonna be a longgg and annoying week and I'm not gonna be here anymore until vol 2 comes out.

[alfredopasta0]

I've had about 3 dreams in a row about stranger things vol 2 and how byler could happen.

Am I losing it or is this a sign?

[alfredopasta0]

The theory of Mike getting targeted by Vecna is sooo good lawd please be true🙏🙏

Like..I love that silly boy BUT he has to suffer a little bit❤️‍🩹

[alfredopasta0]

Okay so they're definitely sending subliminal messages to us I'm ctfuuu

[alfredopasta0]

Ppl heard the words "fetishizers" and "fujoshi" and just went along with it.

I'm crine because haters have been using these terms against us while most bylers are queer themselves..😭?

The concept of queer people fetishizing queer people..

Rewatching stranger things as a whole has made me realize that they sniped Joyce's character so bad. In the first season she was undeniably a main character and she shined through. She was so interesting and complex, and her personality didn't just revolve around her relationships. While her main thing was being worried about her son, she had also multiple sides to her and they made sure to point out how strong and smart she is, despite having anxiety and losing it because of her son going missing. She also wasn't a perfect mother but she went against everything and everyone to prove that her son is coming back to her.

After season 2- ish it's like they revolved her character around her relationships (aka Hopper) and it was genuinely so annoying. I don't hate Jopper but they could've handled that part WAY better in my opinion. And she always has the same plot of "having a theory that sounds crazy and everyone thinks she's delusional but she's actually right" every season. It worked in season 1 but using it again and again is just lazy writing in my opinion. It's like they don't know what to do with her anymore and it's such a shame because she had so much potential and her performance was the highlight of season 1.

I hope we'll see more of her character again in vol 2 but I highly doubt that.

Season 3-4 scripts revealing mileven being built on Will's pain doesn't surprise me at ALL. It isn't difficult to clock this either, since mileven clearly hasn't been romantic ever since snowball in s2 (and that's also debatable).

Their breakup was used as a comedic relief in3 , they only made up at the very end (Mike was still acting weird in that scene too). Then again, in s4, they break up in a more dramatic way the moment Mike steps foot in California 😭, separated for the entire season until the finale, Mike's monologue feeling off and piggybacking off Will's words...

And s5 doesn't show a kiss and the moment they hug the camera focuses on Will (almost like that moment in s4), they have 5 mins of screentime together and are yet again separated (my guess is that they'll continue to be for the majority again).

Homophobes dropping stranger things bc of them seeing byler canon is frying me..

#WokeThings started omg we planned this..
