me and the other 12 jonathan stans the only happy ones- and they were all saying he was dying, look at us now, happy with our little lesbian film student, really beautiful if you ask me

I have always related with Mike, who I interpreted as being repressed and having internalized homophobia. I know that Will supposedly has a happy ending and gets acceptance and happiness or whatever Mike says, even if they went about it in a shitty way... Somehow, as a closeted queer person, Will was never the one I related to. It was always Mike. All the finale has told me is that this is what's in store for me.

gonna be thinking about mike wheeler’s ending for the rest of my life… he haunts my narrative 

[whoa-axel-chill]

Everyone who theorized about byler needs to write their own show. Like. Actually. I'm dead serious. Every single fucking one of you has proved you can come up with a better story than the writers of one of the biggest most popular shows currently. So go. Go write something better. For the love of everything, please.

tragic day for Mike Wheeler kins, understanders, defenders & lovers.

they remain one of this season’s saving graces

i honestly think byler stands as one of the most blatant cases of queerbaiting the industry has produced in the last decade. and i don’t say that lightly. this isn’t a case of fans “reading too much into it” or projecting subtext where none exists. this is a case where the text itself deliberately builds a queer emotional arc, frames it with all the cinematic language of a romantic storyline, and then cannibalises that arc to reinforce a straight couple that was already structurally unstable.

they took a queer character’s feelings, his longing, his emotional labour, his narrative vulnerability, and used them as scaffolding for a relationship he isn’t even part of. they lifted will’s emotional beats, his confessions, his heartbreak, and simply stamped el’s name on top like it was an interchangeable sticker. from a craft perspective, it’s not just sloppy; it’s narratively unethical. it treats queer interiority as a tool rather than a story. it treats a queer character’s pain as a convenient emotional engine for a heterosexual romance that couldn’t sustain itself on its own terms.

and the thing is, this isn’t subtle. it’s not buried in symbolism or blink and you’ll miss it gestures. it’s right there in the blocking, the framing, the colour theory, the dialogue, the emotional pacing. it’s the kind of thing you’d pause in a lecture hall and say, “okay, class, here’s what happens when a show wants the cultural capital of queer representation without committing to the narrative responsibility of actually following through.”

it’s genuinely one of the worst cases of queerbaiting i’ve seen in mainstream tv, not because the queerness wasn’t explicit, but because it was explicit, and then it was repurposed to prop up a straight romance that the writers were too afraid to let fail on its own merits

if you told 2022 me how badly they fumbled season 5 she genuinely would have thrown up

[alienstardustt]

well then

European time zone sucks so goodnight byler nation I’ll see you on the other side 🫡 (when you guys would’ve all seen it already💔)

Byler and the analysis of it literally lead me to study a film course and a media course for 2 years so within my time in byler nation I have gained 2 qualifications bc of my passion for it which I think is pretty insane

Love all you guys you’re all so creative and smart these last 4 years have been so fantastic so no matter the outcome I will never leave byler tumblr this place is amazing 💙💛

[ch-cherrylady]

I’m actually shaking and shivering like a withdrawal victim omg I’m scared

[sillygooseflopsss]

Virtually holding all y’all’s hands rn. We can do this no matter what.

We are literally this fandom’s strongest soldiers—the last five seasons of being called delusional proves that.

Honestly now that we’re at the end I don’t really know what to say to you guys but that you all are absolutely amazing and I could go on and on about what an experience being in this community has been for me. I obviously won’t get into it but in a way, I feel like this ship (and you guys!) have saved me.

All I have to say is, stay on the bus, stay in line, and STAY WOKE BESTIES

[sillybrunettte]

i’m so freaking scared.

[alienstardustt]

HAS ANYONE ELSE SEEN THE REVIEWS FOR EP 8 ON IMDB???? TWO PEOPLE RANDOMLY PUT WHEN BLUE MEETS YELLOW IN THE WEST I am so so scared rn

[strangerlesbians]

"life has been ... so unfair to you." *shows will byers*

[alienstardustt]

the stress from this fucking wait to see if byler is canon after 4 years is actually making me feel ill I’m in fight or flight mode and literally cannot eat anything I just keep rocking back and forth going I’m so fucking scared

[sufferingfrommoodpoisoning]
