Posted my first little Byler something on AO3. I hope you enjoy <3
"I’ll always be looking for you in every other boy. But none of them will ever be you."
The group chooses Stacey’s party over their DnD game. Mike is already emotionally worn down, and at the party he’s confronted with something he didn’t want to see and maybe wasn’t ready to face. The night forces buried feelings to resurface and leaves Mike unable to keep running from them.
just a reminder that you never need to “earn” the right to come out. you can be scared, you can be happy, you can be brave, you can be excited, you can be sad, you can be proud. you can feel any possible emotion about it, and every single one is valid. your journey is valid. your queerness is valid.
if you’re out to people, i’m proud of you. if you’re going to come out to people in the future, i’m proud of you. if you never come out to anybody, i’m still so fucking proud of you.
you do not need to come out to earn your queerness, or your bravery, or your own acceptance. no matter what stage of life you’re in, you deserve to feel queer joy, however that looks for you. you are perfectly valid just as you are.
i’m proud of you. i love you. give yourself a hug <3
byler should have kissed in the rain reflecting their fight by mike saying “it’s all your fault” before pulling will in and crashing their lips together pass it on
yesterday my boss (I'm an intern right now) handed me a cup with 2 euro coins in it because he wanted to spent them at the hardware store.
the cup was striped, a blue on in the middle and on both sides a yellow one.
I really need to hold myself back from interpreting to much into the colours of a cup.
will byers and mike wheeler would hate AI btw
I’m actually dih hoppin holy shit. Will i understand you fully.
EVERYBODY, PLEASE WATCH THIS YTMH(IWS) ANIMATION BY @2greenart!! I AM SO EMOTIONAL!!! 😭
(click for artist’s ig and tiktok accounts)
this is fucking fantastic
sometimes the byler depression hits me again out of nowhere. It's been MONTHS I just wanna move on 🥲
anyways I'm working on a new byler ff bcs I need to cope
'If you love my mouth, then why won't you kiss me?'

Writing villains people actually fear (and remember)
It’s not about darkness. It’s about a precise use of habits and small things, their behaviour both when acting the villain and not.
1. Give them a contradiction.
Villains are scariest when they’re almost human. It's alot harder to harm, or even kill, when you can the part of them that is kind.
“He always apologised before hurting someone.”
2. Let them think they’re right.
No moustache twirling ('mustache twirling villain' is often used as a pejorative to describe poor antagonists/bad guys, usually they in comedy) — just conviction. Their ideals and values should stem from something important to them. Doesn't have to be important or make to others, just them.
“I’m not saving the world. I’m correcting it.”
3. Give them a normal habit that becomes unsettling.
• humming off-key
• straightening objects mid-argument
• collecting people’s abandoned pens (this was something I got from primary school where I watched someone collect them and i thought it was evil they were stealing pens😭)
4. Make their kindness selective.
Kind to dogs. Cruel to friends.
Kind to children. Absent to their own.
This really adds to their character and backstory, even if you don't elaborate or tell it.
5. Make their presence change a room.
Not with theatrics — with tone.
“The laughter thinned when he stepped inside.”
Making antagonists who aren’t evil (but still hurt you emotionally)
Some of the best antagonists are just… people.
1. Give them the same goal as the hero — different methods.
Hero wants peace.
Antagonist wants peace.
Hero uses unity; antagonist uses control.
2. Let the antagonist be right sometimes.
That stings.
3. Make the hero almost agree with them.
“You’re not wrong,” she admitted. “But you’re not right either.”
4. Show glimpses of softness.
“He tucked the child’s drawing into his coat.”
5. Let them break their own rules.
Instant complexity, villains change the rules to fit their momentary desires and whims.
(Edit: ive written this up from a book that ive been filling with writing tips and tricks from classes, im putting here a few pages from it
So I get it, I need to change how I format things 😭)
Ive also read "Read This If You Want to Be a Great Writer" a book by Ross Raisin
pretty much sums up where my priorities are
(bravebyers art by kidovna!)
Option 2: Mike stopping Will from boarding the plane to New York!
will that be my next fic???
of course mike is in love with a verb not a number he’s a writer not a mathematician
wait- they might be on to sth
I sent a byler edit to my straight sister who has never watched stranger things and asked her who is canonly in love with who.
She guessed Will has feelings for Mike but she isn't sure. I asked her why. She told me "because it might be to obvious. The other guy (Mike) seems more shy and introverted and like he doesn't want anyone to know he has feelings for the other boy (Will)"
EVEN MY STRAIGHT LIKE SUPER STRAIGHT SISTER CLOCKS IT!
will byers get over here and paint ur paladin
excuse me sir
me when im a straight man, but my boy best friend is telling me how much i mean to him
me when im a straight man, but my boy best friend just saved my life using his gay powers he unlocked thinking of me
me when im a straight man, but my boy best friend just hugged me for the first time in years and whispered my name
me when im a straight man, but my boy best friend assures me that we'll be facing the horrors together
me when im a straight man, but my boy best friend is helping me get over my girlfriend who just got kidnapped by the us military
me when im a straight man, but my boy best friend flirts back for the first time ever
me when im a straight man, but my boy best friend goes along with my nerdy d&d references
me when im a straight man, but my boy best friend (who im angry at) implies that we could have a romantic relationship
me when im a straight man, but my boy best friend is just sitting right there
I love how we collectively decided that there is no way Will and Mike would ever be able to move on from each other.
