Proteggere il Vostro Cuore @artista-e-dolci - Tumblr Blog

saw someone say that us byler shippers are only disappointed because we fetishize the idea of two men kissing?? Im actually so done because if that’s truly what you think about that part of the fandom then I’m sorry but I don’t think stranger things was ever supposed to be for you to begin with

suffer brothers i will NEVER fucking forgive you for turning my highly-relatable comfort character from my decade long hyperfixation comfort show into the very nightmare of forced conformity us outcasts are trying to escape from.

ive never been more depressed after finishing a show, you really couldnt give my favorite character a happy ending

mike and hopper parallels and mike thinks that hes the curse im gonna kms

"mike the brave" staying a coward until the very end how noble duffers great job you wrote a tragic queer character who ends up ridden with guilt, grief, ptsd and yearning for love with no comfort or support really well done, finn wolfhard im so sorry that this keeps happening to you king

I can’t believe duffers’ messages were: “if you’ve been abused, kill yourself to save other people” and “If you feel unlovable it’s because you are and you should stop hoping for something better,” and this is the work they praised themselves for. If I came up with some shit like this I’d never show my face in public again

since we’re talking about conformitygate as a thing, you know what this reminded me of?

camazotz.

the way everyone is sitting the same and behaving the same and conforming the same. conformity is how our heroes lost. stranger things finale wasn’t a happy ending, or it wasn’t the ending at all.

redshoes-blues

“Forced conformity, that’s what’s killing the kids!” And the traumatized, abused, neurodivergent girl main character for this show who has never had a chance to live a happy “normal” life decides to kill herself. I don’t care if she may or may not be alive. It’s ambiguous. Our final scene with El before Mike’s imagination kicked in was her telling Mike she was going to kill herself. That’s frankly a disgusting message to send in any show, let alone a show which has marketed itself as being about misfits, outcasts, and people society deems to be freaks. I still can’t believe they wrote this. It’s so horrible and beyond tone deaf. How was this written by the same people who wrote Max’s story?

when i pull up to the character assassination contest but mike wheeler is already there

mindflamer

the duffers calling bylers "noise" and they always intended for will's storyline to be unrequited FUCK ALL THE WAY OFF

The finale was so bad that Byler not being endgame is not even what pisses me off the most. In fact, I was prepared for there being a chance that Byler wouldn’t be endgame. I was prepared.

I wasn’t prepared for the finale as a whole to be this bad. It was dry, basic and boring. I was watching the final battle and I was so so bored. After it was over, I skim watched the Mlvn scene and epilogue because I couldn’t sit through that shit anymore. I was too mad.

I don’t really know how they fumbled the bag this badly. All the fan theories I’ve seen are better than this ending. Honestly, this ending was a nothingburger. It doesn’t even feel real because it was that bad.

rip the mike we collectively made up in our heads i guess. you were a better character than the mike we really got, in the end.

ok so mike IS just badly written. ok. yeah I'm not upset that my favourite character doesn't make sense

eeriesilkworm

I'm... so confused?

What was the purpose of the scene about queer signals, if Will was never going to receive queer signals? Why was the question concerned with the obviousness of signals, and not the mere presence of them? Why use the term "shared looks" when that was a known call and response on set for Noah and Finn?

What was the meaning of the snowball and avalanche metaphor? Why include that scene at all? Where was the payoff?

You're going to write an entire meta scene on queer signals of attraction, include examples that we have already observed, indicate an eventual pay off... and not let it pay off? Why? To be malicious?

You tell the audience through Will that Mike was just his Tammy this entire time and expect us to believe it? Was Tammy in Robin's video tape? Did Robin know Tammy since she was five? Did Tammy run after her in the rain or recognize her breathing over the radio?

And Will Byers never got kissed. Will Byers witnessed queer love, queer joy, and queer intimacy through a kiss at the beginning of the season, wanting that for himself because he's a romantic... and never even got kissed. Not even by his epilogue boyfriend.

Actually I kinda loved all of stranger things: i really didn’t think it was as bad as some people say even as a byler.

Howeeeverrrrr my favorite character is the worst written man of all time im so disappointed

idkwhat2dowiththis

The way that this fandom made this show 100x more interesting and intelligent than it actually was HAHAHAHAHA We really gave them too much credit, didn't we?
