About me + master post !

It's about time I introduce myself seeing as I plan to stick around <3

So hi, you can call me August :)

General: I'm an INFJ, 8w9; aries sun, capricorn moon, and leo rising; they/them; queer, nonbinary, and acespec; AuDHD; gay Mike truther; I'm 21 and am currently in uni for political science and criminal justice.

Find me on TikTok @august-shops as well and on Twitter @augustine_shops !!

I'm a fan of: Stranger Things (duh) and especially Byler (bigger duh), Heartstopper, Young Royals, Shameless, Only Murders in the Building, School Spirits, Parks and Rec, Heated Rivalry

I also loveee music, so here are some of my favorite artists: Taylor Swift, Phoebe Bridgers, beabadoobee, Lana Del Rey, Arctic Monkeys, Ethel Cain, Mazzy Star, girl in red, Chappell Roan, Lorde, Beyoncé, Remi Wolf, Clairo, + more! (so yes, a healthy mix of the pop girlies and depressed indie)

I also love MBTI types, Enneagram, astrology, and any of those kinds of things!

My posts will mostly be Byler and Stranger Things focused, as it's my largest hyperfixation, but will likely have my other interests thrown in there too <3

this was crazy

boy put those puppy eyes away

[heyimcelery]

Fellas is it gay to spend forever pleasing and marking your gay bestie by covering with an absurd amount of hickies just because your two other friends called him innocent and that upset him (he's not innocent with you (you feel very smug about that))

i rlly despise shows that insult my intelligence

[bylerworld]

good morning byler nation just wanted to remind y'all that mike would've explored because of course he would

[queen-of-hawkins-why-ler]

The D*ffers treated Robin and her queerness and her relationship with Vickie as a prop and a means to an end, the same way they did with Byler in s4. The only reason Robin and Vickie kissed and the only reason their relationship got “developed” was directly in service to help Will process his feelings. There’s a reason Will and Robin’s relationship kind of rubbed me the wrong way (even tho I love them don’t get me wrong), and it’s because these weren’t two queer people’s storylines being written alongside each other. This was a lesbian and her lesbian relationship being used as a plot device to help a gay man work through his identity. Robin deserved her own lesbian storyline and relationship that didn’t merely serve to prop up the Mike and Will storyline.

Season 5 mike: "El, I miss Will. El go get Will back"
