"The Sorcerer"

first byler kiss happening in mike’s basement would make so much sense since that’s been their safe haven and space where they could express themselves most freely since they were little kids… WHO UP K!LLING THEMSELVES

[borispvlikovsky]

#MIKE: sorry, i was just staring at you. you get more beautiful everyday— how is that fair?

[borispvlikovsky]

canon sweater paw will byers is something that can actually be so personal!!!!!

[bylerworld]

it just hit me again that "i feel like i lost you or something. does that make sense?" is just mike implicitly asking "i missed you. did you miss me too?" that's why he was so nervous 😭😭

[borispvlikovsky]

it just clicked that the first time will met el was at the snowball, meaning he had to watch the boy he's silently loved ever since he was five years old kiss this person he does not even know. up until will went missing he and mike had shared everything with each other, he suddenly had to go through literal hell, only for him to come back and find out that mike had found someone he suddenly seems to love. and there's nothing will could do about it. crawling on ceilings rn

[scapegods]

Mike is totally normal about this

[vnusplanetoflove]

just so u know everything in the entire universe is always about love and when it isn't about love it is abt the absence of love. hope this makes sense

What’s your deepest kink?

Idk. I’m a romantic. So I guess committing murder together

[metamorphesque]

When Donna Tartt said Forgive me, for all the things I did but mostly for the ones that I did not, and M. L. Rio said How tremendous the agony of unmade decisions.

[unspokengrief]

what quote/poem moved you the most when you read or heard it?

“it is a serious thing

just to be alive

on this fresh morning

in this broken world.

I beg of you,

do not walk by

without pausing

to attend to this

rather ridiculous performance.

It could mean something.

It could mean everything.

It could be what Rilke meant, when he wrote:

You must change your life.”

— Mary Oliver, from “Invitation”

I always come back to this poem. Always.

Richard Siken, A Primer for the Small Weird Loves

[sehyn]

my mom says she’s not a hugger. but when i put my arms around her on a gloomy day or after bad news she’s the last to let go. my dad says he doesn’t want gifts on his birthday, but i see the way his face light up when i get him a card with a nice message and a box full of chocolate anyway. he’s just a kid inside, still. it makes him giddy. my brother never says i love you. but when i tell him “i just need to finish the dishes before i vacuum!” he wordlessly goes to vacuum the entire house before i can, and if he sees me struggle with a wrapper or a jar or a bottle he mutters ‘c’mere’ and opens it for me without even sparing me a glance. the thing is, people love you quietly, and you love them quietly, and the air is buzzing with tiny but grand gestures & once you look for them, you find them everywhere. i think that’s really beautiful.

The fact that anger is a secondary emotion… that its source is grief… how tragic and poetic

[stlowens]

Sylvia Plath, from “Elm.”
