Posting ocs is so embarrassing. Here's my stupid loser I guess. You can kill me if you want
march 22nd, through the years 🎂
say what you want about ao3 being down but i’ve gotten so much writing done it’s crazy
will in season 1 in his hospital bed having had seven back to back near death experiences being kidnapped assaulted and dragged through the upside down by an interdimensional monster yet still asking jonathan if his hand was okay was what it felt like apologising to milevens for how the duffers handled their ship
i love writing fanfic bc what do you mean i’m researching different joint custody arrangements???
who needs a valentine bro byler just won top ship on tumblr
Believing in conformitygate but not wanting to fully dive in is like having random bursts of *BUT IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE ANY OTHER WAY!* while I want to hit my head on the wall because nothing is happening
bylerlumax picnic double date (summer of ‘94)
happy valentines day!
anyways that boy is gay as fuckkkkk
mike wheeler i know what you are
”he’s not like me” except mike was drawn to will at age five bc “you were alone too” and mike feels completely lost in season 2 before will helps him find a purpose again and they don’t need words to communicate bc they’re always in sync and “welcome to my world” and they’re always visually paired together and they understand each other better than anyone and will may be the one with feelings but mike is always the one who initiates. and more than anything else they make each other feel less alone. but mike isn’t like will okay sure
I will never be completely over this and will tell the staff in the retirement home about this fumble of the century!!!
hold on i need to engineer an image that will cast 20 psychic damage on a niche group of people
how are we feelin
When this means nothing to you
"He was quiet today" "He's always quiet"
in my humble opinion, mike was never will’s tammy and el was never mike’s tammy—neither mike nor will ever had a “tammy” at all, because queer people and their experiences aren’t copy-pastes of one another. i actively reject this sudden s5 retcon because it’s stupid and it contradicts what was previously canon.
robin had tammy, a hallway crush-slash-fixation who helped her come to the realization that she never needed another person’s romantic love in order to love herself. she also had steve, the first friend she ever truly opened up to and recieved support from.
will had mike, his childhood best friend and likely his gay awakening. he had a loving mother and a supportive brother, but he also had deep-rooted internalized homophobia that was spurred on by his father and his bullies. he later had robin, a queer mentor who taught him things he never knew about his own identity.
mike had will, of course, but he also had vaguely republican parents and likely experienced some combination of internalized homophobia, heteronormativity, and repression. he had el, too, a girl he attached himself to at a young age and navigated a teenage relationship with because she was a girl and he was a boy—what else was he supposed to do?
these are all very separate and distinct queer experiences. the writers tried to shoehorn both mike and will into roles that they never played because they’d rather repackage robin’s queerness (which maya hawke can probably take the credit for anyway) than explore mike and will’s relationship on its own.
this!!! it's incredibly lazy writing to copy and paste robin's queer experience onto will. they are fundamentally different people with different histories, but the writing tries to force them into the same neat arc.
being queer is such a unique journey shaped by your family (e.g., how supportive they are, conservative vs. progressive, religion), personality, experiences growing up, etc. the beauty of queerness is how we've all come into ourselves in different ways. but the duffers have refused to engage with that complexity, so they've just flattened queerness into a singular trope stripped of the nuance it deserves.
it's so funny to me that the more you try to make mike wheeler seem attracted to women the more inherently out of character he is. it's unavoidable. and the duffers experienced that firsthand by needing to reign finn's physicality in, retcon his entire personality, gaslight will, make mike a douche, separate the two of them, make mike take a backseat to everything, and force milkvan to kiss at gunpoint just to even give people the slightest hope he could like jane back. and bro still couldn't even hack it. they had to reduce him to jane's love interest and all that came across was he was not interested in her love
gay mike wheeler you will always be famous i love you i love you i'm so sorry
