So I little follow up on this post of mine
I told myself I would watch the finale either way but in the hours leading up to it I decided I would see what the reaction were like here, and I’m happy I did that, I fill not be watching it.
So I’m once again repeating my point
Creelby parallels ? Intentional
Rovickie parallels ? Intentional
Blue and yellow ? Intentional, especially after they saw that we were analysing it that way
Never denying Byler in the last three years ? Intentional
They did not have to write it like this
Will Byers storyline, if it was going to end this way could have been dealt with so much more care.
He didn’t HAVE TO be in love with Mike
And even if you wanted to portray him being in love/having a crush on one of his childhood close friends (anyone in the party possible) they could have made this storyline the duration of only one season (like Dustin crush on Max) and then have plenty of time to give him a fully fledge love interest
But they didn’t do any of that. They used the queer suffering and queer love to uplift their endgame couple at the detriment of their gay character.
They didn’t deny the possibility of byler three years ago for a reason.
They were very intentionally queerbaiting us
We should very much remember this, make our anger show, and never ever again give all the creators involved in the making of these any of our money or our time.
(Also to Ao3 we go, and we stay together as a community, we keep shipping our boys, that they are not canon should not change the fact that we ship them cause shipping has nothing to do with the fact that we are mad)
