The wonderfully guilty pleasures that fill up my free time, for better or worse (maybe both!).

Spending so much time try to figure out why some Ryland Grace shots hit me with that strong nostalgia.

Now I realize that if we see the story from other human being’s pov, those shots basically is just dead husband montage for him.

(And if it’s strattland with Stratt’s pov, that will be a total disaster, she is not just mourning her dead husband she also is the one who sent him to died and being hunted by his ghost for rest of her life GOSH THEIR DYNAMICS

[slootsky]

Remember when Stratt snuck into Grace’s bunk while he was sleeping and put a post-it note on his forehead because I do

Prompt: You've found a man who can be your weird secret third thing and your last chance.

OMG, I SWEAR, IF THAT IS HIS BEANIE, I SWEAR, IF STRATT TOOK AND KEPT ONE THING FROM HIM, I SWEAR

she's platonic about it but in my opinion, stratt 100% treats grace as her dead wife. she keeps a tacky fox trinket in her coat pocket. there's a framed photo of him in her study . he's grinning goofily in it (bc he's a dork). new guy like: is that her husband? / no, dumbass, it's dr. ryland grace, 1/3 of the hail mary mission. / oh, fuck. were they... ? / yeah, it's unclear. black-and-white montages of grace messing around in high-level meetings play every time stratt contemplates committing more environmental crimes. she looks up at the night sky and vaguely wonders if he's enjoying his space ramen. that's her dead wife. she killed him.

I was giggling and then the last two sentences shot me

[whiteflwrs]

can’t and won’t stop thinking about eva stratt and ryland grace as two sides of the same sacrificial coin: one who offered herself to the cause as the world’s scapegoat and celebrated by no one, and one who is made the lamb without his consent yet celebrated as the savior he never agreed to be.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

and it’s exactly in said coin’s nature — two sides always meant to be tied to another, and never meant to face each other again.

Pinnacle NOT REACHED, husband DEAD, no CHILDREN, husband's cousin that she has a crush on but doesn't know yet LEAVES THE COUNTRY without telling her. Just L after L for our beloved Francesca Bridgerton Stirling

[hauntedfictionland]

Oh frannie your aching forbidden love season is coming you little homosexual.

hannah dodd as francesca bridgerton the lovergirl 🥺 BRIDGERTON (2026: season four)

[kublakola]

I literally can't believe we're getting a multi-season slow burn bickering-to-friends-to-lovers lesbian love story set in the 1800s with two of the most beautiful women I have ever seen before involved. We're not supposed to get this... like this is against the rules of TV or something idk it feels fucking surreal

Peter: So, why do we need to shower together?

Nebula: There's a water drought across all of Knowhere. We have to reserve the water.

Peter: Ok show me—

Nebula: There is not enough water for everyone so we have to shower together, it’s just something that happens.

Peter: Where did you learn that?

Nebula: On my phone, it’s right here.

Peter: Ok show me the notification.

[Nebula crushes her phone in her metal hand]

Nebula: What phone? I don’t have—

[incorrect-starbula]

Rocket: "Oh no we're all doomed by the narrative". Maybe you are. I'm the narrative's favorite.

Rocket: Update. Turns out this is not a good thing for me.

Though I’m still grieving Byler – and ST in general – after that unbelievably awful finale, this rage and sadness has been FUELING my imagination lately. Case in point, the 25k-word (so far) headcanon I've written about the next fifteen years of Mike and Will's lives post-epilogue :')

In case it's fun for other Bylers to read, during our time of collective mourning and imagining post-canon happy endings for these two, I thought I'd share some highlights here!

Basically, it features painter!Will living his best life in London with his British boyfriend (who he met while studying abroad in college); Mike realizing his feelings for Will at the absolute Worst Possible Moment; and a decade of single-dad Mike suffering/being jealous/pining for Will all the way from Indiana… That is, until 2002, when his eight-year-old son gets involved 🙃 Cue major Parent Trap/Stepping on the Last Train (an incredible Byler fic btw) vibes, and the actual plot of the headcanon lol

I've had so much fun creating this hc that I'm now tempted to write it up as an actual fanfic – but since that will take forever, I first just wanted to share the delightful concept of Will's long-term, British bf looking/acting like Jonathan Bailey.

Because let's be real...Will deserves it 🤪

(I've also decided to name him Anthony, in honor of Bridgerton lol)

Idk, the concept of Will's future bf, who he dates through his twenties/early thirties, being as charming, hot, and genuinely lovely as Jonathan Bailey has filled me with indescribable joy over the past month. Just think about how happy he'd make Will...and how insanely jealous he'd make Mike 😆

In fact, the morning after watching the ST finale, my coping mechanism was watching this JB video on repeat and imagining it was Anthony, Will’s future bf 🥲 (And it actually worked – I felt the tiniest bit less depressed afterward XD)

As this amazing thread by @harumichiis explains, I strongly think that Will deserves to love and be loved more than once in his life...and that Mike deserves to suffer and grow and EARN his way to a happy ending/back to Will’s heart.

Don’t worry Mike, I swear we’ll get you out of that closet and with Will….....eventually 💀

(FYI there is no cheating in this story – just life and relationships being complicated as adults try to figure out love and life and who they are. Because let’s be real…most people aren’t fully figuring out their lives in college ;) )

Anyway, it just feels great knowing that, regardless of whatever future bullshit comes out of the ST universe (looking at you, Tales of '85) or the Duffers/cast/etc, no one can touch this headcanon that I'm living in from now on ❤️‍🩹

And in closing, please enjoy Will's POV of the first time he meets Anthony, a few weeks into his studies in London! (Baby Jonathan Bailey, I would die for you omg)
