i would love a byler au based on Obsession (2026) but idk who would be which character?!

(personally, i’m more into Mike being the one who makes the wish and Will is the psycho/possessed bf because we need more dark!Will fics up in this bitch)

(but i also love the idea of Will making the wish bc, like Bear in the movie, he doesn’t know if his crush likes him back and would try a one wish willow as a pathetic last resort, not knowing it actually works)

…furthermore, i can’t decide whether to set in the 18 month gap between s4 and s5 or post-canon.

[cjriles]

A detail in Obsession (2026) I haven’t seen talked about yet is Nikki’s last name being Freeman, yet ironically, Bear’s wish makes her no longer a free man (person)

AND ALSO

Bear’s name being Bear like the popular “Would you rather be stuck in a forest with a man or a bear?” debate, yet he’s both the man and the (figurative) bear

[cjriles]

i need these two to interact so badly

[cjriles]

for the people who’ve read ttmd;ttms, who are we headcanonning as the couple on the walkie? i genuinely wanna know ppl’s funniest take.

they shot me off a dying planet

in a tin-sized escape pod

there was room only for a bed and porthole

that i watched my home explode from

the com-link's open

but there's no one

tuned in on the other side

why did i deserve to live?

did i just deserve to watch them die?

oh why did i?

— escape pod , paris paloma

[cjriles]

in those first hours

no one heard me

scream at the hateful, cold eternity

and i have been floating

ever since then

with nobody but the darkness as my friend

and if they had asked me

i wouldn't have agreed

that it was the right thing

AM I WRONG THO

[cjriles]

the opening scenes of project hail mary and the maze runner are the same thing in different fonts

and i’d like to make that very known to the public

[cjriles]

HEY HEY— HERE ME OUT THO

hunger games!byler

district 8! fashion illustrator! will byers

district 6! engineer! mike wheeler

[sematicsceramics]

is it stupid if I refer to Mike the Brave as Knight-Mike

does anyone have anything better

[cjriles]

not exactly something better but mike the knight is literally this bitch right here

[cjriles]

yo i need an edit that starts with that clip from the first it movie of bev saying “you grow into your looks” and the shot of richie with his head resting on his hands and then it transitions to a season 5 mike wheeler montage

[cjriles]

my brain made this parallel and now i hate my brain

[cjriles]

that night, you were talking

s3 rain fight

false prophets

el

and profits

winning the war

they make in the margins of poetry sonnets

mike’s future writing and the letters

you never read up on it

aka mike never knew what to look for

shame, could've learned something

like your best friend is in love with you

robert bly on my nightstand

s4 bedroom scene

gifts from you, how ironic

the painting, but mike not knowing it’s from will

the curse

s1 will getting kidnapped/flayed

or a miracle

saving will from the upside down

hearse

will’s body in the lake

or an oracle

will getting powers à la being a sorcerer

you're incomparable

“in real life, you’re more like a sorcerer, because your powers don’t come from a book of spells. they’re innate.”

fuck, it was chemical

mike’s reaction to will using his powers

you (you) plus (plus) me (me) was us

the unrequited love that never fully played out bc the douchebag brothers are wimps

gracie abrams | us. (ft. taylor swift)

[cjriles]

when your hatred for canon is so intense you switch from novel to screenplay format because it’s something so serious that you’re literally gonna rewrite the script

[cjriles]

new post-canon byler headcanon: Mike has dedicated (at least) one of his novels to Will

thank you for coming to my ted talk.

[cjriles]

if you need me i’ll be rage writing fix-it byler fic in my bedroom with a blanket over my head into the new year

[cjriles]

I hereby give permission to anyone who wants to write a long walk au for the maze runner
