6 months since the monstrosity that was the stranger things finale and the destruction of all hope for byler and humanity💔 I’m actually never getting over them. In every day, every blue, and every yellow, I see them. And to the duffer brothers, a big FUCK YOU for ruining not only byler but rovickie, eleven’s ending, creating numerous plot holes and inconsistencies, and for having the fucking AUDACITY to play prince for the uncomfortably forced m*leven kiss scene. PRINCE DIDNT DIE FOR THAT BULLSHIT!!!

Anyway… I miss Will and Mike and I miss Byler so much💔💔 but they will forever live on🙏

[coolchica777]

It’s only been one month since the Great Disappointment that was the ST5 finale and I’m still not over it😭 I miss byler. I miss having hope for the world. Now I have none💔 and I’m not joking

[miwiheroes]

the one thing about both bylers is they have no idea what a rejection/breakup scene is supposed to look like

[imadeanaccountjustforbyler]

[frogsdontcry]

Never addressed.

[coolchica777]

This will forever be the death of me bro like WHAT WAS THIS THEN?? DID IT JUST MEAN NOTHING????

[madlovesbyler]

Imagine not making a queer couple canon because you're scared of a backlash and then your show has a backlash anyways

[byerswheeler]

will byers there are no words to express how proud of you i am

[coolchica777]

MY CHILDDD I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER WILL BYERS💛💛💛💛💛

[crazytogether4ever]

I genuinely love the fact that Will’s love isn’t that soft, lovey-dovey teenage kind like “oh he’s so handsome, I can’t take it” or “he could never do anything wrong.” Instead, it’s more like: “bro… what do I even see in this guy.” Will doesn’t hesitate to call Mike out on his bad behavior. He allows himself to be disappointed, hurt, even angry. And still — he stays. He would stand by Mike to the very end, be the one to point out his mistakes and work through them with him, not ignore them. Because he loves all of Mike. Even when he questions why he loves this dude who wanted a hot orange mohawk. And yes — he’d still love him with that thing on his head

That kind of love is honest. It’s strong. It’s messy. And it’s real

He is so done with this man but still loves him

tammy thompson doesnt know about the irreversible damage she did to hawkins queer community

[reluctantbylerblog]

when "betrayal" was used to describe season 5 what they meant was they were going to betray it's queer audience

[i-eat-cacti]

i haven't seen anyone say this yet but their final outfits are so telling to me. will wearing white, a color that he's only worn once before when he was possessed and had essentially lost all sense of himself. a slate wiped clean. will, who's now wearing white again, though with a bit of personality shining through this time. will, who is moving on and becoming a new person, leaving all of his negatives behind. wiping the slate clean. mike, wearing blue. a color he's worn most every episode since we met him. mike, stuck in the past, unable to move on and let go of his childhood, unable to start anew. mike, who is stuck with the negatives, and continues to live life the way he lived it during the worst years of his life.

conformitygate is so extremely real to me.

stranger things pulled me out of a deep depressive episode in november and now im going back to school and stranger things ended stupidly and that is incredibly worrying for the state of depressive lucy

[willthewiz]

She was kissed before she knew her name.

She was in a relationship before she knew what clothes she liked.

Her boyfriend needed his bestfriend's help to tell her that he loved her.

I love Mike. I love El.

But I don't like their relationship.

[coolchica777]

it’s been a few days since the finale of stranger things aired and all i have left to say is that matt and ross duffer are absolute cowards.

byler was always in the cards and should have been endgame. from the shared looks, the costume designs, the soundtracks, the parallels to other queer relationships in media and other endgame couples within the show (and so much more), it was extremely evident that byler was an important factor since the beginning of season 1 of the series.

i didn’t even care if we didn’t get a kiss or if we just got a korrasami type of ending for them, but we got absolutely nothing. and the fact that noah had to plead with the duffers to actually include a scene to give closure/acknowledgement to their relationship in the final episode is actually diabolical considering how central their relationship is to the show and its overarching theme of rejecting conformity and embracing being different.

we could’ve had a beautiful, powerful queer love story at the forefront of one of the biggest television shows in history. and it would have been so impactful especially during this time where discrimination and homophobia is resurfacing because of the hostile political environment in the US and around the world. it could have changed people’s ignorance into acknowledgment and acceptance, and people’s hatred into love. but of course, they chose the simple, lazy route: pretend mike and eleven had no issues in their relationship and force them to be endgame, conforming to heteronormativity and the homophobic GA’s expectations.

byler is bigger than just a silly ship in stranger things. it is a movement that signifies embracing our true selves and choosing to pursue love in the face of fear. it is a relationship that was carefully built up over time; a slow burn that was raw and real. it is a relationship that would’ve benefitted all of mike, will, and el’s respective character arcs. it united so many people and gave comfort to queer people all over the world who see parts of themselves in mike and will.

so yeah, duffer brothers, i will NEVER forgive you for building up a relationship so beautifully and then completely demolishing all of its potential through terrible writing. i will NEVER forgive you for ruining mike and el’s respective arcs and reducing will’s love for mike to a simple crush after 10 years of building it up. and i will NEVER forgive you for pretending like mike and will’s relationship was never considered as a possibility, because we all know damn well that it was.
