im crying why is ao3 still down 💔

[crusty-grass]

so i’m currently back on my bullshit (batfamily fanfiction) and idk if it’s canon but I hate seeing in fics that Damian gets bullied at school, because I honestly think he’d be fine. Like, lets just look at the facts

First of all that boy is a product of Bruce Wayne and (more importantly) Talia Al Ghul, he’s probably the most beautiful child to walk this earth. He’s also crazy athletic from being Robin, so everyone’s gonna want him on their dodgeball team.

Secondly, he’s super duper smart. He’s probably correcting his teachers in all his classes about shit they’re messing up and I guarantee other kids are just eating it up. Like imagine finding out before school goes back that you have your literal least favourite teacher, then walking into the classroom to see none other than Damian Wayne sitting in the front row ready to humiliate him. That would actually turn the whole year around.

And everyone would want to be in his group for school projects because he’s passing all his classes, like this little boy is carrying his whole year group I’m not kidding.

THIRDLY, in most fics I see he’s bullied for how he speaks which is all formal and proper but also very blunt, and he tends to be rude. But like, he literally goes to Richy Rich Gotham Elite Private School Academy so yeah I imagine he’s not the first kid to walk through those gates and speak like his favourite bedtime story is Oxford’s English Dictionary and Thesaurus. And while he can be blunt it’s not like he’s just mean all the time for kicks, like he’s mostly rude to people who actually deserve it. He’s the type of kid who just sticks up for random people in school who he’s only spoken to in passing and knows that they’re polite.

AND LASTLY!!! children love animals and Damian is literally Snow White. Birds land on him, dogs let him pet them, cats let him pick them up, he owns a fucking cow.

so in conclusion, I don’t think Damian would get bullied at all. He’s way more likely to be popular. Does he understand social norms and how to interact with children his age? Not really, but I reckon that for maybe the first week of school everyone else is just a little too intimidated to talk to him (probably because of his resting bitch face) and think he’s gonna be mean until they see him helping some ducklings cross the street or some shit and they realise he’s cool.

normally it's frustrating when mystery games hand you answers on a silver plate but in ace attorney, the witnesses' tendencies to conveniently say far more than what they were asked for is so hilarious that it becomes its own reward. ace attorney witnesses will be asked what time they saw the murder and they'll say it was 10:40 and they know it was exactly that time because that's the exact minute they open the can of Fancy Feast to feed their elderly russian blue cat, father of 12 kittens and phoenix will be like umm actually i spoke to your cat and here's a written affidavit from him that there was a recall on Fancy Feast and also he's never been to russia nor known the touch of a woman. you're going to jail buddy

Honestly distraught because after volume two I seriously doubt that Byler will be canon, and if it is, then it won’t be done in a satisfying way. The finale is only two hours long and I can’t imagine there being an appropriate time for a Byler confession there, and Will’s (questionable) coming out made it seem like he was over Mike in the way that Robin is over Tammy.

On top of all that, the painting still hasn’t been fully addressed and Byler finally becoming canon in the LAST episode feels so rushed, like the Suffer brothers care more about the surprise factor than Mike and Will’s relationship, and that they’re doing it in the last episode so they don’t lose fans.

NOT TO MENTION if Mike is Will’s Tammy, then it might be a (stupid stupid stupid) open to interpretation ending where Will meets his Vickie like five minutes before the end just to give the audience a little something to make us feel like he has a happy ending, but he has literally had a crush on Mike forever and if they don’t end up together then Stranger Things has just been a five season long series of Will Byers going through the fucking wringer and having The Worst time ever, where he doesn’t even get the girl (Michael Wheeler) in the end.

I’m literally crashing out over this, especially if

a) Eleven lives and her + Mike end up together because that’s not even healthy for her at this point, and also Mike has been a pretty awful boyfriend to her so far, not to mention the obvious queerbait.

Or b) Eleven dies and then Mike ends up with Will. This shouldn’t need explanation because it would obviously be INSANE if him and Will are kissing next to his dead girlfriend’s corpse.

great news gang I was lowkey crashing out here but I just spent the past three hours on and off tumblr and byler fans have restored my faith in the ship

I still probably won’t be happy about how it’s executed but if anyone can fix that, AO3 can.

[crusty-grass]

Little known fact, it’s not actually the Duffer brothers writing and directing Stranger Things. Mhm, yeah, it’s this guy

[crusty-grass]

“He was just my Tammy” No girl, he was your one and only

[crusty-grass]

I’m not being a hater or anything I just think it would be super cool if Stranger Things ended with Steve ‘the Hair’ Harrington being single and Byler being canon

just saying

[crusty-grass]

And thank you Gaten, for practically singlehandedly saving volume two from being a complete shambles

[crusty-grass]

fuck me i guess

[crusty-grass]

The fact that the entire Stranger Things community is currently divided into “what the FUCK is happening to my Byler canon” and also “big dick Steve is real 😀” is sending me into the stratosphere

[moonyscupid]

I have zero byler doubt. In fact, I have byler confidence, and I'll tell you why

I thought to myself that if they don't show us byler now, it will be in episode eight.

Think about it, probably the biggest plot twist of the decade and they're going to reveal it in Vol 2???? HA I don't think so.

Plus, if the end of byler was going to be unrequited, then we as an audience would've gotten closure of any type from Mike. Something that told us he definitely didn't return Will's feelings... But we didn't.

Instead, what we got is byler almost never interacting, mleven scenes being the least romantic thing ever, and El (my baby) is planning to die.

And!!!! We got Will's (my son) coming out scene!!!!

Now, we know Mike doesn't know Will loves him, we know that. But now, he knows Will likes men. So he's got a chance.

Also, Will saying that this someone is 'his Tammy'. Mike never rejected Will, in fact, he never gave us a sign in this season (or any season) that he would reject him.

Will just assumed Mike could never love him.

But we still don't have Mike's side of the story.

And we're still yet to see the many scenes Finn and Noah filmed together. We're still yet to see Finn carrying the emotional weight of the plot, as Shawn Levy said.

Remember, the final is 2 hours and half an hour long. That's plenty of time for things to happen.

Also, Robin's conversation with Will on the roof.

She said she accepted herself, then she told someone and then she got with Vickie.

Sounds familiar, right?

Will accepted himself, Will told some about him (he told everyone!) and then.... We know what's next.

Don't forget about the signals, guys. The avalanche!

Mike knows Will's gay, he knows. And now, it's his turn to make a move. His turn to make an avalanche.

[crusty-grass]

I do agree and I’ll be so happy to see Byler happen if (when) it does in the finale, but that doesn’t stop it from being just plain messy. Two and a half hours is a long time, but considering everyone’s current positions, Byler canon will probably be a lot more awkward than it could have and frankly should have been.

Mike and Eleven are still together, even though they’ve barely been seen together all season, which means they either have to break up and then Mike is just moving from relationship to relationship at the speed of light, or El will die, in which case Mike AND Will get absolutely NO time to grieve before just moving on with life, which is super unrealistic.

Also, Mike and Will have been around each other pretty often in volume two, but Mike is not actually spending half as much time with him as he did in volume one. Feels kind of like the Duffers are intentionally putting distance between them to make Byler even more surprising if it does happen, which is kind of shitty and unrealistic to Mike’s character as well.

So while I do still have faith in Byler, I don’t have a lot of faith in the Suffer brothers and their execution of it unfortunately.
