I’m not being dramatic when I say this — the way season 5 played out left an entire community of queer people devastated. and queer people have shed enough tears over things as big as life and death, without having to also mourn queerbait. we shouldn’t have to mourn a lack of media expression and representation. especially from a show that built itself on the hearts of queer love and experiences. They dragged it out for 10 years — WITH LITERAL PROOF AND REASON TO BELIEVE IT WOULD HAPPEN, MIND YOU. after ten years of crafting a beautiful and powerful queer narrative built off of our experiences, our feelings, our tears, our grief, our hope, they held it just out of reach and then dangled it over the holidays like a gift we’d get to keep. A gift we’d get to hold onto after a world of SCRAPS, of bare minimum queerness within media. not only did they intentionally lead the show toward byler being canon THE ENTIRETY OF THOSE TEN YEARS, but they then ripped it away like it meant nothing…they let the fan base literally sink into grief over it. like happy new year!! FUCK everything
The Duffers are horrible people, simply put. They knew what they were doing, and they knew what the fanbase was increasingly thinking would happen. However, they openly admitted that they disregarded us as mere "noise" that they needed to block out. And this was in response to a question as to whether they considered being clear about the fate of Byler.
No, they never considered that. They even said they wouldn't "change course," suggesting that fans thinking Byler could happen was a necessary aspect of their story.
The queerbaiting was intentional. Perhaps not for its own sake but just so that it would be believable that Will would keep thinking he had a shot, but intentional nonetheless.
So, I guess Will's queerbaiting was intentional, ours was incidental because we dared to emotionally connect with him as a character due to seeing in him a reflection of ourselves.
They didn't realize people would see themselves in Will. Despite claims to the contrary, the show was written predominantly for cishet white male incels. They figured the entire audience would sympathize with Mike's plight of being a self-centered person with zero redeeming qualities who feels like his girlfriend is too good for him, but also believes that he's inherently entitled to her because he was nice to her when they first met.
The audience was supposed to root for Mike to copy the gestures and feelings that Will was pouring into Mike, and apply them to his relationship with El. And when Mike did the absolute bare minimum for El, the audience was supposed to stand and cheer for him.
El was supposed to just expect to be treated terribly for the rest of her life because Mike is a "nice guy" who is "trying." And that should be enough for a woman.

You've gotta have good biodiversity in your reasons for not killing yourself. Rotate them out like crops when the yield gets low and the soil poor. We're mixing our metaphors. Whatever helps it stick.
You like warm blankets. You like the sound of birdsong. You have a pet that needs taking care of. You have someone to outlive. You have a loved one. You think death would be boring. It's coming for you anyway. Death is patient. When was the last time you had cake? Your favourite musician is going on tour. Or maybe just a halfway decent band at your local bar. You've never seen an elephant. Isn't it amazing that the sky is blue? Aging is a gift not afforded to most. Don't let the bastard grind you down. You can't mend any suffering in the world with your death. You want to see if you can grow herbs on your windowsill. Killing yourself seems like so much effort. What does tiramisu taste like? You're trying to be curious. You're angry and spiteful. What you want more than to die is to rest. This sandwich is so good you don't want to die. Not so long as there are plums to eat and somebody, anybody who gives enough of a damn to haul them to you. A stranger on the internet is holding their hand out and asking.
You haven't finished that book. It's almost strawberry season. There's a chrysalis on the porch that should open soon. There are pastries you've never tried. It's going to be sunny tomorrow. You're going to look very distinguished with gray hair. You have to outlive him. There aren't any easy ways to die. Your package is supposed to arrive on Friday. There are people who will love you that you haven't met yet.

sorry, I’ve been doing a lot of serious posts recently. The officalverse has been ROUGH
so by this point you probably know that there’s this account telling the people in the officalverse to kill themselves because 2 prominent figures in the community are anti-endo.
first of all, DONT KILL YOURSELF! you are amazing and we would all be sad if you did, especially if you’re pro-endo, don’t have an opinion, or just didn’t want to be involved in the drama in the first place.
second, I reached out to the person regarding this. This was before I knew what the drama was about. Now seeing as I’m not Plural, I was extremely out of my depth when I was talking to them. I would love if people could offer some resources so I could understand this further, especially any research regarding if Endos are possible, since from what I’ve seen, they aren’t, but I would love to be corrected!
third, if you haven’t gotten involved in the drama yet, and you don’t know anything regarding this matter, JUST BLOCK AND REPORT! I unfortunately got myself into something I don’t understand, but you don’t need to make the same mistake as me!
Stay safe, officalverse!

i dont get offended at white people jokes even though im white because:
i can recognize white people as a whole have systemically oppressed POC in america, which is where i live
most people when they make white people jokes only mean the shitty white people and i am not a shitty white person
im not a pissbaby
my white friends that have reblogged this give me life
4. Sometimes I am a shitty white person and the jokes remind me to FUCKIN STOP
If ur white and like this post I fux with u
^absolutely
5. It’s hard to be offended when white people jokes involve bland food/tourist dads in socks and sandals/white girls in yoga pants obsessed with pumpkin spice/suburban PTA moms and other harmless and mostly true stereotypes while jokes about POC involve them being called thugs/criminals/slurs/uneducated/illegal immigrants.
i fucks with u heavy if ur white and you reblog this
6. They’re usually really fucking funny and don’t perpetuate stereotypes that will ever affect me economically, politically, or cause me any true harm, let alone create risks that “justify” my murder and/or death
i think they've got a secret handshake

Jensen Ackles | JIBCon 2026 (Rome, April 25, 2026) (x)
Good book
a question and an answer
Would it kill you to be tender?
Yes,
yes,
yes.
A knife through my throat,
plunged through my stomach and
twisting,
cutting,
tearing
me open, to pieces.
Tender is not a word in my vocabulary.
I know nothing but the feel of
sharp blades,
digging nails,
harsh words
Against my skin, imprinting in my brain
until every doubt is a mantra.
I never learned to be tender.
My birthplace doubled as my gravesite,
I was born
and buried alive
in the same breath.
I think loving me should come with
a warning sign.
You’ll only be loving a dead person.
My eternal resting place has
poison ivy around the edges
so that even in death, I’ll take you
down
with
me.
But you’ve loved me despite my trauma.
You’ve seen my insecurities and my
dark parts, and you were brave enough to love me anyway.
The feel of tenderness on my
tongue is glass in my mouth,
I’m bleeding
from the
inside out.
I have a needle through every nerve ending that touches you
and the look in your eyes when you see the pain in mine—It’s killing me.
So ask me again if it would kill me to be tender.
The answer is the same.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
But sweetheart, you should know that
I will die for you.
