having mike admit that he's unable to handle both el and will being in his life at the same time and then just never exploring that at all ever again is...very telling
there were so many plot holes and things that were left open ended and characters that just had a shit ending and i could complain about all of that to no end, but there’s one thing in particular that i haven’t been able to shake because of how disgusting it feels:
the fact that the painting was never brought up again.
first of all this is just terrible writing for the fact that will had to lie about the intentions of said painting in order to make mike feel better, and when you do something like that in a story the lie is SUPPOSED TO BE FOUND OUT EVENTUALLY. mike hangs that painting on his wall at the end of the story still believing that its creation was el’s idea and that’s just so fucked up, and also it makes no sense that mike wouldn’t be like “oh el thanks for the painting by the way” but of course the duffers never added that conversation because they didn’t WANT the truth about the painting to be something mike ever knew.
but worse than all of that is the fact that wills feelings for mike were only ever a plot device to bring mike and eleven together (and it didn’t even fucking work mind you). will told mike exactly how he himself feels about him, disguising it as elevens feelings in order to help mike fix his relationship. he gave eleven all the emotional credit for his painting so that mike would feel better, and it was never even brought up again. i can’t begin to explain how absolutely evil of thing this is to do, wills feelings for mike were dragged out until the last season making it seems like it would actually build up to something, ANYTHING, even a heart to heart rejection scene would be better than essentially telling your viewers “wills feelings were becoming too real so we needed to just get rid of them really quickly so it wouldn’t be something we actually need to discuss properly.”
tldr: the painting never being addressed proves that wills feelings for mike were only ever intended to be used as a bandaid for mike and elevens relationship, which is fucked up in so many ways i think i could write about it nonstop until the day i die and still never truly get my point across
shocking: two straight men just intentionally gave two canonically queer characters incredibly good writing
DELETE POST DELETE DELETE NOW
i go on twitter and every other post is like "waitttt guys byler literally just got confirmed i can't believe it's actually happening" and you go to the replies and no one is explaining what they're talking about
stranger things fandom is weird as hell because how has byler been half canon for basically the whole show yet shippers are called crazy and delusional for then shipping it ?? aside from the fact that there is an entirely real chance of it being endgame, why is it seen as a completely outlandish relationship to like....has the GA never been in other fandoms before.......
Chapter 6 take that came to me in a dream
something seems off about my deltarune
MY DELTARUNE.
distance / closeness
bringing chara into deltarune as if they weren't already haunting the narrative in undertale. why would toby fox be like "waittttt lets do that again"
the byers family can't go a single season without their living situation getting fucked up...as soon as i saw that breakfast scene at the wheelers house i knew that place was getting DESTROYED
dude i love tumblr i should've been here instead of spending 6 agonizing years on twitter as a teenager
