I'm a self proclaimed writer, artist, analyser, editor. I learnt all my skills from byler because it's my number one hyperfixation. It just keeps coming back I've been stuck here for three years.

Big hater of Mike Wheelers dumb ahh. Also his loyal defender pre volume 2 and 3 when they lobotomised him. Don't worry the fic writers will take care of you now Mike you can explore all you like.

Will Byers can do no wrong. He deserves all the hot pot in the world. He and Mike are happy and together gayly<3

I can't take it anymore guys. That loving look Mike gives to Will's eyes, which seem to be searching for something, as Will holds his paladin's sword. I'M DONE

”the party grow up and don’t play dnd anymore”

my 40 something year old English teacher rents out an Airbnb for a whole weekend every like month or something for him and his friends solely for the purpose of campy dnd sessions

[f1nnyf1sh]

this this this a million times this

[minty-miwi]

i fully headcanon that during the 18 month time skip mike and will DEFINITELY had a late night almost kiss that they then proceeded to never mention to each other out of fear that they were imagining the tension

[0ceansoftime]

this ai byler fic incident happening multiple times with incredibly popular byler fic feels like a lesson in trying to make a fic canon, a way of thinking that feels incredibly dismissive to fics that do not have that type of popularity in the fandom.

people read 'the big 3' and then think the fandom is dying. it's not!!! there are thousandssss of well written fics real people put their heart and soul and time and effort into, and this whole 'byler fic canon' and 'big 3' mindset is so silly. ESPECIALLY when incidents like this happen because now one of the big 3 fics is *allegedly* written by ai.

there’s nothing wrong with celebrating an author or enjoying a fic with other people. community is what keeps fandom alive! but we have to spread that enthusiasm, rather than concentrating it onto a select few works.

use the tag system. stop treating ao3 as an algorithm. give a chance to smaller fics and build community. fandom won't feel so dead when you do so!

The people who call Mike cringe for roleplaying in the epilogue are the same people who hate on him for changing too much between s2 and s3. I fucking wonder why. Maybe because he’s being bullied by people like YOU

[mandyluvspuppies]

REAL also acting as if everyone else in the party wasn’t just as into it as him?? Like they were all doing dramatic voices, yelling, jumping about, getting passionate and I don’t see you bullying them!!!

If your friendship isn't homoerotic then are you really even friends?

[sunchildsatoru]

no, no, he’s got a point

[ssentinl]

boys too soft for a world so cruel

[multifandom-madne55]

No because at the end of the day Stranger Things 5 was the first to do a Cyrano Trope in which nothing is revealed and the lie remained and it was all at the expense of a queer character. Groundbreaking television, truly phenomenal.

[hawkinsschoolcounselor]

That we are all expected to just believe that Will was talking about El's genuine feelings...

I mean, that's really the only way to even try to justify never revealing the lie, by making it the truth all along.

Nevermind that Will still would have been lying about her involvement in the painting. Her feelings matching Will's is already a stretch of the imagination. Making it so that he made the painting with her feelings in mind or genuinely by her commission is several bridges too far.

Nevermind that nothing we see after the van scene makes it seem like anything Will said matches El's feelings for Mike. Or that Mike learned a damn thing about treating El the way he should. She's still lying to him, and he's still treating her like a superhero, not a person like him.

Nevermind that Mike is all concerned about Will and giggly about his powers in a way that screams "I knew you had it in you all along" while curiously being unconcerned about El until after she returns from the Upside Down. It's a really odd shift in behavior between the volumes.

Nevermind that Will goes from flirting with Mike, because of him, I don't know, misinterpreting what Robin was talking about with signals, I guess, to saying it was a crush and pushing him back to El. Again.

Nevermind that the painting makes a shocking return in Mike's epilogue vignette after being ignored all season.

The Duffers are the ones who repeatedly intertwined El and Will in Mike's series long arc. It takes a lot of gall to claim there was never any reason to think Mike and Will would end up together, that it was always Mike and El.

But, no, the Duffers gladly took their victory lap, all the while calling us noise that needed to be blocked out.
