Something clever and pretend I posted it here

[iowatower]

If I was writing Stranger Things, Will's coming out speech would have Mike feeling some kinda way. Some kind of way, combined with his feelings for El, that attracts Vecna's attention.

Vecna's two most dangerous enemies both having serious, deep feelings for the same powerless normal boy? Same boy having serious, confusing feelings for Vecna's most dangerous enemies?

Could be Byler. Could be Mileven. Could be they all go their own ways when it's over.

The possibilities are wild if I ever get around to writing it.

Where was this "anything less tells the world political violence is acceptable" energy when that politician was killed in Minnesota? Where was it January 6th?

He argued against gun control; a gun took him out. He made a living debating ignorant college students and grifting adults that shoulda known better. I ain't going to celebrate his death, but I sure as fuck ain't mourning it, either.

[miwi7-deactivated20260519]

if mileven is endgame I’ll genuinely have so many questions

- why is Will, the gay character, the only one without a relationship? especially when he longs for one / goes through a lot all the time

- why is byler’s dynamic so different from the other party members? why does Mike treat Will differently?

- why did they make Will fall in love with Mike? isn’t it kind of messed up writing if it’s just to add another layer of torture? why didn’t they just let Will come out to Mike in S4? it would have made room for a different love interest in S5, the same way they handled rejections with other characters

- why did Mike’s character change the minute he starts dating El? what made him grow distant from his long term best friend?

- why was Mike (if not dealing with internalised homophobia) so mean to Will? “it’s not my fault you don’t like girls!”, he knows Will has been bullied because of homophobia his entire life, even by his father

- why did Mike not reach out to Will, his best friend? Why did he feel the need to say “we’re friends, we’re friends.” if he doesn’t know Will is in love with him? why can’t he hug Will anymore?

- why did they use the gay boy’s feelings to fix a straight relationship? why was Will’s pain shown during the love monologue? why was Will in the shot during Mike’s first I love you to El? Why was there a shot of Jonathan? if it wasn’t relevant, why didn’t they hide these characters the way they did with Argyle?

- why is Mike so queer coded?

- what was the point of putting byler always between other couples / paralleling them to other couples? what was the point of the last shot of S4 of byler being in the middle of two endgame couples?

- why do the actors act mysterious about byler?

- why was Will the focus in most mileven S4 scenes?

honestly I could go on forever

[iowatower]

All of those questions can be answered by one simple statement: One or both Duffers are gay. Now, I don't know if that statement is true or not, but every single question is literally a canon event in the life of an 1980s gay boy. In love with a straight friend, straight friend gets weird when dating, etc. If Byler isn't endgame, nothing will ever convince me that neither of them is gay.

The Love Triangle Exists for a Reason

The GA claims that mileven is the best couple and that their relationship has been "built up" throughout the whole show.

But they also focus so much on Mike and Will's relationship. And Will has been confirmed to be in love with Mike.

If they wanted the audience to view mileven as the best couple, why consistently pair Mike and Will together and really emphasize that Will has feelings for Mike?

They want the audience to feel bad for Will and want the best for him.

They knew that creating a storyline where Will is in love with Mike, will cause conflict in the audience. They knew there would be people on both sides: mileven vs byler.

If they didn't want any conflict or drama—if they didn't want the audience to ROOT for byler—they wouldn't have made Will in love with Mike.

They didn't have Will be in love with Mike just to show that he's a relatable character because his feelings are unrequited. They didn't set up this storyline so that Will gets rejected.

Will already believes he will never fall in love. If he gets rejected by Mike, even though Mike supports him—that would be an unsatisfying outcome for Will because he'll still believe he will never fall in love and it'll be a predictable outcome for the GA.

There would be no reason—no weight—to the end of that storyline. The message of the show would fall flat.

Will is in love with Mike because this is a show about embracing being different. It's about embracing being yourself. Mike and Will being in love with each other would be the best way to showcase the message of ST.

Byler Endgame💙💛

[iowatower]

Maybe.

I'm going to have to point out, tho, that "falling in love with a straight boy" is a canon event in the life of gay boys. A right of passage. A fixed point. Being reciprocal... not so much. The only way to possibly avoid it is to not have friends, and even that's not a guarantee.

I don't know if either of the Duffers are gay. If so, I would be unsurprised if Will's storyline ended with him loving himself, being a strong, gay, single man. ("Single" because bringing in yet another new character for us to care about while dealing with the death of Byler seems ill-advised. It's the last season - it's Mike or nobody.)

If not... I will be unsurprised if they go for the more romantic take of Mike realizing he's gay, too.

We'll see.

BAD BUDDY | EP12

[iowatower]

That's only 2 cheeks. Jus' sayin'.

[little-one-eyed-monsters-deacti]

It's missing OhmNanon hours 😭

I haven't had a sunken ship affect me this much since Supernatural's Destiel, and boy oh boy do I HATE that comparison. Because Destiel was a running joke of a ship to its showrunners, while these two were an officially branded pair to a whole studio. GMMTV and OhmNanon themselves didn't queerbait me to hell and high water-- they fed me exactly what I asked for! This wishful thinking is just me being greedy, I know that.

And yet, it hurts the same. OhmNanon is my roman empire. And It's not me just co-opting the term; I'd be watching another BL and suddenly get the urge to rewatch Bad Buddy all over again. I'd encounter shows with promising storylines but bad actors, and think, "wow, Ohm and Nanon would've KILLED these roles". I watch every GMMTV seasonal show lineup, and though I know in my head it isn't possible for them to collaborate again, in my heart of hearts, a small speck in there is still holding onto hope that they might surprise us.

It really is like Destiel all over again. Waiting and hoping and praying. Getting disappointed every single time.

And I promise it's not the delulu. Ohm and Nanon could marry their SOs by tomorrow and I wouldn't bat an eye, so long as they continued to make shows together. It's Ohm and Nanon's rare acting talent that matched and supplemented each other, their natural chemistry bounding off of that screen, and their breathtaking ability to transform a mundane premise into something magical. That's what I miss. These are what make them a lost diamond.

How did we bungle this? Was it the fandom? The studio? The projects? Each other? Or maybe because they weren't a diamond at all; they were a firework, beautiful in the moment, but never meant to last.

Gosh I miss OhmNanon. I'd give anything to have them back on my screen. But since that's impossible for now, I wish them well individually instead.

[iowatower]

Destiel was pure delulu. OhmNanon was... everything.

I knew their work individually from previous series, so I remember the excitement I felt when Bad Buddy was announced. And I haven't finished a BL since. Maybe I never will again.

Time for a rewatch.

This song is so good

OMG I love this song so much! And Bad Buddy - best series ever!

i will never shut up about this scene. im annoying like that. its just so. nanon was acting !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! he doesnt say a word but we hear him loud and clear. his face expressions....................... the lingering on the floor before he finally stands up................... pat completely 100% oblivious clueless his friend is in love with his flirtly ass....................... its so good, so silly !!

[dimplesandfierceeyes]

I still love the slow reveal of Pran's utter goneness over the first three episodes culminating in this complete gooey disaster.

But also the best thing about rewatching this show is realising it was always there. You just didn't notice it the first time because the camera isn't focusing on Pran at that moment or Nanon has his head tilted just so that the expression doesn't fully register until you're watching back and looking for it.

I've honestly never seen a show do it so well, this quiet unfolding of a long-held pining. And it's never said outloud but even without seeing high school Pran's jealousy over Ink, you already know with all the clues by this scene that Pran has been in love with Pat for a very, very long time.

And it's extra special because this show doesn't come across at the start as one that is going to play with subtlety this way and yet it does. Wow, how it does. And it shouldn't work next to the stupid jokes and the adverts and the incongruous timelines, but somehow it seeps into all seamlessly

[iowatower]

I know a lot of people watched this because of Ohm - if they knew Nanon at all it was because of Love Score (that song with SIZZY). I love Ohm, he's one of my top favorites. But man, you've got to check out Blacklist, The Gifted, The Gifted: Graduation, My Dear Loser: Edge of 17... Nanon is the best actor GMMTV had.

[pokenoire]

I haven't gotten over PatPran yet

I need to see the divas again

I'm pretending olds OhmNanon's photos are the patpran because I'm so delululu

[iowatower]

I never will get over them.
