El and Will reaching out for Henry's remaining humanity
it wasn't mainly about teen boys kissing, it was rather about hope that a huge show from the self-proclaimed Land of Freedom would be free to tell us that love, and light, can be found even in the darkest of times. because right now the times are dark.
the case is, i kinda got used to the thought that i'm not going to have a real life happy ending. i don't get to be openly queer, because i'm from Russia, where a huge, state imposed homophobic campaign have been launched. i will hardly find love even though i'm pan so i can, technically, "hetero-pass", because i don't know how to figure out if a person i potentially like accepts me as queer without putting myself at risk. i don't want to find out.
it always brought me joy to know that there were places where queer people can be free, love freely.
summer 2019 was my first and only pride parade. it was held in Helsinki. i never felt safer. i was wearing a rainbow flag as a blanket and i saw people cheering me instead of hating on me. i don't know if i ever have another chance to experience this.
but at least i was sure that the world is getting more and more progressive. eastern european countries, asian countries began passing LGBTQ protection laws. i watched beautiful internationally recognised queer movies. no happy ending usually, but it still counts. after all, that's realistic. i didn't get my happy ending either. that's representation.
i know exactly how Will Byers felt. i was a queer teen in love with my best friend, never loved back. i did move on eventually. that's life.
the most visible i felt was back then when Norway gifted us their beautiful series Skam. a world phenomenon — a queer couple that actually made it, without even breaking up eventually in season 4. that was inspiring and heart-warming. i was happy that queer people were getting addressed and recognised.
back then, even in Russia it was easier to breath. we weren't protected by any means, but there were movies about gay people as well, there were celebrities known for being gay. open homophobes were publicly shamed, at least on social media.
none of this matters anymore. we were pushed back into our prison. but still, i looked around the world and found peace knowing that there r places where queer people are governmentally and socially mostly protected. i believed one of those place to be US. and boy was i wrong.
i wanted byler to happen as a proof that the freedom of speech is still a thing. that light, in fact, still can be found. that love cannot be silenced because the will for freedom is innate to and inseparable from people of art. i believed that the Duffers were people of art.
it was never about characters or actors kissing. it was about reinforcing faith in people, faith that among huge media resources and content creating agencies there always were queers or allies who were ready to spead the truth and "shelter freaks and outcasts", as promised. and about hope, that maybe one day, another one, or three, or ten huge, world-famous shows after — some light was going to reach us, governmentally oppressed queers, too.
surely, the earth keeps spinning. ST will not define my fate. but somehow right now i don't feel elated or sheltered. i feel sad. i feel wrong. but that's also realistic, i guess.

So, the lesson here is that if you are different and deal with any kind of disability, and your life will be more difficult due to that difference or disability, you should probably just die. Be grateful for the men in your life who kept you trapped like a little bird before your untimely death. That was just because they loved you so much! (Jane).
Also, if you are emotionally repressed and self-involved, and use fantasy roleplay as a means to escape your clearly unresolved mental health issues, you should continue to self-isolate and sabotage your relationships. For uh... reasons. (Mike).
And if you're gay, you need to learn that not everyone is gay like you! Some people are straight, silly! But hey, after being abused and orally assaulted, you will eventually meet a nice guy in a bar. Just don't gay kiss in public! Ew! (Will).
These are our outcasts and freaks, dawg. This is our show that said forced conformity was killing the kids.
"what will you do if byler isn't canon" go on with my friday. i survived queliot. i had to lose quentin coldwater not to some canonical unsurmountable obstacle but entirely to bad writing, directing, and casting choices. i had to watch my favourite character dying in the show where almost no-one really died due to the worlds structure, because, obviously, that was the only logically suitable way to close a depressed, suicidal queer man's arc. i shed all my tears in 2019. i'm sure i will live through another disappointment, if byler isn't canon.
but also i think it would be kinda nice to get my queers happy, at least once.
the thing i keep wondering about is why lots of people in ST fd keep applying 2025 behavioural logic to 80s characters. why do they keep expecting them to be inclusive and tolerant and woke? to recognise abuse and manipulative patterns from other, older, characters, to reflect on their trauma responses, life choices and influence of social and polical environment?
is Billy a jerk? well yes he is. was the only good thing he'd done a self-sacrifice? yes it was. were some other characters also abused but still turned out better people? yes they did. is Billy necessarily bad to his core? no he isn't, and i'm standing my ground.
yes, Jonathan and Will also have a shitty father. but they also have a loving and empathetic mother who is actively present in their lives. they have a sibling they can rely on and love deeply and mutually.
yes, El had been being dehumanised for over a decade of her life. but... ok don't get me wrong on this, Dr Brenner was a hell of a man and stuff, but he never treated her necessarily cruelly? if we speak outside of his experiments. he was kind and nice and patient to her, in his way. he ABSOLUTELY DID traumatize her, again, i stress it, all this lab thing is inhumane. but papa wasn't brutal or violent. it was a scientific lab after all, not a russian prison. and then later on, but not too late, El found people outside the lab, people who showed her love and acceptance, taught her friendship and active kindness, honesty, provided her a safe space as much as they could.
"Billy's cruelty was his own choice" how could Billy be a better person when was never taught to be one? he was trapped with his abuser. one person that could've saved him — left him. with his abuser. are we dead sure Will still would be a kind and bright boy if left with Lonnie one on one for years and years? no escape? no talk back? no brother, no mother, no friends, no usual hobbies because Lonnie would not tolerate them — did Billy had hobbies? are we even sure Billy had any fucking clue about who he was and what he genuinely liked?
you cannot start to reflect on and work through your trauma if everything you do day by day is facing this exact fucking trauma. you cannot ask yourself questions like "am i a good enough person?" if you barely see yourself as a person because the only way you see yourself is through the eyes of your abuser. of your own fucking father. the one who was supposed to be a protector, a provider, a role model.
is Billy a jerk by our standards? an exceptional. but it is exactly because we've got to have those standards, we've got to have multiple books on social studies, psychology, child psychology, child education, we've got racial politics, CPS, we've got movies that raise different social and personal issues for us to watch and have something to reflect on, we have internet to find and compare information; that is exactly why we should find it in ourselves to be kind and compassionate to Billy. because he's an abused, extremely lonely, desperately unhappy kid. he was a teen. he was 18. his fucking brain wasn't fully developed yet. the way he treated Max was bad. it was another link of the abuse chain his father had started — or more likely continued, if you please. it wasn't excusable. but it was understandable, and we should understand him. otherwise all those decades of social studies, plunge into child psychology and overall literacy increase have gone to waste.
it is very easy to show kindness to kind people or characters. it is much harder to be empathetic to jerks in real life. no one wants to delve into an abusive childhood of a guy who beat the shit out of you. i wouldn't want either, no matter what a good-natured moralist i'm being here. but bad characters do not actually hurt us. we can take our time to study them, to view from all sides, to look into their troubled mind and find ways for them to change for the better or answers on why they, in fact, can't do it.
i love Billy. he's got nothing to be loved for. that is exactly why i choose to love him, as a character, and show him kindness he was refused by people around him. he didn't die a hero. he died hurt and broken — hurt by a monster, broken by a human.

I’m not a big fan of how in many tomarry fics Harry’s character suffers in favour of making Tom Riddle seem cool.
Like y’all. I don’t care how much of an overachieving genius Tom was, that man is canonically a patchwork of the worst character flaws anyone could ever have. I love him because he is a loser. He is beautiful and smart and over-emotional and egotistic and cruel and antisocial and it ruins his life.
Fics tend to write Harry as surly and reacting with anger, but in canon the only time we see him genuinely get angry after all the shit he’s been through is 1) when he has to deal with Umbridge, and 2) after Sirius dies at the Ministry. I’d go so far as to say that he is less emotional than Tom.
Harry’s levels of idgaf are so unapologetically high that he literally sees no point in pandering or lying to anyone about anything. He goes to formal networking events with outcasts, breaks rules on the regular, blows up his aunt because she pissed him off, casually murders his DADA professors on a Tuesday afternoon… he literally asked the Minister for Magic to sign his Hogsmeade permission form and crucio’d a Death Eater for spitting on McGonagall.
There’s no realistic scenario where Harry James Potter would be submissive or overly insecure.
Tom’s too self-conscious about preserving his reputation and people respecting him to actually be himself. His ego is a castle of cards, dependent entirely on his Slytherin heritage, his high grades, and his utter lack of scruples. If any of those are cast into doubt, he loses his temper and becomes completely unhinged.
this means bychance canon and endgame

Hi, gals, pals, guys, and fellow BL lovers/enthusiasts. There’s a new discord server for KinnPorsche The Series!!! Yay 🥳🎉🍾
Invite Link: https://discord.gg/pt5cabwY
Check out the KinnPorsche community on Discord - hang out with 19 other members and enjoy free voice and text chat.
What is KinnPorsche The Series?
It’s an upcoming Thai BL series based on a book that’s about a mafia leader and his bodyguard falling in love while living a dangerous life of crime.
Why should I get invested?
The chemistry!!! If nothing attracts you about Thai BL series, then do it for the chemistry of the two leads. Do it for the passionate kiss at least. This series almost didn’t happen and its subject matter is very different to other Thai BL romcoms that you’ve seen; think of it like an experiment. By showing interest and support, you are signaling to the Thai BL industry that it’s ok to explore more mature-themed stories and to let school plots die out. I’m getting ready for some man love, I’m tired of boys.
Here’s the official promotional video:

If you are interested in staying up to date about the cast and production, please come take a look. It’s pretty barren and we would like to have many more members. If you wanna talk about BL in general, we also have a channel just for that. So you can still follow us even if you’re not into KinnPorsche. Just be courteous and have fun…
Some shameless promotion of our boys… Even Elle Thailand saw the potential.
