“Gee the back half of Olivia’s new album has been a little angsty but that last song was pretty up beat and now I only have one left so it should be too bad-“ *gunshot*

Also holy Byler guys this is ridiculous it’s pushing 1am and I’m here crying to a breakup song about two fictional boys who weren’t canon 6 months ago 😭😭😭

The over masculinization of Mike wheeler and the over feminization of Will Byers just stems from the fact that a lot of people can’t stand that both are relatively gender-non conforming/androgynous in their own ways and these same people can’t stand their ship not having defined gender roles even when it’s queer but y’all aren’t ready for that conversation.

Brandon Sanderson is interesting because in the majority of his body of work (especially his main cosmere universe) he kind of sits down across from you and says,

"Listen, even if an omniscient God or a godlike being is real, most religions are built on only a bit of truth and mostly upon myths designed to keep order among the populace. This order creates, designs, and enforces rigid roles for racism, classism, sexism, and homophobia. It excuses and handwaves, if not outright encourages, colonialism and oppression."

and you're like "Mr. Sanderson, aren't you a card carrying member of the Church of Jesus Christ and the Latter Day Saints?"

and he's like "don't worry about that"

An Incomplete list of songs I will never be able to listen to again without thinking first and foremost about Byler:

Heroes

Me and Michael

Literally Anything by Conan Gray

The Cure

Silver Spring

Smalltown Boy

Should I Stay or should I go

Here comes the rain again

Purple rain

Winner takes it all

The night we met

Take me to church

Seven minutes in heaven

Cardigan

Placing the blame

Enchanted

Back to December

Sign of the times

Too little too late

You’re still the one

Glimpse of us

Earrings

Never be the same

There is a light that never goes out

Chasing cars

The one that got away

Just like heaven

Drop dead

And probably a lot more but this was all I could think of rn

Question to you comformitygaters out there was there any significance of the number 5 to the show and specifically will???

Bc I put a post here a few days ago about the McDonald’s toys about how Mike was blue and number 7 and Will was yellow and number 5 and I saw this image of the s4 uno cards (which are very real I looked them up) and Mike was a blue 7 and Will yellow 5 and I just think that’s very interesting. (wasn’t there something like a theory or whatever with the numbers 57 or am I tripping???)

[justanerd1234]

Gang I just saw a TikTok about how the st fandom sucks or whatever and a top comment was “for how shallow the characters were the shippers sure did go wild and overboard” and then a bunch of people agreeing and saying byler and how much it sucks and how people who ship it are stupid and like?? You can make the argument about whether or not they were actually going to ever consider making byler canon or if it was queerbait or if they deadass didn’t realize they were doing it, but who fucking cares if the fans take a crappy show and make something fun and beautiful out of it?? Like…is that not the point of fanon?? Have we not seen the marauders fandom? You know, a HUGE community with the most liked fic on ao3 ever that’s entire “canon” is fanmade??? Are people not allowed to have fun anymore???

[justanerd1234]

Chat should I bring back the s5 fic I started then discontinued in like October bc I lost interest and then s5 came out and I decided to write a continuation/conformitygate fix it instead?

Anyway literally be doing anything but writing the next chapter of Don’t Be Scared rn guys I rewatched Agatha all along this weekend it was so peak and now I’m playing hogwarts legacy (obligatory fuck Jkr right here) bc I started it like four years ago and never finished it.

Happy pride bitches can’t wait to call every minor inconvenience a homophobic hate crime for the next 30 days

“I wish you could know me, and I wish I could know you much more sometimes.” But it’s about how I’m not out to my parents bc I know they won’t like it 🫩

[justanerd1234]

Guys I fear I’m never getting off this bus. Every time I feel the hyperfixation starting to dissipate all it takes is like one really good edit, fic, or fanart and suddenly I’m experiencing Byler like it’s the first time all over again 🫩

[justanerd1234]

Okay so like I do not believe in conformity/meta/whatever it’s called gate anymore, haven’t for a long time, but I found a cool thing today.

So McDonald’s is currently doing tales from 85 happy meals. The store I work at just got to the Mike Wheeler ones.

I was curious at first what color each toy would be to see if they pulled a blue and yellow scheme at all. At first I thought they didn’t, bc El is yellow and the demo I think is blue but then I looked closer.

The will toy may not have been yellow but his name on the box was. Mikes name on his box is blue. I don’t remember the color of wills toy, but mikes is orange.

The box of Mike is literally him surrounded by conformity orange. And guess which number toy he is too?

7.

[justanerd1234]

Okay so genuine question for all my fellow fanfic freaks out there: where tf did the “Mike Wheeler has a big dick” come from? Bc it’s genuinely every lawless fic i read and I genuinely have to pause for a few seconds bc I cannot take it seriously.

[justanerd1234]

TADC promo suggesting no one has guessed the ending and I also am starting to see theories about Jax (you know, the emotionally repressed character a lot of people don’t like) being the key to everything and all I can think is that I’ve played these games before.

(Granted I trust gooseworx WAY more than the fucker brothers but still we were pretty damn confident about st5 and…well…)

[justanerd1234]

Bringing this back now that the ending has supposedly been leaked… don’t say I didn’t warn y’all 🤷‍♀️

Unless…of course…it’s a fakeout…

Conformity gate 2.0 anybody??? (Seeing some of these comments is giving me SERIOUS post vol 2 pre finale Déjà vu)

[justanerd1234]

Somebody sedate me I just saw a byler edit to Movies by Conan Gray posted to TikTok pre-season 5 and the comments were all hyped and hopeful 😭

[justanerd1234]

Womp womp the Duffer bros are compensating so hard and it shows. They don’t want to admit their show sucks lmao

Anyway, back to our regularly scheduled programming of fan content.

[justanerd1234]

So after putting it off for literally months now I finally read super soaker and holy shit it’s so peak I actually can’t-

Like I avoided it bc I’m not huge on fics that seem like they’re just smut for the sake of smut but the way it’s written is literally so beautiful like I literally forgot I was reading about two dudes fucking each other bc the prose is that pretty (and the plot itself is pretty fire too I’ve laughed out loud a lot lol)

Also freak for freak Byler 100% canon in my mind at this point and you can’t stop me.

[justanerd1234]

New chapter is up!
