me trying to keep my words when someone says:

“i wish i was…”

“maybe in another universe…”

“i wish…”

ESPECIALLY ON TIKTOK

i haven’t been on tumblr in a long time i’m still in mourning 🫩

[ibrakeforrainbows]

they could’ve denied that byler was happening YEARS ago btw but they decided to string us along for profit

[remstrrs]

byler's not stupid. it's not my fault your wife divorced you!

congrats duffers for fucking up so many queer ppls favorite show

honestly i’m mad at some of the actors too like caleb and gaten for laughing at byler and ppl who ship it i find it very disgusting how many of them acted like we pulled byler out of our asses

they wanted us to think they were building up byler in vol 1 knowing they were never gonna make them canon what a fucking disgrace

i just keep imagining the duffers laughing at us in the writers room

i’ve been called a fetishizer, a pedo, the f-slur, the r-slur, and a lot more all for shipping byler and defending them for YEARS <this is the type of audience the duffers ended up catering to after claiming the show was for outcasts and the marginalized

The real slap in the face was Dustin saying “fuck the system” after the most generational queerbait possibly ever

[themaxbyers]

the worst thing ever about byler not happening is that this just means will was used to prop up milevens heterosexual relationship and that all this really was was him slowly watching his best friend morph into an asshole who didn’t have time for him anymore when they grew up

[eeriesilkworm]

I'm... so confused?

What was the purpose of the scene about queer signals, if Will was never going to receive queer signals? Why was the question concerned with the obviousness of signals, and not the mere presence of them? Why use the term "shared looks" when that was a known call and response on set for Noah and Finn?

What was the meaning of the snowball and avalanche metaphor? Why include that scene at all? Where was the payoff?

You're going to write an entire meta scene on queer signals of attraction, include examples that we have already observed, indicate an eventual pay off... and not let it pay off? Why? To be malicious?

You tell the audience through Will that Mike was just his Tammy this entire time and expect us to believe it? Was Tammy in Robin's video tape? Did Robin know Tammy since she was five? Did Tammy run after her in the rain or recognize her breathing over the radio?

And Will Byers never got kissed. Will Byers witnessed queer love, queer joy, and queer intimacy through a kiss at the beginning of the season, wanting that for himself because he's a romantic... and never even got kissed. Not even by his epilogue boyfriend.

fuck the duffers what they did is so disgusting

[image-friend]

mike was just a self-insert. what the duffers meant by "a show for outcasts" they meant awkward white guys with nerdy interests who couldn't talk to women. it was no wonder that the only girl mike had a chance with was a girl who was so closed off from society that she didn't know what she wanted. there was no way they were going to give mike a gay romance with will because they're straight incel men. that's part of why mike had no real personality. they needed to project onto him.

i just watched the finale and i wanted to say it was the absolute worst ending i’ve ever seen in my entire life

they queerbatied the hell out of us and i can’t believe they really think mike was just wills tammy

but byler aside the WHOLE vol 2 and ending made NO SENSE i’m actually in shock of how bad it is i was crying and laughing idc if that’s dramatic i’ve been watching the show since i was 13 and i’m 20 now and feel like the duffers just spat on ALL of us

i don’t know what else to say right now i’m just so shocked because of how horrible it was

'Twas the night before byler endgame..

[ibrakeforrainbows]

Last sightings of Mike wheeler before he died

[keisintheclouds]

i feel sick

[byerswheeler]

i miss when mike wheeler was a well written complex character who showed emotion

[keisintheclouds]

if byler doesn’t happen the duffers are actually so fucking weird

like what about all the parallels byler had with the canon couples? what about all the blue and yellow imagery? why couldn’t mike hug will at the airport?what about the “you never say it” “i say it” vs “i didn’t say it” “you didn’t have to” parallel? what about the closet imagery? what about mike looking at wills lips every other damn scene?? why go through so much effort showing us how different mike treats will from everyone else just for it to be a nothing burger with some nothing fries???

if byler isn’t endgame then mike is just a homophobe and horrible friend cause why tf was he saying “it’s not my fault you don’t like girls!” just cause will was calling him out and “we’re friends, we’re friends!” when will was just upset about mike being a bitch to him if he’s not gay?!? he was literally just being rude asl for shits and giggles atp 😒

i honestly had no byler doubt after vol 2 as soon as will said mike was his tammy i thought they were purposely trying to misdirect us and i was so confident they were endgame until i saw what the suffer brothers and noah said in the interviews after 🫩 literally the most ridiculous shit i’ve ever seen in a show before
