This is the funniest shit I've read, I love this book

[lil-the-notverywise]

Anyone know the etiquette of realising someone's fic has plagiarised another, basically word for word? Like do I tell the og fic author or do I ask the person who plagiarised if I'm mistaken since it seems very similar to *insert og fic*.

Why are self takes so hard😭 just recorded the same video 22 times and it was only 30 seconds

What do you guys think of a Sirius black/marauders coded neglected reader.?

I'm ngl I'm not a writer but I tried my best with a little section for when the reader runs away (like sirius does in year 5) if anyone would be interested in reading that. But if someone else wants to write it please feel free to do so (just tag me!)

I can make a separate post with some base ideas I had of the concept as well as other stuff like moodboards or playlists or something (I'm bored with no uni what can I say)

[lil-the-notverywise]

and also both Blazer and Visi are white? even if she has a darker skin tone than Robert i am like 90% sure Visi is white not poc so the person that white argument falls flat cuz the 2 option the gane has are white!?

LITERALLY! The diversity in the game is one of my bigger issues with it and this just made me even more annoyed with the commenter lmao

[lil-the-notverywise]

Just got told in a comment section that I just want want white boys kissing when I said I wanted flambé as an option for Robert...IS FLAMBE NOT AFGHANI??

Also accused me of not wanting actual rep like bro...I'm queer. The whole reason why I want flambé as an option is because they had chemistry and it would be interesting to explore their dynamic, going from enemies to working together despite animosity to lovers. Also, like the og post was saying, the game falls flat when it comes to it's inclusively despite priding itself on having a queer character. Like congrats, you made him gay, but you did nothing else with that?? Having him as an actual option would make sm more sense.

The angst would be so much worse if they were starting a romantic connection before Robert revealed he was mechaman to the group. Imagine how betrayed flambé would feel in that moment.

I LOVE BONDING WITH OTHER QUEER PEOPLE RAHHHHH

My friend from uni saw a repost of mine around aroace pride day and it launched a full convo on how they're also aroace (I thought they were just ace) and it felt SO GOOD to be understood and know someone else who's like me.

HAPPY PRIDE TO EVERYONE

[lil-the-notverywise]

Your telling me it was totally platonic that both Mike and Will saved each other with the same memory...said memory being the time they first met

Okay sure. Anyway happy pride.

New byler au I created off of a wim

(Someone come up with a ship name I suck😭)

I'm a firm believer that instead of Holly being taken in S5, it should've been Erica (or Mike).

With Erica, we could've explored the Sinclair sibling dynamic a lot more considering it barely happens in the tv show (compared to the white sibling duos e.g. will/jonathon, Mike/Nancy).

It would have also given them the opportunity to explore how Lucas feels about his little sister being dragged into the upside down mess. With the aforementioned sibling relationships, the younger siblings where the entire reason why the older ones were in that situation, so they can't really tell them to stay out of it when they're the centre of the issues (e.g. s2, will being possessed etc).

But with Lucas and Erica, he has full authority to keep his little sister safe, but was unable to and now he has to deal with the ramifications of this whilst dealing with his friends' issues as well. We never actually see him get mad at the scoops troop for dragging his little sister into a Russian base and risking her life, nor do we truly see how he felt on s4 seeing his friends decide to play DND with his sister instead of going to his game and supporting him.

This then gets worse in s5 when they're barely together, Lucas as a character is centered around Max and Erica is reduced to the sassy black woman stereotype with little to no screen time.

It would have also been really interesting to see proper discussions of race happen between the 2 characters, and how that plays into their story. It always annoyed me that people just brush over that interaction Erica had in s4 with Jason when he was looking for Lucas as her just being sassy. That would have been terrifying for her, especially considering the mental state Jason was in.

Plus, with Erica in Henry's mindscape, trapped in memories with Max, we coukd jave explored their dynamic too, something that is not done in the show despite Max literally dating her older brother. They could've given Erica a more complex character arc, showing her to be the one who's actually scared and puts on a brave face and issues she's surely also faced like Lucas did in the earlier seasons (Troy and Billy).

Overall, it just would've been nice to explore the sinclair siblings in way more depth instead of sidelining them for the rich middle class white family.

(I'll do another post as to why Mike would have also been a good replacement for Holly's character, if anyone would want that)

Just saw a tiktok showing how in the comics Will drove the demo away, sacrificing his freedom so nancy could escape in s1

IM BALLING WILL BYERS YOU WILL AWAYS BE SO PRECIOUS TO ME

[lil-the-notverywise]

I didn't watch the new animated show, for good reason, but I get clips here and there on my fyp cause of the algorithm.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY HAD DUSTIN SAY "I guess I'd like the idea of another adventure"

...

ADVENTURE???

Will was fucking kidnapped and assaulted for an entire week, El was beaten and abused her entire childhood and had to kill so many people just to survive, jonathon had to plan a funeral for his little brother whilst believeing it was his fault he went missing, Nancy lost her best friend and also believed it was her fault, the party literally watched as they saw their friend's body (fake, but they didn't know that) get pulled from a lake, Mike jumped off a cliff, El "died" in front of the party, Will was possessed by an evil being again, used to kill multiple people, killed the guy his mum had been seeing and the nicest father figure he'd ever had, almost died and got burnt, and SO MUCH MORE

But sure duffers, let's keep pushing this nostalgia/fun/fantasy idea onto the show.

[averytauntingletter]

i will never be convinced that lucas' storyline in season 4 of st is not a tragedy. a young black boy feels as if he must give up the interests that he has held all his life and that he loves and that are a part of him and become a part of something more socially acceptable just so that he wouldn't have to get bullied and treated horribly and he wouldn't be the victim of racism anymore...oh my son. having to be on the same basketball team that fell all over themselves trying to impress billy hargrove the year before, the man that attacked him and hated him for the crime of being black and wanting to befriend a girl because he doesnt want to worry about getting hate-crimed in the street. everytime someone boils him down to playing basketball a flower dies he would much prefer to be playing dnd and indulging in the interests he's had for years with the friends he's had for years but he feels as though he must play basketball because basketball is safe and basketball offers protection and social capital and basketball players dont get accused of being in cults and dont get beat up by men 5 years older than them

oh lucas sinclair the duffers could never write you correctly

[bean-there-before]

ive been thinking about lucas so much recently. i love him so much he deserves more of my brain space actually. especially ive been thinking about during season 4 when he tells the team that erica's the one who likes d&d and not him. ignoring for a moment the sadness that he has to put away one of his favorite things in the world for his own physical safety i'm now considering him post season 4 finale finding out that jason went to his house and talked to erica. and yeah he didn't do anything then but i can't imagine how lucas would feel knowing he put his sister in danger rather than himself.

also rewatching that scene where jason is talking to erica, it's so scary. she tries to close the door multiple times and he pushes it back open and you can see these moments where both of their facades crack just a little bit. you can see erica's snarkiness go away and her fear at this white man who is significantly older than her hit at the same time that you see jason's polite small town smile falter just a little bit

[lil-the-notverywise]

Will byers could never be me because what do you mean your best friend and love of your life whipped out "it's not my fault you don't like girls" in an argument that's completely unrelated to your sexuality, never got a proper apology for said comment (or at least we never see one, which is insane btw, considering the nature of the comment), get dragged back into supernatural nonsense that has tormented you since you were 11, moved away from all your friends and ignored by aforementioned best friend and love of your life, then when you finally see him again (ON YOUR BIRTHDAY) you get an awkward ass side hug and then ignored the entire day with EVERYONE FORGETTING YOUR BIRTHDAY, but you can't say anything cause your sister is going through more pressing issues and have learnt to hide your feelings away all your life.

Then, you once again get possessed by your abuser, get forced to come out to everyone and their mother just for it to not even mean anything and then get reduced to just being gay by your bestie/love of your life.

AND YOU'RE STILL SMILING AND NOT LASHING OUT AT ANYONE??? YOU NEVER ONCE GOT A PROPER APOLOGY FOR ANYTHING

(Can any fanfic writers please write will byers crashing out and finally getting justice against all those who have wronged him FOR THE LOVE OF GOD).

[lil-the-notverywise]

This is such a cinematic, emotional shot for apparently NO REASON.

But no, the break up between mileven is the one we're meant to take as more devestating ig???

[lil-the-notverywise]

Casually scrolling through the byler tag with jacksepticeye on in the background when suddenly I hear "like will byers hiding from the demogorgon"

SEAN HOW'D YOU KNOW WHAT I WAS DOING 🤨

I love freaky coincidences like this
