the concept of michael wheeler witnessing chappell roan perform “good luck, babe!” at the vmas in full paladin drag

The thing about byler is that yeah in the end it became queerbait but it was never that. It makes me very angry that the Duffers are trying to recontexualize byler. "It was never in the cards". Bro you gave us the cards.

People shipped byler in S1-3 sure, but there is a reason why it exploded in S4. You wrote that. You destroyed mileven (your endgame ship) to prop up byler. You created a scenario where Mike and Eleven simply do not understand each other, actively lie, and are bad partners to each other to contrast with Will and Mike's deep and complex friendship. You made Mike's feelings ambiguous but had his actions speak volumes (gaslighting his gf while being able to actively apologize to his best friend).

I can't even call Season 4 queerbait because back then there was no huge byler audience to bait. You made byler big by pulling it out of the subtext and tying it to the main narrative. You used cinematography, composition, costuming, and visual cues to prop up Mike and Will's relationship. So much so that now you cannot make a romantic montage of your endgame ship without Will being in the same fucking frame. These were choices made by you, not the fans.

There is reason why the most popular episode of the entire series is the most byler-heavy, it's because you build that groundwork, you dealt those cards, and, of course, it worked. The general audience started shipping byler because the setup was VERY MUCH THERE.

You wrote byler and then you didn't deliver it. Don't ever gaslight me into thinking otherwise.

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.

The Sorcerer and The Heart

[willelworld]

do you guys remember when a lot of us theorized this was will giving up and sacrificing himself? whole time it’s actually will finding his inner strength by thinking about how loved he is. by accepting who he is and gaining power from it.

he thinks of meeting mike, of hanging with him in mike’s basement. he thinks of drawing for jonathan and joyce. of building castle byers. he thinks of the things that make him special - his creativity, playfulness and wonder and whimsy.

he is an artist. he is a sorcerer in a hat and robe. he is a good friend. he’s sweet and sensitive and thoughtful. he is a son and a brother. he is queer. he is STRONGER because of all of these things.

vecna called him weak, and he immediately said “no the fuck i’m not?” and drew on self-love and love for the people in his life, all to tap into his power and SAVE THEM.

if you dont love him at his

[significant-ace-nnoyance]

THE ENIGMA?? ALAN TURING???

oh my god i just know she made will feel so safe with that one line like. comparing will to a gay historial hero that he made a whole presentation about 🥺

that’s the subtle importance of queer community right there

[hawkinsschoolcounselor]

One part of this that I don't see mentioned much is the distinction Mike draws here. Will gets defensive, saying that he's only a wizard in D&D. However, instead of Mike laughing it off, he doubled down. True, Will the Wise is a Wizard, but Will Byers is a sorcerer. His powers are innate.

Mike is telling Will that everything that's good about him comes from inside of him, not something he's copying from somewhere else. When you think about it, it's exactly what Robin is about to tell him.

But there's another aspect to this. These two speak the same love language.

It's just like when Will used his D&D painting to let Mike know that he, not his D&D character, is inspirational. He's the heart. Everything good about Mike comes from inside him.

They both used D&D symbology to express how important the other is because of their innate qualities, that they see the other for who they are. This is the game where they acted out the people they always wished they could be. They both invoked it to let the other know that they achieved just that.

haven't posted here in ages but i have been byler PILED and I can't go one minute without thinking about st5 vol 1 or byler. so i needed to draw them

THAT SCENE IN S5E3 WITH WILL AND ROBIN. WHEN HE TELLS HER SHE COULD JUST KISS HER GIRLFRIEND AGAIN

LOOK AT HIM

He looks SO HAPPY. HIS EYES ARE JUST FILLED WITH LOVE, HAPPINESS, INTEREST, HOPE, ADMIRATION. He sees the beauty in Robin and Vicki's kiss, in their happiness

You can see that teenage wonder... that dreamy look... HE'S SO SMITTEN. And it's more than just curiosity. For a few seconds, he completely zones out, lost in a daydream. We can literally watch him as HE IS DREAMING OF THE SAME THING  (and oh, this boy will get that love and happiness)

That's the look of a boy who wants love and happiness so badly. It's the most pure, beautiful thing. My face actually hurts from smiling so much because of him. He just makes me glow with happiness I'M NOT FUCKING OKAY

[the-strangest-heart]

rip to max mayfield, who’s going to wake from her coma after having not seen will byers in person since eighth grade, to find that he’s hot now, has powers as fuck, and is also openly gay for that loser mike wheeler
