I like stranger things

To the bylers who love/d churchgate, theres a thai series called ticket to heaven which is a series set in 1996 about two catholic boys who begin a romantic relationship, I’m unsure whether it’s pro or anti religion but the first episode airs on May 30th on the gmmtv official youtube channel.

This whole thing about making the epilogue boyfriend seem like an abusive jerk is pretty gross, but I often see another take - that Mike can mess up as much as he wants, and Will would just ditch any relationship, even a good one, the second Mike shows up because they’re “soulmates” and meant to be. Honestly, I don’t even know what I dislike more lol. It feels like all of Will’s progress in loving and respecting himself gets thrown out the window just because Mike, who hasn’t really changed or reflected, snaps his fingers, and Will drops a caring, loving partner for the sake of “destiny”… I understand the drama potential, but it just doesn’t sit right with me, I don’t know…

It actually pisses me off so much when people try to replace will with el in the fwgcu, like the g is in there for a reason 🫩 finn has other roles where he’s in heterosexual relationships, go do this with those ones idk ^^

i hope mike wheeler and his evil wife have two non identical twin daughters born in 2006-2009. i hope mikes wife has an aunt or mother named willow who she insists on naming one of the twins after. the other twin is called holly or something. i hope willow and holly are best friends regardless of their, admittedly, diverging interests.

i hope holly becomes a nice, basic, popular girl who really likes music. i hope she starts out her music career listening to taylor swift, olivia rodrigo, the basics. i hope her favorite taylor swift song becomes seven and that she can be found blaring it repeatedly from her bedroom at random hours of the day. getting ready for school? seven by taylor swift. reading before bed? seven by taylor swift. then i hope when chappell roan comes around, holly treats her like she’s a literal god descended. good luck babe really blows holly’s mind- she plays it just as much as she once played seven, and, just like when she used to play seven, she won’t notice how her dad sucks in a breath every time the chorus comes around. what really gets holly though is the subway. when holly hears chappell play the subway for the first time in that statue of liberty outfit, she completely tweaks out. instantly her favorite song she’s ever had. forces mike and willow to listen to it on the car ride to school every day for at least six months. this causes mike to start every day off wallowing in deep pits of despair and nostalgia for a reason that he’s finally starting to recognize. then holly will get into some older music after her best friend wren does. holly and wren can be found blasting tears for fears or depeche mode or the cure every time they hang out together, scored by youthful, careless laughter. one day holly discovers the clash. i hope mike knows it’s coming from the first time he hears her play the opening notes to rock the casbah, and i hope when holly eventually does end up discovering should i stay or should i go, mike can’t help but choke up. well, choke up is generous. mike can’t help but sob.

willow, on the other hand, i hope becomes a little more alternative. willow keeps her hair to her shoulders instead of long like her sister. she’s shorter than holly. willow has an affinity for storytelling. she’s got the greatest hands in the world and never stops sketching. mike, while watching her work, sometimes begrudgingly recalls the image of joyce watching a young will draw. willow goes to school and doesn’t have the immediate social success holly does. she’s left out, plays alone with sticks and leaves instead of on the playground. by the time she gets to first grade, mike and his evil wife are starting to think it might be a problem. that’s when, on the first day of first grade, holly comes clattering into the car declaring that willow has made best friends with the new girl. and low and behold- mike looks out of the car window to the playground and sees his daughter listening intently to a girl who is a whole head taller than her, swinging on the swings. the girl’s name is margo. margo and willow are immediate best friends. willow doesn’t talk much, but margo speaks for her. willow draws the pictures, margo writes the stories that go along with them. i hope mike watches willow and margo learn the ins and outs of each other, what every kind of breath means, what every quirk of eyebrow indicates. i hope mike watches as these two girls complete each other in a way that mike has only ever seen two people do once in his life. i hope that one foreign day when willow and holly are twelve, willow takes three hours longer than expected to bike home. i hope mike is sent into multiple different types of tailspins, just for her to have taken a stop at one of her other friends houses. i hope that, a few years later, mike walks downstairs to see willow and margo watching it 2017. of course mike knows the story, he’s a novelist, after all, but something about the concept of the 2017 movie hits so ridiculously close to home that he’s left hovering over the girls, hand shaking on the top of the couch. and of course, it’s because of richie tozier. it’s absolutely uncanny. they look exactly alike. mike, as an admittedly talented writer, picks up on the queer coding easily and is left with his lip quivering and goosebumps on his arm. the next weekend he repeats the routine watching the second one, and, again, cries at the notion of the r+e reveal. while all this is happening, mike doesn’t even notice the way willow and margo are grabbing each others hands, sharing the same blanket. so six months later when a sixteen year old willow sits her family down around the dinner table and comes out as a lesbian, reveals the true nature of her and margo’s relationship, holly and mikes evil wife hug her first. so stunned and traumatized that he can’t do much more than nod and stare blankly, mike flames out aggressively during his own daughter’s coming out. he then drives around and sobs until he’s sick to his stomach. there willow and margo go getting everything he was always too afraid to try for.

god i miss when season 5 wasnt out

[maxamiso]

rest in peace Will Byers. In another universe your love wasn’t used to fix and resolve a crumbling heterosexual relationship 💛

[maxamiso]

I’m like starting to come to terms that the coming out scene actually happened and it wasnt just something i made up, rip will byers you would hate the people who wrote you 💔

[deckerswheeler]

Will literally got tortured into coming out to an entire group of people because he was so scared of vecna using his sexuality against him and we’re supposed to feel gratified ??? We’re supposed to feel seen and understood by this?? You can tell two straight men wrote this shit…

[maxamiso]

I would be fine with a non byler endgame if the coming out scene wasnt the most forced, rushed peice of bullshit i’ve ever seen. This feels like a mockery.

[maxamiso]

that was the most bullshit coming out scene i’ve ever seen, robin gets a private, heartfelt, non rushed coming out scene which makes sense and feels like good writing meanwhile will is sat infront of literally everyone else, speaking at a robin + vickie pace and just casually goes “i don’t like girls, mike’s my tammy” and then they hug and what? Is that it? Screw this show.

[maxamiso]

I’m starting to think the stancy in season 5 is there to portray to us what one sided love really looks like so when we analyse we realize that it contrasts byler and how byler is not an accurate depiction of “one sided love”

i love tumblr

[maxamiso]

I honestly can’t wait for stranger things to end so all the mean ga leave and we can go back to doing things without being called slurs as often

Either I have a bomb ass Christmas, like the best one ever, or I go into psychosis and check myself into a mental hospital.

I don’t ship byler because I believe it will be canon, as much as I believe it should be canon and it only makes sense for it to be canon I just don’t trust the duffer brothers. I ship byler because it’s ultimately the better option in comparison to mileven and that’s undeniable, not only are Mike and Will 10x more compatible than Mike and Eleven are but byler happening would make so much sense narratively since they’re essentially the new Creelby. Mike being the driving force behind Will breaking free from the mind flayer and gay love essentially saving the world will explore destiny as a theme, which the concept of destiny is precisely what Mike uses to define what Mileven is not in season 4. Byler is what mileven shippers make Mileven out to be, and Byler becoming canon would explore so many uncommon themes within mainstream media and would shed light on queer people and queer love stories in ways never done before. Like Maya Hawke said, your homophobic uncle Rick can’t avoid stranger things the way that he could avoid something else.
