I Didn’t Say It @nananoki - Tumblr Blog

I have still not watched Will Byers coming out scene in full to this day and I hope to keep it that way

#I watched ts at 1AM right when vol2 dropped and skipped it bc it was too cringe inducing 😭#I’m srry I js rlly hate how the scene was handled #sometimes simpler is better #that’s why robins coming out scene worked #and ig hers wasn’t anticipated or set up so there were less expectations #whilst Will had been confirmed gay for 3yrs prior coming out scene #byler #stranger things #mike wheeler #will byers #i hate queerbait #anti duffer brothers #will byers deserves better

I still remember when the byler subreddit was getting 120k+ weekly visits in the lead up to vol2

#as much as some ppl think it might be byler isn’t that niche lol #I still remember taking screenshots of how much r/byler was growing everyday lol #I rlly miss that time #byler #will x mike #byler nation #stranger things #will byers #mike wheeler

I can’t be the only one who starts planning what to comment under a fic I rlly like whilst reading it

#literally reading the new chapter from New Perspective and doing this #which I highly recommend that fic #newperspectivebylerfic #byler #byler fics #ao3 #will byers #mike wheeler

my parents keep telling me “you used to read so much, why don’t you read anymore??”

but I do read…. I read a lot. Ive prolly read more words than they ever had in their entire lives. But I genuinely cannot tell them that

"Soooo what was the best part of stranger things s5?"

"The t-mobile ad"

#lol I remember when we were practically feeding off of this ad until the trailer #I miss those days #byler #st5 #stranger things

Happy Byler day to everyone who hit a depressive episode after that fuckass queerbait 🥰 💙💛

Literally the Cali plot:

Will: you know, even tho I'm in love with Mike, I'm not going to do anything about it because he's with El, and I want both of them to be happy :)

Mike: *death gripping Will's shoulders* PLEASE JUST TELL ME TO BREAK UP WITH HER PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

#this is literally it omg #I swear the bedroom scene was Mike subtly implying he and el are done #and Will being like nooo u guys r so perfect together haha #byler #stranger things #“we're friends”#do you know that mike?#< prev tags

Forget Byler not being canon for a moment.

The real insulting part is how we were treated for thinking it would be.

Will: How can you know if someone likes you?

Robin: *lists off things Mike always does with Will and continues to do after this conversation*

Will: *gets a look of realization and proceeds to openly flirt with Mike despite "moving on" from him multiple times in past seasons*

Duffers, Cast, and Crew Members: Why did people think Mike liked Will? He's just a good friend. It was never even hinted. It's so funny that people thought they'd get together. It wouldn't even have been earned.

Fuck you.

#nah they did us dirty #also this implied el and mike weren’t together or going thru smth #bc why else would Will have all this confidence #if they wanted to do this arc it should’ve been in s3 #byler #st5

Never forgiving Shawn Levvy for this btw

#and ppl still have the audacity to say we weren’t led on 😭#srry for the amount of reminiscing lately I’ve js been getting flashbacks #7 months since the finale and I’m still pissed #part of me believes that in the original concept of s5 there was a byler angst plot #byler #stranger things #mike wheeler #will byers #i hate queerbait #byler nation

Sometimes I remember how I used to spend hours everyday on r/byler screenshotting ppls evidence/comments and adding my own annotations for why byler was gonna b canon and I can’t help but mourn the amount of hope I (we) had

#we had way too much trust in the duffers bro #and Shawn levy never forget his crimes to the community #byler #stranger things #mike wheeler #will byers #i hate queerbait #byler fandom #byler nation

The fact there’s barely any wondertwins in s5 let alone the whole series is a crime

#one of the most interesting dynamics imo #such a missed opportunity #I’m glad the fandom at least cares abt them #and I love when their sibling bond is in fics #wondertwins #willel #stranger things #will byers #el jane hopper

Idk if this is a hot take but I feel like the byler fandom has rlly changed from how it used to be after the influx of lawless byler after the finale.

And yeah it could js b bc the show is over and we don’t rlly have anything to theorize anymore (unless u believe in CG) but I don’t feel the same passion I once did for byler and it makes me feel realy sad tbh bc so much of the ship has changed for how it once was (for me).

I’ll always think that the s4-vol1 era was the best time in the byler fandom (especially post vol1 pre vol2) and I’ll always miss it.

Also wanna clarify I don’t think that lawless byler had “ruined” the fandom but I think a lot of the new discourse has been a side effect of byler becoming lawless. Additionally, I don’t read or enjoy smut so I feel like I’m missing out on a lot of content and stuff in the fandom tbh (e.g. ttmd;ttms)

Altho there are a few byler fics that I’m still reading currently so it’s not all bad, as well as the amazing artists in the fandom who keep creating despite everything

#idk man it js feels so bleak after the finale #I mean for like 4 months I was still engaged in fan content bc I was so depressed #but I’ve started to move onto other ships #I feel like in a way I’m betraying the fandom #when in reality I think the year I spent hyper focused on byler everyday has caught up and drained me #like srsly it kept me from being a normal functioning person lol #byler #byler fandom #stranger things #will byers #mike wheeler #I’m also sick of ppl mischaracterizing them all the time #before and after s5

Im so grateful I dont and never will read smut fics bc Ive fortunantly never read a word of that ai generated slop

#yes im talking abt super soaker #btw no shade to rhose who read smut #its js not my thing #fuck ai #byler #anti ai #fanfic

Just a reminder: if you use AI to generate art, you are not an artist and you will never be an artist. You are a content generator.

You are not a writer. You are not an artist. You are not a musician. You are not a part of the backbone that builds the essence of human culture. You are capitalizing on it like a colonialist.

his posture worsening over the years,,, brother just another me

#posture twins #mike wheeler #stranger things #byler

Am I the only one who hates it when ppl make Mike “only gay for Will” like he’s allowed to express attraction to other guys whilst still being w Will (e.g. celebrity crushes)

And this can be applied to ships and bl/gl in general it feels so weird to me and it’s like the characters aren’t allowed to have a sexuality outside their love interest (if that makes any sense)

“dad, why wasn’t byler canon?”

#bc the duffer brothers kept generating chatGPT responses w byler so they had to nuke it #and bc they self insert themselves into Mike for sum reason #mike wheeler #will byers #byler #stranger things
