...

Back to my spree on the sims to make my hyperfixations get together i guess

[nicheofmyown]

Unrelated to my usual posts, but where are the cows in Zootopia?

There are dairy products...ice cream. But where are the cows?

[nicheofmyown]

Anyone else just have a really good day and then suddenly remember how most of the cast of Stranger Things was probably confused af that byler didn't happen?

Making My Other Hyperfixations Byler Somehow Part 1: Ballad of Jane Doe

Either Emily Rohm's or Ashlyn Maddox's Version (but also listen to this damn note!)

Will Byers was never found AU!, where Vecna has Will "working for" him. So Will has amnesia but still feels something is wrong. He just wishes he knew what.

Plus, I just love this damn song.

[nicheofmyown]

So the visual is this

I'm at my second job. It's a slow day, so I'm reading fanfiction, WHILE helping people in ways beyond my job, mind you (in case my boss finds this and somehow knows it's me), while my coworker is loudly watching a streaming channel.

Right.

I'm reading "The Forgetting" by HJolly, not something to be read in public if you're an easy crier like me. And I start tearing up a bit. Cause. Yk? But otherwise I'm quiet and demure.

Anyway, so I'm minding my business, not commenting on their fucking video playing at 100% while at work in front of guests, right? So I'm doing their job for them despite not being guest-facing here.

So my coworker sends a guest over to me (cause they're not doing shit), and this guest sees me mid-chapter, I look up, face fully looking like I'm season 1 Joyce Byers with the lights but also mid-sob, and they turn around, no comment.

Five minutes later my boss asks if I need help...

Long story short, thank you, fanfiction, for showing that my boss is concerned not with my mental health but with my sanity...

But that's besides the point, the point actually is: which angsty fanfiction should I read in public next?

byler is the cure 💙💛

[sawyer-bailey]

thumblr,, why must you do this???

[nicheofmyown]

Guys...

DUDES

[idontknowhowtodance]

This is your sign to post that byler fic you've been letting rot in ur drafts. Write that oneshot. Come up with that byler variant. It will be worth it!!

[nicheofmyown]

Update, btw: Byler is number one now, but don't stop! Keep writing for the love of it!!

[nicheofmyown]

Byler Cinematic Universe but make it

ConformityGate

So, Vecna is trying to keep them "asleep," essentially, but EVERY time Mike and Will find each other (and get together), his plan fails. So Henry creates new realities, and we go from ALL our Byler AUs.

OR

Some different fandom aus?

Byler as Anastasia? As the Owl House? As She-Ra? Twilight? Tadc? Spider-Verse? The Little Mermaid? Enemies to Lovers? Hunger Games? Etc.

Fairly certain someone wrote something like this, and once I find it, I'll link it.

BONUS: if Lumax clocks them in every universe

[nicheofmyown]

EMERGENCY (not but still)

HELP! My Byler focus is slipping to work like an adult and I don't actually want that

[nicheofmyown]

Alright News Update Cause I Guess I'm the Fanfic Reporter With Mental Problems:

HOLY SH-

[nicheofmyown]

EDIT: Pinning this to set the blog theme. This is a safe space. I don't care what you do (if you drink, if you're sober, if you're from Mars or the U.S. or Antarctica, ride unicorns, etc), who you are, who you love, so long as you're kind to both YOURSELF AND OTHERS here.

Bylers, slightly personal but something I'm proud of

BECAUSE this community helped (unintentionally but it REALLY REALLY did)

As of today, I'm 100 days sober. I beat my previous 60-day streak and am almost doubling it.

There were fics I wanted to appreciate sober (and better when I read them as such), art that distracted from cravings, and online friends that made me want to be the best version of myself.

Thank you so so much!

Love you all!

[nicheofmyown]

Update: GUYS!!!

barely 100

wtf?!?!?!?

[whylee-wheeler]

And in case you weren't already angry enough about her death, she hated loud noises and the last thing she ever heard was an explosion

[nicheofmyown]

It makes me feel better that Joyce and Will rarely (if ever) raised their voices with her!

But also damnit, op!

[fandumsmidood]

What do we think Mike and Will would think about Silver Springs? Can someone please draw the iconic video scene???

Mike on guitar, Will on vocals, Dustin vibing on drums in the back

Lmao imagine Dustin (or Lucas) in the back

[nicheofmyown]

LOVE THIS!
