every day I learn bot comments on ao3 are stooping lower and lower
anyway if you get a comment like this, chances are that they are bot and their goal is to do whatever it takes to get you to delete your work, most certainly (from what I’ve heard) it’s because they want to “safely” steal your work, use it to train their ai without you being able to rightfully claim ownership of your work since “there’s no proof that the work was stolen/was posted elsewhere first by you” because the original source has already been deleted.
THEY ARE ALL BOTS. at first it was “ao3 is deleting fics and your entire account will be affected unless you delete the fics yourself” then it was “this work contains contents that are illegal and they have already reported you and your fic to the police” (yes, that’s how desperate these bots are), and now it’s this.
report their comments to ao3 for spam—in this case, specifically, I think you may be able to report them for harassment too—and don’t pay attention to them, most importantly don’t delete your works, don’t feel discouraged by their comments. remember that they are bots and they mass comment something like this on people’s works at random to get people to delete their works. (or even if they’re not bot, they are still pathetic bullies who don’t deserve your time or attention.)

i think people flatten “queerbait” into “a character isn’t canonically gay,” when that’s not what the term is critiquing. it’s about how a narrative uses queer-coded dynamics, longing, framing, subtext, emotional mirroring, to generate drama and emotional stakes, and then ultimately refuses to resolve the tension it deliberately built.
byler wasn’t just fans projecting onto two boys who happen to be friends. the show constructed that dynamic through its craft: cinematography, blocking, lighting palettes (the pink sky isn’t accidental), the van monologue, the parallels to established romantic arcs, the score cues, the way scenes are framed to echo heterosexual love stories. these are not neutral choices. they’re the visual and emotional grammar of romance.
and when a narrative leans into those signals, when it deploys queer coded longing to heighten conflict, deepen character arcs, or raise emotional stakes, it’s inviting queer audiences to read that coding as intentional. that’s the whole point of film language. so the issue isn’t “will is gay but not with mike.” the issue is that the show used queer coded tension as a storytelling engine and then withheld resolution. that’s the textbook structure of queerbaiting: exploiting queer subtext for narrative payoff while denying the characters any actual payoff.
fandom is absolutely about interpretation and choice, but it’s also about critique. engaging with a text means acknowledging the signals it sends and the emotional investments it asks for. dismissing all of that as “you chose to read it that way” ignores the fact that the show itself crafted those beats and invited that investment through its framing.
“it’s forced conformity,
that’s what’s killing the kids.”
OH OH ONE MORE THING!
will’s love for mike wasn’t reduced to a crush, Will reduced it to a crush, to make it easier for his friends. because, yeah, everyone has crushes, crushes are innocent, right? right
but what would happen if instead of ‘I had a crush on someone’, will had said ‘I was in love with someone’ and then followed it by ‘he’? questions would be asked. uncomfortable ones. and while will has come to terms with mike possibly figuring him out, he doesn’t want to be pitied. saying he’s in love would expose a lot more emotional pain and torture than saying he has a crush already did.
mike isn’t just a crush, will is just unwilling to show all of his cards like that. and honestly, good for him.
They didn’t show us the Will visions and what Vecna showed him enough to scare him so bad into coming out like that because it had to do with Mike and they’ll show it in the finale when Mike confesses he’s fucking gay and they- *I was then shot 57 times*
No that's what I'm saying! The whole "he was just my Tammy" shit and Will downplaying his feelings to try to move on from Mike AGAIN (ripping off the bandaid, if you will) so he doesn't get hurt but Vecna doesn't buy it is the perfect setup. And also the fact that Will was flat out saying he KNOWS Mike isn't like him? Sweetie, honey, my beautiful boy, you never gave him a chance to say whether or not he is like you! It's the PERFECT set up! The ultimate Chekov's gun! The-
NO BECAUSE WHY WOULD WILL SAY HE KNOWS FOR SURE MIKE DOESNT FEEL THE SAME AND THEN THEY NEVER LET MIKE ACTUALLY RESPOND OR LET US SEE HIS POV OF THIS ENTIRE LOVE TRIANGLE?!!!!?!!!?
It’s the only thing that makes sense atp. He literally has to be fucking gay and pushed to confess now that he knows Will is in love with him. Like he HAS to, the story will make no goddamn sense otherwise!!
Why would they refuse to show mikes pov for 3 seasons unless byler is endgame in the finale and we get mikes pov then and-
They literally wrapped up all the couples except for the WillElMike love triangle in the penultimate episode, if Mike was going to reject Will I fully believe we would've gotten a scene about that, if they're holding this conversation off until the last episode it feels like there HAS to be because Mike returns Will's feelings
they did say in that article that the finale is the most character-focused episode, and supposedly mike (and maybe will) is paired up with jonathan and robin which is sus in itself. so i have hope
i got no words
There is no way a snowball to an avalanche is a boy named Carlton popping in at the last 20 minutes of the series LMAOOOO
will hogs the blanket and says stuff like "noooo..... the cold.... my hivemind...." and mike goes "you can't use your hivemind as an excuse for everything" while letting him hog the blanket
pack it up, homotron
i love how erica is saying it in such a logical matter-of-fact way and then there's mike who is lowkey threatening to attack lucas
Ross Duffer confirming there is an emotional reveal in Volume 2.😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
when your circle small but yall crazy and gay 🤣🤣🙏🙏
I just want it to be over — I was permanently changed
byler in their own damn world lmfao
i’m begging y’all to stop using chatgpt (in general) but also stop asking chatgpt for byler proof, it is absolutely meaningless. it is a waste of water and energy, plssss just keep engaging with the real ppl it is stealing words from who are analyzing the show themselves instead of asking a calculator with a typewriter what it thinks of a show it cannot possibly watch.
