lmaoooooo so a video popped up on my TikTok of a story time of some guy trying to buy his wife tampons and some woman going up to him thinking he was a trans man saying, “see? you’ll always be a woman!”

and he turned to the woman like “I’m buying tampons for my wife because I’m a good fucking husband. do you think if they were for me, I’d look this lost about where the brand is she wants?” he shut her up so fast lmfao. and she walked away looking pale and teary because transphobic people always have to play the victim.

(but also this is what I mean when I say transphobia can affect anyone and being transphobic literally takes over your mind. you cannot think critically at all about anything to do with gender or sex and anyone diverting from the image you have of how things are in your black and white world view is automatically The Enemy)

they knew Will was going to be gay since before netflix took the show, in season 2 Will already had a crush on Mike because it's even in the script and they decided in season two to make it clear that Mike and Will have a really different relationship than all the others, more intimate and they understand each other and support each other many times during the whole season, Mike touches Will's hand and they decided to focus on it with the camera... they made Mike do a freaking monologue for Will, super intimate and emotional for both of them... they knew they wanted this storyline about Will having feelings for Mike since the start and still showed that Mike even having clearly feelings for a girl is way more attentive to Will than anyone else in season 1 & 2... then we go to season 3 and they make Will and Mike have a super emotional fight in the rain that is literally what happens in romantic movies usually... at the same time they portray the relationship that Mike is in as almost frivolous and childish and Mike is finding it difficult to express his feelings + is acting different and leaving his true self behind, thing that they showed Nancy do in season 1 for Steve... they explicitly made both Barb and Jonathan point this out to her... how she was acting different because of Steve... like Mike was doing in s3... jump to season 4 and Mike and El are both pretending to be cooler than they are and lying/omitting to say the ily, at the same time Will and Mike have a SECOND big emotional fight and lots of emotional conversations, heart to hearts with the interruption trope, Will is being the emotional fluffer in Mike's relationship and keeping them together basically by lying about the painting + Mike and Will get paired together all season and El and Mike have a BIG awful fight were they both invalidate the feelings of the other person... Mike makes a love monologue prompted by Will and then they don't show any cute milkvan scene after that, El doesn't react on screen at all except she looks weird at Mike in the cabin and isolates herself....

WHAT THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO THINK IF NOT THAT THEY ARE WRITING BYLER ENDGAME SINCE SEASON 2 AT LEAST???????

anon asked: FAVORITE BYERS BROTHERS SCENES

[will80sbyers]

I will say this thing and I am right about this

Will does not "cling to childhood".

WILL IS A CHILD.

WILL IS 14 YEARS OLD!!!

enough with this bullshit about him "clinging to childhood" because he wants to also play videogames and play at a game he loves. Mike is the one that wanted to grow up early to appear more cool. Will is acting his own age in s3 and also in s4. literally shut the fuck up

[thebrokengate]

Literally. You know what I was doing at age 14? Playing videogames with my dad and board games with my grandpa. Did that just about every afternoon and night. Why? ‘Cause it’s normal to do at that age. And hell, I still enjoy my videogames now and I like watching people play D&D who are way older than even Will is. People in their 30s. “Will wants to play games because he’s a kid” and “games aren’t inherently childish” are two statements that can and should coexist here. Playing games with Mike is one of Will’s favorite things to do. It’s something he misses that he hasn’t gotten to do in months.

Some people seem to think all of these kids should have adult mindsets which is just.. not right. They’re still minors. They’re still allowed to be kids. It’s the world they live in that’s forcing them to grow up before they should have to. The horrors they’ve faced both from society and the Upside Down. Is it really so wrong that Will wants to do things that provide him normalcy and stability after all he and everyone else have been through?

[will80sbyers]

exactly! and not only this, but the narrative in the show is framing this desire of the kids of being kids as positive, the narrative is trying to tell the viewers that playing d&d is not something childish, it's something normal for their age (and older) as is playing Nintendo and just having fun together... and that wanting to play with the Christmas presents at 14 is not something you should be ashamed of!!!

The Duffers themselves got lowkey polemic with Finn one time explicitly saying to him how playing d&d as an adult is not something weird... they are not framing Will as being "childish" (that being considered bad is also a stupid concept in general in my opinion, but this is another long rant about how we minimize children's intelligence & feelings and I will not start it)

[foodiewithdahoodie]

The way people tried to shame Will for being a kid in s3 cuz he wanted to play DnD with his friends is atrocious. They were legit mad that Will wasn't trying to grow up too quick like Mike, when he's doing exactly what his age range should be doing, having harmless fun.

They adult-ify the kids so much - wanting them to know better and not make mistakes - newsflash but the party are kids and kids aren't meant to be wise like adults yet. They're still learning the world but the way Will and his friends get demonized for doing childish things cuz they're children is gross.

And I feel like they only say "cling to his childhood" cuz they want Will to grow up, stop being in love with Mike, and get a girlfriend like everyone else. It's giving the mindset of people who think you can outgrow being gay, but Will wasn't gonna conform by ceasing his gayness for the heteronormative agenda so they claim Will's not "growing up".
