Steve: Robin, you're not gonna believe me. Eddie and I slept together.

Robin: Oh, cool. I hope you guys kept yourselves warm, nights are getting so chilly.

Steve: No, Robs, I mean that Eddie and I had se-

Robin, covering her ears: I HOPE YOU GUYS KEPT YOURSELVES WARM.

okay hear me out: a fic riffing off the “Robin meets the JL while Batman is away and bolts” post I made but it’s a horror fic told from Robin’s POV as he desperately tries to escape through Gotham, using every gadget and contingency Batman gave him, running to the point of collapse and then trying to turn around and do a last stand with Batman’s holdout from the deepest pocket on his belt, the one he promised B he’d only use if it was life or death, and —

and the big reveal is that the person who’s chasing him is Superman. who readers know and love as Clark Kent, but to a terrified Robin? to a Robin who was told in no uncertain terms to run and keep running if he ever saw him?

anyway, cue Clark getting a surprise hit of Kryptonite from the terrified twelve year old and then having to explain at the next League meeting why, and how, he terrorized Batman’s sidekick when he knew Gotham was off limits. and he has to explain to Batman, who is so righteously furious, so close to losing it then and there and bringing out the Kryptonite himself.

“Eddie, what the hell are you doing?” Steve giggles upon being dragged by his boyfriend to the bathroom of the Hopper-Byers home. 

They were in the middle of Thanksgiving Dinner, Steve was just dishing up another helping of mashed potatoes, and now, well.. Steve finds himself gasping when Eddie shoves him past the door, and against the vanity, forcefully turning his body so he's facing the mirror, only to be met with the smirking image of Eddie reflecting back at him.

“I, my love,” Eddie starts, only to grind his already hard cock against the clothed seam of Steve's ass, before he speaks with a wet rasp into the crook of Steve's neck, “am going to fuck you, in this awful pink pastel, disaster of a bathroom, and you,” he reaches around to squeeze Steve through the front of his slacks, “are going to be a good boy, and be quiet. Then, you'll let me come in your ass, so you can spend the rest of the evening waiting for me to eat it out of you when we get home.”

Eddie undoes the buckle of Steve's belt with practiced ease, doing the same with his own only a moment later, “How's that sound, Sweetheart?”

A needy whine is on the tip of Steve's tongue, and the bare press of Eddie can be felt on the now exposed, mole dotted skin of Steve's ass, when, unfortunately, the rasp of Robin's voice, hisses through the door, “I have to piss, and so help me god, Steve, if you're getting railed right now…”

byler is queerbait, whether you like it or not.

so i've seen a lot of people arguing that byler was not queerbait, and that if you watch the show, it's clear that mike is straight and very much in love with eleven. now to that, i argue that queerbait isn't just about the show. the definition of queerbait is "a marketing technique in which creators hint at, but do not depict, same-sex romance or other LGBTQ+ representation. The purpose of this method is to attract ("bait") a queer or straight ally audience with the suggestion or possibility of relationships or characters that appeal to them, while not alienating homophobic members of the audience or censors by actually portraying queer relationships". and THAT is where the issue is. key word is MARKETING. the general audience was NOT the target for queerbaiting, QUEER audiences were. they included subtle hints that only some people who REALLY wanted representation (LGBTQ people btw) would pick up on. an example of this is shawn levy posting only mike and will's posters for s5 vol 2 on his story. not many people would see that, EXCEPT FOR BYLER SHIPPERS. they're queerbaiting, by hinting at a relationship but not delivering. and i have PROOF. the RECEIPTS

netflix geeked is run by netflix, noah schnapp is will's actor. why should s4 have you shipping byler if will is pretty much rejected by mike?

pairing all the couples together, plus byler. same thing happened in end of s4, why pair mike and will together? they may be best friends, but if they're not a couple they shouldn't be treated like one. besides, they weren't even a team in s5? this doesn't foreshadow much.

byler is the ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP between mike and will yall. WHY are you leading on fans? making them believe that there's something more there?

there's a lot more that just don't need explanation:

in a show where we're encouraged to "analyze everything", where "nothing is a coincidence", where they have CRAZY details like henry being behind will's neck:

evidence like shared looks, treating each other like more than friends, and just everything that will and mike do SHOULD imply a queer relationship. if byler was NEVER going to happen, the duffers should have made it clear that mike LOVES eleven, that his "i love you" monologue represents that he always will. it's not like they havent clarified scenes before, like with eddie being confirmed DEAD, and the jancy scene being confirmed a breakup. it would've been simple to say: mike is straight, it's never happening, will is going through a journey of self acceptance. very simple, very easy, because it's been done before with wenclair, another popular fanmade ship for a mainstream netflix show.

byler was queerbait. the duffers should've shut it down once it became that big, or AT LEAST after vol 1 of s5. to add on to all of that, the only other queer ship, robin and vickie, doesn't get representation either. i had hope after vol 2, but it seems like they forgot vickie's character in the epilogue. disappointing.

Robin doesn’t really understand why Keith thought giving out free candy canes as it got closer to Christmas would increase “customer engagement.” Until she witnesses Eddie coming into the store practically every time that Steve works a shift just to sit around and watch Steve in awe as he absentmindedly sucks on a free Family Video candy cane.
