FINALLY managed to work on the next chapter for my wolfstar fic, and this jewel of a draft needs to be shared cause what did I write, sleep deprived at 4am last night-

[itsnotcasual]

crimson rivers you’ll always be famous to me

[the-clockwork-rebel]

So, remembered I had free will and decided I must become a fanfic writer (whoo-) :)

[gameguy20100]

I know it's mainly because she's the protagonist.

But I think the fact that we've seen Marinette suffer multiple panic attacks, breakdowns, and nearly spill the beans to Adrien multiple times... And we've never seen Felix suffer any guilt, and even outright screamed at Adrien over information he's deliberately leaving him in the dark over speaks volumes.

Marinette sees Adrien as his own person. Felix sees Adrien as his cousin and, therefore, one of his possessions.

And yet the fandom acts like Marinette is scum of the earth and praises Felix nonstop. It's insane.

Thank you.

[the-clockwork-rebel]

So, down here? It's literally the morn of 8th January and although i know even if the theory is to work, it's gonna be based off of the us timings, just gotta say : I LOVE YOU PEOPLE.

Nothing beats being an actual fan than nerding out so hard we ended up in creativity induced mass psychosis. I will forever cherish y'all and the theories.

I think the party would be proud my lovelies <33

[the-clockwork-rebel]

Okayy, so to add onto a few of em theories I bring additions from our twitter hivemind :

A) Heroes being played in the past during TWO fakeout episodes where we had false deaths, and now being used in the finale, I think it'd be safe to associate it with the "fake" ending.

B) The WSQK static from one of the recent recordings has people believing that you can HEAR someone's static muffled "MIKE, MIKE, WAKE UP"

C) THE GRADUATION ROBES. THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE GREEN. THEY USED TO BE GREEN

D) MIKE Disappearing in that one scene during the start at the top of the needle :

This post explains this point

And so yeah- these are some of my memorable ones, guess I'm one of you now

[the-clockwork-rebel]

You know what?

I'm actually all here for the Schrödinger's Finale situation concerning conformitygate.

One way or another, it gives me joy. Y'all are literally geniuses and I'm genuinely so happy to see everybody so back in their element.

So to all my conformitygate joyces, I'm here for you and all the theories you got~

[the-clockwork-rebel]

And before I leave, lemme give my byler babies this song bout younger MiWi from my drafts cause yeah, it deserves the light of the day.

A Boy Can't Like A Boy

He looks at me and all i can see are the eyes of my lover

Then he turns around kisses her and i frown, forgot that he loves her.

Everytime they held hands I held my heart,

They only grew closer and I fell apart.

The part of me that wants him I bury deep.

Yet his face is all I see when I go to sleep.

Stolen glances, like when we played as kids,

You'd be the bravest and I was wiser than this.

In the rain after the fight, that time, when I ran away,

cause you didn't like me and i didn't have the guts to say.

Say that, i want you the way she does.

I am a boy, is that making this worse?

Should I even be feeling this way?

I think it's wrong as they say.

A boy can't like a boy.

My father used to joke about it, he sounded a lot like the bullies at school.

But mom always said that the wiser speak lesser than the fool.

So i believed the words and built a castle for me to save me from the night,

Cause when we bike together I knew i don't wanna kiss the princess but her knight.

The part of me that wants you I hide.

If this isn't natural then why does it feel right?

Stolen glances, like when we played as kids,

You'd be the bravest and I was wiser than this.

In the rain after the fight, that time, when I ran away,

cause you didn't like me and i didn't have the guts to say.

Say that, i want you the way she does.

I am a boy, is that making this worse?

I think it's wrong, what they say.

A boy can't like a boy

When they thought it was my body, heard you lost your head.

They saw you at the funeral, screaming I'm not dead.

And I am hoping that someone will make it make sense.

How could loving you be a crime, be a federal offence?

They said the bravest and the wisest aren't a match.

But you and I we were part of a stranger batch.

You make me a bit braver than I've ever been,

And with me you are a bit more wiser than they've seen.

The truth of the matter I think I believe,

A boy can't like a boy, but he can love him.

A boy can love a boy.

Live, love, laugh cuties <3

[the-clockwork-rebel]

And as a byler fan lemme give you a funny truth despite us not winning-

It wasn't queer baiting, but accidentally accurate queer representation.

Cause as a queer individual,

THE HOMOEROTIC FRIENDSHIP WITH YOUR "BEST FRIEND" WHICH STRETCHES BEYOND YEARS WITH THE DUO BEING:

A) ACCEPTS THEIR IDENTITY, COMES OUT AT ONE POINT AND DOENS'T FULLY GET OVER THE CRUSH BUT STILL MOVES ON

And

B) STAYS IN THE CLOSET FOR A PRETTY LONG TIME UNTIL ONE DAY YEARS LATER ITS LIKE

Oh.

Is a canon event.

It's happened to most of us.

And byler gave us exactly that.

I am personally savouring this part as well.

And the ambiguous ending?

Fate is all up to you and your interpretation.

[the-clockwork-rebel]

And all of the ones hating on Mike? All because byler did not happen? Or the acting complaints?

Do you really think Will would genuinely tolerate a sentence of your slandering ?

Because although he wasn't the same Mike, he's STILL Mike.

Because in that stupid lopsided haircut and his weirdly dramatic DnD sequence I saw him.

And maybe one day when you can look beyond the fact that being part of a romantic ship is the only way a character gets to be valid, you'll get it.

[the-clockwork-rebel]

Think back to your younger self who first watched the show and ask yourselves whether they would accept the finale as good and feel happy that all of them got good endings if not perfect ones OR would they go online to bash and hate the whole thing with every shred of their existence, dissect and slander and just go on a full hate spiral online.

Reflection is good sometimes.

[the-clockwork-rebel]

Right.

So the finale?

I think it was phenomenal.

I think it was GREAT.

I BELIEVE.

I understand that byler not happening was surely a great loss, it could've been epic, but you cannot let the misery of not getting it fog the truth of the ending.

And yes, I say this as a queer person, that no, it wasn't just queer baiting. We have forgotten the essence of what it's like to consume media in a manner that is seperate from our own perfect personal outcomes. Perception plays a big role in this and cynicism was always an easier choice.

You know that most of the strictly queer media usually stick along to a handful of important things like the coming out, getting their lovers or being accepted by specific people. And these are really important pieces in our lives, they make us feel seen. But not everyone's life revolves around just that. You're also a student in a class, you're also worried about your homework or what to have for dinner. You're also a person. You don't have to alienate yourself, that's what THEY want to do.

So to see Will and Robin have the "talk", his monologue, his coming out and his ending? I think i felt seen. Even if they were minor moments in the big picture, our existence is a collection of these tiny moments that make us ourselves.

It's never been about HIM, it's always been about YOU.

A crush not working out doesn't change the fact that for most of us? That moment of realising that YOU are the magic, it's YOU, was recognition. It was representation.

And yes, it wasn't very major in the overall show to have just two characters, but if you look past the complaining, it WAS meaningful.

You forget this is NOT a romance, it's a sci-fi show with it's roots in found family and friendship against the odds, and sometimes you must stop at that. Sometimes you have to realise that romance ISN'T the most important thing for all of us. NOT EVERYBODY NEEDS A PARTNER TO MEAN SOMETHING.

YOU THINK SAYING WILL GETTING A DECENTLY GOOD ENDING IS NOT PERFECT, BECAUSE IT'S NOT WITH A PARTNER, BECAUSE IT'S NOT MIKE?? Like it's all bullsh*t?

(And this is to say that the supposed epilogue boyfriend isn't confirmed and could very well be a friend who accepted Will's truth and will was comfortable enough to share with him. And even if it was, WHY DO YOU GET TO CHOOSE WHO HE FINDS HAPPINESS WITH?)

The ending was a full circle farewell and I think a lot of us really need to get a grip and realise that you're losing the truth of being nerds and geeking out over a piece of media : that childlike wonder of acceptance, and seeing the good in the moments that don't openly reflect your wishes. You don't consume only to dissect, sometimes you consume to FEEL.

In this age where we completely consume ourselves with studying art more than feeling or appreciating it has made us blind to the very fact of being human. It is ART, YOU FEEL IT FIRST.

And truth be told, I FELT something with that finale.

So yeah, to all the people who were disappointed by byler not happening? You're totally valid and it's totally okay to feel that way. It was good, but it could've been something far more greater.

But to HATE? To hate on Will, Mike, the creators, Mileven, the ending etc. ? You surely need to get some water and reflect on your priorities.

To be mad that nobody died? You never loved the characters and only ever saw them as mere pawns to be controlled and tortured and follow all of our fantasies word to word, all for your individual entertainment. Maybe one day you'll actually be able to consume without complaining because humanity has forgotten the idea of creating something and staying true to it, in ways that might not be the best, but they are still true to them.

They ended the show full circle. It was nostalgic and predictably adorable.

To all the ones who can only HATE on the show for reasons that do not stretch beyond " But my personal fantasy wasn't exactly replicated "

You need to learn how to actually CONSUME media.
