Byler, Rayllum and Spiritshipping!

Happy Pride Month everyone! Again, let's make this a good Pride Month for Byler! 💙 💛

[thequeenofspiritshipping]

Since it's almost June, let's make this a good Pride Month for Byler. It deserves to have one after how badly handle that storyline has ended in the actual show.

[thequeenofspiritshipping]

If the Duffer Brothers didn't want to give Will another love interest much sooner because they wanted to focus on his story (even though Will's story heavily revolved around Mike, regardless it was a one-sided crush or not) why didn't just make Will an aromantic asexual instead of gay?

I mean, think about that? It would have solved all of their problems of people criticizing them for literally giving the male character that they choose to be gay only get an epilogue boyfriend that we only saw for a second while other characters get way more romance and they literally would still have the self-acceptance arc for Will too. Like, aromantic asexual people have literally said that they have felt broken because of societal pressures to be with someone romantically too, after all, and we know how the Duffer Brothers feel about Byler now too. Not to mention, the Byler fanbase wouldn't be as big if they did make Will canonically aromantic asexual too. I mean, the Byler actually became a thing way back in seasons 1 and 2 because we thought that Mike was the one that had a crush on Will, not the other way around.

I mean, even if a lot of people didn't know what aromantic asexual was way back in the 80s and I'm even sure that were even words for aromantic or asexual in that time either, but they literally could have made Will say that he really not interested in anyone romantically in one way or another and then confirm that he is aromantic asexual in interviews. Also, it would have made Will's ending not only be about his sexual identity and probably actually show him being an artist instead, too.

Like, even bigots usually don't hate aromantic asexual as much as homosexuality so they wouldn't have gotten as much hate from bigots if they went with that too.

Like, the only reason why didn't go with that instead is probably because they don't even know that aromantic asexual is also a thing that exist. I mean, I wouldn't be surprise that they don't know what pansexual is and probably don't know much about just being asexual too.

I mean, if only Jaiden Animation video of explaining what being aromantic asexual is like came out the literal same year as Stranger Things season 4 came out, because it might have helped them realized that was the better option for them to take Will's story to if have watched that video. Anyway, you can watch Jaiden Animation on that through this link here, by the way: Being Not Straight

I mean, I do actually have a couple of fix-it ideas for Stranger Things where Byler doesn't become canon and one of them is Will being aromantic asexual instead of being gay and this is coming from someone that loves Byler so much too.

Yeah, there is not just Byler in this post, but I feel like I still needed to say this in the Byler community anyway.

[thequeenofspiritshipping]

It's official!

Byler just surpassed Steddie on Ao3 as you can see the links here:

Good afternoon, fandom ⛅

After the mediocre interview from the Duffers on May 13th, today we have new material.

A Lumax/Byler photograph alongside the Sinclair family

And a video of Jamie Campbell talking about Byler and Will.

For the moment, Jamie has been the first actor from the show to defend Byler after the Duffers claimed that 'Byler was never in the cards.' I think that from now on, other actors and actresses might join in to give their opinion and point of view.

What do you think?

[thequeenofspiritshipping]

Byler is literally almost the number 1 Stranger Things ship on Ao3! Let's keep it up, fellow Byler shippers!

a little light for the journey ❤️

Guys...

DUDES

[thequeenofspiritshipping]

The Will Byers/Mike Wheeler one is over 37,700 fanfics now. It's so close! Come on, my fellow Byler shippers, we got this!

[thequeenofspiritshipping]

You know, it is weird to me.

That some people keep bringing up that Mike tried to call Eleven for 353 or 365 days but keep forgetting that Mike literally stopped trying to call her completely after Will got worse and got possessed in season 2, even though you would think that it would have made Mike want to call her even more because he would know that she would be the one that can actually help Will when he's possessed.

Also, Mike didn't actually tried to look for her outside in season 2 like he did for Will in season 1, even after seeing her through a window.

[celestial-seasonings427]

Or maybe we don’t have to keep fighting abt whether Mike likes Jane or Will more.

Maybe being in love with someone doesn’t mean you can’t care for and dedicate yourself to someone else even if you aren’t in romantic love with them as well.

[thequeenofspiritshipping]

Okay, I actually don't if you ship Mileven more than Byler. I am literally just expressing my opinion on why I like Byler more and sharing my thoughts. I have seen Mileven shippers do it, so why can I? Please, do not assume things about people you don't know from just one post.

[celestial-seasonings427]

I am also a byler shipper?? I don’t ship mileven either but I don’t like how mileven and byler are set as opposing sides

[thequeenofspiritshipping]

Okay, sorry. Though I didn't actually said you were a Mileven shipper, I only said I don't care IF you prefer Mileven over Byler, but I'm sorry anyway. Yeah, I don't like it that Mileven and Byler opposes each other but I still want to share my thoughts instead of bottling them up inside. It would feel like I am being eaten up inside if I don't do that.

Again, I really am going to just call Tales from 85 "Pander Things" because it's obviously pandering to the right.

Also, let's make Byler trend today again people!

[ieatstarsanddirt]

we gotta get byler trending today guys, share the word

[maybeashla]

Okay, if there's a Byler edit with 3M likes and the second AO3 ff is a Byler one, then we can really do this.

I hope it's spreading to other social media (like TikTok) and that it's actually done, not just something people talk about.

So, once again, let's all watch Fear Street on the 23rd. Whether it's for the first time or a rewatch!

[thequeenofspiritshipping]

I am so confused on why IMDb had this title for the first episode of Tales from 85.

But now it doesn't have this title anymore. Luckily, I screenshot it before this title went away.

[evilbookworm]

someone made art!!! it’s so cool!!!

[thequeenofspiritshipping]

I'm so glad you like my art for your idea!

[thequeenofspiritshipping]

This is a follow up to @evilbookworm post here:

💬 4  🔁 4  ❤️ 25 · byler putting on some weird looking headsets together and ending up in the digital circus, just barely recalling each othe

And I really wanted to make a follow-up to this post because I really wanted to explore what Mike and Will's avatars would look like and their new names would be in an Amazing Digital Circus AU.

Anyway, here is the avatar that I came up for Will (and I think that his new name in the Digital Circus would be Stuffles too):

And here is the avatar that I came up for Mike (and I think that his new name in the Digital Circus would be Duke, but I think that Baron would be a good name for him too):

Anyway, if you have any questions about why I made their avatars the way that they are, please, don't be afraid to ask. Also, if you don't know anything about the Amazing Digital Circus you could just ignore this post completely if you want.

[evilbookworm]

hey this is sick!

[thequeenofspiritshipping]

Thank you! I'm glad you like it!
