The Bylers are so out of touch. There have been tons of main gay couples on mainstream shows! Oh, but wait, there are some female couples on this incomplete list, and I'm not sure some Bylers count that as representation (for some obscure fucking weird reasons).
"Max has dumped me five times. But what have I done? Huh? Have I despaired? No. Iāve marched back into battle, and Iāve won her back every single freaking time."

Or all the times Max broke up with Lucas, and all the times he fixed it.
āMileven is forced conformity! Mike feels obligated to return Elās feelings and date girls!ā
Nobody expected him to take her in and befriend her, much less kiss her
Nobody expected Mike to call her for 353 days
If Mike was trying to conform to 80ās standards he probably should not be dating the girl who:
ā¢ Was raised in a lab
ā¢ Has a speech impediment
ā¢ Has a mother who was known for being crazy ( aka the years she spent suing Hawkins Lab, and shooting a dude)
ā¢ Has no idea who her father is
ā¢ Does not get social cues
ā¢ Has been arrested for aggravated assault and maybe attempted murder
ā¢ Is wanted by the US government
Letās be so for real right now, El would be every white, conservative, Reagan-loving, pearl clutching boy momās paralysis demon.
Secondly, when you are trying to conform, that usually comes hand-in-hand with showing off to other people how āhappyā you are. Think of Ted and Karen for example, who barely interacted throughout the first 2 seasons, only to roleplay āhappily married coupleā during the 4th of July celebration with Holly.
If Mike wants to conform, he needs to ask his dad for some pointers, because heās clearly failing.
Here is a project I did for my Comic Art class about the animal-centric webcomics I grew up with! They were vital to the way I created (and still create) art and stories, and I also wanted to share some of my favorite webcomics! I think xenofic is very underrated as a whole, and Iām always an advocate for supporting indie artists.
I actually finished this a few months ago at the end of my school semester, but never got around to uploading it till now. (With the mastercard/visa stuff going on I thought this was a relevant time to post as well).
(Note, this was written to be understood by people both within and outside of the community)
Another lovely Ghostflower commission from a year ago that I took entirely too long to finish, but here it is at last! Iām booking slots for October so drop me an email (bio) to book yours.
