guys these milevens are about to be heinous and im not ready for the harassment 💔💔
hot take i thought the coming out scene was beautiful but i did quite literally watch it two seconds ago so my feelings may change.
im rreally enjoying the season none the less even though the dialogue is cringe at times, dustin and steve were beautiful, even nancy and jonathon’s breakup was beautiful
i wont lie i tried to not have my hopes up but im a little bit dissapointed but why am i not surprised? i feel like byler shippers just added so much depth to a character that the writers are barely using because his character is so damn boring this season and the last and even season 3. maybe thats why everyone loved byler not because “omg gay love and happy ending for will” but becauseit made mike less of a bland ass rude boyfriend. it gave reasoning to his shitty behaviour to his girlfriend and his protectiveness of his friend. it made so much sense and was such a beautiful premise. now mike is just…. “im a mid ass boyfriend who said a super lack luster proclamation of love at the end of season 4 finale that the audience wasn’t moved by AT ALL like it was so lacking and this whoole love story was so lacking and this character’s fall off was so dramatic the audience just asssumed he was gay because we thought this was a beautifuly woven story and not another story about a teenage boy getting the superhero girl and how he doesn’t feel like he deserves her and then proceeds to self sabotage their relationship and then get rewarded for it.”
we deadass wrote a better plot than stranger things. micheal’s internalized homophobia? coming out in so many back handed ways? how it effected el? will? mike? soooo good such good self sabotage that didnt make us hate the guyy but make us empathize
but nope. this is mike. mike has the worse character fall offs of the CENTURY. season 1 mike is PEAK. season 2 mike is barely there and hes PEAK. but season 3 mike now isnt this teenage boy not understanding why he feels like el’s kisses arent hitting. now hes a teenage boy whos just got a weird problem with saying “i love you” to his girlfriend that is like mentally 5 years old and has only been out in the real world for 2 years but even those two years she was HEAVILY SHELTERED. like this ship was cute seasons 1-2 but because it was puppy love!!! mike genuinely cared sm abt her and was so cute and sweet! but season 3 was so ASS to watch that viewers were like “hes not making any sense maybe hes just gay” (obviously im joking because going into it there was genuine connection)
like we made a whole ship and it got so damn popular because mileven turned so BUNS💔💔 mike made no damn sense, and el deserved better.
again season 1-2 mileven was cute but 3rd season was terrible. 4th season wasnt much better and i cannot beliebe in season 5 they got back together OFF SCREEN
duffer brothers can you just not write romance when it comes to el/mike???? 😭😭😭
anyways this made no sense probably my legs falling asleep from my sitting positon as i type this i better go but for the bylers that SOMEHOW still believe byler will happen last episode… you’re stronger than me :c but you are FREE to laugh in my face when it happens
I just made Winowna recently, she’s supposed to be a Fairy in a music box! Her story is she’s a NPC that Caine brings out when Zooble and them have been especially mean to him and he needs a pick me up lol! Winowna makes him feel better cause of her total crush on him thinking he’s sooo talented! She’s bubbly, sweet and charming!
THE TWIST!!!
So while Pomni meets her first time and is wondering why the gang recognizes her. Zooble explains to her that Caine brings her out when he’s feeling especially unloved. Though it’s quite un-often since she can be a little overbearing with her crush. So while Caine lets Winowna be their Adventure guide, Pomni notices small things about her. Kinger’s especially excited to see her, she speaks to him about insects; which confuses her. She thought NPC’s couldn’t remember past adventures? Was the same with Gummigoo right? So why was it different for her?
The adventure’s quest ends, Caine comes to pick them up but Winowna stops them.
“W-wait! It- It’s note over yet silly!” She shouts nervously and flies over to Caine. “Please don’t let the adventure be over yet! They were really enjoying it! Weren’t you guys?”
While Pomni herself hadn’t hated the adventure it seems to be that this is what Zooble meant by how she can be “overbearing.” Winowna increasingly becomes more anxious with Caine’s insistence that the adventure is done. So Caine pushes the gang through and right before the portal closes. She screams, “Please!” Pomni looks over and sees her eyes are scribbles. The portal stops it’s shrinking.
“Pomni! Get your head from out the portal so I can close it!” Caine says in his usual enthusiastic voice.
Winowna is at her side of the portal entrance. “Caine! Caine you are so brilliant but I can help! They loved my adventure! Please let me stay! Please let me watch your work!.”
“Pomniii,” he sings. “Out the portal!”
Pomni frowns, “I..” She slowly backs off.
Winowna screams begging for Caine to stop but a yelp is all that is heard before the portal closes.
But wait! She stuck her hand through the portal and pushes it back open.
“I can’t go back! It’s so dark please!”
The break in her bubbly personality, that heart break in her voice. Was enough to fully convince Pomni’s suspicions!
Sooo after a whole lot of convincing, Zooble and Ragatha agreeing. They convince Caine that Winowna is a HUMAN!!!!
YAYYY!!! But.. how come Winowna didn’t know that? Well Caine apologizes profusely to Winowna for this confusion but Winowna forgives him over and over because well…she doesn’t think she is? She quickly forgives him for locking her away too. But it has left her with a deathly fear of the dark. This fear, stops her from talking to sane Kinger who -for the people read this far- knew her back then!
Heyyy guys! Been a minute! Here’s some Eddie & Volt!
This drawing took meee 6 hours! Still hasn’t beat my Jayvik drawing that was 13 hours (jesus christ 😭) But I sketched this in my sketchbook first sooo maybe an hour more! So the longest i’ve spent on a drawing in a while.
Anyways date everything took over my brain for a week, these two are my faves! (Preference for Eddie) Love their storyline the most definitely. Dorian and (specifically) Timmy are my other two faves.
DORIANS SO FIIIIIOOOONEEE
TIMMY HATE IS ALLOWED BUT I’M JUST NOT LISTENING !!! Listen he’s just funny alright let him be silly goofy, his story cracked me up it was so cringe 😭
Previously only posted on the bittersweet server! But now since it has been taken down I wanted to post them here! Let’s keep this fandom alive please!!!
I actually hit the limit and even have some small animatics I made 😭 😰
Anyways, I LOVE bittersweet so much please fandom don’t die on me 😞 I’ve hyperfixated on them so bad. I’ve been using them to practice coloring as you can see.
Jayvik drawing/doodle? Lowkey buns but I’ve been drawing bitter sweet a lot recently and just been posting on the discord server. This is the year of cringe for me cause I got tumblr and discord again 😭 i barely use the two and feel like a boomer trying to relearn it but anywaysss still love jayvik my hyperfixation is def bittersweet now though :P
I’m so happy with this drawing, I found a brush I really like using. My favorite part of this drawing is Jayce’s face. His eyelid shadow and his lip. This scrunch of his nose UGH ! I know it’s not amazing and i didn’t change the black lining which definitely would make it better, but I’m so happy with the progress I’ve made. Still a lot of room for improvement but this has spiked my passion for drawing again (especially digitally) which I’ve really needed for a long time now!
I know nobody’s reading this but still typing this all out. Thank you to the 3 people who read this through! I know this drawing isn’t anything compared to the masterpieces under the Jayvik hashtag, but drawing is really the only thing I have right now. I just need this to show that I am something as sad at that sounds. I need my art to look okay, because it’s really my only interesting hobby. That’s really what has been keeping me at drawing. I just hope life shows me more passion. It’s been so hard recently to find it and not be tired everyday. So progressing like this really is my one drive right now. What’s really helping me and is the light of my life right now. Anyways, thanks so much for viewing. Bye bye
I’m really proud of this drawing 🙏 Drawing ppl kiss is so hard also how many times have I drawn Mike and Will kiss? I think like 10 times but anyways this was based off some tumblr thing I found on pinterest about different kind of kiss ideas. I thought it was cute. Yeah they gay
Guys digital art is hard im back to my roots. Mike looks kinda busted sadly but I swear the sketch under was fire 😓 but so proud of the Will drawing like my BOY LOOKS SO JOLLYYY!! He deserves it. Tbh I only drew these cause my friend was like “you always draw them so tragically” so I drew them happy for once. (Never again I’m back to every other emotion LMAO)
Teensy rant for the 5 people who like reading people’s thoughts about Byler. I love the ship so much and I’m hoping they get something like my standards are SO LOW. Like I feel bad everyone is so certain it’s going to happen atleast on my side of tumblr. But I don’t think it will🙁 I think the duffer brothers will chicken out because of homophobic audiences and such. WHO KNOWS? Maybe I’ll be proved wrong but for right now i’m going with terrible expectations so I can be pleasantly surprised if anything slightly nice happens.
Do I think it would be kinda mean for Will to have not only all the trauma he has but now an unrequited love story with his best friend? Yes I think it would be shitty. I’m not saying it would be a GOOD writers choice or not a hell of a missed opportunity to write something beautiful. It wouldn’t be to me but I’m not a writer I guess? Frankly, in my opinion Mike’s weird ass behavior not to just Will but mostly El/Jane doesn’t make full sense. With his struggle to say I love you. I feel if his actions aren’t backed by some internal struggle like internalized homophobia his actions come off as just rushed and odd. I use the word odd because it doesn’t seem purposeful. If this was some coming of age story where he just has trouble with… commitment? I don’t know! I literally don’t know what the problem would be with him that makes him not be able to say I love you to her for their whole relationship! Audiences shouldn’t be confused on why Mike’s feeling this way and I feel like people who are getting persuaded into Byler being a better ship aren’t fully there because hehe boys kissing. But because it’s a reason for his behavior! I’ve watched video essays on the decline of stranger things and people even if they aren’t shippers agree that Mike’s confession seemed rushed. (The one in season 3 with him saying “I love her and I can’t lose her again!”) It lacked meaningfulness. So it’s either the writers are shit at making a love story. (Even though Jancy and Jopper[?], etc exist which are good love stories.) Or Mike’s confession was misplaced. Hey I’m not gonna meat ride the Duffers, they coulda just missed the mark.
This whole byler thing is just grey enough to where they could swing it either way and they could still the pull the card “erm well you guys were just over speculating!” Alright buddy just pull the trigger while you’re at it.
Short Byler one shot! A little angsty, and probably ass because I haven’t written in years but I can’t get them out of my head. I don’t have an AO3 account and I didn’t want to post this on Wattpad so I’m putting it here! Enjoy the 10 people who read fanfics on tumblr!
It takes place some time after the end of season 4. Probably beginning of season 5. Will dealing with the battle of wanting to make his best friend happy and sister but hating what that entails. Will you are in the worst love triangle ever I’m so sorry. 😢
Mike was trying to make it not painfully obvious he was looking at Eleven. He wasn’t trying to stare but he was. The boy had a lot on his mind at the moment. Should he go up to her? Ask how they were? Even though he said that four letter word, yelled it to her. She still hadn’t spoken to him since. If he did go up to her, what would he even say? Should he keep it casual? It’s killing him inside to have so many questions but no answers. He meant what he told her during their fight, he did care. He cares so much about her, worried about what happened to her while they were trying to find her. I mean- she had her hair shaved off! Not just the old haircut but her old powers again?
At this rate, the Wheeler was going to be just staring for a while. Will had walked up beside his friend without him even noticing. Didn’t take long for him to understand what Mike was thinking about. Even if he hadn’t been eyeing her up. Will just could read his best friend so easily.
“You should go talk to her,” Mike’s train of thought broke. He looked over to where Will’s voice was coming from on his left. The teenager frowned and continued his staring streak.
“You think so?” His voice full of uncertainty.
Will replied softly, “yeah.” If Mike had been looking he would have seen how somber his face had been. But Mike blew off the weird feeling he was getting, thinking it was nerves. He had a habit of doing that to Will didn’t he? Yet here his best friend was. Accepting being blown off, trying to help him anyways.
Will pushed Mike forward, “go on!”
“Okay! Jesus!” Wheeler shot over a glare.
Once his eyes went back to El it took him about three steps for him to lose the momentum. He looked back at his friend to him giving him a thumbs up with a lopsided smile. Even Will knew this was gonna suck.
Then another three steps and Elevens head was turning before she could have even gotten the chance to meet his eyes Mike turned around so quick.
Oh god nope I can’t do it. Mike gave up before he even tried. But wait where was Will?
—————————
Even though Will hated himself for leaving his friend to deal with this conversation alone. If his friend asked why he left so soon, he could say “I knew it wasn’t gonna be pretty” or “I thought you would want some space for that.” Though that wasn’t the real reason. Even though he was helping his friend with his girlfriend. Will couldn’t stay to watch as it actually happens. To see his guidance actually work.
God, when did he become so selfish?
He was trying to be a good best friend. A good brother for El. Mike wanted El. So Will was going to make sure they stayed together if it was the last thing he’ll do. Yet if that was the case… That he wanted them to stay together. Then why was it so hard to even think about it happening? No matter how hard Byers tried to make himself feel the opposite. Happy. Excited. Supportive. He was selfish. That’s it. He’s selfish and stupid. Why did a part of his heart get crushed at watching Mike be happy? He wants her. If Will really-…loves him he shouldn’t be crying like an idiot in a bathroom about this. It’s not like El is a bad person for Mike. That’s his sister. She’s one of the sweetest people ever and she’d treat Mike well.
All the same his heart was still breaking. Tears still running, chest still burning. At least he made it to the bathroom in time. This is a battle for him and himself alone. That selfish feeling is always there when watching the two be together but the fact it was Will keeping them together this time. Made it really come out. Made him cry because he wished -the idiot he was wished- that he was in El’s shoes. He’s so selfish he really would go through the life El’s gone through if it just meant Mike wanted him…
What was he thinking?
No he doesn’t think any of that. Well yes he did, despite that he knows it’s wrong. It’s all so wrong. Will’s head felt like it had so much pressure getting built up. He was so stupid. Selfish and stupid. Thinking all these crazy thoughts. That’s all they were. Crazy thoughts, that he swore didn’t define him. He got to be Mike’s best friend and if he really loved him he’d be okay with just that.
—————————
Alright where did Will go? If he had just gone to the bathroom he would have been out by now. Wait had he even checked the bathroom yet? Mike went over and before he knocked he heard something. Soft nearly silent sobs. It didn’t take him long to recognize it being his best friend’s.
He knocked, “Will?” Suddenly the only thought of El in his mind was him thanking himself he hadn’t spoken to her. The sobs stopped. He knocked again, “Will is something wrong?”
Will looked in the mirror, he looked a mess. He turned on the sink. “No, I-i’m good!” He bent over to splash some water on his face.
Mike didn’t believe that for a second. “Then can I come in?”
“Uhhh-“ Before Will could respond Mike creaked the door open. He quickly turned the sink off and tried to dry his face. “Mike what the hell? What if I was peeing?”
Mike was going to reply but he saw Will’s state. Mike knows how Will’s eyes look after he had been crying. Slightly red and he knew that the boy was hiding something by the way his lip was trembling. Mike stepped in and closed the bathroom door behind him.
“Will, what’s wrong?” Will’s bangs were wet and sticking again his forehead. Will opened his mouth to say something but he couldn’t get anything out. Mike saw his eyes and saw…fear?
“Did you see something?” Mike’s voice softened.
“N-no!” Will replied to quickly. “Mike, I’m okay. Nothing like that.”
“Oh, okay good.” Mike smiled for a moment. Though it didn’t mean he would stop being worried. “Then, what’s happening?”
Will turned from him, “Nothing is Mike I-“ He bit his lip. He turned his head down looking at his hands on the counter. Mike stepped closer to him. Will turned his head to look at him hesitantly. Met with Mike’s eyes, full of worry. Oh that feeling that made him so stupid came back.
Mike felt like fall. Perfect temperature, with a cool breeze. Fun, games, life before he got taken. When life was normal. When their biggest fear was not being able to continue their campaign that night. Before he was reminded of how terrifyingly mortal he was because in those days Mike was always there and it wouldn’t have been the same without him.
Stupid selfish feeling of warmth in his chest when he saw Mike look at him like that. Will had to look back away from him because that warmth had moved to his face. Though he didn’t escape him for long because Mike put his hand on his.
“Will I know it’s been a long time since the last time you trusted me with something but…” Mike’s voice a little desperate with a hint of self hatred from thinking about how long it has been because of himself. “I’m here for you okay? And I want to be.” His hand was warm on top of Will’s. “Please trust me.” Mike’s head racing quickly translated to his voice as he raced. “I know it’s been so long and I’ve been a douche and it’s understandable if you don’t want to but I-“
“Mike.” Will said softly with a smile on his face. “I know.” Mike looked at him with wide worried eyes.
“Sorry… I just think I’m antsy cause of how long it’s been.” Mike smile was a little twisted.
“Antsy?” Will poked. Mike was going to quickly reply with something to try to over explain it but Will stopped him before he got the chance. “Me too. I think everyone is.”
Everyone? Mike thought. No it couldn’t be everyone because the feeling Mike was feeling was just with Will. But maybe it would be better to let Will think it’s whatever he thinks Mike meant.
“I appreciate it Mike.” Will looked up at Mike and his friend mirrored him. Will’s eyes went to their hands. “I’m sorry I worried you, I just was stuck in my head. Thinking crazy thoughts.”
Mike smiled, “well you remember what I said?” Will looked up confused. “If we go crazy, at least we’ll go crazy together.” Will eyes widened, Mike didn’t even know what he just did to Will’s heart. Will flipped his hand over and intertwined their fingers.
Mike let him. “Yeah,” he said with a smile. “I remember.” The two looked at an each other for a moment. Then Mike noticed the tears in his friend’s eyes.
“Hey but please don’t do this again. This is what Vecna wants, us to be split apart with our worst feelings. It’s dangerous.” Mike’s hand tightened. Will’s heart was racing, Mike always is looking out for him. “I get you might not want to talk to me, that’s okay. But at least sit with someone, if not with me at least someone.”
Byers’ thumb rubbed against his friend hand. “I think you’re the only person I’d want to be with when I’m like this.” Will laughed and rubbed his eyes.
Now it wasn’t just Will’s chest feeling something. That funny feeling in Mike’s chest, different from the one that came with El started to warm up his chest. The black-haired boy smiled brightly. “Cool.”
“Cool.” Suddenly the two liked this bathroom. Didn’t mind staying in it for a little while longer.
