co-presidents of the derek hate club

side blog dedicated to dissecting acswy lore so our main blogs don’t get overwhelmed!

[waylibee-analysis-firm]

hi everyone!

this blog was created by wayli @wayward-sherlock and bee @willelmikes to help keep ourselves organized as we analyze, theorize about, and enjoy the wonderful fic a cruel summer with you by @campbyler!

wayli’s posts : #🫧

bee’s posts : #🍓

posts will be tagged with /ref, and posts with a specific meaning to us will be tagged with /[topic] ref.

we hope that we’ll be able to share our analysis doc on here sometime soon, once we get our thoughts together and finish our reread of acswy!

if you’d like to submit a theory, or draw attention to something that we’ve missed, feel free to do so in our ask box here, or on our personal blogs!

with this being said, we will not tolerate any hate. we are having fun analyzing this wonderful fic and we hope to share our enjoyment with others, too!

hello hello hello! regarding your post from last night, i’ve been given permission to bring you a clarifying crumb of information so that you don’t spend one million hours barking up the wrong analysis tree: mike and will do not kiss between the events of their first summer at camp (2017) and the kiss in chapter 4 of acswy. we were still impressed with your analysis though hehe so do with that information what you will 🫡

hello suni!! thank you so much! this saved us Quite a Lot of Thoughts (hehe) so we really appreciate it😌

would like to say though. that when we got this ask we Lost It. so. yknow.

HI HELLO friends bee here. live from the google docs and also discord. and going a bit. A Bit Insane. anyway. here are my incoherent rambley thoughts regarding will and derek and how they broke up

anyway. this post is what got me thinking about the lead up to will and derek's break up....and also. the wish you were sober references WHICH MAKE ME ABSOLUTELY <JAHDJSHFKJHHH anyway.

we know that no one will be consuming any alcohol in this fic - however, this does not mean they didn't consume it outside acswy's present timeline.

will woke up to water and ibuprofen on his bedside table.

what do these often go hand in hand with? HANGOVERS, PEOPLE. HANGOVERS.

*wish you were sober plays ominously in the background*

anyway. me and wayli were discussing this and we think that the lead up to will ending up with a hangover could've been that derek (who is a year older than him, and will would've been a junior in high school at this point in 2021) invited will to the senior prom afterparty , (GORGEOUS REFERENCE. BTW.) where he inevitably got drunk and mike picked him up.

at which point, will and mike kissed in mike's car. for the second time (mike references in uh. one of the chapters i don't remember which one that he and will had kissed MORE THAN ONCE before their kiss in the isolation cabin. we know they kissed when they were 13...so....what was the other time...)

anyway. Anyway. don't know the details just yet because we haven't gathered enough evidence to make a clear conclusion but this is a basic speculatory timeline of events:

will goes to a senior prom after party with derek, probably at some point in may 2021 -> he gets drunk and tells mike to come pick him up -> wish you were sober references come in, THEY KISS -> camp starts in late may or june -> derek finds out about the kiss and breaks up with will in june/july 2021

[waylibee-analysis-firm]

adding onto this:

derek finds out abt the kiss and breaks up with will in june/july 2021 -> mike leaves camp to get stuff for will’s break up (a la ch8) -> will receives The Hoodie during wilderness week 2021

more evidence to come !!!

[waylibee-analysis-firm]

i mean. bee isn’t wrong…

[waylibee-analysis-firm]

chapter eight potentially being delicate coded is something so special to me. chapter nine, however -

[waylibee-analysis-firm]

we won.

@campbyler this is vile. this is too far. this is my singular favorite disney song. the reaction you’ve given me is visceral.
