[mikeandwillsweddingofficiant]

dude if you wanna bend him over the table just say it

[yousaidyes]

Thank FUCK I completed my fics when I did because I know for a fact I wouldn’t ever be able to write for this ship again after that shit show! It breaks me to say this but it’s the truth.

I’m suddenly thinking about those handful of bylers who left after s3… I used to think of them as cowards, quitters, but now I understand. And I’m sorry.

What was that? Our every fear realized right in-front of our eyes. A slap in the face - a tight one. I know never to trust media again. What is doesn’t mean what will be. Simple as that. But it was fun while it lasted. And I know this fandom is gonna thrive still. It’s a lot stronger than those bigots can ever imagine. I’m so proud of everyone!

Peace.

One thing about duffer brothers is that they love to write about nerds falling in love over their shared interests

[cowboylikewheeler]

it’s called stranger things because the writing choices just get stranger with each passing episode

[yousaidyes]

I’m sorry but am I the only one who doesn’t really care about those kids? 😭😭😭😭😭

Like… why? Why was it there at all? That plot? Our stars are right fucking there, aren’t they?! You know.. Will and El? Were they not enough? Was that whole ass tour into Henry’s mind scape really necessary? So necessary it was worth sidelining main character arcs? Did it really do anything? If they mention those kids again istg –

also will… will my beloved “did the leg slow you down?” to vecna. notice how he’s That Bitch forever

[pinkeoni]

I'm sorry I'm sorry. We just had a scene where a gay character pours his heart out and leaves everything out on the table, where he is able to accept himself and finally verbalize what is his biggest secret to all of his friends and family and realize that it was never about whether or not a boy liked him back that it was always about him and have everyone embrace him in the end for being exactly who he is... and people are hating it because it maybe hints that a ship won't happen.

Look, I do understand why people are disappointed or upset, but I think people also need to look at what that entire scene was saying and not just one little detail of it.

[mikeslawyer]

oh ALSO! I completely disagree with the take that will’s coming out scene was out of character and stripped of emotional ties.

he’s already come out to his brother & his mum, even if it wasn’t in so many words. the only people left for him are his friends. he’s surrounded by safe people, his sister, his three childhood friends, nancy & steve, who know about Robin and she deemed them safe.

it’s not like will is standing in front of the school and announcing he’s gay. not only is he being fully supported, his coming out is needed to provide safety for him later on. he’s being tormented by vecna and he’s making sure vecna can’t use this to get into his head.

it was the right call and the right time. it was vital for will to do this, do this at that exact moment. it’s his story to tell and it’s the last time he can do it before vecna exposes it for him.

[yousaidyes]

Thank you same here! I love that he came out to everyone, his mom and brother already know anyway. And it’s not like he was surrounded by strangers or something, everyone in that room was someone who Will CARED about, felt SAFE around, that HE invited to listen. I don’t think it was ooc or corny or anything, it really wasn’t. And omg so what if it’s the 80s??? Since when do we care about that? If we can see byler happening we can also see will coming out to the whole gang?? What does 80s have to do with that? And sure, I didn’t like Mike’s reaction being stony and Will calling him Tammy and a Crush either, but then again I just think he’s given up and is ready to move on, or at least try moving on, so he thinks it’s no different if he calls it love or a crush to other people, because WHAT would that change? Really? And he really wanted to leave no weaknesses to be exploited so it was actually genius of him. I get that it didn’t go the way we always imagined for years or read so many times in fics but when have those fics ever realized? This was just like that. I still love Will for his bravery and honesty. It wasn’t even easy for him like are we forgetting how much he was heaving by the end of it?? Like come on give him a break and let him do his thing. Jesus.

WAIT OH MY GOD PLEASE

[yousaidyes]

Oohmygodwhatthefuck?? The recent fic I wrote has the exact same scene where Will teaches Mike how to use a gun!!!! This is so meant to be! Anyone interested can check it out here.

[willbyersabyss]

Mike is multiple inches taller than Will but he bends down so far he has to look up to catch Will’s eyes. He makes me sick.

[gayofthefae]

He's been doing this for the entire run of the show too.

In this one he even visibly lowers himself when he switches from Lucas to Will.

In this once he's slouching so much he's SHORTER than Will.

[kitkat9400]

All of this in one episode and people still say there is no time for byler....😂

[helioleti]

haha yeah true you're not a wizard. you're actually a sorcerer because your magic doesn't come from a book of spells, it's innate. do you want to kiss
