Mike Wheeler centric fics I'm working on right now to cope with the finale (yes they're all Byler)

Do you feel ashamed (When you hear my name?)

Post season 4, Mike's parents get worried about what the effects of the earthquake and the satanic panic hunt of the Hellfire Club may cause Mike long term, so they ship him off to live with his cousin and aunt in the quiet small town of Elmwood.

Through meeting his cousin and her quirky group of friends, he heals his unaddressed trauma, his relationship with his body and has a better understanding of his sexuality. A strong plot point of the fic is also him reconnecting with his family's spiritual pagan practices that were lost to him once Karen married Ted.

If you've seen what a heart is, you've seen its color (If I ever knew how we could guide it)

Seasons 4 and 5 rewrite, in which The Mindflayer is a bit of a smarter dimension conqueror and repossesses Will, and later on Mike to carry on its plans.

Includes both Will and Mike having powers and some of my signature horror writing.

Turn Away, Run Away (Crying to Your Soul, Crying to Your Soul)

Magic Realism fic inspired by classic fairytale tropes and that one scene in Howl's moving castle.

Labyrinthgate, Conformitygate. Byler.

Featuring Mike and Henry somehow becoming friend and the party rescuing Henry from the mindflayer's influence.

(Not Posted): Every Murderer is Someone's Old Friend

In which Mike, lost and devastated after El's presumed death, is taken under the wing of a rugged private investigator who often works alongside the US government. His problem solving and investigative skills blossom, and he suddenly finds himself not only a high profile investigator, but gone from his friends and family as he is placed under multiple secret identities.

Once paranormal activities start flaring up again in Hawkins, the party returns. Only this time, Mike is working under their old sworn enemy: the government.

(Not Posted): I forget how the sun feels, when she isn't around me

Mike's roadtrip of healing and self discovery as he slowly drives to the University of Oregon, where he is enrolled for English and Creative Writing.

The core aspects of the story are grief, trauma, identity and sexuality.

listen it's not that I think epic the musical is a perfect adaption of the odyssey but it was an impressive passion project that knew what it wanted to be and knew what people gravitated to in the original work and it put significant effort into conveying this through its unique medium and tone to the point that hundreds of other people felt compelled to put effort into their own artistic interpretations of that version of the story. and that's really cool! and yes I would be more critical if it was a 100 million dollar project made by a professional because what the fuck do you mean you're a world-famous director and you cut the my name is nobody scene are you goddamn serious

a quick psa to anyone recently getting into greek mythology and is a victim of tumblr and/or tiktok misconceptions:

-there is no shame in being introduced to mytholgy from something like percy jackson, epic the musical or anything like that, but keep in mind that actual myths are going to be VERY different from modern retellings

-the myth of medusa you probably know (her being a victim of poseidon and being cursed by athena) isn't 100% accurate to GREEK mythology (look up ovid)

-there is no version of persephone's abduction in which persephone willingly stays with hades, that's a tumblr invention (look up homeric hymn to demeter)

-as much as i would like it, no, cerberus' name does not mean "spot" (probably a misunderstanding from this wikipedia article)

-zeus isn't the only god who does terrible things to women, your fav male god probably has done the same

-on that note, your fav greek hero has probably done some heinous shit as well

-gods are more complicated than simply being "god of [insert thing]", many titles overlap between gods and some may even change depending on where they were worshipped

-also, apollo and artemis being the gods of the sun and the moon isn't 100% accurate, their main aspects as deities originally were music and the hunt

-titans and gods aren't two wholly different concepts, titan is just the word used to decribe the generation of gods before the olympians

-hector isn't the villain some people make him out to be

-hephaestus WAS married to aphrodite. they divorced. yes, divorce was a thing in ancient greece. hephaestus' wife is aglaia

-ancient greek society didn't have the same concepts of sexuality that we have now, it's incorrect to describe virgin goddesses like artemis and athena as lesbians, BUT it's also not wholly accurate to describe them as aromantic/asexual, it's more complex than that

-you can never fully understand certain myths if you don't understand the societal context in which they were told

-myths have lots and lots of retellings, there isn't one singular "canon", but we can try to distinguish between older and newer versions and bewteen greek and roman versions

-most of what you know about sparta is probably incorrect

-reading/waching retellings is not a substitute to reading the original myths, read the iliad! read the odyssey! i know they may seem intimidating, but they're much more entertaining than you may think

greek mythology is so complex and interesting, don't go into it with preconcieved notions! try to be open to learn!

hearing anything about the nolan odyssey is so funny. it's like "they cut the extremely important and infamous nobody scene" "the cyclops is a giant puppet that they put in an actual historical cave + gave circe animatronics for her pig transformation instead of cgi" "they dumped plastic skeletons in an environmentally protected location they were not supposed to be in" "they recreated ancient greek instruments in order to have an accurate score" "all of odysseus's agency is basically gone" "anne hathaway actually learned how to weave ancient looms" "the women in this movie are treated like shit" "they actually buried actors alive to get those underworld shots" "did you see what the fuck zendaya was fucking wearing holy shit you can't DO THAT, MA'AM" "what do you mean there was a legitimate epic the musical reference" "NOT A SINGLE FUCKING GREEK WAS CAST IN THIS MOVIE"

like did nolan have two guys standing at his side at all times whispering ideas in his ear and one told the truth and the other told lies and they didnt tell him which was which until they wrapped production cause

New headcanon that even though Shane is a millionaire, his parents still technically pay his phone bill because it's cheaper on the family plan and it's a pain to change phone plans and deal with phone companies and the plan they're on has good coverage in Canada and the US without roaming charges so it's just more convenient to stay on his parents' plan.

They insist he doesn't need to pay them back, it's only like $40/month, and it's only a drop in the bucket compared to the money Shane's spent on them so Shane lets it go. When Ilya gets settled in Canada, the Hollanders find out he's paying like $200/month for some fuck-ass phone plan he picked out at 18, so he gets added to the Hollander family phone plan too.

Carter Vaughn's lesbian sister, Cliff Marleu's lesbian moms, Shane Hollander's lesbian ex turned best friend. I'm so glad this fandom saw the draught of lesbians in canon and decided to fix it.

So someone has reached out to me to lmk they accidentally reported my account for financial scams. There is a chance this account will be deleted as a result! It's completely okay, things like this happen. I'll probably make a new one in case this one goes down.

I'm on AO3 as Yui-Kuromori in case anyone needs to message me.

Wish me luck! Let's manifest my account survives!

Explaining Artemis Fowl to someone is so unserious, like, what do you mean I'm supposed to stand here with a straight face while saying :

"Yes, yes the villain is 12. Yes he is also the protagonist. And a billionaire. He does have parents, yes. And a therapist. The fairy ? She's 70. Yes, yes he kidnapped her. And robbed half her people's money, thank you very much. She has a gun, yes. See that 16 y/o over there ? The one with glittery makeup ? She also has a gun. And that bald guy that's built like a fridge ? Thats her brother; he too has a gun, expect he doesn't need it. Yes, he's the villain's right hand. Please don't look in that direction, that's the Russian Mafia. The centaur ? He's a conspiracy theorist who's afraid of aliens."
