Seriously I Need Them

Am I getting hope? Yes. I know my posts are very negative lately and I’m sorry for any negative vibes I gave to others. That’s on me.

But now looking back, I think it might happen. I still have that doubt of course, I don’t think that will go away any time soon, but after seeing more on social media, many people are noticing Byler and Will being gay more than ever. Which, if the Duffers were really going for a way to defeat Byler, why have the audience notice anything weird. The GA has been catching on.

I feel we were disappointed of this because it didn’t go in a way that we wanted. Which I get because Will’s feelings will always feel like a plot device to me this season, even if it was or not, I feel that the Duffers should have handled this better. However, they still did their job by having the GA notice something and questioning the supposedly endgame ship Melvin. Byler is a SLOW burn and I totally get being impatient about it.

I am not a huge fan of slow burn (however I also don’t like instant romance either) so I have looked back on myself and realized that’s why I was disappointed. (Well there are plenty of other reasons) So with that, hope has come back.

Again, I am sorry for any negativity and that energy I have given to others. Of course, you can still be negative about it, but I hate being the one to cause it, same with causing hope.

Byler nation, if we’re getting hopeful, let’s all take it with a bit of salt at the end of the day. Because our trust has been broken, and do not judge others for still feeling negative. With that, I shall see you all soon

(I still hate Volume 2 for plenty of other reasons btw)

Currently listening to “Something I can never have” by Nine inch nails because that’s how I feel about Byler rn. However, a part of me still has hope and yet I don’t want to. I wanna ship this ship without needing canon cause fuck canon. The fix it fics are fixing it for me. So maybe I’m crazy and I am. But whatever. I just wanna ship Byler now in peace and not consider Vol 2 canon.

(I was a fan of Miraculous Ladybug, I thought I was trained about this outcome?)

Me and Leon when we’re married:

older! leon x younger! reader

If never gonna give you up doesn’t play in S5 what is the point of the show? Like Byler can happen but if never gonna give you up just isn’t in S5 then it’s a 0/10 for me

The Eltingville Club in a nutshell

But seriously this is a W take. This phenomenon is nothing new unfortunately, but I’m glad people point out that toxic aspect of fandom culture

i mean this in the gentlest possible way but if 75% of what you're posting for a given fandom is fuming rage spirals then maybe just maybe it's time to take a step back and consider whether or not you're actually having any fun with this optional thing you do for fun

Oh yeah, it’s all coming together

I know this interview is like a week or so old and I’ve analysed it before, but I just noticed something. Ross Duffer says how episode 7 has the big plot reveal with Vecna, which we all know about in the lab plot. However, he goes on to discuss how there are even bigger plot points and reveals to come. So it wouldn’t surprise me if somehow there’s a big plot reveal about Will and why he went missing on that particular day, correlating to time freezing in the Upside Down. Additionally, why he was the first victim taken and why he is so closely paralleled to Vecna.

It is also important to note how Ross says that there are not only big plot reveals but, also, “character reveals”. Byler? Revealing Mike confessing to El his love for her wouldn’t be a character reveal or a major plot point as that’s been done in season 3.

I LOVE THIS WOULD ABSOLUTELY LOVE A FIC

Considering writing a truly elaborate reverse isekai established relationship older Cleradin comes to Hawkins to meet pre relationship Byler and help El and everyone save the world while also repairing their relationship and getting Mike and Will to smooch while they’re at it.

Lucas’ fantasy counterpart is a prince (this is why he has the horse!) and turns out Erica is a princess and he has to swear Will the Wise and Sir Mike to utmost secrecy that his sister can NEVER find out she is actual royalty in another reality.

Dustin teaches fantasy Will about electricity and they do a magical mourning ritual for Eddie that he would have loved.

Steve invites them to stay at his house but Will the Wise, who is a grown ass man in his twenties, refuses to leave his mommy Joyce so everyone moves in and uses Steve’s house as a base.

Robin has to take fantasy Will aside and explain homophobia to him because he is so incredibly outwardly gay all the time.

Sir Mike and Nancy get along swimmingly because they are both fighters and relentless and he thinks it’s fun to be older than her for once.

There are fantasy to mundane eighties makeovers that upset and arouse Hawkins Mike, fantasy Will is very attached to his terrible wizard hat, fantasy Mike thinks blazers are neat, there are arguments about pants.

El is trying to reach out to fantasy El to repeat the portal accident that got Cleradin to Hawkins in the first place while also trying to help Max and defend against Vecna.

Will is completely flustered at all times by Sir Mike and Jonathan teases him relentlessly.

Sir Mike is an idiot who asks Hopper for an ale and gets his tongue stuck inside the freezer and finally bonds with Mike over the utility of radio communication.

Mike cannot even with Will the Wise who is so curious and outspoken and creative and keeps paying attention to everyone other than him how dare he.

Will the Wise is desperately avoiding picking up Hawkins Mike and squeezing him and ruffling his hair and biting him from cuteness aggression.

Will learns about Cleradin’s romance direct from Will the Wise but Sir Mike never tells Hawkins Mike, but Mike decides it’s worth the risk to follow through on his hunch and goes for it with Will anyway and they have a pre-final-battle first date and it is extremely cute because they deserve nice things.

El gets occasional communiques from her fantasy counterpart who helps her find Max by bringing fantasy Max into the void so El can look for her signature in Hawkins. Fantasy El is a super powerful and deeply weird witch and Hawkins El isn’t sure if she is okay with growing up to be like her and fantasy El is like “of course you won’t! Just by meeting me we’ve changed everything about what you would have been. Everything is changing all the time!” And Hawkins El is like, you are confusing and remind me of my punk sister so I guess that’s okay but please don’t go making any more portals by accident. And fantasy El is like, gosh, you are sooooo serious all the time, fiiiiiinnnneeee. But she makes one little portal a while later after Cleradin gets back home to send their well wishes and ask for Joyce’s meatloaf recipe.

Remember when Finn said:

“Probably a mutual understanding and acceptance”

This answer was regarding Will’s feelings, not his sexuality.

So there will be a confession in Volume 2 and it’s a mutual understanding. Which means he understands the feeling, and that it is mutual. Now, maybe I am stupid and that mutual does not mean you feel the same, but still, that wording gave me hope. Because it’s like “The feeling is mutual.”

I might be crazy and I probably am reaching who knows? But for the people who say that this was negative? That’s honestly a positive in my opinion
