it’s been a year, mike. (MAJOR BYLER REVELATION INCOMING---MUST READ)

mike and will constantly saying "a year" or "all year" when talking about the time since the move when it's only been six months keeps me up at night

i saw people talking about how they say a year when it was only 6 months because they’re idiots in love and are being dramatic. as cute as that is, i didn’t really buy it until RIGHT NOW. i just saw it as a cute headcanon, but now i see that the writers could be enabling you to make this realization by use of subtext.

allow me to explain

^ these are the three times they say it

at first i thought the writers may have just used year because that’s less confusing for the audience because 1 year time jumps have been used before in stranger things and are super popular in books/movies/tv shows. BUT, it clicked for me that that doesn’t make sense. the timeline in stranger things has always been acknowledged. throughout s1 we hear the amount of time will has been missing several times (as far as i remember). in s2, mike counted the days el had been gone. he called her every night for 353 days. when el and hopper argue in s2, el uses specific numbers to tell us how long she’s really been with him. in s3 hopper specifically says ‘6 long months’ when talking about how long he’s been dealing with mike (lol). that's the same amount of time between s3 & s4, yet mike and will don't say 6 months, they say year. there’s a date at the start of every season. and in s4, el says this in her letter to mike.

185 days = 6 months (almost on the dot)

the writers have specifically told us how long it’s been since they moved, down to the amount of days. and it’s 6 months, not a year. this makes it very hard for me to write off mike and will saying ‘year’ as just the writers slipping up. also in el’s letter, she says this:

this is INSANE.

mike and will are saying the wrong amount of time. the writers aren’t stupid, they know how much time has passed since season 3. THEY WROTE IT. i’m a writer as well, and i know how much time is passing between what im writing because I CREATED IT. IT CAME FROM MY BRAIN. and like i said, the stranger things writers have proven to be very keen on dates and time. all of this happening in the same season is not a slip up, its on purpose. stranger things 4 had a 30 million dollar budget PER EPISODE. do the math--that’s 270 MILLION DOLLARS. and yes, i know they supposedly forgot will’s birthday, but that’s different. his birthday is a date that was mentioned one time and served no purpose aside from creating emotional tension in that one scene. none of their birthdays are important to the plot, hell, will’s is the only one mentioned in the show and it wasn’t even on his birthday. one date that was mentioned one time and never brought up again is NOT the same as continuous attention given to timelines/time jumps over the course of all four seasons. and some fans theorize that they’re lying about forgetting his birthday anyway. either way, its not the same.

so....the writers want us to know that emotions can make time speed up or slow down....and that el’s week has felt very fast because of her emotions....and then show us mike and will SPECIFICALLY deviating from the timeline established in the SECOND LINE OF EPISODE ONE “yeah, but you knew she was having problems for months and didn’t tell me.” “its been six months, mike.”, or “it’s been months, mike.” or not even including that line at all, or “the past couple months have been weird” would’ve worked and stayed in check with the timeline we’ve already established. but when writing those scenes, they chose to say year. which is flat out wrong and way off from the actual time they’ve been apart.

and what did el say makes time speed up or slow down? emotions? oh, okay got it

the first two times mike and will say it’s been a year are in the same scene: the rink o mania fight. emotions are high. they’re in a pretty serious fight. its not about something dumb, it’s about their ten year friendship and how they’ve grown apart. their friendship is VERY important to both of them. (remember when mike said asking will to be his friend is the best thing he’s ever done?) the third time it’s said is when mike is opening up to will in episode 4. it’s a very emotional scene. mike is being honest and vulnerable with his feelings. in this conversation he apologizes and admits that will didn’t deserve how mike had been treating him, which mike never does to anyone else. he admits his relationship with will is different and home isn’t the same without him, and that he feels like he lost will and wants to be best friends again.

and the obvious: emotions making time speed up or slow down doesn’t just apply to in the heat of the moment occasions. (in theory) mike and will are in love. the six months they’ve been separated felt like a year to them because of their emotions, just like el said in the letter. and mind you, will is canonically in love with mike, yet they’re both acting the same way about this. it’s not just will. it makes sense for six months to feel like a year to will because of his emotions, because he is in love with mike, right? well, mike feels the exact same way. this isnt even about the characters as people. narratively speaking, mike and will both doing this doesn’t make sense if it’s unrequited. one way writers show how characters aren’t on the same page about something, a relationship for instance, is whether they’re on the same emotional page about different plot points. something major and emotional happens to all the characters---now we watch how they react to it. and i don’t mean small disagreements & such, characters are allowed to feel differently about things. i mainly mean when whatever happened is painful and important to one or more of the characters. for example, steve and nancy. steve and nancy didn’t feel the same about barb, barb’s parents, and everything that happened in general. steve wanted to keep on like nothing happened while nancy was literally eaten up with grief, guilt, and trauma. jonathan was the one who was on the same page as her and made her feel better about carrying that baggage around all the time. they understood each other. and who was nancy in love with? jonathan. narratively, that makes perfect sense and even further sways the audience into understanding they’re in love.

so...what? the emotions that made mike and will’s six months apart feel like a year to them is....friendship? not a fucking chance. mike and el are a couple, and according to mileven fans, they’re the main couple of the show who are in love and are going to be an endgame couple. why save this incredibly romantic coded trope for will and mike, the best platonic bros? idk, you tell me. and the fact that the line about emotions came from someone in the love triangle?? and it was said to someone else in the love triangle?? not a coincidence.

edit: someone reblogged and pointed out how el said 185 in her letter to mike that we SEE him reading. there is no reason for him not to know how long it's been. so either he isn't paying attention to a damn thing el says in her letters or he is just extremely in love with will

another edit: i keep seeing reblogs of people saying they're probably referring to the time since mike and el started dating, which i used to think too. but the context when mike and will say a year makes it hard for me to believe.

"but you knew she was having trouble for like a year and you didn't tell me"

here mike is specifically talking about el's bullying problem which has only been going on since the byers have been gone and she enrolled in school. what he's talking about is something very strictly related to the time since they moved, and it's been six months, not a year.

"you called maybe a couple times. it's been a year, mike. meanwhile el has like a book of letters from you."

will is again, very specifically talking about something that strictly happened between the time since the byers left and the start of s4. he's saying how crazy it is that it's been a whole year and mike has barely called. but it hasn't been a year, it's only been six months.

"the last year has been weird, you know? and you know, max and lucas and dustin, they're great, they're great, it's just..it's hawkins it's not the same without you. and i feel like maybe i was worrying too much about el...i don't know maybe i feel like i lost you or something."

this one i will cut some slack, i think he could be talking about literally the last year, as in since the beginning of 1985. but immediately after he starts saying how home hasn't been the same without will (and separates his relationship with will as being different than his relationship with max dustin and lucas and even el), something specific to the time since they byers have been gone, six months, not a year:

in conclusion: mike and will referring to their time apart as a year when it’s only been six months is not a mishap on the writer’s part. they go out of their way to make sure you know exactly how much time has passed, down to the number of days, and they put this much attention on time in every season. and in the same season mike and will do this, there is a line in the SECOND LINE OF THE OPENING SCENE OF THE SEASON about emotions making time go by faster or slower.

byler is going to be a s5 surprise, but its not coming out of nowhere. there’s piles of subtext in every single season---enough that when you look back, it all makes sense. small details like this aren’t outlandish because this is without a doubt the length writers will go to keep something hidden, and in byler’s case and many other tv show plots case, to keep something a surprise. and for christ’s sake, WATCH THE SHOW! the amount of attention to even the TINIEST details in stranger things is insane. they put so much thought into everything---not just ships, and not just byler. idk how many times the writers are going to have to say details matter and that there are no coincidences until people believe them.

anyways, byler is endgame. thanks for reading :)

Worked some more on 80′s fic today that @unspuncreature and I have been plotting. This was based on a scene that @theseptemberist helped me come up with where the boys go skinny dipping. After a brief wrestling match, Obi-Wan fucks Anakin’s mouth like it’s a toy 🥰

Very NSFW below the cut

Anakin could take more of him now, practice having made his technique almost perfect. And it was because of Obi-Wan - because Obi-Wan had touched him, defiled him, taught him everything he knew. Anakin wanted to be like this, pressed into the earth while Obi-Wan fucked into his mouth, because Obi-Wan had made him like this.

Gripping the back of Anakin’s skull with one hand he cupped his jaw with the other, his touch tender despite the tremble in his hips and the madness in his veins. Anakin opened his eyes and groaned around Obi-Wan’s cock, spit dribbling down his chin and jaw, collecting against Obi-Wan’s palm as he felt his cock beneath Anakin’s soft cheek.

“I’m going to move,” he said.

Anakin closed his eyes and relaxed.

Needing no further invitation Obi-Wan began fucking into Anakin’s mouth, using him like he was some sort of toy to be shoved into. The sound was already obscene, Anakin’s spit mixing with the click of Obi-Wan’s cock as he hit the back of Anakin’s throat repeatedly. He kept his movements steady despite the need to thrust into him until Anakin was split apart, lips broken, throat bruised, tears spilled across his cheeks.

His cock was encased in tight, wet heat, Anakin’s teeth just barely grazing the top of his cock. His balls pressed against Anakin’s chin before swinging back with each thrust, the sight obscene and delicious and so terribly perfect. Obi-Wan gripped his head a little harder and pulled back when he felt Anakin begin to struggle. Anakin gasped and collapsed back into Obi-Wan’s touch, lips pink and covered in spit, his eyes cloudy with lust. He was covered in darkness, Obi-Wan’s shadow blocking the light of the moon, but Obi-Wan could see his eyes, bright like embers, capable of turning into a raging inferno at the slightest spark.

Obi-Wan wanted to see him lose control; wanted to touch the flame for just a moment.

Once he’d collected himself Anakin moved back in for more, running his lips along Obi-Wan’s length a few times, sending little shockwaves of pleasure through Obi-Wan. He gripped Anakin tighter and pushed himself back in, grunting as he was once again encased in Anakin’s throat. He took more of him this time, Anakin relaxing further into the intrusion. He pet Anakin’s throat, feeling the bulge his cock was making, and moaning softly when Anakin’s muscles flexed.

He started moving again, spearing his cock into Anakin’s hungry mouth. Anakin kept their eyes locked, Obi-Wan ensnared in his fucked-out look, his eyes glassy and hungry, lashes coated in tears as he let himself be taken. Beneath him Obi-Wan could feel Anakin shifting, and chanced a glance over his hips to see Anakin humping up into the empty air, his hips twitching of their own accord as his mouth was fucked. His cock was thick and red, balls pulled up tight. Obi-Wan wished he could see between his legs - his taint and his hole, pretty and pink and twitching, desperate to be licked and sucked and tongue-fucked.

But he was too far gone to do anything save for shove his cock repeatedly down Anakin’s throat, his hips thrusting, cock pulsing thick rivulets of precome down into Anakin’s throat. He had to lift from Anakin one last time - give him time to collect and rest - before Anakin lifted his head and took him back in. Obi-Wan got lost in the sensation of Anakin’s throat around his cock, suction tight and wet and hot, and how he gripped on to Obi-Wan’s hips and thighs, fingers digging into the muscles so tight Obi-Wan was sure he would leave bruises.

They took from each other in equal measure until Obi-Wan was spilling into Anakin’s eager mouth, holding on to his head as he pushed as far as he could. Anakin tried to swallow down but Obi-Wan could see him struggling and pulled away to give Anakin room to breath. Anakin gasped and closed his eyes, his brows furrowing as he caught his breath and took the rest of Obi-Wan’s load across his jaw and neck, some pooling along his collarbone, thick and milky and salty to taste.

Sitting back Obi-Wan rested some of his weight on Anakin’s stomach, his knees dug into the sand below. They were both breathing loudly, shaky and wet, and Obi-Wan could feel Anakin trembling beneath him. Anakin looked filthy beneath the moonlight, covered in sweat and tears and spit, Obi-Wan’s come trailed along his dark flesh like pearls.

He was the most beautiful thing he’d ever seen - perhaps ever would see.

my company uses Yammer as a work-social media thing and I just read their whole presentation on how you can create your own Yammer Storyline (basically your own personal social media page) and it has this page on things to consider before posting and it lists things like:

tag other people and comment on their posts

post 1-2x daily to establish yourself but don't post too often so that you don't annoy people

cross promote your post in other communities through hashtags

excuse me? this sounds exhausting and like why would I do that at work? I spend enough time managing my personal social media accounts without deciding to do one of those for just intra-work people

oh but wait, they also say why you should consider it: by doing this I can introduce my online persona and branding! and then grow that brand and my connections! and it provides value! and it builds me up to be a thought leader! wow!

Detective Comics #30

Summary: Doctor Death’s actually still alive (gasp) and trying to steal diamonds

Cover date: August 1939

So Bruce is chilling at home, reading the news and smoking a pipe (I don’t put screenshots of it but he’s smoking in virtually every scene as Bruce, which is a lot of smoking for someone who’s depending on his lungs to run around rooftops) when he sees a news article about a guy dying mysteriously. Nothing about it is really distinctive, but Bruce soul-reads that only Doctor Death could have done it and goes to talk to the guy’s widow. Turns out Doctor Death WAS threatening them for money, but actually they’re flat broke, except for a treasured collection of diamonds which she still has and should probably do something about, now that she thinks about it. Bruce just tells her to keep those diamonds in a safe place and goes home.

(tfw you wear ur yellow plaid suit around town but you gotta change into ur green suit at home before u can change into ur batsuit)

Bruce proceeds makes a series of 6D chess move decisions beyond the fathoming of my mortal mind. He breaks back into the woman’s apartment at night and busts open the safe with the diamonds to do...something?? But one of Doctor Death’s minions also breaks in halfway through, so Bruce decides to sit back and let him take the diamonds so he’ll lead Bruce back to Doctor Death afterwards. Unfortunately, the woman comes into the room and the minion (a guy named Mikhail) attacks her, so Batman has to go to the trouble of actually fighting him or something (ugh).

Then, once Mikhail is unconscious in the yard, Batman grabs the diamonds, in full view of the woman, and just tosses them down onto Mikhail’s body so that he’ll still take them back to Doctor Death when he wakes up.

Woman: oh thank god you prevented him from stealing my diamonds- Batman: No.

The woman conveniently faints at this point, so we never see her reaction or protest to this. Mikhail doesn’t question any of this either when he wakes up (”oh, good thing I kept my grip on these!”), so he drops off the diamonds at a pawn shop and then goes back to his house, which Batman searches after knocking him out again. He doesn’t find much, but he takes so long that Mikhail wakes up a second time and starts fighting him until we get THIS iconic scene

Because 1930s Batman had no Alfred, no Robin, and absolutely no fucks to give about anything. Batman is now 2 for 2 on killing Doctor Death’s minions. After a brief period of zero remorse, he goes back to investigate the pawn shop owner who, shockingly, turns out to be Doctor Death in disguise. Batman easily beats him up and leaves, leaving another dramatic note behind.

All in a day’s work.

Batbody count: 4 (Batman snapping Mikhail’s neck like a toothpick)
