• n back to the dino boxers imagine during sex you go to take off her pants and see she has those on and you just freeze and ellie notices and her whole face turns red

“oops i forgot i had those on…” she says holding back a lil giggle. “surprise i guess?”

you can’t help to smile at her and laugh a little because she’s still so silly even during this

Mike and Will literally share shoes (and Will might be sleeping in Mike's room) and might not be dating yet when they start dating they're gonna share a whole closet and flirt with each other about how good they look in each other's clothes and just being obnoxious (I will rewatch those scenes so many times) what if they're sharing/swapping shoes because it's the 80's and they're in a really homophobic and conservative town and if they want to give little hints that they're dating and want to openly show it (to at least their friends) they have to be subtle about it? and maybe when they're at home they share clothes without feeling like they have to be careful with how they act around each other and can be openly affectionate (like them in s2)

Thank you for pointing it out @cler1csfink

Confirmation that they're the same shoes and they're both size 10 so yeah they're sharing shoes

and Mike brought these shoes from Hawkins which means the puma suede belong to Will

and in a leaked footage El and Mike broke up/ were already broken up because Mike says "we'll still be friends" and "i wanted to tell you first" which makes me think he might have came out to her (and in that video he was literally wearing his boyfriend's shoes)

video from @nowmemoriees

in s1 during that scene on the train tracks they're friends and in the leaked video they were wearing similar clothes to what they were wearing in that s1 scene where they were friends and could trust each other. i think Mike's gonna come out to her (as gay) there which would explain why El was crying, and why Mike said "i wanted to talk to you first", in s1 Mike said "friends tell the truth" to El and in s5 it's Mike's turn to be honest about himself and maybe he'll tell her he's in love with Will or maybe he'll tell her that he's dating Will

it's the same song that played when Robin came out to Steve, obviously Steve had a crush on Robin but she's a lesbian and can only love him platonically while even though Mike tried to love El romantically he couldn't do it because he's gay and he didn't even bother to close his eyes and kiss her back

plus in a deleted script it says he was mad at himself

and the song playing when Mike and El were kissing in s3 "can't fight this feeling" is about someone being in love with their friend and not knowing what to do about it while already being in a relationship with someone else so it's about Mike being in love with Will and not knowing what to do so he represses it and pushes him away to get over him but then realizing it's not working (which is something he realized at the end of s3) and he's gay and he want on a double date with Will and Lumax after that

and Mike in s4 was trying to be normal and might be into new things (men, because dnd is not new)

and

and in s4 "in the closet at rink o mania" started playing Mike took what Will said "and us?" as romantic and felt the need to clarify that they're friends and Will said they used to be best friends and the camera panned back to Mike plus synth music is his thing since he has "Smalltown Boy" (gay song) as his first song on his spotify playlist, it's a song about a gay man leaving his homophobic town to start a new life and Finn said he wants Mike to leave Hawkins

and he has a "one way" sign pointing to his closet because he's gay and closeted and in his room he has a poster of a shirtless man while the others (Steve, B*lly, and Lucas' "friends") all have women posters because they like women

Mike being obsessed with Superman? and him having a poster of a shirtless man while Steve, B*lly and the tigers all had posters of women in bikinis (because they like girls) Will has a skinny pink panther poster in his room which symbolizes his type in men (Mike) Mike has a shirtless man poster and a buff male dragon poster which symbolizes his type in men (Will) (he's not really buff but he's stronger than Mike) they're each other's type and love each other plus you can see Mike looking at Will's arms during some scenes

also in s3 he was happy about Dustin having a gf and asked him about her but then in s4 when he "finds out" Will has a crush on a "girl" he doesn't ask him about "her" and acts distant (he was pretending he didn't care but he was jealous) and he asked Will about the painting because he was hoping it was for him (it was)

and he realized Will loves him back in the van scene, Mike wants to feel needed and Will needs him, Mike felt lost without Will, Will felt lost without Mike, Will loves him, Mike loves him back, they both think the other doesn't love them, they will prove each other wrong in s5 when Mike finds out Will lied about the painting and loves him back, they love each other the way they want to be loved

and he was so happy to see Will drew a heart on his shield

which is literally an engagement ring, no hands because they'll be more than friends in s5

they've been filming a lot at that farm.. and Ross and his wife said that they enjoyed eyewitness

and Lukas and Mike both have internalized homophobia (Lukas was dating a girl to be normal and then he breaks up with his gf and starts dating Philip,his male best friend)

and if this leak is actually correct there would be another parallel

because in eyewitness Lukas gets injured and his boyfriend stays with him and he kisses his forehead, Lukas' dad sees it (he's ok with it), it would explain why Karen was at the hospital and why they needed an ambulance on the set, so if this leak is true then Will's gonna kiss Mike's forehead and Karen is gonna see it (that would mean Mike and Will are already dating)

and in s2 Mike stayed with Will at the hospital so now it's Will's turn

they've been filming a lot at that farm.. and Ross and his wife said that they enjoyed eyewitness and they filmed at like 3 or 4 different farms (one of them has swings) and they're literally filming at one right now

more s5 leaks and Mike and El staying friends after the break up and Mike being worried for Will <33 and Mike and Robin bonding over their partners being in danger

Will is wearing one of Mike's shirts in s5, Mike wore something similar in s3 it's a gap shirt and Eddie said Mike wears gap shirts and Will has never worn something like this in the previous seasons and he didn't bring that many clothes back to Hawkins so he's gonna have to wear Mike's if he's staying at Mike's (the Wheelers added 2 chairs to their breakfast table and Will's tiger plushie is in Mike's room, it makes me think that they're already dating in the scene because Will is wearing blue yellow and green which are Byler's colors

Noah liking another byler edit? fork found in the kitchen. pic from @iamforbyler from here . there are hints that Mike and Will's first kiss will be in s5 episode 7 (during Jopper's first kiss there were boxes that said MW705, Mike and Will s5 episode 7) they definitely told him to promote Byler again to introduce Byler as boyfriends to the GA and Millie is not promoting mlvn anymore and when they asked her what her favorite pop culture couple was she said the couple from twlight instead of mlvn

Will's wearing Mike's black jeans, the blue shirt looks like something s2 Mike would wear but the undershirt looks like Will's in s4. he's just stealing his boyfriend's clothes atp because Will has never worn black jeans before and he's wearing blue (Mike's color) and Mike's the only one in the party who has worn black jeans and Will might be staying at Mike's because his tiger plushie was in Mike's room and the Wheelers added 2 chairs to their breakfast table plus Will has to stay at Mike's since he doesn't have a house in Hawkins and the cabin is too small for all the Byers to live in.

maybe he's wearing Mike's black jeans from s5 instead of the s4 ones but either way they're still Mike's jeans since Will has never worn black jeans before s5 and Mike has, Will is stealing his boyfriend's clothes, plus Mike is wearing Will's shoes in s5 <33

Byler is so obviously gonna happen even without all those proofs because they gave mlvn the stancy storyline of Nancy not being able to say "I love you" to Steve because she's in love with Jonathan and they didn't give that storyline to Jopper, Lumax and Jancy or even Duzie which are healthy couples who don't lie about who they are to each other and never felt unloved by their partners, and Mike wants to feel needed and Will needs him and El doesn't and Millie said El realized she's her own superhero and that she's gonna figure out who she is without Mike and Millie is not promoting mlvn anymore

Mike and Will spent s3 acting like they were the exes because in s2 Mike was overly affectionate with Will but he stopped doing that when he got a gf because he saw what he did as romantic so in his mind being affectionate with Will even just hugging him or just holding his hand like he did in s2 would be cheating because he's in love with Will and he's gay

Mike becomes less and less interested in El the more feminine she becomes, it becomes more difficult for him to pretend he's straight i mean he "fell in love" with her when she looked like a boy and people kept calling her a boy..

Mike probably thought she was a boy at first, everyone kept calling El the boy with the buzzcut at first in s1 and Mike said "that's not Will" instead of "that's a girl" and interesting thing is the more feminine El becomes the less interested in her Mike becomes, he probably thought El was a boy at first and she was wearing a yellow shirt (Will's color) maybe she reminded him of Will?

I mean Mike being gay aside who would you rather for him to be with?

A, with someone who doesn't understand him and he feels like he has to change himself to be with and who makes him feel insicure?

B, with someone who he feels like he can fully be himself with and who understands him and who puts him on the first place and makes him feel loved? B right? with Will

Jancy had their "we're just friends" moment and they kissed in 2 and Jopper had their "it's just 2 friends getting together for a nice dinner" moment and they kissed in s4 , Lumax had their "she's not my girlfriend" moment and they kissed in s2 and Byler had their "we're friends, we're friends" moment (started by Mike who doesn't know Will is gay) and they'll kiss in s5, there were no moments like these between Dustin and Lucas because they're not in love with each other

Byler's first cameo in a book and they're kissing and holding hands<33 it's about Alina wanting to ask a guy out and she catches the guy (Ben) kissing his boyfriend (Janos), there's carved "W+M" on the tree and a "byler" sign in the second pic, they probably asked permission to Netflix and people who worked on st to add them which makes Byler already canon? the author of the book reversed the arrow on Mike's pocket to point at Will.. and it's close to his heart.. that's adorable

Vent post y'all are gonna hate me for.

I viscerally hate how the Duffers treat most of their non white or queer characters and I hate even more viscerally, how y'all big byler blogs in your circle jerk of other 5 big byler blogs casually like to ignore many red flags the show has.

Y'all like to say: "tHe DufFeRs ArE gReAt WrIteRs" and it's like girl, who are you lying to??? They aren't top shit writers at all. The Duffers are pretty mid imo. Yeah, they run a good show that's fun to watch and theorize abt , but that doesn't mean they're good writers cuz they're not.

1. they completely side lined Will during s3 for the sake of their straight romances: lumax, jancy, mlvn, duzie and partly stobin (even if stobin wasn't endgame, thankfully, Steve's intentions were clearly wanting to date Robin and they gave it a lot of screen time). Will was sidelined bc he didn't fit the straight romance plotline bc they planned to make him gay or whatever. Now in s4 Will and his feelings have been used as mlvn toilet paper. Yes, we like to say this is build up for byler but canonically, Will's feelings have been used to clean the shit mlvn leaves behind.

2. Billy was sympathized a lot during the last 2 seasons. They gave him the sad backstoryTM in order for ppl to feel sorry for him. Billy's backstory is literally Jonathan's but whatever.

3. El's anger issues are constantly girlboss-ified. They down play her bullying situation and literally just use it for El to be a ''girlboss" without realizing how triggering that is. As someone who has lived bullying, seeing it be ignored by canon and fanon is super sad. The whole Rink-O' Mania experience must have been so traumatizing for her yet, everyone absolutely forgets abt it 🤷🏻‍♀️

4. Robin, Erica and Argyle are stereotypical characters. Robin is the quirky lesbian with social anxiety, Erica is the badass black woman and Argyle is the Latino stoner that sells weed to white kids and works as a pizza delivery guy.

5. Altho Argyle and Eddie both do drugs, (Eddie actually sells K-12 to a minor and nobody batted an eye. He has a huge fan base). Eddie is held in a pedestal bc "poor thing 🥺 he lives in a trailer with his uncle 🥺". Tell me a single fact you know abt Argyle that isn't "he smokes weed", "he is Jonathan's only friend", "drives a van" and "he works at a pizzeria". Exactly, Eddie is given a useless backstory and Argyle isn't.

6. Dustin stopped being important to the plot sometime around s2 and s3. He is only there to curse and be mildly funny. My guy needs to hangout with ppl his age cuz he only hangs out with seniors.

7. El needs to stop having so much "I'M THAT BITCH" screentime like I need in s5 for El's arc to not just be her becoming more powerful and falling in love with Mike. I need the Duffers to explore her trauma and problems.

8. Angela should have been run over by the van.

9. Patrick should have been given a backstory that isn't the basic "strict black parents that hit their kids cuz they are a disgrace". Patrick's backstory is actually racist af, fight w the wall.

10. As Lex already said, they didn't trigger tag the ep where Jason and his friends assault Lucas and Erica. Like wtf? Why was that necessary? Why did I have to see a black boy being held at gunpoint by some white guy?? Was it relevant to the plot?? I don't think so. And then I've got to see ppl online be like "Jason wasn't that bad. He was just mourning" like bitch you can stfu. This is what happens when you make the racist assholes conventionally attractive.

Also the fact that Lucas's arc is fulfilled by him fist-fighting Jason and "embracing his weirdness" aka accepting he is black. His arc was not fulfilled at all cuz that ending spoke so loud to me. It showed how little empathy ppl have towards the struggles poc ppl living in the Midwest have. Y'all circle jerks can only see racism when it's super obvious.

Furthermore, parents complained when ST showed "an excessive amount of smoking" yet nobody batted an eye when Billy tried to run over Lucas, when Erica (an 11 y.o ffs) was chased by white kids or when Lucas was held at gunpoint by Jason.

All of this happened while they focused on Max's guilt and mourning that, yeah, are important but certainly not less important than racism!!!

11. In s3, they gave us that whole Nancy vs The Bigots arc that was honestly just triggering and useless. It didn't help Nancy's character at all, quite the opposite it put unnecessary angst.

12. Lonnie being presented as an abuser just for him to never be spoken of again. Can we please get to explore the trauma he left the Byers's with?

13. The fact that both queer relationships are considered "sloppy seconds" is extremely sad. Both Vickie and Mike are rebounding from their failed relationship with Robin and Will. These 2 ships have caused more commotion than Jancy and Jopper together! (These last ships are technically sloppy seconds too but everybody forgets that. Shocker!!)

14. Last but not least, ppl blame Argyle for being the one to get Jonathan into smoking weed as if Jonathan probably wasn't the one looking for it. Let me tell you, that you only find weed if you look for it.

#P.S: I'm gonna pay attention to how many ppl send me hate bc of this or block me #stranger things #lucas sinclair #st vickie #robin buckley #jason stranger things #will byers #dustin henderson #eddie munson #argyle #jonathan byers #erica sinclair #byler #← target audience #byler target audience

Snippet of something. Steve and El both came from the lab, season 3 canon divergence thing, kinda angsty. Idk. I tried.

———

“We wrote to each other.”

Billy looks over at El from the third rewind of Grease, waiting for her to continue. “When we were learning, we would write to each other. As practice. He would tell me to have a good day. Or what he was doing.”

She paused, sniffled. Billy offered no comfort; he didn’t know how and she wouldn’t want it. “And I would tell him what was on my mind-“ this time she swallowed and when she spoke again it was wet “and when we were apart we would write letters to read when we got back together and-“ the sob was nasally and so so heart wrenching that Billy wanted her to stop. But she needed to get this out. “And I know he can’t read them but I need to… I need to” she finally looked at him and Billy felt his own eyes turn moist. “I need to tell someone how I feel.”

Billy, yet in the face of such emotion, didn’t let the tears fall down his cheeks. “You could-“ he took a breath “-you could write to me.”

El swallowed and wiped her tears. “You can write to me too.” She looked at the tv again. “It’s good to get it out. That’s what he said.”

Billy nodded, even tho she couldn’t see it. Wiping cheeks from absent tears, he said, “I’ll add that to the list.”

…

It was rough, in the beginning. He was angry and this town was shitty and dad was shitty and Max-

Anyways. The plate. The fight. The drugs. When he woke up the next morning groggy and with Neil yelling down the hall, he had no regrets. Max was home and in fine condition. His face hurt a little, but that’s fine. It’s all fine. Except for when Neil took whatever was bothering him out on him. But that’s fine. It’s not max- the little shit head who doesn’t listen.

He spent the rest of the weekend working out and drinking. By Monday, he was somewhat prepared for high school again. So he sprayed his cologne, gathered the shitbird, and sped off to school.

He had no regrets when he walked into first period. Nor when he skipped second to smoke behind the bleachers. Nor third period. Lunch. Fourth. Fifth. Sixth. Seven-

There, he saw the fallen king, sporting a bruised face and cuts bandaged by pink bandaids with butterflies. The coach was telling him to take the period off. Obviously he had a recovering concussion and needed the break. After all, there’s a black ring around his left eye and his cheek is purple and his lips are split but no less plump-

Billy scored four fouls.

He refused to regret it.

Billy refused to regret a lot of things.

Billy will think he should have regretted more to prepare him for this.

It was bad in the beginning. Now it might be worse.

…

Billy wasn’t all there. He remembered going to work. He remembered driving around in his car. He remembered the warehouse.

Then it’s blurry. There are images. And the beach. And a girl. And Steve-

And then he wakes up in a hospital bed. Max is at his side. Her face is all blotchy and an ugly red from crying, but they’re not close enough for it to be over him.

“Who was it?” He croaks. He wants water.

Max startles, finally noticing him. She blinks like she doesn’t know what he said. He’ll need something to drink before he says it again.

Max gives him water from the cup, eye tearing up again while he sips. A single tear rolls down her cheek and she furiously wipes it away. He would normally sneer at her tears, wrinkled face and spotty flush, but he needs to know who, who died, who did he kill-

“Steve’s gone.”

…

Robin-before-the-Russians thought the worst day of her life was when Tammy Thompson blew her off to try snuggling up to Steve Harrington. Robin-after-the-Russians has had a far worse day.

It’s also Steve Harringtons fault, but not because he stole a girl. No. That would be a concern for Robin-before-the-Russians. This Robin, the one walking up to a bunch of kids, knows this will be the worst day ever. This day will surpass the day her parents discover she’s a lesbian and it will surpass the day she dies.

This terrible day is Steve harringtons fault. Because apparently he’s more than pretty hair and pompous clothing. Because he’s actually a badass that takes down evil monsters with his mind. Because he’s dead.

The kids see her coming towards them, and they look behind her where Steve would be. But he’s not there, so they look back at her. The curly haired one, Dustin, Steve’s best friend, Steve’s brother- sees it in her eyes first. His face crumples and he falls, a tiny “no” leaving his lips.

The red one follows after, going down on a knee beside dustin. One by one, Robin watches them realize. One by one, the shock and grief overtakes their innocent faces.

Robin doesn’t notice she’s not walking anymore when another girl runs past her towards to group. Seeing their distress, she turns back and faces Robin and oh-

Robin sees Steve in her brown eyes, in her clothing, in the blood dripping from her nose.

Maybe she can see the sadness on Robin like Steve, because look is all it takes. The girl let’s out the harshest, most gut-wrenching scream. She realizes he’s gone.

He’s gone.

The children grab her as she falls into them, a pile of misery if she’s ever seen one.

Robin takes another step before her legs give out. It might have been from the drugs, from the lack of food, from the torture. It doesn’t matter. The kids just lost their protector and nothing she can do will bring him back. Their image blurs as Robin succumbs to the tears as well.

Yes. It’s all Steve Harringtons fault. She just wishes he were here so she could tell him that.

…

The days after are bad, with the grief and the recovery. The town has lost so much in one night, so many lives stripped away in one single building.

The nights are worse. For those in the fire, it’s a long, dark time filled with torture devices, enclosed spaces, and monsters wearing people as masks.

Dustin doesn’t sleep much. Usually, after this happens, he has someone there to wake him up from nightmares. The first time, the party had slept in wills room and he could wake up and see his friend sleeping in his bed. The second time, he spent the night at Steve’s house, who hadn’t minded when he crawled into bed with him and El.

It was not the beginning of their friendship, already too far past that, but it was somewhere about midway. As the months passed, dustin will joined Steve’s and El’s little family in the backseat of a beemer, in the yellow kitchen, in the last dredges of milkshakes. He and Steve and el became Dustin-Steve-and-El then just Dustin-and-Steve as summer began and everyone flourishes out. He’d thought this summer would be the best with his science camp and new girlfriend and Steve and ice cream and secret Russian messages-

So. This time, afterward, there’s no one. Lucas and Erica are stuck at their parents, max at the hospital with Billy, Mike and will hidding in the formers basement, and El-

Dustin hesitates less than he should’ve before shakily getting out of bed. The walkie sits on his desk, where it has been just in case he needed Steve. But Steve’s not here, so it sits there uselessly.

But know he picks it up and dials into channel 4, “you there? Over.”

There is a long pause before another voice gives a quiet “yeah. Over.”

The device is quiet again while they wait for the other to say something. El relents first.

“I miss him. Over.”

Dustin backs up until his thighs touch his bed, then he kind of falls back onto his sheets. He stares at the ceiling as he replies “me too. Over.”

Silence again. El is probably looking at the ceiling too. He can picture her looking up. It’s not her ceiling, covered in posters and stars and paint splatters. Instead, it’s probably the Byers, the ceiling above wills bed: wood planks and dark swirls. She hasn’t gone back into their house since he-

“Do you want to have a sleepover? Over.”

He waits for her reply, clutching the walkie to his chest. For a minute, he thinks she’s not going to respond until she croaks “yeah” a pause, her voice is clearer “I’ll be there in 10. Over.”

“Copy. Over and out.”

Dustin sits up and unlocks his window.

…

Max helps Billy get from the hospital to the car, then from the car to the house. Then, later that night, she helps him to the bathroom.

She doesn’t talk to him. Doesn’t mention Neil’s silent neglect. Doesn’t mention Susan’s air headed absence. Doesn’t mention the mall. Doesn’t mention what he did.

Still.

It’s a little too much. He’s not weak. He doesn’t esnt need his 14 year old sister to take care of him. But every time Max is there to do something for him and he feels a rush of anger and it’s so big it might explode out of him and jab at her-

It just.

Goes away.

Steve - Seven - Harrington had mind powers. He’s heard the kids talk about it over the walkie talkie Max keeps locked in her room. He heard about the nudges and pulls and keeping it there.

Now he knows what Harrington did to Neil. The lack of care. Absence of anger or annoyance. Just a mellow man living his days in a mellow town. No wonder the abuse stopped.

Now he thinks Harrington did something to him.

He’s on bed rest for almost three weeks. He has a lot of time to think.

And every time Max brings him water without asking or adjusts his pillows, and the anger and annoyance rise up and release just as fast to leave him cooler and more rational-

He thinks he’s kinda ok with it.

…

Max doesn’t sleep.

Her eyes are dry and crusty. There’s bags upon bags under them, black and sunken. Her mind is slow and she can barely tell what anyone’s saying to her the first time. She’s so tired it’s all she thinks about.

The nightmares are worse than the tiredness.

Steve’s bleeding from his nose and mouth, and some’s coming from his ears too.

It’s okay, he says.

It’s gonna be okay, he tells her.

He kisses her forehead. It does not distract her from the lie.

Go with Billy, he said.

Billy will protect you, he told her.

Billy carried El and Mike from the mall, but in this dream he’s carrying her instead.

She watches Steve get smaller, and smaller, and smaller.

He does not go to her no matter how much she screams.

…

Billy doesn’t remember what happened.

But the kids do.

Robin’s the one to tell him though, bundled up in blankets and sitting in a room with all the lights on. It’s the end of August. She shivers despite the heat.

“You- it had found the kids - Mike, Max, and El - and Mike was down and Max almost was, and y- it was toting off El over your shoulder. Steve found you- it.”

He doesn’t get mad at her mistakes. His body carried a monster. (was the mind flayer the only monster though? Was it not just you? Billy- BILLY).

“What did I do?”

Robin blinked her eyes a few times. She looked into his, though his baby blues didn’t hold as many tears. “You hit him.”

He tries to hold in his confusion - a hit wouldn’t have taken him down - but she sees it anyways. She swallows and holds up a hand.

A moment.

Two.

“The Russians banged him up pretty bad. There were too many of them for him to use his mind powers - manipulation thing - good enough, so he just distracted them from me,” she swallows again and sips from the water she clutches like a life line, “But he was fine- not with the drugs of course - but he wasn’t keeling over yet-“

She sobs again. Billy’s eyes remain dry. It’s awkward.

“But he tried to stop it and it hit him again and again until he could get to you-“ another sob, “and when I found him again after he sent you off there was blood coming from his mouth and I had to help him walk to the elevator and he wouldn’t sit because I don’t think he could get back up if he did and it was too much on top of closing the gate and I couldn’t carry him-“

She’s full on sobbing now, and for a second he regrets sharing the pot. He didn’t want to deal with this. He was not the person to deal with their emotions. He did not belong in this family.

He shouldn’t after what happened. What he did.

Still, he pats her shoulder and lets her curl up next to him until she falls asleep. Then, he lays her down and wraps the blankets around her.

He is not a good caretaker. So he leaves after that. But he leaves the lights on for her so she doesn’t wake up in the dark.

…

Here’s what happened:

Russians opened gate under mall.

Mind flayer started possessing people.

Billy got possessed and then helped mind flayer possess other people.

Russians attack ice cream scoopers.

Mind flayer attacks children.

Adults kidnap and commit grand theft auto with a Russian man to help stop both of the above.

Russian man dies.

Children distract mind flayer from its prey.

Possessed Billy finds prey, takes it, and then is intercepted by prey’s brother.

Possessed Billy beats up Prey’s brother.

Brother has another nearly fatal concussion. He undoes possession on Billy, brainwashes him into taking and protecting kids, then escapes down to Russian base with his ice cream scooping friend. Superboy closes gate, liquifies his brain because he had too many traumatic brain injuries, and is near death as mall starts collapsing around him.

Ice cream scooping friend has to abandon him to make it out alive.

No-longer-possessed Billy protects kids until mind flayer is killed. Promptly passes out from previous injuries.

That’s all he could get out of Chief Hopper.

Chief Hopper was shitfaced and mourning his child.

Chief hopper still doesn’t blame Billy.

Billy wishes he did.

Maybe it's because i finished vol.2 just like an hour ago and because i feel empty inside and not in a good way but

Even without the queerbaiting, i feel like this episodes were just awful.

Mike had a total of 0 development, 0 depth. Actually, i feel like they fucked up the development he had in the previous seasons and vol.1

His life started when he met El in the woods? Did they really just reduced him to Eleven's love interest when he used to be the main character? When he had the most beautiful friendship with Will in s1-s2?

Mike is his own whole person. "My life started when i met you" my ass. What happened to "you said yes. It was the best thing i've ever done"???? Talk about ruining a character.

And they didn't even gave us an explanation as to why he was acting like an asshole? All of that just because he couldn't say "i love you" to El because of no reason at all? Was the "because what if they don't like the truth?" just for nothing?

And don't even get me started on the painting reveal. It had SO much potential, it could have been such an important moment for both Mike and Will's development but it didn't do anything. Noah gave such an amazing performance with the crying and the speech but it lead to nothing. Will is just the "sad gay in love with his best friend" trope. At least he had a little beautiful moment with Jonathan, so i guess that's something.

But they didn't even adressed Will's sexuality at all. It was kept in the subtext. We all know Will is gay but they didn't commit to his plot line. I'm not even asking about a full-on coming out scene for various reasons but they could have made a scene like when Robin came out to Steve. She didn't need to say "i'm a lesbian" but the message was there, loud and clear. But no, Will didn't deserve that apparently, even when that's all the plot line he had this season because he keeps getting pushed to the side. HE USED TO BE A MAIN CHARACTER. I HATE THIS.

And his cute speech to Mike was used for Mileven? Just so Mike could say "i love you" to her? It's that all gay people can expect when it comes to representation in a mainstream show? To be used to build a hetero couple that's been falling for 2 seasons?

And the Stancy plot line lead to nothing. And Jancy is still just there, existing, slowly losing all that made them super likeable in the first seasons.

And they killed Max, but now El has healing powers? What the fuck was that, it felt so deux-ex-machina. Also, i'm sorry if some of you found it good, but the whole piggyback felt so anticlimatic to me. Why was there a memory from little max??? It didn't serve any purpose???

And we had this villain who can literally feed on people's trauma, which was the most awesome scenario to reveal what's been going on inside Mike's head, but no, all we had was just another epic fight between El and the big bad, like every season.

What a waste of time.

oh lesbians? idk if you've heard of the book This is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar ? i found its a really interestingly written , it's the letters that these two agents on opposing sides of a time travelling war leave for each other out of a taunting sorta way that evolves over time... it's cool i liked it, even if it can be a little confusing at times because they don't ever really stop to go "and heres how exactly all of this works" when technology stuff happens...

also while its technically enemies to lovers i'll be honest the "enemy" part is never super strong in terms of like, hating one another because it never feels like they do. imo it's pulled off pretty well

yar i heard of it and saw some snippets and was not my thing by any inch of its measure because when i say i dont want enemies to lovers i really am strict with it. i dont want to read about lesbians fighting or whatever i want to read like

okay heres my basis for all my favorite lesbian media. first is Run Away With Me, Girl by battan

not lesbian media but in a similar vein of ''girls caring for each other'' media im looking for is My Broken Mariko by Waka Hirako

i dont want to or am looking for conflict or like antagonizism between the two women im looking for adult romance stories. I dont know i just dont care about ''theyre spies battling against each other but they come to fall in love'' or any general ''thjeyre on opposing sides but come to be lovers'' type thing. which is very hard because a lot of lesbians like this type of conflict media but i am a pussy who doesnt. i want to read romance mangas/stories where they come to slowly fall in love or the conflict that arises between them isnt an enemy thing. and thats very hard to find but i am a romance enjoyer before i am an action enjoyer sadly so i struggle

The Crime

Nex Benedict (they/them) was a 16-year-old nonbinary youth living in Oklahoma. They endured a reportedly vicious beating in a high school bathroom of Owasso High School, Nex died the next day in the hospital. They were a sophomore. This was February 7 and 8th. Last week, Nex was in high school. This week, they were buried.

According to KJRH

Three older girls were beating on the victim and her daughter in the girl’s bathroom. “I know at one point, one of the girls was pretty much repeatedly beating their head across the floor,” she said. That’s when she said a teacher walked in and broke it up. “Nex couldn’t walk to the nurses’ station on their own, and staff didn’t call the ambulance, which amazes me,” she said.The woman told 2 News the victim’s grandmother, who they primarily lived with, brought them to the hospital after the fight. She said the victim was released that evening but was brought back the next day and died.

Local police are investigating, but have not issued a statement or identified the victim. There is also no confirmation may of the details – how many students were involved in the assault, how many victims, what was the sequence of events, what’s been Nex’s school experience. We don’t know that being nonbinary is what triggered the assault.

We do know that nonbinary identity is often a factor or predictor of vulnerability to bullying and abuse.

Honoring Nex

Nex was born on January 11, 2008, in El Paso, Texas. They grew up in Owasso, Oklahoma. Nex was a sophomore at Owasso High School. According to family, Nex identified as nonbinary and used they/them pronouns.

According to the obituary, Nex was a nature lover. They enjoyed caring for cats but particularly loved their cat, Zeus. Nex also enjoyed watching the Walking Dead, drawing, reading, and playing Ark and Minecraft. During the funeral, their family said they loved to cook and would often make up their own recipes. Nex was also a straight-A student.

I have not yet found any online presence for Nex.

Funeral Service were at 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, February 15, 2024, at the Mowery Funeral Service Chapel in Owasso. You can read Nex obituary, but note that it refers to Nex using she/her pronouns

The Context

We also do not yet know the school’s policies, BUT it is fair to assume that they have a policy of some type that requires them to file incident reports around student violence. Furthermore, the decision to send a school based police officer to take the report at the hospital reinforces that conclusion. I expect any student experiencing that level of violence would stay with medical personnel until a family member picked them up or they were transported to the hospital. Those are basic liability issues, not unique to trans and queer students by any means.

Tell me again how in-school resource officers are effective if they don’t respond to this level of vicious violence until they get a call after school hours? Not these particular officers, per se, but the whole concept. Who was protecting Nex?

These are not extreme policies. They are pretty common. But we can definitely expect that school personnel had an obligation to address the situation before Nex went home.

Nex’s sister-in-law created a GoFundMe to raise $15,000 for the funeral scheduled for February 15.

Also unclear is why this teacher who allegedly broke it up didn’t ensure appropriate medical care on-site OR notify the police. Or the school nurse. Maybe they did? The ways that this situation deteriorated once the school was aware are endless.

Owasso Public Schools released the following statement regarding the student’s death:

“The Owasso Police Department has notified district leaders of the death of an Owasso High School student. The student’s name and cause of death have not yet been made public. As this is an active police investigation, we will have no additional comment at this time. Further inquiries should be directed to the Owasso Police Department.” “The district will have additional counselors at the school to provide support to students and staff beginning on Friday.” Owasso Public Schools

How is that not national news? A 16 year old beaten to death in a public school bathroom? By other students. All these unanswered seemingly obvious questions about what transpired, and how the adults involved acted. That should be every headline.

In fact, almost every local outlet covering the story misgender and deadnames Nex, using their same assigned at birth. The indignities pile on.

We don’t yet know if Nex’s nonbinary identity is directly tied to this incident. But, my God, it sure matters to me that this would happen to any child. A nonbinary kid assaulted in a girl’s bathroom. That outcome from the narrative of anti-trans rhetoric these past years.

Still why wasn’t this story breaking news? It involves a nonbinary student in a public school. And school violence and school police resource officers. It involves the deep fear so many trans youth have shared with me about their schools.

But false reports that the now dead shooter who invaded Joel Olsteen’s megachurch was transgender have consumed the headlines. That shooter was killed by police. Her 5 year old son was injured in the shooting. No other fatalities reported. Her identity as a cisgender woman has been clarified repeatedly, but that hasn’t stopped the false narrative.

That woman went into a church with an assault weapon and her young child. That’s horrible and newsworthy on its own. Still, the headlines fixate on the allegation she was a trans person. She was not a trans person, but the headlines stay fixated. The juxtaposition is jarring, but not new.

The shooting took place on February 11. Nex died on February 8.

Where are the these people when it comes to demanding truth about Nex’s death? Where is the outrage that any child has this experience? Who the hell is protecting other kids in that school from this outcome?

Does the media really prefer to spread misinformation about the trans community and turn a blind eye to trans victims of violence? Of course they do.

Rest in power, Nex. You endured a lot in your short life. We repeatedly did not show up for you. But you deserved better – a long, healthy, and happy life. The opportunity to simply grow up. An education setting where you didn’t fear for your life. And you deserve to be acknowledged and validated for your true identity, in your own words. I can’t imagine your terror during this assault and afterwards as your life drained away. I hope you find peace and justice now.

May your memory be a revolution.

Update – this post has been undated to correct a misspelling of Nex’s name and a reference to their name assigned at birth. One was simply a typo, but the other was inaccurate and I very much regret the harm that caused.

Being Robin Buckley’s younger sister (like ages with the other kids) headcannons please if you’re still up for hc’s 🧎🏼‍♀️🧎🏼‍♀️🧎🏼‍♀️🧎🏼‍♀️

Being Robin Buckley’s Younger Sister Would Include . . .

Thanks.

Being Robin’s sister was a blast

She was a mess, but she was a good big sister

You spent a lot of your time at Scoops Ahoy, enjoying discounted ice cream and the air conditioning

It was where you befriended the party

You and Max became quick friends

(She needed someone after El moved away)

You and Dustin too, when he came back from camp

You were probably the only one who thought Suzie was real (you were giving him the benefit of the doubt)

But you definitely collected a whole lot of betting money when it turns out she is real

Since Robin doesn’t have a license, you took it upon yourself to learn how to drive (with Max helping)

Safe to say, Steve does not let either of you drive his car

Although you loved your sister, you often found yourself on different “teams”. While she was off chasing Russians, you were with the Party

And since Robin and Steve are best friends, Steve’s like a brother

So when they hear that Billy broke out of the locker room and nearly got to you? They’re pissed

Dustin and Erica call them down and even then it’s almost not enough

And at the mall, her worried side comes out, and she almost becomes a mother hen

She’ll never live up to Steve being a mother hen, though

When the night is over and you guys reunite, she gives you a hug that almost crushes you

Literally — Steve has to tell Robin that she’s about to crush you

She’s just super relieved that you’re okay, especially since you had gone with Max, El, and Mike and were attacked by Billy

She and Steve are fawning over your head, by the way

“You might have got a concussion?” “Did he knock you out?” “How long were you out?”

They practically interrogate you and you remind them that Steve has to drive you and Robin home

But even that, Steve is instructing Robin on how to take care of your head

She’s a very protective sister and takes her role as one seriously

You’re the only other person besides Steve who knows that Robin is a lesbian

And of course you’re encouraging her to flirt with Vickie

Between you and Steve, it’s all she hears about

You always go to Robin’s band performances

And make funny faces at her

Sometimes it does mess her up

You also hang out at Family Video a lot

And get free movies

But then you take more movies for your friends

Anddd Steve and Robin notice a chunk of their inventory was gone

They were not happy

When Vecna started popping up, Robin sat you down and said that if you ever started to get headaches, nosebleeds, etc to talk to her

You promised her you would

Thankfully, Vecna didn’t come after you

But that didn’t stop Robin from worrying

She was always checking up on you

Robin just really loves you, what can I say? She’s your sister!

She’s the best person to have pillow fights with

And she’s great at cheering people up

If you’re ever sad, she’s there to make your frown turn upside down

Sometimes she’ll even tickle you and pretends to be the tickle monster

The only thing Robin draws the line at is homework, she’s not gonna help with that thank you very much, she did it once

(But she usually caves and ends up helping anyway)

It surprises people how good of a big sister Robin is, because they just don’t imagine it

She’s really on top of it

She’d be the best big sister, I’m certain of it

Hi there, I hope you are having a great day/night! I just wanted to say that I love the way you write Eloise. You portray her character beyond perfectly! 🥰 I can’t help but be my gay little lesbian self for her witty and sarcastic attitude.

I would be eternally grateful to you if you could please write an A-Z relationship post about her. You wrote such brilliant ones for the bridgerton brothers, I’d love to read one of El.

Relationship A - Z: Eloise Bridgerton x Reader

A/N: Um, of course - I’d love to do that? Thank you so much for giving me an excuse to sit down and actually write this. And also, thank you for your incredibly lovely and kind comments. I know people say it a lot, but it genuinely does mean the world to know my writing is being enjoyed by people - especially when it comes to my fellow LGBTQ+ peeps. This comment has left me smiling all day... Hope you enjoy! 💕

----

a - actions. what sort of things do they do to show they love their s.o?

She acts at ease with you, which is the clearest sign to all that she loves you. It’s like how a *spicy* cat suddenly acts like an innocent kitten around their owner, whilst simultaneously looking at everyone else like they’re plotting your demise.

Eloise never usually lets her guard down, not even around her family, which is why it means so much to you that she sits close to you, rather than pushes you away. That she immediately offers you a chocolate from the box she’s eating, whilst swatting her siblings’ hands away. That she listens when you say something, even if she doesn’t agree, rather than making some sassy remark or shutting you down as she does most people.

She also apologies to you when she’s wrong - something you once heard Colin swear would never happen, not until hell froze over.

She always supports you, as well. No matter what, she will be there, ready to fight anyone who has upset you or even so much as disagreed with you - consequences be damned. She is ride or die, and her fierce loyalty makes you feel very loved.

b - beginnings. how did the relationship begin? how has it changed?

I feel you would intrigue her, when you first met. Whether it’s your shared interests, your outspoken nature, or even perhaps your willingness to call her out … you would have to catch her attention somehow, and be deemed worthy of her time, regardless of whether you met as children or as grown women.

Also, Eloise probably wouldn’t acknowledge, or even understand that she was falling in love with you. Not at first. It would keep building and growing until she wakes one night and it hits her like a lightning bolt. She can’t live without you - and not just as a friend, but as someone who is her other half. Her partner. Her equal.

After that revelation, it’s a matter of mustering up the courage to actually tell you how she feels, and allow herself to risk the possibility you do not feel the same.

c - comfortable. how comfy are they with each other? peeing with the door open or closed? or would they rather keep the mystery?

Eloise would probably be more reserved at first. After all, old habits die hard and being a Bridgerton - one of seven at that - has made her used to maintaining a sense of privacy, lest she risk her siblings mocking her or exposing her to some embarrassment at the worst possible time.

It would take her a while to realise she doesn’t have to be that way anymore, nor does she have to maintain the wall she keeps in place to protect herself from the outside world. She can be entirely herself with you and knows you won’t abuse her for it.

d - dates. do they consider dates to be important? what kind do they prefer?

Dates are important for Eloise, but in a different way to her siblings. After all, she can spend time with you whenever she chooses, but it’s the thought behind the activity organised that means so much, rather than the activity itself. It’s a chance for you two to show how much you know about one another, and to have a new adventure together- whether it be sneaking your way into a talk about Mary Wollenstonecraft after you told Eloise how much you’d enjoyed reading her work, or letting Eloise teach you how to shoot so she has someone not actually afraid of competing with her (unlike her cowardly brothers - her words).

e - engagement. how would they propose? who would even pop the question?

Depending on your gender, you would propose if you were a man - but not until she informed you that she was ready to receive such a proposal. She’d also probably tell you exactly how to do it, even if she knows you’ll likely go rogue and surprise her for the satisfaction of keeping her on her toes.

However, if you are female, I think it could go either way. You’d definitely discuss marriage, or at least permanent companionship - and again neither of you would pop the question until you knew the other wanted you to.

f - fundamental. for them, what is the most fundamental part of a relationship?

Respect. Respect for one another, with neither feeling the inferior or the superior where possible. You are partners in everything and the comfort that brings you both allows your relationship to flourish. It means listening, trusting, and being considerate of one another and your feelings.

g - gratitude. how do they show their appreciation for you?

As I say, Eloise is a ride or die kind of person and makes no secret of it. She is constantly grateful to have found someone just as committed as she is, and does not take it for granted. She is keen to thank you verbally whenever you do something, and to leave you notes around the place expressing her joy and gratitude that you’re in her life. They’re often in code, in case someone else finds them first - but that’s part of the fun, knowing the two of you have a secret means of communicating.

h - home. a random domestic headcanon.

After sharing a room - and a house - with her many siblings for so long, Eloise takes great pride in personalising her own space. It’s just another means of exercising the control she has so longed for, which is why you permit her to collect and display whatever ornaments or items she wishes - even if she has questionable taste, as the slightly demonic looking bird (you think it’s a bird) on the mantle piece proves.

She also enjoys having a house full, so will often invite Penelope and Colin, and Benedict and Sophie, (and all their offspring) to come join you. She enjoys the chaos, and trying to corral them into performing theatricals for the entire gathering (something you all get roped into in some way or another).

i - infinite. do they believe their love is endless, or is there something that could break it?

With several siblings, and Penelope, happily married before her, I think Eloise knows how powerful love can be. However, with what happened with her mother and Francesca, I think Eloise knows life can be fleeting and that love should be cherished - even if she spends a long time being afraid of letting herself be vulnerable enough, and risking the possibility of being hurt as a result.

However, once she finds you, and realises how much better her world is for you being in it, she understands why people let themselves be vulnerable. Her world is better for the love you bring, regardless of how much time you two may have to enjoy it.

j - jokes. who's the funny one?

Her. 100%. She’s endlessly sarcastic and has a witty remark prepared at all times - a fact that has caused you to snort into your tea or glass of champagne more than once when in polite company.

It only gets worse when she and Benedict are in the same room. You half think, in another life, they’d have had a fine career together on the stage.

k - kiss. how do they kiss? favourite type?

Eloise secretly loves when you decide to kiss her in a bid to silence her from talking, whether it be in an argument or if she is rambling - as she is prone to do. It’s rather effective, to be honest, and the way she blushes afterwards is adorable.

When it comes to returning the favour, Eloise prefers giving you short, gentle kisses, normally when she enters or exits a room. They come so easily and naturally, that she does them without even thinking. She enjoys being able to be affectionate with you, and to demonstrate her love for you - especially when the others are around. There is nothing quite so funny as watching her go from being soft when pecking your cheek or lips, only to whirl and sass whichever sibling is vexing her.

l - longing. who's the clingy one? how are they with long distance?

Surprisingly, I think Eloise would be the clingy one. We’ve seen in the books how she acts when her family and friends start to marry off and disappear.

She’s very social, and is the kind of person that, once she loves someone, she loves deeply and whole heartedly. You become important to her, and therefore she struggles if you’re not there. She’d write to you every day if you had to leave her for a while - even if it was only a few days.

m - marriage. do they wanna get married?

Depending on your gender this may or may not be a possibility for you. However, Eloise isn’t exactly desperate to race you down the aisle anyway, so it wouldn’t be such an issue at first. True, as time goes by, she’d probably start to envy the way her siblings get to claim their lover as theirs, and finally agrees to getting married. (Ultimately, she can concede that those women that are married do tend to have more social freedoms than unmarried, so if anything it is an advantageous move on her part…or so she says when asked by her siblings…)

She would at least wish commemorate your union with some kind of symbol - be it a ring or just getting to sign her name on a piece of paper. Just something to solidify the fact that she has something special of her own, with someone worthy of her. It doesn't matter whether that's in a chapel in London, or privately between the pair of you in some far off European city.

n - nicknames. what ones do they like?

El. Eloise. My love. Just anything not too insipid, nor - heaven forbid - her full name. Just as her mother did when she was small, calling her by her full title is a sure signal she is in, or about to be in, trouble.

o - over the top. are they ever ott? or are they more low-key?

She’s a Bridgerton, so of course the answer is yes. She can be loud, dramatic, and doesn’t care what anyone outside of her family thinks of her but that’s part of her charm and one of the many reasons you fell in love with her. She’s also less OTT in comparison to some of her family, but you love them all dearly and treasure the fact that your life will certainly never be boring in their company.

p - picture. what's their favourite picture of them and their s.o?

One more relaxed, rather than a formal portrait. It would be something like a casual sketch done by a street artist, of the pair of you, in the park on a warm summer day. It’s the first one Eloise claims she truly recognises herself in, seeing her true self shining through, compared to all the forced and frivolous paintings she’s stood for as part of her family’s wishes.

q - quintessential. what is one thing they would refuse to compromise in their relationship? what's a deal-breaker for them?

Respect. Plain and simple. You are both individual people with equally important thoughts and feelings. Together you make a team, but she is one half of that and if you can’t acknowledge that then she has no time for you.

r - rage. who is the most likely to start an argument?

… Eloise. Do I even need to answer that? She’s just so hot tempered and hard headed that she finds herself starting rows, even if she doesn’t mean to. However, the one thing about her you can always rely upon is her willingness to apologise as soon as she’s cooled down enough to realise her error. She’s also surprisingly forgiving if you do ever start a row.. but you can bet she’s kept a tally of who won on a scrap of paper somewhere.

s - sickness. who gets sick most often? what are they like when they’re sick?

I don’t think Eloise would get sick more than a usual amount. However, I feel she is the stubborn kind of person who denies being ill until she physically cannot any longer - especially if one of her siblings is first to remark upon it. Then, she’ll insist nothing is wrong and try to carry on as normal… until she ends up passing out somewhere or almost coughing up a lung. Then she quickly gives in to your tender care and allows you to shepherd her to bed, even if she says she’ll be right as rain by the morning.

t - tattoo. would they ever get matching tattoos with their s.o, or a tattoo for them?

No, not given the time period. If this was modern Eloise, then possibly as an act of rebellion. However, not in Bridgerton as it is.

u - understanding. how understanding are they? or are they a little difficult?

Eloise can be very difficult, but that doesn't mean she isn't willing to understand something. It might take her a while, and patience on your part, when explaining something or trying to convince her to see something from someone’s else's way of thinking. However, she more often than not will come around and at least consider another way of viewing things - even if she still (deep down) believes her way to be superior or correct.

v - vases. do they buy flowers?

I don’t think she is overly fond of them herself but if you like them then she’ll have some grown for you in the garden - or in the greenhouse 😅 (I’m trying to avoid a Philip joke here hehe)

w - wandering. do they wanna travel? or immediately settle down?

Eloise would wish to explore. After all, being with a companion or married both allow women greater freedoms - something she’s longed for. So you can bet she has her bags packed as soon as possible, ready to explore and see the world far away from London and the rigidity of the Ton. That, and no one will know who you are which is the ultimate freedom of all.

x - ex. how many exes do they have? any horror stories?

Eloise doesn’t really have horror stories as she doesn’t really have any exes. True, she has tales of the suitors she has sent packing, most of which are highly amusing (especially when Penelope or Benedict re-enact the tales for you). She also has Theo (if you’re going off the tv series) but I feel you’d understand the pain that that brought her, as her first genuine romantic relationship. It also showed her that it was alright to love and that there are people out there worthy of risking the hurt for.

y - you. favourite thing about their partner?

Your spirit. Let’s be real, you'd have to have a strong one to engage with Eloise Bridgerton, but also the world in general. She loves how you aren't afraid to stand up to her or tell her when she’s in the wrong, just as you are willing to fight off anyone who has anything remotely bad to say about Eloise or yourself. You know who you are and you know what you want from the world and you aren't afraid to go out there and take it.

z - zeal. how excitable are they? who's the calm one?

Oh, Eloise is the excitable one - even if she’d deny it. She’s a veritable ball of energy and doesn't seem able to stay still for very long. There’s just too much to see and do, and so little time.

Also, once you meet the rest of the Bridgerton bunch you realise that it isn't that much of a surprise really. If anything, she’s one of the calmer of the lot... and that’s saying something.

MY STRANGER THINGS HEADCANONS!!!!1! LGBTQ+ version :>

Please note that these are MY OWN PERSONAL views, and it’s completely okay if you disagree with them! This turned out WAY longer than I expected, sorry!!

Steve Harrington is bisexual and you can fight me on this (please don’t). He doesn’t know until Robin, though

Eddie is gay as hell. Also I searched up the handkerchief back pocket code and uh.. hdksjd Eddie likes to get a bit spicy lmao

Nancy is bi, too! Also doesn’t know until both Robin and Eddie joined the trauma party (no she does not have a crush on Eddie, but he helped explain things to her)

Jonathan doesn’t label himself, but he doesn’t really care about what gender he’s attracted to! He’s really open to anyone-

Jonathan is also on the ace spectrum and you’ll probably fight me on this TwT

Argyle is pan and poly! He’s so cool, and is very supportive (also his gaydar is on POINT)

Robin is canonically a lesbian and I absolutely adore her, she’s amazing

WILL! We all know he’s gay, it’s canon and that’s beautiful, but I also think he’s on the aromantic spectrum, too! (yes it’s a spectrum, I’m aro/ace and in a relationship ^w^)

Mike is bisexual and has internal biphobia (he doesn’t know you can like both). I like to think he and Steve bond over this and Steve sees his younger self in Mike.

Also, speaking of Steve and Mike, I think Eddie would see his younger self in Will, to parallel. I love parallels

Lucas is a supportive ally and I will gladly fight on this! He’s a sweetheart, let him have nice things!! Like a super cool bi girlfriend!!!

Max is the super cool bi girlfriend!! I love her, and relate to her far too much. So I’m gonna say she doesn’t figure out she’s bi until she moves to Hawkins and has a mini crisis about it, doesn’t tell anyone, and then accepts herself within a month but still doesn’t tell anyone

El has no idea what the LGBTQ+ is until she goes to Chicago and meets Kali. She now knows about gay people! She doesn’t know anything else, tho- (doesn’t understand why ppl treat it like a bad thing) until she goes to California!! So much more information!!! She doesn’t know where she fits in all of it, but she’s super supportive and you know she’ll fight any haters

Dustin is straight, and an ally! A confused ally, but he’s got the spirit!! He has no gaydar, it’s truly unfortunate (but kinda funny, too)

Suzie!! Suzie is straight, but extremely supportive and helps Dustin (everyone) out when they need it- I like to think she learns it all from Eden!

Eden goes by she/they and is also panromantic! She’s also polyamorous and asexual. No I’m not projecting shut up

Murray doesn’t use labels, but he and Alexei are married. Soulmates. Lovers. They love each other so let them love each other.

Murray’s gaydar isn’t as good as Argyle’s, but it’s still pretty on point

Joyce is the most supportive mom ever and she will fight anyone who hurts one of her kids and she will win.

Hopper’s straight, and an eventual ally. He doesn’t support at first cause of how he was raised, but he doesn’t want to hurt the kids and Joyce. Joyce and Murray help him, along with El, Will, Jonathan, and even Suzie somehow!

Erica doesn’t really care for romance right now, nor does she want to claim anything yet. She’s still figuring herself out, even as headstrong as she is. She’s my favorite character, and so everyone is gonna support her of this

This is so long, so I’m gonna make a part two when I have more inspiration/ideas!

It’s a Metaphor: This is How You Lose the Time War

I just finished This is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone. I have thoughts...

Here there be spoilers!

Mix Red and Blue together and what you get is a novella painted entirely through with purple prose.

Time travel is a trope that used to evoke a sense of action-adventure in science fiction. Think Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure or Back to the Future. But after the meteoritic rise of The Time Traveler’s Wife, the genre became one that was less driven by science and more by magic touched with romance.

Amal El-Mohtar & Max Gladstone’s This is How You Lose the Time War swings hard to the latter. The story follows two competing organizational bodies known as The Agency and Garden. Each has access to the power of time travel, and their goal is to send agents through the multiverse’s various time streams--known as “strands”--to bend events to their respective desired outcomes.

Two of their best--The Agency’s agent “Red” and Garden’s agent “Blue”--cross paths throughout the strands while on competing missions. Until one day...or does it really start then? Red finds a piece of paper marked: “Burn before reading.” It’s a letter from Blue herself, and it kickstarts a romance that transcends the limits of space and time conducted almost entirely through letter.

Let’s cut to the drawbacks first: What are The Agency and Garden? How did they figure out time travel? Why are they so determined to wage war against each other to manipulate history? To what purpose does either manipulate history? We don’t know. We never really get to know much about any of these players or how they work. It becomes clear really quickly that the whole book is a slew of evocative imagery powered by overarching metaphor. The Agency appears to represent a cold, techno-driven vision of society (think The Matrix) and Garden appears to represent a more “natural” return-to-the-land type of world. The idea of time being represented either by the march of progress or by the endurance of the world as human ages pass it by is nothing new. So which gains supremacy? Why are they fighting each other? The answers respectively are: ‘neither’ and ‘unclear.’

As it turns out, we’re meant to be less interested in the wider world than we are in the psychological developments of Red and Blue, each of whom are rebels in their respective worlds. Red longs for individualism and Blue hungers for ownership, each of these wishes leave them dissatisfied and threaten the stability of their worlds. Consequently, their correspondence must be conducted in secret--they hardly ever share the page together.

So let’s circle back to what people love about this book. Truthfully, I don’t think there is anything more quintessentially lesbian than about 200 pages of yearning, falling in love by letter, and never co-existing in the same space. And it’s full of romantically poetic lines designed to drive the reader feral. (If I tried to quote all of them, we’d be here all day.) Why waste time trying to understand the convoluted mechanics of the plot when you can soak up the romance of long-distance forbidden love?

So in all, the appeal of Time War to me is that with its pseudo-science, magical realism, pretentious prose, and romance, it becomes the queer answer to Time Traveler’s Wife. Which is great! I enjoyed every minute of it. (But I’ll confess, I’m not sorry that it’s short and sweet.)

So if you’re picking this one up: sit back, relax, and let it wash over you. The only way to really lose the Time War is to try to take it too literally.

alright uh,,, lab rats elite force headcanons in 2023? ... you bet jesus fucking christ

(before i continue, i should just say, a lot of these are very surface level, it's been years since i've seen a single episode of lref, lab rats, or mighty med, and though i've been wanting to rewrite lref since 2016 (i mean jeez, how much i want to rewrite it is in my gd ao3 profile), i've almost certainly forgot important and not so important beats of the story, so i apologize in advance, ty)

okay, number one, starting off very strong, they are all el gee bee tee

chase is gay. and probably trans, but idk. anyways, this feels obvious lol. he/they pronouns bree is a trans lesbian ✌️ she transitioned when she was younger and either genuinely thought she was bisexual until she realized she just wasn't into men OR had some serious comphet, likely enforced by the fact most portrayals that she saw of trans women were still attracted to men so... yeah. either way, she realized she's a lesbian before the show starts. she/her pronouns oliver is bisexual and nonbinary <3 he/him pronouns, but he's definitely warming up to using they/them too kaz is trans and bisexual. completely gone for chase, def had a thing for oliver during mighty med, probably had a brief thing for bree before realizing she's a lesbian, and has never had a thing for skylar, but he would marry her for the joke. he/him pronouns skylar is demiromantic, demisexual, bisexual, and nonbinary. i have very strong feelings on all of these and will not elaborate. she/they pronouns

kaz and chase have a very obvious thing for each other. everyone knows but them type beat. except they do know. they're just too big of idiots to actually do anything about it

bree pretty much swore off relationships after everything that happened at bionic island

bree and skylar have hooked up despite this

oliver and skylar do enter a relationship at a point (later in the series/timeline), but are very quiet about. no one except kaz has caught on yet. kaz simply knows them too well and figured it out like the day after they officially got together

definitely a bit of a sub-point to the last hc, but oliver is not creepy! he does not harass the girl he likes, is not stalkerish towards her! they simply acknowledge he has feelings for her and don't let it interfere with their friendship. when she gets together with him, it's bc she genuinely likes him and wants to be in a relationship with him !!

(i'm very sorry for that whole spiel on skoliver, but they are the first real couple i shipped in anything except for maybe like,,, phinabella, so i am attached to them and because i can shape canon how i want to, i will put them in a happy, healthy, quiet relationship :))

on a similar note, that i'm pretty sure was established in the last point, but i want to drive the point home, oliver is closer to what he was in mighty med then in lref. he has a feelings journal :) he's just a silly guy who's completely gone for a pretty girl person alien :) who can't relate to that?

they all have trauma :) every single one of them :)

bree and chase have pretty much accepted that no matter how close they get to the trio, they'll really never have any sort of relationship like the three have with each other, and they've sort of figured that may be a good thing

(if the last point's unclear, i can elaborate later, but it's late when i'm writing this so,,, yea)

bree and skylar swear like sailors

oliver's mom is the one who destroyed mighty med bc it makes no gd sense to me that she didn't

kaz and chase plan out and choreograph having huge fights in the shared spaces (i.e. kitchen, living room, mission command) and the other three are getting sick of it

yes, one of the sessions where they plan out their Biggest Fight Yet, is when they get together

this is kinda a given, but kaz, oliver, and skylar all drop out

they get GEDs

bree likes to experiment with skylar's hair

bree gave skylar a wolf cut

and then dyed about 50% of their hair pink

return of the pink hair

jewish oliver. i have very strong feelings on this. he's jewish <3

kaz and skylar don't totally get it (bc cultural xianity (altho based on how long kaz has known oliver, he def gets some of it) and she's an alien from a planet with presumably no organized religions), but they are very supportive :)

saw someone say on this very website that leo sends very detailed emails/texts about what he and adam are up to every week, and bree texts like two sentence recaps of a month, and i couldn't agree more however, it must be said, bree and chase miss their brothers and video call with them every chance they get

that's all i got rn besties. will i ever actually rewrite lab rats elite force? only time will tell, but for now... here's this <3

#i think i may be the only skoliver shipper on this website. and ykw? i'm good with that #so long as y'all know i ship in the most lgbtq‚ not like lref canon way‚ we're good :)#(if it helps i do actually like brylar too)#lab rats elite force #lref #lab rats #mighty med #chase davenport #bree davenport #oliver mm/lref #kaz mm/lref #skylar storm #chase x kaz #chaz #skylar x oliver #skoliver #and a very brief appearance from brylar
