If the S5 title is ACTUALLY "the disappearance of Mike Wheeler" that means we're going to see WILL screaming, sobbing, foaming at the mouth at Mike's disappearance. It'd really parallel the first season a lot

Me every time I watch or read a rendition of a character and the OP has flown with the idea that "this character's lapse in judgement is actually a defining characteristic for their future interactions and defines them rather than being a poor decision the character made"

#mike wheeler #eren yeager #this is @ those two specifically #I've read so many “not my fault you don't like girls” as = homophobic mike takes that if I had a quarter for every time I'd probably have #over 5$ probably even 20$ #mike??? the boy who clocked whats his face for being homophobic to will in s1?? #like even finn said that the script literally said “like girls YET” and that mike doesn't KNOW will is gay #im not diminishing the fact that the current take has a wildly different impact #than how the script wouldve went #but the fact that people take everyone's actions at face value #rather than thinking about their reasoning or what they meant #and eren #omg #ive read a lot of toxic eren hcs or eren being a fuckboy #like bro #EREN himself literally said that what he did was a mistake #putting aside the wild actions he did in s4 #like him being an ass was an ACT #isayama even said so #aot #st #a lot of this is based on interpretations on characters #but the idea that people can't go back to who they used to be seems to not be one that people like #sometimes change is deciding that you liked who you were #that you tried something new and didnt like it #sometimes taking two steps back IS taking a step forward #rambling #idk maybe i just see the soft side of characters more #that's not to say they shouldn't apologize for their action #but that one moment or string of moments shouldn't define someone for the rest of their lives

Mike confronting Will about lying about the painting?

No, give me El who sees the painting and pieces it together. El who doesn't know this version of Mike, but knew him from before, who sees his face everytime he looks at the painting.

El, who thinks it isn't fair that Mike got upset about her lying to him, that Will is the exception.

El, who thought the painting was for a girl. El, who doesn't understand what this means, but in a way does.

El who can't bear to see two of the most important people to her be so upset. El, who sits Will down and asks about it.

#st #stranger things #byler #mike probably indirectly asked el if she knew about the painting / knew what a commission was #mike has RARELY gotten mad at will #exception of the rain fight #i stand by the idea that will is his exception #this could lead to either a) will coming out to el #or b) will decides to talk to MIKE about the painting #i'm a sucker for soft byler #my bones are miwi

I will never shut up about the parallel between Mike and Lucas both losing someone they love and doing anything to get them back

#byler #lumax #st #duffers I'm BEGGING for them to bond over this #just.......... the idea of lucas and mike knowing and understanding that the other understands completely what they're going through #lucas immediately knowing it's about will and not el #mike doing everything he can to support lucas #bc he understands what it was like when everyone doubted him about will #lucas and mike being the byler and lumax mvps #what's the platonic wheelclair ship name #because that's then #we need them to be best friends again #mike wheeler #lucas sinclair #stranger things

Consider the "I'm the only one who cares about him" but in reverse. Will just being adamant about helping or protecting Mike

Or realizing with dawning horror that he's the "only" one that cares about Mike

#byler #st #of course not the only one #but everyone just brushing off mike and then will going “wait wtf” #mmmm mike getting vecna'd #so then we come complete circle with will's possession #will byers #mike wheeler #give me mike whump next season pls and thank you #will has enough trauma he doesn't need more #let's make mike suffer #and have vecna out his gay ass #fyi this is the only instance of outing I accept #I say this as someone who HAS been outed before

[fryeswiththat]

Nothing will ever hit as hard as MIKE, in addition to the audience, thinking that Will's speech in the van was a feelings confession. Then getting slapped with "tell her; you're the heart" from Will later on. Thinking Will feels the same only to get crushed hours later

#byler #st #stranger things #I gobble this up for lunch dinner and breakfast #THIS is the kind of miscommunication that I can get behind #they're in love your honour

Me feeling frustrated that it took us until the final ST season to finally get Byler

Vs me realizing that it happening in the final season means that Netflix can't cancel it when it inevitably happens and we'll get a conclusion to the series in addition to confirmed Byler

#st #stranger things #byler #I heard netflix is BAD for cancelling lbtq series the moment they include a community pairing #whether it's bc of the pairing or just circumstantial is unclear to me #but the pro of it happening last season is that we GET to see what the duffers intended! #unless netflix takes s5 away from us but it always seems to happen for the next season not the same season #correct me if I'm wrong #I used to watch dramas and sci-fi on netflix (dont have it anymore) so most of this is from the grape vine #like it sucks that it took so long esp with their (byler) communication lately but hey at least we get everything from the series

In a dream where Vecna gives his victims what they want, Jonathan lives with the knowledge that his brother was found. That Will still had nightmares about what happened but he's alright. He's happy. Joyce is happy.

Jonathan tries as hard as he can to break through the mold, tries to see the cracks in the walls - but there's nothing there. Just the sound of the Party playing another session, his brother shyly sharing glances with Mike and Mike doing it back.

Watching his brother attend dances with Mike, Mike who acts like he did before everything went Wrong(tm). Jonathan wakes up after nightmares routinely but - it's hard not to want this life.

A life where some things went wrong but not everything.

And if there's a part of him that realizes what this is, that this is a concept of his own imagining, it's riddled with guilt. Guilt for wanting a "simpler" life, for feeling like wanting it and changing what happened to Will is acting like it was Will's fault to begin with. But it's a life without tragedy and mayhem, where he doesn't have to keep a bat beside his bed.

Everything is fine. It's fine and it's difficult to get used to. This can be his one regret that he'll suffer with, until he can get out.

That's his plan, really, right until he hears Running Up That Hill play on the radio and winces - and sees Mike wince too. Mike, who acts like everything he's not, has pretended not to be in the Real World. Who watched Will with misty eyes and lingering hands, not wanting to let him go. All instances Jonathan chalked up to his dream's manifestation. But it's real, and Mike is real, and he's here. He's here with Jonathan, wanting the same thing he does. Wanting to love Will like Will loves him.

(And Vecna laughs, goading, later, sneering with a mouth of vines and charred lips. "And what would dear Will think, to know that the both of you wanted him to be different?")

#st #byler #stranger things #sorry not sorry #listen i NEED jonathan and mike to bond #I'm feral for the idea of Jonathan being there for Mike with coming out like he was with Will #jonathan byers #mike wheeler #gay mike wheeler #you'll be prying this hc from my bleeding hands #mike + jonathan sharing the same dreamworld is something I cherish

[fryeswiththat]

Imagine Vecna doing a complete 360 with his powers. He pulls his victim into a dream - and that's exactly what it is. A dream. There's no blood dripping down the walls, no gouged victims. Just the idyllic touch of grass under their feet, the loving comfort of a mother's hug.

A world where things are almost close enough to the real thing, sitting close enough to home that it feels almost right. Billy still mocks Max but he moved in with his mom. Will never went missing, or he did and was found lost in the woods. Bob got mauled by a pack of feral dogs but lived. Max had a car accident but survived with broken bones. That person they liked shares long glances with them across the room. Everyone acts the appropriate way to a world without horror.

Their greatest fantasy come to life.

All except for the prickling touch of cold wind at the back of a neck and whispered, "You can stay here."

And the distant, panicked screams of onlookers as his victim floats in the air, music blaring. (But in a world like this, would you even want to wake up, knowing what was out there waiting for you?)

My earnest reaction every time I receive a comment on one of my fics:

Any commenter immediately lives rent-free inside my head. You are my life's blood. I write for you

#ao3 #fanfiction.net #fanfiction #writing #I got a comment the other day saying they loved the ship and I've never stopped thinking about it #someone made a joke 6 years ago on my other fic and it still mkes me laugh today #I leave comments all the time and where I can #comments make the train go choo choo

I'm lowkey obsessed with the idea of Vecna taunting Will about Mike not wanting Will as a friend. Mike, who is present, can only stammer that it's not true. But Vecna's mouth is full of rot and he keeps smearing the truth.

(And Mike's truth is that no, he doesn't want to be ((just)) friends with Will - he wants to be boyfriends. But where Vecna's mouth drips venom and cruelty, Mike's is filled with shame and it's so hard to get the words out. And the hole keeps getting dug deeper.)

#stranger things #byler #byler brainrot #Vecna outting people and twisting the truth in front of others gives me LIFE #because he won't give the whole story #give us mike's internalized homophobia or give me death #I'm going to write this one of these days #gay mike wheeler #will byers #mike wheeler

With all the grief I've heard about Disney+'s Annabeth not fitting her book description, not once have I seen those same people bemoan about Percy "black hair and seafoam eyes" Jackson being cast as a BLOND kid.

#percy jackson #pjo series #annabeth chase #this is about race and we know it #I've only seen up to the minotaur scene and can't account for her acting #but I find Scobell's acting fine #I love who they chose for Percy's mom but I mainly loved her in nos4a2 #and this post is based only on what I've personally seen on tk videos #I'm sure there are people out there who dislike both and really like both acting choices #this has the same vibe as the hp cursed child casting of hermione with people hating on it #the titular character not being book accurate is the worst offense imo. anybody else could be changed as they please
