#stranger things #twelvegate #willel twins #byler #< target audience #it's not your fault mike!!#it happens to the best of us!#no but even if it wasn't in the original plans #the duffers just stumbling across the prospects of making el and will twins #upon the reminder they themselves are twins #and noah is a twin #and one of the most famous instances of twin plot twists in the history of cinema comes from star wars #i can't imagine them not wanting to go all out with it...#and the fact that no one actually believes it makes me believe it's gonna happen even more...#like they managed to make no one even that suspicious of it as a possiblity?#just cut off el's hair at rink o mania to a bowl cut and you've literally got two will byers skating around #it's almost terrifying at times #also the opening of s4 for both will and el and joyce's characters... same exact framing... they look like kin...#js

within the context of byler fights, i see a lot of people say that mike is short-tempered and like while that may be true i feel like will is even quicker to just... snap. like, he gets very emotional very quick. in their fights, mike's voice stays pretty constant and even, but will's quickly starts getting watery, loud, pointed, cracking, etc. he speaks from his chest. his tone goes up and down. he uses his hands a lot. his eyes are wild and wide and boring into mike, challenging him almost. he pokes at mike. still, mike doesn't escalate; he matches will's hurt with his own, but he doesn't outwardly burn quite as hot. not with him. i just.. idk. i think it's interesting. will's anger is often overlooked or outright ignored in fandom, but it's very clearly there.

#i just think of the rink o mania fight n the rain fight n also tht 'freak' talk he had with jonathan in s2 #and like yeah mike is immediately squaring up with literally everyone else going from 0 to 100000 #but with will? that does NOT happen. the most tht he snapped was during the rain fight when he was mean n raised his voice #but even then it wasn't as strong as how will was yelling. it was very obviously just a reflex and he IMMEDIATELY backed down #and reeled it in. and in the rink o mania fight he's not speaking to him in a warm tone but it's when will says i waSNT bEINg a DOUCHE in #tht emotional tone tht mike matches it but again it's the same story #he's not reaching will's level of rage and he doesn't even FLINCH or MOVE when will touches him #when it's them in their own little world mike controls himself n will is the one tht burns bright n hot #like. he's not ur uwu soft boy !!!!!!!! he gets Big Mad!!!!! he uses his hands he pinches his face he gets attitude he pokes n jabs!!!#in literally every other scenario will is the 👀 to mike's 🤬#but when they're arguing with each other it's mike's 😐🥺😟🫤😢 to will's 😒😤🤬🫵🗣#when it comes to will mike routinely backs down and deescalates and goes to make it right afterward #n if they come away still angry with each other then he keeps it to himself in the sense tht its not an all out war situation like w max #like idk. i just think it's interesting to think abt.#byler #mike #will #byler thoughts #if this goes in the tag i'll jump bt i want this in my own tags </3

can u expand on the byler vol2 problems

i said ask me to expand and i will and you delivered thank you for that!!! i didn't say byler vol2 problems though i said byler fandom problems post-volume 2!

i think the main thing is overcorrection. i said every major problem but i only meant the things i think of as byler tumblr trends that annoy me personally. tbh🙏 it's subjective. kind of.

i've been rereading posts from after volume 2 recently and yeah it's the "will only ever gets to be sad" to "will deserves a villain arc" kind of pipelines that you saw after volume 2 that i think are still very much happening i'm gonna talk about even though the will villain arc one died down pretty quickly. on this side of the internet anyway. some of these actually aren't volume 2 related sorry i lied i was mostly thinking about the mike stuff when i said that.

mike says i love you to el: everything always ends up being about mike somehow. i think this is the biggest one. people like the mystery and the way mike's sexuality isn't confirmed like will's is and so they analyze him more which leads to people literally rewriting history with takes like mike is more queercoded than will?😭 i get that everyone knows will is gay now but the mike focus has people thinking that will has no subtext when literally his entire storyline is full of the saddest subtext ever!!! but it's not subtext that you can choose to only read as "this boy is gay" so it's not as fun i guess😔 and it really isn't as fun. because it's mostly heartbreaking and awful lmao but yeah. just wanted to give a thumbs down to the mike is more queercoded than will take again.

mlvns say will is a whiny crybaby, bylers say going through what he's had to go through would make anyone cry just as often so will isn't even that sensitive even though he is it's literally one of the first things we learn about him lol. people imply that being sensitive is bad so often and act like will has sensitive gay kid allegations to beat when he literally doesn't like he is a sensitive gay kid😭 why do you think that's bad exactly...🎤

mike says i love you to el: 90% of people think they read everything wrong for 72-96 hours and then everyone's like oh no i get it now. byler's still endgame. overuse of the term media literacy and everyone who doesn't think or simply doesn't believe that the duffers would make byler endgame is stupid and has no media literacy. which actually comes off as very INSECURE!!!! and is frankly annoying. and obnoxious. the term media literacy needs to be taken away from byler tumblr i'm so serious.

will is not a baby just because he's gay look at these two scenes he's actually so mean and most importantly not sensitive (and then he's not even mean in the scene) and he can load a gun could a sensitive baby do that (and then he's literally 12 in the scene so like. i'm sorry but that's a baby to me😕). how dare you imply that he's sensitive, gay, and a kid. i'm kidding about the gay one because no one in this day and age is defending will by saying he's not gay but some of them might as well be because it's the qualities that made people assume he's gay that people try to say he doesn't have. the how dare you infantilize him he can load a gun one is just nonsensical because regardless of how you feel about will with a gun you're definitely meant to be like oh no this poor little kid has to defend himself all alone :( in the moment like him being a kid isn't a bad thing (??/!??,/) it makes you feel for him and is part of what makes what happens to him so awful.

mlvns accuse bylers of hating el and of being raging misogynists: elmike is born. bylers start saying that el will actually be thrilled by the match and might actually set up the guy she spent the first two and a half years of her life out of the lab fixated on who's been her boyfriend for over a year and her newfound brother. because she's so mature and over the petty drama that's a teenage love triangle. which is crazy because i DON'T believe that most bylers are as misogynistic as mlvns make us out to be like i've seen way worse which might be because...the show is actually pointing to mike being gay so it's not made up and no one needs to give el a thousand flaws to justify anything? even though people do blame her for things that i don't know if she should be blamed for but whatever that's a different discussion. i was saying: it's crazy because while i don't think bylers are all awful misogynistic el haters...the girl being so happy and out of the way and not being given the space to feel anything about her (gay) boyfriend not being in love with her is sooo new age 2010s mlm fandom sexism. let el have emotions about her breakup with her gay boyfriend who was the first person she bonded with (who didn't die immediately) after escaping the lab who lied to her about falling in love with her at first sight 2k25‼️

everything about babygirl mike and buff byers? let's not get into the whole buff byers debate i hate it with a passion. but it's like. people want mike to be taken down a peg. mike says i love you to el with will's sad little face in the background and people want mike to have to beg for forgiveness. which i get because as i was saying the other day, "i feel like my life started 24 hours after you were taken to the upside down and were traumatized forever because i met this girl who's replaced you in every way that matters, will" is hard to get over. but idk. people are so weird about mike being lame and loving will and about will barely caring about him in return and about the loserification of mike wheeler because yes mike is a loser but only in the sense that the whole party is!!! and that's something that gets lost when he's made to be below them and below will specifically because people feel like he has all the power in the relationship right now and will's at his mercy. which is something they don't like. like it's okay they're both miserable actually. rejoice! post-volume 2 mike needs to have fallen first and he needs to have fallen harder because if the only thing will gets at the end of everything is a boyfriend who loves him only as much as will loves him it's not good enough even though that's all he's not letting himself hope he'll ever have.

#kidding about will being a baby. i know he does not like being treated like one🙏#see how i'm a real will fan #at one point i was like wait. should i do the will wasn't in the wrong at rink o mania thing again😁#but then i didn't. sorry jackietaylcrsers #about the mike is more queercoded thing. this one time someone who mostly does mike analysis got an ask that was like could you do #the biggest hints that will is gay? and their answer was a link to noah's interview saying that will is gay and if that doesn't sum up the #way bylers tend to think about will's storyline #like if will's not your area of expertise and looking for the gay clues of a canon gay character isn't of interest to you it's fine but #they really were like there's no need to dig bc we know. and i thought that was so weird😭 and dare i say a little sad.#especially because now there's people who think he's less queercoded somehow?//?/)/)#anyway #ask

Charlos hehe

i feel like. so not normal about charlos. i desire being a leading charlos scholar but also I've been staring at this ask for HOURS just like. idk what to say they make me want to scream and throw things and become the woman in the yellow wallpaper and walk into the sea. obviously none of that is something that i can make sense of.

TO ME charlos are the ULTIMATE teammate duo. they are obsessed with each other. they are self described FRIENDS. they care about each other in a real personal way. they like. genuinely have a lot in common. BUT ALSO they are driving for FERRARI and that means TEAM DYNAMICS and. GOD i don't have TIME to unpack this can of worms. like.... they get along but also charles will give an interview implying that the team screwed him trying to give carlos a better car and carlos will say he is WDC material and his team will talk about how the team is screwing carlos because they don't want him to win.

and nikki u know im a carlos fucker so i have to talk about how depressed he is like he drives for ferrari and thinks he's the greatest ever but also he dissociates at work and has to convince himself its a good thing he's on this team and -- HOW does Charles play into THAT...

THEY PLAY ONLINE CHESS TOGETHER. FOR FUN. THEY COMPETE 24/7.

basically what im saying is that there is something wrong in my brain where they are basically the only thing i can think about and NONE of it makes SENSE and RED IS THE STRANGEST PAIN TO BEAR and LECLERC IS BOYISH, ENTHUSIASTIC. SAINZ IS MORE MODEST AND SLIGHTLY BRUSHED WITH MELANCHOLY. and TO LOVE SOMEONE IS TO FIRST CONFESS I AM PREPARED TO BE DEVASTATED BY YOU and NOW FINALLY MAYBE IM WINNING EVEN IF IT JUST LOOKS LIKE MY FINGERS ARE SHAKING and SOMEBODY TO LIE IN THE DARK WITH. SOMEBODY'S HANDS TO TOUCH and ITS ALL LANGUAGE OF POSSESSION THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SELFISHNESS AND LOVE IS WHO GETS TO WALK AWAY FROM WHAT and

#ik my paper is due soon but i needed a quick itty bitty mental break and this wasn't it but i needed to do it #dont tell anyone but TO ME charlos are what everybody seems 2 think sebchal was #IDK IF ANY OF THIS MAKES SENSE I WANT TO SCREAM AND CRY AND THROW MYSELF OFF THE BRIDGE #sorry this is fueled by a manic state #sharky who made you the charlos authority my mania obviously #im sorry to everyone who is real and serious and has good thoughts im just crazy #this isnt even any of my GOOD charlos thoughts (i have them i swear)#my anxiety is making me physically sick im sorry #ship asks #charlos

anybody else ever remember that the property listing for the byer's lenora house says it's a 4 bedroom place which means that there's no guest room when mike comes to stay for spring break? bc I giggle about it every time

#like in the world where nothing went wrong he was probably supposed to stay in will's room #but I KNOW that wasn't happening after rink o mania #so do you think he just had to sleep on the couch. do you think murray was snoring obnoxiously in the chair next to him #do you think his feet stuck out of the throw blanket.#stranger things #byler #mike wheeler

this tweet is correct okay.

some people are legit saying ab/ap should be in eowyg's spot and they are nothing but wrong. even Fall Out Boy disagrees with you yknow 😭 they hate eowyg I'm sorry

#Seriously I do not understand eowyg defenders #Like sure you can like the songs but #To say it's Better quality? It just isn't. That's okay #fall out boy #fob #I hate to be a downer which is why this is in the tags but lol the likelihood of them playing eowyg live...#When they won't even play mania.#like. I just don't think they're gonna play an album they all hate (and andy wasn't even thEre for) when they've avoided playing an album #with mixed feelings (that is still considerably better quality)

@kyukicho said: “ I’m right here. You won’t go through this alone. “ ( Baji & Kazutora )

a long overdue response whoopsie

Kazutora’s silence is unusual. Normally he does something, whether it be a laugh and comment of yeah yeah I know Kei or him sinking against Baji’s side and taking the offered comfort to teether him back to the present. He doesn’t normally sit and stare at Baji in silence without any visible reaction. Finally his mouth starts to open like he might speak, but then it shuts without a noise having left his lips.

He turns his head away from Baji to stare at the tree branches. Baji was here…but was he here? Here with him? The sick sensation in his stomach grows as he considers it. He chews on his bottom lip, trying to ignore the thoughts that start to fester like open wounds. Maybe that’s exactly what they are, the open wounds of Kazutora’s damaged mind. Of course Baji was here. It was ridiculous to think otherwise. Wasn’t it? Hanma’s words whisper back in his head like a vulture circling a carcass that it wants to tear into with a sharp beak and talons. His eyes squeeze shut and he keeps face hidden from Baji’s view. It’s ridiculous to entertain those thoughts.

“ Yeah. “ He feels like he’s choking to death just on that one word. It scratches at his throat, struggles to form on his tongue, and lacks any conviction behind it. He stays silent, each swallow painful and suffocating. “ Hey, Keisuke? If I…If I… “ His tone is serious and haunting even if the words are few and far between. “ If something happened, would you... “ He tries to restart what he wants to say, or rather, what he wants to ask. Except he can’t. He can’t force the words out, his throat strangles them before they can even be spoken.

He wants to know. He’s afraid to know the answer to his question. He’s afraid the answer will be a lie. His jaw clenches, fingers curling into frustrated fists as he stares away. He’s glad Baji can’t see his expression even if he probably knows what it looks like. Whatever. Kazutora pushes down the questions that twist inside him like squirming ants. Ants… He forces his hands to relax and stands up, pressing a smile onto his face.

“ Nevermind. “ He says it like that word will magically make the last few minutes be forgotten, climbs up to his feet. “ I’ve uh, I’ve gotta go. “ He wonders if his attempt at a smile looks as shitty as it feels but he says it all with casual ease. “ See you tomorrow, ‘kay? “ He turns away to start to before pausing and turning back. “ You still wanted to go see that new movie, right? You haven’t seen it yet?” Or has he? Well, Kazutora hasn’t at least. “ We could go see that. “

#kyukicho #see i theoretically had a lighthearted response #but tiger wasn't cooperating #so you might be getting a version 2 soon #᛭ — [IC] wounded tiger caught in mania's pit [KAZUTORA HANEMIYA]#᛭ — [RELATION] not even the sun can rival the warmth of your love [KAZUTORA & BAJI]

Jonathan: We can't call Hawkins without alerting the military; putting El in danger.

Just now realized this was probably a subtle reminder that El can't use the landline...

#stranger things #byler #which means?#we've been over this #say it with me:#if mike was always 'whining' about the byers line being busy to dustin... he wasn't trying to call el...#and yet he didn't correct will when he accused him of only calling a couple of times during their fight at rink-o-mania #wonder why
