That comment was so true, I was just thinking the same way. Old bylers were more open to criticizing the show's bad aspects and writing choices instead od trying to bend the whole thing to come up with excuses and explanations. Nowadays when you criticize a writing choice or something done by the Duffers you automatically get accused as if you've just committed a crime because how dare you think the Duffers aren't perfect genius writers that put everything intentionally without any mistake.

yeah! nowadays, in this corner, criticism is seen as a bad thing that you would never do to something you enjoy, and it's like... huh? it's okay to not enjoy something 100%. the duffers and co are not infallible and people don't have to like every decision they've ever made. that shouldn't even be something that someone on the internet has to say—existing as a human being in the world should've taught everyone that back when they were a baby.

even beyond that, as others have mentioned in other conversations, you can understand someone else's viewpoint just fine and still not feel as though there's enough relevant evidence to back it up, and feel hesitant because of how the duffers have consistently handled other plots.

like, personally... i struggle to be one of those #believers, because of how present the show's racism is in my mind. also, season three and season four are right there, alongside the show's misogyny and classism, too. and don't forget the little inconsistencies and anachronisms either! there's A Lot that i don't like and that i feel could've been corrected or reworked more effectively had they had a more diverse writing room or consulted others during the writing process. i like the general direction of the show, but there are a lot of details or ways they went about it where i'm like ://// man..

and.... controversial perhaps... but i feel that behavior is especially rampant in the byIer fandom and it manifests as the fanon that we can't seem to shake off.

mike does pay acute attention to will in some ways, but he's not the obvious lovesick, clingy, forever doting, golden retriever bf that people make him out to be [shout out to s2 mike tho he was built different 💔]. that fanon!mike is fans overcompensating for canon mike's behavior and presentation, which honestly has not been that fucking great as of late, purposely because he can't balance having both will and el in his life, among other mike-specific reasons, and because the duffers changed the way they wrote him post-s2. he does care about and love will, but not like many fans suggest, at least not yet.

but if you say that around here, you're seen as a freak weirdo mike hater talking about some ooc mike even though the show is right there and i could point to the 9384038049 times that mike forgot about will, brushed him off, was mean to him, or explicitly chose someone else over him. purposely! of his own volition!

and it also shows in how they babygirlified him, even though mike doesn't act like or look like that at all in the show, nor has he ever been described that way by anyone, whether in-universe or by the people that bring him to life.

And Don't Even Get Me Started On Will. Zon't.........

they had to recreate these new characters with mike and will's names and faces, because they didn't like what was on the screen. simple as that. but will they ever admit it? lmao.

as a fan of the show, and a fan of these characters and the stories they're representing, it's really weird to witness. there has been a distinct shift in the way in-fandom bylers talk about byler and the show and it started post-s2 when things started happening that they felt they had to correct. if they want to engage with the material in a way that best suits their tastes, fine. whatever. literally everyone does that. but to insist that the things that they say that go directly against canon or don't even exist within it .... are canon? and that everyone else using direct lines from the text are the ones projecting or twisting it or otherwise not appreciating the material? i have to laugh.

it's the same with other serious criticisms. if they can't create something to justify it, then they just brush you off as a hater because that's easier than acknowledging that maybe their precious bloated ensemble show isn't entirely perfect.

#asks #everything has flaws and is not meant to be liked by everyone on planet earth and pointing any of that out isn't Bad or Hateful #i kno this was mostly general but i catered my response more towards My wheelhouse bc well. points at my url <3 #i love when ppl criticize things bc i think a willingness to interact with smth and dissect it in this context often comes out of love #and the frustration you feel bc it COULD have been better and you WANTED it to be better and so you look for where it went wrong to #better understand or make peace with it. like a lot of sw fans don't like a lot of the sw content tht gets shat out by disney but they stil #love the world n engage with it bc of tht love. the love of what it Could be and what was. etc etc etc

my Mylène album ranking 17/12/22

me rn trying to do this okay

Innamoramento. I stand by this however the second one on this list is such a close contender. but come on, let's keep it real. this IS and will FOREVER be one of the greatest concept albums of all time, it has some of her best videos, the era was simply iconic and everything from the music to the look to the performances are sheer transcendent perfection.

2. Anamorphosée. What can I say, Paloma has shown me the light. Incredibly complex and very interesting, it stands out in her discography for all the right reasons to me... she literally saved Laurent from his flop era after Giorgino

3. L'Emprise. I don't listen to this half as much as my mutuals and IDK why💔😔💔 but it is her best since AQL'O like I can't lie

4. Cendres De Lune. Sorry but you can't beat the sheer energy and force of innovation this album brought to the second half of the 80s. Her and Laurent literally changed French pop FOREVER.

5 + 6. Avant que l'ombre... / Point de suture TIE I couldn't do it💔💔

7. Ainsi Soit Je. This + the next one really hurt me because they have two of her best songs of all time on them but I just don't find the rest of them memorable (especially nr 7 on this list) and as for ASJ, I prefer the remixes from Dance Remixes of most of the songs. Sans Contrefaçon drags this way up and also just love how fucking bizarre it is. it's playful it's raunchy at times but it's also dark and gothic. The Farmer's Conclusion is just her taking the piss and I love it

8. L'Autre. Désenchantée, Je t'aime mélancolie, Regrets, and Beyond My Control CARRY this album. Also I prefer the extended version of Regrets and I prefer the New Beat version of Psychiatric. I did love how they insisted on keeping her weird goth thing going, they really leaned into it on ASJ and L'A but beyond that ... 😔

9. Monkey Me. I love this album idk what to tell you lmfao I think it's her best from the 10s🙊

10. Bleu noir. She brought us some of the slayest singles of her career like helloooo... this album gets too much hate, I think it's very good and to me it is such a comfort album🥺 the tracklist is very inconsistent to me and the album aesthetic is not my favorite.

11. Interstellaires. This was hard bc I love this album and it has some GEMS, Stolen Car is one of her top 5 duets and the title track is just >>>. To me this is her best adult contemporary album, no debate.

12. Désobéissance. Girl this is her worst album by far... it's so commercial and so basic, not at all Mylène to me. The tracklist is a mess, the aesthetic does NOT match the sound... I wish she would've stayed in the Interstellaires realm so badly😔💔

And that's it for now, I doubt this will change anytime soon.... might rank her EPs or remix or live albums next. I was so scared this entire time but I was so brave about it

#mylène farmer #idk why i chose animylène to represent AQL'O... don't ask

Wally anon: Happy I could deliver with that & I knowww you're gonna put everything into it when you write it. 🫣 (Oh? @ who. of the Ghostfaces do you have a thing for 🤭 I see at the end of this paragraph you menton Mickey & I asolutelyyy agree) Oh Charlie Gillespie was hot as helllll in TK, so very much cosigned (not a spoiler at all, support the inclusion 👍). Pyramid Head is an automatic yes 😳, I can sometimes. see it with Michael (mostly with the new movies), but I can't say I feel the same with Hoffman. 🙈 Yupppp. 2 is actually my favorite opening cause it's just so. different from the rest of the franchise & immediately. gets to establishing how the universe had changed with the existence of Stab & how you just knowwww something bad is gonna happen cause there are Ghostfaces everywhere (something I feel 6 dropped the ball on with the subway scene) & it's even worse. than expected cause it's in front of everyone. 💀

Oh, I would probaly agree with that assessment @ big balls (have you seen that one notorious video with Griffin Barrows having cum shoot allllll over his face? that's what I'm picturing @ fire hose 🫣) (and thennnm you end up getting stuck in it & left in a precarious position where he can fully take advantage of your ass 😳)

Yesss. We have the exact same thoughts here. I know we've covered Wally pretty well for it to be easier for me to think about what he'd get up to (especially the spit 😮‍💨💦 ), but based on what you've said, Zed just feels like he'd make more sense in that position + doing those things.

Oh, I'm right there with you (hard to not. be as a long time Stucky truther lolll). I wish Fresh had really intensified things cause it had me hooked. with that lengthy pre-title sequence & even sustained some of that later on, but the stuff with the friend just felt derivative of Get Out to me & it left the ending being less satisfying. 😶‍🌫️ I would be fine with it if the show wasn't soooo inconsistent about ~good people who don't deserve it dying vs bad people who do deserve it living~ cause they fr can not decide which route to stick to. 😶 It's cause you can tell they were reallyyyy trying to keep the story going & when a sequel doesn't ferl like a natural expansion, it ends up either being bad or boring or straight up confusing 😕 (Oh, I've never played myself, just have watched a lot. of streamer/YTer content with the game & kept up for awhile through that, but yeah it's been a few months since I've caught up with things 💔) Yessss these ideas >>>> Such. an unexpected, but fulfilling route to take Ryan in & I'm so glad we both see the vision in it cause there's soooo much potential in this headcanon. 😭

(ohhhh him. @ face reveal guy. I only know of. him because of that dkfd. but jesussss @ that. trash for sure. ❌️) And the wildest thing is that you damn well know many of these people's favorite "characters" are just ones completely void of personality + anything interesting just. so they can project themselves onto them (even though so many of those. types of characters end up coming off like assholes more to me because you can feel the writers intended them to come off "likable" so when they do something "problematic" you can tell the writers accidentally let it slip through). Like, maybe y'all should just not engage with fiction. 🤷‍♂️ Same. Not worth the time or brain cells wasted to subject myself to it beyond what I've already been exposed to. (it's almost always. hypocritical, so they bring the issue on themselves. kinkshaming is free reign on those types of people. 🖕)

Cause his extra special icing he won't tell anyone the secret ingredient of yup. 🤫 And, if you mean in a cake eating. context, he'd just be imagining your. cake the entire time. 🤭 I would say to wait on it depending on your limits with movies. I personally love it + see exactly what she was going for, but the subject matter is much. heavier than Saltburn, so I can understand why it was pretty controversial for people. No, go ahead, speak your truth dhkdhd. 👅

Okay so in order of the movies (because I could never rank them, they’re all number one): Billy is always a yes, I’m adding Stu because they’re so gay together it’s a need to include both, Mickey as mentioned before, Roman (under-appreciated king), Charlie and Jill (bisexual tendencies yk), and Ethan. That’s it. (No richie because imo Jack Quaid doesn’t do it for me. Weirdly, I consider it his best role looks-wise. It was probably the personality too, too nerdy and all. And I love me some big dick nerds but he isn’t it, respectfully) Yeah I’m sad he wasn’t the killer but it wouldn’t make much sense, at least he was a long haired himbo with muscle🫣 Pyramid Head is always a yes and that’s so true. Michael is definitely iffy for me, if we’re talking old man Mikey then he’s off the table for discussions. But faceless and “nameless”, kinda cute masked Michael is always a yes. I getcha on Hoffman, he’s not my go-to dilf tbh, just one that I can appreciate for being there and participating🤭 YESSS OMG IT WAS SO STUPID FOR THEM NOT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT. 2 sets it up and 6 reinforces that Ghostface has gone beyond Woodsboro, the little town it rocked in the 90s. They literally make a big deal out of it in 6’s opening that others are now donning the mask and committing heinous acts just because they feel like it… but then they never use it?? Not even the Stab version of Ghostface’s mask is seen being worn by anyone. (Although, I do like the numerous horror film references, but it’s a Scream movie. It’s not selfish to feature your own slasher the most.) And that’s why 2s works so much better than 6. They have the same message, even with the one guy being like “We have to finish the movie” (which I think is a reference to the audience booing at the one girl for ruining the movie by going up on stage and blocking the view/getting the blood on anything.) but even with similar messaging, 2 works better because it feels secluded to the college yet unpredictable (going back to Randy’s death sksjsj)

I think I know what you’re talking about! I saw one of a dude in his pickup truck, the interior being quite tall, yet he was hitting the roof of the car with the intensity of his cumshot. Absolutely crazy and it’s Wally’s type of thing fr. (ohhhmg i love the idea of it being sticky enough to get stuck in it🫣)

Oh I know he’s a spitter🤭 In all kinds of places, and your mouth is one of his favorites. Zed is super giving and always happy to help solve problems (ik that sounds basic as hell but i have not seen the movie in forever sksjsk) so it makes sense he’s on the bottom, giving you everything Wally gives in roughness with a sweet tenderness to compliment the other. Like sweet and sour.

Stucky was robbed in the MCU, Steve did not want Peggy’s british ass. No, he wanted to give that all american peach to Bucky (I couldn’t resist.) Yeah i sort of like it because obviously someone would notice that she’s missing, but it kinda falls flat when she gets trapped by him… like, really? You think this guy took your best friend and you just go to his family’s house without any backup? I know her brain was tired from those mental jumping jacks to make it make sense. The end where she’s about to give him a bj is engrained in my head because the shots of Sebastian all undone and on the bed🫣 Saw 4 is kind of okay, because there’s intrigue about a new person being inspired by John… but then it’s revealed it was Hoffmann and he was just… working with John the whole time. Wow. Creative!! Idgaf about the Hoffmann/Strahm conflict btw… and it gets worse when Jill comes in (though, she should have started up the traps instead, then recruited Hoffmann in 5/6) There really is. I don’t wanna be mean but Milo looks like he could be a hot streamer on Twitch or something😭 Gives big dick nerd energy in the best wayyyy

You get it. The lack of media literacy is crazy sometimes and I really can’t believe these people are fully fledged adults. It’s like driving… maybe everyone should be able to do it. I know it’s just watching tv but it causes real harm online sometimes😪

Oh totally, it makes the cake so moist and soft yet firm and bakes perfectly!! Such a good ingredient and he only uses a few loads cups per batch. But omfg milking him for it to make food he makes even better. Cook!Wally shining through here And okay!! (I say that as i’m about to watch it while eating lunch) Listen… if it was Milo/Wally/any of his roles in that bath… I would’ve drank it no matter the shade of the water. The grave is where I draw the line but the bath water is so me jkjk
