Imagine unironically still believing that Milkvan will be endgame in November of 2023. No, better yet, imagine unironically still believing that MIKE WHEELER is a STRAIGHT MAN in November of 2023. I wouldn't be caught dead.

anyone have tips to hide tumblr on my iphone so i don't have to keep deleting it :( i miss tumblr

[boredbyler]

hello

[boredbyler]

look, i love joyce a lot. A LOT.

but this? this is one of the scenes, if not THE SCENE, that annoys me the most.

it's season 1 episode 1. we see her and jonathan for the first time, and she is looking for her keys, without success, while jonathan is making breakfast and also telling her where she could find them.

she is almost out of the house, when she notices will is not on the usual spot, and the conversation with jonathan goes like this:

joyce: where is will? jonathan: oh, i didn’t get him up, yet. he’s probably still sleeping. joyce: jonathan, you have to make sure he’s up! jonathan: mom, i’m making breakfast. joyce: i told you this a thousand times.

and this, ladies and germs, is basically the foundation of jonathan's whole arc. people like to assign "mother", "father", to a lot of other characters, but the only one, who at age of 16 and earlier, was appointed this role IN CANON, is jonathan. this kind of pressure is the most obvious reason for his actions in season 4 (and the whole show to be honest), and still? people don't seem to grasp it, don't understand him, or just reduce him to the role of will's brother, nancy's boyfriend, and nothing else.

when i read things like "jonathan is going to die, sacrificing himself for will" theories, i feel like these theories don't take jonathan in consideration as a character, but only as an appendix (like a little trauma bag) for will, which he is not, never was, and never will.

the byers brothers' bonding is my favourite on the show, and will is my fave character on the show. jonathan is close up, because he has all those qualities everyone else tries to put on others underdeveloped personages of this show, to make them more interesting, while basically throwing jonathan in the bin.

nah.

and also the theory that will's character would benefit in its development by him dying is not only right out wrong, because will would basically lose the only ever present pillar of his life, more than anyone else, really. and unless the duffers want a will's villain story for season 5, i don't understand how this would benefit him AT ALL.

plus- this is possible only if we see jonathan as an appendix to will and we don't take in consideration that he has his own arc and that him dying would basically nullify every kind of development he has had up to now.

he has been putting will, joyce, nancy, and everyone else's happiness before his ALL HIS LIFE, so ending it up with him dying, sacrificing his own life ONE LAST MAJESTIC TIME, would be not only bad, but plain out stupid.

arc is when a charactrer goes from A to B, NOT when a character goes from A to A.

sorry for the rant, i'm basically rewatching the show and this hit me in the face once again.

[boredbyler]

My stupid brother told my parents that tumblr is inappropriate and that I have it and I had to show my parents what it is and they saw gay Michael posts and now I’m so mortified that I’m deleting my mobile app and sticking to desktop so this never happens again 😭

I’ll still be active but I never thought I’d have to delete my comfort app because of Mike Wheeler poorly beating the gay allegations

#I’m not out to my parents btw #they’re very Christian #I’m so mortified omg I feel sick to my stomach #byler #stranger things #mike wheeler

its always some fucking day in some fucking month in some fucking year isnt it

i don't think people take me too serious when i say i'm legally blind. Like, guys I am legally never allowed to drive, I need assistance with a lot of stuff because I can't see. People both irl and online tend to be like "oh but you're not THAT BAD OFF" it's not a thing of whether my eyes are "that bad off" it doesn't matter, they're still blind. i still use magnifying and screen readers. i'm learning braille because my eyes are getting progressively worse and I'd like to be able to still read.

I may not be totally blind, but that's the thing, a lot of blind people AREN'T Totally blind. Blindness is a spectrum. and i don't think a lot of people realize that. And I'm just as valid in my blindness as someone on the spectrum with better eyesight than me, or someone with worse.

(This is OK to reblog. I hope that sighted people who might read this really get it into their heads that blindness is a spectrum...)

I think that we should stop criminalizing pirating and I wish the government would give everyone $50,000 every month no matter what and I think that people should stop treating sex workers like they're scum of the earth and I wish that we all cared a little more about artists and musicians and dancers and writers and I think we should stop acting like gender and sexuality is the same for everybody and I think we should all steal a little more

[boredbyler]

this is, of course, where the tumblr revamp would always lead. Just in time for Pride month, the "Queerest Place on the Internet" is attempting to crack down on fags like us for self-identifying with slurs, rather than doing something beneficial like reducing the large ever present transphobe/terf population. Advertiser friendly is the name of the game and I'm sure in a few years this site will be identical to every other sterile neutered social media site available. Have fun while it lasts folks.

WARNING: LONG RANT AND EXPLANATION

I feel like I have to stand up for myself now when I’ve seen the way some of the people in this fandom have been spreading rumors about me on Twitter.

I’m going to take this from the beginning.

//

In November, I was kinda new on Twitter. I remember seeing a tweet in my feed, it said “Let Robin say lesbian in season 5” and to me, who lives in Sweden, the word lesbian isn’t a very “bad” word. It’s actually a very common and normal word here, and we have a bunch of movies and tv-shows when lesbian girls and women simply say: I’m lesbian! So to me, I had NO IDEA that in the US, it’s seen as a “bad” word and that’s why the fans wanted her to verbally say it. I totally get that now, but I wasn’t aware back then. Silly me then made a comment, because a very cute and funny little moment popped up in my head and I felt like: AH I need to write this. It was something along with:

“Or gay, because imagine how cute it would be if Will came out as gay, and Robin would say “I’m gay too”, and then a stunned Dustin (or someone) would say “Okay, so while we’re at it - does anyone else want to come out of the closet?” And then Mike slowly raises his hand.”

I didn’t think much more about it, and the next time I logged into Twitter I had gotten like 50 qrts with: LOADS of death threats, gifs with people murdering people, people calling me lesbophobe, people mocking my grammar, my age, people saying weird things to me about Will etc. I was in such shock, I deleted the tweet right away and had a panic attack. What the hell just happened? How did that made me a lesbophobe? I’m bisexual myself, and I LOVE lesbians. I have also a bunch of wlw ships that I love. But all that shit just because I didn’t know that the word lesbian was very uncommon for americans to say in American media and how they wanted to change that.

Anyways, I deactivated my Twitter because all these horrible rumors about me triggered my suicidal thoughts (I suffer from depression), I made a new one and people figured me out right away so I changed alias and pfp/header but people still figured out it was me.

I blocked every single toxic person I came across, a few months passed and one day I was on Twitter again. This time, it was about an analysis of a scene in Stranger Things. Me and an iconic Byler here on tumblr were analysing the scene when everyone says goodbye at the end of season 3. First, Mike looked uncomfortable af when El kissed him, and later on he looked uncomfortable when she was close to him, hugging and touching and making a forehead touch. In one of the gifs, to ME it looked like the hand movement from El was kinda harsh when they made that forehead touch and I just couldn’t understand how people thought it was cute. It was a personal opinion and just a harmless analysis. Both me and this other person were also saying “Nothing against El though, she’s a kid, but I guess if the roles were reversed - if Mike would be the one to kiss El with her not kissing back, with open eyes, looking uncomfortable and shocked, I guess people would have accused him for SA or something. Not that we did, but we know that it would look a lot more bad if Mike was the one who kissed her and not vice versa simply because of the statistics. WE NEVER ACCUSED EL FOR SA. We both love her and she’s my favorite female character in the show. I just don’t like the SHIP Mlvn and I didn’t get how people thought that scene was cute. It was simply an analysis, nothing more. Not an accusation. Not a hate post. That post had over 200 likes and LOADS of reblogs with people who thought the same. But still only me and my friend were attacked. That also lead to ANOTHER accusation: of me being antisemitic. Why?

In year 2006, I first started my YouTube channel. I was very interested in learning how to edit, so thanks to tutorials I learned by myself how to edit. I was 14 years old when I read Anne Frank’s diary for the first time and I saw so much of myself in her. I also loved the way she described her relationship with Peter in the diary, so I watched “Anne Frank: The Whole Story” from 2001 and thanks to my family I could get that movie on my computer so I could make tribute videos of her since she inspired me so much, to never give up on my dreams and to ALWAYS follow my heart and believe that every person is truly good at heart. I made my own trailer for the movie, because there was none to be found on YouTube. My edits became very popular for being back in 2007, and soon loads of people found them. 90% was so happy I made these tributes, that I let the memory of her and all the people who tragically was murdered by the nazi’s back in the 30/40’s live on. But there was also a bunch of REAL antisemitics who called Anne a bunch of horrible stuff in the comments, people who claimed the holocaust never happened etc and I was defending her and the other victims for dear life. I was so proud of my edits, like I said: I was 14 years old and she was my biggest inspiration. My parents also watched these and they didn’t think they were problematic in any way so of course I trusted them and their moral.

And yes, I also made two tribute edits of her and Peter (I didn’t even knew about the term “shipping” back then) but this person on Twitter said I was making “ship edits” about Anne Frank. I have made all of my old videos private now, mostly because of the bad quality but also because of this person who now made me embarrassed of them instead. I wouldn’t make these edits today. Here’s a glimpse of one of them:

Is this antisemitic in any way?

Anyways, because of this person + a lot of others, this made me and my friend to eventually deactivate our tumblr accounts. I hade SO much going on in my personal life back then too, so this was just too much. They found out things about my family situation and that made me freak out, I was threatening them with the cops just because they were attacking and stalking me and my family on a personal level. They were harassing me on TikTok. On DM. On Twitter. People were leaving me and I felt like shit. Luckily there was a bunch who still were standing by my side through all of this and I am SO grateful for you all. Never forget that, you guys made me come back here.

Also, now when one of my tweets became popular on Twitter, of COURSE these people found me and started spreading these rumors again. I found that out from some of my friends here, sending me ss.

I just can’t fucking believe these people. All because of a silly little tweet which ended up in a total DISASTER.

End of rant. I hope at lease some of you understand.

#this is so infuriating #I can’t with Twitter #I’m so sorry you went through that
