Why Mike Has Been Acting WEIRD Weird Since He Arrived in Lenora:
This take is inspired by an ask I got about how Will actually rejects Mike, and here's why I think that take is actually correct:
So if you've seen my latest post about the Rink O Mania fight and why Mike is actually angry, then you'll know that my takeaway from this scene was actually that Mike is upset with Will because Will hasn't been talking to him or reaching out to him. Mike believes that Will hasn't made any efforts to call him during their year apart, so let's take a look at how this contextualizes Mike's airport arrival:
When Mike gets to Lenora, he's upset with him because he thinks Will is the one who dropped the ball on their communication, which I'll talk about a little bit more later, so when Will goes in for a hug and Mike kind of brushes him off, he's not necessarily doing this because of gay panic (though that definitely still plays a part), he's doing this because he's feeling hurt and insecure and he's being petty with Will, so he brushes him off just like he thinks Will has been brushing him off. We also remember that before Mike got to Lenora, El tells Mike that Will has been working on a painting and acting "weird" because of a girl, so when Mike sees Will's painting at the airport, he gets jealous because he thinks it's for a girl, but more than this, Mike thinks that Will hasn't been reaching out to him because he's been wrapped up in thinking about a girl. Mike is JEALOUS because he thinks Will is paying more attention to this girl than he is to Mike (read: "And for what? So you can swap spit with some stupid girl?").
Tumblr media
Cue Mike's jealous airport behavior: he runs up to El and kisses her, presents her with flowers, and puts his arm around her, basically acting like he's not paying attention to Will. He's trying to make Will jealous and he's acting out because Mike lowkey wants Will to apologize to him. Mike feels a little bit betrayed by Will.
Tumblr media
And then we get to Rink O Mania, and Mike is still acting pretty passive aggressive with Will and continues to show off with El, but the entire time, Mike is actually paying more attention to Will and is frustrated at the fact that Will is still not making an effort to talk to him.
Tumblr media
After the scene where El gets bullied, we see Mike express his true feelings and his anger. He comes after Will for not telling him about what's been going on with El. He's not upset about the fact that El was being bullied, he's more upset about the fact that Will didn't tell him this.
And when Mike says that Will sabotaged the whole day because Will was "rolling [his] eyes," "moping," and "barely talking," we're really clued into the fact that Mike is upset with Will for not communicating with him, because Mike wanted Will to be paying attention to him the entire time they were apart, but especially now that he's in Lenora, right in front of Will's face.
And when we get to see Will's perspective on this, that he's upset that Mike only called him a few times, meanwhile El has tons of letters from Mike, this is the first time that Mike realizes that Will wasn't intentionally pushing him away. We also later get clued into the fact that Mike has been complaining to Dustin about Joyce's telemarketing job because the phone line is always busy, so Mike has likely called Will WAY more than just a couple times, but the call wouldn't have gone through because the line was busy. Mike thinks it's on Will to reach out to him because Will knows Joyce is always on the phone for her job and should know her schedule and when the phone line is actually free, so Mike feels rejected at the fact that Will hasn't called, but Will feels rejected by Mike because Mike hasn't written to him.
Tumblr media
After Rink O Mania, we see Mike and El have a big fight about how Mike can't tell her he loves her, and then we see her run off with Owens to go become a superhero again, leaving Mike with just this note. When Will finds Mike staring at the note, he tells him staring at it won't change anything and this is where we have Mike saying "You're right," and throwing the letter away. Here is where we see Mike open up to Will about the fact that he should have said I love you to El because that would mean Mike could be there with her, protecting her. I think it's important to note here that Mike doesn't want to tell El he loves her because he means it, he feels guilty for not saying it, and he feels like he has to say it because that's the only way El will allow him to continue to protect her. In other words, Mike still wants El to need him, even if he doesn't necessarily love her like that. So when Will tells Mike that he can say whatever it is he didn't say to El when he sees her again, Mike isn't picking up on Will's feelings for him because Will is actively trying to repair his relationship with El, just like Lucas was in season 3, and so Mike reads this gesture platonically and as a rejection of his own feelings toward Will.
Now when we get to the apology scene in Will's room, whether you take Mike's "self-pitying idiot" line to be about his behavior in general (acting jealous and petty over Will's lack of communication) or as a direct follow from their conversation about the letter (Mike not being able to tell El he loved her because he's actually been missing Will more than El), Mike's feelings for Will are centered here, so when he apologizes to Will, Mike was not planning to bring El into that until Will did. And we see this because his entire apology revolves around the fact that Mike feels like he lost Will. It has nothing to do with his being upset over El.
Tumblr media
So when Mike puts things aside and says that he wants to work as a team and be best friends again, I actually think this might be Mike putting aside his own complicated feelings for Will in order to return to the dynamic that he thinks Will wants from him: being best friends.
In the following heart-to-heart scenes that we get between Mike and Will in the desert, Will is veiling his feelings for Mike, but Mike doesn't really pick up on this because all of Will's words and actions seem to be trying to help him get back together with El. He once again reads this as his feelings for Will not being reciprocated.
And this is why when we get to the painting scene we see such a genuine reaction from Mike when he opens it.
Tumblr media
He realizes that Will has actually been thinking about him this whole time, and that the painting wasn't actually for a girl. But then we see Mike get really confused again when Will brings El into it, because whether or not Mike can read that Will is using El to veil his own feelings, Mike is still interpreting Will's actions here as pushing Mike back towards his relationship with El. Even if Mike suspects that Will may feel about him the way Mike feels about Will, he's still getting rejected here.
So when we get to this final scene where Will pushes Mike into telling El he loves her, we see this genuine look of heartbreak on Mike's face once again because he sees this as Will pushing him back towards his relationship with El, and he thinks that he'll never be able to have that relationship with Will, so he goes through with the confession because it was Will that rejected Mike's feelings for him.

Um I want planning on it but...
Mike Wheeler's Guide to Falling in Love with a Superhero - live reaction
Tumblr media
Dvjhdazfhhygvb literally such Micheal behavior
Wait he knows Max irl in this? Is he in the same friend group? Is he seriously the only human in his friend group? Lmao.
Also Nancy working for Daily Bugle is a nice touch
Wait Dustin isn't super. Zoomer, Ranger, Eleven, Spiderman, yup Dustin's human too.
What even is Micheal's job?
Why does every Mike characterization include him thinking "objectively"? Ajsjbxhcjdnd canon.
Better be a paper straw, bud
"This is a robbery" um okay *continues doing homework and drinking coffee* my dude she is a r m e d
I can't- Will living his sassy dreams, calling villains friendless I bet
So Doc Ock is the same person who was talking about her son who loves heroes, right?
Wait is this even Doc Ock? Is there more than one villain with a lab coat?
Wait are Dusty and Micheal just. Sitting there? ansnchdbehfjfxbj icon behavior lmao
Why do all Mike characterizations involve fantasies of violence? Canon.
"Um sorry I want a less embarrassing death" shut up you pretentious fuck literally accurate
Wait it's a café on the seventh floor? Jesus Christy maybe care a little more about your um life than "He dropped me on the sidewalk no big" wgat
Wait the cage isn't where he works? Why did he call his boss a baker then?? Full me in I'm stupid :/
Literally stunning
No, keep talking. I want to know if Dusty was literally about to say "so gay".
Mike:
Tumblr media
We love a pathetic Micheal. Stg he's such a damsel in distress. On the one hand of you constantly almost die maybe you should hit the gym on the other hand I love nothing more than just a useless main character.
"No more room for (dignity) in his noodly body" silly little phrases>>>
We spent two seconds in proximity and you haven't paid an attention to me. Hope i die.
HE LITERALLY IS ansbchebhfufbbfjc PERFECT
No that is literally the most Richie sorry ever I'm DYING
The melodrama of it all
I love how you can tell the writer's personality. Yes, describe the little outfits that civilians wear. I want to know <2
If Will calls him "Cool Guy" as Will I will DIE
"Cool" "cool" maybe stab me
"I love sci-fi" you are sci-fi.
How does his neck not break
Micheal's face rn:
Tumblr media
How very cringefail of you, Micheal
You've seen Jonathan exploding Mike in his mind, get ready for:
Totally normla
TROY (also slay, El)
Heart eyes
His book is literally Stranger Things <2
He's not like the other girls I'M DEAD
And i like talking with you, stalker
I went most of a chapter thinking this draft got lost :/
Martin like Martin Brenner? (<- quotes to get urself publicly executed)
So Mike said he knows Max, but I don't think he knows the others besides Dustin. That makes sense bc Max prob wouldn't introduce her friends to her super friends, right?
This is kinda different from canon bc in canon they're friends for a decade and their friendship is super important, but in this version, we can focus on what I really care about- Mike being a fucking loser (affectionate)
I really like the little details like the book Mike writes being ST- and wonton b2 alongside b1 bc there was a ✨️plan✨️ all along. WAIT IS HIS SELF INSERT NAMED MIKHAIL-
It's okay I'm normla now.
My dude stop flirting you are on the clock holy shit as far as Micheal knows you're a stranger jesus christy
Did I mention how fucking funny the ladies' man comment was?
Micheal and me are both just dramatic little shits. Yes I will explode, actually.
Okay but what even
No comment
Najzbxbchhdhbdbxh hdbdjxdyxhdb💖💖💖💖💖
I FUCKING KNEW IT! C O O L G U Y !!!!!
Ookay
The fact I can hear all of this in their voices qjabxbxbhxhxhdhbc (did I mention they're dorks?)
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE ISN'T A GARUNTEE MOM I'M SCARED
Students when Spiderman goes in and out of this one apartment window alot:

I love that you do these Q&A’s pretty much every evening. It’s fun to look forward to. Like virtual coffee with your favorite author
1) What inspired you to write your current WIPs?
2) what was the episode/moment that made you ship EO, the moment you knew you wanted them together?
i love doing these q&a's with y'all. i am actually sitting on a bunch of good questions i just don't have the brain power to get to 'em right this minute, but i do try to get to as many of em as i can. these are very good questions, thank you for coming to share with me 🥰
let's see. hof was the old pic of m in a marine's t-shirt and me saying to the discord "god what if liv and el met in college and this was an oversized marines shirt and it's his t-shirt" and it spiraled out from there, ultimately culminating in barba at a football game WHICH WE'RE STILL NOT CLOSE TO BUT WHICH I CANNOT WAIT TO GIVE YOU. instinct was the discord again, we had been talking abo on and off and SOMEONE (i'll tag you if you want) went THE FUCK OFF about abo and we all started spiraling on from there until we'd built so much of it we had to bring it into the world and i was writing monsters and i was like lololol they're primed and ready for an abo fic and i was given the discord's blessing to write it. in the blood was a shower/sleepytime headcanon i had been playing with that the discord encouraged me to just go ahead and write. so. moral of the story is. get you some besties who are just as insane as you are.
do you know i don't have a clear answer for this. i was nine when this show premiered but already super weird about media and very into l&o and svu is still the "new" l&o to me. i remember being excited about it starting. i was very, very, very deeply invested in olivia from the jump. being a tiny precocious gay she was everything to me. but bc it's been part of my life from such an early age i can't pinpoint where the shipping started, it's like i've lived my whole life wanting eo to fuck. but it was probably stalked, tbh. the oj and elliot coming to pick her up and that's a lot of neighborhood my friend and blink your lights. screencaps of liv in stalked were my pfp on my xanga back in the day. y'all remember television without pity? godddd those were the days.

i LOVE your analysis especially byler ones so please don't take this as hate, it's the last thing i want to do. but while i love the byler theories do you actually think the duffers are smart enough to realize the potential/brave enough to follow through on the relationship. bc tbh i think our viewpoint is skewed i don't think anyone but byler shippers see the canon possibility. and also it really seems like m/leven is going to be endgame? just wanted to know more of your thought process
Even if byler never happens- I’m 100% sure mileven won’t be endgame XD. Regardless of byler, Mike and El are just not going to happen. (Even if they’re ‘dating’ in s4). I could try to explain the reasons why I think byler will be endgame though. I’ll give the cliffnotes version. This will probably be a mess- because focusing on all the reasons isn’t as good as analyzing , each reason as it’s own separate post, in depth). 
Why mileven isn’t endgame
- The duffers said, while filming ST, El was supposed to die in s1 (glad that didn’t happen). And this was also their plan when pitching their show ‘Montauk’ (later retitled ST), saying that the hypothetical  s2 sequel would be about the boys returning to their town 10 years later. Mileven was never ‘planned end-game’. They also describe mileven kissing but never mention the word ‘love’ like how Jancy was described in the Montauk pitch. Nancy’s bio says “ she will experience love for the first time.”  But when they describe mileven, they say, “If Mike is the Elliot of our show, Eleven is our “E.T.” Like that’s … not romantic, Duffers. And if it was supposed to be … WTF did you guys watch the same film? 0-O
- In the byler centric s2, the Duffers kept mileven separated. And the mileven kiss wasn’t written in the show. Millie pretty much said “they had to do it.” Much to Matt’s confusion but then the Duffers agreed. And used ‘every breath you take’ (a song about divorce), and just by coincidence their 2nd back-up  song was also a song about a divorce? Nah, they were trolling.
- Most of the women (Nancy & Max) in the show critique Mileven saying Mike treats her as if she’s stupid, can’t take care of herself, or as she is a possession. 
-in the first ep of s3 almost all the guys (who had/have gfs) Hopper, Lucas, and Dustin all criticize the mileven relationship and think it’s unhealthy.
Hopper says “ They’re spending entirely too much time together… It is constant.It is constant! Okay? That is not normal, that is not healthy! ”
Lucas mocks Mike, saying “ Oh El, I wish we could make out forever and never hang out with any of our friends.”
Dustin says when they flake on him, “It’s bullshit, I just got home!” (insert Nancy calling Stancy ‘bullshit’)
and before this  Dustin talks about Romeo & Juliet (while mileven is out of frame). R&J is all about the dangers of not knowing the difference between love and infatuation. Juliet after Romeo is banished just complains about how in love/sad she is but never pursues looking for him (sound familiar)? R&J claimed that they were in love with each other after knowing each for a few days and deciding to get married-sabotaging the closest relationships they had with their friends/family (all in the name of ‘true love’) . Similarly Mileven thought they were in love after only a week of knowing each other, and the second they are reunited they start dating and spend all their time with each other. El is allowed out of the house (and her friends are allowed to visit), but El hasn’t interacted with Max nor Will? They spend almost everyday in her room just making out. Mike puts very little effort into integrating her into his life or as part of the group. The only time they go out- is for Mike to show off El to Dustin like a possession- then before El can even do the boding activity with the group (with the radio tower)- Mike convinces her to leave to make out. They are both complicit in this and they both bring out the worst in each other and they make each other blinded to their loved ones’ feelings.
- El literally asks Max “How do I know what I like?” Do I have to explain why this could be problematic? She even says “I don’t know”, when Max asks if Mike is a good kisser.You can call me ‘ableist’ my abused-autistic ass will disagree. But El is not ready for a romantic relationship! it makes perfect sense for El to be confused by the distinctions of romantic, platonic, and familial love- when the first 12 years of her life she didn’t receive any form of love , PERIOD! And she is not like normal abuse victims (she has never had proper socialization with peers her own age or even adults).All she had was television. She latches herself on to anyone who is kind to her (something I used to do). Without Mike she used Max as a replacement almost immediately, and even starts repeating/mirroring the things she says (specifically coping phrases from her …over 6 times!). She’s also susceptible to doing what others say or want her to do, “dumping his ass” (with Max’s validation and encouragement). El might love Mike but I don’t think it’s romantic, she latched on to the first person that was kind to her. Before their first kiss she asked Mike “Will you be like my brother?” And she’s hurt when he says “no”, asking “Why not?”. He then kisses her (she watches a lot of soap operas and she assumes it must be ‘romantic love’). You’re telling me that if she was ‘in love’ with Mike she would have been that happy over dumping him? I’m not saying El is dumb for not being able to discern these things (I think people without such backgrounds may still struggle with this concept). But it makes perfect sense for El to be confused by the distinctions of various loves or even the differences between ‘crushes’ , ‘physical attraction’ and ‘romantic love’ 
- In the last ep El asks about what he said at the cabin to Max, specifying “you talked about your feelings?”. He says and I QUOTE “Oh! Oh, yeah that.Man, that was so long ago. Um…”  and starts to scratch his head. Then he excuses what he said at the cabin, saying it was “in the heat of the moment stuff and we were arguing… I don’t actually remember. What did I say exactly?”  
Now either he legitimately forgot! Or he lied! You know the thing that broke them up in the first place! The one thing that El holds as her most important value in life- honesty. And he lied- about something as important as his romantic feelings?!  Make up any excuse (about being shy/character flaws all you want), but this isn’t real life- it’s fiction (everything is done for a narrative purpose). That wasn’t an accident ( mileven wasn’t “written out of character”- like milevens claim,  the duffers were criticizing the ship on purpose) .And the fact he lied again! Wouldn’t bode well for a long term relation with each other. The whole season, criticized their romantic relationship ! That wasn’t a coincidence neither was the fact he looked confused by her confession, and kept his eyes open the whole time and didn’t kiss her back . 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And as she smiled and walked away, he looked confused. That wasn’t a directing mistake, like so many milevens are claiming! You really think they wouldn’t make sure their ‘fav ship’ didn’t have a good final kiss? 
Tumblr media
 Especially since it was right after a romantic Jancy scene (which was directed amazingly)- where Nancy even mentions Mileven- to make us compare the 2 pairings romantic scenes even more. 
* I know I sound like an assh*le but I’m just annoyed. I’ve always censored my byler posts trying not to offend/criticize mileven. I never cross tagged my byler meta with the hashtag mileven (never will, cause it’s rude). But (without sounding pompous) my byler posts generally gets reblogged a lot- and now the milevens have seen my posts (and are sending lots of hate my way) and worst of all they’ve invaded the byler tag. Today I saw 2 posts in the byler tag saying. “We’re delusional” and “stupid”- and also in the same posts they say they “feel attacked” by us.Um… there’s a difference between byler shippers privately criticizing a ship without bothering mileven shippers (and only tagging it byler) . Versus Mileven shippers  tagging things byler (and ranting about the ship and it’s shippers). Loved the comment about how Mike can’t be bi cause “he loves El too much”.I think Mike is probably gay and in denial. But, um that’s not how being bi works- didn’t know  bi people love women and men ½ as much as the gays/straights. Thanks for informing me (rolls eyes for eternity).So kid-gloves off, nothing left to lose! Time to compare the ships.
‘The breakup’ vs ‘fight’ parallel
Tumblr media
comedic vs dramatic! The casual sunny day vs the dramatic framing of the storm (a romantic trope) . The ‘break-up’ being a scene with multiple onlookers vs the fight being with Will and Mike only (making it more personal/intimate).  ‘Cold as ice’ playing after the mileven breakup vs the sad instrumentals playing during the byler fight. The comedic after-math at the mall. El and Max laughing, and another joke being made as the bus leaves.El’s happiness vs Will’s heartbreak.
Mike’s drastically different expressions after their fights. He looks regretful with Will, and almost annoyed with El dumping him.  The fact Mike apologized right away more than once to Will, and ran into a storm to apologize a 2nd time. But with El he just lies to cover up the first lie, and then after the break-up he just complains/lounges on the couch (not taking any responsibility). He literally says about El “Why is she treating me this way? What did I do to deserve this? What did I do wrong?”.( He lied and made her feel “like garbage”!) Then he burps and laughs about chips- and makes sexist comments. Neither EL nor Mike are heartbroken by the breakup.
But when he angers Will (by him trying to finish the game early), he immediately tries to de-escalate saying softly “I was just joking- c’mon, let’s finish the game”. But when Will just yells back (much to Mike’s confusion) he doesn’t dismiss his feelings as irrational (like he wrongfully did to El) but chases him to the garage-  and begs him to stay since it’s raining.
In the garage, Mike immediately apologizes saying “I said I was sorry, alright. It was a cool campaign.” But after this, they fight and Mike runs into a storm to apologize a second time , and says to Will’s door “ WILL! I’m sorry I was being an asshole. Can you just come outside and we’ll talk? WILL!” He immediately takes responsibility and apologizes. And he’s desperate to resolve things. And when they find him outside castle Byers he just asks  (Mike’s catchphrase) “Will, Are you ok?”
Shed scene ( “best thing I’ve ever done” vs “the most important thing in the world to me”) parallel
When Mike says to El  “you’re most important thing to me” in the pool shed. El doesn’t even acknowledge the comment (and neither should the audience- cause the words were empty). She completely ignores his words, and responds by asking him about his previous comments. Asking whether Hopper was right about them spending too much time together.
Tumblr media
I didn’t edit (or delete any scene after his proclamation) this is how fast it was delivered ! The framing of this mileven scene was not cinematic or heartfelt, and neither was the delivery from Mike. He’s not crying, trying to reach her with proclamations of his genuine feelings. There’s no dramatic music, framing, lighting or shot composition. And El just responds and cuts his supposed ‘true feelings’ off- only to agree with Hopper and says “ she should spend time with her own species.” And if this ‘romantic moment’ wasn’t already undermined enough. This is when Mike realizes she was spying on him , and feels wrongfully violated (something she doesn’t apologize for,  saying “I make my own rules” . He even brings this up in a later episode (this clearly bothered him)!
Juxtaposed to the MUCH longer byler scene. A literal single tear falling down his cheek as Mike , recounts the first day they met. Mike being in the back drop of darkness only his face being illuminated (having him appear like a guiding light to Will). Saying “ I felt so alone and  so scared… but you were alone too” (alone together/crazy together) .  He then talks about asking Will to be his friend, and then he pauses and breaks eye contact , before looking him in the eye and smiling (lost in the memory) saying softly “you said yes, you said yes.” (cough like saying yes at a wedding).
So, after he says “you said yes, you said yes.” It’s important to mention that he takes a deep breath and breaks eye contact again, (looking down and to the side) as he says this line. Subconsciously, I believe he knows this line is romantic and he’s too afraid to say it to his face. Only flicking his eyes up to look at Will  after he finishes the entire sentence, and to gauge Will’s reaction.
This whole monologue is only of tight shots of just their faces (their bodies aren’t shown like in the pool shed scene). This is a personal moment between them and them alone- and the fact we zoom in on their faces (expresses this to be important emotionally) . And when we see Will’s reaction to Mike saying “it was the best thing I’ve ever done”. We just see Will’s face only- no music is playing and all we hear is  Will’s whimpers and Mike crying in the background.

“ Blank makes you Crazy” vs “ Crazy Together parallel
When Mike tries to confess his “love” to El he says “Well they do say it makes you crazy”… much to El’s confusion.He has to try to explain it a second time to El- who just gets even more confused, by his ‘confession’. Saying “you never heard that expression? Like blank makes you crazy … like the word (love)?”
But when Mike says he “feels like he’s going crazy” Will immediately responds with “Me too”. Mike even smiles at the comment. So that moment in s2 means more than we think, when Mike (with tears in his eyes) smiles at Will’s comment and asks them to go “crazy together”.And when Will responds back “yeah, crazy together” (who also has tears in his eyes). They even linger on the moment as they just smile and stare at each other.
Mike is in denial, and may not even realize he loves Will, but he knows subconsciously that he does. He heard the phrase “love makes you crazy and that damn stupid”, 100′s of times and that’s why he said that phrase to Will. And why it made him so happy when Will reciprocated , by saying “ yeah. crazy together.” In addition to why we see them both go from happy, to immediately upset over the conversation.The scene was already romantically coded in s2 (but the scene in s3 re-contextualizes the whole thing) . Mike thinks “love makes you crazy” , and he asked Will to go ‘crazy together’ with him. And When Will is at castle byers looking at the Halloween pic of the 2 the day Mike said that, Will cries and calls himself “stupid” (4x). Can’t get more obvious… Like look what the duffers did! 
Tumblr media
El and Will’s opinions on Mike (Parallels)
-When asked if Mike was a good kisser,  she just said “I don’t know he’s my 1st boyfriend.” (implying she’s thinking, at least subconsciously, of having other boyfriends ,who are not Mike in the future).  But when Mike pretty much asks’ if Will thought they’d never get girlfriends, and spend the rest of their lives with each other’.Will just sadly responds “yeah, I guess I did. I really did!” Unlike, El, Will always saw Mike as his future, his forever.
-And when Mike says “it’s just a break” , Max says “No it’s not!”, and we see El laugh along with Max’s comment. She is not heartbroken at the idea of never getting back together with him, romantically. Right after they break up she was laughing, reading comics, and playing games with Max.
But Will is devastated over the fight! And out of all the memories in Castle Byers it’s the Ghostbusters photo from Halloween that causes Will to pick up the bat and start destroying everything. That was the night that Mike agreed to go “crazy together” with him. He tears it in ½ right in the center where Mike and Will are. He was so stupid to think it meant anything. The “crazy together” scene, that Mike initiated in s2 was always meant to be romantic. Not only because of Will’s reaction to the photo in s3, but because Mike in s3 says “They do say it makes you crazy…blank makes you crazy.”  Which is exactly what happens to Will, as he has his breakdown.Castle byers was built on a rainy night , the same day Will’s dad left, when Will was 5 (the same age he met Mike). And lonnie called him a “queer” and a “f*g” and forced him to do “normal things” like baseball to have him “be more of a man”. And then on a rainy night, after Mike says “It’s not my fault you don’t like girls”… what does Will destroy castle byers with? A baseball bat! The fact Will has a baseball bat (despite in s1 saying he does not like baseball) in Castle Byers, surrounded by things he loves: drawings, d&d, art supplies, a microscope, comics- just shows what an impact Lonnie’s problematic conditioning and abandonment had on him. He used a baseball bat to destroy something he loves -castle Byers, and symbolically he was trying to reject his feelings for Mike using Lonnie’s old tactics of fixing him.
- Also, El doesn’t even seem to appreciate when Mike acts like his true self (goofy/like a kid). She laughs when Max complains he talks too much. Rolls his at his jokes with the cpr-dummy, covers his mouth and tells him to stop when he tries to joke and sing, ignores him when he gets excited about talking about dinosaurs. Which relates to my next point
The only characters who’s character bios focus on ‘escaping’ through d&d is Mike and Will.
Will in the Montauk pitch was described as having “sexual identity issues… LIKE MIKE , Will ESCAPES through fantasy gaming where he can be himself, uninhibited.” Like what is Mike escaping from… being a nerd? Because they could of said ‘like his friends’. And no it’s not because they’re best friends- they even specifIed in Lucas bio he’s “ Mike’s best friend” (which was even mentioned in s1).
Tumblr media
.In Mike’s character description it says “ bullying and near-crippling insecurity. He has never had a first kiss, much less a girlfriend.He ESCAPES his insecurities through reading fantasy novels … retreating into his own vivid imagination. The Dungeon Master of his Dungeons and Dragons group, he writes sprawling adventures with fantastical monsters.When he finds himself on a real adventure, facing real monsters, he will discover a courage he didn’t know he had. By the end, he will even kiss a girl.”
*Interesting that Mike uses D&D  to escape his insecurities about not having a gf (retreating into his imagination). While Will (who is somewhat aware of his sexuality) uses d&d to escape and be himself uninhibited. They’re foils in a sense- using d&d for opposing reasons.
So the s3 fight about d&d games has a lot more meaning 
Mike equates heterosexual romance with ‘growing up’ and his feeling for Will as something childish he has to grow out of.When they fight over d&d. Mike says “It’s not my fault you don’t like girls!”, then he tries to ½ apologize only to say, “I’m not trying to be a jerk. Ok? But We’re not kids anymore.” He pretty much explains, this is just the way things are-boys fall in love with girls, get girlfriends, and that’s just a part of growing up (heteronormativity).  And tells Will “I mean, what did you think, really? That we were never gonna get girlfriends? We were just gonna sit in my basement all day and play games for the rest of our lives?” And poor Will who is probably more aware of his feelings just responds. “Yeah. I guess I did. I really did.” And after this Mike rushes to Will’s house and apologizes saying he was an “asshole.”When he tries to say he loves El . It was very forced. He can’t even use the world love or explain his feelings, “A feeling … yeah, like, something… like OLD PEOPLE say it sometimes”.
Tumblr media
He can’t even describe love and what his “feelings” entail for El , he then says  “Yeah, like something , like old people say it some times. He doesn’t even say it back in the last ep, when she confesses. It’s all talk, but no feeling, it’s just a part of becoming an adult in Mike’s mind.
In the last ep before the mileven kiss, he even invites both El and Will over for Christmas saying “ And Will too… we could all have new presents to play with and… *scoffs* Sorry, that made me sound like a 7 year old...  ”
And it’s implied in the last ep (before the mileven kiss),  because of the 3 month breakup Mike is back to liking d &d. When Mike sees Will put his own d&d book in the donation box he stops him.
Mike: “WHOA, dude that’s the donation box.”
Will: “ I know, I’ll just use yours,  when I come back. (pause) if WE still want to play?”
So then Mike asks, shyly …
Mike : “Yeah, but what if you want to join another party?” (cough- girls , the other ‘species’, or just someone else: girl, guy or otherwise)
Will: “Not possible.” (Will will always love Mike- insert Mikes immediate heart-eye reaction to this comment).
Tumblr media
I think people don’t notice what the subtext is here- regardless of his intentions, Mike broke Will’s heart. He made him feel “stupid” for ever thinking he ever had a chance with Mike. He always saw Mike as his forever, but Mike shot any hopes of that down in the garage. Will doesn’t trust his own instincts. Mike could straight up flirt with him in s4/5- and Will would dismiss it as his imagination. He essentially said ‘he’ll always love Mike- but if something is going to happen. It’s up to Mike to initiate it’.
Mike was queer coded since ep 1 (and he’s more queer coded than Will)!
 I LITERALLY thought (in s1) Mike was queer before Will!
- 3 rainbow references. Mike in s1 in his basement has a red heart being propelled by a rainbow sign. We see this again in s3 as a drawing. Mike also stands next to Will behind a rainbow apple poster in s2. Forbidden fruit + rainbow = queer forbidden romance. Also the apple poster was in the AV Club and at that time the rainbow apple-mac sign was suspected to be in reference to for Alan Turning (the gay ‘father of computers’).
Tumblr media
In s1:
- 4 separate characters said El looked like a boy, but Mike doesn’t care! Even one of the men thought El might be the missing ‘Byers boy’. When El loses her wig , Troy said “she doesn’t even look like a girl” to the cops. But Mike just calls her “really pretty”
-Nancy says “I thought you were acting weird, but I thought it was because of Will” And Mike responds “I thought you were acting weird too I thought it was because of Steve … Do you like Jonathan now”?” Nancy: “No, do you like Eleven?”. They literally compared the explicit love triangle between Steve/Nancy/Jonathan to the Will-Mike-El dynamic!
- Mike literally uses gender inclusive pronouns when talking about crushes using the word “someone” (3 times), and embarrassing himself because he can’t articulate the difference between friendship and romance. When he could of simply given the 80s heteronormative  answer of ‘when a boy likes a girl’.
Mike: “ you go to school dances with someone.
You know someone that you like”
El: “a friend?”
Mike: ‘not a friend uh … uh someone like a” (gives up and kisses her)
-Mike’s mom said “ What’s been going on with Will, I can’t imagine what it’s been like for you. I just … want you to feel like you can talk to me. I never want you to feel like you have to HIDE anything from me” (she even emphasizes the word ‘hide”  (which is heavily queer coded)
- when Will ‘dies’, “we can be heroes” by David bowie (a bisexual singer) plays,   “And we kiss as though nothing could fall and the shame” is the lyric that plays when Mike returns to his house and cries in his mother’s arms over the ‘death’ of Will. Do I have to explain how ‘kissing and shame’ are queer-coded . And how such a lyric is oddly romantic- if we’re supposed to see their bond as nothing but platonic XD
-his dad jokes “Absolutely not” *turns to wife* “our son with a girl?”.
- when Lucas makes fun of his crush on EL, Lucas gets down on one knee  and says “ I love you so much, will you marry me?” and literally 1s later, we’re introduced to the bullies and the idea (for the first time) that Will is ‘gay’, and Mike is in the forefront of the scene and unlike his friends he is THE ONLY ONE physically assaulted as they cause him to fall face first into a rock (like a gay-bashing) .  They leave Lucas and Dustin unharmed. Even though Lucas just proposed to another guy- which should have gotten him a beating by the homophobic bullies.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It’s supposed to subconsciously hint Mike is queer like Will, and likes Will. The first interaction with the bullies, they mention Will being ‘gay’ right after they mention Mike’s crush on androgynous El and have a guy propose to Mike. Mike says to “ignore them” ( the homophobic remarks) but is assaulted anyways. And when asked what happed he doesn’t want to tell El the details cause he’s ashamed .
2nd time the bullies talk about Will, Mike is once again in the forefront, unlike his straight friends who are in the background . But this time Mike initiates the confrontation), as the bullies say Will is “flying in fairyland with all the other little fairies. All happy and gay”. Mike was literally on the verge or tears at this comment (despite being happy a few moments earlier , telling the others to ‘act sad’ because they’d look suspicious other wise). But this is the comment where Mike snaps and pushes Troy back (because he took it personally/wanted to defend Will).
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The framing of Mike once again being in the front and snapping at the homophobic remarks ( gifs don’t do it justice, just rewatch the scene -Mike eyes water at the remarks). Then the last time the bullies appear , Mike jumps off the cliff and “flies like a fairy” (like Troy said) thanks to El . Troy at the police station even uses the word “fly” not levitate.
-Mike sneaking out to find Will, as Steve sneaks in to Nancy’s. They both even make eye contact (and pretend not to have seen each other).
- they share dinosaur toys , in s1 and 2 they appear to be the only ones with dinosaur toys.
- The s1 mom hug scene where Mike feels he lost Will is paralleled in s3 - signifying how he lost him a 2nd time.
- Mike in the 1st ep being the one to insist on looking for Will in the rain (callback to s3). But he never went looking for El when he saw her through his window? Even when Mike saw Will’s dead body, the second he heard his voice he convinced his friends to help rescue him!
- You remember the binder (from s1) that Mike keeps, filled with 100s of Will’s drawings, and how he caresses the drawing after thinking Will was dead. That’s totes platonic.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
- Mike in s1 proclaiming “I’m the only one who cares about Will!” Seems like something a kid with a crush might say ( because obviously his other friends care about Will). But he thinks he cares the most. He was even the first to worry about Will not showing up to school, the first to suggest looking for him while speaking to Hopper, and when Hopper and his parents say ‘no’ he sneaks out anyway (and is the first to suggest forming a search party). The first to believe he was alive after seeing his dead body.The only boy to have a scene dedicated solely to him mourning Will.  Mike being the only boy to stay awake at the hospital, and the first boy to see and hug Will. The only one to have a private one on one talk before Will goes missing. The only one who was literally given 100s of Will’s drawings. And yet Dustin says Lucas’ is Mike’s best friend? So what does that make Mike and Will?
In s2:
- Will in all 3 seasons identifies as a wizard. But in s2 Mike (the paladin) says Will is a cleric. Meaning this reflects how Mike actually feels about Will. In d&d, they have similar moral values, powers, and generally need and depend on each other in the lore of d&d. Paladins have similar healing powers to clerics, but clerics have stronger healing abilities - which is interesting since Mike has always been viewed as the protector. But to Mike Will has helped him (maybe deal with the loss of El and other trauma) , just by being there. And if Mike says Will is a cleric,despite Will still identifying as a wizard in s3, it shows how deeply Mike actually feels about Will. It shows he views Will as one of the only people who understands him and views him as a healing presence and his moral compass.
“ strength of conviction gave many paladins a sense of common fellowship but did not always endear them to others. In many cases, paladins did not get along quite as well with other non-paladin adventurers, with the exception of clerics with similar beliefs.”
“A Paladin tries to hold to the highest standards of conduct, but even the most virtuous Paladin is fallible. Sometimes the heat of emotion causes a Paladin to transgress his or her oath (of honesty, courage, compassion, honor ,and duty). A paladin who has broken a vow typically seeks absolution from a cleric who shares his or her faith or from another paladin of the same order. After a rite of confession and forgiveness, the paladin starts fresh.”
This proves Mike knows he treats Will special/different than his other friends- and unlike a relationship with El (they are still individuals who are not dependent on each other). And Mike thinks being with Will quite literally makes him a better person. Juxtaposed with how him being in a romantic relationship with El made him blind and apathetic to those closest to him .
- All the mileven s1 parallels vs byler s2 parallels were ALL initiated by Mike. If the parallels were meant to show a one sided love triangle (on Mike’s end). They would of made Will the instigator not Mike! Parallels can be watched here , start at 6:50)
-Mike initiated the “crazy together’ line- and in s3 he said ‘blank makes you crazy’. So subconsciously he knew the line had romantic connotations.
-Mike initiating the hand hold (with a zoom in shot) and in the show this is only done for romantic pairings. Also Mike being the one to initiate the ‘arm thing’ which is generally romantic. But in s3 , Lucas also does this, saying “I am spending quality time with my girlfriend’
Tumblr media
-Mike saying, asking him to be his friend was the “best thing I’ve ever done”
-Mike constantly following Will around, asking if he’s okay or biking to his house to check on him in s2 . In s3 running out to chase Will to the garage and apologizing, and running into a storm to apologize a 2nd time.
YOU SEE A PATTERN! Mike is whipped! And is the one constantly chasing and pursuing Will, not the other way around! Before s3, people always portrayed Will as the (stereotypical- problematic trope of a) sad-pinning-gay in a one sided love with Mike. It’s like people didn’t even watch the show (and just assigned tropes/stereotypes they wanted, that weren’t actually there). Will (probably too shy or scared to- because of homophobic taunts) never initiated a single byler moment- it was ALWAYS Mike!!! If people were actually objective, they would of thought it was Mike who was the one pinning!
Tumblr media
- Which brings me to Mike literally pinning! Mike forcing Will to dance with a girl (who has a rainbow hairclip), but you literally see Mike’s shocked expression like  ‘what,why’d I do that ?’ And after this, they show Dustin looking sad about Max/Lucas dancing and then they have Mike get into the frame (next to Dustin) and look sad when Will/girl are dancing in the same exact frame as Max/Lucas. As they switch between these last 2 shots.
Tumblr media
the cannon Spotify playlists-called ‘Mike’s basement beats’- These are character playlists that Spotify and St worked on together after s2.
-his first song is “small town boy” an 80s LGBT anthem about living in a small town and being queer and bullied. Every band member was openly gay.
-his 11th song is ‘don’t you want me’ from a “celebrate your gay pride” album
* But queer people are “delusional” for thinking Mike isn’t straight? And are told to “open your eyes and watch the show” (that was an actual quote in the byler tag). Ok? Take your own advice, then! XD
One of the Duffers cited inspirations for ST is SUPER GAY (and what they based the byler dynamic off of).
Tumblr media
In the Will comic, Will throws an old 1970s book called “house of stairs” at the demorgorgan. And in a later chapter Mike and Will just read together at the library (just silently reading together, enjoying each others’ company-totally not a romantic cliche).And Mike warns Will the book ‘could have spoilers’ for the d&d campaign. Also look at this byler-centric cover :)
  Peter (Will) is shy, quiet ,initially a pushover, and gay-coded.  And as a coping mechanism he has psychological-breaks with reality where he thinks of his best friend from the orphanage, Jasper (Mike) . Another kidnapped boy, named Oliver (who looks just like Jasper/Mike) is also queer-coded (but a violent-sociopath). And, unlike Jasper who actually wanted to protect/take care of Peter -Oliver starts to gets a sick thrill out of making Peter dependent on him (which Peter catches on to pretty quickly). Oliver was insistent on being the only one to ‘wake’ Peter from his episodes (just like how Mike did for Will, in s2), except Oliver calls him pet-names like “sweetheart, baby, etc.” 
And again to prove it’s queer-coded I’ll read some of the (shortened) quotes, in the order they were written. These are quotes from Peter (Will’s) pov talking about his childhood best-friend Jasper (Mike) .  
-“his room. His and jaspers room.  Jasper looking up from his desk, smiling glad to see him. Jasper saying . Something very important. The most important message, the secret message.  He couldn’t hear him . But jasper keeps smiling , keeps talking . What was the message, jasper? What was the message? The dream had been beautiful at the beginning, terrible at the end, but he longed  to be in it again. If only he hadn’t awakened.”  
-“Jasper sitting on the bed and taking off his shoes ,smiling, ‘you’re okay pete, you’re better than a hundered of those slobs put together. Tomorrow I’ll tell them so myself‘ jasper’s strong, hard body as he got into bed ,so different from peter’s. Strong, to protect him to take care of him. Jasper, who always took care of him”.
-“He wanted to think about oliver it  it was like having Jasper back again. It would disturb him to see Oliver go off with Abigail… the rejection quite painful. It had never been like that with Jasper…jasper.
-The room they shared with rainbow colors, murmuring comforting words to him , enclosing and protecting him. He let himself drift into it, the rainbow hues dimness.”
-“No one ever depended on him. It was he who always depended on others, on Jasper. jasper, who had always taken care of him. Jasper…”
later he admits his feelings for Jasper to Lola/el. Lola and Pete are plantonic soulmates. The only reason why they survive and don’t succumb to their dark and violent urges/psychological brainwashing is because of each other. Lola has  brown hair and eyes and has a buzzcut and is heavily implied to be a lesbian (as she is the only girl in the group who is not fooled by Oliver’s ‘nice guy act’. Which makes the other girls ‘suspicious’ and alienate her). Also this was written in the 70s… she has a buzzcut and is said to “look like a boy”. It’s not that subtle! There was a reason that the author whose first name was WILLIAM (was suspected to be gay/bi when he was alive)!  XD
-Peter says “ he was my friend we were always together . Jasper his name was jasper .in the dream he’s taking care of me’. Now he was beginning to cry, his throat constricting and tears welling up in his eyes .’taking care of me … he always took care of me… taking care of me, and , and … and loving me’. ‘”It was the best time in your life’ she murmured’. ‘Yes’ “
* cough protective childhood friend, rainbows, ‘best time of your life = best thing I ever did.
S3 ending (byler centric ending)
When we first see Mike during the Hopper mologue, the moving truck leaves. “Like you’re pulling away from me or something. I miss playing board games every night (d &d)”…  (the last thing they talked about was Will visiting to play d&d and their fight this season started because of a disagreement about d&d.)
Then Mike looks back at the Byers house (just lingers there and looks back as his friends leave) like how Will did seeing Mike hold hands with El and leave .  “But I know you’re getting older, growing, changing. I guess, if I’m being really honest, that’s what scares me. I don’t want things to change.”Mike , like Will “doesn’t want things things to change”. He doesn’t want his  his feelings of friendship to become romantic in regards to Will,  it “scares” him (especially in rural 80s Indiana). Right after Will cries,  it immediately switches to Mike hugging his mom- to mirror the time he thought Will died in s1 “So I think maybe that’s why I came in here, to try and maybe stop that change. To turn back the clock. To make things go back to how they were.” He goes back to his mother for comfort, like he did the 1st time he lost Will. But also to reverse back time, to s1, before he realized his feelings for Will were romantic.  When things were simpler. 
Tumblr media
“But I know that’s naive. It’s just not how life works. It’s moving, always moving, whether you like it or not. And yeah, sometimes it’s painful. Sometimes it’s sad. And sometimes, it’s surprising. Happy.” (byler endgame)
Will (in s2) even says everyone treats him like ‘freak/ that something is wrong with him’ (purposely leaving out Mike from the discussion). And then when Will disparages himself as a freak,and Jonathan agrees but asks Will, ‘who would he rather be friends with-  David Bowie (who was openly bi since the 70s) or Kenny Rogers’? And when Will says Bowie, Jonathan agrees saying “see, it’s no contest”.
So,  it’s just another coincidence that when Will ‘dies’ (in s1) a David Bowie song (‘we can be heroes’) plays. And as Mike hugs his mom, mourning Will -  a romantic lyric from the song plays during the hug?“And we kiss, as though nothing could fall. And the shame”  (which is heavily queer coded)?
And then in the last ep (in s3) Mike mirrors this scene in s1, hugging his mom, since he feels like he’s losing Will all over again. And right after the hug (‘we can be heroes’) plays again!?  I’m not saying byler is endgame. But- WAIT THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT I’M SAYING! XD
These men literally invented ‘hetero-baiting’ (with Robin & Steve) and you think they’re going to queer bait?!
Also, if Will was a girl named ‘Willow” no one would call byler ‘delusional’ ! Even the most casual viewer would say it’s obvious they’d end up together in the end!
If the witness said about El in s1 , “ same height… it could be the Byers girl”, instead of ‘boy’ (pointing out the resemblance).  Mike only meeting El cause he was looking for Willow. Proclaiming “i’m the only one who cares about Willow!” . Mike getting into fights and getting upset (almost crying) about the bullies insulting Willow. Mike only getting angry at El when he thinks she lied about Willow being alive. Mike being the only boy who has a scene dedicated to his loss of her (with the same romantic lyrics playing). Mike having a whole binder of her drawings and caressing one of the drawings, after he thinks she died.  Mike being the only one of her friends to stay awake at the hospital, waiting for her to wake up- so he can see her and hug her first. People probably would of started shipping it the second Willow stared at him and was the only one who didn’t lie to him, in the first ep! Another parallel to El!
If Will was Willow, the majority of the fandom would be byler shippers. Think about it! . Mike having s2 byler scenes that are identical to s1 mileven scenes, and then additional unique byler scenes. Mike staying by Willow’s side 24 hours a day for several days (not even changing clothes), carrying her out of the hospital, grabbing her hand (with a zoom in shot),constantly asking her if she’s okay at least 5-7 times, putting his arm around her twice, being the only one who could tell something was off with her (and it wasn’t her normal type of quiet). Calling and running all the way to her house and banging on the door to check on her, desperate. Watching her sleep cause he’s so worried. That shed scene reminiscing about how they first met in perfect detail, saying “I asked, I asked if you wanted to be my friend. You said yes, you said yes. It was the best thing I’ve ever done. (like a marriage proposal)”  The “crazy together” scene. Them being close since they were 5 vs the girl he knew for a week (but is somehow in love with?). In s2 if Mike sadly watched Willow dance with another guy , while Dustin does the same to Max. Forget it- everyone would already know mileven would be doomed to fail.
And again think about s3 if Will was a girl.They parallel the (comedic) mileven breakup vs (the sad/serious) byler breakup. Then Mike just complains and burps on the couch vs apologizing to Willlow multiple times/even going into a storm to apologize a 2nd time (and to ‘talk’). Willow having a breakdown over the fight vs El laughing and high five-ing Max after.The shed vs the pool shed scene- “best thing I’ve ever done” vs “you’re the most important thing in the world to me”, “blank makes you crazy’ (as El stares confused) vs “crazy together’ (where Willow says ‘yeah, crazy together’). Mike going on ‘movie dates with Willlow all the time’ right after making out with El. The last mileven kiss where Mike has his eyes open the whole time,  and doesn’t kiss back. And saying he doesn’t remember saying  “I love” you to El (and doesn’t say ‘I love you’ back). Right after having a talk with Willow about playing games when she comes back (the crux of their fight). Mike getting excited that he’ll be able to visit El and Willow on Thanksgiving and them visiting him on Christmas (those are holidays where family usually introduces their S.O.) Having the last scene of Mike,  be him looking back at Willow’s house, and have that whole monologue about “feelings changing”, and then he goes to hug his mom like the s1 byler scene where he thought Willow was dead, signifying he lost her again. And that’s not even all the scenes- and every time byler won by a landslide. If Will was a girl, we wouldn’t be ‘delusional’! It would be obvious writing on the wall, that Mike would eventually choose Willow over El by the end of the series.
But since they are 2 boys, we’re delusional, because queer kids don’t exist … apparently.

i'm having big loving luke skywalker feelings in this chilis can you please talk about your favorite things about him
HELLO it’s always luke skywalker loving hours in this blog so let’s go here are my top reasons why i love luke skywalker in no particular order:
his righteousness: literally every single thing he ever did as a character (at least in the films bc i know jack shit about the eu AND excluding tlj l m a o) he did as an act of kindness, or as something derived from his inherent righteousness!!! like he found out the droids his uncle’d bought belonged to some other dude he didnt even know and he INSTANTLY thought abt giving them back. like the guy could’ve been a serial killer and he didnt care he just wanted 2 do the right thing! when he saw leia’s hologram he immediately thought holy shit ive gotta help her and he literally cruised through the galaxy to do so. he went the extra mile to help those in need...esp. the ppl he cared about on every chance he got and tbh we should all be more like him in that matter
um the fact that i’ve always perceived him as gay: this one’s a little more personal but i think many el gee bee tees see some of themselves in him and that’s always something nice to see and have, even if it was never explicit!!! like i saw a post earlier today abt how revolutionary it was for luke be Like That back when the first star wars was released bc every action movie with a male protagonist at that time followed the macho man archetype and luke is literally the polar opposite of that. i dont know which demon possessed george lucas to make him write luke in that way bc im sure he was OBLIVIOUS of what he’d done and we all know luke was supposed to be his self insert so...whatever demon it was, thank you. neat job. also the fact that mark hamill endorses gay luke skywalker makes my heart grow warm. 
how loving he always was: i think this goes hand in hand with his righteousness or maybe one thing blooms from the other but regardless of the order of things...his fervent love for his friends and the ppl he cared about was baffling to me. and now that my understanding of love has changed and maybe even evolved to a higher level i find that luke’s loving feelings were a CRUCIAL part of his character. a building block...dare i say his very FOUNDATIONS!!! luke skywalker wouldn’t be luke skywalker without the intensity of the love he felt for all the things he cherished.
his fashion sense: goes hand in hand with his gayness because no cishet could ever dress like That. i can’t even pick a favorite outfit of his because they’re all iconic!!!! tatooine farmer boy chic? timeless. xwing flight suit? invented fashion. bespin fatigues???? E P I C. and i wont even get started with the black chanel suit from rotj bc that’s....too powerful and we all KNOW it is.
his determination: okay like we all know george lucas intended for him to follow the OG hero’s journey from Whiny Boy to Man™...and like in a way he kinda did follow it???? but i think we could dive deeper into it. anh luke was just DESPERATE for a way out of his monotonous life (he was also 19 so like...lmao) and in the process he found something much greater!!!! he found out abt the force and found friends and found out the first puzzle pieces of a past that at that moment had been nothing but a blur to him. like imagine the excitement he must’ve felt. the fear. the pain. THE GRIEVING. luke skywalker died three times and was reborn three times. the boy from tatooine died after the death star trench run. a young man with enough drive to defeat an entire Empire on his own was born. then that young man was confronted with like the hardest truth he would EVER learn abt himself and he let it kill him. because he knew once he was reborn again, he would become his best self. never did he waver on what he thought he needed to do in order to become it. he knew there was good in his father so he went and confronted him. he was ready to literally DIE right there because he was sure vader would save him. they saved each other in the end. all thanks to luke and his determination.

An overly long reaction to ST3
Oooh is Billie gonna get possessed
We love when a character no one actually likes is put through hell and becomes a better person from it because of the compassion the heroes needed to show to make him strong enough to fight whatever it is that’s putting them through hell, and ultimately becomes the creepy uncle of the group
AW DUSTIN AND STEVE
“Give him the medicine.”
“Max has dumped me five times!” WHAT
“There’s more to life than boys, y’know?” Hun no she does not she was raised underground and imprinted on mike like a duckling
The eighties were truly a time
I too would like to lounge by the pool, wearing a fashionable swimsuit with heels, makeup, and hair done
Billy bby that limb is looking a lil sketch, you know there’s only one solution
A M P U T A T I O N
Poor will,, disaster gay
It has canonically been years, can they give mike and will a new haircut
Okay so turns out I DON’T just dislike Nancy because I stan Steve, which I genuinely considered might be the reason. Nancy is actually pretty cool and perceptive but she doesn’t care about other people’s feelings the majority of the time and I just don’t like
Karen character development
El going fucking hulk for mike is my aesthetic
Every time hop turns a corner with his gun and flashlight he goes “hUFF”
I like knowing that hop is indeed ruthless enough to shoot a man point blank, execution style, on three just like he said
Wow I can’t believe stranger things invented the terminator
Joyce Byers can put the fear of god in me
“Dude you did it! You won a fight!”
Lucas gotta be like “that was the olive branch you punk ass bitch”
Aww two bloody blobs merge into one to create a monster, peak romance
“Please don’t kill me. I have a bad temper. I’m going to therapy.” THIS is what you say to the giant Russian choking you
With the amount of times Steve has gotten his face rearranged, he should need a plastic surgeon
I admire robin. The way she spit in the Russian mans face and looked him dead in the eye with a tilted chin
“So can we please just come up with a new plan because I love her and I can’t lose her again!”
Oh and “You can’t spell America without Erica” and dustin, amazed, going “that’s right” is iconic
The way El looked at Billy’s dad
El wants to be Billy’s friend confirmed
No not Alexei you bastards
Okay so that’s a mid abdomen hit
You die that fast only if you’re shot in three places; heart, head, lungs. That shot was below the heart and could’ve possibly nicked the lungs, but even then it takes time for your lungs to fill with blood. They totally had time to get at least three quarters of the way to a hospital if they hustled
Hopper in the slide reminds me of canned meat
Limb: looks slightly unhealthy
Me, pulling out my powersaw: welp looks like the only option is to amputate
“Forget tod, Steve’s your daddy now.” I am suddenly a daddy’s girl
Lieutenant... Molotov?
God only will and mike look like fashion disasters
Will always looks like a suddenly aged up child. Like he was 10 and got magicked into puberty
SUSIE IS REAL
I too love pausing in critical moments to sing a song
Hey remember when eleven was in a hallway full of people and snapped their necks. Just thought of that
Nah I’m calling their bluff they won’t kill hopper
WAIT WHAT
Ohhh my god I should’ve seen it. That’s why things with Joyce were resolved and that’s why the cabin got destroyed. They were never going back to it. If he wasn’t slotted to die, they would’ve drawn out the tension between him and Joyce, and the cabin would’ve had plot armor
YOU MAKE ME LIKE BILLY AND THEN YOU KILL HIM
HE DESERVED A REDEMPTION ARC HE DESERVED TO BE THE CREEPY UNCLE CHARACTER
“Some believe satanism is to blame” zoom in on a D&D manual
Everything is awful and season three is canceled

More than 1,100 Arrests. Live Ammunition. Government Censorship. All to No Avail.
Note: This post contains NO graphic imagery
The people of Egypt have spoken in a way that could only be described as revolutionary. What happens next could transform the country.
On Friday night (Sep. 20th, 2019), thousands of people took to the streets of Egypt to protest the current President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi. Protesters were met with brutal force by the military; including tear gas and live bullets. 
Here's a brief overview of what's happening
 [Friday, September 20th, 2019] [x, x, x] 
Two thousand people in Cairo, Alexandria, Damietta, Suez, and a few other cities took to the streets to call for the removal of Sisi.
[Saturday, September 21st, 2019] [x, x, x]
Protests continued in Cairo, Suez, Giza and El Mahalla el Kubra. 
In Suez, demonstrators were met with heavy clouds of teargas, rubber bullets and live bullets.
[Sunday, September 22nd, 2019] [x, x, x]
Sisi blocks media coverage ▸ Access to BBC News, Facebook Messenger/Photo Servers, Al Hurra News, Twitter and Skype is disrupted/tampered with. 
Police presence can be seen in Cairo, Egypt's capital.
⊵ It should be noted that Egypt, alongside China and Turkey, imprisoned the highest number of journalists in  2018. [x, x] ⊴
[Monday, September 23rd, 2019] [x, x,]
A group of Egyptian Army officers encourage protesters; call for an end to the Sisi regime and promise protection. 
This news should be taken with caution
Tumblr media
All the while, protesters have been arrested. So far a continuously growing list by the Egyptian Center for Economic and Social Rights has recorded the names of over 1,000 people who've been jailed. 
Tumblr media
Why is this happening? 
Reasons for calls for Sisi's removal include:
Stealing and Misusing the people's Money
Allegations from Mohammad Ali, a former contractor, who claims Sisi has misspent millions worth of public funds on unnecessary projects including palaces and villas, has been a major fuel for these protests.  [x, x, x]
Claims that Sisi doesn't necessarily deny and are particularly damaging considering one third of Egypt lives in poverty and 60% of the population is struggling under his reforms. 
Keep in mind that the poverty line is set at S1.45 a day. 6% of Egyptians live below the poverty line, making less than $1 a day. 
 Repression of the people
Sisi's regime has jailed/punished hundreds of citizens who voice criticism or anything that can be considered dissatisfaction with the government.  [x, x, x]
Egypt's presidential election lacked minimum requirements for a fair and free election. [x, x, x]
Candidates and potential candidates alike were arrested, placed under house arrest or intimidated into withdrawing. There were also reports of citizens being forced to vote or bribed with food and money, something that's particularly harrowing when you consider the poverty rates.
Executions have also gone up under his reign. [x, x, x, x] 22 executions have happened in 2019 alone, and at least 2,000 people currently sit on death row.
Egypt is one of 23 countries that still uses execution - more than 70% of the world’s countries have abolished capital punishment in law or practice. 
Trials are notoriously unfair and citizens are subjected to military courts and mass trials. [x, x, x]
People have been kept for long periods of time without charge.
Life in prison often includes abuse, torture and lack of adequate medical care. [x, x, x]
Cells are overcrowded, food is scarce, and prisoners are held in these degrading conditions without beds or proper hygiene items. Family member visits are not a certainty. Death from these conditions is not uncommon. In fact, some argue former president Morsi died because of these conditions.
Sisi has also made protesting effectively illegal in Egypt. [x, x, x]
Under his rule, laws were passed allowing the invasion of citizen's privacy online, restrictions to freedom of expression, regulations and censorship to the media, and the jailing of online activists. [x, x, x]
Tumblr media
To give you a sense of Egyptian politics, I’ve composed a *brief* timeline starting from 2011 along with some important facts about Egypt below. 
Before we start, here’s a quick intro to the Muslim Brotherhood: 
A Sunni Islamist organization and influential Islamic Revivalist group founded in the 1920s by Hassan al-Banna. 
Became legal and gained significant political power in 2011 but was outlawed in 2013 and deemed a terrorist organization a few months later under debated circumstances. 
Mohamed Morsi was a part of the Muslim Brotherhood 
Tumblr media
Timeline:
President: Hosi Mubarak  Served as: 4th president of Egypt  [1981 - 2011]
Mubarak was forced to step down during the Egyptian Revolution of 2011
The Egyptian Revolution of 2011 was a series of demonstrations and protests where 846 people were killed and 6,000 were injured. {x, x, x}
The protests were against police brutality, corruption, civil liberty, Mubarak's emergency law, basic freedoms and rights, etc.
After being forced to step down he was charged with profiteering, illegal business dealing involving Israeli gas exports, and the killing of protesters {x, x, x}
President: Mohamed Morsi Served: 5th president of Egypt  [June 30, 2012 - July 3, 2013]
During his brief time in office, Morsi attempted to make vast changes to the Egyptian government and way of life including (among other things):
Attempts to draft a new constitution 
Reinstatements to the Islamist-dominated parliament that was disbanded by the Supreme Constitutional Court 
Objected to provisions limiting presidential powers 
Issued a declaration in late 2012 that, among other things, immunized him from legal challenges and authorized Morsi to take 'any measures necessary'
[30 June 2013]
millions of people rallied across Egypt calling for President Morsi's resignation from office.
[On July 3, 2013]
Then General Abdel Fattah El-Sisi led a coup d'état to remove Morsi from office and suspend the 2012 constitution  
2013 - 2014 Transition Period
Hazem El Beblawi is named interim Prime Minister of Egypt [2013-2014] 
Chief Justice Adly Mansour is named acting President [July 4, 2013-June 8th, 2014]
[July 4, 2013] Violence continues ▻ INJURED: 100 / KILLED: 2 [x, x]
 [July 5, 2013] - "Friday of Rejection" Muslim Brotherhood members and Morsi supporters protest for Morsi's reinstatement. ▻ INJURED: 1,000 / KILLED: 36 [x, x,]
The Rafah Border Crossing is closed.
[July]  Clashes continue.
Deaths include: ▻ a Coptic Priest  ▻ 54 Pro Morsi Protesters     ⤷ During a sit in which the army denied was an excessive use of force. ▻ Deaths: 3 people / Injury: 17       ⤷ when militants fired rocket grenades at bus   ▻ Deaths: 2      ⤷ At Pro Morsi rally by unknown gunman ▻ Death: 1 /  Injury: 15      ⤷ via bomb at a police station ▻ Deaths: 1 / Injury: 17       ⤷ via bomb at another police station  ▻Deaths: 9 {Including 14 y/o child} / Injury: 146       ⤷ during peaceful demonstrations ▻ Deaths: 82-200 protesters / Injury: 299-4,500 protesters Police deny usage of live ammunition, automatic guns and tear gas despite photographic proof.
[August, 2013] 
Evidence surfaces that Morsi supporters have been torturing and killing anti morsi protesters and civilians, 
11-19 bodies were found
[August 13]
Mansour appoints 18 new governors, gets rid of all Muslim Brotherhood members. 
[August 14, 2013] Rabaa Massacre 
Police raided two large Pro-Morsi camps in Cairo to disperse protesters. Death toll: 817-1,150+ civilians. (Muslim Brotherhood says 2,600 died)
The raids were described by Human Rights Watch as "one of the world's largest killings of demonstrators in a single day in recent history".
Some victims were charred beyond recognition after some protester cities were set on fire
Four journalists were killed, several other were arrested.
Egyptian government announces one month State of Emergency as a result.
 Vice President Mohamed El Baradei resigns.
 [August]  Post Rabaa Massacre
 36 churches were set on fire, others looted. [x]
Dozens of Police stations and the finance ministry building were also set on fire - all done by Morsi supporters. 
(August 15)- Curfew is installed, tourist attractions and museums are shut down- Army blocked major squares - 
Early clashes result in over 100 deaths- 173 killed in "Day of Rage"
In all, thousands have been killed in clashes between security forces and supporters / supporters and antis of ousted President Mohamed Morsi during 14–18 August.
Late 2013:
Over a series of protests, clashes: 91 deaths (including children, students and the lynching of one taxi driver), countless injured
2014
Protests and bombings continue.
 The death toll between January-May, 2014 is at least 133.
By May 2014, approximately 16,000 people, mostly Brotherhood members or supporters, have been imprisoned since the coup
June 8th, 2014 : Abdel Fattah El Sisi becomes the 6th president of Egypt
Tumblr media
Some other facts:
The Egyptian government has also held mass trials [x]; tortured + forced disappearances [x], and has jailed/held without charge anybody who shows any form of dissent - including one woman who made a video complaining about sexual harassment  and a tv presenter who had an interview with a gay man. 
Sisi has defended virginity tests on detainees in the past 
He’s denied having political prisoners  even though numbers are around 60,000
And tried to get a CBS interview pulled 
Has made it so that he’s able to stay in power until 2034
People under 35 dominate the demographics which will certainly come into play in the very near future 
Mohamed Ali has called for another protest on Friday

SPN 8x09: “Citizen Fang”
THEN: Martin Creaser, an old hunter friend of the Winchesters. Amelia’s husband Don is back. Sam met Benny, and is phenomenally pissed about his friendship with Dean.
“Born on the Bayou” by Creedence Clearwater Revival.
Carencro, Louisiana.
Tumblr media
Benny in his new (old) job and new alias: Roy.
Benny and Elizabeth are so cute. Guess it runs in the family.
“You got designs?”
“Nah. She's more like a little sister to me, you know?”
Or great grandaughter.
“So you don't mind if I take a shot?” Eww, dude.
Martin. Already on tailing job for Sam.
RIP man from the diner. Throat ripped out.
Let me go ahead and just say that I think this is one of Sam’s worst episodes. He and his decisions piss me the hell off.
“Look, he [Martin] called me when he got out, okay, asked if I had anything for him that might help him ease back into the game. He seemed okay – mostly – so I said yes. I've had him tracking Benny for the past week.”
“You put "mostly okay" Martin on Benny?”
Sam...what the hell. Where did your sense of judgement go in the past year???
“Benny's a vampire. And any hunter worth his salt isn't gonna let one just walk around freely. So I had Martin keep tabs on him. And right now, it's looking like I made the right call.” I already want to punch Sam in the face.
Tumblr media
“You said look for an eruption. How's Mount Vesuvius?”
“I followed him home, just like every night. He turned up a path. I hear a scream. I catch up. Then, boom – there he is. The old coot that Roy was eyeballing at the joint – vamped.”
“Wait – did you actually see Benny kill the guy or not?”
“I saw enough.”
“Well, then, how can you be sure it was Benny if you didn't actually see him do it?”
Dean’s good at discrediting Martin. Then again, an 8 year old could point out the plot holes in Martin’s account of the events.
“This sound like the Benny you know?”
“I don’t know Benny.”
That’s right tho; Sam doesn’t know Benny, hence what’s going on right now.
“Why am I getting the distinct impression that your brother is vouching for a vampire?” Because he is.
“I got history with the guy, okay? I'm not signing up for a witch hunt. I owe him more than that.”
“What in God's great creation could a Winchester possibly owe a vampire?”
HIS LIFE AND THE LIFE OF HIS BEST FRIEND.
At least Sam gave Dean time.
“Sometimes it's not easy to see things for what they are.” You’d know about that, Sam.
Sam and Amelia had a lovely house.
“I don't want to do the right thing. I mean, this is the right thing, you and me.” It’s the right thing for you. 
“Maybe I'm going to hell for saying this, but I'm not ready to give this up.”
“Neither am I.”
Oy vey.
Tumblr media
I love Elizabeth’s accent. It makes words like “gumbo” and pecan” sound wonderful.
“Bad news.”
“You’re out of pecan. Story of my life.”
No pie for Dean.
“Um, listen, I, uh, I tell you what. If he pops up before I can find him, you do me a favor and just have him give me a buzz. Or... could just drop a dime yourself.” Ooohhh Dean-o. I approve of this.
“Benny. I got a body here in Carencro with two holes in it, and I just found out you went fishing. Do I need to tell you what this looks like?”
RIP second victim. Throat ripped out.
Tumblr media
Dean already had a machete ready to go.
Rogue vamp named Desmond wants Benny to be part of his crew.
“I know it's hard to believe, but I haven't always been this cute and cuddly.” Aww.
Benny, having lost Andrea and Dean, wanted to return to something familiar. His hometown.
“Went back to my old job at the café. I even found someone to hold myself accountable to.”
Tumblr media
I really love Benny.
“Benny, you've got two stiffs on your hands and two hunters on your ass.”
“Oh, please. The half-wit who found me at the café? I'll take my chances with him.”
“That half-wit was sent by my brother, and trust me – my brother's not someone you want to mess with.”
Hoo boy.
“Listen, Dean, we came here on a dead body. You asked for some time, and now there's another dead body. Are we just going on trust here?” Yes, because he’s your brother, he knows Benny and the vamp that’s actually doing this.
Tumblr media
“But the one thing I can say about Benny – he has never let me down.”
“Huh. Well, good on you, Dean. Must feel great finally finding someone you can trust after all these years.”
Sam’s feelings got hurt big time again.
“You're too close to this.” Oh and you weren’t too close to the Amy thing?
M A R T I N. WHAT THE FUCK.
“Glad your dad wasn't around to hear that. He'd have a mind to take you both out the woodshed and show you what's what. Half inclined to do it myself.”
Tumblr media
“You listen to me. I brought you into this. I can bring you out just as easy.” YOU SHOULD HAVE.
“Just saying – brother chooses a vampire over a brother? I know how I'd feel.” pfft, ask Sam about Ruby.
Sam, meet Don.
“You are Sam, right? Relax. I ain't here to fight.”
“I heard about what happened to you. Rough deal.”
So was Don a POW? What exactly happened to him that made everyone believe he was dead?
“Truth is, I can't blame either of you for what happened. Hell, there were days there I thought I was a dead man. But when I do come back and what I come back to is this, well, it ain't no great mystery if part of me is thinking, ‘What's wrong with this picture?’" That’s extremely fair.
Tumblr media
“I know part of her loves me. And now... part of her loves you. But the only one that knows what's best for Amelia is Amelia. So when all of this is said and done and she's made her decision, I'll respect it. And if you truly love her, you'll do the same.” Don was a stand up guy. I liked him.
Hell, he even bought Sam a beer.
Sam didn’t object to Martin handcuffing Dean to a radiator???
“They didn't go for it. They're on their way to you. I'd get scarce.”
“No offense, Dean, but your little brother doesn't exactly put chills up my spine.”
“Benny, listen to me. Do not underestimate my little brother, okay? He can and will kill you given the chance.” 
Benny should be wary of Sam. Sam’s feelings are hurt, he’s feeling petty, and like Dean just said, Sam’s looking for any reason to kill Benny. Shitty reasons, but he’s looking for ‘em.
Dean and Benny are off to find Desmond.
The text from “Amelia”. ”Sam, I need your help. Come quick.”
Why the hell would Sam leave without telling Martin ANYTHING.
RIP Desmond. Killed by Benny.
Out of context, Benny staring at Dean’s neck is gay af.
Tumblr media
“My life here is over, isn't it?”
“Afraid so.”
Everything familiar to Benny is now gone. :(
“Guys like us, we don't get a home. We don't get family.”
“You got Sam.”
Dean knows he might not have Sam for long, considering what he just did.
Tumblr media
“I'm, uh...I'm leaving.”
“What? Don found you at the bar.”
“Amelia –”
“He threatened you.”
Why did she immediately jump to that conclusion? What the fuck?
“Look, I'm just trying to do the right thing here.”
“The right thing? This morning, you and I were the right thing, remember?”
it was a selfish thing.
“I mean... Amelia, you saved me.” *s i g h*
Benny wanted to say goodbye to family.
“Thanks for not giving up on me, brother.” :’)
Dean tries to end this with Martin.
“Oh, and Martin?”
“Yeah?”
“Find a new line of work.”
Boom.
Martin really walked his dumb ass back to the diner.
Martin’s a piece of garbage hunter.
Martin really had to bring a civilian into this.
“Lizzie” Damn it, that’s so sweet.
“Please. I'm asking you – do not do this.” Benny really tried to resolve this peacefully.
WHAT THE FUCK, MARTIN.
“What do you want?”
“Isn’t it obvious? I want your head...on a stake.”
Tumblr media
AWWW BENNY NOOO. CAN WE NOT DO THIS TO ME.
Amelia’s just fine...with Don. What a rude awakening for Sam.
“Feel Alright” by Steve Earle.
“Y-you told me to call you if I saw... him.”
“What do you mean? Roy? Is – is he there right now? Elizabeth, what's going on?”
“Just come.”
Tumblr media
Poor Elizabeth. How in the hell did she get over the things she saw that night?
There was a huge fight.
RIP Martin Creaser. Killed by Benny.
“That Old Familiar Pain” by Marlin James (Sonoton Music). A little on the nose there.
The trick is revealed.
“Swapping Amelia's phone out with a burner, sending a distress signal... You got me good. When did you do that?”
“While back, in case I needed it. Looks like I made the right call.”
Did you? Even I question it.
“Any casualties?”
“Martin.”
“Was it Benny?”
“He had it coming, Sam. I'll tell you what happened.”
“I-I know what happened, Dean.”
NO, YOU DON’T.
Tumblr media
Damn it, Sam. Martin’s involvement, the mishandling of the situation,  the near death of Elizabeth, and Martin’s death: It’s all because Sam couldn’t think clearly through his hurt feelings and pettiness. Sam brought Martin into this, failed to keep the situation in control, and look what happened. On top of all that, he refuses to accept any responsibility for this. It pisses me off. 
El Sol.
“I knew that was you.”
And now I have to deal with Amelia again.

Warrior Great Sea Saga Chapter 1: A New Warrior Disturbance
Tumblr media
Dana The Writer: Welcome To The Branders Series 96 of the tAll3Shyguy Timeline BU 400 Years Era called "Warrior Great Sea Saga". This will have fates characters in it and 1 lesbian couple and 1 gay couple. The Gay Couple is Warrior-Arthur-X-Warrior-Kaden. The Lesbian Couple is Warrior-Elise-X-Warrior-Sakura who are stars of this story.
Warrior Sakura: Wait, how a-are W-warrior E-elise and I-I stars of the W-warrior G-great S-sea S-saga?
Warrior Elise: I also am wondering that.
Light Lucina: I am too.
Light Male Robin: That's not to be revealed until chapter 2. The thing is we actually learn of the Gay couple being together during fates but the lesbian couple as their wifes to produce their children with Warrior Percy have Warrior Kaden's hair color and Warrior Selkie having Warrior Arthur's Hair color which confused Warrior Elise and Warrior Sakura until this chapter when the gay couple is revealed.
Light Lucina: So basically Warrior Arthur broke Warrior Elise's Heart and Warrior Kaden broke Warrior Sakura's Heart?
Warrior Kaden: Yeah, that's true. We are truly sorry for that.
Warrior Arthur: If Lady Warrior Elise can forgive me, I hope Lady Warrior Camilla can too.
Warrior Elise: I talk her down so that she doesn't hurt you. I also mention to both her and you about a certain other feelings for someone else.
Warrior Kaden: Well I hope Warrior Hinoka doesn't hurt me for breaking Warrior Sakura's Heart.
Warrior Sakura: I do to W-warrior H-hinoka what W-warrior E-elise does to W-warrior C-camilla for y-you as well. I also m-mention to b-both W-warrior H-hinoka and y-you about c-certain o-other f-feelings for s-someone el-else a-as well.
Warrior Camilla and Warrior Hinoka: Wait you both mentioned certain other feelings for someone else. Do you tell us sisters who you're talking about or what those feelings are?
Warrior Sakura: N-nope.
Warrior Elise: Thinking about what happens later, we probably should have.
Light Male Robin: Another thing to blame on the villain because the gay couple being revealed is thanks to him to.
Warrior Sakura: Well, one good thing is t-that the T-temple Of W-warrior Hy-hylia is built because of h-him.
Warrior Ryoma: I am going to speed this up.

Warrior Great Sea Saga Chapter 1: A New Warrior Disturbance
At Windmire Castle, Warrior Elise and Warrior Sakura are surprised to find their husbands kissing each other.
Warrior Elise shouts "What is going on here?"
Their Husbands, Warrior Arthur and Warrior Kaden, turn around to see their wives.
Warrior Arthur And Warrior Kaden say together "I can explain."
Warrior Elise says "which one of you first?"
Warrior Arthur says "I think I can answer for both of us, Lady Warrior Elise. Still don't why I feel the urge to include Warrior. The thing is I actually have been in a relationship since the middle of Corrin's Campaign against Anakos. That is why our son, Warrior Percy, has Warrior Kaden's Hair Color."
Warrior Kaden says "That is also why Our Daughter, Warrior Selkie, has Warrior Arthur's Hair Color on her streak, Warrior Sakura. I am truly sorry for doing this to you. The truth is we actually just needed you two to create children for us. We wanted kids but couldn't get them together."
"S-so that justifies a r-reason to pretend to love us?!" Warrior Sakura shouts.
"Warrior Sakura, calm down. It is not like they weren't going to tell us eventually. Right, you two?" Warrior Elise says/
"Indeed, Lady Warrior Elise. Though this was not how we intended to tell you. There was a plan for it. Then somehow you two were able to find us making out." Warrior Arthur says.
"Warrior Sakura, Please Forgive us." Warrior Kaden says.
Warrior Sakura responds "I will but I don't know if Warrior Hinoka will."
Warrior Kaden gulps.
"Same thing with Warrior Camilla." Warrior Elise Says.
Warrior Arthur gulps.
Warrior Kaden says "Please can I talk to you alone, Warrior Sakura?"
Warrior Arthur says "I want to Speak to Warrior Elise Alone."
Both Of The Girls respond that they will talk to their unloving spouse.
"Warrior Elise, can you please talk to Warrior Camilla? Make sure she doesn't chop off my head for breaking your heart." Warrior Arthur asks.
"You know I always thought something was up when you two would go off on your own to think it was because you were a couple." Warrior Elise says "But, I am actually glad that to be the case."
Warrior Arthur says, questionly, "Huh?"
"There is someone else who I have certain feelings for. I just don't know if they will accept them." Warrior Elise says.
Warrior Elise then walks away. A Similar Situation happened with Warrior Kaden and Warrior Sakura with Warrior Sakura Tripping over her words. After that she also walks away. The youngest princess tell their older sisters about the truth of their relationships with their unloving husbands and mention again that There is someone else who they have certain feelings for but just don't know if they will accept them. A Day later, all The Warrior Fates Characters except for the Awakening Trio are pulled from their world to The Great Sea Era Rift in Hyrule just appeared at the moment they were pulled.
"I'm Sensing another rift between the eras. Will you inspect it for us?" Warrior Impa says.
Light Male Robin says "The Warrior Shepherds, Light Lucina, Light Morgan, Light Marc, and I are going with you Warrior Link, if you do."
Warrior Link says "I am going. These rifts have got to be stopped."
Warrior Owain says "I'm sensing strange powerful magic pulling the world to this one as well as another Area as well."
Warrior Lissa says "Don't listen to him. He's just being overdramatic."
Warrior Severa whispers "Do you sense Warrior Corrin and Warrior Azura in that other area, Warrior Owain?"
Warrior Inigo whispers "You can't be seriously believing that he can sense Warrior Corrin and Warrior Azura."
"No, I think he can sense Warrior Leo Though. After all, he was Warrior Leo's Retainer." Warrior Severa whispers.
"You strikes a point." Warrior Inigo whispers. Warrior Inigo whispers "So Do you sense Warrior Leo?"
"I do." Warrior Owain whispers.
"This can't be good that we have that world colliding with ours." Warrior Severa says.
Suddenly An Outrealm Power opens and Light Male Robin, Light Lucina, Light Morgan, and Light Marc come out of it.
"You guys won't be alone. We are coming as well." Light Lucina says.
Warrior Impa says "Why must you guys come as well?"
"Because the Writers ordered my wife, my children, and me to help out warrior Link and the Warrior Shepherds in this saga for some reason." Light Male Robin says.
Warrior Zelda says "I should Go as well."
Warrior Impa says "No, you're needed here, as am I. Warrior Link, Warrior Shepherds and our BU Allies, we must ask you to look into this for us."
In The Warrior Great Sea Era, Warrior Tetra says "What... Just Happened?"
Though peace was expected to return to Warrior Hyrule after Warrior Ganon's Fall, something rather ominous happened instead. New World Appeared--a world of a different dimension. Warrior Impa had summoned Warrior Link and The Warrior Shepherds to Warrior Hyrule Castle where they also met up with Light Male Robin, Light Lucina, Light Morgan, and Light Marc. Warrior Impa asked all of the summoned characters and 4 outrealmers to investigation this strange happening. Once the preparations for his adventure were complete, The Ones going to investigate set off. They entered this strange new world. It was a vast, mysterious dimension with an unfamiliar landscape. There They met a girl who was battling monsters. Her name was Warrior Tetra. She was the leader of a gang of pirates. But she had been separated from her crew during the recent dimensional event. Though Strangers, everyone could agree on one thing: The Monsters Warrior Tetra was battling had to be defeated. They joined forces to take on the enemy.
Warrior Proxi shouts "Oh no! That town is being attacked by monsters! We have to do something!"
Warrior Tetra says "The Enemies are coming from the Warrior Forsaken Fortress. I bet their leader is in there."
Light Male Robin says "Probably a good bet."
Light Morgan says "Father, I feel the presence of Fire Emblem Characters besides the ones who came with us. They are in the dock area."
"Take The Bomb Shop to get to the docks." Warrior Tetra says.
Warrior Link working with Warrior Owain Take the Bomb Shop. The Bomb Shop door to the docks opens and out pop the Warrior Fates Characters.
First one who appears is Warrior Leo who says "Warrior Odin, is that you?"
Warrior Xander then appears and sees Warrior Inigo making him say "Warrior Laslow, what are you doing here?"
Warrior Camilla then appears and sees Warrior Severa making her say "Warrior Selena, How in the world..."
Warrior Corrin appears and says "I also see Warrior Refleto, what is this place?"
"Milord Warrior Corrin..." Warrior Reflet says "The Four Of Us can tell you this now this is the world we came from. You're in a nation connected to our homeworld distorted by A Portal of Sorts."
Warrior Felicia appears "Everyone, I think she is telling the truth because I see the land around and there is water and then strange purple liquid connecting the water to patches of grass."
"Let's Get through this battle and then we see what's going on here." Warrior Elise says.
Warrior Sakura says "V-very much agreed to that s-since this l-looks like a b-battle is g-going on."
Warrior Tetra says "Time to defeat these monsters coming from the Warrior Forsaken Fortress."
Warrior Boss Blin says "If we drive out this accursed bird, the fortress will be ours!"
"They Want More Territory, huh? Don't give them an inch of Windfall Island!" Warrior Tetra says.
Warrior Xander says "I would have to say this island, as it once was, must be important so Warrior Nohrians, Join The Warrior People in driving back the monsters."
"As will we Warrior Hoshidians Join The Battlefield." Ryoma says.
"Warrior Valla is helping to end this war and will have Warrior Lilith prepare the Astral Castle For Us." Warrior Kamui who just so happens to be Male Corrin says.
Warrior Corrin says "This is something we must do."
"We know little about who linked Warrior Tetra's Great Sea Era with our main era of our world. You guys helping us will help achieve finding it." Warrior Chrom says.
"Hmm..." Light Male Robin says "I know of two of the Nohrian and Hoshidian couples here had a little disagreement that was actually the truth."
"You do?" Warrior Elise says "How?"
"I-I got to a-ask that as well." Warrior Sakura stammers out.
"Because I have the outrealm power so I can see everything that happens in any outrealm." Light Male Robin says "Plus I am a chosen one of my Universe's Gods. True fact. In my Universe, People are chosen to watch over planets as each planet has very different people. The Reason you new additions are called Warrior and then your name is because your world is an outrealm to my main one."
"Interesting. I wonder what caused us to be a outrealm." Warrior Leo says.
"Simply Put The Warrior Shepherds were part of a failed timeline of our universe that failed to defeat Tabuu, a Writer who eats Universes by Absorbing them into his subspace one. This guy was defeated in ours but we have learned that he was just a pawn of the true enemy." Light Lucina explains.
"Interesting." Warrior Takumi says.
They move out toward the Forsaken Fortress and find head shaped rocks in the way.
"Oh Man, head shaped boulders block our path." Warrior Takumi says
"The Hammer can help with that if we can find out where we need to use it." Warrior Proxi says.
"Those foul humans are up to something! Go find out what!" Warrior Boss Blin says.
"They're closing in from three different directions. We need to divide and conquer to drive them back!" Warrior Proxi says.
Warrior Hylian Captain says "We strike at the monsters at the east if you can handle the ones in the center!"
"I command Warrior Elise and Warrior Sakura to pair up and go after the ones in the center and Warrior Link go with them. The Rest of you fates characters and Warrior Tetra, go with the Warrior Hylian Soldiers. I am betting they will need our help. I want the Warrior Awakening Characters and The BU People to head after The the West." Light Male Robin says.
"Who died and made you the one who decides that?" Warrior Takumi says.
"Lord Warrior Takumi, Light Male Robin is a skilled tactician and the one who leads his own Chrom who look like a yellow version of Warrior Chrom into battle and is the reason we won against Tabuu as it was his Grima half that defeat Tabuu and Light Male Robin covered for his Grima Half." Warrior Owain says.
"That's good to know. Alright then, we need to do his tactic." Warrior Takumi says. "I just don't get why he is sending Warrior Elise and my little sister together with Warrior Link."
Light Male Robin says "My Gods of My Universe told me to. They are directly linked to all conflict connected to my universe including this one as they write it up as the history of each world. We 4 BU Selves are like The Guardians of them so we know a lot about especially since we live on their world."
"Okay then." Warrior Takumi says.
"Never thought that would get a Takumi to shut up." Light Male Robin thinks.
Warrior Boss Blin says "If you trust in your strength...come at me!"
"He's mocking us!" Warrior Takumi says "Don't go."
"Too Late for Warrior Elise and Warrior Sakura... They are charging toward him with Warrior Sakura riding the back of Warrior Elise's Horse." Warrior Chrom says.
"Wait they trust in their strength? Why? They're healers." Warrior Ryoma says.
"Something ticked them off." Warrior Xander says "Let's go save them."
Warrior Boss Blin says "You healers have come to come at me? I will take you down."
Suddenly a flash happens.
"What the-?" Warrior Ryoma says.
"What's going on?" Warrior Xander says.
"I can't do this alone!" Warrior Sakura says as she fires off a whole bunch of arrows.
"I'll fight with you, Warrior Sakura!" Warrior Elise says as she casts random spells and then says "Warrior Gigunnagap!" Unleashing a Warrior Gigunnagap spell on The Warrior Boss Blin, defeating him.
"Wait a minute, Where's Warrior Tetra?" Warrior Proxi says.
In the new world, Warrior Link, The Warrior Shepherds, and the 4 BU Selves met the pirate leader, Warrior Tetra, and The Warrior Fates Characters and they fought valiantly together as allies. But it would seem their enemies were stronger and craftier than they had imagined... After Claiming Victory, Everyone looked up into the sky to see a monstrous bird flying off into the distance. Squinting to get a better view, Warrior Link saw that the giant bird was carrying something in its talons. Not something--someone! It was Warrior Tetra! Warrior Link and his allies had to do something, or she would be lost forever. Warrior Link and his allies prepared to dash off to save her without a second thought except for Warrior Corrin.
"Wait, If Warrior Lilith can configure the astra realm right, we can teleport right to where Warrior Tetra is going." Warrior Kamui says.
"It will take time in the astra realm but the Astra Realm's time is not the same as the normal world." Warrior Corrin says.
Warrior Proxi says "If what you say is true, I suggest Warrior Link take that idea and use it."
Light Male Robin says "Actually The Gods Of My Universe Command it be done that way."
"Wait, the Writers aka gods of your universe command that be done. They must trust it." Warrior Chrom says.
Warrior Reflet says "Yes, which means we must as well."
So They Headed to Warrior Astra Castle. There they met up and started planning their offensive. At That place, it seemed Light Male Robin was the one controlling what happened with the cursor at first and will be for the next chapter.
