when I say that Will being canonically gay in stranger things is the biggest proof we need for byler it’s not simply because we know he is gay and that’s it - there is context that comes from being in fandoms for something like 12 yrs or more. 

first of all, I’ve started watching ST because of people talking about will and byler on twitter (in july), as a person who barely knew anything about it (I didn’t even know mike and el were a couple, so I was super surprised they decided to make it romantic in s1 when I didn’t really feel like it would happen). 

i was a sherlock fan who shipped sherlock/john. i’ve shipped non-canon couples for a long time (fandom spaces are queer spaces a lot of times). i know what it feels like to read things from a text that could imply things - a text that could be queercoded, depending on interpretation. i know what it feels like to have fun with fanon and ship things that are potentially there, but not textually canon (like steddie or ronance, imo). it’s fun and it’s mostly harmless, until the writers decide to use it as queerbait to make their fandom stay with them for a long time because they’re rooting for their queer ship (i think supernatural is the worst example of this, as they confirmed the one-sided love and then killed the queer character and sent him to hell LMAOOO). those are milking the fandoms, knowing the strongest core of a fandom is the hardcore ones (many queers) and not the casual public.

i’m a big fan of hannibal, yuuri!! on ice and she-ra, three shows that are mostly queercoded until they aren’t (and they confirm the queer ship to be canon). i swear, people CAN tell. you can see when there is a creator and writer and team who truly wants to tell a queer story/relationship, even when they can’t show it openly (like hannibal or yoi). as a person of the community myself, i’ve been able to tell it was canon. it’s different from fans just shipping things, or queerbaiting, there is care and intention and writing and parallels and romantic framing and so many things that make you see that it is there.

(now, for byler i hope it’s different. every straight couple in ST has at least one kiss and i think byler HAS to have at least one (dramatic, passionate, show-stopping) kiss because it would be totally unfair if they don’t. they have to be totally and utterly canon)

what is different about byler and stranger things, compared to sherlock or other shows for the straights? 

it’s will being canonically gay. bbc sherlock would never do that. bbc sherlock would mock feelings. he would laugh about love. he would probably be even a bit homophobic, just for the sake of it.

and it’s not just will being canonically gay, it’s his love for mike being canon. i’m sure other people have said it, but will’s love for mike is NOT JUST A CRUSH. it’s not ridiculed. sure, it’s used to forward a straight ship (that is sinking), but the story is not finished yet and i want to believe that byler is endgame and the writing in s4 was meant to 1) leave things uncomplete and unseattled between mike and will, between lies and non-confessed feelings; and will being in the middle of a relationship that is sinking. 2) mike responding to will’s feelings of love and to no one else, not even el begging for him to say he loves her. 3) making EVERYONE AND THEIR MOTHERS feel sorry for will. cry for will. pity will. root for will. root for GAY WILL. (people who think he is straight and he loves el don’t count, those are morons) 

will’s love for mike is LOVE in capital letters. it is not a crush. it’s never treated as something to laugh about, or something like a one-sided crush like Dustin’s crush for Max or Steve’s crush for Robin, those feelings are clearly more superficial and you can see that they’re not gonna happen from miles away. will’s love is A LOVE THAT MOVES MOUNTAINS. it’s totally romantic. deeply rooted. it’s like those loves you can see between jancy or lumax or even more jopper in s4, a love that saves one another, that makes people do crazy things, a love that is inherently part of the character, that makes them FEEL and DO and LIVE and you can’t imagine them not being in love with that person. 

these writers know how to write that type of love. each canon ship they made (even s1/2 milkvan in some ways), i’ve loved it. they know what they’re doing, how to make it feel like it’s true love even without writing grand love confessions or making them kiss every other episode. it’s in THE NARRATIVE, the things the characters do and say and imply.

and even more, about byler... something i wrote in a fic i’ll never finish but imo it’s the biggest point we can take away from will’s love and confession in s4. WILL SEES MIKE. will sees mike for who he is and loves him anyways. he sees the best and worst in him and still loves him and knows him and grounds him to reality and tells Mike how he could be the best version of himself, pushing him to fight for it (you are the heart). will’s love is ancient and deep, it’s a love that we don’t even know when it started, it’s always been there, it’s always been part of will (and part of mike, because it IS MUTUAL). it’s like breathing. like the sun every morning, it’s just there. it’s not going away. it’s not even a choice, at this point, there is an helplessness in the love will feels - it’s too big and too much for him he would love to run away from it, but still he can’t deny his heart. 

and that’s why i think byler is endgame. because will is canonically gay, and he is in love, and no one is making fun of him for that. his love for mike is serious, profound, romantic, genuine. it makes you cry and root for him. it’s LOVE. the strongest of forces. and every byler scene is made with care. it’s never taken lightly, not even their fights, they always matter. there is no mocking in there. no sneer. it’s treated genuinely. almost like the creators are telling you: “look here, look at them, it matters. it matters to them and it should matter to you. there is something serious brewing here, and it is romantic love”

#byler #personal #mike wheeler #hello i'm a romantic #idk if i already expressed these things in other posts or tags bc i cant remember what i say in here and i waht i simply think and it's bee #two months of me thinking about them so i'm sure these idea have evolved with time and i'm still digesting them fjhrfijrh #but yeah. YEAH. #will byers #i just think will's love for mike is neat and mike's love for will is even more neat #this is probably me thinking and digesting 200 analysis posts i've read in weeks but also AHHH I NEED TO SCREAM #irbgrig9tu #me pretending to be media literate as a queer kid who has consumed and fantasized about queer ship for 2/3 of their lives #no but for real i finished watching st s4 and i felt: wow. this is differnet. this has the potential to be groundbreaking and the duffers #could become icons in mainstream media just for making them happen. wow will is canonically gay in a show that is THAT BIG? in a bro-media? #it's a bro-coded genre and they're gay??? ?WILL IS GAY??? WHAT IS GOING ON #i was a confused queer for a whole two days #My st talks

its so funny to me that the mermaid transformation canonly adds lip gloss to their mermaid forms. like can you Imagine

#the moonpool was so girlboss for that one #truly iconic #h2o just add water #it's just so funny like i know logically it's just cuz it was a kids show and they wanted them to look hot in 200 pound orange tails #but HEIUHFOEIRUHFPODSI #i would simply lose my mind if i was lewis like literally try explaining that. try explaining how the 400 year old moonpool is aware #of kylie's cosmetics and picked out the color glossy gold champagne for their mermaid forms. oh my god i would snap #(for legal reasons that is a joke and i do not actually know what the color of gloss they used was <3)

Rewatching love in the air and I had the random yet genius thought "what if Rain was transmasc" so now you get to have the thought as well

#love in the air #was jsut thinking about how iconic this show is so decided to rewatch on a whim #I truly love rain so much.. he s so silly and not very smart and also very cute. I want him #I had this thought the first time I watched it as well: rain is truly the most desirable guy in this show to me #I would not fucking handle payu. like byee lol #rain ?? doing literally the absolute most to prove himself. being a sweetheart. I WANT HIM #thats all I have to say about that #payu is hot but thats all he got going for him ngl. like #I would simply say bye

any other asian/poc sunny fans in awe of how popular the "solves the north korea situation" episode still is. not rcg perpetuating the infantilization of asian women (as if an asian child looks the same as an asian woman right?) and the tiger mom stereotype, having a scene where an asian person just happens to know martial arts, and having the asian characters speak in super exaggerated accents all in one episode (listen to tania's/sun li's real accent here). and then when it came to talk about it in the podcast they were half apologetic but mostly embarrassed/awkward for like 2 minutes and then kinda just moved past it. "our hearts were in the right place." it's all so different from when they portray the gang doing racist things because in this case they're portraying asian people as though they're Like That (in this universe).

#“our hearts were in the right place” is crazy to say about the racism in this episode LMAO ok we get it ur a white liberal ♥️ #because i simply dont believe they were putting real consideration and thought into how they were portraying asian people in this episode #ik they were younger but they were like 30. and ik it was the early 2000s but why is it evoking breakfast at tiffanys (1961) 💀 #i seem like a hater rn but i do love the show but omg are some things so stupid and i think its a mistake that rcg does like to write #episodes like this that kind of have to do with POC and their writing team is majority white #(at least from what i could tell) #i still love the pirate joke and the show etc. but you know. im like what do you mean this is an iconic episode everyone loves #nina.rambles #rant #iasip #this is a post For Me. and also yes i admit i like problematic media its my favorite

honestly pros of twn rience are just. that line about fire magic destroying the soul or whatever. it's very sick that they looked at a character that in the books is essentially just a henchman with few magic tricks of his own and were like "anyway he's specifically into fire in a nasty way". gives him a nice aesthetic that simply didn't exist in the books.

the cons of twn rience are everything that happens in s3.

#they truly were like 'this guy can make flames on his fingers' and then didn't channel that into iconic ice skating death symbolism #like come on man what's that about #the other con is that probably 95% of show fans think he is simply called 'fire fucker' i hate it here #in the books the GUY LOSES HIS FINGERS TO CIRI'S ICE SKATES ON A FROZEN LAKE come on that would slap for a fire fingers guy #that fire thing isn't there in the books either

it’s the real life weight of friday night lights for me. the way things that are hard are just hard for a while and often solved in unexpected ways that involve some combination of compromise or luck or timing intersecting with characters and their choices but it’s never slick? there’s never a pat lesson to be learned or resolution reached in one episode or even two. and there’s always a certain real life quality of bitterness or regret threaded through it too even while the show is hopeful and forward moving.

#idk like. Coach wins state because he is a determined ICON of a man with vision and power #and like. Joe McCoy comes in and steals his whole program because he’s an evil snake #and that’s just what HAPPENS #and so coach leaves and has to go work for the lions #and he does it AGAIN because he’s Coach and he has the goods #and yet the loss is real and bitter and like evil did sort of triumph #idk it’s just. It’s not sentimental and it’s not slick and it’s not easy and it’s not formulaic #and sometimes I like tv for being all of those things #but I LOVE it when it is none of those and just rises above to tell something truer #fnl is the true anti fishbowl tv show #there are speeches and there are moments and also it’s simply too real for a storyline to be resolved by a Moment #friday night lights

i made myself a new icon!

it was traced from a photo so the lines are not mine!! i had so much fun with the coloring tho ✨✨

#my post #my art #hobi #bts #icon #TBH i didn't do this with a new icon in mind #i made it for myself and my mom and sister to print on pins haha #i'm preparing some bts themed pins for the three of us on christmas #i didn't make it to show off my drawing skills i simply wanted it to be easily recognisable #that's why i decided on tracing #and i think the dynamite hobi is iconic enough
