This is everything the Stranger Things writers have posted publicly about the WGA strike:

TIMELINE

May 3rd:

Stranger Things writer Caitlin Schneiderhan tweets picture from personal Twitter account of sign from the strike that reads 'Pay us or Steve Harrington is toast'

May 6th:

Official Stranger Writers Twitter account makes post on behalf of the Duffers Brothers. They have since pinned this tweet to their profile. "Duffers here. Writing does not stop when filming begins. While we're excited to start production with our amazing cast and crew, it is not possible during this strike. We hope a fair deal is reached soon so we can all get back to work. Until then -- over and out. #wgastrong

Bonus:

May 12th:

Stranger Things writer Kate Trefry posts picture from personal Tumblr account of sign that reads, 'Byler won’t write itself'

As far as I know, the two writers that posted on their personal socials are the only writers from ST that even have personal accounts that are public, whereas the rest of the writers do not.

What does make me take a pause though, is that, while yes they did post these pictures from their personal accounts, which is about as official as it gets, they also cryptically did not include themselves in said pictures...

This just got me thinking about how Stranger Things is quite literally Netflix and vise versa. They are practically one in the same, where one without the other just doesn't make sense.

While this conflict of interest might run deep for many writers out there fearing to speak out against their employer, for us, the consumers, the fans, we as a collective have so much more power than we realize.

In contrast to the writers, streamers can't just fire their consumer base sometime down the line, out of spite for speaking out. Without consumers, neither Stranger Things nor Netflix would be what it is today.

We have the affordance of being able to speak up the loudest of anyone. And so why wouldn't we take advantage of that?

There are so many people out there protesting: writers, actors, others in the industry and even outside of it who are also taking a stand, many who need support so that they can continue to fight in the upcoming days, weeks, months, without being deterred by corporations that are making them feel greedy for demanding a contract that at most, asks that they be paid fairly.

And so I want to encourage anyone that is reading this, but fellow fans of Stranger Things especially, who have so much power in this strike when it comes to getting Netflix's attention, to consider taking the time to do whatever you can individually + with the masses as a community in order to best support the strike.

Follow the Strike! If you're active on various social media already, please be sure to follow the official accounts advocating for the strike via Instagram (@writersguildwest/@wgaeast), via Twitter (@WGAWest/@WGAEast). Engage with posts from folks that are out there daily, many with whom you can find by following tags like #WGAStrong, #WGAStrike and #WritersStrike. Although most fans are not able to join in picketing themselves, we can at least recognize all of those out there's individual efforts and do our best to show that we're paying attention and listening!

Spread the word! Show support any way you can by sharing posts and articles about the strike, or even fun memes to inform others in a more engaging way. This is the official site for the WGA strike if you want to learn more about what’s going on before diving in! And make sure to stay up-to-date here as things continue to unfold!

Donate! The Entertainment Community Fund is endorsed by the WGA for anyone that wants to support those affected by the strike financially. And this thread on Twitter is an incredible resourse, as it provides an ‘easy, one-click, stress-free, accessible-to-all-budgets’ ways you can support folks on the front lines.

Also! Consider donating through this link for the Entertainment Community Fund, where the money donated still goes directly to that fund, this is just an organizing page for Stranger Things fans specifically! By allowing fans to see how much of an impact we make as a collective, in real time, this could encourage even more ST fans to want to contribute. In a best case scenario, if this GoFundMe were to reach impressive proportions of donations from fans, that could lead to news outlets reporting on it, which could allow an opportunity for even more eyes on the strike, while also even more importantly being able to provide financial support to those that need it.

Trend! On social media, use #StrangerFansforWGA to trend or even just to reach other fans also looking to come together to support the strike!

While I know this post probably wont reach anywhere outside of Tumblr, I want to make a point to encourage those of you that are on other platforms to inform fans in those spaces about the strike and what they can do to help!

We might not all agree on everything, but I think we can agree on at least one thing... @Netflix & all major streamers and networks out there, who are still refusing to make a fair deal: PAY YOUR WRITERS!

In the mean time, if you're interested in working on different ideas for initiates we can carry out as a fandom, please reach out to me! I might only one person and I might not have all the answers and solutions, but I do know that with more of us working together, our odds of making an impact are much greater!

Over and out!

bringing this back, there were 2 byler signs, Kate Trefry, a st writer wrote the first one and took a pic of it and then a man (who I'm assuming is a st writer) made the other byler sign

Kate liked a byler almost kiss art

aka what an unsent letter from mike to will would have said (in my opinion)

(based on the lettergate tweet from the st writers)

#praying tumblr doesn't destroy the quality #but here is my interpretation of the byler letter using the lettergate tweet! #pls like and rb if this made you feel crazy cause i know i did. writing it #stranger things #mike wheeler #will byers #lettergate #byler #photo set #mine #stranger things 4 #stranger things 5 #st writers #stranger things writers

We seriously need to get some st fanfic writers to write the script for season 5 instead of the official writers.

Are they f*cking with us?

Some Bylers have used Dawson's Creek as a Byler reference and inspo many times, even mentioning how The Duffers love it and they pulled this crap?

Watch them post something about One Tree Hill, another show Bylers have used as Byler reference and for parallels, lol.

#if they post something about one tree hill i will lose my sh*t lol #imagine #they are playing with us #i still don't trust them #at all! #and what even is the meaning of those two circles? #are those tunnels? #large breats? #holes? #a tractor? #a car? #wheels? #a map? #i guess we'll never know #at least until st5 premieres lol #st writers #strangerwriters #byler #byler tumblr #st inspo #from twitter #st5?

weekly scripts…. how i miss you…

#byler #st #byler script #st writers #it’s been almost 5 months

[emblazons]

you’re gonna look me in my goddamn eyes and tell me that the official stranger things writers account posted for the entire world a script that had this line included…and there are still people who think imminent m*leven breakup subtext doesn’t even exist?

You couldn’t be more dense if you tried at this point. It doesn’t even matter if it made it intro the show—the sentiment bleeds into the narrative so loudly you’d have to be media illiterate not to see it.

Oh. Wait

#I used this quote in that gifset of el earlier and could not stop thinking about it #I can’t even believe it’s a debate at this point LMAO #breakup doubt for any writer should have DISAPPEARED at this point lmao #anti mlvn #byler #mike wheeler #st writers #st crew #my st commentary #stranger things

[shreya11111]

ohh so…that adds up ☹️

#and also oh so that’s why they didn’t give a why…they were planning to reveal the why now :( #byler #stranger things #will byers #el hopper #el #st #st2 #st4 #stranger writers #eleven #eleven hopper #jane hopper #el byers #st writers #byler tumblr

DUFFER BROTHERS PAY HOMAGE TO THE FIRST GAY KISS IN FILM WITH BYLER IN S5 CHALLENGE

#stranger things #byler #duffer brothers #st writers #st5 predictions #movie inspo #I don’t want a direct parallel or anything #I’ll take the smallest most minuscule parallel and the film nerd in me will die happy #also I haven’t watched the movie so I don’t really know what it’s about #however one random fact I did find reading up on it #is that the scenes in the day have yellow/sepia coloring #while the scenes at night have dark blue/black coloring #which is cool… #also low key the one kissing the other literally looks like Will/Noah #the resemblance in this shot is actually terrifying

[will80sbyers]

WHAT DOES THIS EVEN MEAN

If the 5th season takes a really long time to come out and Ronance isn't canon, blame the Duffer Brothers for rejecting the first script the writers made because I'm like 93% sure the st writers ship Ronance.
