I need you guys to be so honest with me right now. Has my writing gone downhill the past few months? Because I feel like I’ve burnt myself out to the point that I’ve lost my creative voice. I think my academic writing has gotten a lot better, but I’ve been so focused on school lately that I feel like my fics read like essays. Is it boring? Do I need to write less strictly?

On the flip side of this, I had a best friend when I was thirteen, but we fell out of touch when we went to different high schools. I also had a major crush on her.

I never contacted her, and she never contacted me. Why? Because I wanted her to reach out first. I felt like I was being too clingy because of my feelings. And because of this, she assumed I didn’t want to talk to her anymore, because this behavior was really out of character for me.

When we hung out for the first time that fall, the reunion was awkward. I was freaking out and acting really nervous because I still had feelings for her. It was obvious that she knew I was being weird, but neither of us talked about it. THIS is how I know the airport scene was gay. I was pulling a total Mike Wheeler

Whenever I think about the airport scene and how people try to argue that Mikes acting awkward because him and Will haven’t spoken in a while I just think of how silly that is. It makes me think of my own long distance best friend. I’ve known her since 1st grade and moved away after highschool. Yes we keep in touch more but that’s literally because it’s easier now than it was in the 80s. There has been a time when it’s been a full year since we’ve seen each other. You know what we didn’t do when we saw each other again? Act all awkward and awkwardly hug. It felt like no time passed because we’re BEST FRIENDS. If Mike and Will are supposed to just be best friends why is it any different. I think we know why and people who try to argue different just don’t wanna admit how weird Mike was acting at the airport. I mean come on. Will was acting normal and only started acting weird after Mike did.

Unpopular opinion but I LOVE the S4 El plot line. Vecna’s backstory was >>>>

[gaysforbyler]

I feel icky gross

I think I have mommy issues. I don’t know which is more shocking— the fact that I’ve only just realized this now, or that I have them at all

Regarding your last past, did you find one of the accounts that everyone has blocked?

There’s like 3 accounts in the byler tag that everyone blocked bc they were being weird/sexual about stuff (pretty sure 2 were alts)

Just checking to see if you may not have them blocked and are being subjected to their weirdness!

Honestly probably, I haven’t blocked anyone on here before. It was just weird because I had never seen that before yesterday, and all of a sudden it was like my entire timeline

I didn’t block them yet just in case they might see my post and realize they should change their tags. I was giving them the benefit of the doubt, but if this has been an ongoing issue then I guess they do know better 🤷‍♀️

How did I miss this drama, where was I??

People are being Weird on the byler tag. No warning or anything, fucking jump scare

It’s crazy how a show all about the experiences and problems with living in a small town in the midwest has suddenly expanded to russia and california. It used to feel like we were wrapped up in a blanket in a tiny little corner of the world. Don’t make we aware of bigger places

Chat we are locked in

DAMMIT I thought the byler panel was on the fourth for a minute, and with time zones it would have been on my birthday :( I wanted a late night birthday present

Definitely. Straight people call us delusional because they simply cannot fathom why Mike would date El if he was gay. They have never felt the pressure of society in the way we have, and they assume that if you like men, you would inherently know that. They don’t understand comp het, or even just being wrong.

And this is why I feel like it’s homophobic to be so anti-Byler. Rather than listening to queer people when we say “no, this is actually a valid and common experience,” they brush us off. Because obviously queer people don’t understand their own experiences. That would be crazy

dare I say i think the main reason why a lot people are ANTI BYLER is because they are just STRAIGHT which means they can not conceptualize the concept of interalized homophobia.

I want all the popular ga characters to die this season, sorry not sorry

[gaysforbyler]

I should drop out

[gaysforbyler]

I had a dream where I was hanging out with a moot and they posted a picture of me and tagged me in it and I was freaking out because they revealed my super secret identity

[gaysforbyler]

Why does ao3 keep coming up with that “you loaded too many pages” screen? It’s never done that for me before

Mason fic Mason fic Mason fic. I love my son

It’s been way too long since my last wip. This is my first draft and I wrote it on a whim last night, don’t judge it too hard

I find it interesting how right before the rain fight, Lucas suggests calling the girls to apologize, and Mike’s response is, “We can do that?”

Meanwhile, the second Will stars getting mad, Mike tells Lucas, “No, we want to keep playing, right?”

Mike always feels the need to check if things are “allowed” when he’s with El. He lied to her because Hopper made him. He complains to Lucas that Hopper isn’t allowing them to see each other. He goes to the mall to buy El a present, because Lucas told him to. He listens to the straight men around him and follows their rules.

With Will, he doesn’t think. He does what comes naturally to him without any regard for societal norms. He doesn’t ask Lucas if he can run off to apologize to Will. He doesn’t need permission to hang out with him.

(Also, in s1, Mike only started liking El because Lucas said he did. Lucas and Hopper and his dad also told him not to go looking for Will, and what did he do? He went against social pressure)
