anyway. i love you will byers who is more sensitive than than the other boys his age. i love you will byers who receives a 120-count box of crayons for his eighth birthday and uses every color to draw a rainbow spaceship. i love you will byers who gives away a toy he knows his mother can’t replace because a girl is sad and crying and he thinks she should have it instead. i love you will byers who comes face to face with a creature directly out of his literal nightmares and speaks softly and refuses to hurt it. i love you will byers who is willing to sacrifice himself if that means his friends and family and the town that hates him is safe. i love you will byers who just wants to play dungeons & dragons and cling to the last pieces of childhood that were forcibly taken from him. i love you will byers who cries with his sister when she is sad and tells her they’ll fix it. i love you will byers who repackages his own love confession into the exact thing his best friend needs to hear. i love you will byers who is reunited with his sister and the first thing he does after holding her close is try to remove the collar from around her neck. i love you will byers who is not violent but would kill vecna in a heartbeat to protect the people he loves. i love you will byers.

you. you ever think about how castle byers was a symbol of will's childhood and innocence. a symbol of little will, with his doe eyes and no understanding of how the world works yet. little will who cried at the spurs thrown at him before he even knew what they meant.

then older will took an axe to a recently mended fence. he wrapped his hands around younger will's throat and said, "die". because he cant afford to think for himself anymore. if mike knows. people will start knowing. so he suffocates himself and kills his childhood, all in the hope that love may come easy when you stop breathing.

so buffy is very heavily bi-coded, and ‘slayer-ness’ is just as queercoded as vampires (like buffy gets her own coming out scene), i thought it would be interesting to see the dialogue if the ‘subtext’ became more ‘text’ so i replaced “slayer” with “bisexual” and…

instead of just asking “is byler endgame?” ask something like:

“why do you think mike dodged wills hug at the airport? will his strange (haha) behavior towards will be addressed in season 5?”

“how do you think queer fans will feel after watching the final season? do you think the queer characters arcs will be satisfying?”

“who does your character have the most heart to hearts/ meaningful conversations with this season?”

“do you think your character is heavily misunderstood by the general audience?”

“what are some songs you would use to describe your characters journey this season?”

“how would you describe your character’s relationship with conformity?”

“have you lied in interviews/panels in the past to prevent spoilers?”

“will the cliff scene be addressed? do the other characters, who weren’t there, know about it?”

“what do you think your character would be doing in 2025? would they still have the same connections with the other characters?”

“will we get more of mikes pov this season?”

“how do you relate to your character the most?”

“what do you think causes mike to repeat words/ sentences?”

“do you have a favorite parallel with your character in the show?”

be subtle guys. they aren’t gonna be able to answer questions like “who does your character end up with?” or “will they kiss on the mouth?” don’t waste your question !!

ANYWAY

The show told us Will is God sooo…

Same scene… same shirt… same spot on the screen.

The song was CUT so the line with God matched when Max glances at the Will lookalike girl.

Absolutely 100% intentional framing.

people who write fics. how do you feel about comments on super old ones you wrote like 2+ years ago

[henry-fox-biggest-stan]

Yeah sorry thinking about this again

My thoughts

One of max’s letters - no, it says November 6th, 1983, so no max

Lettergate - likely, not about a couple… at the moment.

However, what if it’s mileven

It makes sense with the “…not about a couple”. Since they are not endgame, and they met on November 7, 1983.

After all, the “love, x” is the crux of their s4 argument. I think when they break up (or before breaking up) Mike will write El a letter like “I think you’ll be happy to read this, sorry I couldn’t get it done before, when you wanted me to, but you mean so much to me and I didn’t feel genuine writing it, and you deserve the truth, and it’s been wonderful to fight along your side, hope this is enough to last until the end, love, Mike”. Or smth like that idk

I still think is byler because of the November 6, but yknow

Werewolf: *transforming* You have to go, now! I don’t want you to see me like this…

Human s/o: Don’t push me away! I’m not afraid of you!!

Werewolf: No no I’m just really dumb as a wolf and I don’t want you to see me bark at a mirror for two hours

Thinking about how the books introduce us to Narnia as this vibrant, beautiful land and then make us watch it die piece by piece. If you read in publication order you start with Narnia a place of wonder and magic even under the Witch's power and then the Pevensies save it and we get "the Golden Age" and Narnia is really something; if you read chronologically you start with Aslan making Narnia and everything so full of life and song that trees grow from everything that touches the earth and people laugh to be the butt of a joke because they (and everyone else) have never heard a joke before in the history of the world and jokes are fun! And then you read LWW and get to see what Narnia has grown into and get the Golden Age.

And then you read about a Narnia where people are in hiding and magic is a legend (even under Jadis, there was magic) and Cair Paravel is in ruins and lions and beavers are extinct. Cair Paravel can be rebuilt but lions and beavers can't be revived. The characters restore Narnia but it will never be quite what it was. It will never be another Golden Age.

We watch Caspian, boy hero of the last two books, die, grieving and broken and old before his time. Narnia is saved again and it's time for a coronation, just like in MN, LWW, and PC! Yay! Except this coronation will happen alongside a funeral. Underneath Narnia swims a dead kingdom and caves full of monsters waiting for the end of the world. Remember children, all things die.

The next time we open a book, we become the Pevensies, returning to Narnia to find centuries have passed and our magical home has become warlike and worn. Aslan has not been seen in ages; guard towers have been built around Narnia's borders for the many battles. Where are the clearings full of moonlight dances that Mr. Tumnus spoke about, back at the beginning? Tirian assures us Narnia is like that, in times of peace, only visitors from Earth tend to be brought over when Narnia is in trouble. We will not see it. Narnia was like that; good and beautiful and wonderful things did happen. Narnia is death. There will be no after the battle this time, no awakening land or Golden Age after cruelty is stopped. Cruelty and war have seeped into Narnia itself. Guard towers must be built: not a temporary war, but long term militarism. People turn on one another. Everyone dies. Narnia dies.

"I saw it begin," says Digory/the Professor. "I did not think I would live to see it die." Neither did we.

"I did hope that it might go on forever," says Jill. It could have. This is a story. Turns out it's a tragedy.

J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion: At the beginning of the world there were two trees, one silver and one gold, brought forth by the song of Yavanna, Valar of Earth, and the tears of Nienna, Valar of Mercy.

C.S. Lewis, The Magician's Nephew: At the beginning of the world there were two trees, one silver and one gold, because some coins fell out of a guy's pocket lol
