brat summer is OVER

time for DEAD POETS SOCIETY AUTUMN

He thought he was a mistake… his own dad called him slurs… he survived in the upside down by himself… kids bullied him at school… he was in love with his best friend… castle byers was his only safe place… he still didn’t know his life could turn even worse… and yet there’s people that want him to die in s5

[meiczyslaw-mccall]

my biggest personal byler proof is just how much they remind me of my first queer relationship before we started dating

queer characters are incredibly easy to fuck over, even without intention. often spelled out or intensely sexualised to prevent misunderstandings for a mostly heterosexual audience, queer storylines are exaggerated and thus become unrealistic.

stranger things doesn’t do that with its queer characters. take robin:

this scene is done beautifully. genuinely beautifully.

robin admits her feelings for tammy and how she locked them away, not just because tammy didn’t like her back, but because she is a queer girl in the 80s. her feelings are unnatural and unwelcome in hawkins.

steve’s acceptance of robin in this scene makes people forget how horrifically this could have ended:

As for Mike and Will

you don’t write a perfect representation of mutual teenage queer pining between childhood friends by accident.

queer pining is quiet and suppressed (especially for young people and ESPECIALLY in the 80s). It is unhealthy to suppress these feelings the way queer people tend to, it’s beyond the typical “secret crushes” straight people experience. queer pining can destroy people when they’re not supported.

through robins character, and wills arc in season four, we can see clearly the duffer brothers understand the nature of queer love, and wish to do it justice.

will ending up with some random last minute jock is unrealistic and does not do his character justice.

mike staying in an insecure relationship, constantly worried his girlfriend will grow out of him and leave him, rather than accepting will’s unconditional love for him, accepting his own love for will and letting himself be who he is, does not do his character justice.

even so, if they tried to set up byler in a way that would come across clear to the GA, it would, by default, become unrealistic and unrepresentative.

neither are yet able to admit to close friends and family they are queer, but they are supposed to convey that part of themselves to an (understandably) dense/heteronormative mainstream audience?

queer teenage love is not the same as straight teenage love, it doesn’t shock me that the majority of the audience isn’t able to pick up on byler beyond wills feelings, and they’re not supposed to.

we all say what we see, they don’t see the queer love brewing because they’ve never experienced it, they’ve never been mike and they’ve never been will. they’ve been max and lucas and nancy, steve, jonathan, etc etc

doesn’t make their heteronormative perspective accurate, they are just straight. they understand will and mike the same they do lucas and dustin. mike says they are friends, they have no reason to think otherwise. they do not know what queer love actually looks like, the duffer brothers do. the actors do. we do.

you are not delusional. you are queer.

if byler was widely agreed upon at this point in the story, it would not be an accurate representation of queer romance. that is the point.

my moneys on the latter and they better get every award for it.

Aubrey plaza the that woman you are.

lesbian witches on my tv 🤭🤭🤭

no one:

me as soon as it's September 1st:

[meiczyslaw-mccall]

I am... genuinely surprised that Agatha All Along isn't trending hardcore on Tumblr. It's about sapphic witches?? Aubrey Plaza??? Katherine Hahn in all her glory???

[meiczyslaw-mccall]

i don’t think i have ever gay panicked harder than when i watched aubrey plaza lick blood of kathryn hahn’s hand while looking her dead in the eye

[meiczyslaw-mccall]

if i didnt know who these characters were i’d say its a french indie gay romantic drama that is playing a little too heavily with color symbolism

[meiczyslaw-mccall]

[meiczyslaw-mccall]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa women

[meiczyslaw-mccall]

So true

time for bed !

[meiczyslaw-mccall]

can we just take a moment to appreciate how amazing charlie is as a boyfriend

idk why it's not discussed enough

reasons why charlie is the best boyfriend ever :

how he always made sure nick didn't feel pressured or obligated to come out

how he asked nick if he was feeling okay before coming out to anyone

he told nick that it was okay to find coming out difficult

how he was there for nick when he was stressed about his GCSEs

how he took it upon himself to tutor nick (ioNick coMPounDs)

how he stood up to harry

"i would fight anyone who's mean to you"

he was unbelievably patient for nick to figure out coming out to his friends and family to the point that he neglected his own well being to make sure nick felt protected and got everything perfect for him

"lets take the coach, you can rant about him the whole way there"

he made sure he was a safe place for nick to fall into

he made sure nick consented before being intimate with him

the way he made sure nick knew that he didn't have to have sex with him ever

he was the only person nick could show all his emotions to. the negative and the positive.

how he hugged nick after nick came out to his dad

All in all charlie is the most supportive, patient, soft, loving, wonderful, caring and UNDERAPPRECIATED boyfriend of all time

✨️👑 HAPPY BIRTHDAY FREDDIE MERCURY 👑✨️

And so here it is, the last artwork for Queen's birthdays, with the Queen himself! 🥰🥰🥰 I had a lot of fun drawing this, even if choosing just a few of his iconic costumes and outfits was super difficult 😅💕💕💕 In the middle, for the "most recent" Freddie, I chose to draw him in the beautiful Cat Vest from These Are The Days of Our Lives, hoping to portray all of Freddie's love and bravery, his beautiful smile while he declares his love for us 🥺💖💕💜💖💕💜

As for the colors I used the two colors I associate with him, royal purple and golden yellow, which was quite hard to use for the shadows but I'm super happy of the result and I really hope you like it too! 🙏🏻💕👑
