#also abt bi mike

[ineffablelvrs]

btw if u see me rb posts that seem to be two different opinions. i have a reasoning for all of them and i can share it with yall just not in the tags of the post i rb bc i dont really like doing it lmao

[booksandpaperss]

friendly reminder that theories aren’t canon until proven canon and while they are fun and interesting and I like reading them there’s no reason to act like everyone else is stupid for not interpreting evidence the exact way you have ❤️

Vent post y'all are gonna hate me for.

I viscerally hate how the Duffers treat most of their non white or queer characters and I hate even more viscerally, how y'all big byler blogs in your circle jerk of other 5 big byler blogs casually like to ignore many red flags the show has.

Y'all like to say: "tHe DufFeRs ArE gReAt WrIteRs" and it's like girl, who are you lying to??? They aren't top shit writers at all. The Duffers are pretty mid imo. Yeah, they run a good show that's fun to watch and theorize abt , but that doesn't mean they're good writers cuz they're not.

1. they completely side lined Will during s3 for the sake of their straight romances: lumax, jancy, mlvn, duzie and partly stobin (even if stobin wasn't endgame, thankfully, Steve's intentions were clearly wanting to date Robin and they gave it a lot of screen time). Will was sidelined bc he didn't fit the straight romance plotline bc they planned to make him gay or whatever. Now in s4 Will and his feelings have been used as mlvn toilet paper. Yes, we like to say this is build up for byler but canonically, Will's feelings have been used to clean the shit mlvn leaves behind.

2. Billy was sympathized a lot during the last 2 seasons. They gave him the sad backstoryTM in order for ppl to feel sorry for him. Billy's backstory is literally Jonathan's but whatever.

3. El's anger issues are constantly girlboss-ified. They down play her bullying situation and literally just use it for El to be a ''girlboss" without realizing how triggering that is. As someone who has lived bullying, seeing it be ignored by canon and fanon is super sad. The whole Rink-O' Mania experience must have been so traumatizing for her yet, everyone absolutely forgets abt it 🤷🏻‍♀️

4. Robin, Erica and Argyle are stereotypical characters. Robin is the quirky lesbian with social anxiety, Erica is the badass black woman and Argyle is the Latino stoner that sells weed to white kids and works as a pizza delivery guy.

5. Altho Argyle and Eddie both do drugs, (Eddie actually sells K-12 to a minor and nobody batted an eye. He has a huge fan base). Eddie is held in a pedestal bc "poor thing 🥺 he lives in a trailer with his uncle 🥺". Tell me a single fact you know abt Argyle that isn't "he smokes weed", "he is Jonathan's only friend", "drives a van" and "he works at a pizzeria". Exactly, Eddie is given a useless backstory and Argyle isn't.

6. Dustin stopped being important to the plot sometime around s2 and s3. He is only there to curse and be mildly funny. My guy needs to hangout with ppl his age cuz he only hangs out with seniors.

7. El needs to stop having so much "I'M THAT BITCH" screentime like I need in s5 for El's arc to not just be her becoming more powerful and falling in love with Mike. I need the Duffers to explore her trauma and problems.

8. Angela should have been run over by the van.

9. Patrick should have been given a backstory that isn't the basic "strict black parents that hit their kids cuz they are a disgrace". Patrick's backstory is actually racist af, fight w the wall.

10. As Lex already said, they didn't trigger tag the ep where Jason and his friends assault Lucas and Erica. Like wtf? Why was that necessary? Why did I have to see a black boy being held at gunpoint by some white guy?? Was it relevant to the plot?? I don't think so. And then I've got to see ppl online be like "Jason wasn't that bad. He was just mourning" like bitch you can stfu. This is what happens when you make the racist assholes conventionally attractive.

Also the fact that Lucas's arc is fulfilled by him fist-fighting Jason and "embracing his weirdness" aka accepting he is black. His arc was not fulfilled at all cuz that ending spoke so loud to me. It showed how little empathy ppl have towards the struggles poc ppl living in the Midwest have. Y'all circle jerks can only see racism when it's super obvious.

Furthermore, parents complained when ST showed "an excessive amount of smoking" yet nobody batted an eye when Billy tried to run over Lucas, when Erica (an 11 y.o ffs) was chased by white kids or when Lucas was held at gunpoint by Jason.

All of this happened while they focused on Max's guilt and mourning that, yeah, are important but certainly not less important than racism!!!

11. In s3, they gave us that whole Nancy vs The Bigots arc that was honestly just triggering and useless. It didn't help Nancy's character at all, quite the opposite it put unnecessary angst.

12. Lonnie being presented as an abuser just for him to never be spoken of again. Can we please get to explore the trauma he left the Byers's with?

13. The fact that both queer relationships are considered "sloppy seconds" is extremely sad. Both Vickie and Mike are rebounding from their failed relationship with Robin and Will. These 2 ships have caused more commotion than Jancy and Jopper together! (These last ships are technically sloppy seconds too but everybody forgets that. Shocker!!)

14. Last but not least, ppl blame Argyle for being the one to get Jonathan into smoking weed as if Jonathan probably wasn't the one looking for it. Let me tell you, that you only find weed if you look for it.

[lucystark12]

Read your post on your opinions on Byler and why you think it’s a genius love story. I’m curious though you mentioned Mike being gay, rather than Bisexual. I’ve been in the fandom since s1 and never actually thought abt it that way, what’s some evidence that made you see gay Mike instead of bi Mike?? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

up until i got on tumblr a few weeks ago (very new to this business haha) i didn't really have super strong opinions on his sexuality either way. i was kinda just like, okay, mike is queer in some sense of the word, but the more i've read theories and thought about it, i feel it's almost more powerful if he's explicitly gay. this is in no way biphobia- i'm bi- and i don't at all believe that him being bi would discredit the importance of his character being queer in the grand scheme of queer representation, but i do feel like having a character who actively grapples with feelings of inadequacy out of insecurity based in not being able to love his girlfriend the way he thinks he's supposed to and deep seeded disgust and internalized homophobia with himself and his own faults especially when there's just SO MUCH beautiful and real love between straight couples around him- think lumax and jancy- is really intelligent and insightful writing. as far as evidence goes, i think there really is a lot of importance in him not being able to tell el he loves her. yes, you could say that it's just because he flat out doesn't love her, but you could also say that he knows that he doesn't and could never love her in the way he thinks he should should, in the way she deserves. that's why will's real and genuine love confession through the eyes of el makes him think "okay, maybe this could work. she loves me in the way she's supposed to, maybe it's possible". the reason will's words are so fueling for him is because they serve as proof and validation that he isn't doing anything he deems wrong and that there is the same level of beauty and intimacy in their relationship that there is in lumax or jopper or jancy. this leads in to my painting theory and how i think learning the truth about the painting will ultimately be the thing that makes mike face his internal conflicts head on because he will realize that he doesn't and can never have this perfect heterosexual relationship because he isn't heterosexual.

wow i just went on a crazy rant there hello

also- lucas's season one line about mike only liking el because she's the first girl to look at him or something like that is a good one too

[will80sbyers]

Honestly the perception of mike in this fandom worries me because so many people think he has realized his sexuality and feelingd for Will in s3 already and he isnt and cannot be oblivious at all and he understood will at the van scene and he lied to el in his monologue etc and i just think those dont exist in canon? But the way ppl talk abt it all worries me bc it sounds like they will hate it when mike is revealed and potrayed to be someone they dont like. This also how some ppl are so stubborn of him having explicit internalized homophobia and being revealed as explicitly gay and they just dont even think of other options and narrative choices on the show too.... idk i just think it is pretty worrying that so many ppl think that way bc we already have other parts of the fandom who will dislike mike and byler once it happens but also so many bylers who are so closed off to other ideas in the fandom when it comes to the canon narrative of the show.

I agree with you on how you see the show and Mike's story and it is kinda worrying when people are super closed off to different options, but in the end we can't do anything about it and I don't even know if I'm right with my interpretation so I can just say what I believe and let others think what they want and wait for season 5 to confirm or deny my hypothesis!

I just hope if Mike ends up being bi or queer in general people just accept it and welcome it positively like I would do with Mike being revealed as gay and don't try to tear it down only because it's not what they were expecting or not what they theorized about

In the end for all we know now Mike could even end up being straight (although I think there's a very small probability for that) and just dying tragically or stuff like that and that would be the real thing to hate

[mountainashes]

Ok so I'm just gonna do 1 final hc post abt the rest of the characters. Bc yea

Matthew Taylor

He likes sports but he does actually try to engage with his friend's hobbies- e.g going shopping with Em and Jess, and he's definitely sat and listened to Mike rant abt politics or sth before. Hannah's bugs made him get over any fear he had of insects.

He's very patient and friendly but when he gets mad he gets MAD. (we see that in game anyway tho tbh).

Ashley often helps him with homework.

He has ADHD.

He has a younger sister.

He has pet guinea pigs that he loves and Jess always jokes she only hangs out with him for them.

He's pansexual.

He's had a tiny little crush on Josh before.

He was decent friends with Mike before everything.

Even after him and Em break up he stays as a close friend of hers.

He's a bit of a pushover.

Michael Munroe (I'll be as nice to him as I can).

After UD he develops a fascination with wolves.

He's not actually as well-off as some of the other kids in the group, and he's sort of insecure about it which led to him putting up his whole confident guy charade which evolved into him being a massive dickhead.

His mother passed away when he was young and his Dad is an asshole. He spends most of his time out of his own house and his own bedroom is quite empty.

He scares quite easily and when he's alone he often ends up talking to himself just so there's a distraction.

When he's alone his whole persona comes crashing down. Part of why he fears isolation.

He has ADD, and he also has narcisstic traits.

He's also autistic but thats more me and my friend projecting when we write him lol.

He's pretty smart in the subjects he likes but he lacks common sense and does lots of dumb things.

He lived in Florida until he was 14.

He's demiromantic bisexual.

He needs to feel useful or he gets quite upset. This often ends up with him taking on the sort of 'leader' role in the group.

He tends to clash with Josh a lot, and Beth.

Christopher Hartley

He's not a massive fan of animals. He's either scared of them or complains about them being dirty/diseased.

He's trans.

He isn't into doing sports but he is surprisingly strong.

He's autistic.

He knows basically everything about technology and fuck all about anything else.

He did not pay attention in most of his subjects and then would end up going to Ashley for help and she'd scold him.

When he was young and first met Josh's sisters he was just. Amazed by the fact Hannah was allowed to be a girl.

He had a short-lived crush on Hannah as a kid. And it was mostly envy.

When he was a kid he had long hair, which he complained about until he got a 'compromise' with sort of medium hair length. When he was 15 he chopped it all off himself and has had it short ever since. (he was also in so much trouble).

He has quiet bpd. (this is sort of projection ignore me pls. I have my reasons I am not going to explain them here).

He's biromantic demisexual.

He's pretty much always had a massive crush on Josh that he barely realised.

He's generally just kind of a disaster bi.

He's very quick to get defensive and upset.

He tends to go way too far with pranks and the only people who can ever really reel him back in are Josh and Ashley.

[3m0n3rd]

Atuff abt my turtlez that I wrote on a discord sever once but changed sum stuff

Tw for rap3 and abus3

okay so Lee/Leo goes by she/him- shes REALLY masculine physically but like he wants to dress up and act pretty a lot of the time. Leo is (and I'm debating this) bisexual or saphic! Lee has Anorexia and PTSD. She really tries to be an older sibling like RISE! Lee tries be there and present, trying to make his siblings forget about their childhood so that everyone is just happy! which doesn't really work... But again he is just trying her best. -- Lee's love life is wonky, before Usagi came, he was in LOVE with karai and soon started dating her. But when Usagi came, Leo started to feel some stuff but not strong enough for him to leave Karai. So he's always felt shitty about hurting yuichi because he's a dear friend to her. I feel like his VA would be like Pearl from steven universe or something like that.

donnie is like the one who I heavily based off of my but still gave them their own personality uh they/them (and sometimes He/him) Bro is t4t and bisexual and nonbinary. So Don boy is rlly emo.. But like most of the other four, they don't really dress up since no one is there to see them. BUT many ppl don't know this abt donnie but the spike choker he wears, they only wear it around Arrow, if they wear their googles that means their in their lab. But if they aren't wearing those accessories their just hanging with their bros. Donnie has AFRID, OCD, and schizophrenia. Which this causes a lot of difficulties in his life. Arrow in his mind Is their savior, basically their nothing without them. So Donnie tries to change everything about them to make Arrow like them more. ex. He says their fave artist is ICP, Arrow's fave duo. But in truth his fave band is MCR. I think Don's VA would be 2012 Donnie in some sorts of dib from Invader zim.

Mikey is so kawai-chan from aphmau, yes call me cringe idc. any but mostly he/him. Mike in the earlier seasons would be straight, until he realizes he's asexual!! But other then that, HES SCENE!!!! but again like everyone else he doesn't rlly dress up. Unless he wants to. Mikey loves april! their like BFF's for life! Fun silly fact, Mike was originally was suppose to HATE April, but later I got into the 'moon and sun' duo more. Oh mike has adhd, autism and dyslexia. Mikey is really the glue to their family much like in RISE!. So he tries to keep everyone happy like Lee. Mikey has never really told ANYONE this but while splinter never hurt Mike when he was younger, he treated him as the favorite child because occasionally he would ||Rape him.|| Which didn't effect Mike that much because he just blocked it out of his memeory. Mike's VA would DEFFINATLY be something like honey senpai dub from Ouran High school host club or like Beast Boy from Teen Titans Go!

I hate raph/hj. I really just don't know how to feel abt him because he reminds me of me a the most, in the worst ways too. okay he/him and ally! but later become poly and bi with Casey and Mona Lisa. (this was because I REALLY couldn't decide who he should end up with lol) Raph is basically a dick half the time and not in the way people like. He's easily irritated, makes fun of others for no reason, and will just hurt someone cuz he wants to. But deep down he tries his best, he just hates that everyone can act okay with what happened while they were kids. - Raph has PTSD, anger issues and autism - Lee was the one who got hurt most of the time, Raph was the one who was hurt the worst once. Splinter straight up put BOILING water on him because he wouldn't stop picking on Mkey. (this also leads to Raph being very distant from Mikey) So a way to relieve his PTSD is to just either hit shit really hard or just sleep with the million stuffed animals around him. Idk wut his VA would be, maybe Damon Salvatore from the vampire diaries or smth like that

[aemiron-main]

hey dude why dont u just stop shitting on bi mike truthers and in return bi mike truthers will stop shitting on gay mike truthers and we can all just be fucking happy w out u starting shit

i get ur pissed but making posts abt is just making it worse arent u an adult how cant u see that

ppl like u r the reason the byler fandom is like ... weird now

hey anon how about it’s my damn blog and I’ll do whatever the hell i want. Go back to twitter if you want to whine about what other people post and try to monitor their posts.

I am an adult. I’m also having fun posting my opinion on my blog. I don’t care if it’s making things “worse” if making posts about analysis & criticizing analysis techniques is making things worse then i guess im here to fuck shit up 🫡🫡🫡🫡

bro people like me are the reason the byler fandom is less weird now. people like me are the reason we can have discussions about mike & eating disorders/other content that’s In The Show that byler tumblr previously deemed Morally Reprehensible And Must Be Swept Under The Rug. If people like james and stav and i just shied away from discourse, byler tumblr would still be having a fit over the word “hose” even being whispered.

Anyway! Nobody has to follow me, i don’t care at all about any notions of “keeping the peace on byler tumblr” because i am one guy with a blog who is doing whatever the hell he wants on said blog. Take your entitlement elsewhere, nobody’s obligated to cease their own posting because you think it makes byler tumblr “weird”. I’m here to make things weird! Block me if you don’t like it!

[qulizalfos]

5‼️ 18‼️ 19‼️ I LOVE YOU LIZA‼️

hgkhjdkhjdshjkdkfhs I LOVE YOU WAYLII!!!!!!!!! thank u for the ask <33

5!! - quote one of your fics out of context

Mike blurts: “Yeah, I’ve always wanted to be hunted for sport.” Will blinks, before dissolving into laughter, eyes creased, shoulders shaking. He looks back at Mike, gaze warm. Steady. Mike’s breath catches in his throat. Stupid . “Well?” Will asks. “Just like you imagined?” There’s noise in the distance. A bat screaming. The neon lights, vivid in the edge of his field of vision, fizzle out again. Half of Will’s face is shrouded in shadow. Mike doesn’t even know if it’s Thursday or Friday, and he also can’t decide if it would be worse to die on a Thursday or a Friday. “More or less.”

(from and if i could give you the moon !! i kind of like this exchange even though there's a lot i'd change Now but i think it works as an out of context snippet hehe)

18!! - what trope have you not written yet, but want to?

ohhh well as u know i have an. evil fic in the works😈 which i haven't gotten to the core of yet (but i'm excited to!!!!) but also i reallyyy want to do a silly summer fluff fic or something with gratuitous party shenanigans so i'm letting it rotate in my head until it gathers enough coherence to be drafted (which may take a while jkjdskjkhfjksd) but also for a while now i've wanted to write a ceilings (lizzy mcalpine) au because i think i could be very mean abt it

19!! - what headcanon do you always include in your stories?

ohh my god i always forget bi max is not canon. well it is To Me and you guys get it fr<3333

[for this ask game!]

[muffinmonsterzs]

im still so confused about spy school canon and so therefore we shall fuse everything ever said to create fanon canon fix-its

for context a fanon canon fix-it is what you do to fix authors mistakes when there’s like 3938387373737373 plotholes and recalls and last minute adds

fanon canon timeline additives (aka fancy word for headcannons that should be canon):

trixie and mike are the most annoying couple ever ONGGG (don’t get me wrong I love them but they would piss off everyone else SO bad)

warren is an incel loser because we hate warren he’s the octavian of the spy school fandom

chip is a country boy yes i will stick with this headcannon until the day i die fight me

all of these stupid kids are neurodivergent prove me wrong you can’t

zoe is a lesbian i will NOT take no for an answer

fanon canon timeline fix-its:

zoe and svetlana aren’t dating until like a month after ssgn ends because there’s definitely mutual feelings but they’re not gonna rush into a relationship THAT fast

murray is actually bi and likes both zoe and ben because honestly it makes way more sense he secretly has a crush on them both tbh his type is probably powerful short women and ugly loser men fr

zoe was actually being heavily manipulated by nora taco which is why her character was fucking destroyed in ssr

they’ve all killed atleast one person let’s be honest erica literally shoved a few enemy agents into like fucking ACID once i think??????

ben is an unreliable fucking narrator, except when it comes to his looks sort of because its heavily implied that he’s only average looking but his self esteem is like nonexistent so he describes himself like 10x worse than how he actually looks

okay now for fanon canon description fix-its!!!!!

most of these are just head cannons that i cannot see not being canon

zoe has heterochromia (since she’s described with both brown AND green eyes)

none of them have the ugly slick back hair they got in the graphic novels except ben because he is a mediocre rat I refuse to believe the handsome ben narrative he is 5’1 and has greasy hair and wears collared shirts

zoe is black trust me guys 🙏🙏🙏🙏

also zoe dyed some of her hair pink after ssr again my source is me being awesome and right

ashley had dyed hair and it was way longer DO NOT BELIEVE THE GRAPHIC NOVELS LIES

happy trails shirts are GREEN AND NOT YELLOW BECAUSE THE GRAPHIC NOVELS ARE LIARS SISJSJDJJDJDJ (idk why im mad abt this)

erica has mid length hair guys 🙏🙏🙏🙏

murray actually does have a mullet trust

uhh that’s it add ur own if you want ig

[foxy--stoat]

more of my tyo headcanons be upon ye !!!

(ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*.✧ on todays episode: Rick Pratt !!

Rick is 100% autistic in my brain. the way he's always trying to fit in with the rest of the mates (Neil, Vyv, Mike) and sometimes struggles with tone and even with social cues & facial expressions is just. autism.

i also hc Rick as queer !! bi + nonbinary and/or genderfluid !! especially since he starts dressing more kinda gender-neutral in the second season and canonically owns a secret dress !!

also Rick is aspec to me - somewhere on both the asexual spectrum & the aromantic spectrum. >:3

since Rick is autistic in my brain, he has a few special interests & hyperfixations !! his main hyperfixation is Cliff Richard (as seen throughout the series 😁) !! and his special interest is more than likely poetry !! i hc him as a secretly big Oscar Wilde fan 😁

Rick shows affection towards Vyv by teasing the shit out of Vyvyan. Vyvyan secretly loves it, as they're secretly platonic besties (◕ᴗ◕✿)

one of my favorite headcanons i have of Rick is that throughout the show, we see him become more open with his feminity & being more gender neutral !! as the series progresses, you can see him starting to dress more freely and grows his hair out a little so he has braids, and has the secret dress 🤭

Rick in my eyes is also probably ADHD tbh. like. he's always bouncing around, is always forgetful, i think he even flaps his arms/hands around in one (1) or two (2) scenes. he's probably AuDHD.

he also helps Vyvyan study for his medical school exams/tests when Mike & Neil aren't looking. >:3 he helps Vyvyan create flash cards with sharpies & drawings & match-the-definition-to-the-term type stuff and then helps him review everything.

more to come >:) (*´ω｀*)

yes he is soooo autistic so extremely autistic

and I LOVE THR STUFF ABT THE GENDER YOURE SO CORRECT!!! like u can totally tell he gets more chill and stuff

[jaegerisim]

Milevens be like:

Guess at who he is looking! You're right! He's looking at the love of his life Eleven Hopper! 🥹 You guessed it!!! They're my OTP you guys!! 😍They love each other so much and Mike love El bc he said it in the van scene!!! 🤭 They're so adorable and made for each other!!! I can't with them!!!😩 Will should just die and let them be happy we don't want his gay!!! 😡 Just shut up!! Mike loves El!! What a homewrecker!!! 🙄😒 They're literally goals!!! Like fr!! Who wants to be the Mike to my El?? 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 El saved Max thx to Mike!! Will is just annoying and ugh, like die already we hate you! Like he is so gay and useless to the plot!!! They only made him gay for inclusiveness!!! Just like Robin!! The Duffers shouldn't have made her a lesbian!! I ship romantic Stobin bc they were so cute together!! And I can hc her as straight/bi bc you Bylers hc Mike as gay/bi when he is clearly straight!! 😒 But I'm not homophobic or anything I respect gays just don't support what they want!!! 😅😅😅😅 Also I hate Lucas bc he shouted at El in S1!!! Ugh, he is also there for inclusiveness!! Also the Max and Lucas scene was boring and i skipped it! Idc or gaf abt Lumax! The whole plot should just be mileven!! fuck the ud!! I stan Billy and he wasn't racist he was just being a good older brother and protective of Max!!! I don't know why ppl call me racist or homophobic!! 😭😭😭😭 I literally ship Harringrove!!!

For ppl who might not get this, it's purely satire and sarcastic and made to make fun of melvin shippers.

[ladyseidr]

And another headcanon dump! TW for vaguely discussed self-harm.

by the time he's, like, 20, he's got multiple ear piercings and a septum piercing

in that same vein, planned on getting tattoos before getting scooped

only interested in the above because it's genuinely his style, not to like. get back at his dad or whatever. (like at most my william would slightly resent the fact that mike does whatever the fuck he wants with his appearance VS william forcing himself to stay so in line, if that makes sense. he's not old-fashioned regarding piercing/tattoos/etc)

bi, but has an extremely strong preference for men and masc-aligned ppl

complicated relationship with gender. like, he's fairly openly queer and interacts with other queer ppl, so he does explore gender presentation to an extent in those spaces, but hurricane isn't exactly... a queer hotspot (unless they're my portrayals in which case nobody is straight ever). still, he doesn't really hear abt IDing as nonbinary until long after the scooping. at that point, his identity as a whole is, er, complex and it's not really his priority. but he does recognize that he's nb at that point. tends to still default to using he/him pronouns and masc terminology, but comfortable with and occasionally uses they/them.

this is a headcanon i'm Tentative to post because i think ppl can be nervous because of my personal experiences, but fuck it: he absolutely struggles with self-harm. it starts in high school and honestly he never fully recovers normally. the scooping kind of, uh, gets in the way of it. he was already trying to get clean prior, but y'know. this should be a given, but he covers the wounds/scars and doesn't tell people. by default, nobody in his family knows about it.

to be clear about the above: i am comfortable exploring this topic so long as you don't try to get me to write him (or any muse) actively self-harming. i'm a grown adult, i know my limits and i'm more than capable of messaging ppl if i need things toned down. i'm also many, many years clean at this point. please don't baby me if you're interested in exploring this topic (and, on that note, i will never even allude to his self-harm unless you have explicitly told me it's okay).

def works at fred.dy's off-and-on prior to william's disappearance. fucking hates it, but also struggles to keep jobs elsewhere. prefers working at locations william isn't active at, but just keeps ending up alongside him regardless. can't escape each other and all that shit lmao

actually pretty damn intelligent but absolutely doesn't believe this abt himself

hates his father but also still loves him. yes, ever after everything. nothing about their relationship is or will ever be simple. regretfully remembers the "good times." wishes he didn't. (glad he does, because what else does he have?)

speaking specifically on my elise: loves her. resents her deeply. when he's younger, fully pegs her as a shitty mother. when older, gets it but still just can't completely forgive her. absolutely feels abandoned by her and tells her at one point in the midst of an argument

headcanon tag is a reference to this song because uh? "this is who i am / nobody said you had to like it / this is who i am / a modern tragedy / bury your mistakes / clear those bones from your closet / with wisdom there’s pain" ?????

there's literally so much more i could write but let's just fkjsdsda leave it here for now
