#but there was no reason to be scared ❤️

[will80sbyers]

Mileven is endgame, proof (let's see if you dare to respond):

1- Mike was scared of losing Eleven, that's why he made that face at the end of s3, he is so in love he cant even handle it!

2- Mike tried to help el when she got bullied and went looking for her, until you know who decided to make that moment about him. When El hit Angela, he was in shock, but the next day he tried to apologize empatizing with her and forgave he for lying inmediatly

I do think Mike likes Will, but he is in love with Eleven and that is a fact

Be honest are you a Byler pretending to be a mileven?

Because even for a mlvn there's no coherent train of thought here in any way so I hope it's someone saying random shit lol it's actually a trainwreck of "logic" from start to finish to the point that it's funny

Baby, if Mike "likes Will" then byler is endgame 100% because writers don't write bisexual characters or make a character like another if they don't intend to do anything with it, if you think in any capacity that Mike is bisexual then mileven is done lol

1) You're right, Mike is scared of losing El from his life, that's why he's still clinging to her even if the relationship is not good for them anymore... and I don't think he has realized his feelings for Will consciously yet, he's still trying to repress them, in the season 3 finale the reason he makes that face after the kiss is because he's shocked and they wanted to replicate the kiss in the IT saga between Bill and Beverly, note that they have also made a OBVIOUS parallel between byler and benverly...which will both be endgame 🌈❤️🤗

If you were talking about this shot right here

this is because he also has feelings for Will and it's directly connected to Will because that's his house and we had another shot before of Mike looking at the cars go away so they didn't need to repeat a shot of Mike like that, it wouldn't make sense if it was for Eleven, it's pretty obvious Byler is being constructed and mileven is being destroyed and it's been a few seasons of this...

They even made him find her choice of breakfast weird for literally no reason at all except focusing on how much they aren't really that much compatible as a couple

+ not liking her milkshake, not liking skating, not liking the pizza with pineapple, dressing up in a completely different style only because he feels so insecure with her that he feels like he needs to pretend to be cooler than who he really is and being with her makes him feel like he has to be in the "boyfriend role" instead of being just Mike... like El feels like she had to lie for months about her whole life just because she felt like Mike wouldn't love her if she wasn't normal enough... They don't understand each other fundamentally anymore and it's okay, you grow and you change and relationships stop working sometimes!

2) At rink o mania MIKE is the one that starts their argument taking away the focus from finding Eleven... just because he's pissed that Will wasn't acting happy that he was there being a 3rd wheel for their date... And Will clocked that and asked him to explain himself lmfao

Mike doesn't know what true love is yet... exactly like Laurie from Little Women didn't know shit about true love and was idealizing Jo

Mike is doing the same to El because he's a 14yo kid... He'll understand as he grows up 😚

Template belongs to @chocolatemoontiger ✨✨

‼️The only art I made and belongs to me is Dr Astrix in the middle‼️ (And the background)

👋👋 I managed to squeeze agt. Strelnikov in there with the others because I felt bad for leaving him off in the corner by himself 😭

My Astrix design will probably change in the future. Not by a lot, but it will.

Explaining all the relationships under cut ❤️(It's long, and I'm not the best at explaining them 😨) (Unrelated, do you think I over use emojis?)

Starting at Dr. Light and ending at agt. Lament

Dr. Light - Astrix doesn't know Light too well, but because Light has more authority over Astrix so she naturally respects her.

Agt. Diogenes - Doesn't know them, has heard of them, never seen them in person.

Agt. Strelnikov - Has seen him hanging around Clef and by proxy is scared of him, but respects him for it too. (Also because he's an agent, she can respect that)

Dr. Glass - Is friends with him because he's (basically) friends with everyone else. Astrix is wary of him, however. He's a phycologist of the foundation. He gets paid to tell the higher ups how broken someone is, how their mind works, permanently write all it down in their files, and how they might be better off amnestied. She likes Glass, but can not for the life of her trust him. She always wonders if he picks up on her little subconscious habits. Not a fan of the idea.

Dr. Z. Kiryu - She considers herself a friend of Kiryu, but they honestly haven't talked a lot. Astrix likes her and takes interest to the butterflies. If she could talk to her more, she probably would. Astrix has gone out of her way to be nice before, and would again.

Dr. Kondraki - Old guy who just wants to be left alone with his camera. Has talked to him multiple times before, thinks he's cool, doesn't really go out of her way to talk to him. Like the butterflies, is interested with them but thinks playing 20 questions with Kondraki just to learn more about them would be stupid. And awkward. Just read the file, Astrix.

Dr. A. Clef - Ew. Ew, EW, EW. Astrix thinks he goes out of his way just to bother her. Unfortunately Astrix has mega trust issues and kinda judges people for things they've done in the past. Never forgets. Tries to brush Clef off sooo hard. Every time she has interacted with him she's left angry. Upset. Scared. Overwhelmed for the smallest of reasons. Most of the time he really doesn't do anything too bad, but Astrix still gets all riled up over it.

(Had to add a line break, still on Clef below)

Has broken a mug because of him before. Goes out of her way to avoid him and yet he still tracks her down and finds her no matter what. She blames it on their first interaction. She never believed in all that "first impressions matter" Bullcrap.. Well, not until now. In reality, Clef is intrigued by her and wants to figure out what makes her tick. Astrix has a thing of just. Not showing strong emotions and getting all blank faced when confronted with them and Clef perceives it as her not being scared of him. (wow, that's two whole paragraphs. Sorry readers.)

Agt. Kondraki(Draven) - Respects him because he's an agent. has heard of him, never seen him in person. Already thinks good of him because of Dr Kondraki.

Researcher J. Talloran - Same with Draven, heard of, never seen, doesn't really care. Thinks good of them.

Dr. Gerald - Astrix always has Band-Aids or bandages on her person, you never know when you'll need them. I mean- you'll never know when someone else around you needs them. I mean- you'll never know when Gerald needs them. Sorry, sorry- you know that Gerald needs them. By god, he could use some rainbow pastel Band-Aids. Has interacted with him before on multiple occasions, but doesn't go out of her way to talk to him. Tries to be nice.

SCP-963 - Doesn't care for them unless it's about her. Then she cares way to much. Tries to avoid them though not as much as she does to Clef.

Dr. Kain Pathos Crow - Doggy! Astrix is actually quite scared of dogs. Too loud, too unpredictable. Still a smidge nervous about him, but Kain has grown on her. She admires how smart he is and how he can persevere even while- ya know. Being a dog.

(Tw: mentions of cannibalism) Dr. Chimmerian - Considers herself a friend of his, likes to challenge his morals, talks to him about ethics and how far is too far.. It's a little creepy, honestly. Stuff like: "If someone wrote their dead body into their will and gave it to you and you ate it would that be wrong? What if they wanted you to do that, too?". Astrix, some thoughts are better left in your head.

Dr. Rights - Same as Light except they have met her before and Astrix respects them for their authority.

Dr. Mann - 🤷(Shrug) He's a bit weird a creepy, but who's Astrix to judge? Just don't talk to him if you don't like it.

Dr. Trebuchet - Tries so, SO hard not to make dumbass comments about their height. (Not really.) On good terms with her, but they don't interact enough to be consisted friends in Astrix's eyes.

Dr. King - Haha. Apple seeds guy. On good terms with him, but they don't interact enough to be consisted friends in Astrix's eyes.

Dr. Gears - Astrix, again, considers herself a friend of Gears. Goes out of her way to do meaningless little things for him because he never reacts badly to them. He never really reacts at all. But that small "Oh, thank you." from him seems to be worth it every time. Astrix of course is warry of him too. She knows how he prioritises the foundation over his relations. So she tries not to over share to him.

Visits him at least once every week and makes sure to ask him something. Weather it be meaningless little things like: "How'd your day go?" to: "Did you ever think in your life that this is how it would turn out?". She finds comfort in his cold emotionless exterior, and shares tidbits of things about herself that aren't really important. Things like her experience with therianthropy(which despite his first belief is not an anomalous thing.. Right?) and how she feels about certain people.

Dr. Iceberg - Nu uh. No likey. Red pilled skibbity sigma incel vibes. And he's.. Surprisingly strong. Nope. Na-da. Not a fan of whatever he's got going on. Iceberg always seems to be angry and snippy so Astrix tries to avoid him.

Agt. Lament - "Who's that?" -Astrix. She has seen them before, but has since forgotten.

Sorry, some of them are quite long 😅

Anyway, I had fun making this! First post I mention Dr. Astrix(my oc!! / self insert thingy I guess). She's got big trust issues and way too many problems. Her original name got stolen by the fae✨✨❤️❤️✨

Will enjoy posting about her more. Anygays, that's all!!

[cravingpepsimax]

sorry for bothering but im beggin you to give us more of the castcest au it was amazing 🥺

i. rise ❤️

SO i started writing notes abt it — ofc, as expected, most of them were abt stan n ford WJAKSKSMS. so! here are my notes on the duo:

stan’s actor is harold “hal” forrester — it being one of stan’s pseudonyms was a reference! stan’s far from hal’s first role. hal’s an old actor. he could easily retire, but goddamn, he LOVES his job. he’s beloved, but he’s not really seen as a “serious” actor? think of an adam west/nic cage type. people love him, though.

hal’s got a big heart, but unlike stan, he ain’t scared of showing it. but that’s really where it ends — hal’s a lot more worried about how he’s perceived. being passionate and kind when you’re an actor is just good press. but when it comes to his personal life, or — god forbid — showing flaws? hal’s a lot more cagey.

ford’s actor is timothy forrester, neé grimm, who i named after cousin tim. timothy’s been acting for as long as his husband, though he hadn’t gotten as much success — in part due to his polydactyly. earlier on in his career, before special effects were that good, him being polydactyl was either the reason he got the role, or the reason he absolutely could not. timothy was an only child, meaning that — unlike ford — he didn’t really get much protection from his bullies.

as a result, timothy grew resigned to being seen as sort of a freak show. unlike ford, timothy was never that strong academically, so he didn’t have really anything going for him. he was determined, though — he LOVED acting, and, even if he’d never be a BIG one, it was still his passion.

that’s how he got hired to be a one-off villain for trick shot, a live action superhero show… whose main actor was hal.

and they hit it off! hal didn’t ignore timothy’s polydactyly — actually, their first interaction was him thinking they were special effects — but he didn’t treat him as a freak for it. in fact, hal liked timothy’s polydactyly, which was a first for timothy!

hal’s more extroverted than timothy, but timothy’s a lot less scared to speak his mind — even when he was just an extra! which, considering the amount of fake people in the acting biz, was something hal admired a LOT from the beginning. on the other hand, timothy greatly appreciated hal’s extroversion. though, he was a bit embarrassed when he realized how much hal was sticking up for him on set.

they liked talking to each other, and they became close! soon they were known in america as… really good friends. what? it’s, like, the 70s-80s. they couldn’t just come out of the closet.

though, eventually, they did — and timothy was the first to announce anything. that was a surprise to the public, but hal never expected anything different.

Here are some of my favorites I've watched (more like finally watched lmao) in 2024:

Self-explanatory 🤡🎀

I love Christmas horror! It's such a niche genre and I feel like a lot of horror fans don't want to give it a chance.

Black Christmas is a classic so it's a must watch. It's one of the oldest ones on my list which just proves that it really is holding up well after more than 50 years! There's no blood or gore (a lot of R rated language tho) so it's a plus if you like your horror without those. I really liked the atmosphere in this one, it's both very festive and anxiety inducing. Really liked the characterization too, most characters feel like real people. Also Olivia Hussey??? HELLO?? It's a must watch just because of this Queen alone ❤️. Silent Night Deadly Night again another classic! Before watching this one I read about it being almost banned because it was too gory, but to be honest it's not that bad people! It's actually kinda corny but still a very fun watch. Compared to Black Christmas this one is definitely more of a slasher Christmas film though so expect some low budget filmmaking. However, Robert Brian Wilson totally slayed (literally and figuratively) as Billy.

Christmas Evil is imo one of those "so bad it's good" films. It's my guilty pleasure Christmas slasher just because it's sooo audacious? The stuff that happens in this film is so insane the writers must've been on something 😭. The main protagonist, Harry, is a middle-aged toy-factory worker who wants to BE Santa Claus. He spies on the neighborhood kids and writes "naughty" and "nice" lists. At one point, Harry steals a ton of toys and just starts giving them out to kids on Christmas. The plot sounds so simple but the film is just so surreal, it feels like a fever dream. Honestly, it's the AUDACITY for me. This plot is SUPER corny but idk it just works and the film is unintentionally hilarious.

Won't babble too much about these, I should've watched them ages ago. Sleepy Hollow was more enjoyable than I thought! For some reason, Tim Burton's films aren't really my thing but this was a nice surprise because it DOES feel very Burtonesque? It's more of a "10yr olds first scary movie" but idc, I got scared a few times lmao. American Psycho truly is the DIVA of horror. Enough said 💅.

I don't even know if The Menu can be classified as horror, even though it has a lot of horror elements. Still I really liked it! I thought the premise was unique and well executed (no pun intended). There's also a nice little twist at the end so I really recommend it! Also, Anya Taylor-Joy ❤️.

Not me shivering while watching The Conjuring 😭. I swear this is the ONLY horror film that has actually done that to me! Horror films with religious undertones really do spook me the most I guess. The sound design is PHENOMENAL in this one, so if you like to get scared I really recommend this one (I've watched the second film in the series but the first Conjuring is still way more spooky). Smile was also a pleasant surprise. A friend recommended it to me even though we have vastly different taste. I'm not really the psychological horror type but Smile really was solid! I know this is an unpopular opinion but Smile 2 kinda pales in comparison to 1 in my opinion. The reason I liked the first so much was because it looked so gritty and ofc the reveal of the monster was at the very end for just a few minutes. I feel like the protag being a psychiatrist and still not being able to deal with her inner turmoil contributed more to the monster's scare factor. Don't get me wrong, I LOVED Naomi Scott's performance, I think she really deserves all the praise, but the second film kinda felt more cartoonish to me? I think it might be because of the abundance of jumpscares and the CGI was everywhere so the monster ended up looking more goofy in my eyes (like- creepypasya tier goofy). Smile 2 was still an okay film but I def recommend the first one!

favorite horror films you watched in 2024? here are mine:

i really started getting into horror this year but in 2025 i will have more movies 😋

I’m trying to plan out something fun to do, but it involves New Skills and Learning Software and the Mortifying Ordeal of Being Known, and my clinically-diagnosed anxiety is rearing up at every step. My mom’s life motto is “Work the problem,” so I'm trying to remember that every time I hit a speed bump. What's the next step in dealing with this problem? What question do you need to google, what article do you need to read, what peripheral do you need to research?

The thing is, I've noticed that every time in my life I make a bunch of confident promises and give myself a rousing pep talk, my executive functioning folds immediately. Like a lawn chair. Just--gone. So we're not doing that this time; I'm tricking myself into not noticing that I'm accomplishing anything. We are all going to have to deal with my anxiety (and yours as well, if you want) and learn to accept it and work alongside it. Because I've noticed that when I'm--let's say, when I let myself be ~vulnerable with the universe--I tend to get further. Maybe subconsciously I reduce tension by saying, "Look, I never said I would definitely do it." On the other hand, maybe lowering expectations for myself makes me really want to exceed those expectations. (The only thing worse than being a perfectionist is being someone who wants to exceed perfectionism. I'm a recovering Gifted Kid™, yeah.) So, anyway, I feel like talking about it because I know you are out there, Anxiety Nation. I know you Get It.

How bad do you want this? What enthusiasm brought you here? Would anything explode, would anyone die if you failed?

Had a dream that Olruggio confessed his feelings to Qifrey and after a moment of shock and oh, that explains everything now ala that zoomed-in eye moment from Kitchen, - they kissed a bunch. But then Qifrey tried to convince Olly that they should wipe their memory of the night because things are too complicated rn for a relationship, and Olly was like... "You're a terrible man for making me have to go through confessing again," and wondering if maybe they've done all this before.

And Qifrey was like, "well, maybe I was the one who confessed last time?" and Olly just stares at him like, no way. Because Olly would never have agreed to erasing their memories if he had witnessed Qifrey saying it.

So Qifrey pulls out a paper with the seal on it and gives a half-assed speech about how 'maybe in the future when things are more settled, then they can...' and Olly just watches him, knowing something is off but unable to piece together why. But he gives him another kiss and says he'll be holding Qifrey to it.

They each hold half of the paper and complete the seal. And then... wake up at the kitchen table, the paper a pile of ash beside them.

Happy things days 14-16 (whoops)

• went to a worship/production team party for the holidays. Very fun, love those people with my whole heart.

• made pumpkin bars for the party. My beloveds

• took my grandma shopping today for stocking stuffers. It’s been our tradition for at least 3 years, maybe more. I’m a little worried because she says her back is sore now, but she did very well the rest of the time, and as for the quality of the gifts we got we think it might be our best year yet!

• found some Christmas cards I will use to send to work people

• DELIGHTFUL Rick Roll tonight. Top-notch.

• my sister does NOT have Covid! We thought she had it because she had felt dizzy that morning (which itself isn’t that weird, she has POTS) but then she realized her apple sparkling water tasted weird. Wanna know why it tasted weird? Because it’s lime. The cans are nearly identical.

[poppinlovemp4]

update in the sober light of day i still feel about the same i just like frequency less and twist waaayyy more omfg it’s so fun... oomf was right frequency sounds like it was meant to be sung in kr first and then the cn ver was an afterthought in like an equally severe way as gmt to me but i still like the cn version better so

#MyRanking filthy rich >= call me > twist >> frequency cn > frequency kr >>> high five

#MyThoughts it's like 3:40 so god knows if i'll have any of these opinions in the morning but i enjoyed for the most part 🙂‍↕️ eng songs are so difficult for me because i dont have to focus as hard to understand the lyrics so when things are cringe (often) they just start popping out but 😭 despite this i enjoyed filthy rich a lot i think it was my fave off the album off first listen... i also liked call me which i predicted and i liked the instrumentals on twist so much idk how i feel about the song as a whole though. def not as negative as i was expecting like i do think i liked it but i also dont know for sure i'll decide in the morning

as for frequency i def get why they kept going hehehe it's NEO!!! (was scared) but i think it still sounded like wayv... not my fave title track from them ever but i wasnt expecting an all time best esp since my tastes lean toward omy which theyre never ever doing again. i still had fun...! but again it's now 3:43 am so that could mean anything
