It made me think of you

[starry-eyed-steve]

I don't like how the Jancy fight got resolved here. Basically, Jonathan said it was okay for Nancy to be an ass to him about his financial situation because she was ultimately right. His problems got never addressed by the narrative because, yes, Nancy was right about the story, but Jonathan wasn't in the wrong either to call her out on her privileges. Unfortunately, Karen's pep talk prior to that did nothing but reinforce Nancy's behavior because ultimately Karen told her to keep going no matter who you hurt. Nancy didn't get a chance to grow because the show treats her as someone who can't do wrong. She still doesn't understand Jonathan and his struggles, and the show doesn't care either for this.

Neither of them really apologized. Nancy said she didn't mean it but couldn't say sorry, and Jonathan abolved her from it because in his mind, he deserved it. And definitely, the icing on the cake was Nancy's comment about him "better not doubting her ever again," destroying the small apology she gave. Again, showcasing she didn't learn or grew from this fight/situation.

Something something Billy resorts to violence and reacts positively in violent situations because he can predict how it'll feel and how it'll go

It’s really hard to fit writing a fic into my schedule when I have to read other peoples fics 20 hours a day 😔

[byler-prompts]

Byler Cinderella!AU, except Mike wants nothing to do with the ball, so he purposefully gets in trouble to stay home, (his parents also punish him by telling him to do the chores), and Will is the Prince who (temporarily) runs away from his own ball, not wanting to “marry a nice woman and settle down”, as Hopper put it. (No one in his family knows he’s gay… yet)

Will successfully escapes from the Kingdom, making sure to leave behind no trace of where he was going. And why should he? He’ll just be back later anyways. Now, Will has never really been in the eye of the public, not being as extroverted as his adopted sister Jane, (they called each twins though), and not having to be out there like his reluctant older brother.

He sits there for a while, before the other wakes up, and then begins the interrogation, starting with, “Are you hurt anywhere?” Will is at first flabbergasted. He doesn’t know where he is, where wouldn’t he be? He shifts uncomfortably, before shaking his head. “Are you mute?”, comes the next question, and Will just gawks. After a few more weird questions, Mike finally asks the other for his name, and what he was doing passed out in front of his home. “My name is Will, and as for your other question,” he makes up an excuse for it, not wanting to know he’s a prince. After all, it might be a freeing feeling. They actually hit it off after that, and although Will does offer to help with the chores, he’s completely useless in that area - all off the servants normally do all the work, the only thing he really excels at is painting and drawing. So Mike just eventually tells the other (after many mistakes), to sit down and he’ll take care of it himself.

They get to know each other a bit more, and they find out each other’s hobbies, and interests, and dislikes. Mike tells him about his in royalty, Wills says they are not bad, “pushy sometimes, but not bad.” Mike just shrugs at the comment and moves onto something else. “Hey. Do you think you can show me one of your paintings sometime?” Will nods ecstatically. He was glad to have recognition for his hobbies and not his status for once. Poor Buff Byers. :(

Will then looks at the grandfather clock, it was way past midnight - the ball has ended. He turns back to Mike and smiles. “Well, I better go. My family will be worried, and they are a bit overprotective of me.” Mike snorts, “Why did you sneak out if you knew your family would be worried?” Will’s smile widens. “I already told you, I wanted some space from home.” Then, after a beat, he says, “hey, do you think I come over tomorrow?” And thus becomes the start of a beautiful romance.

Also, Jancy happens at the ball because I say so, and they are so adorable together, just like Lumax, Rockie/Vibin and Duzie. TwT

Plus, another plot device! :0

It’s not like Will and Mike could get publicly married anyways, but Mike would definitely be freaking out about it for no reason. (Mike also checks out Will’s muscles on the second visit, lmao)

Another throw away prompt, I’m getting good with these spontaneous ideas.

Anyways, use this as you wish, and again, I’ll be stalking AO3, waiting! UwU

[mimi-saurio]

I was re-watching 13 going on 30 and I need to know if someone already made an AU with Jancy because is literally their characters with no Upside Down. If you have the information, don't keep it to yourself, please shareeee 😩

Joyce’s plots in a nutshell

winona ryder's character in stranger things has never been wrong even once and every time the fucking gravity turns off or whatever she says "hey thats weird right" and everyone in a 10 mile radius is like "woah category five woman moment incoming"

[jonathanbyersphd]

THIS IS A SET DO NOT SEPARATE 

[queerlikeyou]

joyce byers appreciation post because she is the only girlboss ever and just look how cute she is

[henrysglock]

anyway. i can’t wait to watch Will be the worst version of himself in st5. because we all know what he’s like when he’s stressed/upset. “i am a freak” “stupid girl” [takes a bat to castle byers] “what friends?” “we have to kill him”

can’t wait to see Will be an absolute cunt and NOT in the fun, sassy, girlboss way.

[urlocalbylershipper]

ICB 😭😵

when jonathan says “you know what? you are a freak” and will snaps out of his self-pity long enough to stare at jonathan like he has all the audacity in the world 😭😭😭

[rigginsstreet]

honestly narratively the fight at the byers is so boring like

the only reason billy isnt clued in to anything is because they needed the kids to be able to steal his car and get to the tunnels. the only reason he beats steve as bad as he does is to get theyre little hee hee ha ha moment of max driving. also so they can do their little max girlboss moment “putting down” her brother who like... isnt even that bad to begin with. its a power fantasy. and im not buying into it

you can also argue this is all to keep billy in the dark for his eventual possession in season 3

you know whats more fun? having billy beat steve ass but in the process finding out about the monster in the fridge, driving everyone down to the tunnels, have billy and steve almost get caught in the stampede and have an “oh shit we almost died together” moment. have billy lifting max out to her safety. end the season with billy having a half truce with everyone. this all still works with him getting possessed in season 3 NOT TO MENTION IT PACKS MORE OF AN EMOTIONAL PUNCH WHEN PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY STARTING TO CARE ABOUT HIM

these writers are so lazy. making a teenage abuse victim your ~big bad~. go to therapy you weirdos
