#i don't share steve's love of sports or kids at all so idk what we'd talk about

[byler-alarmist]

I'd hang out with Argyle, Robin, and Max!

Argyle is just so effortlessly chill and gets the big picture, plus he's not afraid of being different or hanging out with weirdos, he's a great listener and is always down for some pizza and/or weed. He's also not afraid to call you on your bullshit, which we all need sometimes! Also, he's got a good taste in music, and my car is currently out of commission, so I may be able to bum a ride off him now and then (am I Jonathan??)

Robin and I could geek out about languages and teach each other the ones we don't know. She wouldn't understand my dude crushes, but we'd connect on fashion sense and our shared love of film. We'd give each other love advice and draw boobies and dicks on each other's shoes. I'd get her into some foreign animation and she'd give me books and encourage me to broaden my dating horizons.

I have a pretty eclectic taste in music that I'd LOVE to share with Max. We both already love Kate Bush, and I know I could get her into some other cool artists like Siouxsie and Book of Love, maybe some other cool darkwave bands. I'd have some posters of pretty people she could put up in her room, and I feel like we could have some really meaningful conversations about gender and experimentation. We could also commiserate about our dads and wax poetic about the smell of ocean breeze.

As tempted as I am to say Mike or Will, I'm not STEM-y enough for Mike, so there's a chance he'd look down on me LOL. If he saw me as a queer elder though, he might pay attention more. As for Will, we would get along, but I'd be insecure about him possibly being a better artist than me (lmao), plus I usually like my friends a bit on the yappy side. I bet I could get him to open up, though! People are always surprised how they end up divulging their inner thoughts and deep lore to me.

Okay, Bylers. You’re thrown back in time to an alternate history where Stranger Things is real. Which three characters are you hanging out with?

Will’s a given for me. We have similar personalities and he needs a gay boy to talk about gay boy things with. Plus, I knoooow I could get him to be sassier than he already is. I’m also a writer. He’s an artist. Best friend energy.

BUT

Max and Robin too. Robin because every gay man needs his lesbian partner in crime and I literally think I could talk with her forever.

Max and I though? We would be a problem. Absolute demon energy. Tormenting Mike would be our literal favorite past time. The sass and side eye would surpass legendary levels.

Tell me your trio! I love the whole cast so picking is hard.
