wow your blog is so comforting and cosy to me. not just the title and the open minded discussion, just you seem chill even if youre not chill (you mentioned your wips are all over the place haha). but youre so like... level headed seeming. i dont get the impression that what people say here could sway you or make you doubt or get angry. i think thats what people mean by safe corners of the internet (an oxymoron lol) because i feel chill and calm when i come here, even if i dont agree with a take (hasnt happened yet) i feel like i would be happy to not agree and just be interested in the different point of view? idk. the internet in general often has manic or victimised or dangerous energy, and this page doesnt for me. i logged out of twit and im never going back lol

but this is a vibe, thanks!

This ask got me through the rest of my work shift absolutely grinning ahhh ❤️❤️❤️ Genuinely flattered that you think all of this? Because i'm really trying to carve out a fun fresh little space with this blog.

I was initially so hesitant to toe into the fandom after s4, but being deep in different fandoms on twitter was so demoralizing and fandom was Not Fun Anymore so I ditched and shifted back to tumblr, discovered byler was a thriving place, and became obsessed! Eventually I got disheartened when I saw how contentious the fandom was becoming as well. It's fiction! So what if people like to explore allllllll sorts of topics with the fictional characters they either relate to or just really like. Took awhile, but I really hoped there was a corner where people could just be chill and - chat openly! I'm a guy who loves sharing ideas and jokes and being very anti-shame as a mantra.

We all have different tastes and perspectives and that's a cool thing. I really want to be a person people can feel safe talking to, like I really don't like the unkind state of the internet and I'm very much a really chill dude. Even if folks have differing theories or different kinks or different story ideas - I love reading the variety? I love discussing different things? I love analyzing media! I love hollywood! I looooove romance and I loooove sex! Look into what the colors of the historic gay pride flag means - I try to live my life by those tenets and as a very very happily gay/queer guy, I'm just sometimes looking for an outlet to blow off some steam when I come home from a very demanding job. I love these characters and these actors. Corny as hell, but stranger things feels like such a safe zone to chill in when you find the right corner. So here I am. And here you fine people are! I hope yall stick around with me because I don't think I'll be bouncing from this fandom anytime soon. got too many ideas and I am never not writing haha ❤️❤️❤️❤️
