I’m not a huge elmaxer but I do think it’s fairly cute and whatever, but… if u ship elmax and dont ship lumax…..! idk there seems to be a trend of ignoring a well written, super cute and enjoyable mixed/poc m/f ship in favor of a bland, mega whatever they-touched-once white on white queer ship, under the pretense that you can just be like “oh i just dont like m/f ships theyre boring” :/ like. lumax is so much more interesting than elmax im sorry, elmax is cute and i think el probably had a crush on max at somepoint, but the lumax dynamic, “do you accept the risk”, “I like talking with you, stalker.”, “i disappeared / no you didnt, i just didn’t look hard enough”, “movie friday?”, just everything about them will always beat elmax?? its weird so many of you are so quick to ship el and max and put them alongside byler (ignoring the canon byler/lumax parallels and double date!) claiming that m/f ships are boring and queer ones are better, while ships like byclair or henclair are rarely talked about by the same crowd. it smells like racism!
#ship what you want#but i think ur weird#sorry lumax on top#literally the best ship in the show other than maybe byler#and the people who pair of elmax and then pair off henclair#just so they can pretend they care about lucas or even dustin and not be called racist#! ur weird#fans who only care about elmax and byler….#do NOT interact thats crazy#this fandom loooooves their white people#stranger things#byler#lumax#idk if i should tag elmax ☠️#but its not really elmax hate either#i do genuinely think elmax is cute! elumax is very cute to me#fandom#harpersays

This really is a massive issue, and honestly it makes me feel like I don’t really have a place in this fandom because of it and I hate that. I love Stranger Things, and after one of my siblings who’s been watching it since 2016 recommended it to me, it became my new hyperfixation. But the racism people are either actively encouraging or being passive about in this fandom has kind of shaken me.
There are so many things I could start with to show how this has been an issue, from Lucas’s treatment vs. Billy’s to the treatment of the actual cast, but honestly I don’t want to get too into it.
It’s just exhausting to not be able to enjoy a piece of media you love cause it feels like it can’t be a safe space. There’s already all the racism day-to-day, but seeing it here too hurts in a different way.
What rlly bugs me about that favorite character poll is how LITTLE votes Lucas specifically has. he’s in the bottom three when he is objectively one of the most well written characters on the show?? There is NO REASON he shouldn’t be at least a little closer to contending with Steve like Will is, but hes not and gosh I wonder why 🤨
Stranger Things fans I see you. I see your racism. It’s not subtle. It’s actually very loud and it needs to be addressed more on here bc it’s a HUGE PROBLEM that I’ve noticed even more so in this fandom than in others.
And black creators shouldn’t have to be the only ones talking about it or even just bringing it briefly up either.
#it really is a problem#like Lucas is never even mentioned half the times when people talk about favorites#or just things they like about stranger things characters#neither is erica#we’ve had Lucas for four season and he’s not even in the top 8 stranger things characters on TikTok#and I love Eddie but the fact that we had him for one and he managed that#Lucas is even part of the original party and he’s so good#but no#and people always excusing Billy’s racism :|#“but he’s hot 🥺#hes still an asshole? abusive and racist? are we simply going to ignore this?#idk I have a lot of feelings about this#spread this post around the fandom please#stranger things#stranger things fandom#stranger things tumblr#sorry for all the ship tags but people need to see this#steddie#ronance#jargyle#stonancy#stonathon#stancy#platonic stobin#jopper#mileven#elumax#lumax#byler tumblr

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.
#P.S: I'm gonna pay attention to how many ppl send me hate bc of this or block me#stranger things#lucas sinclair#st vickie#robin buckley#jason stranger things#will byers#dustin henderson#eddie munson#argyle#jonathan byers#erica sinclair#byler#← target audience#byler target audience

Song & Scene Analysis: Lumax vs Byler
I've also posted this on the Byler Subreddit so if you see it there, hi, that's me!
I’m sure you’re aware of song importance in Stranger Things with the Duffer Brothers saying sometimes it takes weeks to pick a song that conveys the exact message they’re trying to portray. I’ve seen quite a bit of theories around what songs mean what, but there’s one specific song that caught my attention.
There’s a scene in season two, episode six where Lucas and Max speak on top of a bus in the junkyard. It’s a lovely scene in which Max explains her behavior to Lucas, and apologizes for some stuff she wasn’t proud of. She says she’s sorry for acting like a jerk, and doesn’t ever want to be like that, but she feels overwhelmed with her home life and takes it out on people she doesn’t mean to. She then expresses that she likes California, and sometimes wants to go home, but having Lucas there with her for comfort makes her feel better. Max makes a call back to their “Stalker” joke, with a shared laugh. This emotional scene is then cut off by the sighting of a demodog, and a tense scene plays.
Now you know the base of the conversation, let me tell you about a similar scene I see as a parallel. Season four, episode four bedroom talk. This scene is between Mike and Will, where Mike apologizes to Will. In his apology he says he’s sorry for acting like a jerk, but everything with El was just really overwhelming and he doesn’t want Will to feel like their argument was personal. Mike explains to Will that he really appreciates Hawkins, but, since Will moved to California, it feels different. He misses Will. They share a “Cool” with each other and sit in silence while smiling, but are cut off by the doorbell as Jack’s men come searching for El.
These scenes may not feel as similar as I'm insisting with just this information, but there’s a very key portion to this parallel: Music.
I’m going to go through these scenes at the same time to help you understand where I’m coming from. At the current moments in time for these scenes, Lucas/Will have a like Max/Mike, but don’t know how to confront them about it. Max/Mike both apologize to Lucas/Will for hurting them when they didn’t mean to. Max/Mike say the reason they acted like this was because they felt overwhelmed with their lives at the moment. Max/Mike say that they like California/Hawkins but without Lucas/Will, it wouldn’t be/isn't the same. Max/Mike make a callback to “Stalker/Cool”. Almost directly after these heartfelt talks, they’re interrupted with the intense Demodog/Goverment scenes. The same song plays in these scenes to further imply that we’re supposed to view them the same way. The camera slowly zooms closer on their reactions to help the audience grasp these scenes better, and help it feel more intimate.
These are things you basically can’t deny, as I’m just stating the facts of these scenes. From all of these similarities and comparisons, we can also further suspect other aspects of these scenes. Something we’re allowed to assume is that, like Max, Mike also has feelings for Will. If the original scene including this song is meant to be interpreted as romantic, then why would the second be any different? If the original scene is meant to be read as a “romantic” and “intimate” apology, then why would the second scene suddenly be a purely platonic interaction? If they’d wanted us as an audience to think otherwise, then they would have chosen a different way to portray this scene.
I thank you greatly for listening to me rant about why this scene drove me crazy. I’ve been looking forward to posting this for a while, but with my very on fire Spongebob looking brain, I never remembered. I’d love love looooove to hear your thoughts and add ons to this, ESPECIALLY corrections if i’ve somehow misinterpreted something. I wouldn't want to spread misinformation. Have a good morning, afternoon, or night, folks.

if that inspires you, can you do please lumax + 16 "things you said with no space between us" ?
helloooo nonny! this one's a few days late and i'm so sorry, but i finally got to finish this lil thing and now i'm having brainrot fr. (small cw for allusions to max's family situation)
lucas will NOT be seeing it (2017) in theaters.
16. things you said with no space between us
There’s this horrible quiet that comes with doom.
Max knows it well at this point, actually finds some comfort in it now that she doesn’t have to drown out all her thoughts with music. It’s such a certain thing. The ultimate perspective on life, the knowledge of what’s important and what isn’t. Max maybe kind of likes it.
Lucas, on the other hand, gets antsy.
Silence, to him, isn’t a comfort. Maybe ever. Max understands it in a way – the Sinclair house is rarely quiet. Erica alone is loud enough to fill any room with life, but Sue isn’t far behind her either, a more comforting but steady stream of chatter she keeps up easy as breathing. Charles is the only reserved one but even he gets animated when the right subject gets brought up. Like planes or Lucas’ biology homework. (Erica once confided in Max that she’s 100% sure Lucas got his “nerd genes” from their father’s side of the family. “You should hear Uncle Jack go off,” she’d said with a long and meaningful look.)
Spending time at the Sinclairs’ definitely shed some light on Lucas’ constant bickering with Dustin and Mike. There’s no fear in him that a simple argument can shift and shake in a single word. His parents built him and Erica a home where they never have to be truly afraid of their punishments.
If Max had that, maybe she wouldn’t relish silence either.
But she did, and so she does, while Lucas gets into his own head. He and Mike can give each other a run for the money in pacing.
And sometimes, like now, Max can’t take it. She waits for him to pass her and stops him short, tugging at his sleeve. She’s sitting crisscross applesauce on the ground and at this point they’ve done this often enough, so he knows what she’s saying.
With a sigh he abandons his route and lowers himself to sit in front of her. He spins himself so it’s his back to her and she uncrosses her legs so he can lean back against her while she brackets him, leaving little to no space between them.
It makes her feel better, knowing that she's someone's resting place. Sometimes it's nice to feel relied on.
“Do you want the Walkman?” she asks, hands hovering over it at her side. Sometimes that helps, to introduce sound into the dread. They’ve learned to communicate with the lights anyway, he doesn’t always need his ears.
“No,” he says. “I just wanna get this over with.”
Max laughs, a little bitter. “You know after this there’s just gonna be another one. And another. And another.”
He tilts his head back. She’s already looking down at the top of his head, so their noses are almost touching now. The smell of him sits deep inside her chest, an automatic recognition of him.
“Yeah, but eventually we’ll figure out how to get to the end,” he says and sounds wonderfully confident. Against her better judgment it warms Max from the inside out. His conviction is always so infectious, it’s hard to resist
Still, she can’t resist challenging him just a little. “What if we don’t?”
He shakes his head and she feels it against her torso and bumping against her legs. “We will.” He bumps his nose against hers. “And then I never wanna see a Stephen King movie again.”
#thank you soso much for sending me THEM i so v much hope i characterized them at least semi well#lumax#lucas sinclair#max mayfield#lucas drawing comfort from physical touch and max drawing comfort from words of affirmation they're perfect for each other your honor#*ficlets#emfics#*

Allllllll right, 08×02 rewatch rambling, let's go!!
This episode is going to make me emotional, I know that all ready.
1) Hopper and the scientists (+the demodogs ig)
Hopper: You sure 'bout that glass?
Bro was so real for that--
2) Mike and Bob
My boy's so smart :3
3) Demogorgons (+dead scientists ig)
Yay, death! :D (/j)
4) Mike, Will, Joyce, and Bob
I already said that and I'll say it again: Mike's so smart, I love my son.
And here is the famous "Ur Mom!" scene lol-- (sorry)
Alright, more seriously, seeing Will like must have been mildly traumatizing for Mike and Joyce don't you think? :(
Also, that one shoot of Mike slapping his hands on his ears to not ear Will... Poor boy must have felt so guilty, even if he knew it was the best thing to do. :((
5) the camera room (or something)
Holy cow.
Alright, I'm going to talk about my boy!! :D
Because there's never enough opportunities to talk about Mike's traumas <33
Imagine being Mike Wheeler, a 12 year old boy who's best friend is being possessed by some supernatural monster that is trying to murder everyone and everything around it. And now, you're locked in a room with lots of adults that you know very little to nothing about (except Joyce), and you're seeing in live people being killed and devoured by some other supernatural creatures that are also trying to murder and eat everything and everyone around them. AND, on top of that, all lights just went off for no apparent reasons. Also, you're feeling extremely guilty of all this because you think you could've prevent all of it from happened, if only you asked your best friend to have a sleepover with you a year before that. And how easy would've that been? It's not like you couldn't have done it, you just "weren't in the mood" that night, so of course it's your fault Michael!!--
Anyway. You got me. :)
6) the Mayfield house
Ew, Neil.
I still dislike Billy, but even this guy doesn't deserve to be treated like that. :(
(He was looking pretty good too! I like his eyes.)
7) Dustin, Lucas, Max, and Steve
I love Dustin and Lucas's fight honestly, it really shows how important the rules and honestly are for the party. (Also shows how different their's and byler's fight was--)
Also,
Max: No, no, no. Hey, guys, why are you headed towards the sound??
No because she's so real for that honestly, they were pretty dumb here ToT
8) the Lab
The way Mike's nerdy brain most likely know some BASIC and Hopper doesn't even know what it is lol--
Also, I'm like 80% sure that Dr.Owens know BASIC (at least enough to do what they were talking about) and just didn't want to go on a suicide mission. ._.
Anyway, I already feel sad for Bob help me :((
9) Stoncy, Lumax, and Dustin
Jonathan and Nancy were flabbergasted to see Steve here lol--
Also, Max must be so confused like "...Who are these people again?"
9) Bob
Poor man would've been traumatized as hell if he was still alive. :(
10) Stoncy and the kids
Why are you so agressive Dustin? Poor Jonathan was doing the same thing as you did! ToT
11) Bob (+others)
He's so smart he's so smart I'm so sad AAAAAHHHH!! :(((
NOOOOO, don't forget the guuunnn!!! ༼;´༎ຶ ༎ຶ༽
(Also, Dustin's "I did it! :D" was so cute lol)
12) Hopper, Mike, Will, and Joyce
They way they were so fucking lucky to get out without seeing any Demogorgons ToT
13) Bob and Owens
JSJISIZKKSMMCXLZRQZRWDTXLFJVUVGUCGDJWSURWWURXFIUGCPUVUPGFCYSWEAQRZSIFYPVUIBPIPHIYCXDTUSRWZUOCYBIPPNNINUHLCFTWZZAAYEXTCGUVVUPUOGXTESRZXETEOCUBBPGCRTWZWRZVUP!!!!!! This scene is so nerve wracking it's killing me!! And I already know how it ends!!!! ToT
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGJHHLJDTLUTDDRULLXUULHFLUTDOYRSOGYOGOYGIYLUXTIDYFDIYDYI I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE THIS STUPID HANDLE IS THE ONLY REASON WHY BOB DIED AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!
༼;´༎ຶ ༎ຶ༽༼;´༎ຶ ༎ຶ༽༼;´༎ຶ ༎ຶ༽
(and also because he's a slow runner, but let's not ruin the mood.)
14) Joyce, Hopper, Mike, Will, and Jancy
(༎ຶ ෴ ༎ຶ)
The way Mike runs to hug Joyce and push her to the car (╥O╥)
15) Everyone
BE FAST Y'ALL
16) "Bob"
I did NOT need to see that by the way. The 3D model thing is making me a bit uncomfortable.
17) Everyone
Hopper: I AM THE POLICE--
Lmao.
Joyce :(((
Mike trying to lift the other's mood while still being in shock of seeing so many people (INCLUDING BOB) dying in front of him :((((
The kids are so intelligent I love them <33
MIIIIKKKKKKEEEEEE BABY YOU'RE SO SMAAAARRRRTTTTTTT!!!
And you're also going to HATE your own idea in approximately 15mins. Yahoo.
Stancy... Yeah no. Break up already please.
Lucas and Dustin's talk ToT
Honestly I feel like Mike's trying to push Max away because he's scared that if he lets her actually be in the party, it would mean that he takes responsibility on her (because he's the paladin yk), and he doesn't want that because he feels like he's already failing everyone on that part. He doesn't want to feel responsible for someone else's life turning even more shitty.
Also, he's probably trying to not "remplace" El. (Survivor's guilt, yk?)
Jonathan and Joyce... I guess they're never escaping this realistic VS optimistic thing. :(
(I'm going to call this patched up place "interrogation room'' because yes.)
18) Byers house (Dustin, Nancy, Steve, Lucas, and Max)
Max: Yeah but.. But if he finds us?
Lucas:... Judgement day.
I mean, you can say it like that.
19) Interrogation room (Will, Joyce, Jonathan, Hopper, and Mike)
Mike bitting his nails off and hiding his hands under his armpits to try to comfort himself.. :((
Also, the light are flittering!! Will's powers??
MIKE'S EEEYYYYESSSS AAAAAAHHHH (༎ຶ ෴ ༎ຶ)
Joyce's monologue is just making me so happy... Imagine a little 8 years old Will, drawing his huge rainbow ship with this new(!!) 120(!!!) crayon set. He must have been so happy. :')
Jonathan's monologue toooo... My babies. :(
I really want to see them make castle byers honestly.
(alright, time for the big deal™)
THE WAY MIKE WAS ALREADY CRYING WHEN WE SEE HIM FOR THE FIRST TIME AND HOW WILL'S EYES START WATERING TOO I CAN'T APKXKDJSIDOZJJZODKFJBFKZOZIJ TOT
Also, can we talk about how Joyce and Jonathan had shoots of other people's faces during their monologue, and Mike absolutely didn't? It's just him and Will. MikeandWill, WillandMike, always.
Also, the way Hopper was just standing there like "🧍" LMAO--
He say the morse code though!! Good job Hopper!!! (IT'S THE HAND THAT MIKE WAS HOLDING AAAJKDKSPODJLDKEKZODJNDKQOSJDBJSODKFJJSODKDJZJKAK)
20) Everyone (-Will)
Steve: What's that?
All the kids: Morse code.
Lmao--
21) Interrogation room
(vibbing with "should I stay or should I go")
All of those little monologues are so sweet ToT💕
I especially love the truck one, Will is literally the kindest, sweet, most adorable little boy in the world, and I love him so much.
22) Byers house
Holy hell, phone murder.
23) interrogation room
Yep, they're cooked! Baked as bread!! Fried as chicken!!! :'D
24) Everyone
(MIKE HOLDING A CANDLE HOLDER LIKE A SWORD LMAO---)
Max: Is it dead?
Well I mean, I hope so--
ELEVEN BABY YOU'RE BAAAAACCCCKKKKK!!!! I love you my girl.
Bro the long mileven eyes contact is making me almost uncomfortable, the both look high help ToT
Annnd, here comes the end of this episode!!! I'll probably do the last one tomorrow.
It was nice to write everything down like this, tho I don't think I'll be doing it while rewatching ST3 and ST4 because it's very time consuming. (This episode is 48 minutes long and I've been here for literally two hours help me out ppl)
I really like this episode, but I do think that if the last one was very plain, then this one was extremely crowded. Still loved it tho!! :)
Alright, thank you for reading my rant lol, have a nice day/night/whatever!

Something inside me
REFER TO FOR REQUEST
SUMMERY; Max and Lucas both come to realizations that change their relationship for the better <3
WARNINGS; Slight Internalized Homophobia and transphobia, Billy Hargrove is the worst but he slays in this fic, trans he/they bi max, poly bi Lucas, Lumax, Byclair, Lucas has a crush on this friend and freaks out over it, Max experiences gender euphoria for the first time
AN; I’m so sorry this took so long Anon!!! I really wanted this to turn out well because I fell in love with this idea! Proof read by me againl!! (Btw this takes place pre season 3, post season 2) Ok so like, i started this in late 2022.... it's now late 2023. didnt have the energy to finish this and I want it OUT of my drafts
Max hated it. Max hated every time someone would call them “pretty” “beautiful” or any other term of the sort. They just hated it. They hated being a girl and being told that they should wear more skirts and put their hair up more. They especially hated it when they were told to wear dresses to events. They just wanted to be free and be able to wear what they want. Max didn’t want to be seen as a girl and they weren’t really sure why. They didn’t know how they wanted to be seen
That was until mid June. Max had been forced to go out with their mom to some kind of meeting since Billy and Neil were both out. They had been wearing a hoodie and pants with their usual red vans, the hood covered the top half of their face and their hair was tucked into the back of the hood, in two braids. They weren’t exactly paying attention, mostly just reading random signs that scattered the hallway they were in with their mother when one of their mother’s recent friends approached them. They hadn’t really been listening to the conversation until they heard something that struck a flame in them.
“Oh and your son is so handsome! He just has the most amazing blue eyes!” Max’s head quickly turned to the woman in question who had long black hair and was clad in a flowing blue dress. A smile crept to the corners of Max’s mouth and they tried to cover their now red cheeks that had flushed in embarrassment and flattery. She thought I was a boy? But I look so…ugh.
The smile dropped and their fingers went cold when their mother had spoken up.
“Oh no no no, this is my daughter, Maxine.”
That day as Max was on their way home with their mother they kept thinking about it. Could people truly see them as a boy?
He wasn’t supposed to. He wasn’t supposed to like him and think of him the way he does. Lucas beat himself up for it but he couldn’t deny the fact that he found his best friend, Will Byers, attractive. He couldn’t deny the fact that he gets butterflies when he sees Will smiling and talking to him. His heart would skip a beat whenever Will invited Lucas to hang out. He hated himself for it cause it felt so wrong. He knew he still loved Max. And he knew that it was wrong for a boy to like another boy that way.
He sat in his room, some music playing lowly on a radio that stood on his desk. He forced himself to get up and walk to the phone in the kitchen of his home, though his body resented the action after laying down and doing a whole lot of nothing that day. Just as he was dialing in Max’s number the phone rang and he picked it up.
“Hello-?”
“Lucas! I didn’t think you’d pick up so fast!”
“Will? Is that you?”
“The one and only! I was wondering if we could hang out at your place for a bit? You know just us without Mike and Dustin”
Lucas’s heart beat had quickly sped up at the words and his cheeks became dusted with a shade of dark red.
“That sounds great Byers, see you in 15?”
“See ya! Bye!”
“Bye..”
Lucas Sinclair had a dilemma. One he couldn’t figure out on his own. He knew who he had to speak too, Eleven Hopper.
(MY ASS IS NOT FINISHING THIS GOODBAI.)

okay. name your top 5 byler moments, your top 5 lumax and/or another ship you love, and why.
OKAY SORRY THIS IS A FEW DAYS LATE
But here we go
My Top 5 Byler Moments (In no particular order):
1- The Shed Scene:
Just the way Will turns to Mike and suddenly it’s only them two in the room- in the world. Like- if you were to just watch their moment you wouldn’t know there were other people.
The fact that Mike is so hesitant but is willing to let his guard down to try and reach out to Will and show him how much he means to him. The was he relaxed when he said ‘I just walked up to you and I asked’ like it was the easiest thing ever I love it so much. Mike literally saying asking Will to be his friend was the best thing he ever did?? (Keeping in mind this is after the events of season 1 and El like— that was a genuine confession of love).
Even from a film standpoint it’s gorgeous. The way the scene is so stripped down- only two shots of just Will and Mike, minimal editing— it’s so raw. And the way Will is essentially illuminated and there’s that sense that he feels seen by Mike. And Mike, in contrast, being covered by shadows but still having half his face be equally illuminated almost like he’s breaking down his walls and letting Will see him be vulnerable. It’s just *chefs kiss*
2- Crazy Together:
I mean an obvious favourite. It does so well to establish their dynamic and their relationship as a whole. I feel like this is the first moment tells you like— oh their relationship is different- not necessarily in a romantic sense, but there’s something more to them. There’s something special about there bond.
Like- not only do we see Will open up to Mike and tell him that the others wouldn’t get it. You see Mike do the same. Mike — who was depressed, more defensive, and closed up — starts to actually open up about his feelings. He tells Will how he feels instead of shutting him out. Like—
You get this like same filming style of showing how they’re in their own world. The camera starts on a wide-ish shot of them on the couch and it’s panning in. Then it’s just two shots of them- and it’s like we’re peering into this small world they’re in. Ans after the moment it cuts back to the wide shot and we’re panning out- exiting their world.
3- Bedroom Scene:
This scene- THIS SCENE. Ugh I love it like— there’s so much tension between them it kills me. I feel like I could talk about this for hours. There’s such a hesitancy from Will in the beginning- like he turns away and doesn’t try to push the conversation forward out of like …this fear of breaking this rare instance where they’re normal. And the way Mike kinda fumbles to continue the conversations.
Like?? they both want each other and want to be okay but Will is scared of breaking it and Mike is scared of losing it. The vulnerability from Mike again it’s like you only see him like this with Will. He’s so willing to let down his walls just to show Will he cares. The fact that he can openly tell Will how much he means to him consistently. He wants Will to know he means the world to him just- (also the clear flirting)
And AGAIN I’m sorry the film nerd in me loves how it’s portrayed in the shots. Like- there’s this hesitancy in the shot types. We aren’t immediately immersed into this bubble they’re always in. They’re both scared. It starts with wide shots but they slowly pan in and it slowly builds into close ups and it’s that feeling that they’re in their own world and everything is okay. Idk I love it so much.
4- The Final Shot:
Lmao there isn’t much to say about this one but I still love it because it’s so clear that byler is endgame at this point. And also the fact that at this point I was still in denial that byler was endgame. I was like ‘WHY WOULD THEY PUT THEM TOGETHER IF THEY ARENT ENDGAME >:(‘ like….bestie- you’re almost there.
I also just think it’s a gorgeous shit composition and I’ve said it before it looks like a painting and I love it so much. Also byler in the centre?? You know we’re gonna be the main focus hehe I’m excited.
5- The Cabin Scene:
This sceeeene i love. Because for me personally it tells us a lot about what their dynamic is going to be next season. Will is more reserved now. He’s the one that is keeping to himself. After the van scene, mikes confession (‘confession’) to El- he’s trying to let go and stop hoping. Stop setting himself up for pain. He still wants Mike in his life but he’s trying to keep a bit of distance for his sake.
And it’s Mike who in turn is the one who has to reach out. The one who’s keeping consistent eye contact on Will. The one who’s reaching his hand out to him initiating physical touch. It’s so telling of what’s going to happen next season and I’m so excited.
Not to mention the shot is absolutely the most gorgeous thing ever. The way Will is quite literally bathed in sun and mike is again casted in shadows. I just love the like consistent idea of sun and moon with them. It’s so beautiful. And the fact that Mike leans in and reaches into the sun and no longer hides essentially??? It’s just so beautiful.
Anyways okay— this post is very long 😭😭 I’m really sorry— i don’t think i should add a top 5 for lumax/another ship otherwise it’ll be too long but lmk if you want me to!!
#byler#anon ask#thank you for the ask my dude <3 it was a really nice question#the last two gifs are mine so ignore the quality MSJSKSJJ

okay. name your top 5 byler moments. Top 5 lumax moments and/or another ship of your choice.
Ooohh, I like this!! Fun asks are my favorite thing and I’m so personally invested in everyone working to send anons to each other to make the tag more positive today <3 everyone doing it is winning at life just so you know, thank you
Alright, for Byler:
The Superspy scene. I mean come on, it’s so cute.
The Rink-O-Mania flirt fight
The van scene, needed more awards tbh
The Shed Scene—it’s such a visceral, quiet moment and the climax of s2
Last s3 goodbyes before Cali, with the desperate hug, the return of Heroes, and Will crying by the car
Lumax:
Going to the movies with Byler at the start of s3 (in their element!! having fun!!)
“Movie Friday?” :(
Singing the Neverending Story at Dustin while they’re packing up the Byers
The bus scene in s2—it’s more or less in the middle of Max’s grand intro to the supernatural stuff, and Lucas is so sweet
The hilltop scene in s3 where Lucas calls Phoebe Cates cute
And for the last one, I’ll do Jancy, because why not:
In Mrs. Driscoll’s basement the second time, when Jon starts to believe her
Setting a trap for the demogorgon at the Byers’ in s1
Teaming up to help the kids at Starcourt before and after the MF arrives
Can I just say the whole first episode of s3? Because I feel like all the scattered moments fit together really nice and I like it
When they’re walking in school together in s2 and they get the invites for the Halloween party. Their convo is cute
This was super fun, thank you so much! Sorry it took me a few hours to answer, but I hope you like it!
#ask#byler#lumax#jancy#they're all so aksndjshd#sorry i had to include the superspy vid to spread my agenda <3#this was fun thank you

Oh yeah, hard agree on how people perceive Mlvn. Mlvn is portrayed as this dramatic, bombastic relationship where they have these angsty moments and loud 'ILY' moments and monologues, so it is automatically perceived as a great ship and dynamic. But as Caleb said, what makes Lmax real and genuine is that they are not like Mlvn. They do not need to show how much they love each other. Lumx's dynamic and love is real and feels natural due to that reason because they do not spell out how much they love each other, they rather show it to us by caring for each other naturally... And it's like, you really do not actually spell out how much you love someone in a dramatic scene with a dramatic speech, because it really shouldn't be needed in the narrative sense. But the media's perception regarding how a real romance should be is based on those cliche moments, and I cannot exactly blame Mlvns for that. Because, yeah, big monologues, love speeches, 'love at first sight' stuff, one character declaring or screaming how they're scared of losing their partner, just declaring how they love that person (in S3 with Mike)... those are casual and common things in media when it comes to romance.
So, do I think ppl do not exactly get the aspect of Lmx? Yeah. But do I blame them for thinking that Mlvn is a better romance due to all of those 'tropes' and common writing stuff that Mlvn was given on the show? Not exactly, no, I do not exactly blame those people for thinking that way. Bc the majority of the media does that all the time.
bro this been sitting in my asks for DAYS lmao I'm sorry. I assume this is response to my addition here, so I've kept that in mind!
But yes! agreed! A lot of people are so used to grand gestures being what is considered "romantic" in media (and, tragically, in real life) that they gloss over the romantic importance and value of friendship, familiarity and just. enjoying each other's company in the mundane.
I think the easiest way to think about it is to think about people in real life--the ones whose relationships have survived a long time. People who have been married or successfully coupled for 15, 20, 30+ years always tell you similar things when talking about what makes their relationship work long-term: namely "I married my best friend," "love is a decision you make not a feeling, because feelings evolve but I still chose your partner over and over," and "communication and forgiveness are core parts of what has made us successful."
Mike & El literally have none of that--they don't communicate effectively and haven't grown into doing so either I don't care what Mlvns say, don't lead with choice (but rather an expectation of feeling) and they don't share common interests anywhere outside of the goal to end the UD/physicality as their primary sign of romantic interest...which by the end of S4 isn't even there lmao.
Lumax on the other hand have slowly built to the "healthy" things I listed--they are actively contrasted to M*leven in S3 when Lucas showing that "romantic time" with his GF is hanging out with her and his friends together (which he actively calls Mike for not doing while doing those things for/with Will) on top of all the moments in S4 we see Lucas and Max slowly start to communicate, apologize, build back despite their disagreements/distance and then bond over/call to each other for by the end of the season.
By the end of S4, we have Lucas sitting bedside to Max reading to her, loving on her and being present even when she's at her lowest...whereas El walks passed Mike and doesn't even talk to him (per Mike's own admittance) despite him giving one of those bombastic love confessions we talked about, and Mike doesn't comfort her for anything related to Max (mostly because she won't let him, but that's beside the point). Lucas is doing what a great partner does (the "in sickness / for worse" part of things like wedding vows, honestly) while M*leven can't even bring themselves to do more than stonewall and pretend things are fine when they are decidedly not (especially when in front of other people).
Real talk is that its clear why Lumax is better suited to survive than M*leven if you have any sense of healthy relationship--but. I mean we know that "healthy relationship" has never been a real driver for why people ship Mike & El ☠️
thanks for the ask!

gentlefolk, bring forward your candles and hold hands with the person sitting next to you. we have gathered here today for this prayer circle, on the eve of volume two release, to manifest the following:
eleven dumps mike's ass, but this time for good
byler have several intimate and hopeful scenes
stancy do not get together
jopper officially get together
lumax get back together
steddie and ronance get to have more scenes together
robin lives
eddie lives
brenner gets his ass handed to him
vecna gets his ass handed to him
we get one(1) flashback to One(001) because jamie campbell bower is pretty
do we honestly expect all of these things to come true? no. but we are nothing if not delusionally optimistic. let us close our eyes and pray🕯️🕯️🕯️

hey i'm very scared of i know better so i'm avoiding it on tumblr rn while the ao3 tab stares at me from the top of my screen so i'm in your inbox saying that i saw hadestown on sunday!! (it was amazing we had GREAT seats we were literally in the middle of the front row and i was worried that i'd have certain expectations of their voices and be disappointed after listening to the album so much bc it wouldn't be the same people but i WASN'T they were all absolutely STELLAR and in fact i liked orpheus BETTER than the album (chibueze ihouma was SO good as orpheus that it made me feel bad for the time i made a post saying hadestown would be even better if orpheus and eurydice were lesbians. i was wrong. orpheus can be a woman or chibueze ihuoma those are the two options.) and the staging was beautiful and the show was so good and haunting and aughh) ANYWAY. the POINT IS now my hadestown brainrotting has reached the point where i've started considering other st pairings for hadestown aus. ON TOP of the byler hadestown brainrot being at ASTRONOMICAL levels. i am being insane about hadestown and i am now making it everyone's problem including yours seeing as i'm in your inbox sorry
ok first of all never apologize for coming into my asks ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S ABOUT HADESTOWN???? HELLO????????
i'm so so happy that you enjoyed it!!! my hadestown brainrot was real this year and last, so i ABSOLUTELY GET THIS!!! it's coming on tour close to where i live, and i'm like... what if i just... what if.
also absolutely 100% believe that orpheus and eurydice would be so fun as a sapphic couple. my best friend, who i saw the show with, and i have literally had that same conversation lol!!! that's so cool that the lead was incredible though!!!
also okay i'm going to feed into the brainrot real quick with a couple i've thought of:
jancy - jonathan is eurydice and nancy is orpheus
lumax - max is OBVIOUSLY eurydice and lucas is orpheus
i am constantly thinking about byler hadestown. one of these days. ONE OF THESE DAYS I SWEAR.

/ polyamorous-elevenv2 here! so u did have a bad time, so I decided to try to work something for u. like part of the collab. I didn't start it, bc I asked if u have any idea for the prompt for that collab but u never responded. but well, anyway, let's start.
It wasn't anything unusual. Max was spending a lot of time lately with Lucas and El. It was normal. El was her best friend, and Lucas was her boyfriend. It was okay. They hang out a lot as a trio, they went to the movies, on ice creams, they even taught El the beautiful art of judging people together!
But today, well, today was different.
Last night, the trio of them decided to go to Lucas' house because it was still bright outside, even though rain was raining like crazy. They ended up on his couch, choosing one of the videotapes Lucas had in his home, and decided to watch it. It started with comedy movie, then they switched to horror one, and at the end they have chosen... romance, yeah. But it was funny. Characters were straight up dumb, but El was loving it, looking at the screen with bright eyes, making both Max and Lucas smile.
And Max didn't want to think about it then, but... it wasn't an 'El is such a silly friend' smile. No. It was a 'she's so cute, isn't she?' smile, that smile that usually is directed at people you love. Not friends. And she knew that Lucas loves her, stars know that she knows it, but-
No. Nope, not now. That's not a problem right now.
Max's problem right now is that she is in need of peeing.
Why won't she just go?
Because the night before, after watching a romance movie, they switched to some boring drama and,,, well,,, next thing Max know is waking up squished between El and Lucas' torsos.
The fuck is she supposed to do right now, and why her cheeks are so hot!?
/ your turn <3
woah… thats unexpected… i thought we will do lumax finds out about El bad habits (the one i message you) but nvm that i mean this one is sooo GOOD… idk umh okay. sorry here is my part😅
max is now stuck with this idiots who she love… like- her mind is saying get up you need to go and pee but her brain say stay because can you survive the guilt leaving them or waking them up? fv*k no right.
she ended up sitting there and hot faced while getting squish by her boyfriend and her gurl bestfriend who she think is more than that.
While shes like that trying to hold her gladbladder, the two moved to their left side making Max have some space and go to the bathroom… Max got confused and kinda sad because they moved she wanted to stay but she couldnt hold it anymore so she rushed to bathroom and after that she go back to the couch we're her two idiots sleeping.
its morning and she woke up having all the couch by herself with soft pillows in her head and a blanket on top of her. she wonder where Lucas and El, she than smell something heavinly coming from the kitchen she got up and goes to the kitchen, finding Lucas cooking and El helping him.
El and Lucas notice Max standing quietly at the corner, El called Max and greet her good morning while smilling cutely, Max feel her heartbeat getting faster, she smiled and also greet El. Lucas also greeted her and Max also greet him to, she sat next El and they start to chat, after 5 minutes the food is ready Lucas already handing them their food for El she have; chicken and waffle and a milk, for Max she have a pancakes,bacons and a coffee and for him he have ham and chess omelete and orange juice.
while he handle their plates he kissed Max forehead and said morning my love. Max blush and look like red as a tomato. The three sat and eat their breakfast that Lucas made.
Max never felt so loved in her life not until she met this two sunshine in her life... she will do anything just to see their cute and heavenly smile.
your turn @polyamorous-elevenv2 😊

What do you think that we might see in season five of Stranger Things? What would you like to see?
Eddie.
Sorry, sorry; @typicalopposite said it'd be funny and I can't say I disagree... but I also wanted to give an actual answer along the lines of my usual ones, so! Here goes:
I predict that Max will wake up (and I hope she does). Joyce and Hopper seem to be heading towards having their date actually happen, so I kinda hope that'll take place (though it'd probably be in one of the soft, around-the-edges moments at the end if so). I predict/hope that Erica will have a decent role in the season, as I absolutely love her. I hope that LuMax have some happier moments to make up for the absolute devastation of last season. (I confess that I'm not deadset on this one, as I have a bit of a contentious relationship with Lucas... I love Caleb's acting, but the character is very much not one of my favorites.)
I don't have many predictions about the state of the season's actual conflict, but I agree with most of the speculation that I've seen about Will getting Vecna'd. There's a definite connection there, at any rate, so there will likely be something similar happening, even if it's not exactly the "Vecna-ing" we saw in s4. Due to what I'm about to say in the next paragraph, I could also see Mike getting Vecna'd, for similar reasons as the above. To be honest, though, I have fewer predictions about the conflict that might arise than other people probably do; I'm more a character-analysis kinda person than a plot-analysis one.
I, personally, think that Byler is going to be realized. I'm not really a hardcore Byler shipper --- it's not one of my top ships, and I don't obsess over it the way I tend to fixate on others --- but I certainly ship them together in a passive way (e.g. I certainly think that there's reciprocated affection there). And I've seen enough clues --- in the acting, the writing, the cinematography (my beloved), etc. --- that I think there's at least a good chance that it'll happen. I hope it does, even though I don't have a personal investment in it; not only do I hope it happens for all the many people who are invested in it happening, but I also think it's what would do justice to the storyline as it's been developed and to a large portion of the viewership. (And those who would be offended by it going canon are, imo, no big loss). Also, Will deserves all the happiness, and, if he thinks that's Mike, then I hope Byler becomes canon.
And as for what I want to see but recognize it might not happen:
I hope that El gets a decent character arc. I've heard theories/requests that she is going to/should die, and just??? What? Why? I mean, she's another character that I don't tend to like much --- again, acting is good; character is not my favorite --- but she deserves better than she's gotten. She definitely deserves happiness, and I very much hope that her happiness comes in the form of her own happiness and not a relationship. I think Milven is unhealthy, and she deserves better. I want to see more of the friendship --- or, if you prefer, romance, but I, personally, see it more as a friendship --- between El and Max. And I hope deeply that she doesn't just get shoehorned into some fate that isn't good for her.
I was torn on whether to put this up in "I think it will happen" or not, and I don't really know where it belongs; my inclination towards pessimism knocked it down here, though: I hope that Robin gets to have a good, well-developed relationship blossom. Sapphic relationships are few and far between, and I only rarely see well-developed ones; also, I love Robin and she deserves happiness. s4 makes me a bit leery that this will happen, though, I must confess. (Also, I've seen compelling stuff for both Rockie and Ronance, so I really don't know which I prefer.) I just want her happy!
I hope that Steve does not get together with Nancy. Indeed, for the most part, I hope he doesn't end up in a relationship at all. (There's one exception to follow in the paragraph below.) I've said many times that he and Robin are chaotic platonic soulmates and I stand by it; additionally, he's got a better family than ever before in Dustin and the others. All of these relationships are better than sticking him with some random love interest --- or, worse, making him "crawl backwards" to Nancy --- and... idk, I don't know how to put it into words, but I mostly hope that he just has a happy life with his found family and doesn't get stuffed into some romance for the sake of a romance that wouldn't do justice to his character.
And, finally, to follow the Duffers' leads and finish with a callback to where I started: I definitely want Eddie to come back, and I very much hope that, if he does come back, he doesn't then die again right after. I admit that I haven't seen much lately about how he might come back, so I don't know if what I'm about to say is still accurate, but... the Kas theory seemed pretty compelling --- especially given the Netflix icon release --- and there's definitely a pretty easy avenue for that to happen without then killing him. (Explaining what I mean takes six paragraphs, so I'm not going to go into it here; luckily, the reason I know how long it takes is because I already made a post to that effect! So, click here if you're interested!) Also, I have my own personal desire for how that could happen --- I just described it in a post here --- and I just think it'd be Very Cool. (Also, if this happens, even the intellectual fear that it likely won't happen can't stop my heart from hoping that Steddie becomes a thing.)
I hope that's a decent answer to your question! Thank you!

20 questions for fic writers
Tagged by lovelies @aroeddiediaz and @im-overstimulated-and-im-sad
How many works do you have on ao3?
5
What's your total ao3 word count?
45,372
What fandoms do you write for?
I am currently writting for 9-1-1, 9-1-1: Lone Star, Suits and Stranger Things. I want to write some Captain America aka Steve Rogers and Wednesdays fan-fictions.
Top 5 fics by kudos:
I only have five fics up so all just order them from most to least
manic pixie dream prince
little boy don't you cry, cause the child in you is still alive
Let Me Be Me
he is a liability so hard to please but, he’s a forest fire
don’t have to be sorry for leaving and growing up
Do you respond to comments?
Yes, I always response.
What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
I haven't written an ending in a while and I write mostly multi-chapter fan-fictions. But so far the most angst fan-fiction am writing are little boy don't you cry, cause the child in you is still alive and manic pixie dream prince.
What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
I like to write hurt comfort with lots of agnst and fluffy. My thing is if I am going to traumatize my comfort characters they better live happliy ever after at the end of them
Do you get hate on fics?
Not, really. There was this one rude comment some made on here tumblr about my suits omegaverse fan-fiction but I deleted their comment and blocked them
Do you write smut?
I have written sex scenes but I do not think they would be classified as smut, reading smut and then trying to actually write it are two very different experiences.
Craziest crossover?
I don't really write cross overs, maybe one day I will write a 9-1-1 and 9-1-1: Lone Star Fan-Fiction
Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I know of.
Have you ever had a fic translated?
No I have not.
Have you co-written a fic before?
No
All time favorite ship?
Byler, Buddie, Lumax, Tarlos, Stucky (If you know me you know how much I love the best friends to lovers troupe.)
What's a wip you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?
Probably manic pixie dream prince, I was in a very different place when I started writing it and my mental health was not very good. I feel like I would just like to re-write and re-work it.
What are your writing strengths?
I am really do are writing beautiful description of the setting and people. All the little details. I will write so much description I sometimes won't get to the dialogue.
What are your writing weaknesses?
Probably outlining, I just keep everything up in my head and just grammar and structure.
Thoughts on dialogue in another language?
I am like to include Spanish in my 9-1-1 fan-fiction but I don't if I trust myself.
First fandom you wrote in?
I think I might have been Camp Rock. I think one of the character got amnesia.
Favorite fic you've written?
My favorite is probably "little boy don't you cry, cause the child in you is still alive."
Tagging But Not Pressure @anewkindofme @lochnesswriter @kingofdarkness00 @missmagooglie @lemonzestywrites
