melyzard replied to this post:

You know, given that P&P was published in 1813 before the 1696 window tax was repealed, she might just be admiring both the outdoors AND the expansive and numerous windows themselves. I mean, good windows really were a big sign of wealth and consequence until 1851 when the tax was finally repealed. But yeah,also,yeah, she's definitely more interested in the outdoors than the Great Chimney Places of the Wealthy

It's true that windows were a major status symbol at the time and long before, but I don't think Elizabeth much cares about that, in all honesty! That is the relevant historical context for Mr Collins's rhapsodies over Rosings' windows, for instance:

she could not be in such raptures as Mr Collins expected the scene to inspire, and was but slightly affected by his enumeration of the windows in front of the house, and his relation of what the glazing altogether had originally cost Sir Lewis de Bourgh

He's silly but he's not mistaken in identifying the windows as a significant status symbol (which without that cultural context can seem like just another Mr Collins absurdity). But Elizabeth specifically, as a person, is consistently not very interested in these kinds of status symbols (though she knows they're there and understands what they signify). She is attracted to natural beauty and unassuming elegance, which is the overwhelming note at Pemberley:

She had never seen a place for which nature had done more, or where natural beauty had been so little counteracted by an awkward taste.

Even when it does come to Pemberley's expensive interior, she focuses on the aesthetic dissimilarity to Rosings and, even more, about what is suggested about Darcy's relationships to other people dependent on him (Elizabeth's takeaway from the pretty interior decorating project for Georgiana is "He is certainly a good brother" and not how much disposable income this represents, say).

The fuller quote when she first approaches the window is pretty clear about what Elizabeth is focusing on, IMO:

Elizabeth, after slightly surveying it, went to a window to enjoy its prospect. The hill, crowned with wood, from which they had descended, receiving increased abruptness from the distance, was a beautiful object. Every disposition of the ground was good; and she looked on the whole scene, the river, the trees scattered on its banks, and the winding of the valley, as far as she could trace it, with delight. As they passed into other rooms, these objects were taking different positions; but from every window there were beauties to be seen.

Chainsawman and Hedgehog Dilemma

Chainsaw man main themes deal heavily with human connection, loneliness, and relationships. Many characters feel isolated, alienated, and lack strong relationships with parental figures or their peers despite being surrounded by people. Asa is a prime case of a victim of hedgehog’s theory. 

So lets start off with what hedgehogs dilemma is. Since not all of us are insufferable Evangelion fans like me. Hedgehogs dilemma is depicted by Arthur Schopenhauer and tells the story of porcupines who huddle together during the wintertime to stay warm. The porcupines are hurt by each others quills so they choose to remain at a distance. This echoes the human experience where people choose to stay away from due to fear of intimacy or fear of getting hurt. However, this only ends up hurting us in the long run since we are incapable of forming basic human relationships. 

Asa is tormented by the loss of her family and she now lacks strong relationships with anyone. She puts on this guise that she is above friendships and relationships but it’s defense mechanism to prevent other people from getting close. She is tormented by her past and she has been a victim of people letting her down such as the loss of her precious cat Bon Bon. 

Even when she starts making her first friend ever, the distance still remains. It's apparent in this panel. The physical distance she puts between herself and Yuko illustrates the barriers in Asa’s heart that prevent her from getting close to people.

After the disappearance of her first and only friend, Asa’s hypothetical quills once again appear making her afraid of connection. I think this affects her budding relationship with Denji. She doesn’t trust him not to hurt her. So she is cruel, callous, and cold towards him and tries her very best to not show her vulnerabilities to him. However, Denji is a caring character and tries to break down these walls for her. 

But this doesn’t last as Denji standing her up on her date just confirms her proclivity to hedgehog’s dilemma. She tried to let someone in, to get close to someone, but in the end. He let her down just like everyone else. She once again puts on her guise of an unbothered girl who has no need for human connection. But for a lonely and sad girl like Asa, the cure her problems is in fact connection. 

Asa deeply craves human connection and everything in her life has dissuaded her from making these connections. To be close to someone is to get hurt in the end and all Asa is met with is disappointment after disappointment. She is tired and exhausted with all the pain and suffering and keeping people at an arm’s length is a guaranteed way to not let that happen again. 

I think chapter 127 moment is a pivotal moment for Asa. She can let go of this fear of human connection and getting caught by the “quills” of other people. Or continue to remain in this isolated state, yearning for connection.

I want to end this with a quote by Zizek. “True love is not afraid of getting too close and it is ready to assume the loved object in all its reality and preserve its sublime status.” Hopefully our dear asaden can embrace this sentiment

I've been going through the 'gayest moment of Harry' thread and first of all there are hardly any quotes related to HL and then I've seen these and am not sure if they are true or what to make out of these and if I consider them true then it negates all that I thought about H and larrie say that he is been with louis since forever and if that's true how come these exist??

https://twitter.com/ass_it_was/status/1664634477358854144?t=kn0oJiR38IGpLA8vFIlZvQ&s=19

https://twitter.com/chesthairrry/status/1664603106464915460?t=ElSI2lD_BkEVyFP6s8cVSw&s=19

Am just trying to make sense of these.. I actually don't believe HL have been together all these years(I hope they would) but I don't think that actually is the case.. could've been on and off is what make sense.. but do you ever feel we think they are too ideal and when something like these come up, we brush it off saying these are fake or be in denial.. 😕😕😕

But H songs are soooo contradicting to all these.. am not sure if I made my question clear but yea.. do you think their profession allows them to be exclusive and together??

Hi Love!

So- I think that both of these do fit a narrative- maybe not the typical one that we think of when it comes to H, but they do still fit a narrative! It serves to remove us from the idea of Harry and Lou as a long term monogamous couple.

That being said- I think that due to the very nature of H & L's relationship, and how private / hidden it's been since the beginning, we will never truly know if they have been together, or if they took breaks etc.

But- to answer your question at the end - I do think that their profession would allow them to be monogamous & together currently- plenty of people have jobs that are more long distance and are exclusive!

Primal Scream have released their new album, Come Ahead, today (November 8), and the band's frontman Bobby Gillespie has begun talking to people about what he really thinks of it. Long known for saying something that was bound to outrage someone, Gillespie recently aired his views on social class and where he sits in the grand scheme of things, perhaps landing a blow at Blur's Alex James. In an essay to accompany Come Ahead, Gillespie speaks candidly about his complicated relationship with social class. He describes his experience as being "both inside and outside of " and hints that it's something he wrestles with personally. Gillespie, who grew up in a working-class environment, has maintained a certain awareness of his roots even as he rose to fame. LivePict.com, CC BY-SA 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0, via Wikimedia Commons Speaking to The i, he elaborates on this further, "Wrestles' might be overstating the case, but if you're in a successful band, you get invited to things, meet people from various backgrounds, and experience different aspects of life. It's not like you're trying to be like that guy from Blur who's socializing with people like David Cameron and, what's his name, the guy who does the driving? . As he told Life and Style, "I get that. That's obvious social climbing going on there, right? I don't mean it like that. It's just being aware," he adds. Then there are people such as James, who was rubbing shoulders with the biggest people in the world as Gillespie was growing up on his farm. His background influences his approach. Asked if he ever feels any guilt about his working-class roots in the context of his success, Gillespie's answer is refreshingly straightforward. "No, not really. We wanted to be rock'n'roll stars so that we wouldn't have to work in a factory or be told what to do," he explains. This, for him, meant that it was not a fight for privileged status or distance from one's background; rather it was a way of avoiding the life of limited choices. But, his father's words also go into his thought process: "My dad always said to me, 'While the money's there, you've got to take it, because you're not promised tomorrow.'" In a way, he understands that he is proceeding with his father's words; he views an opportunity as something positive rather than realizing the conflict present in a situation. Already receiving rave reviews, including an NME four-star rating-"funk meets punk with grenades in the trunk," Come Ahead has promised to combine the personal and political: Gillespie's sharp, observant words with the crafted sound to inspire action. Made with the help of David Holmes, Come Ahead is the first album from Primal Scream for eight years and it's more a clarion call than a dancing invitation. NME quoted, "Personal and political, Bobby Gillespie and co's David Holmes-assisted first album in eight years wants us to dance our way to justice.". The band also announced a UK and Ireland tour to start in the early part of next year, coinciding with the release of the album. This tour will stage 14 performances across both countries, starting off with an opening gig at the Beacon venue in Bristol on March 31, 2025. Fans will get a good run of live dates throughout April. As Come Ahead comes down to earth and Primal Scream gets ready for the tour, the words of Gillespie ring out not just as a critique of celebrity culture but as a reminder to keep feet on the ground, even when it gets that far with fame. His musings on social class and authenticity add a unique perspective to an industry where, it seems, "social climbing" is at times the game. With his new album and ensuing live shows, Gillespie reveals that Primal Scream's sound and message grow with time, forcing listeners to think and feel their way toward something a little more meaningful.

Hindi Quotes: Delving Into the Depths of Emotion

Emotions are the foundation of our existence, shaping our actions, relationships, and inner landscapes. Expressing these emotions through language, particularly in Hindi, is a modern-day art form. In a world where connectivity is unlimited, expressing oneself on social media platforms has become a form of self-expression. For those who prefer to express their feelings in Hindi, the Emotional Status in Hindi journey is a journey of connection.

Emotional status updates in Hindi provide a space for sharing personal emotions, bridging distances and fostering empathy. These updates, ranging from despair to ecstasy, offer wisdom and inspiration. However, words alone cannot fully capture the complexity of human emotion, so emotional quotes in Hindi are often a valuable resource.

Hindi's emotional quotes, sourced from ancient poets and contemporary thinkers, serve as beacons of hope and comfort in times of darkness.

4 Advantages Of Digital Signs: Leverage High-Tech, Low-Cost Advertising

Compared to most traditional signs, dynamic digital signs are a bit more of an investment, but they can also yield much higher returns.

If you need help weighing the costs and benefits of adding digital signs to your on-premise advertising system, you’ve come to the right place.

Read on to learn 4 unique advantages digital signs have over traditional displays, or call (314)-726-5500 to speak directly with a digital sign expert in St. Louis, MO.

4 Reasons To Invest In Custom Digital Signs In 2023

1.    Leverage The Marketing Power Of Dynamic Displays

Adding some movement to your marketing message is a great way to draw eyes and stand out in a crowded “static” signscape.

In one study by the Journal of Interactive Marketing, researchers found “a positive relationship between levels of animation and amounts of attention allocated to ads,” with animated ads consistently outperforming static ads in eye tracking experiments (Kuisma et al., 2010, p. 272).

While some traditional sign types (e.g. flags) incorporate movement, digital signs do so much more effectively, allowing you to display “dynamic multimedia presentations containing audio, video, and animated content” (Kuisma et al., 2010, p. 265).

2.    Light Up Your Brand Message For Better Legibility

Another key advantage of digital signs over traditional displays is the fact that they’re illuminated.

As research by the Interdisciplinary Journal of Signage and Wayfinding revealed, “recognition distances tend to increase as sign luminance increases” (Bullough, 2017). In fact, the effect of illumination was so pronounced in one experiment that it overcame the negative effects of a 50% reduction in font size, with illuminated messages displayed in 6-point font being just as readable as unlit messages written in 12-point  (Bullough, 2017).

3.    Foster Better Brand Impressions With Cutting-edge Sign Tech

The American Shopper Study tells us that more than 40% of people regularly use signs as the basis of their brand impressions and quality judgments, and more than 85% of people think signage communicates the character or personality of the advertiser.

By incorporating digital signs into your on-premise advertising system, you not only impress audiences with high-quality dynamic displays—you also tell your audience that your business is up-to-date, tech-savvy, and relevant in the Digital Age. If your business targets Millennials and Gen Z, or operates in technology or a tech-adjacent industry, this is exactly the kind of brand image you need to cultivate.

4.    Invest In Reprogrammable Digital Sign Solutions To Save Big

Digital signs aren’t just reusable; they’re reprogrammable. If you can send an email/text or update a social media status, you can learn how to create custom sign messages and dynamic displays for your business on-demand. This makes your marketing system much more agile, and it can save your company thousands of dollars in sign production costs over the long-term, more than making up for the purchase price and operating costs.

"Will they?" "Won't They?" Don't Worry My Loves, They Will ;)

Scroll down to see an analysis of who the heck the duffers could be calling a "will they" "won't they" couple. The first section is basically just context with some of my thoughts so feel free to read that as well! <3

On November 5th, a day before Stranger Things Day, the official Stranger Things twitter posted a thread of tweets replacing Steve's iconic 'boobies' quote (I have no idea how else to describe it lol) with various fandom inside jokes and comments like that. Here is the order/content of the tweets!

Okay so, the ships/people mentioned in the previous tweets were Steve Harrington, Lumax (WE LOVE LUMAX, Lucas + Max), Erica, Will Byers, The Byers, JOPPER (WE LOOOVVVVEEEEE, Joyce + Hopper), Murray, Dustin (DUSTYBUUUUNNN), AN ANONYMOUS COUPLE WHICH I WILL TALK ABOUT, and then El.

I find it very interesting that they put the mystery couple directly before el, it's kind of like establishing Els independence for the upcoming season!

Now, what in the world is a "Will they" "Wont they" couple, and who could the duffers be describing?

So this is my understanding of the basic characteristics of a "will they" "wont they" couple;

Romantic chemistry shared by both people

Relationship is threatened by all of the following;

Uncertainty

External obstacles

Internal strife

Romantic tension that remains unbroken or unresolved

Now let's compare this list to different st couples the duffers could be referring to, I'll try and remember all of them but there are a lot so lmk if I miss any! To check the criteria I will name a couple or ship, say their status and go through the criteria as it relates to each! Each couple must meet all the requirements of a "will they" "won't they" ship to be considered as such.

Which ships will I be counting? I mean, the criteria are automatically biased based on my perception of the show, so I'm trying to use solid canon evidence that the couple either is romantically involved or at least one person in the ship is romantically interested in the other. Both characters also have to be a part of the main teams of s4 like either the California (mike will el Johnathan argyle), Hawkins (Dustin steve robin Lucas max nancy erica), or Russia crew (joyce hopper neil murray). (I'm excluding Eddie because he's... well... not a contender anymore). For example, Milkvan would count as a valid ship to consider because , they are dating, but a ship like Dustin and Lucas wouldn't count (only for what I'm trying to do here, ofc I think every ship is valid as long as its respectful, everyone has their own headcanons and I support all of your perceptions of the show ofc <3) because there is no canonical evidence to support this being a possible romantic pairing in the show. Anyway, let's get started, if you have any questions on how I determined if a ship could be considered or not please feel free to message me, I love talking to all of you! Oh also I should clarify as well that I'm only counting ships that have both parties alive (with the exception of max who we aren't sure is alive or not)

Couples I'm choosing not to include (but still meet criteria to be considered): Duzie, dustin and max, robin and vickie (because vickie isn't a part of the main groups and I don't think that their relationship has built up long enough to be considered a wtwtc, however, if you disagree id love to talk about it!)

Color code: True False Is a wtwtc is not a wtwtc

COUPLE Jancy (Johnathan Byers and Nancy Wheeler)

STATUS Dating; They have been dating since season 2 when they got together after an interrogation from Murray. In season 4 they struggled with maintaining the relationship due to the long distance, but when they reunited this was mostly resolved, still some stuff was left up in the air with stancy and all.

CRITERIA (1) Yes there is romantic chemistry (2.1) No, there is no uncertainty with the validity of their relationship. While they may be struggling to figure out how to maintain their relationship, there is no uncertainty about whether or not they are in a romantic relationship. (2.2) Yes, there were external obstacles such as stancy but those obstacles have been resolved and are no longer affecting the couple. For example, will going missing and steve and nancys relationship count, but both of those obstacles have been resolved (2.3) No, there was no notable internal conflict besides shared trauma and anxiety about approaching their feelings for each other. (3) While there is romantic tension between them, the tension was resolved by them getting together and becoming a couple officially

While there is romantic chemistry, the ship did not fulfill all requirements to be considered a "will they" "wont they" couple

COUPLE Stancy (Steve Harrington and Nancy Wheeler)

STATUS Ex's; In season one, Nancy and Steve were in a relationship. They broke up after Nancy called their love bull shit at a high school party. There is some romantic tension again in s4, though it doesn't really go anywhere, at least directly.

CRITERIA (1) Yes, there is romantic tension. Especially in season 4, there are numerous moments of sexual tension. (2.1) Yes, there is uncertainty with the validity of the relationship. However Steve wants to have his "six little nuggets" with Nancy, but we as an audience can visually see how that future doesn't excite her. Steve still loves nancy but nancy does not love steve, no matter how much she hopes she does. (2.2) Yes, there is an external obstacle, Nancy and Johnathan are a couple so that is an obstacle that would get between them from being together. (2.3) No, there are not a ton of moments of internal conflict. Steve potentially likes Nancy again and Nancy doesn't feel the same IMO but even considering that, there is no internal conflict that is a barrier between a platonic or a romantic relationship. (3) No, there is no unresolved sexual tension, as they have already been in a relationship

Jancy does not qualify as a will they won't they couple, they have already been in a relationship, and the romantic tension was already broken so there's nothing new romantically to build up that hasn't already been done.

COUPLE Lumax (Lucas Sinclair and Max Mayfield)

STATUS Ex's, Romantic interests, kinda unclear lol; Max and Lucas got together at the end of season 2, when they kissed at the Snowball. They were dating throughout season 3, however, in the beginning of season 4, we see max isolating herself from the party, and therefore we as an audience understand that Lucas and Max were not together romantically anymore. It wasn't until we see them at billys grave and we also see Max and Lucas together at the Creel house (Lucas asking Max on a movie date) when we finally see them express romantic interest in each other again Not super related but this is a parallel to Jopper with Enzos and the fact that they couldn't go on their date because of multiple obstacles (like Joyce standing hop up to figure out why her magnets weren't working, and hop going to Russia causing everyone to think he was not alive anymore)

CRITERIA (1) Yes, there is romantic tension between Lucas and Max (2.1) While there is uncertainty with what Lumax's future will look like, there is no uncertainty with whether the romantic feelings they have are requited or if they have the potential to be in a romantic relationship because they already have been in a romantic relationship. (2.2) Yes, there is one big external obstacle which is max literally being in a coma lmaooo (2.3) Yes, there are internal obstacles Lucas and Max struggle with regarding their romantic feelings towards each other, especially Max. Max isolates herself after she experiences the trauma of witnessing what happened to billy and she experiences symptoms of vecna's curse, basically she's being vecna'd and that causes her to suffer mentally and therefore she isolates herself from the party, especially Lucas. (3) While there is unbroken romantic tension that came up in s4, Max and Lucas already dated so there is no new romantic tension that could be potentially broken here. "will they" or "won't they" couples are typically built up over numerous seasons, so the previous romantic history between them would disqualify them from being considered a "will they" "won't they" couple.

Lumax can not be considered a "will they" "won't they" couple because they do not fulfill all of the criteria to be considered a wtwtc, and even if they did I don't think that lumax would be the wtwtc they were talking about because they were already mentioned in Stranger Writers' thread as an official ship

COUPLE Mileven (Mike Wheeler and El Hopper)

We already know that Mileven is not a "will they" "wont they" couple because they are already in a romantic relationship, but I'm going to pretend like I don't already know that because its good practice for me to be able to be more open to other perspectives of the show and also I think its important in general to analyze the dynamics of their relationship anyway :)

STATUS Dating; (I am a passionate byler shipper so I will try and be as factual as I possibly can) Mike and El kissed towards the end of season one but didn't get together again until the end of season two when they finally went to the snowball together. El dumped his ass in season 3, Mike said "I love her and I can't lose her again" in a heated fight with the group, and they got back together at the end of the season when El said she loved him too and kissed him. In season 4 we see them struggle with managing the distance as well as discovering their own identities. Mike has trouble saying 'I love you' to el (he is discovering his sexuality simultaneously... regarding his feelings for will), and El is not receiving the type of love she wants and needs from mike. At the end of the season, we see mike and will stand together and El stands alone, which foreshadows an independent El for season 5.

CRITERIA (1) This is something that is super controversial in the fandom, and as a byler supporter I personally don't think that there is any romantic tension between mike and eleven, but I will try and look at it from multiple perspectives.

As a byler supporter, what I see is a longing for romantic feelings, especially from mike. Mike wants to fit in and his role models are nancy and his parents, both of which have been in toxic relationships and fake love (stancy) and that is all mike knows about romantic feelings. In season one people continue to accuse mike of having romantic feelings for el. When Mike first meets el, he treats her kind of how he would treat any other peer, like showing her his toys and being nice and letting her sleep in his basement. The romantic implications of that don't even cross his mind until Lucas and Dustin point them out. There is a huge difference between the was Lucas and Dustin interact with el, and the way mike does. Lucas and Dustin think, oh this is a girl, omg a girl in mikes basement. But mike is focused on finding will, and El could lead him closer to finding him. Mike claims that he has always loved el, but he literally tried to get her to go back to where she came from in their first few moments together. Like we don't see Mike actually push for El to stay until she recognizes will in that photo. Lucas, dustin, even his older sister Nancy all ask him if he likes el romantically. I think this gets in his head a lot, which causes him to kiss her at the end of the season. In season two at the end of the season we see mike sulking at the snow ball. I think mainly this kind of had to do with the fact that will was out dancing with a girl and he felt jealous feelings but didn't understand why or what that meant. That is my perception because of the headcanons I have of byler but if I'm looking at it from a mileven perspective then it was because he assumed she wasn't coming. Personally, I don't think this is why because he knew she was back in town and she was okay and there must have been some communication about whether or not eleven was actually going to the snow ball but either way she showed up and we see his face change. Then right after we see El walk in and I think he uses the shame from his jealousy to motivate him to do romantic things with el, but that could just be my opinion because thats what I believe in my head lol. For el, she only really starts expressing romantic interest in mike after she starts watching soap operas. Mike kissed her in s1, and when she sees couples kissing on the tv in s2, she has a realization that maybe that was something couples do so that means that she likes mike... right? Or does she have this thought because she doesn't have any other exposure to what romance actually looks like? Its an interesting question to dive into, and I'll go in more detail in a future post if anyone would be interested in that. I think something that is very telling is the mileven breakup in s3. This scene has been analyzed over and over again, but in general, the way she says "i dump your ass" so easily and then laughs about it on the bus with max is very telling. Like idk about you but if I was supposedly in love with someone it wouldn't be that easy to just dump them and then giggle about it a few minutes later. In s4 we see el being very inauthentic, like for example she looks at the note on the flowers that says "from mike" and then puts on a fake smile. And over the season we kind of see this fake smile start to break down until she stops talking to mike altogether at the end of the season. At the end of the season El knows that Mike can't give her the love she needs. The fact that he says I love you, which is what El wanted to hear, but she still gives mike the silent treatment after his confession and we don't see them talk for the rest of the season? Like I love you is what she thought she needed but it didn't fix anything because she knew they were just empty words said in the heat of the moment, just like how he said "I love her" in the heat of the moment in season 3. There is soooooo much to talk about, especially in season 4 and season 3, so let me know if you want more of this because I have a lot to say but I should get back to the topic of this post <3

(2.1) No, there is no current uncertainty regarding the validity of their relationship. As an audience, no matter if there is a deeper meaning or not, we know that el has said I love you to mike and mike has said I love you to el. No matter if those words are true or not, we as an audience are expected to believe this as canon and therefore their romantic feelings for each other are not uncertain after Mike said I love you to el. (2.2) Yes there have been external obstacles, however, at the end of season 4 these are all resolved to our knowledge. El is back in hawkins with mike. The only other obstacle I can think of is will, but neither el nor mike are aware of his feelings for mike, so I would save this for a potential season 5 obstacle. (2.3) Yes, there are internal obstacles. Mike is having a hard time saying I love you to el because of internal hardships regarding his sexuality, and el is not receiving the love that she wants or deserves from mike. This is the opposite of a will they won't they couple, this is incompatibility and its obvious. (3) No, there is no unresolved tension. Mike and el have both said I love you, kissed, and had a relationship, there is no tension that needs resolving anymore, if anything their relationship is getting boring at this point IMO (no hate to milevens at all you all are totally allowed to love your ship <3)

No, Mileven is not a "will they" "wont they" couple because they have already broken the tension that is needed to be considered one and they are already in a relationship

COUPLE Jopper (Joyce Byers and Jim Hopper)

STATUS Dating; I think Jopper has always been a will they wont they couple. There has been romantic tension with them since the beginning. Joyce has always been comfortable just walking over to hopper, speaking her mind. We see them start to form an emotional bond over season one. Then throughout the seasons, they get closer which leads up to hopper asking Joyce out on a date and they plan to go to Enzo’s but the plan changes when hopper disappears to Russia at the end of season 3. Season 4 they reunite in Russia and release all the sexual tension by making out in the warehouse thing. It’s a lot more beautiful than that but I have a migraine and can’t think of a poetic way to write that lol.

CRITERIA (1) Yes, there is soooo much sexual and romantic tension between joyce and hopper!!! Literally in every single season, especially season 3 and the end of season 4! Theres no other explanation needed :) (2.1) No, there is no uncertenty with whether Joyce and Hopper like each other romantically or not. We know that both of them like each other and they both have expressed romantic interest in each other. (2.2) I mean besides bob in season 2, and basically the entire world ending, there arent too many outside obstacles currently at the end of s4. Hopper was like kinda gone in another continent for most of the last season though so that counts. (2.3) Yes, there are internal struggles. Hopper struggles with grief and for most of season one and two joyce was emotionally unavailable due to the trauma of losing her son and people telling her she was crazy. Both of these characters love each other, but they are both so scared of losing the ones they love that they love, they cant bare to give all of their love to each other just to have It ripped from them all over again.

This is off topic but this inspired me to talk about loss throughout the show, which is centered around loss. Thats what its all about. The first ten minutes show a a family, a friendgroup, even a whole town that is greatly affected by the loss of a boy. Especially in season 4, I think that the major theme throughout the show was the fear of loss, especially around the idea of love whether it be platonic love or something more. Max distanced herself from the group, partially because she was afraid of causing even more pain and loss than she felt she already had. El was so scared of losing mike, like we can see her desperately trying to be worthy of his love. She wrote to him like every day, she lied to seem cooler than she was, she faked smiles to make sure everything was perfect. Mike is probably the one most affected by the fear of loss in my opinion. His best friend went missing and he thought he was dead, then el went missing, then will almost died again in season 2, then el almost died in season 4, like the amount of times mike has had to deal with the idea of his friends leaving him is very sad. I think a lot of this stems from his childhood. Will is also scared of losing others, especially his sister and brother and mike

(3) No, the tension was broken when they kissed in season 4 lmao. Also when they kept talking about their date. This was a hard couple to debate on, especially since they were a will they wont they couple in the past, but I think because they already broke that tension, and its canon that they have romantic feelings for each other and they have done romantic things together, there is no uncertainty if they like each other more than platonically. I think that jopper is like the original "will they" "wont they" couple, and then that romantic tension was broken and now they're just a slow burn romance! Ugh I love them so much I could talk about them for hours :) If anyone wants to talk about them id love to!

This was a difficult one to determine but since there is no uncertainty with whether their romantic attraction is requited, and the romantic attraction has been acted on, I do not think that they can be considered a "will they" "wont they" because like, they already DID if that makes sense!

COUPLE BYLERRR! (Mike Wheeler and Will Byers)

STATUS Best friends, potential love intrests, gay as hell; Its currently canon that Will is in love with Mike (confirmed by noah schnapp), however it is not yet canon if mike is romantically interested in will (even though it couldn't be more obvious). There is sooooooooo much romantic tension between the two, not to mention the COUNTLESS parallels between them and other couples from the show. Not only just from stranger things, but actual canon gay couples from OTHER SHOWS! Like the duffers put a lot of thought into their parallels. Its truly beautiful, like they are the best slow burn gay romance in all of tv history. Its undeniable.

CRITERIA (1) YES OH MY GOD! There is soooooo much romantic chemistry between the two! Like especially from mike.

BEST FRIENDS DONT LOOK AT EACH OTHER LIKE THAT! tHEY JUST DONT! THEY ARE BLUSHING LIKE NO BODIES BUISSNESS AND THEY ARE LOOKING AT EACH OTHERS LIPS AND THIS INTIMATE MOMENT IS BROKEN SUDDENLY, JUST LIKE SO MANY INTIMATE MOMENTS IN THE SHOW!

Like, come on... theres just so much evidence that they are in love, not to mention all of the "intimate moments" and parallels to other couples. I could go on and on! (2.1) Yesssss there is uncertainty and loooaadddssss of it! The beautiful thing about byler is its up to interpretation. Neither of them just comes out and says out front they are in love, will uses el as a cover for his own feelings, and mike just is scared to be vulnerable about how he feels because of external and internal homophobia. Both of their romantic feelings for each other are shown not only through just words and physical communication, but also through symbols, set, lighting, music, etc. Their story is left up to interpretation because that's just accurate to the time. We are unsure if both of them love each other canonically, but we can feel it, that's the beauty of the show. We know that will is in love with mike. Thats canon. But mike, mike's story is so accurate to the struggle of growing up as a gay kid, and many adults who have grown up in the 80s have said that they identify themselves with mike and wills story! Like as a queer person who grew up with similar feelings to mike and will, its just beautiful to watch their love story unfold despite all of the obstacles they face. (2.2) EXTERNAL OBSTACLES! SO. MANY. EXTERNAL. OBSTACLES. I mean, this is a gay love story about two gay boys in the 1980's, a time when homophobia was experiencing a spike due to the HIV crisis and hate crimes and everything of that sort. And not to mention that mike is in a relationship with wills sister, so even if mike broke up with el, will getting together with his sisters ex boyfriend is kind of a betrayal to her so there's a sense of guilt or shame that's added on top of the feelings he is already having. And for mike, he has to navigate the fact that he cant say I love you to his girlfriend because he already loves will. Also he doesn't know will loves him so he assumes that he has no shot with him anyway. Not to mention all of the supernatural struggles that come with their feelings for each other. Like in season three and two, a lot of the times mike and will have an intimate moment he then feels vecna. Also the fact that will is literally being brainwashed by vecna for like half the season. Also the bullying in seasons one and two when the boys, especially will, have been called homophobic slurs their whole life. This causes shame and guilt for who they are, which makes them hesitant to acknowledge their feelings for each other.

(2.3) INTERNAL OBSTICLESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! SOOOOO MANY! First of all internalized homophobia, which mike sufferers from a lot! Its shown throughout the show in so many ways. First of all, mikes relationship with el is kind of an avoidance tactic for mike, as well as a safety tactic. He uses his relationship with el to convince himself that he is in fact straight and he does everything he can to be perceived as straight, even by himself. For will, there is so much shame that has been thrown at him his whole life. Not only from his father but his peers. He has been bullied his entire life and so has mike, they have experienced homophobia their whole lives, which has caused them to believe that they themselves are the problem. And there's a whole other struggle that especially affects mike, which is heteronormativity. The minute he showed el any kindness at all, everyone started asking him if he liked el and were calling her his bf and stuff like that. Hes lived in this headspace that in order to be seen as 'normal', he has to be straight. Like he thinks that getting a girlfriend and giving up on the 'childish' things he enjoyed as a kid like dnd is all a part of growing up. There's just so many internal struggles with both of them, especially in regard to their romantic feelings for each other. (3) No, the romantic tension has not been broken yet! There is sooooo much tension and so many scenes where they seem like they are about to kiss or about to confess their feelings, but they are interrupted by a person, a noise, etc. They are so in love I love them so muchhhh! Like for example the bedroom scene when they're like "I didn't say that" and mike is like "you didn't have to". Like that scene is a direct parallel to another gay ship that KISS after they exchange their little "cool", "cool". But for byler that tension is interrupted by the van arriving, like there are so many examples of this throughout the show! I could go on and on about byler so let me know if you want me to discuss this more :)

Yes, Byler is a "will they" "wont they" couple! While many of the st couples have fit under the "will they" "wont they" umbrella at some point in the show, the unknown romantic aspect of their relationships have all been resolved except for byler! And even if jopper counted as a "will they" "'wont they" couple, the st twt still mentioned them in the thread before they mentioned the will they wont they couple, so it wouldn't make sense for jopper to be referred to twice in the same way.

So to kind of summarize all of those words, byler is the only "will they" "wont they" couple in present-day stranger things canon, which therefore is EVEN MORE evidence that byler will be end game. Especially because the way the line is used in the first place, like steve saying that Vickie obviously likes women, and then that being true in the end, it shows how byler is also true and it will happen! I hope all of this made sense! Sorry this is pretty delayed after the thread came out, I've been so busy and also trying to add to this post as much as I could over the past few weeks haha. If you have any fun things to add or stuff you want to discuss please do! I always love talking to you all. As always, much love to everyone <3
