I can't talk to 'certain people' (this post is targeted) about media anymore.

It's okay to ship non-canon

People don't just ship characters to "see them bone"

You can ship characters without expecting them to become canon

Shipping minors DOESN'T have to sexualize them

Making fun of people's ships isn't "funny"

Ragebait has been taken too far

Queer characters are not just there for you to fetishize

Characters like Mike are DEPRESSED not "just an angsty teen"

Mike Wheeler WAS queer coded

Will Byers did not "walk off" his trauma

Will was not the only traumatized character in ST

The duffers were not good writers

BYLERS ARE NOT DELUSIONAL

ALSO LET PEOPLE SHIP WHOEVER THE HELL THEY WANT AS LONG AS IT DOESN'T HURT ANYONE

just saw someone say β€œcarlton hate is homophobic” and like i wont sit here and act like i know exactly why carlton haters hate carlton but im pretty sure its bc he’s a giant nothing burger and his character as a concept is a joke and lazily written…..be so serious rn. ppl hate carlton bc like literally. Who Is That. Why?

carlton, aka the best queer rep of all time

thesweetestdream being lameparties was more thrilling than anything the duffers wrote into the season 5 finale

the concept of writing the most popular byler fic of all time and then going undercover to write your second fic and then that fic becomes the second most popular byler fic of all time. lameparties you are so iconic

so remember when mike wheeler was openly flirting with will byers in that field like what was that about that's pretty gay

Mike loves pulling Will into his lap, loves holding him there and cuddling with him, especially after a bad day.

BUT when Mike has a REALLY bad day, Will pulls him into his lap instead, let's him wrap around him and just presses kisses over his cheek, jaw, and face in general.

Mike calls Will his baby but Mike is also Will's baby and I don't see people acknowledging that as much.
