#conformitygate will always be famous actually. Netflix crashed. $15 million in total was bet on a secret good 9th episode being released on the 7th January. The BBC wrote an article about it. It’s the first thing you see right now when you Google stranger things. Finale so bad the deranged gay people of tumblr got the rest of the world to jump on a conspiracy theory. There’s no way the duffers and levy haven’t sent this by now. I’d never be able to show my face in public again
Guys I love this fandom.
bc wdym that we’ve just been put through hell by these creators, told we’re just “noise”, bullied relentlessly by the GA, been subject to horrific queerbait, and within a day or two have already figured out a way to connect every single gate we’ve ever come up with AND simultaneously fix every plot hole season 5 had AND still find a way to have hope?
And tho I don’t have my hopes high at all for Jan 7th, either way we won. Bc if we’re right and episode 8 is a fake out, then we’ve ALWAYS been right. And if we’re not? Then we’re the real geniuses who have written a story a thousand times better than the duffer brothers ever could
and I think that’s beautiful.
Dude I’m crying my mom js said “Mike said I love you… off screen” GET OUTTT💀😭
the duffers shut down byler by making mike hallucinate a m11 kiss fantasy to a gay song in which he still couldn’t say i love you
made him create an OC for wills boyfriend that is actually just a self-insert, then cry as he caresses wills book
and play the song that symbolised mike loosing will for the ending credits. you can’t make this shit up.
wait true

excited for all the amazing queer rep we’re gonna get over the next decade or so in the creative projects of bylers who were absolutely burned by the ending of stranger things. mike and will are going to live the lives they deserved in a thousand different universes and i think that’s so beautiful!!!
I actually lost a lot of hope of becoming a screenwriter one day but this gives me the motivation to pursue that goal out of pure spite. I will write a beautiful queer love story guys trust
the duffers said that bylers make "a lot of noise."
the duffers said that the plan since the beginning has always been to make will's love unrequited.
the duffers said that it has always been the plan to make will's arc about self acceptance and coming out as gay.
they had 10 fucking years to shut byler down. 10. years.
my fellow queers and allies in mourning, please dont isolate rn. do what you can to get out of your home, outta your bed. leave dipshit duffers in 2025 the best you can, create your own magic, cry when you feel it bubble up, feel it, express it, dont be like mike wheeler. make some art, go confess something to someone, be honest with those around you even when its hard, write down whats inside of you right now. turn it into something that makes this world a softer place.
thinking of you all ❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹 wish we could cry together & hug it out
I love how all my friends are worried their favorite character will die and I’m worried about whether my favorite character will do anything or have any meaningful character development.
Michael Wheeler you have 2 hours.
we all remember when robin was presumed dead so tammy jumped off a cliff

OPERATION 7.0
(because ofc, byler=7)
Okay byler tumblr. We’ve had four days of (justified) doomposting. NOW, it’s time to do what we do best and bond together.
The Issue: Season 5 Episode 7 is currently sitting at an IMDB rating of 5.4. If you’re unfamiliar with IMDB, generally anything under 6 is BAD, anything over 7 is GOOD. 6 is just kinda average.
The Reason: We all know this episode had some glaring issues, and the coming out was handled poorly. HOWEVER, it is still an openly gay main character on the biggest television series today. THAT’S why this episode is bombing. Not because people see the actual issues. ELON MUSK himself commented on how low the ratings are, claiming it’s because woke ruined Stranger Things.
Operation 7.0: I believe if we band together we can get the 5.4 up to a 7.0, Byler’s number! This sounds ambitious, yes, BUT, there are currently 77k ratings on IMDB and… 312k signatures on the cutgate petition. If even a QUARTER of the people who signed gave a 10 star rating, we’d be sitting COMFORTABLY near a 7.0
For the skeptics: A 7.0 rating on a Stranger Things episode is STILL LOW. Ignoring “The Lost Sister” (sorry Kali), the next lowest episode is 03.01 which is still a 7.8. A goal of 7.0 proves that there WERE issues with the episode, without letting the homophobes win.
The plan of action: Give episode 7 a 10 star rating on IMDB, then either reblog this post, OR tell three of your friends (on tumblr or irls!) to do the same.
The motivation: I am not an artist or an author, but I WILL reblog this post with a fic rec, an edit, or a piece of fan art I like for each decimal point the rating increases. If there are any artists or authors who would like to be of assistance, either with previously posted work, or new snippets, message me!!
I wholeheartedly believe if we work together, we can fix this dumpster fire of a situation, to prove that we are here, we are queer, and we are not backing down.
@roman-god-of-ikea just prompted me to have a realization.
Door One: You take your own life
Door Two: Accept your fate
OR the season finale:
ESCAPE.
I need y'all to see this.
Mike walks into the room and stops short before he gets to Will, then stands there with hands twitching as he looks down at him.
Hands twitching is something that is most likely a specific acting or directing choice. It indicates anxious unsettled energy that you can't express, or the physical need to do something with your hands that you can't do but your body is signaling that it wants to.
It's like Mike's still signaling even when he's trying not to, lol.
Also, when Will was first blown back unconscious outside the tower Mike runs to him and starts to reach for him but again, stops himself from touching him at first. Only to give the most tentative touch to his arm later.
Mike stands at a distance from the couch when Joyce is sitting with Will, just looking.
They are making it stand out so we clock that this is not how Mike usually treats Will. When he is comfortable and feeling connected to Will he is overprotective and touchy-feely. I mean did that boy have any chill whatsoever in V1? No.
We have seen Mike hold himself back from his normal intimacy with Will before, which led to a confrontation and then resolution of their friendship. We all have our theories about why Mike pulled back the last time.
This time I'm still trying to figure out what exactly is going on in his head (just me, the Internet, and every other person Mike Wheeler knows).
Perhaps after he had some time to process the Sorcerer moment he got freaked out by his feelings and realized he needed to chill out and went back to his repressive nature. Perhaps Vecna has been in his head already. Perhaps after gloating about how amazing Will is to everyone he could find he got worried that he was being too obvious and is policing himself because he's scared of what it might look like. Perhaps he's just incredibly worried about this boy and he cannot cope and he doesn't know what to do with his hands and he cannot CANNOT be too close to him or he'll lose it, so he is focusing instead on the little things he can do to be useful so he doesn't go insane.
My prediction is that this "cardboard cutout" Mike that seemed like such an alien when we watched V2 will be explained when we finally get inside Mike's head in the finale (either through his own breakdown or being Vecna'd). It's not bad acting, it may not even be bad writing (remains to be seen), if Mike's lack of character during these episodes was a completely intentional way to show us that he is not being himself, so they can set up a big moment for his character arc later when it's revealed why he was acting this way.
I think he will realize that to become Mike the Brave he needs to be honest with himself, allow himself to be who he is and feel what he feels and do the things he wants to do, and then love will save the day in some miraculous empowering way - and Mike Wheeler will also be saved from his self-abandoning and repressive tendencies.
Of course I could be reading way too much into Mike's feelings and motivations, it just feels like a significant pattern and setup, and as an actor I would never do something so specific as hands shaking or withdrawing a touch without a clear character reason.
We shall see if/how it's addressed soon! Let's pray they have actually given Mike a real arc that explains his V2 behavior change.
I’m so glad I’m seeing analysis posts instead of crash out posts now 😄

how life feels now that everyone has stopped dooming and glooming after vol 2 and we’re back to our analyzing roots
we’ve all bought our one way tickets to byler endgame (non-refundable)
Remember I said how strange that El's missing poster say she was last seen the summer of 86 near High School?
And now we have these things
Can we like
Freak the fuck out? Please???
Mike what the fuck did you do gate CAN BE REAL
They can show us milkvan actually breaking up and explain whatever the fuck is wrong with them this season
And Nell is in those scenes too
(this can be completely about just Vecna's mind, okay, but it's fun thing to think about)
MWTFDYDGATE OMGOMG
