- This will be updated as time goes on, with me adding or taking away certain aspects of this introduction post at times.

- If you have any questions based on what I say in this introduction, feel free to ask them as long as you are respectful about it.

- Everything will be broken up into distinct sections, with my handmade headers making them easy to spot!

- Because this introduction can be quite lengthy, there will be a TL;DR at the bottom of this message.

Without further ado, let's get into it!!

First up, the basics!! In this section, I'll be stating some things about me!!

- I am very very queer, and I use a mixture of extremely well known labels and extremely niche labels. I'm just going to state a few of the more well-known labels. I am a transmasculine, genderqueer enby. I am under the aroace and gay (mlm) umbrellas, though not strictly.

- I am a digital cartoon illustrator!! I specifically enjoy character design, so you may see a lot of that on my page!!

- I am also a writer and I enjoy media analysis as well. Due to this, I am both open to constructive criticism and I will give constructive criticism on the media that I enjoy.

- I am currently working on an ongoing project, Freaks of Foreverlight!!! I will very likely share updates, works in progresses, and so on about this media that I am creating.

Now it's time for what is okay and what isn't!! Let's get into that!!

- I mainly use he/him pronouns, along with using rawr/rawrself pronouns simply for fun, but that isn't super enforced, you can default to masc pronouns. I am a little more lenient with how I feel about gendered terms, but feminine gendered terms are strictly prohibited, androgynous gendered terms are okay in moderation, meanwhile masculine gendered terms are most preferred.

- while I do not expect a complete lack of sarcasm, idioms and so on, hell, I may even use some every now and then, I do prefer a more blunt, to the point and practical communication style due to my neurodivergence. You do not need to adjust to this, but if I do request you to explain something, please just explain it.

So you know the hc of byler being a autistic4autistic couple? I really like exploring how that would work in a lawless/sexual context. In this post, I will be talking more about bottom Mike than bottom Will, simply because, while I do believe that they switch, I just like the idea of Mike bottoming more than I like the idea of Will bottoming (I like subversions of expectations let me live /j)

Before I get into this, I am a autistic gay guy myself, this is not a fetishization of autism or autistic people at all, nor is it fetishization of gay men, I mainly like to explore how different aspects of these characters would genuinely affect their sex lives, I am talking from inside the house.

With all that said, I'm going to get into it now.

Byler accidentally replicating bdsm sub/dom dynamics without the knowledge of what that is because they have the tism.

I hc Mike as hyperverbal autistic, but I also hc him as being a autistic character who thinks that they have to talk in a specific way to be seen as normal if that makes sense. (This definitely isn't taking from my own experience, what your crazy /j)

While Mike is more naturally hyperverbal, he also feels the need to pretend normalcy in things such as his speaking patterns or things along those lines. This makes even casual conversation very stressful, dreadful and overall very effort-consuming for him.

Meanwhile, Will is sort of the opposite but also kind of similar. For Will, he was nonverbal as a child, and as he grew older, he became more "typical" with how often he spoke. But, similarly to Mike, Will also feels trapped by his own masking, because I hc him as extremely high masking. Additionally, I like the idea that a lot of his hedging and general timidness throughout the series is moreso him masking blunt speaking patterns, because Lonnie would likely abuse him more if he spoke bluntly.

So, in a sexual context, these characters find it very cathartic and healing to engage in certain bdsm-esque sexual dynamics. At first, it's not even intentional.

Will gives Mike direct orders and Mike just.... obeys without a word. Will doesn't have to worry about softening his direct tone because his direct tone is actually WANTED and DESIRABLE in this context. Mike doesn't have to worry about saying the wrong thing or feeling pressured to communicate things in a neurotypical way, he can just turn his brain to mush, whine or make gestures to communicate what he wants, and he doesn't have to worry about masking his speaking patterns if he rarely speaks.

Mike actually LIKES when Will's tone seems too blunt, or demanding, because, for once, it's clear enough that Mike knows exactly how to make someone happy and structured enough that he feels 100% secure. Will actually LIKES that Mike just obeys without complaint, because, for once, he's in complete control of the social dynamic and he doesn't have to hedge around requests or add a forced "..I mean if you want to" after saying something he really wants, since not doing those automatically reads as "you are demanding this thing from me" from a neurotypical social audience.

Mike also has a lot of social insecurities involving how he is perceived in social situations. Is he doing good? Is this right? What should he be doing? Is he fucking everything up?

So, when Mike asks Will "am I doing good?", Will immediately goes "yes, you're doing such a good job for me" and that turns them both on more so they keep doing it, adding it into their sexual vocabulary (I wonder why they like it..)
