#byler hyperfixation

i just think it would be extremely cruel to make the one character who has experienced violent rape as a child, the one kid who has experienced the worst kind of abuse from his own father; be the one who gets the unrequited love of years to end up in rejection, or death before confessing (or whatever bullshit GA wants)

byler has been very important to me as a victim of csa, because i could always relate to Will in a way that many other people just simply can't because they haven't been that child who was raped and then made fun of for. maybe its jsut projection, but ive always also seen my own bodily insecurities in Will's body language, the kind of trauma formed self disgust and self awareness that your own gross body is taking space and being a bother to everyone around you... if that makes sense? feeling consioud about your body ruining and rotting away other people's spaces, causing you to want to run away and never talk to anyone. the gnawing feeling of having a crush, knowing they might find out sooner or later how disgusting and unpure you are; if they don't already see it

are they really going to make a character in a mainstream media whose entire point of existence is pretty much just "you were raped, tainted and ruined as a child, it was your fault and now you don't deserve love, you deserve to die and be rejected"...?

not to even mention his queer identity and the fact he is a male sa victim, something that gets overlooked in media and real life constantly.

i just think it would be extremely cruel to make that the reality and life lesson of the show that advertizes itself as being for the outcasts, freaks and nerds. just to please the politics of today's world or some bullshit?

so yeah, byler is that deep. i don't want them to be canon just because i want some yaoi kissies

i want that representation for even once in my life is that so evil of me to ask?? even though i myself have started to heal and let myself be loved again... there's so, so many fans of stranger things who have most likely experienced similar events in their lives and would experience so much comfort from seeing will get to be with the boy that makes him feel like he isn't a mistake. if not for me, for them..?

byler is a great couple, it has potential to become the most beautiful, meaningful relationship in media ever, possibly teaching entire generations that you still deserve love even if you are a gay sa victim.

but if it doesn't happen... it would wound me and many others deeply...

anybody out there think mike interpreted the pat will gave him as similar to the airport bro pat? thinking thoughts

oh my god theatre byler?!?!

edit: apparently we’re calling them techstar now!(or startech idk)

OMG THIS WAS DIABOLICAL!! who else got tricked by dh_epub’s april fool’s day joke today?! i was so excited for the new chapter too lol 😭

Realistically, it probably won’t happen—it’s been months—but you know what they say about hope being a dangerous thing…
