The Byers sisters

(+ lesbyler and lestonathan bonus)

thank you so much!! means so much to me 🥹

i actually considered making the duff fic sapphic at first, but i couldn’t quite make it work for this specific story. a lot of steve’s role is tied to him being the popular guy at the top of the high school hierarchy, and so much of that dynamic is wrapped up in masculinity, popularity, and compulsory straightness. eventually i was like, you know what, i’m queer but i’m allowed to write straight people too 😭

if i had to imagine girl steve, though, i think she’d be a lot like chrissy cunningham or a young karen wheeler—popular, pretty, a cheerleader, very conditioned by appearances and social expectations.

for sapphic stonathan specifically, my brain always goes straight to the film but i’m a cheerleader. steve is megan. jonathan is very much graham. this is a fact, not up for debate 💘

🍀 What is/are your favorite Stranger Things blog(s) at the moment?

Well ofc you're one of my all time faves, my love. But besides you, I'd have to say @bylercocaine, @miwiheroes and @hawkinsschoolcounselor!

🛡️ What are your favorite ship variants?

I'd have to say Lesbyler, Bravebyers, Surfsahoy, Officebyler and Webwheeler for Byler specifically! For other ships, I'm getting really into Lesmadwheeler and Lestonathan.
