Midwestern gay guys with religious trauma moodboard (churchgate has consumed me)

"It's Hawkins, it's not the same without you"

"Because without Heart, we'd fall apart...even [me], especially [me]"

also I tried to make an edit but it looks very cheap 😭😭

Okay idk why I'm about to do this but,

If this post gets 5,000 notes by July 10th then I will record myself singing The byler all I want for Christmas parody and put it on YouTube, and make my all I want for Christmas is a demo dog t-shirt into an all I want for Christmas is byler Cannon t-shirt.

Good luck.

So uh, the other night I was writing my fic at like midnight instead of sleeping and the tiredness was kinda getting to me so I had to stop when I realised that nothing was making any sense anymore… and uhhh 😀 I just hopped onto Ao3 to read what I’d written….

Petition to make this the new “So it mine el” meme, guys—

i saw this and thought immediately of him

[queernconfusedaf]

Mike wanting so badly to be like the other members of Hellfire, so he buys a wallet chain and paints his nails black. He starts listening to the bands that Gareth and Eddie like. Mike even grows his hair out, but when he tries to put a black handkerchief in his back pocket, that's where Eddie draws the line

What’s really interesting with this parallel is that Jacob was closeted with his relationship at work for quite a while. Like you always kinda.. figured ? Or at least, I did, being a lesbian watching the show. But it took a while before he mentioned having a partner if I remember right

Okay so i haven’t really seen anyone say anything about this so im going to point something out that i noticed a while back when we got the bts pics of the party

So we know Mike wears this look through the season right? Well I did some digging and turns out the same long sleeve shirt he wears looks identical to this one character from Abbott Elementary

It gets more interesting when I went to his fandom wiki page and saw that he’s canonically gay 😭😭

Idk I just thought it’s kinda interesting how the same costume designers who pointed out an Easter egg for Robin, a canonically queer character that included putting triangles on one of her shirts to hint at her being apart of the community -> here

Are also the same people who has Mikes main Vol 1 fit be from a canon gay dude from another show (it came out in 2021 so the timeline matches up)

I don’t think more needs to be said.

- Byler is endgame, you just need to read between the lines

Hey just a quick check in- now that musk is like severely imploding on trump and their severed ties

Yall won't forget this part right?

Yall won't forget he's still a massive scumbag right? That he's still a nazi right? That won't get lost in translation right???

(I don't THINK it'll get forgotten but I really want to remind people that just because Musk is now bashing trump for all the shit we've known about him for awhile that we don't forget he was complicit. If anything his bashing and airing out trumps laundry makes it worse, because he KNEW all that and still worked with him.)

If Mike clocked Will in the van scene, then this expression is him being like "but why? why are you making me do this?" :((((((((( okay thx

[queernconfusedaf]

i still think mike and wills first kiss should be to peter gabriels heroes cover. yeah its used for sad scenes blablabla NO.

i mean yes but listen again. context matters and you associate it with grief. listen again in a positive light, listen to the strings and the LIFT and it sounds so delicately hopeful like a cold sunrise in winter

its the perfect song tO ME to have a tentative first kiss while comforting each other and scared of Making It Real but then gaining confidence and both of them breaking down and crying through their kisses from the relief, love and CATHARSIS at being themselves together and the final few bars with the intense strings is PERFECTTTT for an episode end with them pulling apart slowly and breathing a laugh out together before making eye contact and — CUT

MUSIC ENDS AS IT EXISTS LEAVING THE TENSION IN THE AIR CUT TO BLACK THE CREDITS ROLL ON THE EPISODE AND EVERYONE WATCHING SCREAMS AND GRABS FOR THE REMOTE TO PAUSE BEFORE IT STARTS UP THE NEXT EPISODE

[queernconfusedaf]

Screeching. Need. Not want. Need this season 5

thinking abt will and el having to go into the upside down for the final battle and mike throwing himself thru the gate after them at the last second + will assuming he went in after el and getting all huffy and upset over mike making him a third wheel Again for the potential last hours of their lives. when in reality mike and el have already broken up and mike was in fact chasing will not her. is this anything

Peeta Mellark is an integral member of the four D12 victors. He is literally the sunset on the reaping! How is this not clear? I’ve never wanted to report people for bad literary analysis more and I’m only half joking. It has forced me to commit a cardinal sin: analyze in anger!

1. Him being chosen by absolute accident is the point. Not only does he represent every single other tribute who simply gets chosen because they live in a messed up country but he represents how even with some odds being in your favor (older siblings, merchant family, being white, being popular, etc.) you are still very likely to be victimized by the oppressive structure of Panem.

2. When Haymitch says, “But she was smarter than me, or luckier” - the luck is all the people around Katniss who created the circumstances for her to lead a successful revolution (her father teaching her to hunt, the arena having woods, Rue healing her with leaves, Thresh not killing her, Haymitch consistently giving her support, her mother teaching her aspects of medicine, on and on and on) and Peeta is the number one, most important part of her luck in the first book. She has someone in the games actively putting her life before his… are you kidding? There is legitimately no better luck than that.

3. Even if we take Katniss out of it, Peeta is so impactful as a victor because most of his scenes would not be cut/doctored. What’s there to edit out? Instead, the viewers get a full view of him loving a girl so selflessly, using trickery and strategy instead of violence, keeping himself alive through art, joking on literal death’s door, and sharing so much of himself with the audience it becomes harder for them not to see him as a real human boy. How rare do you think that is for the games? Haymitch and LGB are caricatures of themselves in the games, playing roles that flatten them down. Even Katniss becomes one dimensional on screen without Peeta (and Rue, of course). It is also heavily implied that he does not kill anyone during the games (in a straightforward way) and even if you count Cato or the girl from 8 or even foxface, it’s never him hunting them or seeking out a kill - again how rare do you think that is to see on screen for Games viewers?

4. I didn’t think this needed to be said but: Katniss dies without Peeta in the first games. a) she goes for the bow and dies in the bloodbath; b) she is hunted and killed by Careers; c) she is killed by game makers because there’s no love story angle to keep them from just burning her entirely; d) she dies from tracker jacker stings or Cato because Peeta doesn’t defend her or tell her to run… I could go on…

5. But even if she does win and wins alone - the victory means as much (I would argue less than) any other rebellious victor winning, certainly less than Haymitch’s win. The biggest rebellion for their games is that two of them win! This is legit the only thing that distinguishes them from any other sympathetic, kind child who would have won the games. Like if Haymitch or Finnick or Wiress winning isn’t jarring enough for the Games to end… why do you think Katniss killing Peeta and winning solo would be? It would not.

6. And finally, I cannot stress this enough: There is no peaceful end to the rebellion or the trilogy without Peeta. “Peeta’s a whiz with fires” (HG) for a reason! Collins, over and over, shows us how fire can get out of control and destroy even those who are innocent and who you love (Gale, Beete, Peeta’s family, Haymitch’s family). If everyone really burns, there’s no one to clean the ashes. The reason not everyone burns is because of people like Peeta who can coax the flames in a way that is nurturing and consistent. I mean…. “Peeta fashioned some kind of incubator” is such an obvious detail. Those goslings don’t hatch without Peeta, life does not go on in peace and joy without Peeta.

It is no coincidence that when Maysilee says Lenore Dove got the “jump on us all” (in being a rebel), she is referring to LD using orange paint to make protest art!

We must stop pushing Peeta Mellark out of the narrative! He is literally the sunset on the reaping!

What a masterpiece

I made a Byler Iceberg, which included scenes from the series, phrases, words of the authors and actors proving the byler, and also several of the most interesting theories in my opinion. The higher the takes are located, the more obvious they are!

(I'm almost dying right now with a fever and I feel so-so, but hyperfixation is hyperfixation, so I hope the near-death state did not affect this iceberg in any way LOL)

helppppp look at lucas, im dyinggg 💀
