i watch stranger things for the plot

the plot:

i think the only reason the Duffers aren't posting a season 5 inspiration board is because it's covered top to bottom with the gayest movies humanity has ever seen

[offsidetracked]

thinking about finn during s1 promotions talking about mlvn being a first crush/first summer love type of situation where it's implied it's not gonna last. while everyone else loved mlvn at that time.

then he said that duffers told him that she's like an E.T. or lost puppy to him that he needs to take care of.

yeah, duffers told him that. that's why he's thinking that way and nobody else does. in the interview in which finn says it, millie seems offended by that - because she doesn't know yet. it really seemed like duffers only told the true nature of mlvn to finn at that time. so that's why when you go back to rewatch s1-s3, mike doesn't act that much in love with eleven... finn pretty much knew that from the beginning.

and he was telling the truth, cause that's what duffers have been saying as well, separately. saying how mlvn was "a concept of a first crush" (that's such a cryptic way to tell us that it wasn't a real crush) and comparing mike meeting eleven to elliot meeting E.T.

both duffers and finn keep holding the same narrative. even in the freshest interview, finn parrots that. isn't it crazy? it's been nine years since then. how did the mlvn dynamic didn't change much from that? maybe because they've been planned from the beginning to break up sooner or later.

you see, i don't usually trust actors but it's interesting to me how consistent is finn with his seemingly weird opinion about mlvn and how the very few times duffers spoke about it, they said the exact same thing. just a food for thought.

This Will is filled with guilt and blames himself for what happened to someone from the group

And again parallels to Spidey

During the climactic battle between Spider-Man and the Lizard (Dr. Curt Connors) in The Amazing Spider-Man, Gwen Stacy's (Peter's girlfriend) father, Captain George Stacy, is fatally wounded while helping Peter.

Naturally, Peter blames himself and keeps his distance from Gwen.

I believe this interaction between Will and Joyce may be about Will feeling guilty about someone from the group being hurt. Since something happens to Peter's love interest's father in both The Amazing Spider-Man and Homecoming, I think we may be talking about Karen Wheeler here.

If they don't let the audience believe Will at least might go down that path I have severely misread the narrative of this show.

The people that told me that he's not paralleled to Will are looking ridiculous now sorry lmao

This was like byler attempt number 1 that failed lol

The fact that Bylers are called delusional when Steve spent the whole season 4 convinced that Vickie likes girls, even when he found out she had a boyfriend, just because she paused Fast Times at 53 minutes and 5 seconds! And guess what? He was right! He only had one clue and believed it with all his heart! We, Bylers, have WAY more clues but we somehow are seen as being more delusional than Steve!

Entry #1

In my personal opinion I believe that the hate behind hosegate is hypocritical and can even be considered puritan.

I think that you’re allowed to be uncomfortable with the sexual innuendo as long as you are also uncomfortable about the sexual innuendos and explicit scenes from Mike and Wills straight counterparts.

Examples being Lucas hiding something suspicious under his bed, Dustin referring to Phoebe Cates as hot, Max staring at Steve’s chest and Jancy and Stancy both having their respective sex scenes in seasons 1-2 when they were only a year or two older then season 4 Byler.

Apparently we’re able to tolerate sex scenes and sexual innuendos about the straight people in the show however an innuendo about two queer boys is too much? Are you aware that you’re singling out Mike and Will by placing them on a different standard then their heterosexual counterparts?

You may use the excuse that anything sexual about Mike and Will is wrong because they’re minors but so were Max,Lucas and Dustin (correct me if I’m wrong but aren’t all three younger then Mike and Will being born between May-July of 1971) and Steve and Nancy were the same age as season 5 byler when they had sex to Barb dying.

Does anyone find it odd how certain people in the ga and byler community alike are only uncomfortable with the sexual innuendo about the two queer boys and not their heterosexual counterparts?

The Sistine Chapel is calling; they lost A WORK OF ART 🤯

WILL BYERS in the teaser of Stranger Things Season 5 (07/16)

[offsidetracked]

All this focus on Jonathan is either because he is bones OR he's the red herring and Nancy is dying instead, one of them is not making it :( I'm sorry 😔

[offsidetracked]

All the shots of Will are just art like are you kidding me?? MY SON
