Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that there's going to be a super special Byler Theory live stream on Saturday with me and Byler Mom! We're going to be talking about some of my recent posts and stuff related to that topic (teenage characters and sexuality).
We want to have a discussion with other Bylers so please let us know your thoughts in the chat when we go live.
(*Also I want to mention that we won't be talking only about Byler, but about the topic more in general with Byler as a main example, so we'd love to see non-Bylers opinions on the topic as well. So feel free to join even if you don't watch Stranger Things at all, getting outside perspectives would be interesting and add to the conversation.*)
I'm not sure exactly what time it'll be, but after my mom is done work, so sometime in the late afternoon/evening MDT (Mountain Daylight Time).
There's a link in my bio where you can find a link to my YouTube channel. You can subscribe and turn on notifications so you'll know exactly when we're about to start the stream. It's going to be a lot of fun, so I hope you join us! ☺️
I will never get over how much more mature Philza is in his lore than everyone else. He doesn’t have to be, he can choose his own lore, but he chooses instead for his character to always be the bigger person.
And this just goes to show how good of a storyteller he is; he knows the story requires his character to fill a supporting role and he does it without erasing his character’s complexity.
It’s not like his character is never immature, but when he is immature or lashes out, it doesn’t just affect the atmosphere, it completely changes it.
He yells at Wilbur, telling him to leave and find the eggs himself if he’s so upset about it- very much in the way an angry parent scolds a child- and for a brief moment you can feel how scared his character is, and Wilbur who was previously just confused and upset immediately becomes defensive (which benefits Wilbur’s story).
But more importantly Phil apologizes immediately after he’s calmed down, something which we don’t really see from other characters that are described as calm, cool and mature the same way he is. (being more mature isn’t a source of pride for him) It speaks volumes about who his character is, and just how long he’s been around compared to everyone else.
It shows that his character is also choosing to be the bigger person. It shows that he knows better than to wait to apologize to someone he cares about; which taken in the context of his lore can imply that he may have experience with loosing friends or allies in that way.
There’s more I could say abt this, especially with what this can imply about Wilbur and Phil’s father/son relationship, but I think that deserves its own post.
Danny was already a pretty famous internet streamer. With around 18 million followers.
He was talking about building a rocket and explaining the science behind how to make it work. While at first only a few viewers watched it, it blew up as they learned from a scientist James Possible that the 10-year-old boy really knew what he was talking about and that it truly was a way to build a space rocket.
So now that he had built it over the years, his rocket was finally finished. So he put the camera on the rocket and got ready to launch. Which the followers weren't ready for!
They didn't think he really had rocket fuel! So while many people typed in the chat, he did not do it! Danny didn't really listen. He would finally be able to realize his dream of seeing space.
Danny got the song "major Tom Peter Schilling" ready as he started to launch. Well, he is as ready as he can be!
To visit the "International Space Station (ISS)"! Well, as the connection was lost, this live stream became the video that broke the internet.
