I am the universe, I am the creator of my own reality, I love and appreciate myself. Beautiful things are making its way to me. I live a beautiful abundant life. & so it is
Mike tells Will he exchanges letters with El cause sheās his gf. Later mike throws Elās letter (about becoming a āsuperheroā) in the trash. Then Mike explains to Will, that he had a fight with El (and he probably canāt mend his romantic relationship with her).Ā
during that prior fight: Mike says heĀ ā caresā for El. And El responds that he āCARESā but doesnāt love her- and canāt even say it out loud to her or inĀ his letters . Instead his letters say āfrom mikeā . Even the flowers he got her had a card that saysĀ āfrom mikeā. Mike then tries changing the subject (of him not loving her) by saying El is important to him andĀ aĀ āsuperheroā. El then saysĀ ānot anymoreā to mikeās offiscation.Ā El later sends Mike the letter about re-becoming a āsuperheroā (she signs the letter āfrom elā- probably symbolically showing their relationship is probably over). Which is why mike then throws the superhero letter into the trash.
Mike wonders why he couldnāt say he loved El to her face (before she left). Will says to Mike itās hard toĀ āsay how you really feelā aboutĀ people youĀ āCAREā about because they may not likeĀ theĀ āTRUTHā. On one hand it could reflect Willās fear. But it also reflects Mikeās fear of admitting to El he doesnāt romantically love her-because Itās something she wouldnāt like.
After mike threw out elās letter , Mike states theĀ āTRUTHā is he misses Will and was worrying too much about El.
Brenner later tells ELĀ āsuperheroesā are stuff of fairytales and theĀ āTRUTHā is not that simple, and she cannot hide from the ātruthā any longer (even if it freightens her). Aka - (symboliically) the ātruthā El doesnāt want to face is that Mike doesnātĀ āloveā her romantically and her trying to become a āsuperheroā again wonāt change that ātruthā. which was earlierĀ illustrated by Mike throwing out herĀ āsuperheroā letter . In s3 -4: we see mike/EL dating eachother but both are called out for lying to one another (their whole romance is the antithesis ofĀ ātruthā-but instead lies.)
Will asks if mike is angry at him, cause he stopped ātalkingā to him. Then Will mentions how mike and El share letters (and mike barely talks to him). But Lucas says heād rather ātalkā to Max and doesnāt want a letter (paralleling how Mike threw Elās letter away so he could ātalkā to Will). Mike literally throws the letter in the trash like a basketball (to parallel lucas further).
Ā Both pairings had a falling out between seasons. lucas says to max āitās like youāre not even here anymoreā. And Mike says āI donāt know maybe I feel I lost youā. Max/Will take the blame for the fallingout. But Lucas/mike correct them and take responsibility.
After this Lucas saysĀ he didnāt loose Max ,but he just wasnāt using his eyes to see what was infront of him. dustin: the world is full of the most obvious things that no one by anychance ever observes. Lucas to max : āBut i SEE YOU NOWā .Ā cough oh look at byler staring at eachother.
Not to mention Will getting the courage to eventually show the painting to mike⦠is almost a loose parallel to the letters. So for byler the painting may spur a ātalkā about the ātruthā of their feelings. A piece of paper can only mean so much. But if the painting said ālove Willā that would be a nice touch too.
It seems like mike and Will are almost contrasting. Mike canāt say he loves El even in letters. And Will seems like heās about to confess any minute to mike (and his painting may symbolize his romantic love for mike).
Also another very obvious byler hint:
They fight in an arcade (cough a place they used to hangout together). Will says āwhat about us?ā Which initially alarms Mike. Then when Will brings up how they havenāt been talking ,but mike sends el letters . Mike uses the excuse that sheās his girlfriend. And again Will says āand us?ā . And mike quickly states theyāre āfriendsā. Will is this close to calling out their relationship. I swear. And Mike protested too much. XD
Also donāt get me started on how robin mentions a movie (dr zhigiago) and says its about ādoomed loveā - and then we see the m*leven fight. The film has a subplot about 2 siblings having the same love interest. Heck Yuri even yells about his brother taking his wife. Like ok. Suspish. And no I donāt think the ādoomed love ā is the queer ship -like it usually is.
why? well robin mentions vickie and not being able to confess. Then right after robin shows the ādoomed loveā video to Steve. But Steve said earlier to robin. She doesnāt have to worry about confessing to Vickie cause sheās clearly queer like robin. So does Will have nothing to worry about cause mikeās also lgbt?hmm
My opinion:
Mike is still processing his complex feelings but ⦠my oblivious son will eventually get there eventually. Honestly wouldnāt surprise me if Will confessing to mike is what makes mike finally realize his feelings for Will.
comphet but for aroace people (fantasizing about idealized romance and intimacy but being petrified and uncomfortable when it might happen for real + only crushing on unattainable people)

Actually funny. Not making jokes at other people's expense, not the butt of the joke, just villains that have absurd senses of humour and top-notch intentional comedic timing,
CHARISMA!!! Please, can we have more charming villains, villains that can sway a crowd, villains that get away with things because their too polite, too well-spoken, too funny to possibly to evil.
Respected. Villains whose villainous deeds have led them to success and made them widely respected members of society. To be clear, this isn't respected person who is secretly evil. No. I mean, the bad things they've done are the reason they're respected.
Let them win. Let them win because their plan succeeded. Not because the protagonists fucked up, not by pure luck. Let them earn their victories.
Supporters! Lots of them. The more powerful your villain is, the more supporters they are going to need. If the evil king is unpopular with everyone he's not going to stay king for long. He needs allies, lots of them, especially if he's a tyrant.
Knows how to play the game. Manipulative villains who say whatever they have to to get their way, chose their allies and enemies carefully, bribe and blackmail, play the victim, the hero, or even the innocent when it suits them. Make it hard for your protagonists to convince anyone they are a villain at all.
Cold Steel. Give me villains that don't get angry easy, that laugh things off, that kill because it's efficient and for no other reason.
Clever and creative. Strategists who always have a trick up their sleeve and problem solvers with personal flare.
Show other characters reacting with fear. Nothing rams home how terrifying a villain is quite like watching other powerful characters fall to their knees--fast--when they walk in the room.
Irredeemable despite their tragic backstories. For the love of god people, tragic backstories do not justify a villain's actions. You can have empathy for what they've endured while still expecting them to take responsibility for what they've become.
Unconventionally attractive. Take this however you want. I, for one, would like to see more tortured bad boys who aren't white and shredded. But also, villains whose attractiveness lies in how they talk, their body language and facial expressions, and their outfits. Why do y'all think smirking is such a popular word??
Love. Let them love their spouses, their children, their friends. Not in an abusive way either. Let them have healthy relationships with their still living wives, daughters, sons, comrades in arms etc.
Kind. Give me villains who tip well, who put their own garbage away even though the servants could do it, who remember their henchmen's names, who are good with kids, who donate to charity and not just for the tax incentives
(you can also make your own and go through them when you feel down)
I made these self concept affs but in rule form so you can affirm authority over your subconcious and it helps build confidence as well as letting your subconcious know that you are the boss!
1. I get whatever I want
2. My manifestions come in a week MAXIMUM! nothing more than that
3. My self concept is perfect
4. Nothing can come in the way of my manifestations. They're mine.
5. Manifesting is the easiest thing to do
6. Breathing gives me my results
7. Whenever I think of what I want, it comes to me immediately
8. I never get doubts, only immediate results
9. I do not chase, I attract. Whatever belongs to me finds me
10. I always get full, visible ideal results no matter what. It was just meant to be that way
In my time on this site, I have often seen radical feminists (of the trans-exclusionary persuasion) complain about trans women presenting themselves in ways that enforce caricatures and stereotypes of women and femininity.
My response to this, however, is: why is the full blame for this being placed on said trans women instead of on the patriarchal systems that skew everyoneās perception of what it means to be a woman?
Certain scenes are going to have so much more meaning (in cannon) when Byle r becomes cannon.
Examples:
Mike finding the bodyĀ
Crazy together
Wills remembering Mikeās name
You said yes
The fight scene
The last scene where one of them says not possible (with dnd)
šš”DEALING WITH HATERSšš”
šOh that person said this about me šThey commented rude things about me ā¹ļøThey attacked me for expressing my opinions š„². Girl stop it š āļø Get over yourself . We need to step into our " IDAF" ERA !
š”BEING HATED ON IS A PRIVILEGE
Being hated on means you are RELEVANT ! You are so extremely relevant because that person is taking their time off to focus on YOU rather than themselves. Only the insecure people would choose you as their target because they are threatened by you.
šSTOP PUTTING YOUR HATERS ON A PEDESTAL
Why are you putting your haters or bullies on a pedestal ? Why do their opinions outweigh your own opinions ? š¤ Value yourself above these haters. Reassure yourself and put yourself on a pedestal. You should know you are great and you know your intention. Their words stay in your mind because you are giving them your power , precious energy and attention to them. You are giving their words more power than your own words.
š”YOUR WORTH DOES NOT RELY ON EXTERNAL OPINIONS
You are not an opinion of someone who does not know you or care about you. Realize this and you will be free ! As I told you before in my know your worth post , your worth should not rely on external opinions, if your worth relies on external opinions , you are a slave to other people. Your worth is intrinsic, it comes from within and it is present since the day you were born.
šJUDGEMENT IS THE GAME OF THE MISERABLE.
Haters are miserable. It is a fact. Even if it looks like they are doing better , they are not. Your hater could be the prettiest person in the world but when they look at themselves , they feel ugly. That is why people who usually bully or hate on others try to make the other person make insecure so that they can feel better about themselves. Happy people do not hate .
š”IT IS NOT PERSONAL
It is never personal, it is not about you, it is about them.It is so important to realize that haters are always projecting.
šNO RESPONSE IS THE BEST RESPONSE
The best response to a hater is no response. Do not give them your precious energy and time. If you show them that you are hurt by their comments , they will not feel bad for you . In fact , they will be happy because they won , they wanted your energy, time and wanted to feel they have power over you. Just be unbothered , do not give a damn about these losers. That is how you take your power back . Other people need your permission to make you feel bad about yourself, do not give them the permission.
š”A-T-T-E-N-T-I-O-N
If someone has an issue with you and they are telling everyone except you , they do not have a real issue with you , they just enjoy the attention they get from talking about you.
šI DONT CARE , YOU ARE YOU , I AM ME
Like our Queen Wonyoung said, if someone says something about her that is not true , she does not care . I don't care , You are You, I am me.
š”LOVE YOURSELF
Focus on your good qualities about yourself. Love yourself. Our Queen Wonyoung said that people will give you criticism even when you do not need it , so she only gives herself nothing but love. That is how you should think too. Give yourself nothing but love.
š FOCUS ON YOU
Have a life. Be too busy to focus on these gremlins. If you are sitting idle and rotting in bed the whole day , of course , your brain will wonder. Have a routine. Be too focused on yourself to care about them.
š”KNOW YOURSELF
If you know yourself and understand yourself , you will not care what other people think about you. For example , if you know you are smart and beautiful , you will not care if someone else says that you are dumb or ugly. Take it like this, you are wearing a red t-shirt , someone comes upto and says your t-shirt is blue , will you believe them ? Will you try to explain yourself to them ? Or will you just be like - oh what a dumb person and move on with your life ?
šHAVE COMPASSION
You need to stop seeing them as a toxic , mean or evil personš . See them as someone who is unhealed , hurt or insecure . You do not need to be nice, kind or say anything to them. Have compassion for them and wish that they heal from whatever they are going through. Shift your energy from hurt and sadness to compassion. You will protect your peace and you will be unfazed.
š”THEY ARE NOT THAT IMPORTANT
Does this person contribute anything to your life ? Will their opinions help you pay your bills? Will their opinions help you pass your exam ? If no , why do you care about them ? They are not that important but you are . You should take care of you and not lose yourself because of what one person or many people say about you. They do not matter. They are irrelevant. You are the main character of your life.
šYOU ARE NOT BORN TO IMPRESS
In this world of social media , we often try to impress people who we do not even know. Always remember that YOU ARE BORN TO EXPRESS , NOT TO IMPRESS.
I really want to write something right now
Idk who needs to hear this but you dont need a fully formed idea to write. Just write what you have and pull shit out of your ass until it's done and maybe imagine your ocs in an amv. It may suck but thts what first drafts are for.
