i think ppl refuse to believe mike isnt straight and didnt believe will was either in the past bc SO MANY ppl only see queer ppl as characters, as over the top icons designed to sell/pander to other gay people. they're not people to them; no depth to their thoughts, feelings, intentions etc etc. irl not just in media, but that not-recognizing-gays-as-real-people in real life they are now also applying to media that strays from the 'norm'- to mike
literally "what ur gay! i could never have guessed," and "but u dont look gayπ"

Particularly when writing people with a marginalized identity that you don't hold, it can be hard to tell what is an issue if you're not familiar with it. Research should be your main reference point, but sometimes you need to go with your instincts.
Here is a very non-exhaustive list of things that should flag to you that you need to take another look at it and do some more research:
Is a person/culture/group presented as "backwards", irrational, un-modern, or uniformly aggressive?
Am I using coded language (e.g. thug, slut, slow) to describe a character?
Am I associating sexual habits or preferences with a certain race, religion, gender, or class?
Am I dismissing or making light of devestating historical events that appear or are referenced in the story?
Am I prioritizing the rehabilitation of individuals or groups who commited violence, particularly at the expense of those who experienced that violence?
Are my characters, particularly my marginalized characters, embodying stereotypes with no other characteristics?
Do my marginalized characters exist simply so I can say I have included marginalized characters?
Am I applying every marginalization to one character so that I don't have to "deal with it" in other characters?
Do marginalizations, particularly disabilities, only appear when convenient?
Do marginalized characters, particularly Characters of Color, exist only to guide or care for white characters?

SELF DISCIPLINE WHILE MANIFESTING
*οΌβΏβ *οΌβΏβ *οΌβΏβ *οΌβΏβ *οΌβΏβ *οΌβΏβ
Ive noticed that a lot of people on here do not have self discipline and that is why they fail. I also did not have self discipline and that is why i was frustrated all the time.
Here is the cycle that i went through:
I wanted something, so i declared that i had it. I felt like i had it. And i was finally in the sabbath. I knew it was mine no matter what. Then after a few days id go on tumblr and read every post and ask, then id read neville. I doubted myself. After successfully reaching the sabbath id start to doubt myself again. βAm i doing something wrong?β βAm i even in the sabbathβ βdo i truly know?β
but if i had simply persisted i would have gotten my desire. I realized this and changed my ways and soon enough i got what i wanted.
Here are some things that you may be doing that you should probably stop.
1. Over consuming info the moment you get doubts
2. βRestartingβ every single day
3. Feeling like you are doing something wrong
4. Complaining after a couple days of not seeing it
Here is what you should do.
The MOMENT you get a doubt or you get impatient you shut yourself up and remind yourself you have it. Manifesting is literally just reminding yourself that you have what you want. Do not give up. Fucking delete tumblr if you feel like you have to. If you have self control then you dont have to. Write down your doubts to get them out of your head OR simply just dont acknowledge them. DISCIPLINE YOURSELF GOD DAMMIT. STOP OVER CONSUMING WHEN YOU GET DOUBTS. STOP REREADING THE SAME POST OVER AND IVER. PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER. YOU KNOW THE ANSWERS!!! YOU FUCKING KNOW THE ANSWERS DONT LIE TO ME. be doers of the world not hearers. STOP RUNNING TO BLOGS EVERYTIME U GET A DOUBT YOU LITERALLY KNOW THE ANSWER TO EVERY QUESTION.
I want you to get a notebook RIGHT NOW. Well call it ur answer book. Every-time u feel the need to run to a blog and ask smth WRITE THAT QUESTION DOWN AND ANSWER IT YOURSELF. YOU KNOW THE ANSWERS BRUH.
Certain scenes are going to have so much more meaning (in cannon) when Byle r becomes cannon.
Examples:
Mike finding the bodyΒ
Crazy together
Wills remembering Mikeβs name
You said yes
The fight scene
The last scene where one of them says not possible (with dnd)
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
