A force of gravity by @oceanfruitsstuff
A MUST READ FOR BYLERS
i nearly have no words that can encapsulate the rollercoaster of emotions this book has put me through. i already gushed about this before but i want to leave another note here, too. I hope one day oceanfruit will publish this. i’m seriously planning on printing all 800 pages of this out and annotating it because it astonishing how high quality this is. for a fic that doesn't have a beta? MARVELLOUS!!!!
so many times i felt as though i was watching a real person's life because the dialogue was so authentic. everything that everyone said flowed so naturally and all i can describe it as is like silk.
characters? chefs kiss.
they're so raw and human. many times i was just left staring at the screen, my eyes glued to the text, on the verge of tears because i resonated with them. their stories and arcs were so beautiful, and just natural. it's an amazing separation from the idea that characters are black and white and how that assumption can draw people into a spiral within the story, too.
Further, the author introduces us to so many complex ideas and does not let them drop: everything makes sense.
the semantic field of colour, the pathetic fallacy and the IMAGERY!!! so many amazing language techniques were used, and all of them had a profound purpose within the text. Parallelism is the bread and butter of byler nation so i already knew that this fic wouldn't fall flat but, gosh, i didn't expect it to be this great.
i don't even want to start on the plot because DAMNNNN
i’m just saying: if you liked aristotle and dante, you'll love this one.
i can go on and on and on about this for hours and i'll probably update my review after i've completed my annotations and my psychoanalysis of all the characters but for now, there are my final words:
Micheal Wheeler, you're so lovable and you'll always be famous.
Will Byers, they can NEVER make me hate you and you're so lovable.
Since I’ve seen a lot of people saying that Noah Schnapp shipping Byler or saying things like “some of Mike and Will scenes can be interpreted as romantic” (paraphrasing) could turn into queerbait if the ship doesn’t come to fruition, I feel like y’all need to be grounded.
Noah is an actor, not a writer. He is a gay human being and viewer of the show. He is allowed to ship the characters the same way the audience does even if he didn’t know the ending —the way he didn’t when he stated he shipped Mike and Will in S4.
His comments such as “scenes can be interpreted as romantic” are him interpreting the show the way a viewer that enjoys the ship does —he is not god.
And if the ship does not come to fruition the way you’re hoping it does, it was not queerbait on his behalf. He is just enjoying the joy you get from his character’s queerness. And it is definitely not “the worst thing he’s ever done.” He has already done much worse with his responsibility as a young adult in the public eye 🤨🤨🤨
aka the one with college byler and will paints on mike bc i say so <3
also has a fun convo about mike's insecurities about his appearance and i literally loved writing this so much i had so much fun, being that it might be last fic for a while (university)
EDIT: I had to change the link because the fic was on the wrong date and AHHHHHHHHH yeah its fine now tho

no bc if in season 5 we get flashbacks to Mike constantly reassuring and comforting will throughout the show I'll actually cry

an old drawing of mine that i had to edit........nah it's still shit
happy birthday mike wheeler 🥳 🎂
once again i am asking you if you would like to a read a fic based on its concept:
basically mike has already confessed to will which saved him from vecna, but will was too unconscious/injured to even respond. will wakes up next to mike the morning after.
mike's super worried that will listened and doesn't feel the same (despite it literally saving him but he's a little hopeless)
reply or reblog if you want me to tag you when i post it! (might be a while bc im prioritising my university work but its a shorter fic than my usual ones)
sorry guys when ppl refer to noah schnapp as “whatever that is” or “that thing” i fear we’re crossing the antisemitism line
how it feels lowk to be a stranger things fan/byler shipper that doesn’t worship the ground the actors walk on
Em, 18, stranger things, fanfiction, and stranger things fanfiction ★★★ random out of pocket thoughts (90% byler ofc)
