HOLY SHIT I JUST FOUND OUT SOMETHING IDK IF ANYONE HAS POINTED THIS OUT

Okay but what if “Let’s start a new party, you and me” is actually the love confession? Like, ya gotta admit that sounds romantic in the context of Byler

imagine if plagg just revealed his true form on a whim whenever he felt like it

Dude I just keep thinking about how this season is like Security Breach. Not literally but it’s like how it was hyped up with the trailers and interviews saying something completely different than the actual product. I like Vol 1, like how I liked most of Security Breach, and then vol 2 came in with its ending, which is exactly how I felt with Security Breach’s ending. (Specifically the Afton Ending)

The difference? Security Breach can fix itself. Sure not really story wise, but with its new DLC it can. I can tell they wanted to do something but didn’t have enough time and they really cared about the game.

Stranger Things? It can’t fix itself because it’s a show. And maybe S5 can fix it, but we will never forget how bad S4 Vol 2 was. We don’t know wtf was happening and whether there were actual scenes they cut out, we won’t know what the true intention was.

The bigger difference? I at least still like Security Breach afterwards. It hurt for a bit as a fan since 2014-2015 but that’s how change is. I can still enjoy it for what it is. Stranger Things is something I can’t get behind. I can’t tell if the Duffers really cared about this season, I can’t tell wtf they were doing and I can’t forgive them for it. I can forgive Steel Wool because the development of Security Breach obviously had a lot of ups and downs. (The whole controversy with Scott, whether we like it or not, did affect that game’s development) and I can sympathize with them.

I can’t sympathize with the Duffers though.

And Ik that it’s really stupid to talk about Security Breach with Stranger things, but this whole thing gave me a flashback to when the game came out and the aftermath. I just kinda realized how similar the two are development and story wise. My brain is tired

As cool as villain Will Byers is, I think it’s fine as staying as some AU. Because making one of their only canonically gay character a villain, that’s actually a homophobic trope in media.

However, he does deserve to beat the shit out of someone and I will forever stand by that.

So apparently they are time-skipping to 1988…

What happened in 1987? 😨

CAN SOMEONE RECOMMEND ANY EVIL/VILLAIN WILL BYERS FICS OR WILL I HAVE TO DO IT MYSELF-

hello hello my dudes!! the lovely @thornywords recently messaged me and decided he wants to do some art pieces for A Flower That Resembles You, so i’ll be posting those on here and slowly adding them to the fic as he completes the pieces and sends them over to me

and he’s already got one ready!!

ISN’T IT BEAUTIFUL?? young Will just a few months after he got exiled!! it’s also been added to Chapter 20, if you want to check it out there :D

in our messages, @thornywords​ did say he’s nervous about posting his own art but gave me permission to post it here on my blog. even so, i would urge any of you who enjoy his work to send him some love over on his blog. his art’s truly amazing, and i’m excited about the other pieces he’s gonna make for this fic that is so near to my heart :] 💜

so, yeah - if you enjoyed A Flower That Resembles You, look forward to some more art coming soon!!

Hey look, I drew Byler 🐋

Me when s2 and s4 Byler, I can't wait for s5 Byler 😭😭

The Eltingville Club in a nutshell

But seriously this is a W take. This phenomenon is nothing new unfortunately, but I’m glad people point out that toxic aspect of fandom culture

i mean this in the gentlest possible way but if 75% of what you're posting for a given fandom is fuming rage spirals then maybe just maybe it's time to take a step back and consider whether or not you're actually having any fun with this optional thing you do for fun

Needs to be said because people are STILL panicking

friendly reminder that twitter user swiftlynatalia is full of shit! her “leaks” that she uses to promote her credibility are usually mooched off of reddit and her “inside source” has never been confirmed to exist. she’s also historically anti-mike/will so anything she says in regards to them i would take with a hefty pinch of salt.

as for the noah and millie interview where they talk circles around will being gay - yeah, it would be great if they could just confirm it and not act like it’s some huge plot point, but they’re under contract not to spoil things. if they’re told not to talk about it, they can’t talk about it. it’s not a big deal that they won’t say anything definitive.

tl;dr, no one who knows anything real about volume 2 can speak about it, and anyone who’s speaking about it doesn’t know anything real. relax.
