the thing is i do joke a lot on here but sometimes i do feel stupid for ever believing in byler and that mike would get good characterization. i know others didn’t believe byler would ever happen, but i genuinely did. for years. and it kind of felt awful to not only get laughed at by the writers of the show, but people on here as well. i know optimism isn’t always the solution to everything but prior to s5 coming out i hated this notion that we needed to temper our expectations because everything seemed right there in the text to me and i wanted to have fun while it lasted. especially post-sorcerer. some years ago i would have spiralled more over this, but now it all just…makes me sad. i believed in something good, and i won’t ever apologize for being optimistic and having hope. i’m glad we had what we had. but i just wish people were a little nicer about it instead of making others feel stupid.

i can’t wait to post chapter 11 of itws….

okay last post on this and then i’m filtering snl and getting off of tumblr to do something else. have we learned nothing about harassing actors on instagram. you guys are being stupid and unproductive and parasocial - both people calling finn homophobic and people calling him gay. none of which is true. i think he got the offer to host snl and decided to host because he likes the show. i think the coming out joke was in poor taste but he also wasn’t in it and didn’t write it and i’m tired of everyone acting like he stood up and publicly said i hate my gay coworker on live television. this fandom is so fucking reactionary sometimes that it prevents people from actually looking at What For Real Transpired. finn and noah are friends, there hasn’t been anything that has happened beyond twitter rumors and people parasocially psychoanalyzing interviews to make anyone think otherwise. you guys need to start having normal relationships with celebrities i fucking beg of you. okay i’m getting off of my soapbox now. goodbye.

that riff on will’s coming out was not only low hanging fruit (unfunny) but also didn’t do anything except lowk make me really fucking sad. the coming out was so beyond disappointing to the show’s queer audience but because of barrage of homophobia in response to it people are forced to defend it. will byers’s queer storyline was made fun of by the general audience time and time again and used as token representation by the writers. he suffered over and over again, had no onscreen love interest or romantic storyline despite the fact that nearly every other main character did, and was mysteriously sidelined in the second half of the finale season despite what the showrunners had previously said. the show is over and the same joke that was used by homophobes online for weeks after volume 2 came out is being reheated on national television. will byers humiliation ritual will never end apparently

finn wasn’t even in that part of that sketch. why is he getting cancelled on twitter. im lost.

you have my heart (so don’t hurt me)

Mike tears into the package with a bit too much gusto; it rips, straight through Will’s return address, and he curses. He tries again, more carefully this time, and manages to ease the package open with a few careful yanks.

A CD case slides out onto his desk. Mike checks the package, and nope, no note; nothing but a cover with a man holding a microphone on it and a CD inside.

Mike gently hits the eject button on his player and carefully replaces the disc. It slides in easily, but before he hits play, he checks the back of the case.

There. Circled, in shaky black ink, is the title Lover, You Should’ve Come Over.

Something sinks in Mike’s gut.
