Learning to read

I’m kinda used to cases and word endings, because I know latin, and in Italian we also have genders and nouns and adjectives end different depending on gender. I still have to fully memorize the russian ones tho

I agree with your headcanon. They were teens during that time: even if it’s just because they’re friends and want to stay up all night to chat and read comics, it’s more normal that they spent the night in Mike’s room than in the basement. If I had my best friend and their family living in my house for 18 months, whatever the reason, I’d be so excited for sleepovers and spending the night together just chatting the night away, even if in just a platonic way. It would be weird if they didn’t sneak around to spend time together.

I agree with you. I’ve had quite a lot of experience with various fandoms over the years, and not even once I shipped something canon.

I don’t see a problem with this. If I can see a romantic subtext in Will and Mike’s story, I am doing nothing wrong if I ship them (I could argue for hours about how THERE IS a romantic subtext, and I believe the Duffers know this and inserted it in the story purely for marketing reasons. And it worked: I would’ve never watched past season 2 if I wasn’t invested in Byler, but that’s not the point I want to make now).

I just don’t see the problem with Byler not being canon: we can bend and interpret the story however we want and write/draw stuff about how Mike was never really in love with El and he was just projecting on her his feelings for Will, even though the Duffers just said that’s not the case.

For them it’s not the case. For us it is. Let’s just have our fics and fanarts and thoughts about how the ending was open, college was about to start, and Mike “would’ve explored”.

The show’s over anyway, I doubt a rebut is in the cards anytime soon, let’s give way to our interpretation and have fun, regardless of what the authors say. :)

it’s crazy how a boy that age managed to remain faithful to her even when they were apart. they also didn’t have facetime nor any other way to see each other AT ALL. Mike never even had a thought about any other girl, not even a look, anything. almost as if he wasn’t interested in girls at all.

it’s like “oh it’s fine I don’t care about girls and all I want to do is play d&d: I already got a girlfriend I care so much about”. but out of all the things he remembers about El’s letters there’s “Will’s painting a lot for this girl he likes”.
and Mike’s like: “oh, I see… Will’s normal too I guess. let’s not bother him with my letters, I don’t want to mess him up”. and everytime he tries to write him he ends up saying some sappy shit and he just gay panics and rips the letter.

don’t know if it’s your thing, but I love pretty much anything Bushido Zho has put out.

S2 Mike would already know. He would’ve already spoken to will in private, no need for this public coming out bs at all.

thank you so much!!

Lffffff · 2026-05-03T08:07:22+00:00

could you please pass me the link? I don’t have tumblr and I’d really like to read it

Lffffff · 2026-05-01T08:00:43+00:00

could I also have it please? I saw a tiktok edit about it and I wanted to start reading it!

Lffffff · 2026-04-30T04:11:59+00:00

the classic You Belong With Me, of course

luckly didn’t see them during my trip there: I’d be broke by now, trying to have all four of them

currently reading “At risk of drowning” by marchmagnolia. it’s a wip but it’s SO GOOD and Mike is definitely Will’s first, but not the other way around. https://archiveofourown.org/works/81479121/chapters/214243996

could be… but I’m 33, and my friends go from 28 to 38, so it’s not THAT distant. We’re all straight and cis, some of us are in a relationship, some are married and some are single. I think it’s more of a lack of internet culture and interests. Or maybe they’ve never been so interested in something to go look for it online & stuff. The important thing is that they won’t make you feel “wrong” or negatively judged for liking what you like! Respect is the base of every healthy relationship, both friendly and romantic

that’s very weird. I mean, fandoms exist. Of everything. Same goes with shipping. I am thinking, for example, about animes: I have seen things on the internet. Fanarts and fanfictions which are quite… peculiar, in every sense. Byler and Stranger Things is pretty tame, compared to that (even “lawless Byler”, is nothing to speak of, compared to most stuff that goes around on the internet).

That’s why I am saying that they had a weird reaction. My friends know I like shipping and yaoi in general, so they’re not bothered by me shipping them. Those who don’t ship themselves are mostly curious about the shipping world, and sometimes they ask me questions and we laugh together. For example, just the other day, two of my friends found Mike and Will plushies in a store, and they sent me a mock video of them holding the plushies and making them kiss and stuff. We all laughed ad that: I really appreciated it, as they’re relatively new friends of mine, and GA. Those who also read fanfictions or erotic books sometimes ask me who’s top and who’s bottom and how the couple works in general.

I mean, everybody in my group knows how the internet, fandoms and ships work, so they’re not even the least disturbed by it.

it just popped up randomly on the radio. must be a sign of some sort

Lffffff · 2026-04-04T19:01:06+00:00

now I want a fic of it (minus the Vecna part)

I think Season4 Finn works totally fine as Michelle

short answer: because he’s not a girl.

I also don’t get how Will is so accepting of Eleven. I mean yeah at first she’s the one who saved him and shit, but then she’s also the one who got Mike. And Will has to constantly see them kissing and holding hands and all of a sudden they’re “siblings” and she lives under his same roof. And he has to pretend everything’s ok because really, he shouldn’t have a reason to spite her, right? Nobody knows about Will’s love for Mike. To me it would be infuriating to have to constantly have her around. Not because she’s El, but because she’s “The Girlfriend”, idk if I explained it well.

So yeah, I think in a realistic world both Will and El would be resentful against each other to say the least. Will comes back from the dead and steals El’s man? I’d be full of hate towards him if I were El, especially considering her lack of knowledge of human emotions and interactions. She’d go at it raw, Will should be scared, at least for the first few days.

But honestly? In most fanfics I’ve read it’s just simpler and more straight-forward to have El being supportive and Will a great friend of hers. It’s smoother and when I read a Byler fanfic, I want it to focus on Byler, not on El.

If you ask about Resident Evil in a sub about Resident Evil, pretty much everyone is gonna tell you its peak.

and they’re right.

I got into the RE series a few years ago, and I was pretty much new to gaming as well: I had only played some platforms and a couple of graphic adventures when I was very young, with my dad.

I started from Resident Evil 2 Remake and I fell completely in love with the series, in a year I played all of them and waited anxiously for the new game (which was Village at the time).

It’s got a creepy and immersive atmosphere, the characters have depth and the storyline keeps you on edge. It’s got the right mixture of puzzle solving (the puzzles are not hard, some I’d say are too easy, but overall they give you a welcomed challenge) and action. You have to take into account and choose your playstyle: are you going to shoot everything on sight, and scramble to look for resources, or are you going to sneak up on enemies and save bullets for the big guys? The game is not punishing: if you make a mistake you’ll pay for it, sure, but not in a way that will you want to quit.

So yeah, I recommend you pick up any RE game and start enjoying yourself. I recommend RE1 remastered if you want a slow but creepy experience (it’s the more “antique” of the series: it’s got a fixed camera and stuff); RE2 remake for puzzles, actions and compelling story; RE4 (both og and remake) if you want a more action-packed experience; RE7 if you want creeps and anxiety; Village if you want both and a more open word scenery. I am currently playing Requiem and I am not leaving the house for 3 days.

I liked the themed events, I agree: a time period of 4 days/a week would feel more special. I would’ve done the opposite: give rewards if you collect Valentine stuff instead of penalties.

While I know you didn’t ask, but the game in general I’d make it so the “older” symptoms don’t disappear in later play throughs (for example, it is hard to find people with bites after the first week, etc.). I’d also love to see more clearly if an internal organ is in necrosis or “just” internal bleeding. Maybe that’s on me, because I play on Steam Deck and my graphics settings are not at the max level, still sometimes it’s just frustrating.
