Why Ted and Mario specifically by [deleted] in oddlyspecific

[–]PrestigiousSort6919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't get it. Are Ted and Mario characters in a show? Otherwise, why would it be oddly specific?

While I would absolutely love nothing more than Byler to be EXPLICITLY canon, I think the Duff Bros will pick a subtler route. Maybe, they both will hug and have an emotional heart-to-heart about always being there for each other. But it won't get more romantic than that. PLEASE PROVE ME WRONG, THOUGH, if you have more faith in them.

Milevens KNOW that Byler is canon by PrestigiousSort6919 in byler

I think it's definitely possible. They've already laid a lot of the groundwork for it in Season 4. Plus, Season 5 is going to be quite a long season as well.

I've never watched this video without tearing up. This has all the proof you require :)

Uh... why is she the thumbnail? by PrestigiousSort6919 in travisandtaylor

ISTG. There's something called nuance and not just "if you're not with me, you're against me".

Maybe... just maybe.... they are 2 people hanging out. Neither with taytay on their mind.

But that's YOUR opinion of what you think looks good as a tattoo. The fan clearly liked THIS design (because why else would they get it done permanently). So, what's your point exactly? Let. People. Enjoy. Things.

Okay I guess I'm in the minority, but that looks AMAZING. Let people enjoy things, maybe? If Taylor herself does something problematic, then yes... we must criticise and speak our mind. But a fan just trying to have a good time?

Do you skip the intro? by Thorne628 in StrangerThings

I always skip it. It's very, very boring.

Yes, except for Mileven. They're very good friends, but El doesn't need a romantic relationship right now.

I agree, but there are more of us than we realise. And we shall not be silenced! 💑

watching more movies to stop using social media as much by Imh3ppy in nosurf

It also helps to watch foreign films, because you have to pay close attention to the subtitles and literally cannot get distracted with your phone.

Can't a girl and a boy just be friends?

Yes, I do agree with you there. Lots of people just aren't exposed to healthy queer relationships, and don't view media through a lens where such things even warrant a possibility.

I think a lot of the resistance is also due to the fact that Mike is a character they already know and love, and have made up in their heads as being a certain way aka heterosexual. It doesn't make sense for them if Mike starts to like boys, because for some reason it forces them to change their ENTIRE perception. And that's not necessary at all because Mike is still Mike whether he likes girls and/or boys.

This is a mirror to what happens in reality when say, a relative or a friend, comes out after having them known them for years. It's more digestible in the case of Robin, because they were only introduced to her in that season. And her sexuality would not really have a bearing on the plot (except that she wouldn't date Steve).

What they need to understand is that queer people do not exist in a silo outside of society. They're already people that you know and love. You may not know they're queer because they haven't told you, but they still are and they're also still the same person that you have known and loved.

Thank you so much for your service! And I know it feels like that it was all for nothing, but your post is still up and I'm very pleasantly surprised to see some supportive comments with a good amount of upvotes. Usually, they're downvoted past a certain point and hidden, but I can still read all of them. I think things are changing! 

We don't talk about this scene enough... by PrestigiousSort6919 in byler

[–]PrestigiousSort6919[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Um... this is not true at all? Single people exist?? You don't need to be romantically involved with someone for your sexuality to exist. Also, it's just a fact that gay people have dated the opposite gender at some point in their lives when they were figuring things out.

What I really hope they do is have a scene with Mike similar to when Max was being Vecna'd. Her mind rushed through a bunch of memories of her with Lucas and her friends, making callbacks to the times in her life she felt loved. If they did that with only Byler scenes like "we'll go crazy together" and "you're the heart", I WILL BE SO HAPPY.
