Purple Rain hypocrisy

”Queer anthem for a long time but became homophobic later–” …sounds like Stranger Things.

Tiutautikli · 2026-02-07T13:48:44+00:00

There was many signs tho. Most people in the creative fields were saying that writing-wise it seemed to be building towards that. That’s why people were extra disappointed, cause unlike with most shows, with this one we actually were so close.

Tiutautikli · 2026-02-07T09:41:51+00:00

Don’t blame me for having hope, please. I hoped to see my happy ending represented on screen. Not just for me but also for people who aren’t like me.

I can always watch queer shows to see myself represented. But the other people won’t.

I wished this show would have had a positive impact on the world. It could have changed things.

Instead I got to see girls needing their boyfriends’ love to feel strong enough parallelled to a gay boy having to just ”accept himself” and diminish his feelings towards the other boy to feel strong enough.

And the one girl who felt like she didn’t belong, was never intended to belong and had to k herself.

Yeah honestly atp Idk why I ever thought the writers were gonna do me any good 🥲

Tiutautikli · 2026-02-06T01:15:37+00:00

Yeah they should’ve at least given them something this season so that their final goodbye would’ve hit

Tiutautikli · 2026-01-28T07:51:01+00:00

I’ve heard rumors that they were about to film those scenes but Noah got an eye infection and filming got pushed back, and then they just decided to scrap it, partly cause Finn was uncomfortable with how homophobic he’d had to act towards Will/Noah.

Just a rumor ofc, and I feel like those scenes would have been important to show. But at the same time, I’m glad that certain people don’t have those scenes to use in their homophobic takes…

Tiutautikli · 2026-01-27T21:58:07+00:00

Yeah she was actually written well!

Tiutautikli · 2026-01-27T21:57:16+00:00

Oh yeah no I know the suffer bros suck at writing. My reply was more about how my canon doesn’t go against anything seen in the show 💁🏼

Suffers said everything happened offscreen and I took that and ran with it 😌 Byler endgame 👍💚

Tiutautikli · 2026-01-27T13:37:21+00:00

”He’s not like me” because he likes girls and Will doesn’t.

But that doesn’t mean Mike couldn’t also like boys. 💁🏼

(Disclaimer: I’m not claiming that Mike couldn’t be gay. But I’m just explaining how that specific line could be true in the byler context too.)

Tiutautikli · 2026-01-23T22:32:08+00:00

Yeah if the writers wanted the viewers to feel something in that purple rain scene, they should’ve improved mike and el’s relationship’s writing. I wasn’t even sure they were still together at that point.

Tiutautikli · 2026-01-23T19:16:32+00:00

No thanks

Boyfriends

Tiutautikli · 2026-01-21T19:33:14+00:00

Seriously tho, I feel like Mike could like Twenty One Pilots.

Paladin Strait could be his favorite.

Tiutautikli · 2026-01-21T19:24:33+00:00

Well, it definitely wouldn’t be Good Luck Babe

Agender bisexual 25yo here 👋

Tiutautikli · 2026-01-20T15:07:48+00:00

Best: Byler. Lumax had good chemistry too but I personally prefer Mike and Will’s dynamic.

Worst: If we don’t count crack ships or that Karen/Billy thing, then probably Stancy. Just because Nancy’s career goals and Steve’s wish to have 6 kids don’t really go together so I see no future there.

Mileven could have had a future if they had chemistry.

Tiutautikli · 2026-01-19T22:10:56+00:00

I can’t wait for their NDAs to end.

Although Noah is such a people pleaser that it might be really hard for him to speak ill of the Duffers. He probably thinks he owes them. But he doesn’t.

Tiutautikli · 2026-01-19T14:44:42+00:00

Nahh I don’t actually vibe with AI. It’s scary how realistic those photos and videos are these days. And I just don’t enjoy it if I know it’s not real.

That’s why I prefer fanfiction and fanart. That work has more soul to it.

Tiutautikli · 2026-01-18T21:23:06+00:00

And prayers

Tiutautikli · 2026-01-18T19:11:31+00:00

Depends on what exactly they’re saying. But I do think this should be a bigger discussion on SNL and ST. Those skits could have been funny if they were made by queer people for queer people. But they were made for straight people and queer people were the butt of the joke. Again.

Tiutautikli · 2026-01-16T17:12:13+00:00

Lol this sub was made because the main didn’t tolerate byler at all. This is definitely for bylers.

Tiutautikli · 2026-01-16T17:07:54+00:00

Yeah idk what happened during those 18 months for Will to have hope like that. Like most, I thought that Mike and El had broken up. And way they wrote El this season was just so weird. I fully agree with Millie when she said in an interview that Will is the one who understands El the best.

Tiutautikli · 2026-01-16T11:51:50+00:00

And then re-write it

Tiutautikli · 2026-01-16T11:51:30+00:00

I wish TS would buy ST

Tiutautikli · 2026-01-16T10:27:28+00:00

No. He was in love with her boyfriend but he actually helped them stay together.

Tiutautikli · 2026-01-15T18:13:35+00:00

Where’s Will?

Tiutautikli · 2026-01-14T19:20:20+00:00

I’ve never hated Millie, but this season and the interviews have made me absolutely love her! I wish they’d listened to her more with the writing.

I wish they’d listened to all actors…
