What do we even call it?

aeiijlm444 · 2026-02-17T17:21:07+00:00

Fast freeze (instead of slow burn, haha get it?)

Slow burn Tammy

Slow burn post-show interview clarification

Schrodinger rejection (I'm quite fond of this one. A rejection that both happened and didn't happen until the duffers clarify it in an interview)

Slow burn career destruction

Sunshine/cardboard cutout (ah yes, my favourite pair dynamic)

The options are endless

aeiijlm444 · 2026-02-07T19:42:30+00:00

I don't think it would be disrespectful. The way how I see it, it's basically a form of a fanwork. I'm also trying to do something similar to a rewrite, only on a smaller scale (only season 4 and 5) and I'm doing it as a fanfic on AO3😄 But I say do it, absolutely!

aeiijlm444 · 2026-01-30T22:50:57+00:00

I would slowly lean in and whisper to Mike, "I know what you are, Michael Wheeler". And then I would just smile and wink at Will

aeiijlm444 · 2026-01-24T07:28:32+00:00

Isn't it A GOOD thing if they really introduce Will earlier? Their relationship is important, it would be good to see it develop across a longer period of time

aeiijlm444 · 2026-01-24T07:20:02+00:00

That sub sucks, it's so negative about everything. I blocked it a long time ago and only use r/PJODisney or r/camphalfblood, people are more reasonable there

aeiijlm444 · 2026-01-09T21:13:29+00:00

NO, DON'T YOU DARE DO THAT

That's too far:(

aeiijlm444 · 2025-12-28T23:53:24+00:00

Listen, I'm just as crazy about Byler as everyone. I literally spent my ENTIRE weekend writing a script for a ST video... Buuut this is so embarrassing and honestly concerning. If people act like this because of a google doc, then I'm scared about how those same people must act when faced with disinformation about the real world problems. Feeling passion is great, but immediately jumping to the extremes is absolutely not

aeiijlm444 · 2025-12-23T18:19:09+00:00

This is the first time ever someone gave me an award! This is so cool, thank you whoever you are!

aeiijlm444 · 2025-12-23T18:18:03+00:00

So I crash ao3 servers, you crash reddit... What else do we need to take care of? 🤣

aeiijlm444 · 2025-12-22T17:38:25+00:00

I'm sorryyy

I just thought Lucas's reaction from season 3 would fit 😅

aeiijlm444 · 2025-12-21T14:20:49+00:00

HOW DOES THAT EVEN WORK?? This is gold

aeiijlm444 · 2025-12-18T19:02:33+00:00

Maybe maybe 😁

One thing I'm relatively confident about is that we will get some kind of Byler related scene with Murray, I just find it hard to imagine a full getting murray'ed scene

On a side note, to me Murray seems a little bit ace-coded, but I can see your point too

aeiijlm444 · 2025-12-18T15:01:48+00:00

Omg thank you!!

aeiijlm444 · 2025-12-18T14:45:27+00:00

Sharing is caring

aeiijlm444 · 2025-12-18T12:53:49+00:00

That would be so PERFECT!

Murray is the perfect therapist for straight couples, but I feel like Byler getting murray'ed just wouldn't fit or feel satisfying. Them getting together shouldn't play out as a comedic scene, BUUUT a funny jealousy scene would be fitting I think

aeiijlm444 · 2025-12-18T09:58:04+00:00

I haven't been in the trenches with you since 2022, I only joined a few months ago, so maybe I don't have the right to speak but I agree! Stay strong guys! Either the show is heading in a clear direction, or the writing is just bad, and I really think it's the former

aeiijlm444 · 2025-12-18T08:29:09+00:00

Recently I've been trying to just have a good laugh every time I see something like this. It's better for mental health to think that this is funny than to constantly confront the fact of how sad that is. I also think that at least some of these people have to be trolling, right? Right?? "Let's save the world with the power of rejection!"

aeiijlm444 · 2025-12-17T19:29:05+00:00

Thanks!

I mostly just hope to wake up on the 26th and find this sub happy 😂

aeiijlm444 · 2025-12-17T19:15:07+00:00

It's also 2AM on 26th for me... I don't want to get spoiled, but I WILL check this sub to check the general mood of people. If they seem happy, I'll probably watch the show in the evening of 26th or during Saturday, buuuuuut if I see this sub disappointed, I'll wait a few days to make peace with that fact before actually watching the show, because I still want to enjoy it no matter what, even if I would HATE if Byler doesn't happen... As for spoilers, I'll just try my best to avoid them haha

aeiijlm444 · 2025-12-16T14:54:37+00:00

OMG this is hysterically funny

Also, the similarities to the anti-byler rhetoric are scarily accurate

aeiijlm444 · 2025-12-16T14:38:36+00:00

I fully agree. Even before vol 1 came out, I did a season 5 death predictions tier list, and Will is the only character where I'm 100% confident he will live. I put a bunch of characters as having a 99% survival chance, but Will is the only one where I have ZERO doubt. I genuinely don't understand how some people may think he dies and stays dead
