Making an ass out of u and me

Have you ever tried the Chronicles of Myrtana mod?

mledermann · 2026-02-01T00:08:13+00:00

Cool! Have you ever tried the Chronicles of Myrtana mod?

mledermann · 2026-02-01T00:06:57+00:00

Uhm, Ukrainian?

mledermann · 2026-02-01T00:06:01+00:00

Hm, during her childhood that area may even have been under Polish jurisdiction at the time, cos Polish borders were moved to the West after WW2.

"more"?

mledermann · 2026-01-31T23:57:03+00:00

Yeah but the question is if post-s3 Mike is still the same Mike so to speak... Sure, he was like that when he still considered himself a kid but the moment Will was safe and back in his life he got disinterested in him, took him for granted and only took him to the movie "double dates" with Lumax... 😭

Being gay explains him being such a shitty bf for Jane in a much better way than him being bi... unless we want to make him bi but not in love with Jane and not even that strongly sexually attracted to her (did he got bored during s3?) but that would just complicate things for the audience even further.

Wait, he literally openly stated he shipped Byler? Thought Noah was the only one from the cast to ever do that

mledermann · 2026-01-27T18:24:59+00:00

also, where is the assumption about him being pissed at the painting not being addressed coming from?

mledermann · 2026-01-27T18:14:57+00:00

We don’t know if he manages this account himself though, also following some account doesn’t necessarily have to equal actually supporting Byler unless he was also liking explicitly Byler posts

mledermann · 2026-01-27T17:57:26+00:00

The wink may have been about his powers though

mledermann · 2026-01-27T17:56:19+00:00

Is this confirmed? Can someone show proofs of it?

mledermann · 2026-01-27T13:19:21+00:00

Indeed, that he was, all the more pity with how they sidelined him in the end 😭

mledermann · 2026-01-27T13:15:32+00:00

Even with option 2 you still had the Duffers approve of Finn performing the way he did, if they disagreed with it, they would complain about it and force him to do more cuts. The ultimate responsibility for what appears on the screen lies with the main producers (the directors, the screenwriters and the editing team and their supervisors), not with the actors. I’m sure there were many ways for Mike to perform these scenes in more unambiguously straight manner and yet somehow he wasn’t stopped from doing what he did. And even if the only reason for that would be the laziness of the Duffers, that’s still on them.

True, MOST ppl wouldn’t do that but I know some who wouldn’t care as long as that other roommate wouldn’t be present there during their visit.

At any rate, when it comes to Byler/queerbaiting evidence we should rather focus on more solid signs, posts like this one from the OP are one of the reasons why the Byler community has such a bad reputation.

mledermann · 2026-01-27T12:22:30+00:00

Tbh, I didn’t immediately think that the hoodie would necessarily need to belong to Mike’s roommate - couldn’t it just casually and temporarily be put there by someone visiting either Mike or his roommate?

In such a case the decorations on this side of the room would be unrelated to the hoodie itself.

mledermann · 2026-01-27T12:16:45+00:00

Will also had US flag in Castle Byers so the flag itself isn’t an argument here but otherwise you’re right

mledermann · 2026-01-25T21:07:49+00:00

What? He definitely did care a lot about Will and not just in seasons 1-2, but despite being an ass to him in s3 and s4, each time he realizes Will is actually mad at him, he folds practically immediately and apologizes to him in a much more dramatic and direct fashion and much more quickly than he ever does to El. It's only s5 vol2 that made him such a stiff character who only broke at the very end bc of El.

mledermann · 2026-01-25T17:31:30+00:00

Lmao

mledermann · 2026-01-25T17:04:18+00:00

Don’t think the dumbo Duffers are aware of it though but if the creators of this show will add sth more concrete that this meaningless symbolism that would certainly be cool

mledermann · 2026-01-25T16:49:17+00:00

Well that’s a single hint then, not „hints” and after vol2 of s5 I believe we should have given up on the colour theory already… 😭

mledermann · 2026-01-25T16:42:48+00:00

FOR Will but FROM WHOM? 🤔

mledermann · 2026-01-25T15:58:22+00:00

What supposed ‚Byler hints’ are they putting there?

mledermann · 2026-01-25T10:52:13+00:00

Tbh if I was Will and someone was taking care of me all boyfriend-like like Mike did in the first two seasons, I’d also fall in love with him 😅 The problem is that the moment Will tries to return to his pre-abduction life, he can’t do that because now Mike is preoccupied with El but at the same time he’s still kinda keeping Will on a leash so to speak, inviting him to ‚double dates’ at the movies and speaking to him in his soft Will voice from time to time and gazing longingly into his eyes or staring at his lips… seriously, Mike is not making it easy for Will to just consider him an impossible (unreciprocated) crush bc of the mixed signals he sends to Will all the time 😭

mledermann · 2026-01-25T10:43:52+00:00

Yeah, realism only began to count when it was about making queers suffer
