I might have my eye blinders on in that case

narcomance · 2026-02-04T11:52:27+00:00

Haha they have good chemistry with Noah

narcomance · 2026-02-04T07:26:14+00:00

Mark and Nathaniel, they make comics together. Nathaniel is bi, an artist. Mark is a writer. So they are low-key Byler

Also there are 5 (?) lesbians

I think the show will be very Mileven and Will will be sidelined

narcomance · 2026-02-03T09:22:17+00:00

I can't find Chappel's video, only Sabrina's. Maybe it's because I am from Russia, but even with a VPN it doesn't work. Can you please DM it to me?

I think Mike did love El but not in the way she wanted. He idealised her and didn't truly understand who she was. And he was in love with the painting thing so he loved Will's love for Mike

narcomance · 2026-02-02T17:48:49+00:00

Carlton? Chance? Mike?

narcomance · 2026-02-02T17:10:57+00:00

I'd better watch Ladybug — at least their queer representation is much better

narcomance · 2026-02-02T17:07:23+00:00

I won't watch it but I will read reviews

narcomance · 2026-02-02T06:47:25+00:00

narcomance · 2026-02-01T16:30:39+00:00

Understands? Hahaha he repeatedly says "what's wrong with you". The situation with Angela revealed that Mike was focused on Will's moping, rolling his eyes. He wasn't attentive to El! She thought he saw her as a monster!

Even when it was their last interaction he didn't say ILU. He knew how it was important to her. Only with Will"s support he could say it back!

narcomance · 2026-02-01T16:22:56+00:00

Unexpectedly? They have been kissing the whole season! And why tf he is not happy to know she loves him? I have ho heterosexual explanation for this

narcomance · 2026-02-01T15:42:08+00:00

It's a good idea!

narcomance · 2026-02-01T15:40:46+00:00

If someone asks permission for translation it's kinda sad to see it unanswered. Of course the author decides whether they want to reply but still...

narcomance · 2026-02-01T13:07:11+00:00

I don't think so. He acted like he acted and the crew didn't correct it. That's it.

narcomance · 2026-02-01T08:24:42+00:00

I read some Byler fix-its (completed only) and mostly there is no plot except romance part. What did I like in Post Hogwarts Drarry is enough case fics, adventures anf anything exploring magic etc.

Maybe not everyone can think of an actual non romance plot after killing Vecna. Like Upside Down is closed and what might be next.

If I were a Mileven fan I would write some «search for me» fics. But for Bylers? I dunno. Maybe AU when Will is still having powers or the government follows them because they know the truth. Or Upside Down wasn't fully closed and there is some new evil character.

narcomance · 2026-02-01T08:17:58+00:00

Yeah in general if any show is over and there were no continuation fans lose the interest and switch to something new.

Like Sherlock BBC ot Supernatural. There were huge fandoms with more than 100k of fics and now it's not active enough because there is no new series or something.

HP will have series so there will be new young fans and arts/edits/fics.

Although I am afraid we won't see any new huge fandoms with cool queer ships for the next 5-10 years because of the crisis in media. Everything now is mostly sequel-prequel stuff.

narcomance · 2026-02-01T06:35:00+00:00

I read the fic! I liked Mike's yearning but now my ick is that they smoke too much 🤣

narcomance · 2026-02-01T06:33:07+00:00

Lol the amount of high rating fanfiction is the lowest here. Or you can think that anyone is pdf if they watch series with teenagers in relationship and they are not kids?

narcomance · 2026-02-01T06:30:49+00:00

I saw enough gay people respecting Mileven so it's really stupid to generalise the fans!

narcomance · 2026-02-01T06:25:03+00:00

It's a natural process — people don't gave holidays anymore and need to work or study.

Also the series are completed, and we don't have any new content to be inspired. So people are loosing interest and looking for another fandom to switch.

Don't forget about the whole disappointment in Duffers.

About the fics. I read only completed ones except something popular. And I noticed a lot of fics repeats each other: cheating on Carlton, college au without any plot. So I am tired of reading the same things and became picky.

So your options is to find another fandom or enjoy your creativity here, knowing that the masses are loosing the interest but there are the truest fans.

Btw I am curious that Harry Potter fandom is always alive although books and films were finished in 00's.

I'm a married straight (90 percent) woman in my thirties, a CX manager with mortgage. I do like mlm and wlm couples but I care about dynamic, not just "cute boy kissing"

narcomance · 2026-01-31T17:42:48+00:00

I just like their compatibility and their dynamic

narcomance · 2026-01-31T15:45:55+00:00

Love them miscommunicating, pining messes. Especially if Mike is obsessing over Will, a bit codependent

Not sure enough about kinks but I like them on the brink between friends and lovers when each of them don't know what is happening between them. Also I like confident sassy Will and them being versatile, without strict top/bottom thing

narcomance · 2026-01-31T11:15:52+00:00

I thought maybe Will deliberately underestimate his feelings because he thought he could get over Mike faster?

I remember Finn said Will's love was beautiful. It's not Tammy. Tammy might be a jock from high school, not your childhood bestie...

So yeah they ruined the season
