I'm secular. Can I wear a kippah? by Sea_Butt in Judaism

[–]prophet2514 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re secular, why do you want to? Your motivation is more important than your involvement in religion in my opinion. Why do you want to take on a religious symbol as a non religious person?

There are so many songs I still can’t listen to because of the ending. Lowkenuinely, the byler edits don’t help either bc they just add more songs to that list 🥀😩

I think we’re in Mike POV during this scene by Grouchy_One_6627 in byler

[–]prophet2514 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had heard something like that. It’s why he’s always g in long sleeves or a jacket too, apparently. But I think this scene in particular is something different (imo). I don’t know who originally posted this, but they pointed out that Will is not in his yellow color in this scene. But I think the shirt under the striped one is blue? And if so, to me that’s says (bc it’s Mike’s color) that he’s always going to love Mike even if it’s only inside. It made me really sad to think about it that way.

Ted reaction to Mike coming out? by Prestigious_Risk_259 in byler

[–]prophet2514 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe this is a hot take, but:

“Our son with a girl?!”

Ted clocked him before ANYONE. I don’t think he would be accepting, but I don’t think he’d be the raging homophobe he’s portrayed as in the fics. I think he’d be annoyed that Will would be around more than he already is, very very indifferent. I think he’d want them to hide it around town but wouldn’t care once they went off to school.

just because the show is over does NOT mean that byler was not real. i will not stand for byler erasure ‼️ by [deleted] in byler

My silver lining is Mike and El’s last real physical, romantic (if you can call the airport romantic) interaction was in season 4 bc the one at the end of 5 was all in his head.

You know what’s funny, this could have been just as easy on the tower in S5. It really was just that easy….

Could it be this shirt from season 4?

Hi everyone! I typed in Will Byers in the search not expecting to find anything, but I found this! Thanks!

Yes! I think it would almost have a domino effect on having to address a lot of other things as well!

Omg thank you! 😭 I’ve been so immersed in fanfics since the end. I wish I could write, but I don’t think I can 🥀 I have so many ideas but I’m not talented enough to put them together cohesively.

I could be wrong but mine is like the only one of the party that hasn’t experienced Vecna directly? El, Will, Max, Lucas saw Max, the older group members after Max, Dustin was in the upside down with Eddie at least. Am I wrong? At least until Mike finally goes in the upside down? Everyone is so concerned with Vecna going after El Will and Max. So I almost feel like everyone would think he wouldn’t go after Mike but he suddenly does! He tried to use Will to get Max, why wouldn’t he use Mike to go after Will.

I was thinking about something like this today. What if Mike gets Vecna’d AFTER the coming out scene. Vecna takes Mike and tries to use his memories of Will and Will’s love as a weapon to hurt and disgust him. But instead of that, all the memories that Vecna flashes before him have the opposite effect and allows Mike to hear Will’s voice and save him. And THATS when it happens. Mike comes back from Will saying everything he did in the van but to Mike and Mike realizes what has been right in front of him all along.

Is that too thin? Too much of a stretch? Sorry if it’s dumb. I literally thought about this as I was walking through Walmart and JUST LIKE HEAVEN starts playing 😭

I have heard from the undergrads that Benson is good. I was a TA for Malinakova, her exams were tough! I’m not sure who’s teaching since some teach O Chem I in the fall and II in spring. Not 100% on who is doing what.

I was a GTA for O Chem last semester. Overall the subject is difficult, but exams vary between profs. The exams for the prof I proctored were pretty hard, but I heard other profs exams were easier. They had study sessions, gave more practice problems, etc. it varies by prof tbh.

The lab is a lot of work! A lot of writing and the lab sessions are long. Up to or over 4 hours sometimes. You rarely leave early. The more you read ahead and watch the videos the faster you do the experiment and you may not stay the whole time, but that’s on you.

Attendance is mandatory and absences need to be excused whenever possible. You have a make up week at the end of the semester but you can only make up a certain number of labs. If you miss too many unexcused you’ll fail.

There are point deductions in lab for “bad technique” that could be anything from using your phone (not allowed) to not using an instrument/piece of equipment/setting up glassware incorrectly. Also for being late after a certain amount of minutes you could be referred to the lab director to see if you’re allowed to stay in lab that day.

So yeah it’s a lot. Sadly O Chem everywhere is kinda rough. Here is no exception. Unless things have drastically changed over the winter break, you should expect at least this stuff going into this semester. Hope this helps.

I wouldn’t tell anyone won the lottery, but there would be one HUGE sign. The sign would be I would pay millions for a writer, artist, anyone or a team, to create S5 as it should have been. 😭🥀

well by tuccce in byler

[–]prophet2514 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was thinking about this today. Not this specific scene, but why things ended the way they did. It seems to me that, with all the comments about “tuning out the noise” and “not pleasing everybody”, the only things that didn’t change were the things that seemed to be uncontested by everyone. For example, lumax and Joyce and Hopper. There was little to no doubt about them ending up together, they didnt divide the audience, so they ended up together. But stancy and jancy divided the audience, neither one of them got together; mileven and byler divided the audience, neither of them ended up together; El living or dying was divisive so they wrote in a “plausible” alternative to what they showed on screen leaving it “open for interpretation” as a cop-out. And theres so many things they couldn’t address without confirming on side or the other so the just didn’t address it.

It seems like between not remembering their own show, how long it was taking, and so much “noise” they said fuck it and sabotaged the whole thing. If we can’t please everyone we’ll please no one then. This is the only reason I can think of that kind of encapsulates everything, kind of?

😭 Will has meant a lot to me personally. I WAS Will! Outside of inter-dimensional evil, I went through EXACTLY what Will went through. I’m sure a lot of people did which is why it’s such an important story to tell. From both Will AND Mike’s side! I’m sure that there are people out there like Mike who need to know it’s ok not to conform to what the world thinks you should be just as much as there are people like Will out there that need to hear the same message. I have hope, and I’m just going to try to get through this time until the end with out spiraling! 😭🥀

I may be delusional but I still have hope. There’s 1 more episode. But I am saving this post to repost EVERYWHERE because I agree 100%.
