Can you believe that Gaya Sa Pelikula talked about so many lgbt+ related issues as openly as it did?
Can you believe that it gave a lesson about euphemisms and how it is not shameful saying the word gay out loud? Can you believe it talked about allyship and how it’s not always done right, but that if people are willing to listen to lgbt+ people and are open to learn it is valuable? When was the last time you saw a show saying microaggression? And especially, related to how people assume that passing privilege is a good thing and shame more feminine lgbt+ people. When was the last time you heard that “you don’t look gay” is NOT a compliment as explicitly as gsp did? Can you believe it also talked about how Vlad devalued those little mundane romantic things like prom because as lgbt+ we feel those are still out of reach for us because of the hateful societies we live in? But then immidiately showed us that we can have those experiences as lgbt+ people. Can you believe how they also highlighted that coming out feels like coming home, or all the talk about Boca del Cielo which is a place that doesn’t feel real but in the end it is found, and how the show values finally being able to express yourself as lgbt+ as something to celebrate and dance to? Something freeing and beautiful?

I apologize in advance for this monstrosity of a post. But I have to get a point across here. Like...either Byler is endgame and is going to happen, or Will Byers is going to go down as one of the most tragic TV Show characters of all time.
Sounds a little like hyperbole, no? Well, let's just recap. This starts when Will is 12. Just 12 years old. This adorable, sweet, little, innocent bean here. Just keep in mind these pictures for future reference:
He's kidnapped by an interdimensional monster and forced into a dark, cold, lonely place all by himself. He's stuck in another dimension for a whole week, trying desperately to get out, wondering if anyone is going to save him, all while constantly fearing for his life. Alas, the demogorgon did get to him:
And, even after he was rescued, he was still puking up slugs:
All this is from S1. Enough trauma to last several lifetimes. But wait, there's more.
Apparently Will hadn't suffered enough, so they had the Mindflayer set its sights on him. And well, we all know S2 didn't turn out the best for this now 13 year old boy.
And if the mental pain and anguish and loss of innocence of having your body forcefully entered against your will isn't enough, they decided to heap on some intense physical suffering as well:
And to end the series, you have to have the monster literally burned out of you by your own mother while you're tied down to a bed.
Surely our boy has had enough right? Wrong. On to Season 3. 14 year old Will is mostly sidelined this Season, but he's present enough to get ignored by his friends and put down by his best friend for his "childish" interests, a fact that hurts Will so bad he breaks down and calls himself stupid before resorting to demolishing his childhood fortress. The same haven of safety that helped to save his life in the Upside Down. He's then forced to pack up and move from the only home he's ever known, severing all his friendship ties, such as they were.
Well at least they're gonna fix stuff in Season 4. So here we go, and...what? Excuse me....hmmm...okay. So I've just gotten word they in fact did NOT fix things in Season 4. We have Will, now 15 (or maybe actually still 14 since the Duffers apparently FORGOT HIS BIRTHDAY) so happy to see Mike at the airport for the first time since leaving town, get his hug physically rejected (when Mike has no problem hugging anyone else this series). He's then forced to third wheel and watch his best friend/love of his life have fun with his step-sister. He then LIES TO MIKE (something we have seasons of evidence that Will hates to do) in order to project his own feelings for Mike onto El because that's what he thinks Mike needs to hear. And he's then forced to help Mike "confess" his "love" for El as he stands there and hears Mike say that his life didn't really begin until the day Will disappeared?
Guys, even if you don't ship Byler, you have to admit....this is a pretty fucked up life in the span of 3-4 years. My point in posting all of this (and actually depressing the hell out of myself as I looked for all the screenshots) is if they really leave him like this, and Season 5 doesn't turn things around for Will...or maybe even somehow gets worse and they either kill him off, or force him to stand there and fake a smile while Mike and El live happily ever after....well then fuck this show.
They introduced us to this sweet innocent kid, made us all fall in love with his character, then treated him like their personal punching bag for four seasons. If they aren't planning on giving him a happy ending, that's just downright sadistic. After everything Will has gone through, they're going to make him a gay kid in the 80s living in smalltown Indiana in middle America, with an unrequited love for his childhood best friend? A fact that makes him feel "different" and like he's a "mistake"? Overkill for the sake of overkill. Trauma p*rn. And that's just the suffering they've shown us onscreen. Just think of how many nights laying in bed alone Will has had these thoughts about himself. Or desperately wishing that Mike felt the same way, even though he "knows" it's hopeless. Truly tragic.
Yes, other beloved characters in this show have been traumatized too, yes. But they've also all had sustained happy moments that the show has shown us on screen (for characters that were around for more than one season). Every time Will seemingly gets an ounce of happiness it's violently snatched away.
I refuse to believe that the show doesn't want to give Will a happy ending. There has to be a reason for his suffering. And yes, I think Byler is the only satisfactory happy ending. And that's not my choice, that was the choice of the showrunners. They made being in love with Mike his whole character in S4. Gay pining at its finest. Trying to intro a new love interest at the last minute isn't going to cut it. I'm not going full delusional like before. But I do believe that S5 Byler has a good chance of happening. Otherwise...it kind of taints the whole experience.
Can we talk about what a selfless character Will is? Always putting everyone else's need above his own. Not only was this trait shown in the van scene with Mike...but even in his actual 'coming out' moment with Jonathan. This moment was supposed to be all about Will. Jonathan saying (without saying) that even if Will is gay, it doesn't matter to him. He'll always love him, no matter what. And Will's response?
Ugh, so sweet. Even in the moment that was supposed to be about Will getting comforted, he still made sure Jonathan knew it went both ways.
Which, reminded me. This isn't the first time this happened. Back in S1, after Will got rescued, he ended up in the hospital. He had just been trapped in another dimension for a week, on the brink of death. And the first thing he says to Jonathan when he wakes up?
This world doesn't deserve Will Byers! My child, you are allowed to be selfish sometimes. Please...every once in a while, just think about yourself.

when ur gf sees u hugging another girl and u immediately push her away bc u don't want ur gf to misunderstand that u have romantic feelings for her bc the only reason u were relieved/happy enough to hug her was bc u found out ur bf, who is also the girl's bf, is in fact still alive and human and did not turn into a zombie

Week two: favorite characters
Remember that time when Lao Wen pretended there was no wine in the bottle, so he ordered Gu Xiang to go find him more wine but later one we find out the bottle in question indeed had wine and Lao Wen was just making an excuse so he could spend time alone with his A-Xu?
Well, yeah... my favorite part of it is that do you know who knew the bottle wasn’t empty too? You’re right, the one and only A-Xu. He knew damn well how much he drunk from that bottle and there was still wine on it, however he remained silence, even when Gu Xiang turned out to him to give a bad look for taking all the wine because HE WANTED TO BE ALONE WITH HIS BABY TOO.
And remember that time when Lao Wen asked A-Xu to go to look for medicines to cure Cao Weining and Cao offered to go with them but Gu Xiang stopped him and Chengling told him “it’s ok. You will learn to be with them” or something like that. That got me screaming because Chengling’s words and Gu Xiang’s actions just tell me that tWenZhou look for excuses to be alone ALL THE TIME. And they do it so much that even my innocence boy Chengling has noticed that and learned to respect that.
I mean, these two go around thinking they’re fooling everyone with their lame excuses to be alone but they’re not fooling anyone. Omg i can’t!! And the best part is they don’t even need any excuse, also aren’t you two together DAY AND NIGHT? Why do you need MORE TIME ALONE? TF.
Definitely there was not better ending for them than being trapped in that mountain lol. Bye
HERE IT IS LADS! THE ULTIMATE CULIMINATION OF ALL THOSE WEDDING JOKES 💀💀💀 AT THIS POINT I AM CONVINCED WORD OF HONOR AND ITS CAST IS JUST ONE MASSIVE FEVER DREAM
So Gong Jun was invited to Chuang2021 as a guest (he did a really good job by the way!! 🥺) and throughout the event he would occasionally bring up a certain "Zhang-Laoshi"
So here he's being asked who he would form a boygroup with if ever given the chance,
*btw he ONLY referred to him as Zhang-Laoshi throughout the event and never by his fullname! It's hilarious that the Tencent subbing team just automatically subbed it with ZZH's complete name. Why are they so sure it's ZZH, huh?? There must be tons of other Zhang-Laoshis out there 😂
What he said was, "和我最匹配的人也就只能是张老师了” and I'd translate it as "the person most compatible with me can only be Zhang-Laoshi" or "the best match for me can only be Zhang-Laoshi"
The term he used was 匹配 and it is LITERALLY
He basically called him his perfect match! 最匹配! GONG JUN PLS NOBODY WAS ASKING THAT! HE DID NOT HAVE TO GO THAT HARD! AND BTW JUST TWO PEOPLE ISN'T ENOUGH FOR A BOYGROUP?!!
Then, he specifically called out a trainee, Wu Yuheng, to tell him that he's going to support him, because Zhang-Laoshi sent him a hongbao when they were chatting the night before. Wu Yuheng is ZZH's junior from the same company!
HE'S PROBABLY WONDERING WHY THE GUEST MENTOR IS ESPECIALLY FAVOURING HIM LMAO
The rest of the members of his group were like "Thank you, Laoshi" but Wu Yuheng said, "Thank you, Ge" to him instead, so now Wu Yuheng's fans are referring to Gong Jun as "brother in law" asjksgsksg HELP
And now the funniest thing about all of this, and the whole point of this post, is that a lot of people who didn't watch Word of Honor and don't know about Wenzhou, thought that Gong Jun was married after watching Chuang 😂
I kid you not, there were A LOT of people who LEGITIMATELY thought that Gong Jun was married to this elusive, mysterious "Zhang-Laoshi" that he kept on talking about.
This was further exacerbated by the fact that the host, Deng Chao, also refers to his actual wife as Sun-Laoshi! Whenever he mentions Sun-Laoshi, everyone knows he's talking about his wife. So you can probably imagine what happened when Gong Jun also kept bringing up his own mysterious "Zhang-Laoshi" 💀
Him talking about Zhang-Laoshi a lot, plus the stacked rings on his ringfinger, his overall demeanor and choice of words, the hongbao and the special favour for a specific trainee, all led to this one glorious misunderstanding. The stars really aligned for this to happen and I CANNOT STOP LAUGHING 💀💀💀
Some of the comments were just absolute GOLD. Like saying that they felt that Gong Jun was really too much, constantly talking about his lover during the event! 😭 And some were going "well it must be his wife, otherwise he would refer to them with their full name and not just a vague Zhang-Laoshi as if he expects everyone to know exactly who that person is" and also "he really smiles a lot when talking about his lover huh" asjkdgsdhs HELP ME WHAT KIND OF SITUATION IS THIS 💀
This is.....unprecedented. Clownery at its finest. LITERALLY ALL OTHER FANDOMS CAN GO HOME. I'm still laughing at the sheer audacity and absurdity of it all. All of the shameless wedding jokes the fandom and the cast members have been making until now have been absolutely STEAMROLLED into fucking oblivion by none other than Gong Jun himself.
Chen Zihan with her top trending Wenzhou wedding edit? Huang Youming and his wedding jokes? Zhang Zhehan calling them the hottest couple? Well Gong Jun skipped wenzhou's wedding altogether and literally made people believe he was married to ZZH 😂 I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE
I just???? What is this cast even doing?????💀
Do you think ZhuZhi-Lang is a prototype Wen Ning? What was the narrative point of him dying in the end?
Hello Anon!
I’d definitely say that Zhuzhi-Lang and Wen Ning are two socially awkward “monster” boys cut from the same cloth. Zhuzhi-Lang’s character does seem to provide the inspiration for Wen Ning as his MDZS counterpart, with their arcs even centering around similar hardships yet yielding contrasting endings.
At just a glance, in Zhuzhi-Lang and Wen Ning, we see two young men who despite being belonging to the most powerful clans are still outcasts derided by society: Zhuzhi-Lang for his hideous snake-man appearance and Wen Ning for being a timid stutterer, a “Wen-dog” and of course, the much-feared Ghost General. Adding to Zhuzhi-Lang and Wen Ning’s negative public images is the fact that they are the notorious right-hand men (and wingmen!) of someone regarded as society’s villain. And of course, we know that those so-called villains, Tianlang-Jun and Wei Wuxian, are far more complex than what society passes on as “facts”. Much like their right-hand men, both Wei Wuxian and Tianlang-Jun are misunderstood figures who, despite not being entirely innocent, have been shown to actually be victims of society first.
On this point, what’s observed through all these characters is the ever-recurring MXTX theme that the world, and people in particular, aren’t so black-and-white. What’s passed on as “truth” often isn’t accurate nor complete, and humanity exists amongst outcasts who are dehumanized. Sometimes, perhaps unsurprisingly, the ones who are able to recognize that fact most clearly are the very people considered “evil” by society. (Outcasts unite!)
Through the important relationships Zhuzhi-Lang and Wen Ning have with Tianlang-Jung and Wei Wuxian respectively, we see the sides of them that tend to be ignored by society, arguably precisely because of how human those qualities are.
Namely, they are notably two people struggling with their sense of self-worth after a lifetime of being looked down upon…Given that, it is understandable how they both can’t help but become (perhaps excessively) attached towards those who treat them kindly. For Zhuzhi-Lang, being nonchalantly taken in & given a human form/name by Tianlang-Jun and inadvertently saved by Shen Qianqiu was more than enough to earn them both a lifetime of selfless loyalty from him. For Wen Ning, the simple act of Wei Wuxian praising and standing up for him at one time left such an impact that it led him to risk his own safety to help Wei Wuxian during the Lotus Pier massacre and subsequently become one of his most devoted allies/followers.
As quoted by Zhuzhi-Lang, the phrase “a drop of kindness is repaid as a gushing spring” appears to be the philosophy that these two are dedicated to following.
