sorry guys when ppl refer to noah schnapp as “whatever that is” or “that thing” i fear we’re crossing the antisemitism line
like i KNOW the duffers are going to trick us with mileven
EDIT: WAIT THE BYLER TAGS TRENDING
are we seeing this??? my brother in christ
Not to be a downer on the byler tag but I feel conflicted now that I'm back on st twitter
FIRST I don't want this whole post to be a rehash of the Noah controversy it's always a rinse and repeat of the same points. Yes, Zionism is bad (DUH) but I feel like we can seperate silly little gay characters from the actors, it's commonplace.
BUT I will say that death threats, threats of physical harm, or insults don't help. Those behaviors only cause defensiveness and if you want to change someone's opinion you have to be understanding. Everyone is shaped by their environment and if I was exposed to different influences growing up I'd be a totally different person today, not to say that people can't control their own decisions, but social pressure and ingrained prejudice is very real. Not everyone has the courage to become a social pariah, PLUS everyone believes they are a good person. That they are the one that is morally righteous, in any situation. It can make them blind to the truth, but you can't change that in one day.
EVERYONE WANTS TO BE A GOOD PERSON.
SECOND and the point I actually wanted to make is that I'm sorry but people will always be consumers, and you can't decide how they will spend their money, but do you think going to a con bc you like a tv show and ALL the amazing people in it is the same as openly supporting a genocide?!?? Like why direct all your (valid) frustration with the state of how people view palestinians onto 2 girls who are just there bc they like a ship in fandom??
Also I'll never understand the need to be mean to people online can't we all just be normal 😭
Like even if I know someone has opinions I am vehemently against I'm still cordial with them unless they bring it up, like I don't try to insult anyone but CEO's, billionaires, and those who sustain global war campaigns. Not anybody online who has an incorrect or even sometimes so disgustingly uninformed opinion. OR ARE JUST THERE TO DO SOMETHING THEY ENJOY LIKE????
Idk this was a ramble but I hate this, I understand that more people need to be aware of the horrible inhumane things continuing to occur in gaza, but this almost feels counterproductive, why use it as a reason to call people (who didn't even bring it into the conversation) ugly? The movement is all about SUPPORT and BRINGING AWARENESS is this the kind of awareness we need? where we call anyone ignoring or uncaring towards this massacre ugly when instead we could educate? Not to say we shouldn't call people out but be constructive! Help them understand instead of telling them to kill themselves, this feels like it isn't helping.
Thank you for listening to my tedTALK byler nation
I'm so fed up w these people on Twitter like bffr
A force of gravity by @oceanfruitsstuff
A MUST READ FOR BYLERS
i nearly have no words that can encapsulate the rollercoaster of emotions this book has put me through. i already gushed about this before but i want to leave another note here, too. I hope one day oceanfruit will publish this. i’m seriously planning on printing all 800 pages of this out and annotating it because it astonishing how high quality this is. for a fic that doesn't have a beta? MARVELLOUS!!!!
so many times i felt as though i was watching a real person's life because the dialogue was so authentic. everything that everyone said flowed so naturally and all i can describe it as is like silk.
characters? chefs kiss.
they're so raw and human. many times i was just left staring at the screen, my eyes glued to the text, on the verge of tears because i resonated with them. their stories and arcs were so beautiful, and just natural. it's an amazing separation from the idea that characters are black and white and how that assumption can draw people into a spiral within the story, too.
Further, the author introduces us to so many complex ideas and does not let them drop: everything makes sense.
the semantic field of colour, the pathetic fallacy and the IMAGERY!!! so many amazing language techniques were used, and all of them had a profound purpose within the text. Parallelism is the bread and butter of byler nation so i already knew that this fic wouldn't fall flat but, gosh, i didn't expect it to be this great.
i don't even want to start on the plot because DAMNNNN
i’m just saying: if you liked aristotle and dante, you'll love this one.
i can go on and on and on about this for hours and i'll probably update my review after i've completed my annotations and my psychoanalysis of all the characters but for now, there are my final words:
Micheal Wheeler, you're so lovable and you'll always be famous.
Will Byers, they can NEVER make me hate you and you're so lovable.
If you have any love for Code Geass, even if you don't read fanfiction, read this.
this is what I've been doing the last week. if you know you know.
UR NEW FIC IS SO GOOD AAHHH everyone should read it xxx
so true darling so true <3
You're so real for shipping stonathan
yessssssss I have fortunately fallen down the stonathan rabbit hole and can’t seem to find my way out
Katarina turned to face him. "But Simon, you're not the only person who wants to help others. I'd say a fair number of people do. Most are simply too caught up in their own lives to spare the time or effort.
It takes a unique brand of lunacy to throw everything away and go marching on a mission – one that, in all likelihood, shall end with your death."
Em, 18, stranger things, fanfiction, and stranger things fanfiction ★★★ random out of pocket thoughts (90% byler ofc)
