How Could Anyone NOT Expect Byler To Be Canon After Mike’s Entire Arc This Season Was About Being Unable

it's fun to joke about will becoming a villain, but it's very confusing to me that there are people who genuinely believe that's a thing that might happen (and would even want it to!) since:

1) one of the two gay characters being a villain would be far worse than him being sad over unrequited feelings. not to mention how awful the part of the audience that already hates him for no reason would get once they feel validated in their contempt.

2) he deserves to have a moment where he stands up for himself (or someone else), and i would hate to see that villainised. it'd be such an important step for his character, and he deserves it to be framed as something positive!

3) if henry tried to manipulate will into joining his side by pointing out all the similarities they share, but will refused (highlighting how different they are when it actually matters) that would make for a much better story, a much stronger message, and would make much more sense for will's character.

4) unless he was being controlled again, will just wouldn't do that. he's loving and selfless and he'd never hurt his friends or family (or fight his sister) out of his own choice. which is not to say that he isn't allowed to feel hurt and hopefully even talk about how upset he is but.. not in some villainous monologue.

writing a fic or joking about it is one thing, but in reality making will a villain would be even more unfair to him than being sidelined. meanwhile having him play an important role in defeating vecna would be super interesting, and would actually make sense!

There's a mistake I see a lot of people in the mental health community make and in all honesty, it's one I've made myself. But I think we should really work on it. And that's saying "if this were a physical illness, wouldn't you care?"

I've learned that no actually, people wouldn't care. Katelyn Weinstein (theADHDprincess on Twitter) is a neurodiversity acceptance activist who really put this in perspective for me. She said that it's actually more an issue of longevity than physical vs mental health.

If you're having a bad day people will generally be understanding. But when you're experiencing chronic depression and you have many bad days people lose sympathy.

In the same respect people may be understanding when you've broken a bone that will heal properly or when you have a cold that will go away soon in ways they simply won't understand when you have chronic pain or need to use a wheelchair. They may send chicken soup for a temporary situation, but when you need consistent accomodations it's an entirely different story.

I understand that from our perspective it looks like people care more about physical health than mental health, but it's good to remember that our own perspective is also limiting. Facing ableism doesn't mean you can't be ableist. And I know so many people are not ill-intentioned when they say this. I know I wasn't. But we can't discount the lived experiences of physically disabled people. If we want true equality we need to be united and we need to listen to those with physical disabilities and illnesses. And those with physical disabilities and illnesses (some of which are also invisible) have said that they are not given proper accomodations either.

So let's be united and fight for equality and accomodations for everyone, no matter what their illness or disability may be.

SOMEONE WRITE THIS RIGHT NOW

I see your "Gi-hun glitches back in time and wakes up again at the beginning of the 36th Games and gets a chance to re-do the rebellion knowing who Young-il really is"

And I raise you

Gi-hun dies in the rebellion and wakes up in his mother's apartment in 2021 on Ga-yeong’s birthday - the day he'll receive a business card from a man playing ddakji.

Gi-hun makes it his goal from there forward to halt the Games with this new advantage, and goes in again for the first time.

Bonus points: it becomes a love triangle between Sang-woo and In-ho, the two men Gi-hun is trying desperately to save

If I had a nickel for every time I shipped a queer ship where I thought Character A was more heavily implied queer than Character B, only for the show to shock me by making Character B confirmed queer (but not yet Character A), I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s very odd that it’s happened twice.

MY POOR BOY LUCERYS 😭😭😭

el listens to jolene and thinks about max in the gym with mike and how she totally could take her man if she wanted and how she has flaming locks of auburn hair and ivory skin and eyes of emerald green blue and she seethes and ponders and plays the song over and over again until one day max goes “yeah, dolly parton was, like, totally in love with jolene” and then el’s brain short circuits

I want to be her controversial younger girlfriend
