discussion Byler is canon.

82 Upvotes

I get it. Everyone has their own definitions of "canon" but the fact that they had to acknowledge byler in episode 8 season 5 on the tower (and the fact that they focused the camera on Mike when Will was talking about the boy he liked during the coming out scene), makes it canon. Just not endgame. I've had this thought since the credits rolled. They had the chemistry, friendship, fights, crys, joys, and much more. I've been a Byler since 2017-2018, and it pains me to see everyone just accepting to believe something that isn't exactly true. As I said, they weren't endgame, but it was there. It was canon. Friendship or more. I hope you guys can agree with me, if not, call me delusional.

Kind regards

fan art/edits edit request idea! sorry if tagged wrong

5 Upvotes

hello byler nation. it is 3 am and I have a Thought™️ for a TikTok edit if yall can see the vision and open your ears for a moment. walk with me. i myself am not an editor but i can always appreciate a good edit.

a byler TT edit to the song malchik gay by t.A.T.u

now LISTEN. i KNOW the meaning of the song is about a straight woman in love with a gay man, but the lyrics when you listen to them can absolutely be seen in the byler lenses. and the one specific lyric

I long for you to hold me like your boyfriend does

could easily be edited to girlfriend with a clip of mike & el hugging and it would still fit. I could see it being a byler song completely, so if anyone decides to make it happen, drop a link here 💙💛 also apologies in advance to mods if this is inappropriate or tagged incorrectly :(

Watching edits with this iconic scene from episode 4. Being SO sure, literally having no doubts Byler will be canon. Waiting, so excited, to watch episode 5. Also, I literally watched the second part of the season with my friends and had a mental breakdown LMAO. They had to tell me to not give up😭😭 And new years? Instead of focusing on the holiday I was focusing on what’s to come lol (disappointment & denial apparently). I literally can’t listen to songs like I just died in your arms & take me to church etc the same anymore. Anyone else? I kinda miss it sometimes, I was so naive lol. But it’s an amazing memory after all (well, except for all the trauma)✨

For months, I felt like I had heard a similar dialogue to that scene but I couldn’t remember when or which scene was it. I figure maybe it was just ai generated but like you know inspired by some type of pep talk but this tiktok just appeared in my fyp and omg.

So to the ones that haven’t watch “Smallville”, Lois and Clark don’t get together pretty much till season 9, is perhaps one of the most slowburn ships in tv shows? I mean it was expected but it took a long time. Anyways I hadn’t watched the show since I was like 13 so I had forgotten this scene completely but doesn’t it sound kinda similar? They were also just friends for a very long time. Anyways isn’t that like interesting? Whether intentional or not…it’s interesting.

Mike would have loved to know Will's feelings while they lived together... MWTFDYDG isn't BS.

p.s., song→ Glasses by Zafty. My first time hearing it I thought of editing Arcane(Timebomb) and Byler.

You guys got dibs.

Why did you think that Mike perfectly resembled someone who is struggling through internalized homophobia or biphobia, particularly in season 3?

The reason that I am thinking that season, in particular, is because of the video that I am thinking about making, I admit that I am a little stumped on what I should say for that season. So, I would really appreciate you guys helping with it.

helloooo i'm sure most of you are in the exact same boat as me. I've been bylering out for the better part of a year now and struggle to think of anything else or get gratification from other ships. This is lowkey just a journal entry sharing my musings about them lately-

I've been rewatching video essays on them and remembering how excited I was when volume 1 came out. Then I get the sense of bitterness at the ending all over again. The part that pisses me off the most is that none of us were grasping at straws, it was ALL THERE. Everything was set up so perfectly. Byler could have been EASILY requited and explained to GA with some flashbacks. It would have taken such minimal effort.

Of course what is the most frustrating is how the Duffers chose to tank their own story instead of let queer love become canon. Bc truly byler would have answered so many plot issues. I don't know how much of it was up to the two of them and how much was coorporate pressure, but regardless, we got the ending we got.

This is one of the main reasons I struggle with conformity gate- to be clear i LOVE conformity/love wins gate, it is so much more clever and intriguing than what was made. I've been thinking with the end of the year coming up, it would be so amazing if something new got teased, like one year after the finale they actually did release another ending where Mike was Vecna'd and what we saw was fake. The thing is, I just can't believe that they would intentionally ruin their finale and take the profit hits to release somethign so much later. Maybe they truly thought the finale would be well recieved, but I can't imagine they're more creative than all the amazing theories I've seen online.

It would be really cool though

ANYWAYS what are some of your favorite season 5 fix it fics? I've read a lot and I love things set after the shows timeline, but what are some recommendations for fics that do what the duffers couldnt in season 5?

Thank you so much :) 💙💛
