I Love You Will Byers I Love That You’re So Cheesy That You Painted The Love Of Your Life As A Knight

Steve helpfully offering his hand to everyone boarding the boat, only to get ignored or unnoticed every single time. that’s it, that’s the post

HELP NOT TUMBLR POSTING THIS ON INSTA 😭

i know it's been said before but destiel being the perfect reflection of romeo and juliet is top tier writing and execution

this really just makes me go feral. like they really did that.

i will NEVER get over this 😭😭

my brother in christ michael sorry to break it to you but you are in love

the way he’s desperately searching for will’s eyes and gulping- i cant im jumping off a cliff

I’m so annoyed that they made Cas weaker in the later seasons. They had him constantly being beat up every time he went at an enemy. I’m currently watching a scene where Mary seems to be getting more licks in than Cas did.

Personally, I think the WB hated that they were made to bring Cas back and found ways to punish his character for it.

He was a warrior angel who led his own battalion. Wings weren’t what made him a good fighter. He kicked ass in that barn fight when Zachariah had Dean and Sam writhing in pain.

It just really pisses me off that post S7 they have him constantly getting his ass handed to him.

“queerbaiting” vs “straight-baiting”

with all the recent “controversy” surrounding the whole “mike likes el” thing, i just want to say this so that people don’t get in over themselves. 

as others have said before, doubt is important for both sides to stay engaged. they need us to remain hooked in so we’ll watch s5 and generate revenue and blah blah blah. 

but just remember (looking at u heteros) queerbaiting is a very real thing, and “straight-baiting” does not exist. like at all. 

queerbaiting is a term used to describe our very real exclusion from mainstream media. it’s honestly quite malicious, because showrunners and filmmakers use queer audiences as a pawn. they never intend to represent us, they just want to lure us in so they can maximise their views and profits. 

which just means, yet again, that mainstream media will invariably pander to the GA, which is why “straight-baiting” can’t exist. ur already the majority, everything is already made for u. why would mainstream media need to hook u in, when u already make up a significant portion of their viewership anyway?

like lets not forget that stranger things currently has a 0:4 ratio of leading queer couples and leading het couples. they currently have a 2:12 ratio of explicitly leading queer characters and leading het characters. 

this means that yes, if byler doesn’t happen, it will be queerbaiting. why? queer audiences do not have rich, complex, fully developed relationships in this show otherwise. sure, we have will, who is indubitably a complex and rich character, with seasons-worth of development, but… 1:12? is this really the type of representation that queer audiences deserve? and if byler does happen, that’ll change the ratio to 1:3, which really isn’t that significant because yet again, u are the majority. 

u cannot be baited with rich, complex, fully developed representation pouring out the show for u. u cannot just use a term that is rooted in our historical prohibition from media, just because the ship u want isn’t canon. ur personal disappointment cannot even begin to mirror the collective betrayal and rejection that is felt when queer audiences are intentionally mislead and cast to the side. 

perhaps we are all insane .
