Okay, I went on the Mileven tag because they got some amazing development in Volume 2, and it's filled with b*ler stans, claiming the they were 'queer baited'. I call bullshit.
You ship whatever you want, as long as it is within reason and you can accept canon.
And right now, it is canon that Mileven is endgame.
I love how people just decided one day 'yah fez definitely hates lexis bike' and all of the ao3 writers ran with it
And I am eating them up.
This is now my Canon
I also really like the idea that Fez has been out of the high school socialization game so long that he has no idea who is considered cool/hot and who isn’t. So like he just assumes that because Lexi is so beautiful and interesting and funny that she must have tons of friends and guys after her. So when she doesn’t text him at first he’s like yeah that’s fair 😔 she probably has a ton of guys chasing her and I’m just some dropout she saw commit a felony assault 😔😔 and then when he finds out that she’s nervous because she doesn’t think he would really like her he’s just like????? The fuck??
Edit: officially adding Ekko
My thought process
I am in so much pain because of the lack of Fexi scenes, what the fuck am I supposed to do at episode 7&8 when shit goes really fucking down and something horribly bad could happen?
guess I'll die.
Everytime I think I've found a cool fellow Will Byers stan, I go to their blog and find out they genuinely believe b*ler is going to become canon. I've generally become a "ship and let ship" person, but there is this certain group of shippers that give me big "death threats to the duffers for failing our ship" vibes. I see a massive meltdown and harassment campaign against the Duffers and Shawn Levy once they truly realize their ship was never the plan and it makes me nervous as fuck.
Not vibing with the way Faye was looking at Fez
^^^^
People’s reactions to the Thor reveal has really thrown into relief:
1) People really think Marvel is an accurate representation of Norse mythology
2) Hollywood has really fucked up people’s perceptions of the human body
3) Fatphobia is gross and stupid.
I'm all about taking the canon ships and ripping them apart and making your own shit up...but I feel like byler fans are setting themselves up for all the disappointment
Now wait a minute-
I have a feeling in the letter that Fez wrote for Lexi was him asking her to be official aka boyfriend & girlfriend 😭😭😭😭
