Soā¦ Iāve been gone a long time. Like two months or so? I havenāt been able to simply enjoy things in a long time, let alone fandom. I have a bunch of catching up to do and donāt know what all Iāve missed. Iāll still be slow getting back into a better swing of thingsāof enjoying and participating about Byler or STābut I hope everyone on this tag is happy/ doing well/ making it. I miss seeing Bylers! I miss communicating with so many of you too. And bouncing off of great ideas and conversations. I just miss having fun here!
Thank you to everyone who has been so kind to tag me in things while Iāve been gone too. And just receiving kindness too. You all mean a lot to me, truly ššš

Thanks for tagging me! This is another great picrew idea!
This is me actually putting effort into a look (when I feel good) vs when I worked at Disney World. The yellow shirt looks a LOT like what I had to wear not too long ago! I only wish I could blend the blonde and red hair colors to get closer to my shade!

@stranger-chichka thank you so much for tagging me!! I love learning more about others here and sharing. Itās always great to see this amongst Bylers (and anybody who jumps in)! I still need to watch The Whale! Itās on my list. I also have not seen your sense of style yet (I think?), but I bet you have a great style!
Tea, coffee, or soda? Most of the time it will be tea. I have a whole cabinet filled with an assortment of loose-leaf tea!
Dogs or cats? Cats. Almost always been around them and enjoy their energy.
Can you play an instrument? Sadly nope. Wish I learned something earlier in life.
Whatās your sign? Cancer š
First song lyrics that pop into your head: āOut there, strolling by the Seine/ Taste a morning out there, like ordinary menā¦ā (Out There, Disneyās Hunchback)
Do you have any tattoos? Yep. One, on the back of my left shoulder. Spent almost two years in South Korea and got a blue and pink butterfly before leaving as an experience marker. Maybe Iāll get more one day.
This is right after I got her on me, almost six years ago. I have since touched her up with more blue around the edges. Sheās still beautiful āŗļø
Favorite place youāve traveled? I havenāt traveled to many places in retrospect, but, when it comes to where I want to go back to, I always think of when I visited one of my best friends at her familyās home in Tokyo. I want to go visit her and her family again so badly, especially now that she has a family of her own!
Whatās the last movie you watched? Hunger Games, Mockingjay Part II. Iām so glad Iāve finally gotten into this series (books next!)
What languages do you speak? English. And I had a basic enough grasp on Korean at one point. Not to the point of fluency by any means, but I could hold my own when out and about in S. Korea. Currently, I remember a little.
Do you have any hobbies? Writing, reading, analyzing media (when my brain is in it), and collecting art menus from a Florida bakehouse I love. Most of the concepts and stories for the art revolve around oddities/ feeling odd or out of place. Thereās a broad range of characters and themes in each of them that I find comforting.
Hereās a few of them! Girl in the middle is my favorite!
You can hang out with one fictional character for an hour. Who do you choose? Will Byers. I would spend the hour being maternal and just treating him to whatever he wants. And many hugs TāT
Compliment yourself: Iām hospitable. I like to take care of people.

@sandinmybed thank you for tagging me!! I enjoyed reading all this! (And my apologies for a late response!)
@andiwriteordie I love that youāve pointed out Mike sharing Karenās fiery but still caring aspects! I also think about them both snapping back at authority figures. Thereās a lot of great parallels for this mother and son, positive and negative.
In terms of negative, this has made me think more about what the affect of emotional parental absence has had on Mike. Karen has set the stage for Mike to come to her, to tell her anything. I believe she means that, but, like @sandinmybed said, it shouldnāt be on Mike to simply open up if he feels he canāt. And if he feels he canāt actually go to his mom to open up and tell her anything after all, then it shows she isnāt opening up herself enough to make Mike feel like he can.
I made a post awhile ago about Mike and Karen wearing very similar yellow shirts with blue and red stripes in s3. Thereās a clear link there. When Karen has her conversation with Nancy about how people always aim to hold you back (ātell you that you canāt, that you shouldnātā) but believes Nancy is a fighter, Karen is wearing this shirt. I feel that this is meant to show that Karen would think this way for Mike too. That he too is a fighter. That he is strong-willed. But because she has not been more emotionally available for him, or as attentive to him, as well as invaded his personal space, she has unknowingly had a hand in creating emotional disconnects in Mikeās actions/lack of actions. She has unintentionally held her own son back, because now he holds himself backālikely far more so than he would have had she not left it up to Mike to come to her.
Mike needs his mom. Truly needs her to be there for him in a way that allows him to truly feel comfortable opening up to her. He deserves to hear the words Karen told Nancy and more. He deserves the catharsis.
soā¦ yāall do realize that Mikeās relationship with his mom is not healthy, right?
Or am I gonna need to explain why having a mom that outwardly says sheās āthere for youā and does genuinely care, but is never actually emotionally available in part due to having a completely absent husband is not exactly a recipe for a healthy mother-son relationship š

Will Canāt Remember His Childhood Very Well
This is something Iāve been theorizing for a while, but I didnāt realize until upon rewatch that they tell us this in the show. Itās been there in plain sight the whole time and Iāve picked up on it until now.
It happens during the Jonathan and Will talk in Surfer Boy Pizza:
Jonathan is sharing the story about Larry the Lego man and Will canāt remember. Or he does, but itās just vaguely.
They then emphasize that Jonathan does remember it very well.
And yeah okay, not many people can remember their childhoods very well, but this is also a television show where things that are written often have deeper meanings and dual purposes.
Will doesnāt ever have a moment where he says āOh yeah, I remember now.ā Instead he actually claims that Jonathan is just speaking bullshit.
Yes I know that this scene wasnāt orginally in the script and was added later, but that isnāt a valid argument to disuade itās importance because the fact of the matter is, itās still a scene in the show. The creative process is interesting that way. Things can change every step of the way. It doesnāt make it any less intentional.
And then you combine this with NINA, the importance of memories in the last season, birthdaygate, twelvegate, Henryās connection to Will, itās safe to say that Willās foggy memory of his childhood is written in for a reason, and this will be crucial in season 5.
