I Had A Dream Where My Mother Found Out About My Byler Obsession And We Were At Dinner And She Confronted

MIKE IS A RAGING HOMOSEXUAL PROOF I AM DUFFER BROTHER 😲 like he said "what about us?" in a platonic context and mike is immediately defensive

Will: how come you never called me in Lenora?

Mike: Will, I couldn't possibly!! You know El and I are together! Are you saying I should cheat on her? On my girlfriend?? How could you even think such a-

made and curated by yours truly for the byler nation 💗😼 on topic but probably off topic, mike is traumatized and probably depressed and nobody talks about it i feel like not to make a shitpost all serious but..

real. if mileven is truly going to be endgame then why put all the effort in wills storyline, having a crush on mike, having this painting be so important etc. i just dont understand it if they are going to abandon the storyline or i guess abandon the possibility of mike and will having a romantic relationship like why go through this effort just to queerbait people?? its not like they are going to lose their entire fanbase just because they dont end up together (there's plenty of casual viewers) so why put in the time and money to make the scenes regarding their relationship and even in this case the props perfect? why was it so important and why are they not putting in the same if not even more effort into mikes relationship with el if they (somehow) are still going to be together in s5?

Stranger Things ”putting thought into Mleven”

Okay, let’s have that moment now.

I especially appreciate this little detail:

I love how much ST cares about their ”main ship.”Instead of making many versions of this shrine and having a photoshoot just for that, to really make it perfect to show El’s love for Mike, they decided to use a screenshot from the show and call it a day. 😂

But that’s just what they do, right? They don’t spend time and money on something that just shows someone’s love for someone. Oh wait! They did many different versions of Will’s painting, because it had to be perfect.

Why would the prop for unrequited love story have to be perfect and the prop for the main ship doesn’t matter at all?

Yeah, I really love and appreciate this detail. I really do. 😏

will’s happy ending isn’t just “being free from his connection the vecna/upside down” + “being accepted”. he is getting requited love. and yes, it’s definitely going to be him and mike in the end.

at the end of the day, he is getting the romantic love he deserves. they’re quite literally hinted it with this line.

storytelling wise, byler makes sense. there has been so much clear build up and they saved mike finding out about will’s feelings and the truth behind his painting for the FINALE SEASON. also i promise y’all if he was gonna get rejected, they wouldn’t be cruel+have it in season 5 when his character has gone through ENOUGH and they’ve shown how will’s love for mike has only grown 10x STRONGER throughout the seasons.

saying “will’s storyline is mostly JUST about finally being accepted “ is absolute bullshit because yes, that’s 1000% part of it but that’s not his happy ending. he’s going to find out his love for mike is requited.

he’s getting what his heart desires. the show is going to send a message that queer people don’t just have to accept the “bare minimum”

you need to remember that they’re continuously showing will in love with mike for a reason. if he was gonna be rejected. he would have done that by now. they had multiple chances to do that in the past already.

stranger things is all about plot twists. the fact that mike had feelings for will all along+never fully accepted it+ shoved those feelings down is something that can be a plot twist. mike didn’t find out yet about will lying about el “commissioning” the painting yet for a reason.

SO REAL BRO IS VISIBLY REPULSED boyliker activity

Dont'cha just love cinematography

honestly you're right, there are still reasons to doubt it but why would they set that up in the first place? with my post i just wanted to vent my frustrations, i'm not trying to say it wont happen i'm just upset and kind of confused because if this was going to happen in the end why not leave more time for their relationship to become something more instead of (i dont know i dont want to say rushing but for lack of better words lets say rushing) them getting together in the end. the duffers can do whatever they want its their show so why not? then again we all might be delulu but we'll see lol!

on byler possibly being endgame..

i want so bad for byler to be endgame but its like so many things are telling me its gonna happen but then again bro how i am waiting for two straight men in their thirties to write this shit man. like its so obvious in the show the tension between them, part of it makes me angry because i feel like maybe they just did that to lead people on so the lgbtq community would like be happy with it or make us happy?? which that doesn't make anyone satisfied like at all. screw you if you are just queerbaiting people it makes me so upset ugh (but honestly i'm not surprised tbh) but then again why would you start that storyline for will and just have mike be accepting and then nothing happens with that?? and the whole cast seems to be hinting towards something or some shit idek man like even if will gets a happy ending with a like a whole new character that wouldn't make any sense at all so what gives? actually what gives

I probably wouldn't like byler as much if I were straight because part of the ship is built around / only makes sense if we're talking about a gay ship. part of why they're made for each other is because mike makes will feel special and "normal" and will doesn't feel like that because he is gay. stop it with this "what if byler was straight, then you wouldn't like it" bs. it was never meant to be straight

i need better ideas for these mike wheeler images

i'm very normal about this specific shot from the van scene i promise!!

NO WAY. NO GODDAMN WAY.

SHUT UP OMG
