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
LIVE WILL REACTION ‼️
SERIOUSLY THOUGH THIS IS SICK IM IN LOVEEE YES.
put eyeliner on mike wheeler in s5 (can bet will is going to trip over his legs if that happens too)
wowie thanks 4 one hundred likes :)
im going to start violently sobbing
Mike crying himself to sleep at night because he wants to stop having thoughts about Will because he thinks he's a monster for loving his best friend like that
MY MOM TOOK A PICTURE OF IT AND ITS JUST SITTING IN HER GALLERY ???
i drew mike and will in their airport scene outfits on my desk
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.
i had a dream where my mother found out about my byler obsession and we were at dinner and she confronted me and it was just not a good look for me tbh
NO WAY. NO GODDAMN WAY.
SHUT UP OMG
No but imagine if Finn once again would be completely clueless that he plays a gay character. I can imagine the Duffers saying like “Finn, look at Will like you’re painfully in love with him” “WHAT” “NO QUESTIONS JUST DO IT”
And Finn be like: “k I don’t get why but k”
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?
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. 😏
boykisser activity tbh 😒 my names neil and i use they/he or no pronouns ,i talk about various ships in ST (mostly byler) and also whatever else i want to write occasionally
