HMM MAYBE MIKELOVER OR SM-‘ (and that one interview of describing s4 in 3 emojis, noah said the pizza, scared (or sm for horrorish stuff) and an eggplant emoji :skull: what was the abt huh) AND HE GETS SO HYPED WHEN BYLERS MENTIONED WHY ELSE WOULD HE SHIP THEM FINNS NOT AS CRAZY AS NOAH AND I THINK HE HAS LESS INTERVIEWS BUT THE ONE INTERVIEW WITH DAVID HARBOUR AND CALEB MCLAUGHIN OMLL PARAPHRASING BUT david: wills doesn’t have a crush on el.. it’s someone else in the group finn, giggling abt it :p: yea yea you’ll see- david: he’s VERY interested in- FINN YELLING BLUE AND YELLOW MEET IN THE WEST AND FINNS REACTION TO THE MILKVAN MONOLOGUE BRETT GELMAN SAYING IN A TWEET THAT HE DOESNT SHIP BYLER IF BYLERS NOT FOR BYLER BUT THEN WHY DOES HE SHIP IT? HELLO?? THEM HAVING MATCHING JACKETS AND STRIPES IN S2 AND MATCHING WATCHES OFC WILLS IN LOVE WITH HIS BEST FRIEND. WERE YOU EXPECTING ANYTHING OTHER THAN HIM FALLING HEAD OVER HEELS FOR SOMEONES WHOVE BEEN WITH HIM IN THE GOOD AND BAD STUFF AND STILL BE BY HIS SIDE AND PROTECT AND DEFEND HIM? ITS JUST SO /WILL/ IT'S SO SWEET- AND MIKE ISNT GONNA REJECT WILL THE STORY STARTED BC HE LOVES HIM. HES SO WHIPPED FOR THAT BOY I SWEAR- HES LITERALLY THE TROPE ‘I HATE EVERYONE EXCEPT MY SIGNIFICANT OTHER’ WILLS THE ONLY PERSON THAT MIKES NEVER GOTTEN SERIOUSLY ANGRY WITH AND IF YOU SAY BUT WB THE RAIN SCENE WHEN WILL LEFT MIKE DIDNT WASTE A SECOND AND RAN AFTER HIM, DRAGGED LUCAS WITH HIM, AND THEY BIKED IN THE RAIN AFTER WILL. MIKE IS SHOWN AS RLLY ARROGANT AND MOODY ESPECIALLY IN THE LAST 2 SEASONS BUT HES ALWAYS GENTLE WITH WILL AND USES THE WILLVOICE. MIKE IS CONSTANTLY CONCERNED AND WORRIED TO WILL, WHOS MORE OBVIOUSLY IN TOUCH WITH HIS FEELINGS THAN MIKE IS ik a lot of ppl don’t believe that there could be a queer relationship is stranger things but i disagree. it’s literally called stranger things; a story abt underdogs trying to fit in, seen as ‘weird’ and ‘nerdy’ to society. all the characters go through some sort of trauma whether is obvious or in the dark and I don’t think it’s /not/ normal if some of them are a part of the lgbtq+ community. ‘but it’s the 80s-‘ ISTG GUYS DUSTIN CALLS SUZIE BRILLIANT AND HOTTER THAN PHOEBE CATES, STEVE CALLS ROBIN HILARIOUS (not a ship), NANCY SAYS JONATHANS CARING AND PROTECTIVE, JONATHON SAYS NANCY IS HARDWORKING AND AMBITIOUS AND THEN THERES MIKE, CALLING EL SUPERMAN AND THAT SHE CAN MOVE MOUNTAINS BC OF HER POWERS YADA YADA LIKE EVEN WHEN HES ‘CONFESSING HIS LOVE’ TO EL IN THE KITCHEN MIKE DOESNT MENTION ANYTHING ABT HER LOYALTY, BRAVERY, ETC PLUS WILLS ALSO IN THE SHOT IF THEY WANTED IT TO BE ROMANTIC, WILL WOULDNT BE THERE that's just basic cinematography NO HE SAID SHE WAS A SUPERHERO AND THAT WAS PROBABLY THE LAST THING SHE WANTED TO HEAR ATM EVEN WHEN HES TALKING ABT EL HE DOESNT COMPARE HER TO WONDERWOMAN OR SUPER GIRL LIKE MAX AND ARGYLE NO HE REFERS TO HER AS SUPER/MAN/ we all know that mike and wills relationship has always been different since the first episode of s1 and they show us how determined mike is to find will and he doesn’t believe that wills ded even when they see his fake b0dy. the party’s really close, but mike are will are closer than the others, knowing each other for 6-7 yrs? (SIX SEVENNN) at that point and when he’s talking abt his bffs, he says dustin and lucas’s nm but what is will to him then? we know they’re besties but why separate them? i am not ok- BYLER PARALLELS TO A TON OF CANON SHIPS IE LUMAX, JOPPER, JANCY, ROCKIE(soon to be most likely) (BRO WE DIDNT EVEN GET THEM) why. why is there so much t e n s i o n between will and mike? why is it so emphasized? why are their fight scenes so important and dramatic and just beautiful?? why are their moments so carefully crafted and intimate? why are all of their scenes take so long to finish? I don’t see that w dustin and lucas hMm? mike having his will spidey senses and notices will moping and rolling his eyes subtly but not seeing his gf obviously uncomfortable with her ‘friends’ :skull: why must all of their moments be insanely beautiful just look: -shed scene (the lighting when Mike was telling the story of how they met was amazing and mike being in wills light aaaA-)
-the rain scene (bonus: it’s almost identical to another movie forgot what it’s called and ‘it’s not my fault you don’t like girls’ and ‘I’m not gay like you!’ are p r e t t y similar don’t ya think) -rink o mania old married couple arguing scene (aGain with the yellow and blue lighting) -after burr ying the b0dy at the desert and sitting on the car (parallel to jancy sitting on the car at school, ‘sometimes it’s scary to open up like that.. bc what if they don’t like the truth?’, and their postures were as straight as them) -talk in wills room scene (mike looked at that cake and bit his lip yall he has fallen hard and he can’t get back up hh) -the entire van scene (just. a masterpiece. the cgi’d hearts in their eyes, the artificial lighting outside bc it showed the word boy from surfer boy pizza a ton w Mike - OH YEA I JUST REMEMBERD I DONT HAVE SPACE IN THE FIRST BOX BUT MATTHEW MODINE CALLED MIKE A PRIDE FLAG OR SM LMAO EVEN PAPAS IN BYLER NATION mike feels like he’s nothing special but will makes him feel like the leader of the group, the heart, and capable to inspire others. will feels like a mistake and a freak for being himself but mike makes him feel better for being different. they’re made for each other <3 ok back to the actors… noah’s like our captain for byler nation, but once finn makes a public statement abt byler it’s over. nobody knows what’s going on in his floof head (just like mike wheeler :-) s4 was basically just will and mike pining over each other nothing else hhh no one blamed hopper for being in love with joyce while she was dating bob, and most started shipping them smh no one blamed jonathan for being in love with nancy while she was dating steve, and most started shipping them but will being in love with mike is ‘disgusting’ and ‘vile’ because mike is “straight” and still dating el, will becomes a homewrecker?? like wth yall- and this ending is way too good to pass up for the duffers i mean a slow burn friends to lovers in the 80s? hell yes there’s a ton more but I’m tired :’)) so uh yea im still so mad -alex 2026
