just look at them

Mike realises his feelings a little too late

[bbluesidess]

I wrote this before the finale came out, but it ended up being very similar to #that scene, so I guess you can pretend this is a rewrite. With flirting as it should be.

i'm seeing ppl saying the documentary shows chatGPT tabs open while scripts were being written and my first thought was 'wait is THAT what led to milkshakegate???'

bc if AI was being used in writing the scripts it would surely be drawing from stuff about the series that's been posted online (???) so it wouldn't necessarily differentiate between TFS and the show itself, which could account for the mixup of which iteration of melvald's will is familiar with.

and it would also explain why 'mike the brave' is used to establish holly the heroic and then never mentioned again...

annnnnd the misuse of the word 'innate' if will's powers are understood to only derive from vecna via the hivemind...

and the inconsistency of why will was unharmed when vecna was defeated...

and why the 'melting room' thing is so random and never relevant again after the jancy breakup...

and why it literally doesn't matter that there were 12 kids...

is this why robin explicitly mentioned will's bowlcut TWICE??? bc it gets brought up so often online???

and were the stonathan bait and the 'babes at emerson' line even intentional or were they just there bc it was drawing from scraped fanfiction???

ACTUALLY ON THE WHOLE IT EXPLAINS WHY THE DUFFERS HAVE BEEN SO VAGUE IN THEIR INTERVIEWS. "I WOULD ASSUME" THIS, "UP TO INTERPRETATION" THAT. THEY DON'T FUCKING KNOW BECAUSE IT IS *LITERALLY* SLOP FROM THE MACHINE!!!

[thatswhyhestays]

This whole situation is ABSURD, it's even getting funny lmao. Why do they keep contradicting themselves in every interview???? Why do they keep giving us ambiguous answers???? Why did they show us they used Chatgpt without any problem?????? Why did they admit they don't know that much about DnD????? Why are they completely humiliating themselves and ruining their careers???????? 💀

[camrlart]

they got together off screen

[lilyimsoafraid]

the part where Hopper thought he shot Jane was the best part of the finale I think. it had me quaking in my boots praying. it was such a great sequence, and I wish they had kept going with the Vecna mind games instead of Giant Enemy Spider.

college byler

[emblazons]

even with platonic byler the tammy line STILL doesn't fucking hold up. Mike is deadass STILL sitting there mad Will wants to go to a party because its more important they play DND 18 months later, flirting with his ass with vampire teeth and "time to join your friends, sorcerer." Even Mike saying that's his BEST friend implying that they're locked in for life, not just someone ANYTHING LIKE like Robin's first crush.

They didn't even kill Will's hope right if they wanted to end it—especially given Mike never even said he loved El at the very end . OR MAYBE THATS THE AMBIGUOUS ASS POINT. All the normals see "oh yeah see its a crush he gets over" and meanwhile Mike and Will are now canonically girlfriend-less and playing DND in his basement for the rest of their lives b/c the final shot is the literal fucking basement. Bye

will stages an intervention!

(don't you love how, due to the duffers' not committing to their own ending, absolutely nothing prevents this from 100% happening)

[shellyeahbro]

College byler are roommates and Will is thriving, goes to parties but still wakes up for class, sloppy hookups, having the time of his life and Mike stays in the dorm, doesn’t party, studies and writes, doesn’t even go on dates. Will tries to drag him out to just get out of the dorm room, but Mike doesn’t like Wills new friends or going out in general, he only likes one on one time with Will.

But let’s say Mike finally caves and goes to a party because he’d do anything for Will and Will just keeps begging. And let’s say Mike has a little too much to drink and Will gets him back to their room and Mike spills a little bit too much info that night but the next morning they talk it out and BOOM byler kiss

This is literally just me rambling but if anyone sees this and wants a fic idea out of it, you’re more than welcome

[mindflamer]

i think what really gets me is they wrote a fucking tragic ending but presented it as a happy one. it seems clear to me they wrote mike as a closeted gay man. even till the very end, there is subtext about mike and about byler. but will ends up in a bar with a random boy and mike ends up alone in his room with the painting from will on the wall. he talks about a story he can never tell and cries putting his binder next to will's. he never said i love you back to his girlfriend before she died. it's fucking tragic, but they couldn't even commit to that. it's wrapped up in looking like a happy ending to everyone but the queer people who devoted our time, love, and attention to their story. we are left devastated in a way nobody else can see, as if that doesn't already happen to queer people enough.

[willelmikes]

the thing is i would've been okay with no byler if they had actually, you know, written a good story, like, outside of it,
