@blue-yellow-byler
not gonna lie no matter how things turn out and how many times this dog beats us at chess there's something about the collective hope and hype that fandom keeps bringing to the table and it's such a fun energy to be a part of (even if we end up in the same cycle a million times over)
I always say I donāt have an addiction, but then ao3 goes down and Iām proven wrong

āByler wasnāt queerbaitā mfs when I pull up receipts
some of these r the same but :) I wanted to add to this
As a queer person I assume one day Iāll just wake up with a partner when the Epilogue Gods decide my fate
Noah is the guest on Jimmy Fallon tonight!!!
GUYS I JUST GOT THE TEXT EVERY BYLER DREAMS OF GETTING FROM THEIR IRLS:
Okay, so at the ABSOLUTE MINIMUM, no one is allowed to call Byler a ācrackshipā anymore, right?
our endgame couple!
Does anyone know if weāre getting reviews of the first 3 episodes before they come out tomorrow?
I remember last season, the non-spoiler review embargo lifted 2 days before or something, but I havenāt heard or seen anything this season š¤
consider me died
nothing quite like that phase where youāre not sure whether youāre witnessing one of the greatest slowburn queer love stories ever or some historic queerbaitingā¦. Schrodingerās yaoi
shipping byler makes me feel like a conspiracy theorist sometimes. like "it's all gonna work out in the end, we gotta trust the plan that the duffers have put in place. read the signs. have faith." like jesus christ i love my optimism but i wish i wasn't talking like i have a tinfoil hat on.
You guys know what this is right
MIKE'S POV
We've been waiting 8 YEARS to have ANY of it back.
MIKE POV. BYLER, ELMIKE EVERYTHING.
"he's more likable again in season 5" I can hear it now.
Because you weren't in his mind.
Carmy from the Bear is my prime example. That guy would be like the MOST unlikable.....if you weren't in his head.
It changes everything. To have motivation for you actions.
MIKE POV. WE'RE BACK BABY. 8 YEARS BUT WE'RE BACK.
Mikeās Feelings Will Be Revealed in E5
And it will lead him on a journey to save Will.
I think many of us are familiar with the concept of pivotal Byler moments occurring in the episode that is the same number as the season. Note, pivotal moments, not necessarily the defining Byler moments.
I think the pivotal Byler moment in E5 will be Mikeās true feelings coming to light - and I have a tinfoil hat theory as to how!
Here I theorized that Will is going to possibly make a deal with Vecna prior to the downtown massacre; giving Vecna something of his in order to keep his loved ones safe. I think itās likely Will may keep this transaction a secret from the others.
The climax of E4 is the downtown massacre and Will and Vecnaās confrontation. However, Will seems to still be with the group after this event (?)
At least, he will be corporeally.
I think Will surrendered his mind and abilities to Vecna. Like Maxās condition, this will leave him lost in the ether.
This scene between Mike and Joyce seems to happen in E5 after the downtown massacre. We can make out Will on the couch, Joyce distraught and in prayer, and Mike approaching her, with a determined expression.
These two will undoubtedly have a heart to heart about their respective relationships with Will and how much they love him - and how they are going to try and save him again. After all, these two were incredibly determined to save Will in S1 and S2 and that ferocity is coming back - especially from leader Mike, who was a major focus in the trailer.
I think Mikeās romantic feelings for Will are going to be voiced in this scene with Joyce, and I think he will concoct a plan to get Will back by going into his mind (or the void, or some secret third mental sphere the show has yet to introduce).
And who better to seek help from than El, who had a whole plotline in S4 about traversing through the mind and its memories?
A lot of people theorized that El and Mikeās moment at the makeshift sensory deprivation tank was right before El began to search for Will. I think that is mostly correct, but that we will see Mike nominate himself to look for Will with Elās assistance. El may be initially hesitant on account of how dangerous going back into the mind is (they had to restart her heart in s4!)
āThis isnāt like one of your campaigns.ā
Knowing Mikeās stubborn self, heās not going to back down. I think his determination will clue El into how deep Mikeās feelings go for Will. While I donāt necessarily think this is a coming out scene, the way Mikeās expression subtly shifts from surprise to relief leads me to think that he feels like he can be his truest self - and still be loved.
Also, Mike finding it in himself to be a hero while asking for help from superhero El would be really sweet!
This possibility reminds me of Christopher Nolanās Inception: protagonist Dom and his teammate Ariadne find Domās deceased wife in the subconscious known as Limbo. The Duffers cited Inception on the S4 movie board, and Iām positive its influence will continue into S5.
The set design of Mikeās room featured some possible easter eggs to this plotline: posters of Escherās works āRelativityā and āSphere of Reflectionā. The Relativity poster was hung under Mikeās One Way sign, pointing towards his closet where a mirror and blue and yellow ties were hanging.
Mike searching for Will in some mind-bendy fashion would be a reversal of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind: unlike Joel, who wanted to rid his memories of his relationship with Clementine after she secretly got rid her own, Mike is going to seek out Will through the use of his mind and his memories in order to hold onto Will.
Maybe Mike going under is the finale of E5, with E6 āEscape from Camazotzā seeing the two reunite. Read my batshit theory on ST x Eternal Sunshine here!
Iād also argue that El helping guide Mike to Will is sort of a play on Hecate guiding the spring goddess Persephone out of the Underworld from the myth of Persephoneās abduction (which parallels Will and Vecna).
Mike saving Will from Vecnaās grasp is also so knight in shining armour. Leader Mike putting himself through hell in order to save the love of his life from Death incarnateā¦itās just a little bit excellent!
so this is apparently a fallen paladin and a cleric and in dnd the paladin has to make a confession/ tell a truth to the cleric to have his power back and theyre in a church?
of ALL the theories running around i've always had churchgate as the least likely but we're actually GETTING IT???
but also how do you think this will play out??
idk i always think mike will confess in a very dramatic way.
like what if we get a scene where will figures out that the only way to win and kill vecna is if they severe the connect vecna has to him so they have to kill him first (like harry potter being a horcrux) and will realized this when it's just the two of them.
and will tells mike that he's "ready to go" and so will says his goodbye to everyone he loves through mike. "please tell my mother that i love her, that i'm so sorry for all the things i've put her through, and to jonathan, that he is the best brother in the world and to el... [cont to dustin and lucas"
and then he says he's grateful for hopper, nancy and mike, that he hopes they all can take care of his family and mike is just refusing to hear any of it, while slowly having a break down, shaking his head, enraged and so lost.
and then when will stops, mike finally looks at him. right into his eyes.
"what about me?"
mike then walked to will, until he could back away, until mike held him by the arms, forcing will to look back at him, his voice trembling
"do you really think there's ever going to be a world," he gritted out, "where i would ever be fine living without you next to me?"
"m-mike," will pleaded, he's close to crying, "please, don't do this."
[then cue sad and angry love confession where will genuinely thinks it's vecna trying to mess with his head again, will thinking that vecna is the one who's making mike lie, and he's shaking his head, sobbing to himself as he tries to cover his head, chanting stop, stop, please, don't use him against me, stop.
so then MIKE KISSED HIM to prove that this was all real, was all mike and mike only. and that they both would find a way. mike would find it. he's going to burn the world if he had to.]
