“the storyteller… keeps telling stories. but there is a story he can never tell. or, at least, not the real story.”

idk to me this screams mike was the narrator of stranger things all along, but he couldn’t tell the real story…the real story being of him in the closet…so the story didn’t include his pov. that’s why mike puts his binder next to will’s on the shelf in his basement, and why he looks at will’s particular binder for too long, teary-eyed. why will was the last person to leave mike’s basement, with mike framed in the background. why mike’s wearing a blue shirt. why he resembles his dad. why will’s painting is posted on the wall of mike’s college dorm. why mike seems generally..miserable.

conformitygate save my son please

edit: and oh! it’s why the story starts to get choppy halfway through the final chapter…because mike’s feelings begin boiling over.

i’m not joking when i say that this past week all i can think about is byler…like it’s kinda unhealthy and i can’t wait (i’m going to vomit from crying so hard) until this show is over and i can continue my life normally

[byerswheeler]

does mike wheeler know that he isn’t in love with will byers

[brutalbuckley]

FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU!!! THATS WHY HE WHIPPED AROUMD LIKE THAT!!!! MIKE HAD BYLER HOPE TOO

[brutalbuckley]

guys???? genuinely what’s going on

like this makes so much sense if you think about how the actors have been talking about their characters storylines and plot points that they’re proud of

MISSION THE GREAT CAMAZOTZ CUT

THE ISSUE: STRANGER THINGS SEASON 5 VOLUME TWO has evidently been tampered with. Allegedly there have been entire plotlines and characters a

[brutalbuckley]

can’t wait for the byler ENDGAME edits to fresh out the slammer

[brutalbuckley]

and at the end of the day regardless of whatever the dipshit brothers decide to do, i will be engaging in the narrative that will coming out to everyone gave mike the courage (mike the brave) to tell will how he really feels. i don’t care what they say in interviews, hell, i don’t even care what they say in the show. michael wheeler is in love with william byers and you cannot convince me otherwise.

[brutalbuckley]

and ya know what i’m gonna be even more delusional and say that perhaps the talk between robin and will about signals wasn’t for will like we thought but was so that we, as viewers, paid attention to the snowballs and applied it to mike.

now i know this doesn’t prove anything but i recently read a byler fic that kinda had the same premise. all of the shared looks, bump of the knees, brush of an elbow, were signals (snowballs) that mike missed and had no idea why he was feeling a certain way about, until will finally came out and said he was gay and then mike had his oh. moment (the avalanche) and realized that that was an option, that he could feel those things for will and it would be okay. it wouldn’t change who he is deep down.

i just can’t see them setting up that narrative and specifically telling us to watch out for it AND THEN GIVING US EXAMPLES BETWEEN MIKE AND WILL just to then completely abandon it several episodes later. unless they really think the GA is too stupid to have concluded that it was mike will had a crush on.

[a-a-a-a-a-deactivated20260420]

Okay here we go.

Here are some things that don’t make sense in this volume if byler is not endgame:

Mike saying “Friends don’t lie” to El, because we know that boyfriends do

The shots that focus mostly on Mike during the coming out scene

Mike shifting on his seat more then others during the coming out scene

Will’s conversation with Robin about not having the courage to talk to Vickie back then,but then he also doesn’t have the courage to talk to Mike?

Not showing what Vecna made him see

How the hell is he his Tammy if his love for him made him unlock his powers

Not addressing the painting at all

Still no kiss from milkvan

Mike and El still talking about future as a group

Will asking Robin about when did she start dating Vickie,because in that scene he’s HOPEFUL.

[brutalbuckley]

the way i keep going back in forth from absolutely dooming to absolutely rejoicing

i’m gonna go in to psychosis

[mikesbasementbeets]

[brutalbuckley]

they really ruined everything they spent years building in ONE scene.

[rosgi]

“not all crushes will work out is an important message to send to younger viewers” so you decide to use the homosexual character for that story? even though we have already seen 3 characters who’s crushes did not work out (robin, steve and dustin)…?

it’s all just an excuse for bad writing lol

wdym will byers who has been the victim of pain and suffering throughout the entire story is the only character that does not get to experience love within the entire show

[brutalbuckley]

the whole time i was on the edge of my seat waiting for byler because like in my mind the set up was THERE.

the melting only stopped when jonathon and nancy talked and showed how much they LOVE each other. max telling lucas she didn’t need the music she only needed him because she LOVES him. i fully went in being like okay okay so mikes gonna end up being the one to help save will or to give will the final push like he supposedly did for el during the s4 speech, just to have them reduce wills feelings for mike to a CRUSH??? A CRUSH??? AND COMPARE HIM TO TAMMY THOMPSON???

no. absolutely not. duffers you better fix this. that better have been mikes avalanche cause if not then WHY WHY WHY have will ask about signals and then show mike GIVING WILL THOSE SIGNALS?????

anyways i gotta go to bed

[brutalbuckley]

also i’m so sorry but them releasing an article saying mike knows he’s wills crush??? COULD’VE FOOLED ME!! mike wheeler is not self aware enough to know that will had a crush on him, i’m so sorry but you guys really don’t your characters

[colouredbyd]

this is how volume 2 felt like…
