battling my inner demons (coloring) once again 👊

[domi--mi]

just remembered all over again how this happened and then seemingly had no impact on their relationship because mike went on to ignore and dismiss Will for the next 2 seasons and they didn't even have the decency to put this moment into Mike's trauma montage that played when Vecna was being killed

[smalltown--byler]

the more you think about it, the more you realise there is a huge issue with continuity in mike and will's relationship going from s2 to s3 + s4. it genuinely doesn't make sense for mike to be so dismissive and even actively cruel towards will after literally holding his unconscious body up while watching a demodog slaughter. mike experienced constant fear that his best friend was literally dead or going to die in s1 and s2, and yet he turns around in the following seasons and belittles will's desire to play D&D, ignores him in favour of el, makes a homophobic comment towards him which he never directly apologises to will for, makes little effort to communicate with him when he moves to california, etc. sure, maybe pushing will away is mike's way of coping with the trauma of seeing will hurt so many times... but why the writers never address this? why do we just get the illogical jump from 'mike would do anything for will, including never letting go of his limp body even as he watches violent demodogs tear bob apart' to 'mike will completely demean and ignore will and choose his girlfriend over him even when he knows what will has been through'?

not to mention that the trauma montage in s5 only has mike losing el, not the scene above, not mike watching what he thought was will's body get dragged out of the lake, not will screaming in the hospital bed while possessed, none of it.

im watching tommyinnit’s qsmp stream rn, someone mentioned byler variant and everyone decided to byler out IM CRYING 😭😭

for context tommy is talking to someone called mike LMAO WHY IS BYLER EVERYWHERE

[l0sersitsbyherself]

at the stage of byler grief where i just get really sad because it was literally all right there!!! They had to put MORE work into it NOT happening!!! And the fact is if Will was a girl they would have ended up together.

[heyimcelery]

I consume so much byler fanon that I often forget that the canon story isn't meant to be a tragic queer story about Mike never coming out so that they get together in every universe but this one

[byersmind]

i thought i was over byler until today me and my friend were in class , looking at a diagram with BLUE and YELLOW. before i even realise the colours, out of the blue she says “maybe blue and yellow were meant to be apart”

im so speechless wtf 😭😭😭😭😭😭

[miwiheroes]

nothing will hit more than the transition between little wiw casting a spell on the audience and it opening back up to mike. aka casting protection on mike. GOD

Og dialogue that inspired this

[spoonerismetal]

you know yurio would attempt that backflip

[shardlily]

Yet another actual crime of setting up another beautiful and powerful friendship that was then simply ignored 🫩😩

[bulionzkury]

WHAT WAS THAT FOR

[lady-stardust1972]

still thinking about them

[oliveespineapples]

reminder that the van scene was the first time in both their lives that Will lied to Mike and the first time Mike failed to notice what Will truly needed. do you guys ever think about that. do you guys ever think about how it was so catastrophic they fully never addressed it again. do you guys think about how their world literally fell apart when Mike and Will couldn’t be true to themselves or each other

[lauveyy]

will the wise 🔮

[soft-likethesunset]

this is pretty much canon right

[zo0eyy]

i don't CARE about ACCEPTANCE, or COMING OUT, queer people are not gonna be able to get representation, if you don't CLOSE THEIR ROMANTIC ARCS
