this picture is literally insane now like all of this equaled to nothing i know the set designers were mad as hell

[gayofthefae]

Conformitygate was a fun idea but I stand on the fact that the real reason all the costuming, set design, lighting and everything still reflects Byler is actually because Stranger Things is full of passionate artists and nerds who, in being that.....do not agree with how The Duffers ended the show.

And said "fuck this, dress him like his dad if you wanna give him that ending" "he hangs Will's painting over his bed actually fuck you, and it's right below his one way sign for an extra fuck you".

It wasn't the Duffers commenting on this. It was every passionate artist who loved this story so much and actually understood the characters, doing everything in their power to send the message through the screen everything from "this is ending is a dystopia" to "Byler are still endgame" or whatever each thing hints at. It's not theory or hint. It's spite.

Everything in their power to either imply the right ending is still out there for them in the future, or acknowledge that this is not it. Make that shit blue and yellow. Hang that painting above his bed. And if you're gonna write him into a conformist hellscape, I'm gonna dress him the way I did every time he was miserable and identical to the character who represents misery in conformity.

It wasn't a promise of a better ending. It was a fuck you to this one.

I wonder if they meant to have Max and Will swapping places metaphorically except Max's safe place and most powerful memory is romantic and Will's is his brother. The people who see them and show up consistently and are linked to their favorite songs.

That's the memory that got broken into before they were dragged away to the monster's lair.

And the person who causes them pain is the opposite.

Even though they try to connect and give them grace and remember them as heroes who saved them.

But it's Jonathan and Lucas who saw them in season 4 even when dealing with their own problems.

And hey look who bookended The Bridge.

Lucas and Jonathan are probably the two characters who got the shortest end of the stick on the show unfortunately, but if anyone's shown over and over that it's possible to be good men it's them.

I do think it's funny that season 4 gave them basketball and weed to show them 'straying', but most reasonable people were like hmm came out of nowhere but good for them.

Also ironic I guess that Max and Will each have what the other person wants the most. Romantic love v a brother and a mother who fights for them.

That's the deal with God?

I’m choosing to interpret Mike’s ending as the tragedy that is forced conformity and missed chances.

[mioakem]

me and the other 12 jonathan stans the only happy ones- and they were all saying he was dying, look at us now, happy with our little lesbian film student, really beautiful if you ask me

[ell1039]

i don‘t understand why they made mike‘s ending like that because he literally screams conformity to me. the hair? the clothes? this boy is MISERABLE and still hiding behind a fantasy like why would they do this to him when this show was supposed to stand up for freaks and outcasts to be themselves? i feel like i‘m trapped in a nightmare and all of this is fake

[cheriessbyler]

mikes life started the day wills ended apparently

"what about us?"

"we're friends. we're. friends."

talk about cruel

[themaxbyers]

the worst thing ever about byler not happening is that this just means will was used to prop up milevens heterosexual relationship and that all this really was was him slowly watching his best friend morph into an asshole who didn’t have time for him anymore when they grew up

[cheriessbyler]

this sent us back 10 years it is that fucking serious
