My Finale Thoughts

This’ll have spoilers so if you haven’t seen the Stranger Things finale please scroll to the next post

So…first things first, byler was not endgame (sad😭). Which admittedly deep down I knew was most likely going to be the case but I’m still gonna mourn what could’ve been an amazing friends to lovers queer romance set in the 80s.

Secondly, my heart breaks for Mike’s ending. I say this because I definitely feel as that Mike is repressing his sexuality and is dealing with internalized homophobia that’s most likely been caused by his father’s homophobia. I’ve seen people seem to share this same sentiment.

Joyce definitely earned that Vecna head decapitation.

I genuinely gasped when I thought Steve was about to die but then he didn’t so I ended up feeling a little disappointed.

I’ve seen some people say that Will does actually have an epilogue boyfriend and others say that the epilogue boyfriend is just in Mike’s imagination. Personally I think it’s the latter mostly out of future hope for byler but also I just think it makes more sense if it was just Mike’s imagination.

RIP Kali.

So did Vickie just disappear or what? I’m confused right now.

I’ll be completely honest my feelings for the finale are pretty neutral. I can definitely agree with a lot of the valid criticisms about the finale and really just season 5 in general. I could definitely tell that things were very rushed and there were definitely a bunch of potholes and unanswered questions. Though I’m not going to say it was terrible because I think the finale did accomplish what it was supposed to albeit not in the best way but I’m not also gonna sit here and pretend it was the greatest thing ever either.

Byler Love Confession

(Based on how I think it would happen)

Will walks into the room and sits down next to Mike.

Will: Mike…

Mike: Yeah Will? Everything okay?

Will: T-There’s something I need to tell you…something really important.

Mike: Oh um okay. What is it?

Will: You’re the guy I have feelings for.

Mike: …

Will: I-I know you don’t feel the same way because you like girls. I-I just can’t keep pretending that I’ve got feelings for some random guy when It’s always been you that I’ve had feelings for.

Mike: …

Will: Mike please say something.

Mike: I-I have feelings for you too Will. I’ve always had them but I’ve just been too scared to confront them because I didn’t know how to understand or process having feelings for you. The person that’s been my best friend since we were in kindergarten.

Mike: But I don’t want to be scared anymore because I love you Will…I love you so much.

Will just smiles and leans over kissing Mike on the lips with Mike returning the kiss.

Will: I love you too Mike.

[coldhelios]

If Will and Mike got together I feel like they would be the kind of couple that would be holding one another’s hand constantly but most of the time they’d be doing it mindlessly and not even realize they were doing until someone else pointed it out.

I also feel like they’d both watch each other sleep because they both think the other is really cute when they sleep.

[coldhelios]

Okay…so I thought was done with this but there’s so much more I wanna say.

I’d like to think that then holding hands started back when they first met in kindergarten as this just really innocent thing because they were friends and they saw no issue with it. I do think that when Will and Mike a got a bit older they didn’t hold hands as much but would every now and then especially if the other was getting bullied. I also think that when Will returned from the Upside Down him and Mike started holding hands again much more frequently because it helped Will calm down whenever his anxiety or trauma truly starts getting to him.

Mike probably sees it as him making sure his best friend is okay but deep down knows it’s more than that. Will is just silently pining over the person that has made him feel so loved but feels like he can never be with Mike.

[coldhelios]

I love Mike’s reaction to Will’s hive mind abilities because he looks so stunned that and it kinda makes me think that very moment is when Mike realizes how truly in love with Will he is.

[coldhelios]

…

Okay so I’m gonna need Will and Mike to end up together by the end of this or I fear I may not make it.

Mike just sitting there and starting to piece together that Will was referring to him while just taking in everything Will was saying during the coming out scene truly got me. I don’t know about anyone else but I kinda wanna think that in that moment Mike’s heart broke a little bit when Will referred to his feelings for Mike as nothing but a simple crush.

That’s another thing. I don’t believe in the slightest that Will believes his feelings for Mike aren’t anything but a simple crush.

Just let the lil gay sorcerer and his oblivious bisexual paladin best friend be boyfriends! I’m begging!😭

What do you think would happen if Junior went to Pride?

Ooooh good question…I imagine Junior still being hesitant with his sexuality so maybe he’s all shy and quiet at first when he went to his first Pride but by the end of it, he was covered in glitter, had the bisexual flag painted on his face, and was having the time of his life :)

[coldhelios]

Once he started dating Grant he would make sure they went to Pride every year

[barclaysangel]

Absolutely, they both attended Pride every year and deck out on all the pride merch and makeup

[coldhelios]

I’m just imagining Junior going to Pride for the first time only because Jake made him

[barclaysangel]

I can totally see that, Junior had just come out to Jake and Jake was just determined to take Junior to his first Pride

[coldhelios]

At first Junior really didn’t want to go but Jake just kept begging Junior to go with him and Devon.

[barclaysangel]

Jake refused to let it go and after badgering Junior for days, Junior finally gave in just to shut Jake up.

[coldhelios]

The reason Junior was so quite at Pride was not only because of how shy he felt but also because he was quietly plotting how he’d kill Jake

Junior: Jake you wanna hear a joke?

Jake: Yeah sure what’s the joke?

Junior: My life.

Jake: 🤦‍♂️

[coldhelios]

Junior: Hey Jake, wanna hear another joke?

Jake: No.

Junior: Too bad, I’m gonna tell you the joke anyway.

Jake: Fine. What’s the joke?

Junior: You are dumbass. 🤣

Jake: 😡

[coldhelios]

Junior: Hey Jake, guess why I like skittles.

Jake: Why do you like skittles?

Junior: Because I’m fruity.

Junior has always been musically talented but has to hide it because of Logan. Though after Junior graduated high school he became the drummer in a boy band. This boy band is very popular and it just so happens to be one of Grant’s favorite bands and his favorite member was Junior. One night after a concert each band member had been signing things for their fans and of course Grant wanted to get something signed by Junior. When it was Grant’s turn he immediately got flustered because he couldn’t believe he was in front of his favorite band member and his crush. At first the conversation was a little awkward but after a minute they both just started talking a lot to the point security had to make Grant leave so he wouldn’t hold up the line. When he was leaving the venue Grant looked at the shirt he had Junior sign and noticed Junior put his phone number on there as well as his signature.

(Inspired by Teo playing the drums)

Love love loveeee this idea!!!

(I just saw that video yesterday, it’s so cool that Teo could play the guitar AND the drums!)

[coldhelios]

I really think it’s an interesting concept I mean we know Grant is pretty talented when it comes to playing the piano and I think we all are in agreement that Junior would’ve been a more artistic person if Logan wasn’t such a crackhead and actually allowed his son to express himself. I just think they would have a lot of cute banter about music and just anything artistic in general.

[barclaysangel]

I really like that idea because imagining Junior in a band would be so cool. I could see him being in a band where he’s a drummer and he also plays guitar and sings, and he ends up meeting Grant who’s this huge fan of the band and they just talk for hours about music and end up bonding that way right off the bat.

[coldhelios]

Once you get Junior and Grant talking about something they both equally enjoy there’s no getting them to stop.

[barclaysangel]

Oh there's no stopping them, they just keep talking and talking and nothing can stop them.

[coldhelios]

There was one time where they talked for a whole 24 hours.

[barclaysangel]

They didn’t even realize it at first, they were just so focused on each other’s conversations

[coldhelios]

They only noticed because they both felt very sleep deprived.

[barclaysangel]

They didn’t understand why they were so tired at first until they checked the time

[coldhelios]

They just collapse to the ground and fall asleep in each others arms with Junior’s head on Grant’s chest.

[barclaysangel]

The second Grant starts playing with Junior's hair when they lay down, Junior's completely out.

[coldhelios]

Grant covers them with a nearby blanket and they spend the whole day sleeping cuddled up with one another.

[barclaysangel]

They don’t move an inch, Junior is just curled up on top of Grant, sleeping soundly with one hand clenched around Grant’s shirt

[coldhelios]

Grant stays awake a little longer just to watch Junior sleep and admire how adorable he is.

[barclaysangel]

Grant can't help but think that Junior looks so adorable with his cheek smushed against Grant's chest.

[coldhelios]

Junior is also drooling a little bit which just makes the sight even cuter than it already was.
