why tf did El say that Mike was the one who understands her better than anyone like that's just not true

[hawkinsschoolcounselor]

Because the Duffers seem to actually think Mike and El had a good connection and were only tragically separated due to circumstances beyond their control.

Nevermind that they had El be all "I'm not Sarah" to Hopper, as if he didn't actually come to see her as his daughter, not just a "replacement." Doing that, but still having El be emotionally dependent on Mike, shows a lack of narrative cohesion and inability to actually develop their characters under a consistent framework.

They see Mike and El as a modern day Romeo & Juliet, missing the point that Romeo & Juliet were meant to be seen as impulsive kids whose relationship pretty much destroyed them and their families.

The reason Stranger Things failed to make a well written friend group among the teens was because they decided to make Jonathan be the last person to complete it, when really he should’ve been the heart of the group

Jonathan’s the one responsible for showing Nancy that she was already half way there to living the boring depressing life she’s been trying to avoid, and taught Steve the definition of FAFO, making Steve apologize to him. Not to mention the fact that Jonathan is responsible for those two having their first weapons in the series and their first team up happens at his house. He helped those two become the characters that everyone ended up admiring. And with Jonathan and Nancy finally dating, and Steve attending Barb’s funeral with them, it felt like we were getting close to another great friend group in the making.

Then they made Jonathan’s role just to solely be Nancy’s boyfriend, didn’t have Steve and Jonathan interact until S5, brought back the love triangle, introduced new characters that were Jonathan variants in some way, and made their epilogue scene feel like two duos meeting each other rather than best friends meeting each other.

Which does suck because I feel like there would’ve been something beautiful about the town freak who hasn’t had a friend his entire life, and he finds people who actually want to be friends with him, even when they aren’t dealing with the monsters in the show.

Plus it would’ve been better seeing everyone getting together one last time to help Jonathan make his movie and it being the thing they’re more interested in than the idea of them just being like “Hey, remember when we fought the Mind Flayer?” in Philadelphia.

im not falling for cool byler propaganda. these boys are both whipped losers

[crazytogetherxx]

the fact that i felt like a new byler bc i only started shipping them around s4 and now i am an og in comparison to lots of people who started shipping it after s5

[sunflowersand-bees]

thinking about dustin and lucas and how much time they must’ve spent together after the byers moved back, with will and mike wrapped up in each other and el training and max at the hospital. i’m thinking about them talking about freshman year. talking about dustin overcompensating for hellfire’s collapse and lucas’s time on the basketball team

[mikewheelerisaqueerler]

hey wouldn't it be crazy if vecna told will "some minds don't belong in this world" and then he flashbacks to these two scenes haha wouldn't that be crazy

oh wait

[methyl-cain]

do new bylers know about the byler proof slides

[of-paper-rings-and-stars]

not enough people are mad about dustin's isolation from the party every single season
