hunger games wiw...
I can’t usually see Mike in a sports au, however, I do think that man would LOVE competitive cup stacking. He’d get so ridiculously into it. It starts out as something of a party trick because he thinks it makes him look cool, but then he starts entering tournaments to win some extra spending money. Eventually, he becomes the top stacker in the country or somethin. I also think he just wouldn’t tell his family about it, so one day Nancy finds all of this cash in Mike’s desk drawer and she’s like ‘what the hell did you steal this from someone’ and Mike is like ‘no I won it’ and Nancy doesn’t believe him but then he shows her all of his medals and she’s like ‘what kind of double life is this? What even is cup stacking you dork?’ But then he shows her and she’s begrudgingly impressed.
BYLER | Questions
This song has me in a chokehold (don’t save me, I’m right where I want to be)
Will's college friends notice fairly quickly that Will has a type. The few boys he's actually dated and all the flings and fun flirting he's done are with the same genre of guys. Tall, dark curly hair, a little broody, kind of pretentious, usually a writer and always a bit of an asshole.
These relationships don't last long. They're clearly missing something that Will is looking for, but he continues to date the same kind of guys anyways. They don't get it, he clearly isn't happy with them, why doesn't he look for something else?
But then, out of the blue, he tells them he has a boyfriend!! His childhood best friend Mike. And they're all hesitantly excited for him because Will knows this guy! They have this history of being friends, so surely this guy is going to be different!!
They all agree to meet him when he is in town for a weekend. Supportive, but also looking to vet him a little.
They spot him sitting at the bar alone -- Will must have slipped away to the bathroom or something. Instantly, there is no doubt that this is the guy Will is dating.
Tall, dark curly hair, the most resting bitch face to ever exist. He looks to be exactly the same as all the rest. They all sigh, and begrudgingly approach him with a "you must be Mike, we're Will’s friends" followed by "how'd you know," and "lucky guess,"
He's a little stand offish, which is pretty much what they expected. But then Will returns and they see a sudden shift in Mike. He absolutely lights up, goofy love-sick grin spreading over his face. They see Will light up too. And they're like. Oh. This guy is different.
Then he actually opens up, starts talking because Will is there now so everything is okay and they're like. Oh. This guy is such a fucking dork. He's perfect.
El comes back or maybe she was never really dead to begin with, and Mike, who has been mourning her so furiously for so long has to come to terms with the fact that he was mourning a concept more than the actual girl. He used to cry himself to sleep every night, used to beg and plead to whatever god was out there that she’d come back to him. He’d convinced himself that once she did, everything would feel better, that everything about him would just stop feeling so wrong. Except, now she is back, and nothing about himself is fixed. And Mike is so ecstatic that El is alive and well but he realizes that he’s not in love with her. Maybe he never was. El coming back does save him, but not because he needed her but because he needed to realize that he didn’t.
In the late nineties the Byers go on a family trip together. It’s the first time they’ve all really gone on a vacation together since they were kind of strapped for cash growing up. But Joyce has a better job now and both the boys work so they can help pay for the trip. The only downside is it will be the first time in a long time that Mike and Will are going to be apart for more than a week. Luckily, Jonathan LOVES to take pictures. He makes his family stop at every monument, every sunset, every street corner. He takes pictures of people and places and, of course, his family. Will absolutely hates it, and Jonathan won’t tell him but he promised Mike to take a bunch of pictures of Will for him to have when they get back. A week later, the Byers get back from their vacation. A week after that, Will walks into his shared apartment with Mike and freezes. There, sitting on their mantelpiece is a picture of Will from vacation, looking vaguely annoyed but smiling fondly at the camera, a beautiful sunset in the background. When Will asks Mike where the hell he got the picture from Mike just casually goes, “Oh, I commissioned it.”
Byler AU:
Art student Will who gets a lot of his inspiration for his paintings from poems and short stories posted in the school journal by someone named M. W.
🤝
English major Mike who goes to an art exhibition and so many of the paintings feel hauntingly familiar to him but there are some that seem new and interesting and they become the inspiration for his next several poems. And that’s how W.B. becomes Mike’s muse.
And what if I said Vampire Time was a Byler song? What then?
Ok this is so silly goofy but what if the party was in a band and Mike was the lead singer but Will was the songwriter (and guitarist) so when they start to build a following a bunch of new fans who don’t know that Will is the one to write most of their songs just think that Mike is a narcissist because all of the songs are about falling in love with people who look and act like him. Bonus points if Mike absolutely does not realize all of these songs are about him. Extra bonus points if Dusting and Lucas are painfully aware that they are. Dustin and Lucas singing back up vocals like “ooh you’re so fine”, trying not to gag because Will is definitely the only one who sees Mike like that.
Also, in this universe, Will writes a heartbreaking love song but makes his sister, El, perform it for him because he’s too afraid to sing it himself, and Mike convinces himself that he’s in love with her after the performance because it was so moving and details exactly how he wants to be loved.
Stranger Things Percy Jackson AU
This is my personal head cannon for everyone but curious to see what other people think. Also who would read this au? Are there any pjo fans in the chat?
- El / Oracle of Delphi
- Will / Hades (unclaimed until his late teens)
- Jonathan / Kratos (demigod or minor god depending on the myth, represents Strength)
- Mike / Ares
- Nancy / Ares
- Dustin / Hephaestus
- Robin / Athena
- Steve / Hermes
- Lucas / Apollo
- Max / Dionysus
- Eddie / Nike
- Hopper / minor god, camp counselor
The concept of Robin's story always being about Nancy rather than Tammy, but she didn't want to hurt Steve more by saying her name in the bathroom so she just picked the first girl that came to mind otherwise
The concept of Robin never liking Tammy below a surface level and only trying to fall for her because Nancy was taken and Robin felt empty inside
The concept of Robin never admitting it was always about Nancy, even in their adulthood. Staying alongside Nancy and just continuing to bury those feelings forever.
oh i love you
Byler full Comic (4/4)
Miwi burger with a side of possessed Will fries…
Possessed Will just being batshit insane and mike being weirdly chill and supportive about it is a dynamic i need more of…
also this was very rushed, finished two other byler pieces in one afternoon aughhh
scared hamster 🐹
I don’t think we as a collective talk enough about the fact that Lucas Sinclair had to listen to the lyrics “if I only could make a deal with god I’d get him to swap our places” almost everyday on repeat for 18 months while sitting next to his comatose girlfriend’s bedside.
Like I’m sorry?? Devastating!! Someone give this boy a medal because if I were in that situation I would be a hazard to myself and society in a really big way.
"whos ur fav mike wheeler"
"obviously its the season 2 one"
"thats such a basic fucking bitch answer ofc ur gonna like s2 mike he's the most protective towards will-"
"OKAY YOU WANT A REAL ANSWER??? i love season 2 mike because they actually began to explore his mental health struggles and how they had him acting up in school because he was pulling away and uncharacteristically plagiarising things when he's usually a nerd who likes school to show that he was depressed. they showed him having trust issues with anyone new because of what happened last year, and it showed perfectly how competent he is as a leader because even when he was in situations that would be extremely terrifying for a 13 year old (such as watching his best friend screaming while being possessed and trying to kill people and being stuck in a lab massacre and watching someone die again) he was always trying to keep a brave face. that was him learning to be who he was again. he never asked for or needed reassurance and instead was on the same level as the adults with how he handled all these situations emotionally. we got some of the best demonstrations of how he uplifts the party and how he is a good strategist who thinks outside the box. but they don't just stop there. they don't just have him be a leader and nothing else. they have him break!! they actually have him have a fucking mental breakdown with hopper that everybody thinks is solely about his love for el or something, but its because of the pressure and keeping up with everything and realising how much he's lost himself over the past year. fuck everything and what they did to him holy shitt"
hey why did they go out of their way to do the "lucas is mike's best friend" if they weren't going to do anything significant with mike and lucas's friendship ever and were going to make mike's most significant "platonic relationship" not actually get to be lucas??
they just had lucas teach him how to be straight like is that it for their friendship??? thats all they got? ok. we're all for deep male friendships except when lucas can/should get to be the important participant or whatever. like think about the fact lucas in this show is going through worst shit ever consistently likeeeee does mike ever say anything about it?
not reaaaaaaaaally honestly he's too busy doubling over and freaking out if will so much as breathes funny. and btw im not even saying it's mike's job to comfort everyone but he IS the one who claimed leadership role and youd think if lucas was given bff status they'd have something other than bonding over being dumb teens who suck at dating
like i dont know i just think there was the vibe there was gonna be SOMETHING important about lucas and mike's friendship but he was too busy never being supported to be put in that kind of spotlight
meanwhile will is clearly this incredibly unique special different relationship to mike. but it's not supposed to be romantic, apparently, so what is he supposed to be?? he treats him noticeably different from his best friend and treats him better than his girlfriend. the show refuses to categorize any of these dynamics in a way that is accurate to what we actually see apparently
and it's not even like we can just fall back on the "you can have a bunch of best friends" thing as an explanation because by the end of the show dustin barely even seems like he's friends with the party. and i'm not even talking about his grief and that arc, im talking about him consistently spending almost no time with them and steve overshadowing their role in his life entirely. like. steve is dustin's best friend
i guess what i'm saying is why set up will as in love with mike just to squash it and then set up mike and lucas as The Bestfriends(tm) and then squash it BECAUSE you squashed the byler love thing. and why do any of it honestly. do you get what im saying or am i just sooo sleep deprived rn???
el is supposed to be the romance and she isn't. lucas is supposed to be the best friend and he isn't. what was the point of it.
I'm not a huge fan of love triangles, but you know who is? The Duffer brothers. Because why does everyone in the main cast end up in a love triangle at some point?
steve - jonathan - nancy
mike - el - will
joyce - hopper - bob
robin - vickie - vickie's bf(?)
dustin - max - lucas
Like besides Holly and Erica, who are literal children, EVERYONE gets thrown into a love triangle. Like my god, can we PLEASE get a new trope. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it.
