absolutely haunted by the sheer raw anguish of mike screaming for el, their last kiss, the most passionate and devastating kiss we’ve seen on the show. they will always be stranger things’ greatest love story and this finale only proved that. el’s “i love you,” both of them crying, mike screaming for her over and over again. “i can’t live without you” “i can’t lose her again” “i can’t lose you”. mike’s one constant throughout every single season was his fear of losing her. his pure desperation begging her not to leave him killed me but showed so beautifully how much he loved her. how much they loved each other. “a love so strong it breaks down dimensional barriers.”
oh mileven. you’ll always be the show’s greatest love story.
