the writers trying to give mike and eleven the "love makes you crazy" scene in season three despite byler already saying they'll go crazy together in the season prior like oh my god you already gave that callback away get out of my house

#stranger things #byler #will byers #mike wheeler

having mike admit that he's unable to handle both el and will being in his life at the same time and then just never exploring that at all ever again is...very telling

#because if they did then mike would learn some things about himself thats why #stranger things #byler #like that problem persisted through season 5 and its terrible #mike was only ever with one of them at a time and the duffers couldn't write a conclusion to the problem in the end #SO THEY JUST FUCKING KILLED ONE OF THEM INSTEAD OF JUST MAKING ANYONE TALK TO EACH OTHER

there were so many plot holes and things that were left open ended and characters that just had a shit ending and i could complain about all of that to no end, but there’s one thing in particular that i haven’t been able to shake because of how disgusting it feels:

the fact that the painting was never brought up again.

first of all this is just terrible writing for the fact that will had to lie about the intentions of said painting in order to make mike feel better, and when you do something like that in a story the lie is SUPPOSED TO BE FOUND OUT EVENTUALLY. mike hangs that painting on his wall at the end of the story still believing that its creation was el’s idea and that’s just so fucked up, and also it makes no sense that mike wouldn’t be like “oh el thanks for the painting by the way” but of course the duffers never added that conversation because they didn’t WANT the truth about the painting to be something mike ever knew.

but worse than all of that is the fact that wills feelings for mike were only ever a plot device to bring mike and eleven together (and it didn’t even fucking work mind you). will told mike exactly how he himself feels about him, disguising it as elevens feelings in order to help mike fix his relationship. he gave eleven all the emotional credit for his painting so that mike would feel better, and it was never even brought up again. i can’t begin to explain how absolutely evil of thing this is to do, wills feelings for mike were dragged out until the last season making it seems like it would actually build up to something, ANYTHING, even a heart to heart rejection scene would be better than essentially telling your viewers “wills feelings were becoming too real so we needed to just get rid of them really quickly so it wouldn’t be something we actually need to discuss properly.”

tldr: the painting never being addressed proves that wills feelings for mike were only ever intended to be used as a bandaid for mike and elevens relationship, which is fucked up in so many ways i think i could write about it nonstop until the day i die and still never truly get my point across

i go on twitter and every other post is like "waitttt guys byler literally just got confirmed i can't believe it's actually happening" and you go to the replies and no one is explaining what they're talking about

#or theyre like “so finn said one day it was cold when they filmed outside which means theres a byler kiss at loverslake in episode 8”#like what are you talking about #this sound like a hate post i promise it's not i just need us to stop engagement baiting #and also just share with the class like hello can i see #byler #stranger things

stranger things fandom is weird as hell because how has byler been half canon for basically the whole show yet shippers are called crazy and delusional for then shipping it ?? aside from the fact that there is an entirely real chance of it being endgame, why is it seen as a completely outlandish relationship to like....has the GA never been in other fandoms before.......

#ive been in the mha trenches for 5 years as a bkdk yet the ST GA has made me feel crazier for shipping a semi-canon ship than bkdk #also a ship does not have to be canon for someone to like it #not liking it is one thing but saying it's WEIRD is something else entirely like what #stranger things #byler
