“the duffers still haven’t said anything, maybe conformity gate can still happen”
they’re never gonna say anything, they know their career is most likely over after this because of how they monumentally fucked up their entire show in less than one season. they’re raking in all of the extra cash that’s coming from the hype surrounding it. they’re gonna wring it for every last drop it can give and once it’s done, the “tom felton effect” with ensue. now y’all know how bylers have felt this entire time.
and now that it’s been 100% established that the shitty writing and plot holes had no significance, can we talk about how misogynistic and homophobic and just plain weird the duffers brothers are? they deserve all the hate in the world for how they chose to handle the entirety of season 5.
elevens ending? disgusting and borderline evil.
byler? was queerbaiting of epic proportions the likes of which i’ve only seen once or twice. they knew it wasn’t gonna happen, they had every chance possible to shut it down.
the whole weird video of them punching noah’s lookalike doll and “pranking” his mom with it? such creepy behavior.
these men have proven time and time again in the past week that they’re just really shit people. i’m glad stranger things is actually over, they didn’t deserve their own show.
since that’s all over, can we talk about how much the universe must HATE the duffers for the amount of seemingly genuine coincidences there were to lead to conformity gate??💀
so the writing really was just that shitty, huh?
whats everyones thoughts on conformity gate??? i can’t tell if the duffers are geniuses or just shitty writers😭😭
also ending els storyline that way was entirely unnecessary and fucked up. she’s alone in an unfamiliar place with her entire family that loved her, thinking she’s dead. tell me what kind of example that sets for victims of abuse?
especially after that whole speech from hopper after he busted her out of the tank….
i fear this queerbaiting fiasco was worse than the great destiel queerbaiting of 2020😭😭
netflix subscription has been canceled, they’ll never see another cent of my money istg
genuinely fuck all this shit, i guess media literacy just doesn’t matter anymore. this entire storyline was shit. none of this was worth 2 hours.
why are so many people just giving up on byler already? there’s still 2 WHOLE HOURS LEFT!!! y’all realize movies make romantic relationships happen between strangers in less than that amount of time, right? mike and will have over a decade of history with one another. realistically, their relationship can literally be built up within 20-30 mins, if that. it’s not over until it over.
and if mike asks will who his “tammy” is? then what???
it may be sacrilegious to say but im glad they didn’t make byler canon in this volume…
will needed the spotlight. not to be thrown into a relationship immediately after coming out. he needed his own moment where it was solely about him and not about all the bullshit that was happening or his potential relationship with mike. he needs a little time to adjust to his friends and family knowing he’s gay. let him bask in the feeling of being out and unashamed for longer than 2 seconds. after everything he’s been through, he deserves that at least.
things to keep in mind if you’re having byler doubt
the painting still hasn’t been addressed
mwtfdyd gate
“signals? what kind of signals?”
mike being in wills acceptance tape
all of s2 honestly which is the season the duffers said s5 was most like
mileven still hasn’t been confirmed to be together yet this season which means they’re probably not
the face mike made when will said he liked one of his friends
mikes ENTIRE storyline
mike CANONICALLY offering to share rooms with will and not giving a fuck about anyone else and then throwing a fit when he was told it wasn’t gonna happen
and honestly there’s probably so much more i just can’t think of them all…byler doubt has no place here whatsoever!! the only doubt you should have is that the duffers don’t have enough of a backbone to make them cannon but we know if they did/do they will be
im calling it now, mikes gonna thank el for the painting right before she goes off to fight vecna and she’s gonna tell him she has no idea what he’s talking about, he’s gonna stay behind with will, possibly at the church and confront him because mike wheeler is nothing if not a confrontational little bitch, he’ll say he understands now that it was will who felt that way instead of el, will is gonna freak out and word vomit and profusely apologize and then mikes gonna kiss him to shut him up as foreshadowed by will telling robin she could just do that to vickie…
“but then i realized he was just my tammy” let me explain to you why this is incorrect
in wills acceptance flashbacks mike was in it, mike was majority of it. if that wasn’t significant they wouldn’t have put it in.
secondly, will is an entirely unreliable narrator. the duffers themselves said that in the scene where i’m assuming will came up with the thought that mike was his tammy, mike wasn’t uncomfortable. he just didn’t understand what will was doing.
third, there is 100% some significance to mike being the one to walk in and interrupt will coming out to joyce and it wasn’t just so will would realize he needed to come out to everyone.
fourth, there’s also 100% significance behind the face mike made when will mentioned he liked one of his friends. that wasn’t a face of understanding or realization, that was a face of disappointment or sadness. he may’ve thought will was talking about lucas or (probably not) dustin or some dude in lenora.
and last but not least, the painting still hasn’t been addressed. mike and el more than likely aren’t together but the painting still hasn’t been resolved. that will be the tipping point for mike, that will be what solidifies byler happening in the last episode.
"I need all the young kids to know byler isn't happening" 🥺 "Sorry, byler isn't going to be canon" 😔 "I just don't want you to be upset when Mike rejects Will" 👉👈
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! No one needs or wants you to do this, byler isn't baby's first queer bait. I garuntee everyone saying this shit hated when people said the same shit about Destiel, johnlock, and stucky. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong, I'll still be here after December 31st no matter the outcome; shipping byler, canon or not.
