will byers, i could’ve written you a better ending

[beavininabean]

i love the contrast of byler references

- blue and yellow

- crazy together

- you didn't have to

...

- friends? no thanks

- not my fault you dont like girls

- take your belt off

[imisscloudsimisslu]

going back to my roots with the will byers theme

[imisscloudsimisslu]

did anyone else desperately try to flee to the heated rivalry fandom after the queerbait of the century?

i tried to be as obsessed w it as i was byler, but nothing can beat the joy byler faith in nov-dec brought me

i love the game changers but i’m a byler at heart

[stargazingthemoooon]

'why can't two guys just be friends anymore?'look at Lucas and Mike. Thats two friends not whatever the gay shit Mike and Will have going on

[miwiheroes]

"and it hurt... it hurt so much"

[miwiheroes]

and when byler fic writers start referencing "take off ur belt" lmao i cant wait to do this

[toni188]

A pleasant parallel.

at Conan Gray and just saw someone in a Will the Wise costume things cannot get better than this

The closest they came to "casually hooking up" in the entirety of their decade long situationship was Vegas and they both ended up in tears by the end of that night.
