yes the duffers didn’t like us from the start.

“byler is probably one of our loudest groups”

“we are really good at shutting off all the noise”

if we were so “loud” you could have shut us up 6 years ago

or even 2 years ago. hell. anytime.

but no, they sure did like our views, our money, our publicity.

be mad.

[itostuff]

and why is it trumps fault

[itostuff]

the fact that mike was genuinely just being a bad friend AND boyfriend is insane

blue and yellow. literally why. why put it there. WHY.

i need answers, i need a statement, this is not ok

[itostuff]

just watched it in theaters-

ending the year by getting queerbaited for the first time was NOT on my 2025 bingo card.

first, and last time putting this much mind power into something the duffers write. beacause THEY don’t even do that.

im sorry to everyone whos been through this b4, i didn’t understand you before, but i do now.

we were on the right side of history.

[itostuff]

remember, we will be “hap-satisfied”

remember

[itostuff]

im sorry but if Mike isn’t secretly inlove with Will, then he’s LITERALLY just a bad friend.. AND boyfriend

BUT I would like to make some things clear

1. all the byler symbolism? it has to mean something, otherwise its queerbait and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

2. we cannot forget the events of Season 2 and 4 just because Will THINKS Mike is his “Tammy”. He’s making an educated, safe, guess, not a correct one. We have all done it, hell, even Robin did. Mike has not said A THING. Has he rejected Will? NO. Will is speaking FOR Mike right now. Mike hasn’t rejected Will AT ALL

all im saying is i 100% believe that they are making Byler endgame in the final episode for “plotwist” and “not loosing viewer” purposes, so though i doubted a bit at first, I do not think it was all for nothing.

3. the Patty and Henry parallels are yet to take action in S5, and Finn hasn’t carried “a lot of critical emotional content” yet.

hell, my mom squealed when Mike hugged Will at the start of episode 5, and she is a Mileven.

4. Many people want Byler to happen, and it’s because it’s written for that to be the case.

the truth is our expectations are always pretty unrealistic going in, BECAUSE we are so Byler pilled/focused.

don’t loose hope. they will end up together.

[itostuff]

witch could mean nothing.

could

[itostuff]

im genuinely so pissed of at how endgame Byler is because all this is going down peak finals time and I can’t study because im just thinking about these two helplessly in love these boys are and how history will be made in 2 weeks

[itostuff]

out of all the posters..

out of all the posters….

the bag is so secured😹

we are SO getting Byler for Christmas

can’t wait to combat the delusion allegations

[itostuff]

“i see your mom and robin are finally getting along”

sometimes, people just need someone to belive in them, then they can do amazing things

“true, in real life your more like a sorcerer”

mike doesn’t clock it

dih in the washroom

the water spits out of the sink pipe right into Mikes face

“its Wills heart that helps Mike confess- continues to develop throughout season 5- WOAH WO“

i just- needed to stop being so damn scared

oh… this is just the beginning isn’t it

im pumped

[itostuff]

HELLO? Millie winking at a giddy Noah during the pipe scene?? Winona Sadie and Charlie blushing at the flirty field scene??

THEY R SO ENDGAME IM DEAD

honestly, they would NOT be reacting this way if it wasn’t, we just keep winning.

FUCKING HELL BRO ENDGAME PLANE AFTER ENDGAME PLANE KEEPS HITTING THESE BYLER TOWERS

[howtobecomeadragon]

1. mike nodding earnestly at "you're not dipshit derek" is making me crack tf up

2. he looks back at will 🥺

[x-rayray-x]

I’m crying Mike can’t do anything without wills validation 😭

[itostuff]

shared looks….

[itostuff]

LISTEN.

I KNOW THERE WERE SM GOOD HINTS, I KNOW THE DIH JOKE WAS INTENTIONAL, I KNOW THAT THE SHOVE AND ROBINS SPEECH COULD BE "MISINTERPRETED" I KNOW THAT MIKE'S LOOK AT THE END OF EP4 WAS NOT PLATONIC AT ALL.

But I just need SOMETHING more, man, I need Mike's POV. I DEMAND Mike's POV.

or else this doubt is going to eat me alive

[itostuff]

[miwinations]

Okay, Byler Doubters. Here are some fun facts:

- Mike broke the pipe while trying to dig through the roof. The pipe burst (because of Mike), and it flooded out. This led to Mike and Will holding hands and desperately trying to contain the rush

- Robin talks about a 'snowball turning into an avalanche'...which could be comparable to a 'leak turning into a flood'.

- Robin mentions 'Dick in the washroom'...which is funny since Mike and Will both end up in the washroom and...you get it right?

- Mike looks at Will when Robin says, 'I like Dick,' and Will looks back.

- The Upside Down has a wall, which was set up in Part One. They are trying to break through it. Hmm...you remember that song we all like about a wall falling down? About heroes and lovers and shame being on the other side?

- The video that Robin found of herself as a child was of her alone. She saw herself, carefree, on her own...and realised her strength came from that. Her inner child. She was always the answer.

- The memories that Will calls upon are mostly ones where he is with Mike, with his mother, or with Jonathan (and it is MAINLY MIKE). He found strength through love and, because those people loved him, was able to accept himself. Because he was always the answer. He just needed to let people love him for who he is.

- The episodes Shawn Levy directed have not come out yet. Which is usually when we get Byler.

- Tammy Thompson was 'love at first sight', which is way more of a parallel to Mileven than to Byler. The words Robin uses to describe her falling at first sight are nearly verbatim what Mike says to El when he professes that he loved her from the moment they met. Also, remember that the Duffers do not believe in love at first sight.

- The relationship between Tammy and Robin isn't as comparable to Mike and Will as one might think. Byler has a lot of history. Tammy was just a queer awakening. Mike is much more than that.

- Robin thought that Nancy would get together with Steve. She can be wrong about things.

- Robin does not know Mike and Will's relationship. She saw one moment between them.

- We still haven't seen Mike's perspective on anything. We have no idea what he's thinking, or what's even going through his mind. Mike is due for a breakdown at this point...he has been far to happy considering the circumstances, and knowing him, it's because he's bottling shit up (a snowball becomes an avalanche).

- The 'painting lie' remains unaddressed. It's a very obvious Chekov's Gun, and, narratively, it has to be talked about this season.

- You don't write a slow-burn rejection.

- Kali showed up! Interesting. I mean, I feel like this has pretty much confirmed that El will end up leaving Hawkins with Kali in the finale. Which is why Millie BB felt torn about her character's ending. It was bittersweet because El left.

- I think most of the 'kids' will leave Hawkins. I feel like the finale is going to be a final going-away party, as people leave for college. There is going to be a last D&D game. We're going to see people driving away. And for Byler...well, 'let's start a new party, just you and me'.
