Hey! Welcome to my blog!

STRANGER THINGS 4:

CHAPTER ONE: THE HELLFIRE CLUB

CHAPTER TWO: THE RAILROAD

AVAILABLE TO READ NOW!!

I’m Itsonlystrange, but you can call me El ! (Yes, ironically, I go by ‘El’)

HERES A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME ~

This blog will be dedicated to all things stranger things.

I’ve been in the fandom since August 2016. I shipped Mileven for about 3 years, up until September 2019.

This is a byler account.

Along with this, I also ship Jancy and Jopper, and Lumax. I encourage everyone to ship what you want!

I write in depth theories and Byler proof. If that bothers you, then I encourage you to go else where.

I am also studying film and write period correct 1980’s ST fan fiction. I’m also currently writing all of season 4 of stranger things. More on that later in this post. :)

UNFOLLOW IF:

You’re homophobic, racist, xenophobic, sexist, etc.

You’re going to pick a fight with me because I don’t ship what you ship.

You hate byler shippers

You’re a Will, Mike, or El anti.

SOME OF MY FAVORITE ST CHARACTERS (IN ORDER)

1. Will & Mike (tied :/)

2. El

3. Max

4. Robin

5. Joyce

6. Steve

AND MORE!

WITH THIS, I DO believe Byler will be end game. Feel free to have your personal opinions as well. If you’re interested in learning more about Byler or already ship it yourself, I encourage you to follow and come along for the ride!

I try to be wary, and while I do encourage people and remind people of all the proof for byler, I do want everyone to know that I will still ship it NO MATTER WHAT! And you can too! A ship doesn’t have to be canon for you to enjoy it! Please know that while I do believe it’ll be canon, I try not to be TOO toxicly positive and look at it from a balanced perspective, and that is a view I encourage everyone to have! Even if it doesn’t become canon (which I doubt) you can still ship it! However if you dislike my hopefulness and beliefs in byler being canon, that’s fine! This ship is not for everyone, that’s cool!

I try not to engage in ship wars. Ship what you want! If you don’t agree with me that’s okay. You don’t have to follow! :)

It's actually great that Will ended up using Robin's advice not to look for signals in Mike but to signal him of his own interest.

Not only is it pretty safe because then Mike will only respond if he's interested and nothing changes if not.

But also, I've said before that Mike has incredibly valid reasons to believe Will does not like him back.

This is good. Will is giving him reasons to hope.

Mike has fulfilled at least one if not sometimes all of Robin's criteria every season for communicating interest. Will never does, Will never has. He has looks, but that's about it. He doesn't initiate. Not touch, not flirting, not even the fight they had about their relationship! Mike did that one at the roller rink too!

Will initiating is really good for this actually. I hadn't expected it, but it is definitely needed to support Mike's arc. He has reason to believe he has a chance now.

do you guys remember when a lot of us theorized this was will giving up and sacrificing himself? whole time it’s actually will finding his inner strength by thinking about how loved he is. by accepting who he is and gaining power from it.

he thinks of meeting mike, of hanging with him in mike’s basement. he thinks of drawing for jonathan and joyce. of building castle byers. he thinks of the things that make him special - his creativity, playfulness and wonder and whimsy.

he is an artist. he is a sorcerer in a hat and robe. he is a good friend. he’s sweet and sensitive and thoughtful. he is a son and a brother. he is queer. he is STRONGER because of all of these things.

vecna called him weak, and he immediately said “no the fuck i’m not?” and drew on self-love and love for the people in his life, all to tap into his power and SAVE THEM.

Do you want to be friends?

#i love them

Basically it all comes down to this:

Will's personal arc includes thinking he's not going to find love because of his sexuality, therefore we need to see him experience a romantic relationship for the first time, or the show would just be proving him right

The show has been building up his feelings for Mike for multiple seasons, to the point where he's deeply, unconditionally and selflessly in love with Mike (and there is no other character that could be his love interest in S5 anyway)

So, either Byler is endgame, or the show is -intentionally or not- homophobic. It's that simple. And this show has proven time and time again that it is very anti-homophobia, so... whether you like it or not, there's really only one conclusion that would make sense here.

ik we all know this but if byler isn’t endgame, mike wheeler is low-key insane and genuinely mean

literally awkwardly bro punching someone he’s been best friends with for years

having suddenly no interest in his friend’s hobby even though he was will’s biggest supporter for years (not to mention he wasn’t interested in hearing about his potential crush too, he just conveniently ignored that specific part of the letter)

him not writing to Will at all? making Will think he hasn’t tried to call? (okay, Will could have put more effort into it too but at least we know he didn’t because he is scared of losing Mike, so what’s Mike’s excuse? Wdym he thinks reaching out to his best friend is romantic?)

“you basically sabotaged the whole day!” ouch (imagine birthdaygate is real too, double ouch)

“we’re friends! we’re friends.” no one said otherwise? relax? 🤨

“it’s not my fault you don’t like girls!” ??? you know people have been homophobic towards Will his entire life, what is wrong with you. Like imagine being Will, this must have been genuinely so hurtful to hear from someone you trusted your life with, him making fun of Will’s dnd campaign right before that too

not to mention the arguments between him and El in s4, made poor girl feel like a monster AND called her ridiculous too. Yikes

and to top it all off, Will STILL sacrifices his feelings for Mike and El to be happy, both in the van and in the monologue scene. Like okay.

If Mike doesn’t have any romantic feelings for Will he has become a whole mean mess

why would you want to root for a character like that? Like yea he’s young but so are all the other characters and they don’t act this way… Knowing Will sacrificed his feelings for a heterosexual relationship, makes it hard to potentially enjoy mileven again (which is either the point or they messed up the writing big time in this)

i think one of the key differences is that; the reason mike and el fight is because they ARE in a relationship, whereas the reason mike and will fight is because they AREN’T in a relationship.

i think that ought to say a lot.

miwiheroes

Okay so not only does Mike not successfully apologise to El and instead always apologises to Will and knows exactly where he went wrong every time and takes full accountability -

Will's like,,,, the only one he really explicitly says sorry to, for all his behaviour, without any excuses.

(He obviously has that thing in S1 with Lucas, but he takes years to apologist bruh, and i honestly think that arc was just supposed to introduce the fact he can't apologise that well to anyone)

Yelling at El in Season 1? Nope

Being mad at Lucas in Season 1? Very very reluctantly and after a long time of being separated. This storyline sets up the fact he doesn't like apologising anyways.

Being mean to Max in Season 2? Nope

Lying to El in Season 3? Excuses Excuses and a lot of fucking moping

Being mean to Max AGAIN in S3? Nah

Yelling at Hopper? Duh no

Hurting Will's feelings? Bikes through the rain the same night instead of waiting a second and bangs on his door, taking responsibility without excuses. Then when Will doesn't answer he searches in the forest for him, again, in a thunderstorm.

Getting upset at El at Rink o Mania? Tries to apologise but then doubles down when he gets confronted AGAINNN

Not telling El he loves her? More excuses (you could say he 'apologises' in the monologue. but cmon buddy)

Being cold to Will all day? Apologises to Will and doesn't let Will say that it's his fault at all. Instead of making a dumb excuse, he explains that he just felt like he'd lost him in a heartfelt way. He gives Will what he wanted by saying they'd be best friends, like Will said.

Yeah so Will brings out the best in Mike okay we been knew

i will never understand how this:

is widely accepted as a gay yearning stare,

but this:

is not.

your-ivy-grows13

this shot is genuinely so devastating to me because he’s so terrified.

he’s terrified to say that he loves el.

he’s terrified that if he doesn’t say that he loves her, she’ll die.

he’s terrified that if he does say he loves her, he won’t be able to turn back.

he’s terrified that maybe he doesn’t love her the way he should.

he’s terrified of his true feelings.

he’s terrified of himself.

here's the compilation of Mike's sus/fruity moments from The Dustin Experiment as promised! there's so much analysis one can do on these and i would LOVE to, so i may, who knows?
