This but with Byler

The scent of Tahitian Orchid bath suds was messing with the demogorgon's pointed sense of smell; that part of Mike’s plan was working. The part that wasn’t working was that he and Will were cramped tightly under the water, and the monster still wasn’t leaving.

Calgon could take away the scent of blood, but it was almost like the creature sensed the hunger under the surface, competing with its own. The demo had no concept of humans needing to breathe, but still, it waited for something.

Mike and Will were facing each other, eyes burning from soap, starting to tremble. The demo’s drool was raining down in heavy, unbroken strands all the way to the bottom. They squeezed each other’s hands, giving each other the strength to last a little bit longer. 

Mike and Will brought each other’s knuckles to their lips, and the demo moved on.

They didn’t break the surface right away. They stayed, as it hadn’t been nearly enough time, as if the hunger they felt was something else entirely.

His little five o’clock shadow…I know Mike is obsessed with the feeling of it when they kiss

[thewisewill80sbyers]

why would she ever make this dumb joke in a room with strangers + literal children that are still in middle school and also during this moment in particular where they're supposed to be serious and talking about the end of the world

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU INDEED

[hawkinsschoolcounselor]

Yeah, even before it hit me how bad the season actually was, this exchange didn't sit right with me. I remember reacting much like Steve did. It was such an out of character moment and didn't seem to serve any real purpose. I mean, Robin does sometimes speak without thinking, but it was never this blatant or intentional while also being so completely inappropriate.

Honestly, I can't believe that line survived the writing process, let alone the editing process. I have to believe one of the Duffers wrote it and was especially proud of it for some reason for it to stay in the final cut.

Live Mike reaction: 😂
