will byers there are no words to express how proud of you i am

I'm... so confused?

What was the purpose of the scene about queer signals, if Will was never going to receive queer signals? Why was the question concerned with the obviousness of signals, and not the mere presence of them? Why use the term "shared looks" when that was a known call and response on set for Noah and Finn?

What was the meaning of the snowball and avalanche metaphor? Why include that scene at all? Where was the payoff?

You're going to write an entire meta scene on queer signals of attraction, include examples that we have already observed, indicate an eventual pay off... and not let it pay off? Why? To be malicious?

You tell the audience through Will that Mike was just his Tammy this entire time and expect us to believe it? Was Tammy in Robin's video tape? Did Robin know Tammy since she was five? Did Tammy run after her in the rain or recognize her breathing over the radio?

And Will Byers never got kissed. Will Byers witnessed queer love, queer joy, and queer intimacy through a kiss at the beginning of the season, wanting that for himself because he's a romantic... and never even got kissed. Not even by his epilogue boyfriend.

Having a queer character believe he won't find love and proving him right is not good writing.

Having a character grow up in solitary confinement and then ripping her away from the only family she's ever known to live a life of solitude once again is not good writing.

Having a character be in love with his best friend and then just compare it to a high school crush is not good writing.

Having Eleven say that Mike has always been the person who truly understood her after showing us in the previous seasons that he only sees her as a superhero IS NOT GOOD WRITING.

Having two girls be abused by a man with power for the majority of their lives only to leave them dead and alone as a direct consequence of the trauma they suffered IS VILE WRITING

i'm going to be sick. "i started bringing it up again and they told me "noah shut up. it was one. it was one time."" that's them having to be begged for the queer character's storyline to have closure. then noah, someone that's actually from the queer community you should at least pretend to want to represent correctly, tells you it's still not right, not enough, and you shut him up because you allowed it one time already.

They can’t say it wasn’t queerbait because wtf is this

[lindstrxm]

someone pls tell me if we’ve heard this yet??? am i crazy for having hope it’ll play during… maybe… a big confession… or scene where… someone gets Will out of his possession??

Why Mike insists on calling Will a ‘Sorcerer’

Now I’m not at all well-versed on DnD but from what I’ve seen, Wizards and Paladins aren’t compatible.

Clerics and Paladins are compatible but interestingly less optimal than a Paladin/Sorcerer mix hmmmm

Sorcerers and Paladins are EXTREMELY compatible??

It’s no wonder Mike keeps insisting on referring to Will as a sorcerer. He as a Paladin wants to be most compatible with Will (a Sorcerer)!

[bucks-apron]

if byler aren’t canon, i will be CONVINCED that the duffers don’t know what a parallel is bc come on.

[byerswheeler]

mike and will being a duo in the last episode, finn and noah breaking down in tears reading the script at the table read, shawn levy saying mike and will play central roles in the finale and noah saying there was more to be told about their relationship after episode 7

[gayofthefae]

If I were Mike Wheeler, I'd be EXHAUSTED. Imagine you have a crush on a guy for years. You're always initiating touch, telling him how important he is to you, everything.

Then one day, FINALLY, he gives a little playful shove. It's small, but it's something, and it's the FIRST time, YES!

Then 24 hours later he sits everybody down and says he's given up on love and accepted that he never had a chance. 🤦

“life has been so unfair to you”

[mikeslawyer]

OH OH ONE MORE THING!

will’s love for mike wasn’t reduced to a crush, Will reduced it to a crush, to make it easier for his friends. because, yeah, everyone has crushes, crushes are innocent, right? right

but what would happen if instead of ‘I had a crush on someone’, will had said ‘I was in love with someone’ and then followed it by ‘he’? questions would be asked. uncomfortable ones. and while will has come to terms with mike possibly figuring him out, he doesn’t want to be pitied. saying he’s in love would expose a lot more emotional pain and torture than saying he has a crush already did.

mike isn’t just a crush, will is just unwilling to show all of his cards like that. and honestly, good for him.

[pawnyouoff]

the duffer brothers are either going to pull through with a generational lock in of a finale or we all just fell for the century's biggest queerbait of all time

[bylerworld]

i can't believe this is an actual canon shot of netflix's hit show stranger things

[bylertruth3r]

"at Mike. his friends" interesting, they singled out Mike from Will's friends because Will still loves him and he's gonna be more than Will's best friend, he's gonna be Will's boyfriend

[strangerlesbians]

✅ mike singled out in the script

✅ mike having a different reaction to will coming out than everyone else

✅ mike wearing camouflage during the scene

✅ the camera cutting to mike when will says "im ready to show him i'm not afraid anymore."

✅ the scene literally ending on mike and will making eye contact

✅ confirmation that mike is now certain will has a "crush" on him

✅ the only relationships in the show that werent resolved in vol2 being byler and mileven

✅ shawn levy saying that finn had a lot of emotional weight to carry this season despite little, if any, of it being in vol1 and vol2

idk this is all i could think of off the top of my head im actually at like 97% byler confidence now

robin buckley doesnt like butthole surfers because she doesnt like boys. mike wheeler likes butthole surfers because….. because he….
