Do you ever feel like that part of the reason that people don't ship Wheelclair as much as Byler is racism?

Like, especially racism in m/m ships especially in regards interracial pairings is ignored and not talked about, and I feel like Byler is one of this. If you go into into the early wheelclair posts, (yes I scrolled that far, I have no life) there are quite a few bylers that straight up hate on wheelclair.

And then theres the fact that arguably, Lucas does more acts of love for mike than Will.

When Max breaks up with Lucas, Lucas decides to focus on Mike's breakup and help him through a tough time in his life, while Will tries to focus on his interests.

In season 1, Lucas fights with Mike because he's worried that El will hurt him.

In season 5, he's literally the only one in the party outside of Max and El to comfort him about the fact that his baby sister is missing, his parents are in a coma. Dustin decides becomes obstinate (like, sure dude, I know you and steve are having issues and you are traumatized by eddie's death, but get it together you best friend of seven years has his family kidnapped or in the ICU)

And then there's Will with his flirting.

but for some reason, they take the smallest look of mike and will and turn it into a full romance plot, while they have Mike Tenderlly looking at Lucas's chest wound and go "yeah, that's platonic"

Yes, I really do believe this. A lot of Byler shipping is racism, and a lot of the ignoring of Lucas is also racism. Much of Lucas's writing in show and by fans is racist, people don't care about him and write him poorly and fall into stereotypes and mischaracterization.

I can definitely see bylers hating on wheelclair 😭😭. And also the preference of the white on white m/m ship is usually because of subconscious racism or white superiority/centrality and subconscious misogyny. People just want to see two white men do it, they don't care for women or characters of color.

And YES. LUCAS AND MIKE ARE BEAT FRIENDS. Lucas cares for Mike so much, he's always there supporing Mike and he's always by Mike's side. Lucas in s1 ive seen gets some hate for being rude to El, but he's 11 his friend is missing and his best friend is messing around with some girl with powers and a mysterious life. He wants to keep his best friend safe and he's doing how he thinks he needs to BECAUSE HE CARES SO MUCH. isn't this conflict and care more interesting than will byers shits on mike every season..

Lucas is always there emotionally for Mike, like you said in s3 after the breakup but also after hop threatens mike, Lucas is there. Season 5 Lucas is one of three people who notice Mike's feelings, and Will isn't one of them.

People who hate Wheelclair are honestly not noticing their chemistry and love because they don't like Lucas, and that's mostly because of subconscious racism. Like Kali hate to a smaller degree.

And the Byler supremacy is also the continuation of white on white m/m ships that rot fandom

when the mike wheeler burger comes with a side of self destructive fries and prioritization of others’ safety over his own sauce

[mandyluvspuppies]

Idk how to describe it but Mike Wheeler is spiritually an emotional support dog with one of those little service dog vests. Like hypothetically if he was an animal he’d be a service dog. Does anyone understand

[mandyluvspuppies]

I think Mike would be a big fan of whimsical funky sweaters, he has a large collection of them and owns one for every occasion. He has like 10 different Christmas sweaters that he wears even when it’s not Winter, he has a Halloween themed sweater, he has an Easter themed sweater, he has a Valentines Day themed sweater, he has a bunch of brightly coloured and patterned ones for everyday hangouts, he has it alllll and they’re arranged neatly by pattern and colour

[spellbookofhawkins]

this is the vibe of tfem mike

[mandyluvspuppies]

Forever mourning the potential of Mike having been in Hawkins in S4, figuring out the main mystery of Vecna, coming up with an effective plan, showing his leadership and strategy skills and intelligence, being part of the main battle and getting to use a weapon and go into the Upside Down to fight the bats and overall playing an important role, similar to how in S1 he was one of the ones at the centre of unfolding the Upside Down mystery and leading the group.. rather than being separated on the fuckass bumass no good unemployed broke ass smelly irrelevant C*li plot that was as interesting to watch as paint drying and made him a literal side character with 0 plot relevance outside his relationship with El and also repeatedly mischaracterised him so he could be a plot device for El’s lab arc and Will’s van scene.

Oh my god S4 was absolutely terrible for Mike’s character and I’ll forever mourn it. Separating him on a useless side plot, making him be away from most of the characters and only interact with a few, is the worst thing they could’ve done for him because he’s very character driven, and he’s at his best when he’s in a larger group, interacting with lots of different people, as it shows different sides to his personality, explores both his family and friendship dynamics not just romance, and shows how he can be assertive and take charge in groups. Again referring back to S1 when we saw his dynamic with Will, Dustin Lucas, El, Nancy, Karen, even small crumbs of Ted and Hopper, along with clearly showing his role as leader and heart because he was PART of the main plot and INTERACTING with people. I wish I could’ve written you Mike Wheeler

Actually glad I wasn’t really in the fandom prior to 2022 because if I watched S3 which already had downgraded his character a bit and then had to wait years only to receive THAT I would’ve kms on the spot.

[mandyluvspuppies]

S3 Mike Wheeler beefing with this middle aged ass cop is one of my favourite things ( I hope this isn’t offensive to joke about, lmk…..

[madwheelie]

would mike wheeler and stephanie brown be friends 🤔

i think they would be a fun duo. it takes them both of them a while to befriend people, they're both loyal and deeply caring, and they see themselves as outcasts. I think they'd be like Mike and Max just with a little less of a rocky start. they'd definitely throw pranks together and bully stupid men.

[spellbookofhawkins]

(tw; grooming/sa)

new mikehop dynamic dropped…i have so many vastly different aus for them

anyways

[stardewfalls]

Yeah

[madwheelie]

i’m bringing back the toxic byler fic and i need your opinion on who will cheats on mike with or is at least like pushing it with…i’m thinking carlton or chance or someone like that but i want to know what you think 🤔

i think carlton over chance bc i think both mike and will left everything that connects to hawkins behind them.

in my mind it was always some guy will meets at a bar in new york, so carlton probably fits that idea better.

i honestly think it's more will is pushing the line with a lot of people, but him actually cheating is a good direction as well.

also i am SO excited for this fic!! i LOVE angst. yes mike get cheated on yes mike leave that ugly ass hoe yes will get karma for your actions!!!! SO EXCITED
