thinking about jonathan byers thinking his little brother's death, who he practically brought up all by himself, was partially 𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙛𝙖𝙪𝙡𝙩 for taking on an extra shift in order to pay the bills

thinking about jonathan byers putting up missing posters and looking at caskets and organising the whole funeral practically by himself

thinking about jonathan byers forcing himself to go and see his abusive father because he felt he needed to check his house and his 𝙘𝙖𝙧 𝙗𝙤𝙤𝙩 for will just in case

thinking about jonathan byers watching his mother refuse to accept will was dead, while the whole town was grieving, and he really really thought will was 𝙙𝙚𝙖𝙙

vecna constantly referring to will as 'william' because lonnie used to call him that when he was mad at him and vecna knows the level of fear that that caused him as a child

[mikewheelerisaqueerler]

okay THIS is why i think it was right for will to forgive vecna

I keep seeing pictures of Jimin with pigtails and I thought Mike Paladin could do the same…

But I couldn't draw it properly lol. In the original it looks like this:

I think one of my favorite canon compliant post finale byler concepts is Mike figuring himself out in college with the help of some new friends that are also queer and after some encouragement from them he comes out to the party at one of their monthly meetups. And everyone is being really sweet and supportive about it and then there's Will, sitting in the corner, just internally freaking out because "what the fuck what the fuck?? you're telling me he's been gay this entire time??? you're telling me it wasn't just all in my head and he might have actually liked me even if he didn't know that yet?????" and suddenly he's rethinking every interaction he's ever had with Mike because this is brand new information, that changes So Much.

But then Will decides to keep it calm and not assume that Mike is into him just because he's gay and out to them now and instead Will just wants to be a good friend, supporting his best friend who went though the same struggles as Will did and who can probably also really relate to Will in a way their other friends can't.

And Will tries to keep it chill, he really does and their dynamic doesn't even really change. Like from the outside they still act the same way they did before, but now it's different for Will because he realizes that Mike keeps flirting with him and Will keeps flirting back and usually he'd just brush it off because that's just how they talk to each other. But Mike is gay. And Will can't stop thinking about that every time Mike laughs at Will's jokes that weren't even that funny or every time their shoulders brush or their knees touch as they're sitting next to each other and every time Mike's voice gets really soft when he talks to Will and he keeps looking at Will's lips-

It takes them maybe a week before they kiss and then they immediately start fully making out on the couch of Will's apartment and it feels so right, like they were always supposed to be doing this one day and it just needed some time and a quiet moment to finally happen. They both just needed time to figure themselves out and sadly it happened separately, but now they both know and they know about each other and they're both here and that's really all they needed to finally find each other and get together <333

(Pls read my original tags, I really like them but I don't want to have to retype it all into the post thank youuu)

i want jonathan to have a weird undefined hazy thing with steve where they are always out at shows and at bars and at parks but not at each others apartments because that feels too intimate and i want nancy to have something bright and new and scary with robin where she thinks of her more often than she doesn’t and she wants to kiss her in the stoop of robin’s place and i want will to have something painful and angry with mike where he’s sure it’s too late and he’s sure that he has to leave every part of his old life behind to be happy and they’re all just orbiting each other in new york city and lying to each other about what’s going on in their lives
