How I feel explaining byler gates to my friends vs. how I look

[flowermyg]

"you're just mad at the duffers because byler didn't happen"the writers and directors of the show needed maya hawke to remind them while filming that lucas didn't know robin is a lesbian in the 80's who is dating vickie, so they should whisper about their date at enzo's and their relationship instead of talking loudly about it. yeah, they totally handled very well queer representation.

[bylerworld]

remember when this was all we had

those were the days man so peak

[sorcererss]

The thing about byler is that yeah in the end it became queerbait but it was never that. It makes me very angry that the Duffers are trying to recontexualize byler. "It was never in the cards". Bro you gave us the cards.

People shipped byler in S1-3 sure, but there is a reason why it exploded in S4. You wrote that. You destroyed mileven (your endgame ship) to prop up byler. You created a scenario where Mike and Eleven simply do not understand each other, actively lie, and are bad partners to each other to contrast with Will and Mike's deep and complex friendship. You made Mike's feelings ambiguous but had his actions speak volumes (gaslighting his gf while being able to actively apologize to his best friend).

I can't even call Season 4 queerbait because back then there was no huge byler audience to bait. You made byler big by pulling it out of the subtext and tying it to the main narrative. You used cinematography, composition, costuming, and visual cues to prop up Mike and Will's relationship. So much so that now you cannot make a romantic montage of your endgame ship without Will being in the same fucking frame. These were choices made by you, not the fans.

There is reason why the most popular episode of the entire series is the most byler-heavy, it's because you build that groundwork, you dealt those cards, and, of course, it worked. The general audience started shipping byler because the setup was VERY MUCH THERE.

You wrote byler and then you didn't deliver it. Don't ever gaslight me into thinking otherwise.

[wisehearttruther]

ep 7:

[l0sersitsbyherself]

this was literally EXACTLY me

[rosgi]

my love for you kept me going when i was 12 years old and trapped in another dimension filled with man eating monsters, all alone, having to fend for myself for an entire week. my love for you helped me to get through being tested by government scientists for the sake of information on this unknown world, who had no care for the mental and physical toll it had taken on me. my love for you and our first meeting were apart of the memories that allowed me to accept myself for who i am and become a sorcerer.

but yeah, you were nothing more than just a fleeting crush to me.

[mikes-internalised-homophobia]

"mike is will's Tammy"

Except Tammy didn't say "were friends" to Robin

Except Tammy didn't tell robin Hawkins wasn't the same without her

Except Tammy didn't stay in the hospital with robin when she was sick

EXCEPT Robins film reel didn't have Tammy in it

[bitofanupsidedowner]

concept: married byler in their forties and mike is still teasing will about calling him his tammy. refuses to let him forget it.

will's like mike can you pass the salt? and mike's like OH I'M MIKE NOW??? I THOUGHT I WAS TAMMY??? will's like excuse me what about YOU mr WE'RE FRIENDS WE'RE FRIENDS

then they make out sloppy. or whatever. the end.

[remstrrs]

byler's not stupid. it's not my fault your wife divorced you!

[monsterkill--er]

me if i hear the name tammy one more goddamn time

[watchingtvee]

I just realized I’m currently at the acceptance stage of grief(LMFAOO) so like, this situation is gonna be a win-win for me. No byler endgame? Missed opportunity, Duffers, I’ll tell you that, eh not surprised, I kinda expected that from you atp, on the other hand I’LL FINALLY BE ABLE TO CONCENTRATE ON OTHER FANDOMS, been wanting to go read “All The Young Dudes” for so long- Byler is endgame? GREAT, disappointed that it’s only in the finale but turns out we were still right!!! Do whatever you want, I genuinely don’t care now

[zimzalab1mmm-deactivated2026040]

I don’t have byler doubt, I have doubt about the Duffer Brothers’ writing abilities

[blankdotcom]

bro got no bitches and made it everyone’s problem
