pre-s5 analyses + fics under the cut ⋆°•☁
read this one first: Byler isn't complicated - 2000 follower post
el and mlvn-specific
El's arc of her desire for a normal childhood - "Pretty"
The flowers Mike gives El are a symbol for their relationship
At face value, the love monologue is not in line with El's arc
Mike has to be wrong about needing to love El
Mike's conversation with El in the grocery store is queer-coded
Debunking some mlvn arguments
The M&M scene is more interesting that you think
Mike and El do not understand each other
WillElMike are tied to a queer narrative - they cannot be genderbent
comparing byler and mlvn
Applying a theoretical model of relationships to ST couples
Mike's treatment of El's powers vs. Will's powers
There's a big difference between Byler's interruption trope and Mlvn's
Mlvn breakup vs. Byler rain argument
How Mike treats El's letters vs. Will's art
analysing specific scenes (cinematography, language, etc.)
Byler flirting scene + Robin's speech was not at all about Will accepting that Mike doesn't love him back. - S5 Spoilers - by @lune-moon-nuit
The reason Mike acts weird in the airport is because he loves Will - confirmed
Mike acting "normal" means he's queer
Mike's mind was on Will the whole time
DnD scenes in ST foreshadow events and Byler
Mike's scene with Will in S3's Epilogue
The closet kiss + Mike's realisation
Hopper's monologue gives insight into Mike's POV
All the lies in Mike's love monologue
Cinematography used in the monologue scene - Lightning
The DnD substitute search scene was Mike questioning his sexuality
Mike's bedroom.....oh boy
Mike was jealous in the airport scene with Will + more
Confirmation that Mike jumping into the quarry was about Will
Mike is clearly looking at Will in the Snow Ball scene
Will's softness with Mike in the breakfast scene makes the audience root for Byler
The Will Voice is not just something Bylers made up
byler foreshadowing, symbolism + theories
Byler and Creelby parallels foreshadow the "gay ending" of ST - S5 Spoilers - CONFIRMED TRUE??
Post-first five minutes crash out <3
Byler's love language being DnD is the biggest proof
Blue and Yellow theory is canon and has been canon
Some extra loverslakegate proof
The painting lie is Chekhov's Gun
The existence of a Love Triangle proves Byler endgame by itself
Purposeful blocking of actors
Purposeful music choices and titles
Phonegate canon or not canon? Doesn't matter!
Some smaller queer-coded jokes used
"I'm not gonna fall in love"
The insane amount of closet imagery
Light is symbolic for the Truth
mike-specific analyses (gay mike)
Mike isn't just in love with Will for his powers - S5 Spoilers
Mike displaces his anger at himself onto others
Mike's Promise and core misbelief
Mike's ideal character is only achieved in a relationship with Will
Mike's lack of attraction to women other than El
Mike's self-sabotaging avoidance to incriminate himself
Actually, Season 1 Mike is the most queer-coded /hj
season 5 predictions (take lightly)
Vecna will use Will's love for Mike against him, and Mike's internalised homophobia against Will - S5 Spoilers
We have been heterobaited far more than queerbaited in ST
Logical reasons why Will is not getting a new love interest in S5
Will's arc in S5 will not culminate in him "getting over" Mike
parallels
Jancy and Byler mirror each other
Other Jancy and Byler parallels
Byler + Jopper and Lumax parallels
Byler + Robin and Vickie parallels
Byler and their reciprocal looks of love compared with the other ships
