the duffers: everyone on the show gets to experience heterosexual romance 😍 even you mr clarke. gay will byers, you will be in love with your best friend for five seasons and finally come to terms that you have NO chance with him and never did. but you will accept yourself and that it's okay to be gay. you will end up alone or with a random epilogue boyfriend that no one gaf about. this is what we spent five seasons building towards. this is equality.
and with that another character has been added to the Finn wolfhard doomed yaoiverse
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
might have to deactivate this account. ok.
just kidding michael closeted queeler wheeler you are still dear to me
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.
characters who arent canonically gay but whose behavior just makes no sense unless you read them as gay
Wow LOVED the part when El says 'I love you' to Mike just before she dies and he doesn't say it back even though that was their whole conflict last season. Great writing there.
all things said. the duffers set up fanfic writers real well with this epilogue !
i’m sorry mike was sooooo good luck babe in the epilogue like they literally styled his hair like he will never be happy again and he will yearn for will for the rest of his life
it’s called stranger things because the writing choices just get stranger with each passing episode
not mileven endgame not byler endgame but a secret third thing (none of us win)
They gave Chekov too many guns and he accidentally shot Mike Wheeler.
if it isn’t revealed that mike likes will back in the finale, then mike being the last of the party to hug will after the coming out ruined their entire friendship for me btw.
i’m tired of constantly having to read into subtext even in the penultimate episode but why else would mike not be the first friend to jump in and hug will when the show and mike himself constantly keep telling us that their friendship is special and different
hey duffers! i hope you know that the latest episodes of your "show for outcasts" is only being praised by people who hate to see queer people happy btw.
You're telling me that Mike "The Heart" Wheeler would sit there completely unmoving as his best friend sobs in front of him and makes direct reference to a fight they had when they were 13 in which Mike's words deeply hurt him? That's what you want me to believe? Is it crack? Is that what you smoke?
please dont give will an epilogue boyfriend. please dont give will an epilogue boyfriend. please dont give will an epilogue boyfriend. please dont give will an epilogue boyfriend. please dont give will an epilogue boyfriend. please dont give will an epilogue boyfriend. please dont give will an epilogue boyfriend. please dont give will an epilogue boyfriend. please dont give will an epilogue boyfriend. please dont give will an epilogue boyfriend.
After Will comes out Mike says "wait. I'm also gay" and everyone slowly gets up and says 'and me'
at this point its not even about byler being canon its about mike having ANY kind of arc at all.
