“They’re just friends, stop forcing everything to be gay!”

But I'm sure if one of them was a woman, everyone would ship them (And it would still become canon)

[wenclair-more-like-whenclair]

Why do the "let dudes be friends" ppl only ever say that about the gayest motherfuckers who have ever walked the earth??? So many good examples and good representation of dudes being pals, but you have to say this shit about the two men who stare at each other's lips for a living and clearly dream about each other at night???

[bylrlvr]

i’ve played these games before

rare aesthetic: closeted gay men mourn for their lost potential with the love of their lives

(2019) it hid behind your teeth and you were too nervous to seek it out. you waited for the perfect moment until you couldn’t.

[crazytogetherbylers123]

He is so meowing 🫣🔥❤️‍🔥

[caramelwhim]

so..! to recap !!!!

we don't know why will was taken specifically

hopper and joyce just happened to conveniently forget going to school with henry

the painting lie hasn't been addressed

we don't know why el recognized will in season 1 without having ever seen him before

we don't know who opened the door the night will was taken

mike and will's colors just HAPPEN to be blue and yellow and the cast, crew, and WRITERS THEMSELVES telling us to "pay attention to detail" was deadass just generational queerbait

after everything, mike STILL couldn't say i love you to eleven

patty newby is non-existent and creelby just happens to parallel byler for literally no reason 🩷

will was about to FORGIVE henry.

the duffers genuinely forgot their OWN MAIN CHARACTERS BIRTHDAY AND AGE MULTIPLE TIMES

the russian involvement in s3 and s4 was never explained so it was prob just capitalist propaganda except they don't want us to realize that so they gave jonathan an entire anti-capitalist film storyline for the sake of "screwing conformity" i guess

ohhh but! critiquing society???? fuck that! because they also didn't show us vickie in the epilogue at all, giving her and robin a completely ambiguous ending in which 90% of the fandom believe they broke up off-screen!!!!!!! A+ for representation !!!!!!

not only that, but will doesn't even have a CONFIRMED epilogue boyfriend. that is full well a cute lil headcanon that MIKE has for him.

terry ives, lonnie, enzo, max's mom, suzie, argyle, dr kay, the turnbow family, the school counselor with the clock necklace, and dr owens just vanished into thin air, ALONG WITH ALL THE DANGERS OF THE UPSIDE DOWN???? where were the demodogs, the demogorgons, the demobats????

max's letters were just completely insignificant and had no reason to be mentioned again i guess

november 6 just happened to be a funny coincidence

they ALSO happened to forget that nancy had a vision of mike being killed by vecna in s4 bc that boy wasn't even remotely in danger at all while every other wheeler was put through hell

dr brenner's obsession and fascination with the upside down and abyss stemming from how his father was involved in project rainbow was also not addressed

not to mention that the dude is literally horrendous at drawing animals but when it comes to the flipping hexcore he's da vinci

melvalds, the general store, just happens to sell milkshakes

will adores getting lost in the woods because that's such a fun activity for him

henry just gave holly her favorite song because he was feeling kind

they never actually defeated the mind flayer !!!! which is wonderful

we actually never find out whether or not will lost his powers

el's water tank in the upside down being completely full although there has literally NEVER been water in the upside down before

mike is somehow the only one who has ever understood el even though she was 10x happier with max. could they not have just admitted that they made the elmax reunion so incredibly lackluster because they refused to let ANY gay ships win regardless of how much chance they had of being canon?

the 'lovebirds' parallel between jonathan + steve and mike + eleven??? what was that even for

all the dick jokes, mike listening the a band called the BUTTHOLE SURFERS, the camera panning to mike 7000 times during will's coming out scene, mike not being able to touch will, all just happened to be fun coincidences

not only that, but the mike-will-eleven and nancy-jonathan-steve love triangles were resolved by none of the couples working out! wow.

they really just made us wait 3 whole years for something BEYOND mid.

"i'm the only one acting normal here, i'm the only one that cares about will"

"i got him, i got him"

"he's quiet today"

"crazy together, right"

"you're like a spy now, a super spy"

"it was the best thing i've ever done"

"are you hurting again"

"i couldn't find you, are you hurt"

"i'm gonna get you home"

"is he okay"

"you can't leave, it's raining"

"it's not my fault you don't like girls"

"i was being a total asshole"

"please, can you come outside and we'll talk"

"max, get away from the door"

"what if you wanna join another party"

"we're friends, we're friends"

"why am i the bad guy"

"thanks by the way"

"for knocking some sense into me"

"i was being a total self pitying idiot"

"we're a team. friends. bestfriends."

"you didn't have to"

"i feel like i lost you or something"

"we will, we will"

"you're more like a sorcerer"

"will come on, come on"

"he's a sorcerer!!!"

"a real life honest to God sorcerer!!"

[faguettism]

so i guess they really did save the world with the power of rejection and suicide

[sticklystag]

So Will was in pain. he was feeling everything. EVERYTHING. he was getting stabbed, burned alive, shot at and split apart but that didn’t matter right? because god forbid you focus on the character that started this series because you wanted to focus on a bland, flat battle. great going

[l0sersitsbyherself]

Do the Duffers realise that answering ‘because we didn’t want to show that’ to someone asking an extremely valid question about the lore set up in the series isn’t a valid answer?

[thewisewill80sbyers]

they want me to believe that in less than 2 minutes they hiked a whole wall of a canyon to fight from there, people with ZERO training in anything that are mostly nerds and normal? And no one dies? Of course... but a gay kid having his feelings reciprocated by the love of his life is unrealistic

[l0sersitsbyherself]

i think this is the one thing that majority of us can agree on at the moment

[lucystark12]

so many funny characters on post volume two byler tumblr. we've got:

bylers who are completely unshaken and confused by the drama

og finale byler truthers who quote the duffer's korrasami tweet fourteen times a day

fan art and ao3 bylers keeping us satiated with fix-its

bylers who are fully in the depression stage of grief and are taking a leave of absence

bylers who are in the bargaining stage of grief teaming up with bylertwt to prove cutgate real

pissed off bylers who are angry at the very idea of cutgate and just want the band aid ripped off

hopeful bylers who are literally too afraid to reblog any theories out of fear of jinxing it

angry duffer hating bylers who are fully prepared to boycott every duffer project from now on and place some kind of spell on them

sad duffer hating bylers who can't believe just how bad the writing has gotten

ex shawn levy glazing bylers who are literally too stunned to speak

"everything is political" bylers who are concerned about the state of popular media if this ends up being bait and are blaming the whole ordeal on late stage capitalism

unsure bylers who are a different one every hour.

it's dark on here.

[beaneske]

tag yourself, I am team "different one every hour"

[moonyscupid]

I have zero byler doubt. In fact, I have byler confidence, and I'll tell you why

I thought to myself that if they don't show us byler now, it will be in episode eight.

Think about it, probably the biggest plot twist of the decade and they're going to reveal it in Vol 2???? HA I don't think so.

Plus, if the end of byler was going to be unrequited, then we as an audience would've gotten closure of any type from Mike. Something that told us he definitely didn't return Will's feelings... But we didn't.

Instead, what we got is byler almost never interacting, mleven scenes being the least romantic thing ever, and El (my baby) is planning to die.

And!!!! We got Will's (my son) coming out scene!!!!

Now, we know Mike doesn't know Will loves him, we know that. But now, he knows Will likes men. So he's got a chance.

Also, Will saying that this someone is 'his Tammy'. Mike never rejected Will, in fact, he never gave us a sign in this season (or any season) that he would reject him.

Will just assumed Mike could never love him.

But we still don't have Mike's side of the story.

And we're still yet to see the many scenes Finn and Noah filmed together. We're still yet to see Finn carrying the emotional weight of the plot, as Shawn Levy said.

Remember, the final is 2 hours and half an hour long. That's plenty of time for things to happen.

Also, Robin's conversation with Will on the roof.

She said she accepted herself, then she told someone and then she got with Vickie.

Sounds familiar, right?

Will accepted himself, Will told some about him (he told everyone!) and then.... We know what's next.

Don't forget about the signals, guys. The avalanche!

Mike knows Will's gay, he knows. And now, it's his turn to make a move. His turn to make an avalanche.
