#milevens

[wolfhaquarian]

something i really like about this fandom is that almost all bylers and milevens agree that mike wheeler was a dumbass and he did not deserve either will or eleven

only true love would make you love him because NOBODY likes mike wheeler

[pjo-fan17]

can we, as milevens, collectively agree that if “yk who” becomes canon, we will handle it with grace and kindness? that we will be the bigger people and not start stupid fights? please.

Milevens low-key make tear up bc they remind me of me at their age (bc most of them are like 10) when i was a little homophopbic shit saying owl house was forced inclusion then i discovered the beauty of bl and my life changed , honestly my moms fault but i put her in rehabilitation (heartstopper) and she's cool now

I do NOT understand tiktok milkvans cuz how the fuck do you even acquire this opinion??? what the fuck is wrong with them 😭😭 it's gotta just be homophobia at this point...

hi jo! so admittedly, i skimmed your trailer breakdown (which wow, extremely impressive that you got that much from it, half the stuff you pointed out is stuff i never would have noticed), so i might have missed this but i wondered if the kids (and later jonathan and nancy) are trying to investigate what happened to heather and that's whose house they're at from that one still? i saw at theory that the shot of el in the void looking like she's drowning could relate to them trying to figure out +

(cont.) what happened to heather, because it so closely mirrors the shot we have of heather seemingly drowning (also el doesn’t seem to be wearing the yellow shirt from the other void scene). this made me wonder if maybe when the kids are in the basement, that’s what they’re trying to figure out, which would answer why they might be at the pool (which is a great find, i assumed they were at the hospital already).

hey kate! so… there’s a lot to unpack here! :) this is gonna be an add-on of this post.

first off, i could definitely see the kids (and nancy/jon in their own storyline before they team up) trying to figure out what happened to heather via el entering the void. it makes sense given they need a mystery to investigate this season, and episode three is aptly titled “the case of the missing lifeguard”; so it makes sense to me that they’d use heather’s disappearance as the way to make the party/jancy/maybe even billy meet up. but i feel like that theory needs to be altered somehow.

[warning: potential spoilers below!]

in the shots of el in the void (where she isn’t wearing the yellow shirt, and i can’t believe i forgot to include these ones in my long ass rant, lol), she’s wearing a blue t-shirt and pants:

and not this *hello eighties* outfit we see her in when she’s (i guess pretty obviously) on the hunt for the truth with the rest of the party:

i guess it’s possible that both of these looks are worn on the same day (and that the girls just change after it starts raining or whatever), but it’s probably important to note that what she’s wearing in the void is the same outfit she was wearing in a scene with max near the community pool (that we’ve yet to see in any official capacity):

if they were filming at/around the pool, with the heather actress on hand, then maybe something happens while el and max are there (minus the rest of the party) that leads them to start asking questions. the fact that millie reportedly had a stunt double that day too just screams important! to me. they filmed this stuff when her knee was busted so i feel like el having scenes in water were shot around that same time.

my best guess at this point is that max and el are at the pool, and maybe they don’t even have to get in the water, but el can tell that something is amiss and she has a *vision* (kind of like in ‘holly, jolly’ when she sensed something was up with barb by simply looking at her picture) in which she sees heather drowning. she proceeds to tell max (hence her looking like she’s telling her something on those bts pics, and max’s “i’m all ears” face).

(that could definitely be el’s shoulder we’re looking over, especially since whoever it is is wearing blue. that part of the theory we totally agree on).

meanwhile, the boys are at the mall. i forgot to bring this up in my post also but someone pointed it out to me that finn, noah and caleb were seen filming outside the mall sometime around late may — remember the yellow shirt from hell that we all joked about? yeah, it made its debut here. and will’s striped tee? i’m gonna touch on that in a sec.

we haven’t seen anything of the whole group together while they were dressed like this aside from.. wait for it… mike and el in the poster!

even though el is wearing a lighter coloured t-shirt in the poster that contrasts better with the colouring in the background, i’m gonna go ahead and assume both of their respective outfits go hand-in-hand… literally.

so, basically, if we’re going off the #solvingherdisappearance theory, we’ve got:

el and max at the pool, where el can sense that something /bad/ has either happened or is going to happen and she channels heather in the void somehow (and we see her try to reach out to save her but it’s too late);

the boys at the mall while this happens (though they’re probably just watching “back to the future” or something), though there might be tension;

it rains at some point, possibly while the girls are walking home and the boys are outside of the mall, given the fact that will’s t-shirt in the aforementioned mall scene looks suspiciously similar to the one he’s wearing in that *emo scene in the trailer:

(thoughts? let me know!)

the party reconvene either later that same day (after the rain and hence why they’re all changed into different clothes), or the next day… i’m leaning towards it being a day later for narrative purposes and i assume it’ll be at the wheeler house;

el (and max) explain what happened and they agree that el should try and re-enter the void to find heather again:

they end up at heather’s house — possibly to try and find something of hers to channel her so el can try again?

but who do they run into there?

i’d actually be willing to bet they team up with jonathan and nancy at the wheeler home already (because we saw behind the scenes stuff of all seven of them filming there, in costume) and then they all head out together — hence why the family car is involved in later scenes) — and el only does *the look* when either one of the older two can’t get into heather’s house.

they split up: jancy go to the hospital for answers (and either bruce or billy factor in there) and the party go to the pool together this time:

i get that we’re not supposed to know they’re at the pool — i cracked that case for everyone — but it’s interesting to me that el isn’t in either shot… another void scene maybe?

thoughts? questions? let’s talk!

ok for some reason all this talk abt mike & el with a bunch of children is making me think of them being married and their four year old having a birthday party meaning that there are just a BUNCH of four year olds at their house and something happening where el is occupied so mike is just in charge of all of these children

lmao, kate, can you imagine mike in charge of a horde of 4 year olds??? like, he loves his own child, but he has no idea what to do with, like, 12 of them. and all of the sudden, he has at least a dozen pairs of eyes staring up at him expectantly and he just freezes.

like we’re talking a silent, full-on panic attack.

but then his own four year old tugs on his hand and asks mike to tell them a story or play a game with them and it’s familiar enough ground for mike to find his footing.

so, by the time el comes back, she finds her husband playing with a rapt audience of a bunch of four year olds and it’s just about the most adorable thing el’s ever seen and she’s never loved him more than she does in this very moment.

(mike totally crashes once the party is over and he has no idea how his wife handles dealing with kids that age all day, but he does know she’s the most amazing person he’s ever met in his entire life)
