(Ik everyone and their alt account is posting abt this rn but I'll just give a spoiler warning anyway)
This coming out scene literally says nothing about the future of Byler. It's the same with Robin's speech about Tammy Thompson, and how Robin saw Vickie kissing another girl and ran away because she knew Vickie wasn't the one again, and how everyone else thinks because it's perspective. In Will's point of view, even though he has accepted that he's gay, he will never think Mike would like him back. Ever. He's seen Mike kiss el, say that he loves el, and everything else, but it's still will's perspective. Do we really believe Willian Byers, a character who self sabotaged in the back of the van to tell his crush that said crush's girlfriend needs him? Do we believe that same character who further self sabotaged by convincing his crush to say that he loves his girlfriend? Do we believe the exact same character who literally had multiple scenes looking at life in the most negative way, saying again and again and again that they had lost, that he is weak???
Fuck that, Will Byers is the most unreliable person to have a take on. If we want to believe Mike Wheeler doesn't have feelings back, let's wait for Mike wheeler to be the one to fucking say it, not Will.
Stay strong, fellow Byler. We WILL prevail!
Yk what? I'm starting a new gate. Never back down never what gate, or NBDNW gate. This means, even if Will says that Mike isn't "like him," we don't believe it until Mike says it to Will or anyone else himself!!!!
