byler gates - 2025 edition

keeping track of all this year's gates in real time

januarygate (all of january) - being convinced that we'll get a teaser in january.

pastagate/rigatonigate (jan 2nd) - noah posted a picture of a door with 'rigatoni' written on it. everyone decided rigatoni was will's new love interest. [similar to mikhailgate]

lobegate (jan 7th) - a byler was going around sending fake mileven asks to other bylers. in one of them they accidentally wrote 'lobe' instead of 'love'. this incident + the quest to search for their identity has been dubbed lobegate. (update: full list of possible lobe anons by @sykatz)

promgate (jan 10th) - this post explains it in full but tldr @lyricallyxo was directing a production of the prom on jan 10th (at 7pm est) and we all tried to get byler to trend for it.

plaguegate (jan 17th/18th) - honestly i was asleep while most of this went down so here's a post by @mrincrediblyblind explaining it.

blankgate (jan 26th/27th) - the account atlantaspotting on twitter posted a thread about a bunch of st cast drama, but they replaced everyone's names with 'blank' so everyone just made a meme out of it. here's a link to screenshots of the thread (post by @udkmehahaha).

i've been seeing quiet a few posts about byler prom in s5 and why do i feel like it's more and more possible as days go by...

like i remember reading a byler prom fic (cheer up, baby - @perexcri ) back in 2022 and i felt so happy and giddy even just imagining it.

and now byler is most definitely happening and what if they have a time skip and give us byler prom and what if they kiss and it's a parallel to snowball because now mike's with the one he really loves and what if it's the most beautiful thing you've ever seen?

what then?

I am SICK and TIRED of the argument "it's the 80s!! It has to be unrequited because it's the 80s so it's realistic!"

Queer people existed in the 80s. It was much harder to exist, but they absolutely existed. They were in relationships too. A lot had to hide it, yes but they STILL existed.

And then on the other hand you have the "If Mike actually liked Will he would be dating HIM"

Oh so now it's not the 80s? Now we forgot that it was much harder for people to accept it, or to be open about it? We're forgetting about internalized homophobia?

And we're forgetting about PLOT?? If Mike was with Will from the beginning it wouldn't be a story y'all 😭😭

just a reminder that you’re not crazy or delusional !! you are simply picking up on clues the writers have given us :)

i think what could really get promgate going is if they dropped a teaser like rn
