reminder that Mike said he wanted to be a team with Will but in the script it just said that he wanted to be friends again, they changed the line to parallel it to Hopper saying that him and Joyce make a pretty good team, we all know Jopper are in love with each other and they were a slow burn couple, it's intentionally a romantic parallel and Jopper became a team in s3 and they got together in s4, Byler became a team in s4 and they're gonna get together in s5
The Duffers love to parallel Byler to romantic couples, because they're also gonna be a romantic couple
they called the Byler scene a shattered intimate moment and the Jopper scene a shattered intimate moment
funny how they gave mlvn the stancy storyline (and argument and break up in the same episode) in the same season where they confirmed Will is gay and in love with Mike, and the same season where they made Byler a team like Jopper the season before they got together and the season where Byler has the "we're just friends" trope like Jancy and Jopper and the interruption trope (romantic trope) with the same soundtrack they used for Lumax in s2 (on the bus) in the script it says that Byler was supposed to be interrupted by the doorbell ringing but in the show they got interrupted by the sound of tires
"this intimate moment is shattered by" "shattering the moment", romantic moments
in the mlvn scene it just says that Argyle drops the pizza on the table
Byler food and willelmike food, love triangle imagery
platonic friendship vs repressed gay romantic feelings
"likes: Will's drawings"
dislikes: saying the word "love" (to El) pack it up homotron 7000😭
like he's not even afraid of saying it to El he genuinely doesn't like saying it to her, why you ask? 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈, he doesn't love her romantically, he's gay and in love with Will
it's official and made by netflix and you can pre order it here
This Stranger Things Annual for 2026 takes you on an epic journey to explore the roots of the Netflix hit show. With profiles of the series'
epilogue Byler are boyfriends <33 and Will's shirt has blue sleeves and Mike totally bought Will that necklace, Mike gave Holly the necklace with the cleric figure so what if Mike bought Will that necklace with the lock? To show that he's taken, lock necklaces represent commitment in a relationship, Will has this necklace during the bar scene with Mike
Mike carrying Will's backpack
"Mike took Will's disappearance the hardest" GAYYY🤨🏳️🌈, also Will felt like Mike was replacing him with El because he used to act romantically with Will before he started dating El, for example Mike was more physical with Will and treated him like a lover in s2, o basically in the st annual Mike took Will's disappearance the hardest, he likes Will's drawings, he doesn't like saying ily to El🤨🏳️🌈
Mike sat under the W: means Will, Robin sat under the V: means Vickie .they love their partners so much <33 and Will sat under the M: means Mike
from here
Mike's dinner date is with Will because they're living together, obviously the party doesn't know they're dating because they have to keep it a secret, if it was with El they would've known because their ex relationship was not a secret and the party knew about it
Byler in each other's color, they're soulmates 💙💛
BYLER NEXT TO EACH OTHER, in the s5 video promo with Noah, Finn and Caleb
lesbyler <33 post here
"HIS FRIEND EL" S5 PLATONIC ELMIKE THIS IS NOT A DRILL, MIKE AND EL ARE FRIENDS IN S5, they mentioned Max so this is not from s1 and they mentioned the basketball team being mad about Jason, they leaked the mlvn break up 😭, Mike had a banana seat bike in s1 btw so this is from s5, Netflix made this, it's from the Stranger Things annual 2026
from here
WHAT??? THE HEART?? from here, CRAZY TOGETHER
GUYS NOAH WAS AT THE WHEELER'S IN THE NEW NETFLIX VIDEO, WILL IS ACTUALLY LIVING WITH MIKE. did they film s5 Byler promo in there? the Byler dinner date?
pic from here
ALSO video here
this is so serious to me, imagine Byler being domestic and baking together, waking up together, brushing their teeth together (actually they're admiring the other in the mirror), going to school and coming back home together, making lunch/dinner together, Byler's matching mugs <3
he's back at Mike's house again
It's really interesting how Will and El are sat..
Mike's boyfriend Will
Mike's friend El
WILLELMIKE LOVE TRIANGLE PROMO, they think they're subtle 😭funny thing is that Will wasn't even in that scene

Breaking News: Stranger Things s4 script and One Way or Another reveal that Nancy Wheeler has been lowkey smitten with Robin Buckley the entire time and literally no one was surprised.
ronance confirmed canon on a random tuesday
mike in the script going from “we're friends, will. friends.” to “friends. best friends.” and people think he doesn’t reciprocate feelings for will
"I want today to be about us" being specifically written as a jig to Will and focusing on him feeling bad and not about mlvn. Lol
On other notes. El and Mike can both go kll themselves. Good morning
x
what the hell were you going to say? WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU GOING TO SAY MIKE?? MIKE. TALK TO ME. TELL ME WHAT WERE YOU GOING TO SAAAAY
tosses it like a basketball
🏀
If you keep staring at that, it’s not going to change.

Will […] drops it in for him —

[Will] waits for his friend [Mike]. Giving him time.
