[flickergatedaughter]

i'm so unapologetically smug ab the fact that the finale was so shit every single subfandom just fell into a deep depression and the duffers prolly think we're moping the most bc we got mike mischaracterisation, will mischaracterisation, and no byler endgame yet we had two weeks of grieving then came up with bravebyers, wisewheeler, summerof89gate, sharknilla resurrection, collegebyler hcs, more mike queercoding in the finale, thousands of fics, hundreds of fanarts, lescleradin, will never found au, florist x tattoo artist au, murder bfs au, scoops ahoy madwheeler, hellcali, surfsahoy, ttm dirty ttm sweet, double valentines tag, and to top it off no.1 ship of the year.

vol1 - vol2 was heaven post vol2 was purgatory post vol3 was hell and now we've genuinely reached byler nirvana i love you guys i love it here i never wanna leave <3

you know what the hell stranger things needed? an episode at the lake, like just the party hanging out at the lake for a full day, having the best summer ever like every anime ever having a beach episode just for the fun of it

Mike “burns in the sun” Wheeler and Will “tans in the sun” Byers except Mike insists it’s a tan while Will insists he’s burnt

Mike walking Will home after a date (during the summer of 89) and then it starts raining and Will's like "get on my back" and now he's carrying Mike to get to a spot that covers them from the rain. Mike keeps wiggling his feet in the air and kissing the back of Will's neck where the hair has started sticking to it from the rain, Will's giggling and tells him to stop, to let him focus. And once they are safe from the water at Will's front door, they look at eachother, completely wet from the rain and hair all messed up, and they start laughing together. Now it's Will's turn to kiss Mike's face, he loves how his curls stick to his cheeks.

Now when they think about the rain, they think about this.
