Hiya, saw this video on tiktok about st being queerbait, im only on s1 can you tell me if its actually queerbait?

well . that's a bit of a complicated question and it all depends on how v2 and the last season decides to end things. what we do know for sure is that there are queer characters (robin, lesbian and will, gay) and they each have their own romances going on (robin and vicky, though that may just be a throwaway reference in contrast to steve's romantic struggles, and will and mike, the latter i'll speak to more).

i wont spoil you of the story, as i still believe s2 is the best and though i personally dislike s3 and s4 isnt finished yet, they of course each have plenty to contribute to the story of stranger things. now, the claim that st is queerbait is an interesting thing. queerbaiting occurs not just in the context of the show's characters but the people involved in it is as well. from actors to directors, to writers and producers, everything that goes into telling and marketing a story that puts emphasis on a queer romance between two characters that never resolves—or resolves in the direction of denying either character being queer, is queerbaiting.

right now, there is explicit tension between will and mike and the development of their friendship. s4 has pretty much deliberately shown us that any previous readings people had about will's sexuality and in particular, his crush on mike, are true. mike on the other hand, well, that's far more up to interpretation than will, but i'm firmly biased in the direction of mike being closeted and s4-5 showing us him coming to terms with his feelings.

the queerbait here would be between mike and will because the show has given us a lot of evidence that will's feelings are real and that even mike's are too. st4 really hammered that in imo, and you can tie that in with the promotions for the show—the interviews cast has given that include talk about mike and an emotional monologue, mike kicking into gear when someone he loves is in danger, will having a crush on someone in the party, etc etc . it doesn't make any narrative sense for this duo to not be a reciprocated crush. if they arent, despite all that's been said and done between the writing, the parallels mike and will have in comparison to other romantic "endgame" couples, the interviews and vague hints, then that would be queerbaiting.

but until it is set in stone that the story will essentially shoot itself in the foot by ignoring mike and will's unique, different, special, honestly romantic relationship, i don't think this is queerbait. but i can see how one might say it could be . but we're not there yet . we'll see in july for sure once everyone's reunited.

#yams answers #anon #byler #its not even about being overly confident or pessimistic #if you just LOOK at the way mike responds to will vs el and the way he treats them both #even if hes an ass to each of them the way he comes back from that is different and speaks VOLUMES #nothing anyone can say will erase that fact and the decision that the writers and editors left those reactions in the final version of #these episodes

So since I went back and rewatched/watched the Sahara opening from all three perspectives, I gotta just make a list of my favorite parts because it was so good. Some of these can only be found specific to one POV or two POVs so I highly recommend watching all of them because it’s so worth it.

Episodes: Grian’s 71 Mumbo’s 105 Iskall’s 111

Pre-Opening:

-Mumbo and Iskall trying last minute to make all the redstone work before Grian finds out that it isn’t done -Mumbo having a Grian head in his inventory while he is working on Sahara for seemingly no reason -Mumbo’s “YES!” when the stocking (i think) works and how excited he gets -Mumbo just completely gushing over how much he loves the project

-Iskall pro-speed-slick-recording of Mumbo’s ice confession (as well as Grian in the background “He’s totally recording. Don’t fall for it.”) and then saying that Mumbo went on to say he loves ice -Iskall: I’m gonna meet up with the boys. *opens a chest full of stuff and deeply sighs* I’m gonna clear this up then I’m gonna meet up with the boys.

Opening (under a read more cause it got long):

-The fact that Grian didn’t put on any sort of skin to begin with. I know he put on the Steve Jobs skin, but idk I find it amusing he didn’t put on his business suit for the actual opening part -Mumbo’s “Oh this is a nice tent” as he hides behind it because you can clearly tell by the other two’s laughter that that hadn’t been apart of their original skit -The failed first launch -Ren. Just... Ren. -How Mumbo mentions that the exploded door matches the one in the warehouse and immediately telling Iskall that no, he hasn’t fixed it and that it’s staying forever -Iskall and Mumbo (of all people) questioning why Grian killed a wandering trader and Grian innocently responding “I found him like that.” -The entire “It’s glasses!” interaction in response to Grian’s Steve Jobs skin -Iskall trying to keep a straight face even though you hear him quietly laughing -Violent Mumbo 1: hitting Ren towards the ordering part of Sahara -Mumbo barely being able to prevent himself from directly telling Ren how the system works and how to work it -Grian responding to Ren’s comment of a long wait with “But look at the lights go on! Ding, ding? We’re on two lights now, how exciting is this Ren? -Grian: ...thats it i’m closing the company, Sahara is over- -Iskall: NO WAIT! HAVE SOME FAITH! -”I got a beacon... receipt.” ”That’s Sahara in a nutshell. You get charged for things that don’t actually arrive.” -Grian and Iskall’s laughter sounding like they’re crying -Grian hitting all the armor stands out the door -Violent Mumbo 2: “So here’s my idea... we kill him.” -All three of them clearly having an idea of how that huddle should go and then not agreeing on it. Grian trying to have this act of employer to employees, Mumbo just saying they should kill Ren and start again, and then Iskall trying to work off that -Iskall trying to think of something that might be near and dear to Ren without mentioning family and only managing to come up with his sunglasses -Iskall: Think about his sunglasses. -Mumbo: I haven’t been able to think about anything else since he’s arrived. -Iskall managing to keep a straight face when talking about mispricing the beacons and that finally cracking Mumbo’s facade while Grian is just in disbelief -Honestly this whole huddle is the best thing -”Where did we put the payment chest? We forgot about the payment chest.” “Are you kidding me????” -Mumbo: I only put one minecart in I wasn’t expecting him to order this much *cue them all breaking down even further* -”He ordered rockets... And they arrived! I don’t know how! How have they arrived?” “Don’t question it!” “No- why has he just broken the shulker box? Ren stop yourself!” “Because there’s no instructions!” -Mumbo: Oh gosh! I’m setting myself on fire. Where’s my flint and steel? *looks at Grian* You took it. I hate my life- bye. *disconnecting* -Grian actually checking to see if he took Mumbo’s flint and steel because that’s something he would do -Violent Mumbo 3: hitting Grian and basically threatening him not to ever touch the system again -Iskall clearly not seeing the Beta sign on Sahara if his laugh is anything to go by while Mumbo and Grian already knew about it -All of them doing this zoom in on Ren as he stands on a chimney (which by itself is hilarious) -How the second-first opening fails and Grian is exasperated, Iskall is dying of laughter, and Mumbo is hopelessly embarrassed -”For goodness SAKE! I hate this! I don’t want to be part of this group anymore! Bunch of useless people!” -Ren witnessing all of this and inviting Mumbo to come chill on the chimney with him (”Yeah I’m going up on the chimney.”) -Mumbo having to stop himself from saying anything to Ren during the ordering process -Mumbo forgetting he doesn’t have an elytra on and trying to fly (this seems to be a common occurrence with him in S6) -Mumbo’s EEEEEEEE when he sees the minecart working -Ren’s carrots going into the machine and Grian just going “Now it’s not my fault!” -Grian: This is the most complicated thing I’ve ever been apart of and I didn’t do anything complicated so I feel great. -Violent Mumbo 4: “Did Ren ever pay?” *before even checking* “No. Should we beat him up?” (Bonus: Mumbo cutting to the next part with a transition of him saying “One serious beating later”) -Ren: Do I get a discount for being the first customer? “No.” “No.” “Absolutely not, we’re a business.”
