I am grieving Byler RIP, you will never be forgotten

[kiwi4miwi]

cuteness aggression ☺️

[tammystan]

“I’m glad Byler didn’t happen.” Why the fuck are bylers starting to say this now?

[thoraelrlffnem]

Respectfully I don't think milevens understand healthy relationships in any way. Because Mike treating Jane like a human doesn't make him some kind of god, that's BARE minimum!

And don't even try to say "b-but he was the only one who treated her like human🥺" because that's straight up bullshit, not true at all.

mike when he hears that will hasn’t had his first kiss yet and is nervous abt what it’s like

[miwiheroes]

byler being the guys on the group chat to say "omg during pride month???" at every minor inconvenience or insult that the party does

[chilikit]

"byler was never in the cards" mike almost killed his girlfriend to a record by the butthole surfers

[theluigianapurchase]

i love the implication here that he played the butthole surfers but didn’t kill his girlfriend when it was in fact the opposite

[chilikit]

and i love you coming into my house to insult my english

[heyimcelery]

Can you imagine how differently byler would have gone if Steve had been the one to see Will and Mike on the field during sorcerer?? I love Robin but her gaydar is god awful while Steve clocked Vickie from 10 miles away. He would have butted into Wills love life and given some awful advice that doesn't at all work but the outcome leads to Will figuring out his own things that does work leading to byler endgame

[tammystan]

I don’t know if it’s real or not, but there’s an alleged season 5 script, and M11s are happy because Mike didn’t say “I love you” in the Purple Rain scene because he was afraid of losing her...

You people are so male centered, it’s insane. Instead of being angry that Mike didn’t put his feelings aside and reassure his girlfriend that he loved her too before SHE DIED, you’re treating this bullshit misogynistic scene as romantic. I swear to god...

[tammystan]

It’s so funny how Mike didn’t thank El for the painting or tell her how important it was to him 😭 Look at our main couple 🥰

[bylerworld]

saying byler was never in the cards is admitting to queerbaiting lmao do they not realize this or are they really that evil

[bylerworld]

they said they didn't give will a new love interest because they wanted will's coming out to be about himself but then went and made it all about mike? make it make sense

[hawkinsschoolcounselor]

Sounds like homophobia with extra steps.

Can people stop pushing the conspiracy theories now? This isn't some elaborate bit the Duffers are playing here. They're just idiots and/or assholes.

[tammystan]

People who stopped shipping Byler are so insufferable. Making shady tweets and calling Bylers delusional...girl, you were with us one month ago, still crying that Byler didn’t happen. Be serious.

[bylerworld]

i've held pieces of paper more lovingly than this so has mike was a generational interaction by the way

[chappellroansleftkneecap]

it’s actually so insane that the same tv show that calls their central queer character a fag and a fairy never lets him have a romance or even say the word gay

[hawkinsschoolcounselor]

But he doesn't hate himself anymore, and that's the best possible outcome for a gay person. According to the Duffers, at least.

[munaymunchter]

"But then I realized that it was never about him it was about me"

I hate so much this sentence, it makes zero sense.

First of all, I hate how they never explained how Will "realized" it when in the last episode he was asking Robin for advice to confess to Mike, and if it is because Venca showed him some visions it's even worse because that means that Vecnas plan succeeded to scare Will and Will accepted that manipulation and rejected himself, and they clearly did all that so Will and Mike didn't have a confrontation about Will's feelings or the painting, it's so fucking homophobic they were so scared of Byler it's obvious.

Second, it's practically a lie, Will's storyline was always hand in hand with his love for Mike, they never focused on just his struggles with his sexuality, they showed how Will suffered because he was in love with Mike since season 3, so yeah it was about him lol.

And third of all I hate how they make it as if it was a bad thing that it was about Mike, lol he was in love with him, and the problem? Why it must be about himself? It's like as if they are blaming Will for liking Mike.

Also, you can hate yourself but also fall in love with someone, it's not exclusive lol and that's person can help you to love yourself in your professor healing by being a good support (example, Katniss and Peeta from the Hunger Games). It's like they are portraying that Will can't love himself until he let go of Mike, I understand that they are making the concept of "I need to let go because this person clearly won't love me because he is straight" but in this context and this scene was so badly written especially because Will's storyline was so rushed and it's such a shame because he deserved so much better than that shitty coming out scene that was just done to basically say "Byler is death" it's ridiculous.

[hawkinsschoolcounselor]

They went from show to tell so fast. This isn't the only storyline to get that treatment, but it's made worse by the fact that they minimized it to the point that Will is suddenly "lol, oh well, guess I didn't really love him."

It's bad enough that they killed Byler without any real closure, but it's basically a hate crime that they had Robin be the one to do it.

[miwiheroes]

i really did think that the last shot of stranger things would be mike driving him and will away from hawkins and will finally looking outside a window and smiling with the wind in his hair

[dirtreed]

Bravebyers is cute in theory, but that’s not his Mike.
