Jane Hopper, my love, I bid you farewell

Byler kiss that would have saved the world <3

Bonus: Mike without the hat :>

Also I have a bunch of close ups under the cut <33

I don't think many people will agree on this, but for me Will has very strong grey/demiromantic vibes and I also think this part of him is deeply connected to how romantic he's. I am myself greysexual and dream of some beautiful romance while experiencing almost no attraction

I related a lot to Will in s3 bc I've never fallen in love. And I may be just projecting, but I just can't imagine Will in romantic relationships outside of byler/partycule (no shade to shippers btw) just bc no one else can give him such a deep connection behind the romance

And I think Will really craves such a connection, long story that makes a relationship mean so much more and feel like a pinnacle of romance

My fav font of Will and epilogue bf will forever be just Will realising that he could never give him what Will craves, not like Mike could

Mike post-epilogue

[sticklystag]

they really could have showed us will being an art major in college instead of that lackluster implied epilogue boyfriend who isn’t even real. did we forget he’s an artist? or did they just shove that epilogue bf to show how they “care” so much about gay people?

[tapochekrina]

People acting like bylers are ridiculous, but in fact it's Duffers who are a fucking joke, these losers decided to abandon beautiful byler connection and Will's feelings together with actually interesting parallels to end up with that "Will you're in the shot" mileven mv

[tapochekrina]

I didn't want to be mean, but cutgate is stupid as hell and you would realise that if you thought about the things they wrote about more than 5 seconds. How the fuck would MIKE goto Camazotz with El? And why would Will be there when he clearly was held hostage in different memory. How would "Will Max Robin Holly" team up even go, if, once again, ROVIN CAN'T GO INTO THE VECNA'S MIND, LIKE MIKE

Maybe I would believe it if it was just about wiseone scenes, but half of the other stuff in that document is just impossible and doesn't fit ANYWHERE in the story

They definitely cut some things, but not to that extent and y'all need to realise that leakers from twitter is not a reliable source

[portraitofalonelydyke]

anyway I’ve been fighting for my life on tiktok trying to shut down this stupid stranger things “cutgate” and I can’t prove it but I’m literally convinced it’s being pushed by bots or something because the videos keep popping up and they’re all the same. Thank god reddit isn’t entertaining it at all and tumblr doesn’t seem to be too bad

But I promise you there is never, in any fandom, a secret “good” version that’s being held from you. you need to come to terms with the fact that writers can disappoint us. It’s not some grand conspiracy, sometimes it just sucks to be in fandom and get a crappy product. But please don’t spread lies people made up on twitter about it okay? that’s how they divide and kill off the fandom.

We dont need a ship to be canon to have a fandom, we just need each other. And if we get angry and convinced of conspiracy theories we all lose. Please shut this down when you see it and don’t encourage it.

[tapochekrina]

Tbh, I never imagined I would be this disappointed by the show, even when I thought about the possibility of mileven endgame, I always thought that maybe they would at least make it in a way I would accept, bc the show has been so good and I thought they would handle Will great anyway, but this... It just doesn't feel like the same show from all the previous seasons

[tapochekrina]

I can see the painting lie => "it was a crush I'm already over" lie tether, but I'm not even hoping for anything anymore

But what I mean is, if according to Duffers, Mike realised he's Will's crush during the coming out scene, then maybe he can finally connect the dots about the painting being WILL'S FEELINGS and in turn it helps him realise, that no it wasn't just a crush and Will was just trying to rip off the band aid

[tapochekrina]

Can this all be a huge fucking joke and showrunners will come here tomorrow like "haha production went to shit we lost half the footage from the episodes, give us a couple of days" and then we'll get a normal fucking vol2, specifically episodes 6 and 7

[monsterkill--er]

The "Coming Out" Scene I Would Have Accepted:

Versus What The Duffers Gave Us:

[twinkle-littlestar-deactivated2]

And I will reinstate I don't want to be preemptively upset or angry and say there's no time to deal with Mike and El + supernatural plot + Mike coming to terms with his queerness and that byler is an afterthought.

I don't like to make this kind of judgment, I truly don't. This could be the case, but tbh I wasn't expecting for the execution to be perfect. But at the same time I can think of a world where Mike already has internalized a lot but didn't say it, or where even he connects to the lore of the UD.

You can judge me for being hopeful they can salvage this, but I'll prefer to operate under that belief.

[tapochekrina]

Literally me, I decide to be hopeful just bc I can

So guys, I understand why you guys feel that way about Vol 2 but I have a theory;

Everything about the coming out scene was more than fine; except for when Will says Mike is his "Tammy Thompson"

BUT Here's the catch; that's because Will doesn't know whether Mike reciprocates it towards him and obviously he feels more empowered by Robin's speech and on top of that the coming out scene parallels when Robin was talking to Will in Shock Jock saying she only got together with Vickie when SHE OPENED UP ABOUT HERSELF.

I'd personally like to think Mike is paralleling with Vickie and Robin with Will.

Anyways my point is not to dwell over this, and we still have the finale left so we really don't know what's gonna happen until this series concludes so let's just process it.
