“You just actively ignored me for three minutes” (fic by @campbyler)

byler fights are so entertaining because will actually has good arguments and calls mike out on his shit and then mike is just like oh yeah ? well i'm straight and your big beautiful sad eyes were killing my vibe so

[castlebyelers]

byler throughout the seasons 

[castlebyelers]

i don’t care about anything else because mike actually looked at will like this. like this isn’t something i made up in my head this is a REAL moment between byler

Wait… no, hang on a second… During his love confession, Will uses El to disguise his own feelings about Mike, right? But, I just rewatched the scene and…

Guys… I don’t think Will was the only one using El as a disguise here…

Can we talk about what a selfless character Will is? Always putting everyone else's need above his own. Not only was this trait shown in the van scene with Mike...but even in his actual 'coming out' moment with Jonathan. This moment was supposed to be all about Will. Jonathan saying (without saying) that even if Will is gay, it doesn't matter to him. He'll always love him, no matter what. And Will's response?

Ugh, so sweet. Even in the moment that was supposed to be about Will getting comforted, he still made sure Jonathan knew it went both ways.

Which, reminded me. This isn't the first time this happened. Back in S1, after Will got rescued, he ended up in the hospital. He had just been trapped in another dimension for a week, on the brink of death. And the first thing he says to Jonathan when he wakes up?

This world doesn't deserve Will Byers! My child, you are allowed to be selfish sometimes. Please...every once in a while, just think about yourself.

“He started again to pull at the loose string, anything to ground him. Anything to make him feel like he wasn’t floating out of his body and was also crashing through the floor. Hot tears he hadn’t noticed were flowing down his face and the world turned to static. He wished he wasn’t so familiar to this feeling of a million thoughts flowing in and out of his brain a million miles a minute. He didn’t even notice the boy running up the stairs, dashing towards the bed to grab him by the shoulders and try to help him up. The world was loud and full and cramped and hot and-

Mike felt a hand on his chest pressing softly into his sweater. He gasped and attempted a deep breath in through his nose and out through his mouth. His fuzzy vision met Will’s tearful gaze and he collapsed into his shoulder.”

Mike Wheeler has a panic attack due to all the shit going down in Hawkins and beautiful boy Will Byers comes to the rescue with undying affection and love.

hey guys i actually made an ao3 whhhhaaaatt but yeah i’m very happy rn. this is from my other more stranger things centirc account originally @castlebyelers so yeah enjoy and share it round ily

i would like to add that having mcnugget be endgame just follows a very toxic media trope in sci-fi of “born sexy yesterday” where guy gets with girl who barely understands anything about the world but for some reason surely understands love and relationships? as much as i love sci-fi, i really hate this trope because it’s sexist and misogynistic. it’s once again a reason why i and many other people think eleven deserves to be independent and just learn about the world herself instead of being fed everything through mike.

On Joyce Reporting Will Missing In S1:

I was rewatching s1, and I came to the scene where Joyce is telling Hopper that Will is missing, and I finally understood what’s going on in the scene.

She’s not telling Hopper that her son is sensitive and people call him gay to let Hop know he’s fragile and can’t protect himself.

She’s telling Hopper that her gay 12 year old is missing and she’s worried he’s been the victim of a hate crime

[castlebyelers]

just imagine if s5 is set during fall… will and mike all grown up, brown leaves and grey skies… there’s just something about this prospect that speaks to me on a personal level… maybe it’s because season 2 is my favorite
