My video "A LAWYER'S EVIDENCE that Mike and Will become a romantic pair in Stranger Things" is out!

Many of you have followed me ( @teambyler ) or read my essays analyzing Byler (I've linked some of the most-shared ones below). I am actually also a LAWYER who has a YouTube channel called RONALD OFF THE RECORD, and I just released my big video on Byler! (I also have another YouTube channel with 45K subscribers that I mention in the video)

I'm prepared to put my professional reputation as a lawyer on the line to comment on a piece of science fiction, because goddammit this is important to me! It is not "delusional" to think Will and Mike will become a couple, and there is nothing wrong with you if want it to happen! This is a video essay I've been planning for at least SIX MONTHS, and I put a lot of work into it. Please share, and please leave comments. Enjoy! =D

0:00 Why this video 1:38 Hate for Byler on the internet 10:16 Case for Mileven 15:21 Case for Byler: Starting premises 17:56 If Will were a girl… 25:30 The evidence! 29:05 EXHIBIT A: The Snow Ball 31:34 B: Mike's reactions to El and Will being upset 34:21 C: Season 3 ending montage 39:16 D: Airport reunion 47:57 E: Rink-O-Mania argument 51:35 F: Heteronormativity, audience expectations 58:32 G: Throwing away the letter 1:00:01 H: 2nd heart-to-heart scene 1:05:07 I: Mike can't say he loves El 1:12:50 J: Platonic reunion 1:14:35 K: Will's role convincing Mike to say "I love you" 1:19:31 L: Effect of the "love confession" on El 1:39:01 M: The Painting Lie 1:42:28 Honorable mentions 1:44:33 Non-diegetic evidence 2:00:29 Actor statements 2:10:12 NOT how you write an unrequited love story 2:15:46 Why Byler SHOULD happen (queerbaiting, etc.) 2:28:01 A more powerful story 2:35:22 A personal note

I'm now making this my new pinned post, so I'll list a few of my posts here for people to check out.

Some other @teambyler posts:

Mike was saying "I love you" to Will

Questions to ask if ever you have Byler doubt

How the Duffers have set Will up to have a happy ending in Season 5

The most heartbreaking way Byler can culminate (and how I predict it will) (I know this is less likely than an "escape from Camazotz" possession scenario, but I still want this to happen =D )

So the gift Powder received from Ekko was a necklace with a blue peony.

And you know me from my Vi and Caitlyn post so of course I'll look up what the flower language of that means and it's the following:

And if you look closely, you can see the profile faces of Ekko and Powder in between the petals

In this reality, the two can't be together, as he wasn't HER Ekko. But Powder still means the world to him.

Do you think we’re soulmates in another universe?

I guess the real glorious evolution was the homoerotic yearning we made along the way
