now that it's been confirmed that mike and will's relationship was always supposed to have romantic undertones this scene hits so much harder

[pixidivine]

I will start crying

This. This. This is adorable I can’t do this

Hihihihihihi

[pixidivine]

I KNOW WE ALREADY KNOW THAT BUT STILL AAAAAAAAHHHHH

[pixidivine]

I agree with this, I’m a s2 is the best believer

(apparently) unpopular opinion: season 3 is not the best and is actually the worst season of stranger things

season 2 is actually the best season with season 1 as a close second

[pixidivine]

Now.. if they really are sharing clothes I will kms :D

The FIRST thing we see of Mike and El in a relationship is a way they're incompatible (Byler analysis)

In the first Hawkins scene of s3, Mike is expressing his JOY and DORKINESS singing a cheesy 80s song. And El doesn't like it.

Then they kiss anyway:

In the first moments of Mike and El being an established couple, we're shown a way they don't get along. THIS is what the writers chose to emphasize!

Yes, in s1 Mike sheltered El, and yes El saved Mike's life. But as they delve into an actual romantic relationship, the writers make clear that it's their hormones and curiosity about kissing and sex that drive it. There is a disconnect as soon as their hands and lips stop touching.

Meanwhile, there's another person who wouldn't mind this side of Mike at all:

I know I touched on this earlier, but rewatching s3 I realized that THIS is what the writers chose as the FIRST thing to show us about Mike and El as a couple.

And it turns out to be the HIGH POINT of their relationship for the whole series. They had a youthful infatuation that distracted them from real-life troubles (even distracting them from doing anything to help their friends carry Dustin's Cerebro up the hill, like come on!). That kind of relationship doesn't always survive getting older and maturing.

s4 drives home that Mike is awkward and not himself around El. NOTHING El likes -- burritos for breakfast, roller skating, milkshake flavors -- is anything he likes. They're as clashing on him as the "California" clothing he made himself wear to suit El's ideal picture of a happy "sunny" life in California. And we find out in the van in 4x8 that he feels insecure around El: he's "just some random nerd."

Meanwhile, Mike and Will have long known and loved each other for who they are. They have such an intense affinity that they constantly want to know (and already feel) the other one's feelings. When push comes to shove, each puts the other's interests above his own. They can be themselves around each other; they're "a team." They don't break each other down; they build each other up.

And, as their shared love for nerdy things and singing shows, THEY'RE SOULMATES.

We WILL get to see Mike and Will as singing dorks in s5, won't we? RIGHT, Duffer Brothers? ;)

this scene is completely insane to me like 😭 the blatant lip stare 😭 the tension as he whispers 😭 also why did he even whisper in the first place 😭 he literally had to say it twice because he was too focused on will 😭 bro was like in a trance or something

[pixidivine]

thank u amy parris for your service to the will byers society

[pixidivine]

I’m good, I’m fine and I’m okay

"Especially if you’ve got the color combo that he often wears which is red blue and tan"

Blue…haha…

Will’s outfit being only Blue and yellow is everything to me oh my god

[pixidivine]

I’m okay I’m okay I’m okay I’m okay I’m okay-
