#MIKE WHEELER I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE

[love-byers]

reminder that will byers said the equivalent of "yes i did truly think we were never going to date girls and spend the rest of our lives together doing what we love and i thought that's what you wanted too but clearly i was wrong"

and mike reacted like this:

this his not just sad regret this is YEARNING. the realization that will actually DOES want that has made him not want to let go.

Okay, hang on, can we talk about the fact that in the script for the Snow Ball they had it so instead of "Every Breath You Take" by The Police plays, "In The Air Tonight" by Phil Collins plays. You know, the song Phil Collins wrote after his divorce to express his anger, frustration, and sorrow. Decidely not a love song. You couldn't even play that off as it being about the Mind Flayer like with "Every Breath You Take." The song is straight up about a couple that's split up and ended on bad terms. Phil Collins literally says in the song that his ex-wife lied to him, telling her to wipe the smile off her face and stop putting up an act essentially.

Claim your "I was a Byler before s5 came out" here

[lovisus]

I’ve been kinda into them lately.

Shoutout to @smoonsnoom (moonsooms) on Ao3 for providing me with the most delish and fluffy Byler bedtime stories. You’re the real mvp🩵

mike wheeler has no fucking clue that will byers is gay. so EVERY SINGLE TIME he pulls shit like the airport hug or inmfydlg, or whatever, it is PROJECTING. that's just the facts, i fear.

because he was pissed in season 2 when he thought will liked max. and he has no real reason to think will isn't straight, besides the bullying, but you tell me that mike gives a shit about that (he doesn't)

go back to season one and find the tears in his eyes as troy makes a gay joke about will at the memorial ceremony.

The way Mike looks at El 😻😻

You can tell he truly does love her and they are going to be together forever 🥰😻

[jsmncrscnt]

such beautiful frames

also... [gay pining intensifies]

[bloodycreaturee]

yall ever think about how mike probably felt like he was getting left behind by his friends because they were interested in girls (except for will but he didn't know that) and that's why he attached himself so much to el?

did you agree to this? her. joining our party. she's ruining the best night of the year (about max)

sound familiar?

you're ruining our party... you're destroying everything and for what? so you can swap spit with some stupid girl (about el)

it's not my fault you don't like girls

projection

and then he does the face he does when he's gonna lie about something

and he says

i mean what'd you think, really? that we were never gonna get girlfriends? that we were just gonna sit in my basement and play games for the rest of our lives?

PROJECTING AGAIN because mike, who even mentioned that? you've thought about it, haven't you, michael?

he was fully expecting will to say no. but NO will says YEAH I GUESS I DID. I REALLY DID

and mike is fucking flabbergasted because that's what he wants too, but he didn't let himself have it because he thought he wasn't allowed to want that

and that's the look of mike realizing he was wrong and he fucked up

[clericsandpaladins]

Will Byers you say... Are you sure?

I beg to differ on that....
