I love this 😭

36 years later, 2022

Extra doodle and headcanon:

Been thinking about Mike and Will getting married on impulse in 2021 because when they wanted to get married during their 20s, they couldn’t, and by the time it got decriminalised, they just didn’t care enough. They were basically married anyway. But on Will’s 50th birthday, he just looks at Mike, who cooked him an elaborate birthday dinner and goes “I want to be married to you.” And Mike (being Mike) immediately says “Let’s do it. Next week.” And the rest is history.

In “Lucas on the Line”, there’s a chapter that happens right after the Christmas holidays, in January 1986. This is roughly 2-3 months before the events of s4.

Lucas goes to school and notices that Mike seems unusually cheerful & in a good mood.

(unlike his constantly mopey self ever since Will & El left for California).

However, this is only a momentary passing mention in the book, and soon enough Lucas returns to his own thoughts & worries (which, if you’ve read the book, were pretty serious at that moment tbf).

The fact that they included this information was 100% intentional and it has to mean something.

We need to find out what on earth happened between Mike & Will during the Christmas holidays.

It’s actually a pretty weird/ suspicious topic— because, as you all know, in the last s3 episode, Mike told El that she & Will could “visit for Christmas.”

But apparently that never happened??? Because at Rink-O-Mania, Will tells Mike “it’s been a year!” (which we know was actually only 6 months but anyways). So… I guess this has to mean they really didn’t see each other during that entire time, no?

... DID KAREN LISTEN IN ON BYLER'S CALLS? Okay so hear me out

HER SIDE EYE HERE AT TED'S COMMENT ... like, she knows something. i doubt she knows about Byler per se but she knows something we don't know or at least suspects something. Like she did in S1 before the Wheelers learned about El.

WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED DURING THOSE PHONE CALLS? one thing Karen and i have in common is that we're both nosey af i need to know what the heck those two talked about. bc i understand this moment:

was when they both had butterflies for the first time / established that 'mutual understanding' thing they got going on, but i've always felt that something meaningful may have happened during those phone calls to prompt Will to draw that painting. So i get the feeling those phone calls matter for further context.

circling back to Karen, Mike telling Karen "how many times?" literally makes it canon that this moment in S3 was NOT the first time Karen listens in on HIS phone calls specifically.

so i do think this either means Karen having listened in on their phone calls will be brought up in s5 for some reason involving exposition, or we will literally hear their phone calls .... through a recording.

During a moment of action / when something else is going on. Just LOVE the theme of people listening in on private phone conversations, huh? And guess what scene comes RIGHT AFTER THIS ONE? Yup. MIKE ARRIVING AT CALIFORNIA.

We know phones / phone calls have been lightly associated to Byler especially in S4 but now let me introduce to you the idea of them being SPIED ON while having those phone calls, by Karen (intentionally) AND Hawkins Lab/military people (by chance/coincidence)

this is right now my favorite theory i have came up with, bc honestly it is SO much fun finding clues about it. And i feel like whatever conversation they had will be relevant somehow. and this all might be a reach but a part of me feels like i am onto something. perhaps we will have a karen/mike parallel to nancy's conversation with her in s3.

I'll keep updating this if I find more evidence of Karen spying on their phone calls but if anyone else has anything to add that I might've missed I'd greatly appreciate it!!

This clip isn't talked about enough guys, it's sooo telling 😂

Noah at German Stranger Con:

"What were your favourite moments with Finn on set?"

Noah: I guess you mean from this new season? I guess I can't tell you...

"From the other seasons?"

Noah: I mean, what I realize actually is that me and Finn... I think I have spent the most time with ....[hesitates]... Finn ... throughout the course of....[notices that he is about to spill something]...this....uhh sorry, well I try not to say anything for season 5....

but in other seasons....

what was the question again ? 😂

Yeahhhh... Byler endgame 👏🏼😅

Noah is trying so hard to not spill anything. Why would he try so hard if there was nothing to spill?!
