#Mike x Will

Cleradin Byler

This piece took a really long time! I think around 18 hours according to procreate. I’ve been wanting to draw DnD Byler for ever, so I tried my best to go all out!

I did my best to add a lot of detail and texture to their clothes which was pretty out of my comfort zone, here’s some very slight color variations as well :)

I don’t care whether people ship Byler or not, but it’s frustrating when they deny that Will and Mike are best friends.

You’ve watched all four seasons where their special connection was highlighted and contrasted with other friendships in terms of intensity, especially in S4, where they explicitly called each other best friends. Yet, you still deny it because at the start of the show, Dustin assumed Lucas was Mike’s best friend, which Mike immediately refuted by saying it was all three of them.

Just admit you’re so scared of romantic Byler that even their friendship bothers you. 😂

That moment when the eldritch monster haunting your city hits you with the gay thoughts instead of the horrific visions 🤕 (I just wanted to draw byler as stock images)

Victoria draws Byler angst!?! Unheard of.

I seriously have never drawn Byler angst before so this was a bit of a challenge for me 😭

so basically Will is being vecnaed (obvi) but he doesn’t have his headphones and mike is frantically trying to save him but nothing is working and when Will starts floating he kisses him out of desperation. I’m thinking this is after they’ve had a confession of some sort because I don’t think Mike would kiss Will without knowing it was okay. But the whole art piece is up to y’all’s interpretation!

... 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!!
