I still can’t believe this shot.
This is LITERALLY Jonathan looking through the mirror and seeing himself through Mike and Will. They were actually crazy for this.
They said that the scene at the pizza place where Jonathan comforts Will was added last minute. The point of making Jonathan aware of byler wasn’t to get someone to comfort Will.
The real point was to make the viewer look at byler and see jancy. Because Jonathan is hearing Will say “she commissioned it” and hearing himself say “he asked me to take you home”. He’s been in this situation. He knows that Will is hurting because he remembers the hurt he experienced himself.
Jonathan was looking through a mirror. Not glancing or turning behind him. He looked through a MIRROR.
THEY WERE SO INSANE FOR THIS
#byler#byler endgame#anti mileven#byers brothers stop making me sad challenge failed#i dont think ill ever be over this shot#it looks so good too#they really ate with this one#i could repeat the same things about this scene forever tbh#now i need to go scour tumblr for a really good analysis of this shot

by the way if you insult finn or noah’s physical appearance when making a statement against byler your opinion is immediately invalid
#i have seen way too many people calling both of them ugly and it’s disgusting#that’s never alright even if you hate the character.#it’s perfectly fine to not like byler but if your reasoning is that one of them is fucking ugly? well#then i guarantee no one cares#byler#stranger things#stranger things 5#will byers#mike wheeler#the duffer brothers#byler endgame#noah schnapp#finn wolfhard#hellinhawkins

wasteland baby, i’m in love, I’m in love with you
and i love too, that love soon might end,
be known in its aching, shown in the shaking,
lately of my wasteland, baby
day 1 of bylerween/ trapped in the upside down
inspired by @kidovna’s flicker gate byler artwork ✨
#bylerween2023#trapped in the UD#I recycled this byler kiss drawing from another one#if the byler kiss happens like this in s5 the duffer brothers should pay me a million pounds and all the stranger things merch in the world#they’re kissing on the sofa in mikes basement tee hee#call back to when they sat on that sofa in the crazy together scene. im so smart and sexy#flickergate#?!? could be cute and very symbolic#byler#will byers#mike wheeler#stranger things#stranger things art#mike wheeler art#byler art#will byers art

Steddie Upside-Down AU Part 96
Part 1 Part 95
Mom makes him go home when he starts dosing on Steve’s hospital bed. But it’s okay because she kisses Steve’s cheek before she leaves, and Eddie and Wayne stay parked by his side.
The connection’s easier now. It’s like all that time straining for Steve has snapped something into place. He can feel them all the time, a warm buzzing in his chest. He wonders if he runs hot now. If the warmth will diffuse through his whole being, make coats obsolete even in the dead of winter.
Hopper is waiting for them in the waiting room, El burrowed into his side. She looks wan, and tired, drooping into her extravagant coat, eyeliner running down her cheeks like she’s been crying. Something inside him twists when he looks at her.
Before he can untangle that knot of emotion, Hopper stands up, both hands slapping against his knees first the same way Mike’s dad does before he gets up from his recliner. “You ready to go?” he asks, not looking away from Mom.
When Will glances up, Mom’s smiling up at Hopper in a way he doesn’t want to think about. The adults talk quietly in front, leaving El to stumble tiredly along beside Will. She’s staring at the side of his face. Will can’t bring himself to look back.
“Steve,” she says, sounding the word out and making it longer like it still tastes foreign on her tongue. “He is okay?”
When Will gets up the courage to look over, her eyes are big and worried. He smiles at her helplessly. It’s almost funny how innocent she looks; like she’s a bunny dressed up in punk clothes. “He’ll be okay.”
She smiles, small and close lipped, but it still beams out of her like the sun. Will tilts his head to the side and tries to see what Mike sees in her. He wants to hide her in Castle Byers, build a fortress around her, and keep her away from all the lab people for the rest of her life.
Is that howMike felt, hiding her in his basement, giving her frozen eggos and keeping his mouth shut?
But then her lips thin and she looks forward again. The feelings vanishes. It’s just El, hia friend, despite how much of Mike’s attention she’d snapped up just by being herself.
“I’m glad,” she says, looking at Hopper’s broad back as she takes two steps for each one of his.
It’s quiet after that, the way it always is after; all of them too brittle and bruised and bone-deep tired for conversation.
Hopper’s truck rat-a tat-tats itself to life in the hospital parking lot. The radio croons out something quiet and thrumming until Hopper reaches over to shut it off.
El’s heads smushed into the window, vibrating against the pot-holed roads of Hawkins.
Will’s so tired he’s wide awake.
He watches the familiar buildings of Hawkins flicker by. It's been a long time since knowing his surroundings brought any comfort.
Monsters could live behind every door, every tree, every smiling face.
He’s not sure any of them will ever feel safe again.
Will closes his eyes, locking the scenery out so he can focus on the bundle of warmth in his chest. They’re still huddled together, two sparks merging in his chest.
The past couple days have been a necessary violation of Eddie’s private feelings. He’d bared them all with love confessions and grasping hands, trying to pull Steve back from the edge of immolation.
He’s not even sure Steve knows, hopes he does. Steve deserves to hold that love delicately between his palms and choose what to do with it.
He won’t crush it, even if it’s unreturned. He’ll hold it gently like he always does.
Will doesn’t realize he fell asleep, or that they’d arrived home until he’s in free-fall. It feels like one of those falling dreams where you wake up solidly in the middle of your bed, but this time he really is tumbling, only Jonathan’s arms keeping him from hitting the gravel.
“Are you okay?” he asks shakily as he pulls Will into his chest, holding him tight enough to hurt. “I’m so sorry.”
“Oh, sweetie,” Mom murmurs, wrapping them both up in her arms, chin landing solidly on Jonathan’s shoulder, sandwiching Will between their bodies. “Everyone’s fine, right Will?”
Will murmurs his affirmation, feeling groggy and confused in the light of day.
“I was with Nancy,” Jonathan whispers. “I was just with Nancy, and you were–I almost–”
“Shh,” Mom cuts him off, reaching up to cradle his face and smile up at him. Will barely catches the edge of his watering eyes from his restricted vantage point between them. “Everyone’s fine.”
“I should have been he–”
“Jonathan,” Mom interrupts again, sharper this time. “Everyone is fine. You deserve a normal life.”
“But Will–”
“I’m fine!” Will cuts in this time.
Jonathan pulls back, looking down at him with worried, droopy eyes. “And Steve? Mike said he was possessed.”
Will feels that bundle of warmth in his heart, lets it shine through his smile as he looks up at his brother. “He’ll be okay.” As Jonathan droops with relief, Will feels his smile turn cheeky. “Eddie will never let you forget that you were on a date while we were fighting monsters, though.”
Jonathan closes his eyes, pained while Mom laughs.
It’s not until they’re walking toward the front door that Will notices the lack of demo-dog bodies. There’s still puddles of black oil-slick blood, but everything else looks normal. Who covered their tracks? The lab? Hopper?
He settles down for the debrief, pillowing his head on Jonathan’s shoulder as Hopper’s even tones flit through his brain.
Maybe familiar places no longer hold any comfort, but Jonathan’s bony frame is enough to lull him into a peaceful sleep.

#steddie#steve harrington#eddie munson#will byers#steddie upsidedown au#my fic#Steve pov: I'm a wretch and a monster and everything is my fault#will pov: steve's so comforting :)#also Jonathan freaking out because he missed everything is something that is so fun to me. He's like. I'm a terrible brother!#Meanwhile Nancy only has low stakes in the whole thing. And she never got involved so by the time she knew to worry about Mike.#She already knew he was fine. so her main reaction is feeling left out.#Nancy is so fun in this AU because her inciting character incident (Barb's death) shapes so much of who she is#that we have like maybe one episode of characterization to work off of wrt what she was like before#anyway I'm sick so we'll see how much writing I can actually get done while feverish!

I adore this talented, wonderful kid
Joyce knows that Will is alive, but for a whole day Jonathan thinks that he has lost his little brother, that he has failed him. How many times does he cry in S1? Poor kid.
He deserves all the hugs in the world.
He always knows what his brother needs to hear, how to make him feel better, and loved.
He's so caring, and he always protects the people he loves
He knows how to apologize, and he sees what other people don't see.
"...sometimes... people don't really say what they're really thinking. But when you capture the right moment, it says more."
And he loves, with all his heart
#jonathan byers#jancy#will byers#nancy wheeler#byers brothers#jonwill#byers family#I don't talk enough about Jon#he's one of my favorites#the character I relate to the most#I need to make more post about him#there's a lot to say#stranger things

thinking about how will has probably come to terms that mike has chose el over him. and that he might never have the same friendship with mike as he once had and that he’s probably gonna be okay bc as long as mike is happy and el is happy, he’s fine with being in the background and no longer being the most important person in mike’s life. he’s come to terms that he won’t spend his life with mike, that they won’t play dnd and nintendo and whatever other games they like. and he’s also come to terms that there is no point in arguing with mike anymore about their friendship, he’s tried twice and was made out to be the bad guy and got yelled at. and so he won’t try anymore, he’ll take what he gets from mike, even if it’s just crumbles, even if the only reason mike keeps him around is so he can vent to him about his relationship problems. will won’t bother with asking mike to pick him, to ask mike why it came to this and why mike can’t seem to treat will the same way he does with lucas and dustin. he’s come to terms that he’s the only who’s the problem and who wouldn’t get his happy ending and he’s fine with it because as long as mike is happy with el then he’s happy too.
and isn’t that just sad.
#byler#will byers the boy with the worse luck#and that’s why i believe in byler bc no one the suffer brothers will let this poor boy suffer like this for 4 seasons straight#he’s getting the boy and the boy is mike#it doesn’t matter if you think mike isn’t good enough for will or that will deserves better than mike bc#will deserves to be with the boy he loves#will byers#mike wheeler

i have a soft spot for fics where billy sort of ends up adopting el and will alongside max. like, these are the kids that get dibs for rides in the camaro haha.
also im unfortunately not participating bc prev commitments but #harringrove for turkey is happening right now if yall want to donate to the earthquake relief funds for turkey & syria and get some art/fic back from harringrove fans! :) check out the tag if you're interested!!
#stranger things#stranger things fanart#billy hargrove#max mayfield#will byers#jane hopper#st eleven#eleven#eleven stranger things#obviously the ones where the party as a whole adopts billy are also very good#but i think it's cute when they end up getting split like this#it's precious when will asks billy for gay advice and maybe has a tiny crush on him#where billy and el bond over bad papas and containing anger and billy learning to find childish innocence again through her eyes#where max finds out about neil and stubbornly decides to get through to billy and when billy starts reaching back that's it.#theyre ride-or-die now.#i like those kinds of fics :') and steve gets the other half and then they co-parent together#billy's all right w the other kids too but whenever i interpret his relationships with lucas & mike#it always comes off more to me as 'these are the significant others of my kids so they are automatically on thin ice'#and with dustin it's always 'this is my boyfriend's little brother'#but will and el and max are billy's directly#i digress!#sometimes i dont post at all and then i post two things in a week! consistency who???

hot take but I don’t think that lucas or dustin (or anyone, for that matter, other than maybe robin) are going to see what’s going on between mike and will until it happens. they don’t suspect ANYTHING. when they actually get together everyone’s going to be shocked
#as much as i love the “max knew all along!” fics#well… she didn’t#when she got there mike was obsessing over two people: will and el#i’m sure she assumed it was because he just got will back and el just disappeared (of course she didn’t really know about el from the start#as for everyone else#they’ve always been like that.#mike and will since the beginning- always together#i don’t think they suspect anything. maybe they did once but i doubt they do now#i don’t believe el suspects anything#to dustin and lucas they’re not acting any differently than how they always do…#robin is the only one who would really notice anything honestly (which is why i’m excited to see her on screen with them)#and YES jonathan KNOWS but he DOES NOT THINK that mike likes will back.#i truly do think that no one has any idea what’s going on except for mike and will themselves#byler#stranger things#stranger things 5#will byers#mike wheeler#the duffer brothers#byler endgame

Older Mike and Will babysitting their niece and saying "she gets that from your side of the family" to each other anytime she displays certified weird girl behavior (which is often have u seen her parents)
#Mike: I want one Jonathan: for the low price of free you can have her Nancy: if you let my weirdo brother take our daughter i will divorce u#will holding the baby and watching the three of them go at it#Jonathan would counter with they can't afford a divorce btw#i really do think Jancy baby prompts Byler to adopt a kid#like in my head she's born late 1997 and they adopt in early 2000#I imagine she is obsessed with her cousin and that's when Nancy and Jonathan are like yea ok we can afford another baby#ANYWAYS#late night blorbo posting#stranger things#jancy#byler#will byers#mike wheeler
