#according to milkvans and Reddit

[chirpsythismorning]

In the past, when Finn has been asked about ships he’s always said something along these lines, specifically with byler. He was asked about shipping byler in a live zoom event with fans for st promo during COVID hiatus before s4 filming restarted, and he was just like yeah I think ppl should ship what they want to ship and idk idk idk we’ll have to see what the Duffer’s do 🤷🏻‍♂️

And when it comes to the Edward/Bella comment, it just makes it obvious he hates the concept of shipping, seeing as that’s the most like well known shipping occurrence in media in recent times. Finn saying that had less to do with how he feels about Mike and Will as a pairing in the narrative genuinely, and more to do with him not wanting to get caught up in ship wars with buzzwords of one ship’s name vs. another. Idk what it is, but male lead actors playing love interests always tend to hate shipping as a concept? Like it’s a right of passage practically. It probably stems from the toxic side of the fandom experience too? Where like fans made him and Millie’s relationship really uncomfortable at times when they were so young, and how that unfortunately interferes with there personal lives at times. A lot of that behavior stems from shipping, so I can see why him and a lot of young actors in those positions feel at edge at times when ppl put them on the spot.

Im sure Finn would just rather people phrase it like, do you want Will and Mike to end up together as opposed to do you ship byler? But also the former would be a lot harder for him to answer, so at least with the ship name he can dance around his discomfort about shipping as a phenomena and then never really answer the question beyond just telling fans to wait and find out🤣

I’m worried with what Finn just said and now the milkvans are gonna be after us. He said he doesn’t ship Byler and is not a shipper. I think he’s sick of us and thinks we’re delusional but doesn’t wanna come out and say it. He compared us to twilight which makes me sad 😔

damm 3rd anon today

but i think just cause an actor doesn’t ship smth doesnt mean anything for the ship itself,although this comment could make maloobans attack us more and use this as weak ammo. just remember the “it’ll pay off” comment about the van scene
