#and they were so respectful about it shoutout to normal straight mlvn shippers i wish there were more of you

Sorry if i say this but only bylers are saying that the monologue is fake. You can it was cringe but i wasn’t fake at all,you are reading too much into things and no i’m not saying this to be mean. A casual viewer doesn’t see the things that bylers see,so even if in season 5 Mike randomly loves Will it would confuse tha ga for sure. Sorry for the honestly.

when volume 2 first came out, the second he said “i love you” i thought byler was done. but i was honestly more confused than sad because one scene does not take away everything else that pointed at byler endgame.

then i read this anon that was sent to @beepboop358 and it made me start to think about the monologue differently. they said that they were a mlvn shipper and have always wanted them to be endgame but that monologue actually made them believe that byler will be endgame. this coming from a straight person and a huge mlvn shipper was so beyond interesting to me. they said that they were surprised that we were all sad and giving up on byler because in their eyes it looked like the complete opposite and byler is the direction theyre going in.

ive also seen some viral tweets like this one criticizing milven post volume 2 but theyre not a byler shipper. this has over a hundred thousand likes and in their response saying theyre not a byler fan a lot of the replies are people not even knowing what byler is, so most of these likes arent byler shippers.

theres also netflix’s social media. this video is making fun of mike not being able to say he loves el and i see ZERO comments about mike being gay or about byler but theyre all still in agreement that he doesnt love her. some examples:

in my personal experience with this show, pretty much all my friends watch it but i only have two friends that are super into it and who i share all my byler theories with. the others are causal viewers and they also were pretty thrown off by the monologue because it looked like they were done for. someone i know even said that they thought el was gonna try to break up with mike at the pizza place when she said “i missed you” and this is coming from a straight person who i dont think has ever even considered that mike could be queer.

so no i disagree. i think a lot of the general audience were thrown off by the monologue. maybe it didnt convince them that byler was endgame the way it did with that anon, but i think a lot of them were confused at why mike wouldnt say he loved her earlier when she was sobbing in front of him because he cant even write it down, only to later claim that he apparently has loved her since day one. and i think that was the intended reaction.
