#anyway . yeah i care abt the rain fight scene a normal amount why do u ask?

[bylertruther]

what's the worst take on byler you've ever seen? mine is that byler can't happen because jancy is already together and so it would be incest

omg mine isn't saucy </3 anything that outsiders say is Irrelevant to me, so this one comes from within: that mike was being homophobic to will in the rain fight. my brain is mush rn so allow me to explain in these rambly bullet points even tho u didn't ask

will could survive a nuclear bomb if he had to. he's THE final girl. if mike was a homophobe, do you really think that will would want to tell him that not only is he gay, but he's also in love with him? be serious.

mike literally defended will against homophobes and stormed off after ted said some out of pocket shit. he also then told will that the past year was weird because he felt like he'd lost him and that hawkins hasn't been the same without him even with the other party members there. also, mike is always trying to make people feel better for their differences and paints them as a super power. how does any of that make sense if mike is a homophobe?

if mike was a homophobe, why would will feel that mike makes him feel better for being different and like he isn't a mistake at all? why would he bring up playing dnd with him for the rest of his life if that's how mike had meant it and thus how will took it?

mike isn't homophobic he just isn't that's antithetical to who he is and who he has been in every single fucking season mike is not a bigot he's against The Man he never lets someone talk down about themselves he's defended will when he's being called slurs even though that could easily put a target on his back and not even dustin or lucas did that like. who the FUCK are you even talking about when you say some shit like that because i KNOW it's not michael wheeler from stranger things deadass idk what show those people are watching because it sure as hell ain't this one i tell u what 🤨

also mike Saying The Unspeakable is not him being homophobic. will is gay. people know that / suspect that / hear it, but they're not allowed to say it. mike, who isn't exactly thinking straight rn bc his bestie just blew right the fuck up at him and is blaming everything on him, just blurted out the truth in the most blunt way possible and then immediately cooled down because HE DIDN'T WANT TO FIGHT WITH WILL. HE WAS TRYING TO DEESCALATE AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY. HE EVEN WENT AFTER HIM IN THE POURING RAIN ON HIS DAMN BICYCLE. LIKE. SHUT THE FUCK UP MIKE WASN'T WRONG AND HE WASN'T BEING HOMOPHOBIC AND HE WOULD NEVER HATE WILL FOR THAT SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
