Alright... The saga of "how would friendships look like if they all behaved like Mike behaves with Will" continues...

Now imagine 5min later Nancy shows up at the door as a surprise visit after months of being presumably dead xd

I was fighting with all my willpower not to add "Brochacho..." to that last frame

Vol.1 Dustin & Steve Vol.2 Dustin & Lucas Vol.3 Hopper & Dmitri (Enzo)

There's still Dustin & Eddie left... poor Dustin has so many great friends and I'm just destroying it all, I'm sorry... Let me know if I should wrap this whole thing up with it to have a full set :) Not sure with what scene yet, but we'll figure it out

Sneak Peak ?

what was actually going on in mike's head during the van scene

[bkdk-bylerthings]

Mike Wheeler is a Gay mess

MY THOUGHTS ON REPRESENTATION/SYMBOLISM ABOUT THAT AWKWARD KISS SCENE AT THE END OF SEASON 3

As we all know Mike Wheeler did not kiss El back, he stood there with his eyes open, arms at his side and then is left there looking more confused then ever.

Want I want to look at in the scene is the Closet and Bear

Let’s talk about the Closet first:

El and Mike are standing infront of the closet, which I find really interesting for them to be placed there.

First we have El, not being able to use her powers to reach the teddy bear so Mike steps and grabs it for her.

Right, he’s the one to reach into the closet. Which now could be the beginning of something, that something of him taking a step into the closet. If you understand what I’m saying here.

…

Then after the awkward kiss, El walks away, leaving Mike near the closest, making no steps to move at all.

He realized he didn’t like that kiss, now questioning something about himself.

So since he didn’t move my point is that he’s now in the closet— and backing that up is what I said before of him reaching into the closet, grabbing what was in the closet.

For that - he doesn’t love El romantically and is starting to realize he has feelings for someone else…

Now to add to all that - The representation of the Teddy bear:

I think the bear could represent Mike’s love and for who he thinks he loves (cough cough El)

As we know El couldn’t reach the bear in the first place bc she wasn’t tall enough, so tries with her powers— this represents and foreshadowing season 4 of her trying to reach (in this case) for Mike’s love for her.

Since she couldn’t reach it, Mike does. Mike hands her his love or this case his actually love of Will, since this bear came from the closet. He is able to reach into the closet bc that is where his Love lies, not El, bc he doesn’t love her like that and El can’t make Mike love her, she can’t force him like she tried to force the bear down—

—like in season 4, questioning Mike if he still loves her.

“But you don’t love me anymore?”

To put it as simply as I can:

The bear represents Mike’s love but a love he put into the wrong hands bc actually he (for the time being) should have left it where it was. His love for Will is in the closet, his feelings for Will are hidden away… for now. He doesn’t quite understand what to do with this thing called Love so he gives it to El while he shouldn’t be.

And so after he stands there confused, he realizes ‘I gave my love to the wrong person’ leaving him standing next to the closet after that realization. He’s almost, confused, sad, in the dark now about his feelings since there is no more light coming from the closet.

I don’t think this is truly what the show wants you to get at here, I just love reaching, and over analyzing things bc it’s fun.

hyunseok sketch for the soul

why exactly would will being rejected by mike in s5 be a good ending for will?

awesome!! gay boy who thinks hes undeserving of love actually is undeserving of love!! how crazy!!

and do not even talk to me about will dating that random ass jock none of us know anything about

no matter what you say will ending up with anyone who isnt mike is a shitty ending for will (and mike as well if you could believe something sooooo crazy)

anywayssss

s5 is literally all about will in what world would he not get a happy ending thats perfectly made for him

[koobyers]

"mike isn't in love with will" MY ASS.

mind you he has NEVER looked at el like that. wanna know why? he's not in love with her. sure, he loves her, but in a platonic way. will on the other hand? that boy is GONE

[doctorsiren]

thinking about Phoenix Fulwright….😳

[udkmehahaha]

im sorry this had me dying laughing i had to share it with you guys. (someone made a post about mike and wills friendship and this was a comment under it)

[shushbyers]

“why cant two boys just be friends anymore😢😢😢😢😢?”

ONE OF THEM CANONICALLY WANTS TO BE MORE THAN JUST BEST FRIENDS ARE YOU SERIOUS RN💔

“b-b-b-but byler just doesnt make any sense? why do people ship them?”

ONE OF THEM IS CANONICALLY INLOVE WITH THE OTHER????

“byler would be unrealistic and fan service..”

“unrealistic” in a show about alternate dimensions and monsters🥀 and fan service is giving the fans what they want. im almost 100% positive the ga wants mileven, not byler

it is a COMPLETELY valid ship. if will was a girl, the ga would eat byler UP.

the whole “childhood bestfriends to lovers” is an EXTREMELY well liked trope in fandoms. why not this time?? because both of them are boys

[somesaintiam]

Me and Micheal !!!!!!

miwi drawing i forgot to post cuz ive been busy with bylerween

[username0204]

"Jeez why you always have to make everything gay? Can't two dudes just be friends?"

Idk, can't they?

Meanwhile those two disasters...

They could just be friends... if they were just friends... but they aren't just friends xd If they could they would, I don't make the rules

Btw that's only 1 out of 9 male friendships (10 if you count Mike and Eddie, 11 if you count Hopper and Dmitri)... Doesn't sound crazy to me tbh

*I'm talking strictly canon just fyi **the fact that I had to search like crazy for the gifs for the first part and narrow down gifs for the second says a lot xd
