#but luckily i won’t have to understand it because byler is endgame 🤷‍♀️

[hellinhawkins]

there is genuinely no reason that i can come up with as to why the duffers created a string of tension among mike and will other than the fact that they are building up a relationship, as you do for slow burn. if byler isn’t endgame, it would be a lot more than a queerbait. it simply wouldn’t make sense.

everyone’s said this before but they seriously could have given will a love interest two seasons ago and everyone would have been much more cool with it than they would be now. they are defining will and mike’s friendship and characters based on will’s love for mike. hell, even mileven is being defined by that at this point.

and there was absolutely no plausible reason as to why they’d do all this if byler isn’t canon. it’s more than just bad writing- we’d probably need a new name for it.

someone please explain to me why they made the airport hug so awkward and why they made byler fight in the rain like a frequent romance scene, and why they even made will in love with mike to start with if he’s only getting repeatedly beaten every season and then has to come to terms with the fact that his best friend doesn’t love him that way, because i truly don’t understand it.
