Drop everything now

Meet me in the pouring rain

Kiss me on the sidewalk

Take away the pain

✨'Cause I see sparks fly, whenever you smile✨

The rain fight is actually the most romantically coded scene in the whole show like the romantic tension…

Mike running after, their facial expressions, dialogue, and the aftermath is all REALLY romantic.

More and more, I think the miscommunication between Mike and Will in S4 is caused by the rain fight in S3 and the elephant in the room that was left unaddressed.

Will keeps trying to avoid having that conversation again in fear of getting to the heart of the issue and making the rift between them even deeper.

Meanwhile, Mike keeps trying in various ways to restart that conversation, to repair the rift by getting to the heart of the issue and bring them closer together.

“what do i say to convince you that i need you too?”

[nowmemoriees]

In the rain fight scene, Mike says "I'm not trying to be a jerk", but the spanish subtitles say no quiero lastimarte, which means I don't want to hurt you.🥺

More byler and heartstopper

absolutely insane that mike literally p a n i c k e d when will was like "well what about us?" because will wasn't even really making things gay he was honest to god just inquiring about the state of their estranged friendship and wondering why mike didn't make time to talk to him when they're supposed to be best friends but MIKE was the one having an aneurysm like "🏳️‍🌈⁉️ W H AT!!"

“WE'RE FRIENDS” “i know mike” “WE'RE!!! F R I E N D S!!” “right so why don't you call me — ” “I HAVE A GIRLFRIEND” “… that in no way answers my question"

I'm not the same without you.

🌧️But I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain 🌧️

[byleriscanon713by]

Rain kiss or flickergate kiss? :)

Oh man…

I think a rain kiss would be a little cliche but then again I still don’t understand flickergate fully. However if I understand the flicker gate concept right, I think it would be really really beautiful to see on the screen. I think it would be extremely cinematic. I think the rain kiss would be possible but it would feel a little forced.

I just want them to kiss though idc where :)

hello

here are byler wips i will never finish i figured i might just show y’all then

yup!

i heard that Finn was supposed to say “it’s not my fault you don’t like girls yet”, but the “yet” isn’t there in the Final Cut. Idk if it changes your views but what do you think about that?

because i feel like it could make sense that Mike would notice that will hasn’t been interested in anyone yet if he had said “yet” but because he didn’t, idk, I feel it’s weird, so that’s probably why I lean more towards projection.

But I understand your views and tbh, you make a lot of sense too.

I have heard that too. I think they changed that to imply to the audience that Will was never going to like girls. It's not a "yet" thing for him. It's a never did, never will thing for him. I am glad they left the yet out. I think it's better writing.

Idk. I still am a bi mike truther so I always look at this as Mike almost being angry with Will for not "liking girls" I don't see it as a full on projection on his part because he, in fact, has liked El for quite some time at this point. He's rubbing that fact in Will's face throughout the entirety of season 3. And I do think Mike meant it when he said she was pretty. I think he loves her. I just think, in the end, he is not in love with her. He is in love with Will, and that's why he's so obsessed with being with El. If he's with her--he's not with Will. It's safe and it's not like he doesn't like it right? He likes girls. El is pretty, she's a superhero, she likes to kiss him and read comic books etc. Why would he need Will if he has all that? (He's delusional, obviously.)

But yeah. I see this more as a lashing out, it's supposed to hit Will where it hurts, rub the fact that that's not happening for him in just a little bit more because Will is calling him out for treating him like shit, and he's letting his jealousy of El plainly show.

It's to double down, subconsciously i think, in an effort to make Will feel Other. It's him shoving his own (not fully realized imo), feelings he has for Will down deep. It's essentially a projection in the fact that yes, it is a representation of Mike's repression and an attack on Will to shine the light away from himself and his feelings/inclinations and spotlight Will's instead. It's cruel in a way only a best friend/lover can be cruel.

So again, he is partially projecting here, I just think it's so much more complicated than that, and I get a little sad this scene has been boiled down by a lot of bylers as simply "mike is projecting cause he's gayyyy" thing. when in reality, there's 1,000 more layers that are equally interesting to explore!
