[strawberrybyers]

the outfit parallels to season 1 are going to put me in a god damn coma,, if you hear nervous laughing sorry that’s just me because WHAT THE FUCK

[starsarehere]

el isn't in her plaid in the last shot of st, millie said it's feminine and very heroic, she's standing alone not with hopper her dad or with mike "her bf" but alone, we already saw el asserting her identity with brenner and still people want the already doomed ship to get married

Posting this cuz it’s mid night

Mileven breakup forshadowing since episode fucking one of season 4

Like the flowers that Mike got you??

Okay I'm bot crazy i swear, but listen.

Spring flowers = Mike

soo it would be...

"At first, I missed Mike." (SEASON 5 FORSHADOWINGG YES)

AND THIS IS HER INDEPENDENT ERA FORSHADOWING

[averageelliot]

unpopular opinion: stranger things season 3 is the most disgusting and terrifying season

[byersandhighers]

Be glad Mike and El could only communicate through letters that took weeks to send and receive, season 4 long distance coulda been like this, which although infinitely funnier, would have made everyone involved lose their minds at a much more rapid speed

[kissboybyler]

we need to be fed so much elmax in s5, i wont survive if they don’t give us more of them :(

[stranger-theory]

as i was researching Born Sexy Yesterday for my analysis to prove Mike and El follow that trope i came across an article explaining it well but at the very end they cited Mike and El from Stranger Things as an example among a few others and i just thought you guys should know

[hotchocolatebeforebed]

the infantilisation of el needs to be studied.

el is not this baby, she uses violence as a way to deal with things and often cares about herself more than other. that doesn't make her a bad character or even a bad person, but people need to understand she's not perfect either.

hi, so awhile ago, or to be more accurate 4 months ago lol, i mentioned that i was working on a 20 minute video that analyzes mileven’s relationship. i gathered clips throughout the seasons that highlight the dynamic between mike and el. this video is byler proof that essentially doesn’t really focus on byler. making this made me realize how much of mike and el’s relationship is just DRAMA lol.

anyways, here it is. please enjoy <3 https://youtu.be/HxqMxztkS1A?si=U7_lxyOfELocpgMl

you guys prob don’t remember but in my initial post about this vid, you guys said you wanted to be tagged. i apologize for the long wait. the amount of times the file corrupted and i had to start over drove me insane 😅 @total-serene560 @kittykat940 @throne-of-crows @upsidedownlurker @byler-invested @mimispams @wanderers-collection

It's gonna be "oh, Mike, the painting was all Will, not me"

In a normal day

In a normal day, Will could pretend that he’s not dying while he hears about Mike and his kinda adopted sister Jane. In a normal day, he could pretend that he’s just that brother and best friend that he pretends to be. In a normal day, he’s able to switch on and off his feelings just like that.

But today is not a normal day. He started the day off immediately with a nightmare. He couldn’t go back to sleep afterwards, and he couldn’t ask for help; since the three people he goes to have been basically avoiding him for a month now. El is hyper focused on Mike, all Jonathan does Is drugs; and Mike… is well- complicated. He clearly doesn’t care about his friendship because of El; and that’s fine for Will. But it makes these days all the harder, like always as soon as school is over El’s checking the mail to see if he has a letter from Mike. While Will follows his sister closely behind, and Jonathan is already speeding off with his friend to smoke.

Jane immediately giggled seeing a letter for her, and passed the rest of the mail to him. Despite his best efforts, he immediately gets disappointed when he doesn’t get the same treatment as El does. He walks to the door to hear the same chatter of his mom on the phone. Will’s only reaction or to sigh, and walk downstairs toward his room; never been happier that Jane’s room is all the way upstairs while he lives in the basement. He immediately runs to his room as soon as he was out of earshot, and sobs right into his pillow.

He can’t help the thoughts invading his mind. Calling him disgusting for being gay, and for being in love with his best friend. If they’re even friends anymore. Even if not, he’s still desperately in love with his sister’s boyfriend. He sobs and sobs knowing he’s completely alone, and knowing no one actually cares for him anymore. He only rejoined his family at dinner pretending it’s just a normal day.

You know what I don't care about mileven or byler anymore I just need El and will to be happy

[sad-girl-edits]

Pro Jane Hopper!! Let her be happy!!! I say as I post my edit exploiting her most vulnerable moments

Again, music from Hey, nothing. I’ll link the song below

What is your opinion on the monologue? Count the script

I can’t rlly comment on if the monologue was truthful or not, but Mike contradicts himself a lot

When with Will he says finding El was “dumb luck” but he says it was the best day of his life during the monologue. Also he didn’t start the monologue until Will encouraged him which says something about his character imo, El definitely didn’t seem as inspired by it as i originally thought she would when i watched that scene for the first time.

Right after he says I love you El doesn’t talk to him in the cabin and idk it seems super unromantic to me.
