#mike is straight

[mileven11forever]

Since you are giving your interpretations of byler theories... What do you think of the scene where Mike is in Will's room and Will is kneeling on the floor and Mike is saying Hawkins wasn't the same without Will? Because Will is kneeling on the floor in front of Mike with his back to him while Mike goes to sit on his bed. So Will's butt is directly in his line of sight. And you can see Mike noticing and looking him up and down. The only mileven response to this that I've seen is "he wasn't doing that." But he plainly is and you can see it. Many people noticed it and it worried a lot of milevens. So what do you think that meant if Mike loves El? Because we have never seen him look at El like that. And because of this, this scene tends to upset a lot of milevens along with the fact that no one can come up with a good explanation for it. I have yet to see a well thought out reason for the way Mike behaves with Will if he doesn't have some interest in him. Because I have never seen a straight guy look at another guys butt before. A lot of milevens were uneasy after seeing this scene especially since people either pretend it didn't happen or just say it was an accident. And it wasn't accidental. Mike didn't do that because Will happened to be kneeling there. Mike could have sat anywhere else in the room and intentionally sat there. He could have sat next to him or asked Will to turn around. But he doesn't do those things. He has no problem with Will being there and isn't uncomfortable. In fact, he looks happy and relieved to be talking to him. I don't think the reason Mike hasn't checked out El is because he respects her (which is the reason I always see). He's a 15 year old boy and checking out girls would be normal and it's also not disrespectful. People check out attractive people they are interested in, especially hormonal teenage boys. So then why is Mike checking out Will? Do you have a good take on that that isn't a dismissal of something we can all clearly see happening?

I'm not really sure how to respond to this, I just disagree with what's happening in that scene. I don't see Mike checking out Will, I don't interpret it that way. I think Mike was just being friendly and trying to mend his relationship with a friend he really cares about. I've seen that scene a lot of times from Byler videos, but I really just don't see it the way Bylers do. I believe Mike loves El, because he's said that and shown that time and time again, every season. I don't think Mike's glancing up and down is him checking Will out, people move their eyes around lots when talking, he wasn't necessarily looking at Will's butt, he could have been looking at his shoes or the floor or something else. I don't know, that's just how I see it.

just a reminder

for any mileven shipper who has to put up with ridiculous byler crap or see anything even related byler today.

These morons are just upset that on this day el came into Mike's life and effectively ruined any chance of byler happening so hats off my friends

Also. To reiterate, byler never had any chance of being real anyway because mike is straight and I don't care who that offends. Thanks and have a good mileven day.

Istg, fucking b/lers saying shit like "Mike just looks gay", "he seems gayer than Will", and "backing up" their ship by Mike having enjoyed putting make-up on El's face, and SEXIST & HOMOPHOBIC tweets/comments of cis-het white dude bros dissing Finn Wolfhard as "gay", ISTG, Barbara, it is hard not to commit murder.

If your reaction to a male character/person daring to exist outside of the prison of toxic masculininity is to code them as gay, then you are a gender essentialist, sexist asshole, who's supporting the bloody homophobic patriarchy, and you're only allied to your own stupidity.

Fan: So Finn, is there a line of Mike dialogue you would consider to be your favorite? :)

Finn: :) Well I think that—

Noah: Will and Mike kiss in the Upside Down in the last ten minutes of episode 5 to Heroes by David Bowie because the shame is on the other side and the lights will flicker in the real world because Will has powers, also Nancy dies and birthdaygate is real.

I just had an upsetting thought - what if Alison constantly visited the Ghosts and knew - when she was old and grey and had lived a life - that she was going to die, so she made sure she was in Button House for it?

Mike accepts it and understands her want to go back to the Ghosts, they’re like family, they’re always there.

But then it’s Mike’s turn to go and he decides it must happen at Button House too. He’ll see his wife again! Spend a couple of hundred years together & hey he can actually meet/talk to the ghosts now!

Only when he dies and he meets all the Ghosts, who are all excited to actually talk to him etc, he asks where Alison is, only to find that she moved on straight away.

He finally gets to see a part of his life that was so bizarre for him, so secret and hidden, part of his life where he only ever had half a story. And now he has that half but his whole world is still gone and he doesn’t know when he’ll ever see her again.

Siobhan plotting with Ify to take ducks and box Trapp out and then Trapp later just giving her a duck because she's too short to get one herself even with three boxes. Her little cry face. Truly a gentleman and a scholar.

The Duffers said that Will's emotional arc is gonna play a huge role in season 5 so I do think this isn't over. I think all that suffering Will went through is for a reason. We cannot know why the Differs decided to make Byler half-canon but just like Shawn Levy said, in stranger things, there aren't many coincidences. This is why I believe that maybe that Byler dynamic will play a role in season 5, whatever it is. I simply do think that if the Duffers were planning to queerbait people, they should have stopped giving Bylers useless hope or they should have addressed the situation just like they did with Stobin in the past. Making money and views using Will's unrequited love for Mike is disgusting and it will defo ruin the reputation of the show since LGBTQAI people will not shut up about that. If they don't address the situation, it's maybe because they want to preserve that ambiguity. They show us that when they tweeted stuffs like " when you pause the show at ... To ...will they , won't they couple?". They know it's what most people in the fandom care about so they play with that.

Yeah, I feel like the Duffers should probably say something if byler isn't going to happen (which I don't think it will), because there are going to be a lot of people upset if they don't. I don't personally believe that they're leading people on though. People will look into everything, whether there's actually anything there or not. It's not the Duffers fault that a lot of people just happened to start shipping two characters that they never intended to have a relationship like that. Mike and Will have always been friends, they always will be friends, but that's all. I've never seen anything from Mike showing that he likes Will romantically, he only loves El. Will is going to have a major role in ST5, but that doesn't mean byler is happening, Will is going to have to come out and learn to accept himself, have support from his friends and family, and move on from his crush on Mike. I think that's his actual arc. So yeah, it's complicated when the fandom is so big and there's tons of people reading too much into things, but that's my take on it.

Straight people don't need directions from the people in their life to know how to be straight. Lucas and Dustin never needed to be taught how to interact with/be attracted to girls. They were both instantly drawn to Max because they found her attractive, and they knew how to talk to her. They wanted to rescue the sexy princess lady from the Dragon's Lair arcade game because they are men who are attracted to women.

So why does Mike Wheeler need Lucas Sinclair to practically guide him by the hand when it comes to knowing how to date a girl? Why does the nature of Mike's relationship with El change because of the suggestibility given to him by his older sister?? It's almost like... Mike Wheeler isn't like Lucas and Dustin and doesn't understand attraction to or interaction with girls unless explicitly shown.
