I think it's funny that I've seen some defense regarding Mike's queer coding literally being that "he's not interested in any girls except El" bc that's just simply not how that works (in most cases).
Like I know people joke about their sexuality changing for one person, usually a celebrity, or someone else who's unattainable, but it's rarely ever the actual case. And I also know that it's a TV show so it doesn't necessarily have to be realistic but it's still interesting to think about.
I say this because we have literally no evidence to support Mike being into girls, at all. When talking to Dustin abt Suzie, comparing her to Phoebe Cates, he's has a disgusted-esc look on his face. He has no posters of girls (at least none where they are the focus) on his wall, but he does have posters of buff (fantasy) men. I also wanna mention the 'one way' sign pointing into the closet bc it's honestly iconic. They make a point of Robin commenting on Nancy's Tom Cruise poster, so we know that it's not crazy to be paying attention to these things.
All this to say that most characters in the show have moments of being attracted to people even while in a relationship (given sometimes it's just them talking about celebs or characters but still, I'm pretty sure the only time Mike's done that was w/ Cates and I already discussed that). The defense of Mike "only being attracted to El" is so unrealistic and would be really weird writing.
#went back to double check the posters and i forgot there is a slightly visible woman w/ one of said buff men#forgive me 😔#but my points still stand#i mean have we ever heard Mike talk about girls in a positive light before?#we've never actively heard him say he wanted girls to like him either#it's just implied by Lucas in s1: “you're blind because a girl's not grossed out by you”#🤷♀️ idk it's pretty sus if you ask me#(also i know the examples i mentioned are not the only ones but they're the ones i thought of off the top of my head)#byler#mike wheeler#mike wheeler analysis#mike wheeler i know what you are#mike wheeler the closet is glass#mike wheeler is gay#(or ig possibly bi with a high preference for males)#jay's saying stuff :)#jay's talking ST <3

The Will Voice is literally so visible.
When bylers say that Mike talks in a different way to Will, this is what they mean.

The airport scene is so fucking funny bc you've got argyle and jonathan looking like they're contemplating killing themselves and then it pans to Will and El like "omg Mike :D"
AND THEN Mr. Fruitboy himself walks in with the most horrendous looking outfit KNOWN TO MAN

Stranger Things s1 ep7 when Troy was talking about Eleven he said "She doesn't even look like a girl". The first scene of that episode is Mike telling El she doesn't need the wig and that she's still pretty💀 He CANONICLY thinks she's prettier when she "doesn't look like a girl".

Could ANYONE explain to me why Mike nods when Will says this? What truth is he hiding that El possibly won’t like?
Also, it looks like he wants to say something in the end but he doesn’t bc they are interrupted — once again— by someone, in this case Argyle.

before i fully realized i was bi, i used to say stuff like, “you know, in another life, i think i could’ve been bisexual!”
and idk i feel like that’s the kind of dumb shit that mike wheeler would say that would cause like... lucas and max and literally everyone to turn and look at the camera as if they’re on the office
#byler#mike wheeler i know what you are#the closet was glass for me#just like mike#and that's what you missed on internalized homophobia#for additional context#mike says this after he has just finished rambling to lucas and max about how will is the nicest and funniest and kindest and best person#and lumax just... is done

Mike, my sweet sweet sad little dude, I love you. But WHAT THE HELL "WE'RE FRIEND! WE. ARE. FRIENDS!" was for?!
Chill bro Will knows (and he's wrong.) you're totally heterosexual and in love with your gf!

If Byler isn’t endgame i’mma need Michael to explain his face 🤨
Like if I was Will… I’d be asking what we are every hour we spend in slight proximity to one another (Bc Michael always be staring if he has the chance)

Mike gaslighting himself, in every fanfic, about not being in love with Will is so me. Wait a minute…
Forget it, it’s actually canon.

made and curated by yours truly for the byler nation 💗😼 on topic but probably off topic, mike is traumatized and probably depressed and nobody talks about it i feel like not to make a shitpost all serious but..
