fellow bylers, i have a question for y'all that i hope to god asking will help me settle this internal debate i've been having with myself once and for all:
#byler#stranger things#mike wheeler#will byers#byler poll#st polls#music#noah rambles#i have been trying to work through this for DAYS#on the one hand i'm tempted to say it's mostly will-coded bc of how heartfelt the song is#and imo will has been much more open and honest about his feelings than mike ever has LMAO#but at the same time?? i'm also thinking it's actually more mike-coded???#idk the 'i wish i could know myself like you' in my mind speaks to mike consistently trying to fit in#and in turn trying to find who he is where will seems to know himself much more than mike does#not just in terms of sexuality but in terms of interests & what he wants#not to mention the 'i'll never know why you chose me' part in the refrain#it seems like mike does. not have a very high image of himself lmao#there's definitely an element of self-hatred in there??#and bc of that perhaps mike would be surprised and confused that will has feelings for him???#and tbh it wouldn't surprise me if mike felt some amount of guilt for the way he treated will in s4 (in particular) too#and he doesn't know why will would still choose him after everything he said?? perhaps???#so yeah to summarize mike is still grappling with self-hatred (& internalized homophobia) and doesn't know why will would choose him#while also being less sure about who he is and what he wants moving forward#however. neither of them have tattoos (let alone bad ones) and we've never seen them get drunk or high skdjfhsdf#at least those are my thoughts atm. lol#i'm a music therapist in training i hAVE TO ANALYZE SONGS LIKE THIS OKAY !!!!#Spotify
