“this ship isn’t canon” to YOU. I, however, am delusional

[psychicandruins]

There are ships you consume. And then there are ships that consume you in a never-ending abyss of complete brainrot.

[brungeons-and-bragons]

Bitches will be like “my ship just got confirmed” and then show you a single low-res frame of ambiguous origin where the characters walk out of a room together. It’s me. I am bitches.

"normalize male friendships! just because they are close doesn't mean they're dating!"

yes i agree! but these specific bitches gay idk what to tell you

[evil-gay-person-inactive]

They're so close, yet still so far :/

Someone, clearly a milkvan, commented this⬇️

So they actually see the problems in the relationship?!

They see how the ship is not given proper romance scenes?!

But Byler is still not an option?!

Wow

Why do they even ship it?

[haluton]

No you don't understand how important the gay people in my phone are to me

[fairyrona]

i am not in the least sorry <3!!

[screamingfrenchfries]

my mom, ranting about politics: ...and that's why the woke left is destroying our society.

me, with a fanfic tab open in front of me, trying to read gay porn: uh huh, yeah sure mom.

Milkvan has not been built up

Macaroni and cheese could not have been intentionally built up since season 1, El was originally supposed to die.

All the build up that happened for marine biology took place in s1, the kiss and Els death was supposed to be the end of it. For something to be built up, it requires a satisfying conclusion, I believe that the build up was there in s1 and the satisfying conclusion was supposed to be the kiss and self sacrifice for the first friends El had made. Byler on the other hand, has been stated to have been thought out since s1(at least on wills part). Milktits say all the time that milkshake has been built up since the first season, but even if El wasn't supposed to die, the satisfying conclusion to the build up would be them getting together at the snoball. There is no building up in s3&4, all there is is proof that they aren't compatible. All of the conflict between them that happened in s3&4 didn't need to happen, they could've just been a happy power couple for the rest of the seasons if macrame was really endgame. Will didn't need to be in love with mike, will didn't even need to be gay if Mariah Carey was really endgame.

Now I do think that s1&2 had buildup, but the building up ended when they got together, and subsequently proved that they do not work as a couple. In s3 they broke up and lied, and in s4 they weren't together for most of the season and when they were they fought and lied. I firmly believe that just because a couple breaks up in a show doesn't necessarily mean that they aren't still being built up or aren't endgame. Take Jess and nick from New Girl for example, they dated for a while until realizing they had extremely different goals in life and did not work as a couple. Yet, during their time apart they grew as people and their goals changed, but they stayed best friends and they eventually realized that they were still in love with each other, and got back together, their goals aligning and finally working as a couple. That is what a good build up looks like, even when the couple in question breaks up.

Now let's take a look at Mel Gibson's breakup in s3, while El grew as a person during this time, mike stayed pretty much the same. The time they spent apart did not make them grow as people and become more compatible, they might have grown a little, but we're still proven to be incompatible in s4. The breakup of nick and Jess was drawn out to prove that they could grow and show that they still worked as friends, whilst macropenis break up was played as a joke and the two barely talked during the time, further proving that milkvan doesn't work well. Macroeconomics has not been built up, what happened is that the duffers have done their best to show that they are incompatible.

My guess of why milkman has been handled like this is that El was and is a fan favorite, when the duffel bags realized they couldn't kill her off they needed a way to make sure that melanin could have a satisfying ending while keeping El on the show. At the time, I believe, Motorola razr was a fan favorite ship. The duffel bagels couldn't just end it now that El was alive and well, so they had to show that they did not work as a couple, and then end it.

Finn & Noah are gonna either spoil Byler by not being able to stop laughing and smiling when they talk about literally anything or they are going to denydenydeny as much as they can... It will be an interesting day lol also for the love of god do not ask directly about the ship... ask GENERAL QUESTIONS about their characters, they are going to start yapping about their character arc and give hints without realizing

[hey-yuiyu]

They're crazy together. And they didn't really have to lose their minds, but find their hearts instead

Just a questionable-quality zoom in

Finn Wolfhard being #1 M*leven anti for the 9483716 time he’s so me

Listen to this man’s voice he sounds so bored when he mentions the letter and as soon as the girl’s like oh you mean the fake letter? where she’s pretending? he’s instantly going “yeah yeah yeah exactly yes yes yeah” verbatim and starts making fun of Mike’s disconnect with El 😭 I just know he was thinking thank god there are people who get the letters weren’t a cute romantic thing and he doesn’t have to go along with any fawning
