#to byler and beyond

will takes every opportunity he can to rub the fact that he's older than mike in his face. constantly abuses the "you'll know when you're older" joke and it makes mike so mad.

"will come on, i don't understand what this means." "it's alright mike, you'll know when you're older"

"you're literally older than me by like two weeks" "best two weeks of my life"

MIKE "I AM NOT LEAVING WILL'S SIDE" WHEELER ⤷ part i || S02E06 - The Spy

[chirpsythismorning]

Case should be closed based on this alone

[lighthouseas]

"i didn't say it" "you didn't have to" and this was the day i died actually

[talssyyy]

As much as i am excited for season 5, i can’t stop thinking about how when mike and will get together, milevens are gonna be saying that it came out of nowhere and it doesn’t make any sense and that’s bad writing etc… SIGHH im gonna go crazy on here

[the--last-great-american-dynasty]

to all my byler fans: go watch dead boy detectives. you will love it. and we need it to be renewed for season 2. please. i am begging you to watch it.

wait how could the rest of the party not know about mike and will? they’re so obvious about it. did they not think anything when mike and will were cuddling and sleeping together on one sleeping bag? and what about how they almost kissed in front of everyone at the docks last chapter? will was clinging onto him in the water too! they gotta know a little bit

genuinely i do not think anyone is paying that much attention to them! i think it’s important to note that mike and will have had a very tumultuous relationship for years at this point in acswy canon, and as recently as the start of camp 2023 got into a huge fight — i think that the rest of the party is just grateful to see them get along and isn’t reading too much into it. although this is a mike and will centric story, the rest of the party has their own lives to worry about! what mike and will do beyond being friends and not making it awkward for the rest of them probably isn’t something they’re super concerned about :’)

Everyone who aggressively denies obvious Byler foreshadowing pointed out to them is gonna look awfully foolish when Byler is endgame. It’s one thing to be a GA member and just not know the evidence; it’s another thing to be an avid watcher of the show and be shown specific evidence in great detail, only to be like, “Nuh-uh, this means nothing 🙅‍♂️”

since netflix wants to talk about hidden rainbows in their shows, i think this scene in vol 2 is funny

they show argyle and his silly little rainbow socks and then bam we’re gonna pan up to mike wheeler’s face

[stormypasta88]

will gets vecna’d and everyone freaks out (rightfully so) and panics. cassettes are flung across the room, headphones are on and it’s an intense round of the waiting game but will isn’t reacting.

mike gets an idea and sprints up the stairs to retrieve a box full of letters that he wrote when will was in california, but couldn’t work up the courage to actually send them. all signed with “love, mike”

back with will and slightly out of breathe, mike opens the box and digs out the very first letter in there. from september, written a few hours after will left.

ignoring everyone’s questions and looks of confusion, mike starts to read it. his poured out heart and deepest emotions that once met paper with a ballpoint pen, being read out loud in a room for 15 people.

“....I don’t know what I’m gonna do with myself now that you’re going to be all the way in California. This will be the longest we’ve ever been apart, and I’m not sure if I can handle it. But I know you can, you’ve always been the strong one out of the two of us. Since I know you can do it, I’ll do it too. Maybe it’ll make me crazy, but if I go crazy, I’ll let you know. We’re going crazy together, even if you’re across the country. I miss you already.

Love, Mike”

when mike finishes, the room is eerily silent with everyone staring at him. mike opens his mouth to explain when will suddenly gasps super loudly and falls over into mike’s lap. mike scrambles to catch him and just stares at will, hope and love gleaming in his eyes. 

“crazy together, huh?” will croaks. his voice is shot like he’s been screaming nonstop for the past 40 years.

and mike just breaks, throwing his arms around will and bursting into tears. loud, ugly sobs pull themselves out of mike’s chest, staining the room with grief and pain. will wraps his arms around mike and cries with him.

no one knows what to do, but they leave mike and will to have their moment together, after all they all know that it’s always been them.

mike and will. will and mike. byers and wheeler.

I think this picture is just so peak El in her life, ya know? In her brother's shirt under the dress she bought with her best friend, with her hair cut by her mom and the flowers her boyfriend bought her, making the snarkiest judgiest face you've ever seen. Yup. That's El. Loved enough by you that she's allowed to look at you like this.

[chirpsythismorning]

Shawn Levy on set for these scenes even though he didn’t direct either of the episodes… aka these must have been scenes he felt were important enough for him to be there, in person, so that he could make decisions as an executive producer hmmm

[elevenenthusiast]

I HATE how much people do to defend noah on here and on twitter like why are you all forgetting he’s a zionist?

[tender-emotional-music]

not gonna tag as the ship or anything, but even if I find henderh0p sort of cute visually, I don’t think I’d ever be able to ship it. I just think El ending the narrative single is extremely important, and a common anti mlvn thing people bring up is how El and Mike don’t have any common interests. Neither do El and Dustin be frrr. Even though we haven’t seen much of them, Dustin and Suzie work because he admires her nerdy science/computer skills and it’s something they can bond over. El hasn’t shown much interest in any of that stuff so far. If I say I don’t like mlvn partially because it restricts El’s development and they’re not compatible romantically, I can’t turn around and say she should be with another guy with whom she has no common interests
