my thoughts on byler...

do you mean to tell me..

that the bullied, traumatised gay teenager who likes his best friend is going to end up without the best friend. the show literally shows the same storyline where the bullied kid's older brother ends up with the best friends older sister, who was previously in a relationship where she couldn't say i love you (sound familiar, mike?). The duffers aren't doing that shit by accident!

anyway...

Stranger Things IS LITERALLY a show about being different "being freaks", people who are ostracized by society!! and you mean to tell me a toxic, straight couple will be endgame?!

Also youse want a traumatised girl to get married and pregnant? tying her down to a man? yeah....

anyway

i hoped you enjoyed my mini rant

what do you mean elon musk did a nazi salute on live tv at the united states presidential inauguration twice and is now erasing the evidence off the internet by replacing the footage with the crowd cheering instead?

would be a shame if people reblogged this, wouldn’t it?

Mileven is a relationship not built upon romance, but conformity and confusion. They were kids who couldn’t recognise the difference between deep care for one another, and love. El was the first girl Mike has ever formed a deep connection with, and vice versa. Taught by societal norms he believed that this connection meant they had to become a couple. Boy meets girl, it all made sense. El has lived her whole life isolated in a lab, she obviously had no understanding of these feelings or the concept of romantic love, so she just went along with Mike.

This childish confusion is why as they mature, their relationship is gradually falling apart season by season, episode by episode. As Mike grows up, he starts to understand the difference between platonic and romantic love. He recognises within himself that he never saw El as a romantic interest . That’s why he has such a difficult time verbalising his love, because he can’t admit something that isn’t true. He doesn’t have an issue with being touchy with El, because touch isn’t exclusively romantic. (It only seems to be an issue with Will because he sees actual potential romantic subtext in that and he is trying to repress those feelings but i’m not here to talk about Mikes internalised homophobia)

As for El, we also see that as she adapts to society and learns more about life in general, including romance, she starts holding Mike up to a ”higher”standard (compared to before, objectively it’s the bare minimum) causing conflict between the two because she wants what Mike can’t give her.

The duffers said that this shows main focus isn’t the supernatural stuff, but portraying the journey of each character as they slowly transition into young adulthood. This includes Mike and El growing to realise their relationship isn’t what they thought it would be when they were 12. And that’s okay. That’s why i don’t understand why people try to force mileven to happen when it’s not what either of they want or need anymore.

GET. AI. OUT. OF. FANDOM. Stop making headcanons with it, stop making fanfic with it, stop making fanart with it. If I see one more "asking chatgpt *blank* about *character/characters in a fandom* I'm going to lose my goddamn mind. Use your own fucking brain, stop asking AI to do everything. You could even ask other real people what they think. Just. Stop. Using. AI. In. Creative. Spaces.
