Mike didn’t just “profess his love” for El, by the way.He sacrificed his own happiness to save her.
Because saying “I love you” meant committing to a real relationship , something he was trying to escape from.
And of all people, El would be one of the last to want to see Mike unhappy.And she deserves the best for herself.
I can’t wait to finally watch their beautiful friendship.

you have to be able to defend people who are receiving unjust treatment even if they annoy you even if you personally find them extremely annoying you still have to be able to stand up and say "well thats fucked up"

predictions for when byler becomes endgame
the stranger things subreddit will crash (maybe(hopefully) it'll be deleted)
tumblr will surely crash
let's be real almost the entire internet will be down
some people will owe their friends and family money - imagine the giggly "i told you so"s
the duffers will win awards for writing the greatest lgbt slow burn love story to date
everyone will celebrate!!

Finn did an interview for Variety! Looks like it went up yesterday. Couple interesting moments below.

Fascinating that this interview question draws attention to Will's abilities - basically puts El's power's and Will's UD connection on par!

I don’t know if it’s just me, but even though I’m pretty convinced Byler is going canon, I still know I’m gonna lose it the moment we start getting Mike and Will scenes — both the subtle ones and the intense ones.
Like… I know it’s coming and yet I’m gonna react like it’s the biggest plot twist of my life.
I don’t know if that makes sense 😭😭

Does it ever hurt you guys to know Erica got attacked in the same way Lucas did with Billy. Except not only was she 11 while Lucas was 12, but she was by herself while Lucas had Steve, Dustin, Mike, and Max to care about him.
No one in the party/older teens/ST adults but us, the audience, knows that Erica had to fight off an older boy that used to play basketball with her brother and most likely partied with her brother after winning the championships. She had no help, no backup, she just had to survive being overpowered or else.
Out of all the ST kids, Erica was truly alone in that and while everyone got to get comforting reunion hugs from willel, mlvn, bywheelclair, jancy, the Byers family and so on - Erica got nothing.
And I know s5 is not gonna address that at all. She started s4 surrounded by Hellfire and she ended s4 prioritizing Lucas's grief about Max and putting her own painful experience on the backburner

Two of my favorite shows using wise women to set up in-universe laws that will dictate how we should interpret gay subtext.
In Andi Mack the lookback was used specifically to allow subtextual indication of gay romantic interest, while subverting censorship as much as possible.
In Stranger Things we have “love makes you crazy” and “love makes you stupid”. Mike foreshadows his own dawning realization of his love for Will being more than platonic by saying they’ll go “crazy together” (they’ll both be in love - together). And later on Will looks at a photo from that day and probably remembers Mike saying that, which is the moment Will probably thought that Mike might like him back. And he calls himself “stupid” (repeatedly) for having that hope. Since “love makes you stupid”, it’s clear that Will is indicated to be in love. Considering that during the same moment Mike is riding his bike through the rain to chase Will down and apologize, which to me is both crazy and stupid, I’d say Will is less alone in this than he fears.
(Credit to @kaypeace21 for being the one to pick up on the in-universe law in ST.)

''Matt Duffer says Mike Wheeler is the leader in Season 5.
“The way Finn has matured into this very confident young man is mirrored in the show and in Season 5 in particular. You see Mike become that leader again that he was in Season 1, but a more mature, confident version.”''
Precisely as we've been saying for years. I'm laughing.

Ooh is it NOT Holly?? Interestinggggg.
Oh I love hearing how proud they are 🥹 that makes me even more excited.
Can't tell us the run times?? 👀 That makes me think David Harbour's assertion that we're getting something like 3hrs per episode can't be far off 😂
Episodes 1 & 2 are done !!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Best first episode?? Ok okkk, I’m invested now.
Craziest cold open?? One of the best sequences???? I’M SAT. SCARED. BUT SAT.
i wish we got to know the runtimes, i wanna see them SOOO bad.
