According To The Season 1 Trailer, This Is What Mike Was Thinking When He First Met El 👀

I just read the most out of character-never-happening Byler fic but i am absolutely bawling my eyes out 😜

But I’m okay now because I mean Byler is canon and it’s happening so I really don’t have anything to worry about 🤭

will could paint him and mike kissing and then decide to backtrack by saying “i didn’t know how to draw el so i drew me instead but it’s actually you and el” and mike would say oh ok that makes sense

Brett knows about the Byler script I'm a little embarrassed

My hottest take is both Mike and El wanted to break up with each other during their Surfer Boy Pizza talk

I cannot believe gay love will save the world in ST 😃

it's time, isn't it? we already have too many stories with "straight love saves the day"....

stranger things social media au [ pt 3 / ? ]

ever get anonymous homophobes in your inbox and don’t know how to respond? fear not, i’ve made a meme for that

the fact that queerbating exists is so annoying, like can you actually not do that please. 🙄

i feel like everyone under this tag has said this but i'm really going to miss this era we're in after stranger things ends :(( like it's not going to be the same because we know byler will be canon, so no one is going to be chaotically freaking out over new evidence or typing out ten-page-essays or making "i know what you are" jokes about mike :(( and like :((( it makes me so sad to think about

long story short i love the big family that we have under the byler tag and i'm really afraid/sad that it's going to change eventually :(

even More soft byler moments :p this time i aged them up a little more . b4 i aged them abt 1-2 years but these r meant 2 b more senior hs/freshman college years?

backstories under the cut :>

i tried smth a little new w these ones but i dont think u can even tell so its whatever . also these backstories arent gonna b as detailed as the ones b4? since ive already said most of my hc's and stuff so theres not much i need 2 explain? idk

ok this ones just a self-indulgent will carrying mike thing . if i wanted 2 get deeper in2 what could b happening here, this is one of those moments i was talking abt in my headcanons post where mike complains abt walking so will picks him up sorta thing.

also in pretty much all of these except the third and fifth one , u can bet that dustin is probably saying some iteration of 'cant take them anywhere' at some point lol

this is like. the party is hanging out on the hill w cerebro (cuz i hc that they just do that now, since its away from ppl and they cant really talk abt Most things around other ppl? yknow?) and this is how they end up sitting some how and no one bothers 2 even acknowledge it at this point lmao (and wills wearing mikes jacket that i put in the first collection of moments - specifically the 'hugging while the world is ending' one)

hm am now realizing that it looks like mikes not wearing any pants . that was Not intentional so lets pretend his shorts have just ridden up passed the blanket or smth. anyways. this could b like. in the dorm room they share in college . or apartment? if they did that? probably not actually if its freshman year. this could almost b a like. "blackmail" polaroid taken by one of them that doesnt work cuz will just takes it and pins it on the wall or smth

OH also u cant tell in the other ones cuz u cant see his hands, but i gave will different coloured nail polish :p cuz i think he would wear more than just black. in this one its light blue

this ones another 'cant take them anywhere' moment lol. probably on the hill again like the other one. also its kinda hard 2 tell but i have them both wearing hellfire shirts . the bookbag thing was gonna b a backpack but i couldn't find a single reference of one sitting on the ground so i gave up and did that instead .

ok this ones supposed 2 b like. a picture that some1 takes and jts the first one taken in their new dorm/apartment/whatever and wills a little shit and mikes embarrassed abt it lmao . definitely goes up on the wall (also peep the orange nail polish)

this one is like. idk how many of ppl reading this live in a small town, but theres really not that much 2 do . so u end up just. walking 2 certain hang out spots in the middle of the night sometimes. also wills face is completely shadowed out cuz thats hkw it was in the ref and i couldnt fiugre out how it would look 4 the life of me lol

sorry these were so short ,, my phones being Super slow for some reason and my typing is so behind and its becoming very annoying but ill b working on my fic soon and depending on how things go, i might post the first chapter sometime this week? i havent decided whether im gonna post it as i go or if im gonna wait til i finish it all but we'll see ig
