different seasons, same steve stance.

Byler is so endgame you guys don’t understand

Finn sneaking in the directors room to edit those hearts in bylers eyes

I know it's not the popular theory but I'm still convinced that I'm right and that Mike did not understand that Will was talking about himself in the van, he maybe suspected it was weird but dismissed it, BUT those words made him feel in love for the first time and he thought that that feeling was for El so he tries to tell El in the Pizza place but the words don't come out initially, he's so nervous and he's asking himself why can't he just say it again and then Argyle interrupts them and everything happens and then WILL TELLS HIM TO TELL HER and he watches Will and he remembers that feeling and he just spits it out! but it's not genuine! it doesn't feel right!!! she knows it too and she loses because it's not the truth!

Mike doesn't understand himself.

This.

I genuinely don't get any hate towards Will Byers. How can you hate this boy? HOW? WHAT DID HE EVER DO WRONG?

mfers be like “woooo byler endgame!! let’s have a countdown, let’s go out in the streets and throw a pride parade!!” forgetting that there are still 2 agonizingly long years left

it’s me, i’m mfers

btw this is a 100% confident byler is endgame blog until proven otherwise when season five comes out just so y’all know

I think Noah and Finn have said everything they can about byler. They're locked away now

yeah i like byler (i'm slowly but surely descending into insanity)

mike at el, supposedly: i don’t know how to live without you. i can’t lose you.

also mike when something sus is happening with el:  🥤

No apologies for the person I'll become when we see Mike's pov

Thinking about the fact that Noah must have seen some Byler tumblr posts on Tik Tok, so he must have looked into it. I have a feeling he’s on here lmao

he HAS to know what we’re up to… there’s no way he doesn’t…

SO PRETTY

it would’ve been so so easy for them to still make Will gay without making him have a crush on Mike. so easy.

but why would it specifically be Mike if it were going to be one sided? to make him one of the most miserable characters?

also it would be such shitty writing if they went with him confessing to Mike, Mike rejecting him but accepting him, Will understanding and then they go completely back to normal and give Will a random boyfriend in the last season

dear people of tiktok and twitter,

please. PLEASE get this out there into the world. im so serious. please post about this and the little women parallel.

Byler Theory - Two Halves, One Heart

Before I begin my analysis, this theory builds on the concepts analysed by @CauseINeedYou on TikTok. So credit for them for that.

————————————————————

As mentioned above, CauseINeedYou discussed how the tracks of “Being Different” and “You’re The Heart” actually merge together perfectly. In addition to this, there are whale song effects used in both songs which, once put together, sound like they are calling to each other. How beautiful is that? The music production behind the current season was phenomenal. 

The tracks therefore could potentially imply that both of these tracks represent two separate halves which, once put together, make a whole. Metaphorically, therefore, this could represent both Mike and Will together. Therefore, Will was half right, Mike is part of the heart. What Will does not realise is that he is also part of the heart. To Mike, Will is actually the heart, whilst Will believes Mike is. Both are clueless to each other, and by no fault of their own. 

As you can see above, within the GIF image, Will reveals to Mike the painting that he made for him. In this scene he points to the heart with a crown, saying how he has a coat of arms, alongside a heart. Will says how Mike is the heart and that he essentially inspires people. Later in this scene, Will masks his own feelings by using El, so that Mike is unaware of Will’s true feelings for him. Essentially implying how Mike makes him feel like he’s not a mistake at all, again implying that Will thinks that he is a mistake, which is painful. But, however, when he’s with Mike he feels whole. That’s because the heart is complete. Will and Mike complete the heart, they are both two halves of a whole. They complete the equation. 

The way that I believe that they will tie this together in season 5 is not only beautiful, it will also be a masterpiece. The Duffers have stated in several recent interviews how the “coming of age story” of Will is “far from over” and that there is still “a lot more” to tell. This includes Will’s self acceptance and realisation that he is indeed not a mistake at all, he is quite the opposite. They hint, however, at more than just Will’s journey as if it’ll intertwine with others. Noah commented recently that Mike has also been going through problems, which I believe intertwine with Will’s arc. Why else would they specifically focus on Mike as Will’s love since season 1? They could have handled Will’s coming out arc without including Mike. However, they chose to include him as the one he truly loves. This is no coincidence. 

Season 5 I believe, therefore, will focus on handling Will accepting himself and coming out to those he loves. Additionally, we will get to see more scenes from Mikes perspective and the troubles that he has been dealing with this whole time. I do truly believe that Mike loves El, or loved El, but simply platonically. I’ll get to that in another post, but for now let’s focus on Mike and Will. 

Now that I have produced many theories, notably Will Byers Powers and The Neverending Story, both merge into this theory. As mentioned in my previous theory, which you can see back in my posts, I explained how Will has powers which he is currently either unaware of or are dormant. Potentially, in order for Will to discover these powers, he needs to find them from within himself. This is how I believe they could tie both his coming of age arc and supernatural arc together. To realise his powers he needs to overcome his internal demons, quite literally. Will finally accepting himself and finding his internal strength could, potentially, allow him to realise his full potential. Mike could also factor into this equation. As they are both the heart combined, perhaps they need to form together in order to end this Neverending Story. Maybe the heart really is a significant detail, just as Will’s painting depicts. 

Before you say that this sounds too cheesy, I’d like to point out how the whole story of Stranger Things is literally based on friendship and love. Winona Rider herself even said this at the Season 4 premier. This story is about fighting for and with the ones you love, the power of love and friendship. The supernatural element is the main focus but love is intertwined into every fabric of the story. Without love and friendship, El would not have been able to defeat Vecna twice, albeit Vecna technically wasn’t properly defeated both times. But this I believe is because El needs both Mike and Will to complete the equation. Mike to realise his own feelings and talk to Will, and Will to accept himself. Will essentially finding power and inspiration from Mike, just like he said in the van. 

In terms of Will and his powers, he is paralleled to Henry Creel multiple times in the story. Both are called sensitive kids, both think that they are different and both believe that they essentially are a mistake. 

There is a stark contrast, though, between both Henry and Will. Henry takes his anger out on people and chooses to be, essentially, evil. Will, on the other hand, decides to be good and to be self-sacrificial. So, despite Vecna likely trying to use Will for his bidding and using him, Will will fight back. There is simply too much good within Will for him to be converted to evil. 

Going back to Will and his connection to the Upside Down, time froze the day that he went missing. The Duffer Brothers have essentially implied that this is a focal point of the whole lore of Stranger Things and that Will is going to be a main focus. Thus, it is likely that he was targeted for a reason. Either he was targeted because he saw himself in Will and thought he could convert him, or he knew he had some sort of dormant natural power like him and therefore could use them. There is a reason that he was left alive and not killed, alongside the supposed demorgorgon being able to move the latch. Way too many coincidences there. Vecna needs Will to take over and defeat El. One way in which he could consume them from Will, potentially. 

Vecna will not, however, be able to use Will. As I said, there is too much good in him. He now also has a strong platonic bond with El, as his sister. To defeat Vecna and to put an end to the Upside Down, Will needs to realise his powers and to accept his true self. Mike, therefore, also holds the key in being able to unlock this power that Will has. Two halves forming together to complete the heart, fulfilling the equation. Once this happens, Will can help El to defeat Vecna for good. He will not be able to withstand the power of both El and Will together.

Remember that in the Hellfire Club Campaign a roll of 11 was simply not enough to defeat Vecna. This season Vecna was only temporarily defeated, Will confirmed he was still alive in the cabin scene. A roll of 20 was, however, enough to defeat Vecna. As I’ve analysed in my previous theory, both Will and Mike both had size 10 roller skates at the roller rink, potentially foreshadowing? There are a lot of hidden details in Stranger Things, this could be one of them. Implying that Mike can help Will, which in turn will help El. Overall, therefore, completing the equation and defeating Vecna. It is likely, therefore, that we will see a Will and El power duo in season 5, once Will has discovered his potential powers. 

Finally, to conclude, to end the story Mike and Will need to form together in order to complete the heart. Two halves equals a whole. Mike giving Will the love and inspiration to accept that he’s not a mistake will allow him to discover not only his true self, but also his powers and potential. Will can then team up with El to defeat Vecna once and for all. El is very powerful which we have seen this season, so imagine the damage both El and Will could do. In the end, the power of love and friendship will prevail, which is a key underlying theme in the show. The heart really is the key.

He’s so pretty I can’t

anyway, it's gonna be your loss mike wheeler

I’ve been keeping something from u guys. I am actually Matt Duffer. my brother and i just finished writing the season 5 scripts. Don’t tell anyone but Byler, elumax, and ronance are canon. Also in the finale Mike and Will get married. Again please don’t spoil this🙏🙏🙏

Imagine watching stranger things for the first time in 2024 and then you see two boys kissing in the end like??? You don’t deserve that!! You should’ve gone through the pain we’re going through right now and anxiety

This made me giggle

i don’t understand how literally everyone isn’t insane about byler like what do you mean. they’re everything. they compliment each other. they’re compatible in every possible way. they’re meant to be. how are you not foaming at the mouth over it. how is your brain not rotting at the mere thought of them. i just ,

SO CUTE

Will Byers daydreams about dnd..
