Duffers deleting every proof that Mike is in love with Will from the script before posting it:

stranger things social media au [ pt 3 / ? ]
I just read a post the other day and it was a writer (I love them) saying Mike’s speech was good NOT BECAUSE IT WAS GOOD OR WELL WRITTEN but because it’s definitely some dumb shit a 15 year old kid would say when they’re trying to just say things and I’m laughing cause that’s so fucking true.
Like the speech isn’t good, it’s not deep or well done, but that is so something a kid would say, like it’s realistic and cringey. The more you think about it though, the funnier it is, because Mike was forced into giving the confession and he really said “okay fuck what do people say in those shit movies— oh! I love you on your good and bad days…uh…shit shit okay, I loved you since the first time I saw you! Yeah that’s good, and (what did that one guy say in that movie my mom loves?) my life started the day I met you!”
Like the more you think about it, it’s so fucking funny because it’s so obvious they took the most basic lines from cheesy rom com movies and made Mike say them. Because that’s ABSOLUTELY how a stressed kid would act in this situation. It really looks like Mike heard this stuff in a movie and saw the girl swoon there and just thinks it’s gonna do the job.
Do I ever want to watch it? No it makes me vomit it’s horrendous, but when you look at it from the light I think we’re supposed to, it’s hilarious because it’s so Mike.
According to the season 1 trailer, this is what Mike was thinking when he first met El 👀
He protect the gay
He attack the gay
but most importantly
he is the gay
peopleeee vote for the last scene!!!
me after I finally talk about byler to my therapist
Okay but honestly the thing I think about the most is how they REALLY didn’t need to make Will in love /w Mike to show the audience that he is gay??? Like i get that in real life it happens a lot, hell I was in love with my straight best friend, but this is a TV show… YOU LITERALLY COULD HAVE JUST BROUGHT IN A LOVE INTEREST FOR HIM JUST LIKE YOU DID ROBIN??
It just doesn’t make sense why you would do that and make Byler not happen 🫣
Some people are true allies
date: 08/12/2022 💙
byler count: 96,000 💛
notable news:
• many bylers hoped for the van script to be released today, but it unfortunately hasn’t been yet.
• there was a decent amount of discussion about twitter, more specifically twitter bylers, on the tag today. i only use twitter to update myself on the byler news occurring there, so i am not the most reliable source when it comes to twitter drama.
as a result of this drama, it is being said that many twitter bylers are flying over to tumblr!! i’d like to end today’s data by giving all these new tumblr bylers a warm welcome <3
WE’VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU ALL SUMMER AND WE’RE SO GLAD YOU’RE FINALLY HERE!
and when the byler kiss happens and lucas slowly hands dustin a 10$ dollar bill then what?
byler and lumax double date where max and mike bicker the whole time and will and lucas just sit there talking about random things while eating their pad thai
My hottest take is both Mike and El wanted to break up with each other during their Surfer Boy Pizza talk
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
bylers cant go touch grass because the second we’re outside and see the sun and the sky, we be like “ITS YELLOW AND BLUE HOLY SJIT BYLER IS ENDGAEM” and we be twirling our hair and kicking our feet at that
he’s just a little guy doing his best
Sometimes I like to pretend it’s actually Mike who’s canonically in love with Will and that Will is the oblivious one. And it’s not even that hard to do because my man does all the work himself
IM CRYING LMAOOOO
my friend has a family friend who went to primary school with finn wolfhard and apparently he was invited to finn wolfhard’s birthday in 2nd grade and this poor family friend didn’t know how to sign birthday cards and signed it “love from JJ” and finn wolfhard called him gay 💀💀💀 IM ACTUALLY LOSING IT

Every time the Duffers talk about Will being central to the plot in season 5. I get so excited. Especially when we know he’s likely going to spend most of his scenes with Mike.
i will NEVER get over this 😭😭
if we’re alone and i start crying abruptly it’s not your fault i just thought about this
This is actually insane
