i'm so freaking excited about all the byler moments we're going to get next season omg
Many people actually think Will is just some minor gay character with a sad gay storyline, and many people think Mike is just there to be El's boyfriend and even though he's faking through it and is feeling insecure about himself because he has to hide his reel needs and wants and hobbies that's ok.
That's why Will and Mike have to have a bigger role in S5.
I feel you because I'm literally so sick of seeing these takes like??? Mike and Will are two of the most important characters to the show??? If you can't see that yet, cool, whatever but like idk what to tell you. The whole show has always centered Will.
New headcanon just dropped. Sit back while I take you on a hypothetical ride.
Let's say Will gets to be the hero for season 5. At El's side, they are able to put an end to Vecna. All that's left is sealing up the Upside Down forever.
The tricky part is, Will, because he's connected to Vecna/The Mind Flayer, is aware of how to seal the Upside Down forever. But it potentially requires a sacrifice. Someone to be on the other side to zip it shut for good. (or at least, until the next evil person gets yeeted to the Upside Dow by mistake and becomes a super villain). Doing this will fix the barrier between the planes, preventing gates from easily being torn open.
Will doesn't tell anyone this. He just says he has a plan and to wait for him. He acknowledges he might never get back though and plans to just seal it up with him inside to prevent his friends and family from trying to stop him from doing what needs to be done.
They wait a while and everyone starts to get suspicious. Especially El.
Will has almost completed the task and he's probably a mess emotionally like, "This sucks, but I can't let this happen to anyone else. 😥 Never again." The whole dramatic "close your eyes before completing the deed" thing.
But then he hears, "OH NO YOU DON'T". Before he even knows what's happening, he feels himself being pulled right back through to the other side right before it gets sealed up forever. Something he probably couldn't have done on his own.
When he opens his eyes again and looks up, El is standing above him with a minor nosebleed looking pissed, panicked, and sad all at the same time.
"HOW DARE YOU TRY TO DO THAT ON YOUR OWN!" she screams followed by hugging him so tight that he chokes a little bit.
Yes, Will saved the world and almost committed the ultimate sacrifice, but his sister said "HELL NO" and managed to save him in the nick of time.
IM SORRY I JUST NOTICED EL ACTUALLY HITS WILL WITH THE FLOWERS SHE GOT FROM MIKE AND THIS IS THE FUNNIEST SHIT I'VE EVER SEEN😭😭
LIKE THIS IS HILARIOUS IDK
how can people enjoy shows without spending all of their freetime shitposting about them on tumblr and reading fanfiction of their ships until 3 am
Byler nation: according to our data, Byler will finally be established in 5x05, it's gotta be raining, boys will kiss after the fight, they will be wearing green clothes, Mike will initiate the kiss, Heroes will be playing.
Milwaukee shippers: lol, you're delusional freaks.
Episode 5x05: *the rain starts*
Milwaukee shippers:
STOP THIS IS SO CUTE ANS FUNNY
A Byers brothers heart-to-heart 💕
It is my biggest pet peeve when (mostly) straight people try to make queer people feel guilty for shipping two same gender characters together or say it's problematic to ship them, so I've made a little list debunking their ideas. I'll be talking a lot about Byler but this also applies to Elmax, Ronance, Steddie and queer ships in general.
"Why can't people be friends anymore?" Why can't a guy and a girl be friends either? Why aren't you saying this about Chrissy and Eddie shippers? Unless the issue is that they're gay.
"You're assuming Will is gay based on stereotypes!" Of course, the horrible stereotype that gay guys like men but not women, how problematic of me.
"You're fetishizing children!" No one says this about M*leven shippers. The fact that you view a queer relationship as inherently sexual and adult is sexualising young people much more than shipping Will and Mike does.
"Men will be scared to be affectionate to their friends in real life in case people think that they're gay!" First of all, I doubt some straight guy is going to stop hanging out with his friend because some random person on the internet drew Steddie fanart. And second of all, why are we treating straight men's fear of being perceived as gay as a perfectly valid and normal fear? (I elaborate a bit on this point in the reblogs)
"Why is it okay to say Mike Wheeler is gay but not say Robin is straight? You're erasing his sexuality!" First of all, when did Mike say he's straight? Sure he said he loves Eleven (which I doubt he does anyways) but bi people exist. Plus, there are so many straight characters and ships out there. Straight people don't look up lists of shows with canonical queer representation or watch a show because it has a straight girl in it. Lesbians like myself look up to characters like Robin and they are meaningful to them. No straight person feels seen in their heterosexuality because of Mike Wheeler. The only exception in my opinion is when people headcanon straight characters who are dating trans people as bi like Tao from Heartstopper because that comes off as transphobic.
"They're too young to know that they're gay and you're forcing a sexuality on them." I've known I'm gay since I was eleven or twelve which is the age they are in S1. And yet again, why aren't you saying this about straight people! Everyone accepted that Dustin and Lucas liked Max in S2. Yet Will is too young to know who he likes... Interesting.
"Grown adults wanting two young boys to kiss each other is pretty weird." The issue with this is again the hypocrisy. Adult M*leven shippers don't get told this. Mike kissed Eleven in S1 and it was completely cute and non-sexual because they are children so of course it isn't sexual. Hell they even made out when they were 13 and no one complained. Why would that be any different if he kissed Mike instead of Will? Yet again, people view queer people as being inherently sexual but queer people get cute little crushes or want to kiss people sometimes too. It's not a sexual thing. It's the exact same as a straight person doing it.
Anyways that's my rant done. It just annoys me when half of their arguements saying why it's wrong to ship these characters are just masked homophobia, even if the person saying it doesn't realize. Feel free to add more to this in the reblogs, this is just what I've seen.
My dream is the tag growing to 250k by the time s5 drops and the duffers feel the weight of a medium sized town breathing down their necks.
we will make them scared
