for yall saying that mileven are too young and that they could break up just because of that. yeah i get your point. but the thing is, we probably won’t even able to see it because stranger things is ending in season 5. them breaking up last minute would not make sense for the plot and for the build up they did for 4 seasons. it’d be definitely such a waste of time to write their budding storyline just for them to say “you know what? you’re not the endgame couple”
if the writers decided to make 10 seasons or maybe even at least 8 of stranger things AND decided to break mileven up, that’d be more acceptable (for me) because we’re probably gonna see them grow out of their relationship and just be over it. but no. they’re ending it in season 5 and so far, there’s nothing in the plot that implies “yup we’re gonna break them up”
you’re just saying this because you want your ship to sail, you won’t care about the age thing if mike is dating will. besides, if that’s really the logic you’re going for, what even makes yall sure that will’s feelings for mike will also not fade overtime? i mean if mileven could grow out of their relationship like yall been saying, then im sure as hell will could find someone that can reciprocate his feelings right?
FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK 🎤
i don’t fucking care if silco was a “good” parent or not. it doesn’t fucking matter. all that matters in the end is that silco loved jinx and jinx loved him. ya’ll can write all the 1k words think pieces you want but it will never change the fact that in jinx’s eyes, silco was her father and she will always hold him close in her heart.
the one i didn't expect to have beef with this season was will 😭😭😭 why did my boi never stand up for el???? to me it feels like he just stood there and watched??? BOI IF U DONT APOLOGIZE TO HER AND TRY TO MAKE IT RIGHT 😭😭😭😭😭
Eagerly waiting for a showdown between Brenner and Hopper over Eleven’s paternity (where everyone knows Hop is going to win and kick Brenner’s ass for hurting his little girl)
The idea that Mike is no longer "interested" or is less "interested" or was never "interested" in el is wishful thinking at best, bullshit at worst.
I just know max would have hyped el tf up for hitting Angela
This is not a ship post, but a post about El's character. What kind of stupid take is this? El knows the difference between platonic and romantic love. She knows the difference between how she feels for Mike and how she fill for will or Dustin or Lucas. Just because she didn't know when she was a 12 year old who grew up in isolation does not mean she doesn't know now that she is 15 years old having lived in the "normal" world for three years. Have you ever seen El trying to kiss the party members? Has she ever called then her boyfriend?
I am so sick of people dumbing El down in a bid to achieve their ship. El makes it very clear in season 4 that she knows what she wants.
Actually I think Hopper should get to beat the shit out of Dr. Brenner. As a treat.
Why is the Stranger Things fandom so toxic about shipping? Jfc
Just keep your anti bullshit out of the ship's tags. Like this isn't complicated.
There is a difference between an actor showing "support" for your ship and just promoting the show they are on. Know this and know peace
LOOK I KNOW YOU GUYS WANT LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER ON THE WHOLE SHOW TO BE GAY BUT I HAVE BECOME TOOOO INVESTED IN MILEVEN TO BE ROBBED OF THEIR LOVE IN SEASON 4 OKAY !??
I AM NOW EMOTIONALLY ATTACHED AND INVESTED THEY CANNOT DO THIS TO ME😭
I hate that they're doing mileven right, they're bringing up her own self hate and his insecurities as something to work through. Like we all have to overcome things to be in a relationship. I hate that the bylers are gonna use this as a way to "prove" they're not good together when they're literally just two dumb teenagers with trauma who love eachother. But I also really hate the false hope this is giving to my byler friends, Mike loves el and he shows that in every scene, just not with words. Even last season when he SAID the words, mileven shippers were the ones called fucking delusional.
Am I the only one still stan mileven on tumblr? 😭
GOD DAMN IT. 😭
ISTG will byers needs to get himself a boyfriend who actually likes him back in ST4 okay there's literally nothing else i would accept because MY BABY DESERVES TO BE HAPPY
do you think we'll get a love confession from mike to el in vol 2? it's weird to know what his perspective is bc he kinda seems weirdly detached. you don't think there's any actual chance of b*ler happening right?
I see the story being setup for Mike finally being able to say those 3 words to El. I can’t see why they’d have 3 seasons of development and have Mike so firmly say in s3 “I love her and I can’t lose her again” if he didn’t actually mean it. For whatever reason he is just scared to say it directly to El. As for B*yler, you have to remember there are people that watch this show who don’t care at all about the ships but they understand they’re part of the story. They know that Mileven is a big part of the story that is being told even if they don’t really care about their relationship, so how would it make sense to casual viewers for Mike to suddenly have feelings for Will when he has constantly shown how he feels for El and has shown nothing but friendship towards Will? He even says he wants to go back to being best friends in s4 because they kinda became distant. The only thing I can see happening is Will saying he has feelings for Mike but I don’t see B*yler officially happening.
If any B*ylers see this, please don’t send any hate. I’ll just block and delete.
Just because Mike and El are having some relationship trouble doesn’t mean they’ll break up.
And it also doesn’t mean Mike is in love with Will-
If this happens I'll levitate while sobbing
The need for music to defeat Vecna as well as El’s need for a moment of love for her combines to Mike saying it to her over and over whilst she’s fighting the final fight.. like I can imagine her being exhausted having done all the fighting herself, so Mike holds her up and even keeps her hand in position whilst saying ‘I love you’ in her ear and finally she has someone with no ulterior motives just love for her ..

Reminder that you can ship Mileven and not hate Will, just as you can ship Byler and not hate El. It’s normal to maybe feel indifferent if you just don’t connect with one of them, but there are no real reasons to hate either of these characters. El and Will are actually two of my most favourite characters in the show, and the way that they are actually quite similar with the trauma they’ve endured should position us to view them as complimentary characters who are beautiful and strong and both worthy of appreciation, as they exist outside of their romantic relationships (and it sets them up for a really caring sibling relationship). idk man i just love them both and no conflicting ships are gonna ruin that
I know byler shit is going to go down and my gay lil heart is excited for developments but god said Mike and El when he created man so just know where my allegiance lies
The first person who accuses me in the year 2022 of being homophobic because I ship Mileven instead of By/ler is getting yeeted into the sun.
First, I am queer.
Second, it is literally no more or less complicated than I shipped Mileven in the first episode and my brain is a stubborn bitch utterly incapable of letting things go.
I wish I could go two seconds on this site without somebody hating on Mileven
Like seriously almost every single post is Byler. I just want to have peace. I’ll leave y’all Byler shippers alone if you leave us Mileven shippers alone.
people on tiktok are feeling sorry for brenner and saying shit like “his actions came from a place of hurt 🥺” as if this man didn’t kidnap children from their families, take away their autonomy, abuse them for their powers, psychologically damage & manipulate them, dehumanise them by shaving their heads and addressing them by numbers, OH YEAH and fry terry ives’s brain when she went looking for her daughter????? this all happened BEFORE the massacre but I’m seeing these comments acting like brenner actually used to be a lovely kind loving man who became cruel after the massacre…like. NO?????
he was ALWAYS an evil, terrible, awful person. he didn’t just magically become evil one day. he was ALWAYS like that. he didn’t “love” the kids, he loved their powers and using them for his own gain. you could argue that he became crueller to el after the massacre because he believed she was a murderer and a dangerous weapon, but I don’t believe he was ever truly kind to the children in a way that wasn’t manipulative or self-serving. he is seen to be sad and angry when he sees the kids are dead, but he’s not sad because he loved them, he’s sad that his little lab rats are dead and he can’t experiment on them anymore.
Don’t immediately assume Mileven shippers or anyone else is toxic or homophobic because they don’t ship Byler/don’t think it will be canon.

one thing that really bothers me about the stranger things fandom is the shipping wars. no offense but some of yall don’t care about anything but byler, or mileven, h*rringrove or whatever. like did you forget that this show has an actual plot? I don’t care who the characters are with as long as the show is written well. I don’t want the characters to just be who they’re in a relationship with.
also, the kids are starting high school this season. they’re around 14 years old. what makes everyone think that they’re all going to be in complicated relationships? i don’t know about everyone else but when I was that age I didn’t have anything like what you are all expecting from this season.
i’m ranting a little but i’m just tired of seeing almost nothing related to the actual plot in the tags. ten more days though!!
I'm actually scared about how people are gonna act when this most likely happens
i need people to be normal and chill when will and mike don’t become “canon” in stranger things s4 like… i am begging you guys
Literally
If u like Mike and will together or anything other ships good for u but don't shit on mike and eleven relationship just because it doesn't appeal to u it's annoying.
spouting all this shit about them like mike and eleven don't love eachother, mike/eleven is toxic etc is getting old.
And calling people who Dont ship them homophobic? Nah. I'm aware there are people who say homophobic shit about they're relationship. Fuck them. But it's not everyone who just simply dislikes the ship.
Like I personally think mike and eleven are cute together but i have no issues whatsoever with will and mike as a couple I just personally prefer mike and eleven.
Im fully aware aswell that not every person who wants mike and will to get together act this way so don't worry this rant isn't about u whatsoever, keep doing what you're doing.
But to that select few. Just stop lmao
why do so many people here seem to hate mileven so much…like if u ship byler or elmax or something that’s fine idc and tbf I do see the appeal of those ships. but what did mileven ever do to u?? ig there’s stuff u can criticise about it ofc and neither el nor mike are perfect, they have flaws and make mistakes. their relationship isn’t perfect either, but then they’re teenagers and one of them has basically had no normal human interaction outside of the party and joyce and hopper and the older teens, so of course they’re gonna be kind of awkward and of course el is gonna be kind of clingy to mike because he was her first friend and she doesn’t want to be separated from him again. but idk,, when I watched the show i thought they were cute?? and I still think they’re cute??
I'm all about taking the canon ships and ripping them apart and making your own shit up...but I feel like byler fans are setting themselves up for all the disappointment
Honestly the least toxic Stranger Things ships are byler and mileven tbh so we shouldn’t be fighting ya’ll.
