I LOVE this clip because it is a PERFECT example of the "Will voice" that Mike uses.

(+1 bonus point for the iconic lip glance. And another +1 for both of them jumping together at the end)

me when mike and his friends including steve jonathan nancy etc gather around to talk about protecting will from vecna and mike screams at someone about will's safety and everyone goes silent

did your uncle say it was byler related or are you just assuming it is?

He said "Some romance is gonna be happening with Mike" so I said "With who!?" and I cannot make this up he looks at me and says "You WILL have to wait and see" and he said Will with like the most enthusiasm ever

also he ships byler

I just genuinely don't see a situation where byler doesn't happen because why else would they make will gay and in love with mike AND make him give him that painting if they aren't gonna touch on it later and obviously they aren't gonna make mike reject him because lil bro is going through it rn

I am so confident that there will be at least a byler kiss but I cannot wait for season 5😭

Mike LOVES girls.

I just find it interesting that in this scene where Mike and Will are talking, there's a song playing in the background, which is known for being about one gay man telling another gay man to embrace the gay lifestyle 😭

I'm coming out... I ship mileven

PLATONICALLY

just imagine, end of season 5, its the end of episode 8 and the party have defeated vecna, byler confessed, theyre happy.

we see the party heading off to college, new beginnings and all that. mikes helping will pack up his stuff into a pickup truck, he says something like "well, looks like we're all done, everything's strapped up!", will walks over to him from where he was saying his goodbyes to joyce, jonathan, hopper and el (shes going to a local college with max in this idk) and just with every bit of softness in the world says "thanks for helping me pack, mike, are you sure you don't mind bringing all this to chicago for me?" and mike's eyebrows just shoot up because he literally went to hell for this man, and in the most sassy tone you can imagine "uh, yeah, we're gonna need some type of furniture for our new place and the government hush fund didn't stretch that far" will lets out a little chuckle, "damn, its the least they could do after the last 7 years" "i know right", mike squawked out, "anyways we better start heading if we want to make it there before dinner, see you soon mrs. byers!" muffled tears of happiness can be heard from her, and her voice wobbles slightly when she shouts back "call me when you get there and send pictures of the apartment! i love you boys", even a sniffle can be heard from hopper when he shouts out some reminders for driving the long distance. as the boys get into the truck, will shouts "we'll be back for thanksgiving, you'll hardly know we're gone" and as mike pulls away from the newly renovated byers-hopper house, there's this perfect shot of a normal loving family wishing their son(s) off to college and in this moment everything is forgotten, no more upside down or vecna or demodogs, no more possessions or otherworldly connections, just two boys holding hands over the console of the car as they set off to a new city, knowing that no matter what happens they'll always have eachother.

me and michael, solid as they come

me and michael, its not a question now

90s Byler and Jancy staying in a cabin together somewhere in the Appalachian mountains during autumn. Jonathan and Nancy kissing softly in a hammock and whispering and laughing to themselves about their brothers, who are fast asleep in the hammock right under them. Jonathan and Mike struggling to get a campfire going outside so that they'll be able to stay warm while they tell ghost stories and urban legends, and they're watching Nancy and Will struggling to make dinner together through the kitchen window and commenting about how cute they are (except Mike thinks it's cringe to hear Jonathan talking about Nancy that way. But Jonathan actually loves hearing Mike talk about Will that way). Them sharing oversized flannels and denim jackets between the four of them and all growing out their hair a bit. Nancy and Will going out into the woods with guns to explore new territory and scare off any dangerous animals or people (and Nancy helping Will work on his aim). Jonathan and Nancy not-so-subtly leaving the cabin and going for a walk so that Mike and Will can spend some alone time together, and vice versa. Jonathan drawing a warm bath for Nancy and getting in with her, and Mike seeing them later that night, both with wet hair, and having a "wait, you can do that with your boyfriend?" moment and looking at Will. Basically them just being happy and in love with their SOs and being a little family unit/working ecosystem and them serving the cuntiest fall vibes and doing survival lite together and giving zero fucks.

Part two billion of me psychoanalyzing Byler:

First: Remember Mike's iconically bad season 4 speech? Where Will is in frame the whole time? May I present...

And...

Actually, looking at this ⤴️ they seem REALLY close? Are they just standing really close or-

Oh- okay. No, Mike is just leaning four feet to the left in order to be closer to Will.

It's kind of telling Mike... like how close can you get?

And, finally, let's finish it off with an ICONIC lip glance:

(Screenshot for a specific moment) ⤵️

I never thought I would make sense out of a video from Noah where he sings some song and also deleted the video an hour later....

I'm about to sound as stupid as possible and will sound like I'm losing my mind, but just hear me out.

Nov posted a video of the song "Espresso - Sabrina Carpenter" and I thought. What if Noah didn't pick a random song? Especially since he started talking about filming and season five.

Let's go to the lyrics and try to figure out what's what.

Now he's thinkin' 'bout me every night, oh.

Is it that sweet? I guess so

Say you can't sleep, baby, I know...

The very first lines of the song. In these shirts, the person in question is saying what guy can't sleep because of her, because he's thinking about her. There's two ways of interpreting it. The first option is that it's about Mike. They all read the script and I think they know what is happening on the set and will happen, so maybe it is a part about Michael and he will think a lot before starting a serious but heartfelt conversation with Will.

The second option is about Will himself. I SOUND REALLY CRAZY, I KNOW THAT, BUT LISTEN. Suddenly it's about Will in relation to Mike. Suddenly something happens and Will can't deal with the feelings, the fear, the worry or vice versa! Some good emotion.

I can't relate to desperation

My 'give a fucks' are on vacation

And I got this one boy

And he won't stop calling

When they act this way,I know I got em'.

I got thoughts that Will might have been alienating Mike and that suddenly, he was trying to ignore him, not communicate and say he didn't need to talk to him, but Mike was still trying to talk to Will every time and try to figure out about the same pattern, about their relationship with each other. Maybe just from the realization that Mike cared, that their conversation wouldn't lead them to a dead end and Will and talk to Mike.

I parsed it out a bit and it all sounds like the ramblings of a crazy person, but it's just as a suggestion since I found the text very interesting here....

wait. Does your uncle work on Stranger Things or something?

yes he works to build the sets and help with props so he does a lot of behind the scenes work
