Jonathan and Argyle in the front seat: Sleep deprived, stoned, have been driving for hours looking for El

Mike and Will in the back seat: 500k words, childhood friends to lovers, slowburn, minor angst, hurt/comfort.

remember when nancy couldn't say "i love you" to steve so she sat on the car with jonathan to have a heart-to-heart conversation.

and remember when mike couldn't say "i love you" to el so he sat on the car with will to have a heart-to-heart conversation.

and the fact that wheelers are on the left and byers on the right and there are soda cans in both scenes. wheelers are opening up about their feeling while byers are hearing and comforting them... come on! that has to mean something!

jonathan definitely looked at these two and got major deja vu bc wtf😭😭

THE SAME BYERS/WHEELER PLACEMENT AND EVERYTHING??

I think I’ve seen this before

And I liked the ending

byler + jancy parallels

EEEEEEKKKKKK!!!

"We're just friends" *looks at your lips longingly*

someone pointed this parallel out on twitter and now i'm going to think about it forever.

STRANGER THINGS (2016-)

S1E6: The Monster S2E2: Trick or Treat, Freak S4E4: Dear Billy

i want a frantic byler kiss i want jancy and jopper parallels i want them about to separate as the world is ending i want mike to pull will into a quick kiss and when he pulls back they both look shocked i want him to start saying “i’m sor—” but before he can will is kissing him again i want them to clutch each other like nothing else matters i want them to pull away completely breathless i want mike to whisper “please dont make me have another funeral” i want will to kiss him gently one more time “for luck” i want them to fight henry with a new intensity because they have something important to fight for i want them to reunite and just hold each other sobbing and shaking in the aftermath but alive alive alive i want them to hold hands and drink in each others faces bc they’ve never been allowed to look this deeply before i want i want i want

hi this is your friendly reminder that all of the endgame ships (jancy, lumax, byler, jopper) have a very clear parallel between all of them that mlvn very clearly does not have. 

in s1, nancy gets stuck in the ud, calls out for jonathan, and is pulled out and into jonathan’s arms. 

in s2, will is stuck in one of his ud episodes, calls out for mike, and is pulled out and into mike’s arms. 

in s2, hopper is stuck in the ud tunnels, and inevitably gets saved by joyce (who had been calling out his name) 

in s4, max is in a trance, calls out for lucas first, and gets pulled out by lucas’s knowledge of what her favorite song is and falls into his arms. 

and in s1…el is stuck in the ud, calls out for mike, and gets out completely on her own. 

so. what does that say about them? 

tfw: you're in love with a Wheeler in a happy relationship

Jonathan Byers in S02E02 - Trick or Treat, Freak Will Byers in S04E09 - The Piggyback

byler constantly parallels jancy and jopper and even at times lumax. milevens don't want to talk about the fact that their ship constantly parallels stancy, a canonically failed ship (no season 4 wasn't setting them up to get back together), and the dart and dustin dynamic

“i’m gonna get you home, okay?”

*gets her home*

Just a reminder that these two scenes happened less than 5 minutes apart

And the Jancy scene, which ended with them going to sleep in their beds next to each other

Was followed directly by this scene showing that Mike slept over on the floor beside Will

The Wheelers’ stories are all about trying to love somebody just because it’s what they should do, even though their heart belongs to somebody else.

The Byers’ stories are about feeling like they can’t be loved at all, and being proven wrong and given all the love they deserve.

And that’s why Mike and Will are gonna kiss okay sorry bye🫡
