There is not NEARLY enough appreciation for how pivotal it was for El to be able to stand her ground against brenner multiple times while he was using all of his fucked up manipulation tactics and constantly triggering her past trauma.
And then, like the queen she is, el actively chose to not forgive him and say she understood him just bc he was dying. All she said was “goodbye, papa.” Acknowledging their relationship for what it has been, and refusing to let him guilt her into putting up with his abuse anymore. That was SUCH a powerful scene and we should talk abt it more bc as someone who’s been abused, I actually CRIED I was so proud of her.
So TIRED of everyone only focusing on the Mike part of El’s s4 arc, she was so fucking amazing this season and finally found her independence from the manipulative, and in brenner’s case ABUSIVE, men in her life. I love Mike but this ain’t abt him anymore. I’m done with El’s arc being abt him in any way.

i keep seeing on tiktok under byler edits in the comments people saying how they will be embarassed and apologise to milkvans if byler won't be endgame and i'm aware they're mostly jokes but i still wanted to come here and say-
i won't be.
i won't be embarassed.
i won't be embarassed for wanting a gay kid in the 80's to have an actual happy ending
i won't be embarassed for wanting a queer character to be happy
i won't be embarassed for wanting Will to have his happy ending and to end up with the love of his life, to love and be loved by the boy of his dreams, to finally find happiness and love after everything he's been through like he fucking deserves
i won't be embarassed for wanting Mike to be with someone who actually makes him feel good about himself instead of insecure who loves him not the idea of him like he fucking deserves
i won't be embarassed for wanting El to be independent instead of stuck in a relationship where she isn't loved for who she actually is and is only idolized and put on pedestal for her powers, for wanting her to find she is more than just her powers and is loved for who she is as a person like she fucking deserves
i won't be embarassed for thinking byler endgame + independent El is the only satisfying ending to their arcs because it is
i'm pretty confident in this ending (the doubt will set 5 minutes before finally watching s5) but even if for some reason it will not end this way i refuse to be embarassed for wanting a better ending for all three of them
it's the duffers who should be embarassed for being such shitty writers
and no i will not apologise to milkvans for "disrespecting their ship" cause no matter what they would do with them their relationship still sucks and i won't stop shipping byler cause that's the only satisfying ending for me
and canon having a shitty ending won't change my mind (the opposite actually)
so no i won't be embarassed for being delusional even if for some weird reason byler won't be endgame and neither should you
thanks for your attention<3

Mike saying "you can't let those mouth breathers ruin us" is extremely suspicious given the context. Keep in mind this was right after the "from Mike, from Mike from Mike from from from" line, so obviously it wasn't other people that was the issue. This means MIKE feels like other people are the ones getting in between them. MIKE is the one that feels as though he's constantly being scrutinized by others. MIKE is the one trying to prove something to people. And he's projecting this onto El since she talked about how different she is, because he also feels like he's someone not worth loving due to him being different.
El, on the other hand, never felt like other people were the problem, Mike was always her issue. Because to her, Mike thought the same things about her that strangers did, "everyone looks at me like I'm a monster. You think I'm a monster too". It wasn't what other people thought of her, but what Mike thought that bothered her so much. She lied to him for months because she didn't want him to think less of her, not other people. She pretended she had friends and went to parties because she didn't want him to see how different she was. It was never about other people. It was about her hiding herself from him out of fear of him not loving her for who she really is.
Neither Mike nor El feel happy or loved in their relationship. In fact, they both make each other feel worse about themselves. Neither of them have bad intentions or are even fully aware they make each other feel this way, they simply don't understand one another. They don't communicate properly, nor are they fully honest with each other.
This whole thing reeks of a future break-up.

I hope that they give scenes to Jonathan Byers that Charlie Heaton can smash so that he gets the love and praise that he deserves. Really just the whole Byers-Hopper family because I love them and they deserve the world. ❤️

Whatever you do, don't imagine Lonnie showing up in season 5 and asking Will, "So, was I right?" And no one really understands what he means and everyone is confused at first but Will understands right away and he just immediately freezes and looks away and Lonnie sees his internal panicking and he just laughs loudly and he says, "so I was right. You are a [insert homophobic name here]." And Will just stands there with his head down trying not to break down in front of everyone and then Jonathan and Joyce and Hopper and Mike are ready to square up and literally take Lonnie on with their bare hands but before they can Lonnie goes flying through the air and El (who doesn't know what homophobia is) steps forward and says, "I'm not sure what your words mean, but you are hurting Will, and no one hurts my brother." And Lonnie runs away scared out of his life and Mike runs up beside El yelling, "Yeah no so tough anymore huh?" And then all of them turn to Will and gather him in a group hug and tell him that he doesn't have to tell them anything but whether he's gay or not, they still love him and accept him.
And later on, when they run into Lonnie again, Will smashes something (his fist or another object) into his face, breaking his nose and convincing Lonnie to stay away forever. Everyone is amazed (Mike can't speak coherently for five minutes afterwards).

i just wanna start off by saying that this isnt a pro mileven rant, not a pro monologue tag, definitly not me saying that i think el and maxs relationship doesnt need more developement or ANYTHING LIKE THAT okay so if u are gonna feel like arguing just know that ill block u bc i really dont feel like arguing abt this
the take that saving max should be enough motivation for el makes me so sad. like obviously she wants to. but shes been thru literal hell and back and shes so exhausted.
can we do a recap? her dad dies. she needs to move away from everything she knows and has been learning to know for the past couple of years. she feels like a weirdo in this new place. she feels like her bf doesnt love her because he doesnt use words to show it and els used to being loved thru words only because thatsthe only way people loved her for most of her life becuase nobody every cared abt her enough to do anything else. now apart from this emotional stuff shes got going on, her already feeling like shit abt herself, this literal kid has once again the pressure to save everyone and everything. she goes back to being the lab subject she so badly fought to stop being, not to mention the man that made her life hell is there, watching it all and she needs to trust him fully. she goes thru seeing and reliving her awful childhood, when even people like her though she was a freak. she trusts henry, shes happy to know hes like her and they understand each other. only to realize hes the cause of all of the bad shit that has happened since she left the lab. but she still blames herself because shes the one who opened the gate in the first place. so basically all of her wounds reopened and her life is going to shit and everyone and everything she loves is in danger. and she now needs to save max. what the fuck is she suppoed to do?? theres this 15 year old girl who feels like and unlovable monster who is the cause of everything and anything bad. and now??? the life of her best friend???? is directly on her hands????
why is it so bad for her to need verbal confirmation that shes loved unconditionally, that shes strong, that she can do this, that shes not a monster? maybe you didnt like the monologue itself. maybe you dont like mileven. whatever. you can not like either. but going as far as saying that it was unecesary for her to recieve those kind of words?
not to point out again, that el has gained her strength from anger so far. this time, her strength is coming from love. shes fighting not out of spite, not out of repressed feelings, but out of love, out of wanting to be a superhero because she feels like living and loving.
idk people disliking that just makes me so sad.

Just thinking how much El would love haunted houses where she gets to scream and laugh and hide behind her friends at the creepy little figures. How she doesn’t need to be frontline defense in a life or death situation. Just silly fun where she feels protected when she huddles with her friends or when they grab her hands as they run through the shitty decorations.
