Sometimes I think it's just scary to open up like that. To say how you really feel. Especially to people you care about the most. Because what if... what if they don't like the truth? // Sometimes people don’t really say what they’re really thinking. But, you capture the right moment… it says more. // I didn't say it. // You didn't have to.
[remake of my very first gifset one year later]

Byler Week Day 2 — 80s films
so i had been seeing a lot of people i follow talking abt Star Wars/Stranger Things comparisons this last week so that felt like... a fun idea + for an extra dose of Nerd™ this is specifically based on a Return of the Jedi trading card (hence the border + text) from 1983
#bylerweek2023#Day 2 80s Films#byler#byler art#mike wheeler#will byers#stranger things#sam draws shit#i worked on my byler week stuff very out of order so i did not realize until now i did kisses two days in a row. whoops#also i ALMOST did the back of the card too but i got tired#also last time i jokingly did smthn with them as hanleia i had will as leia and mike as han so i wanted to switch it up. for funsies

DUFFER BROTHERS PAY HOMAGE TO THE FIRST GAY KISS IN FILM WITH BYLER IN S5 CHALLENGE
#stranger things#byler#duffer brothers#st writers#st5 predictions#movie inspo#I don’t want a direct parallel or anything#I’ll take the smallest most minuscule parallel and the film nerd in me will die happy#also I haven’t watched the movie so I don’t really know what it’s about#however one random fact I did find reading up on it#is that the scenes in the day have yellow/sepia coloring#while the scenes at night have dark blue/black coloring#which is cool…#also low key the one kissing the other literally looks like Will/Noah#the resemblance in this shot is actually terrifying

Honestly i'm between feeling to crying and be upset now because i don't if tomorrow lokius will be canon or not
Or be happy and exited but i don't want to hope it so much
Then i remember Loki words "Hope is hard"
But I hope it so much for other ships like Destiel and Aziracrow and Merthur and Byler
(I hope Aziracrow and Byler will go well too)
Anyway
MANIFESTING FOR LOKIUS CANON
#In whaterver form it will be#And function#But also with a kiss#Because i want them to kiss so bad#Or having loki to propose to Mobius#I don't care#manifesting#lokius canon#Manifesting for lokius canon#🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️#lokius#destiel#aziracrow#merthur#byler#Hope is hard

everyone wants byler’s first kiss to be a rain kiss but i have to disagree. i don’t really like big dramatic kisses especially if it’s in the middle of an argument or one of them is trying to shut the other up because it feels cheesy and rushed so hear me out
i need them to be sitting down somewhere alone where it’s quiet and where no one else is around so they can talk and let everything out. they’ll both finally realise their feelings for each other AND the audience will find out that this has been building up the entire time as well. i want it to be the most beautiful “it’s always been you” moment even if they don’t say those words exactly. the audience should just know that this has been planned from the start and it’ll be the most incredibly written slowburn ship
i want to see tears in mike and will’s eyes as they finally realise how much they love each other. and maybe they could add a few little flashbacks here to show the audience what memories they’re thinking of because it’ll make it even more emotional. then when will notices that mike is starting to cry (something he rarely sees since mike always bottles up his emotions), he puts his hand on his face and tries to wipe his tears, but then he also starts crying himself and they both laugh quietly for a moment for making each other cry. after that, they just look at each other and lean in a little bit to show that they’re both ready and comfortable. AND THEN they slowly pull in and have the sweetest kiss. like are you kidding me that’s the most beautiful and wholesome thing ever
and then after they pull away from each other, they press their foreheads together and they’re crying because they can’t believe they finally made it to this moment and get to be with the person they love most. mike asks if his kiss was that bad to try and make will laugh because he’s still crying and will jokingly says it was pretty bad even though they both know that’s not true. then mike asks will if he’ll promise to always stay by his side because he’s so terrified of losing him again and will just says “yes” (this is obviously a parallel to the day they first met when mike asked will to be his friend and will said “yes” and then mike said it was the best thing he’s ever done. I’M GONNA CRY). then mike kisses will’s forehead and pulls him in for the tightest hug and they just sit there holding onto each other
#byler#mike wheeler#will byers#ok yeah this is also a little cheesy but it’s beautiful#pls duffer bros and stranger things writers I AM BEGGING#and i prefer when both people look at each other and make sure they’re ready and comfortable before a first kiss#because they would both be so nervous and if a kiss just happens suddenly without warning it could be overwhelming#i mean don’t get me wrong sometimes the surprise kisses work SO well#but with these two i think it’ll just be more beautiful and special if it’s done in a softer and more quiet moment#where they can both look at each other and say yeah i want to do this#like that’s just so sweet to me

ok i am ready to be spicy. so i made this post the other day (or yesterday what is time) without tags: (with some slight word changes)
"oh, I get it now. I think I understand a big reason why the "Mike is in love with Will but just doesn't want to admit it because he has internalized homophobia" is such a popular fandom opinion. Because then Mike's behavior becomes "obviously" romantic since this take assumes that he's aware of his behavior.
The take that he's "simply oblivious, simply doesn't know his feelings are actually romantic in nature", which -- in my opinion -- is much more heavily supported by the text, is... actually kind of scary to consider from a "wanting the ship to be canon" perspective. Because it's pretty much close to saying that his feelings are actually just platonic after all because that's what Mike thinks they are."
So, I have been thinking very hard on this for a while because I do think that this is why there is a sort of...friction? anxiety? in the general vibes of the fandom with regards to how byler can even work out in S5 after the events of S4.
In my opinion, I think that the second take -- Mike is oblivious -- actually lends itself well to the prospect of official, no ways around it endgame byler better than the first one does.
Because imagine it: Mike doesn't have to suffer through thinking he's wrong or he's a mistake or that he's not conforming to society's standards before coming to terms with his feelings. He just has to realize he's in love with his best friend, and that his best friend is in love with him. Mike is going to be the out, loud, and proud person of this relationship. He just has to figure his shit out.
First, what do we know about Mike so far and what can we take away from it? and why is it not "internalized homophobia"?
The biggest evidence for me against the "internalized homophobia" take is in S1 when Will was being called names by Troy and friend. Mike physically retaliated. He didn't look ashamed; he looked angry. Because they were insulting his missing best friend right in front of him. He was not internalizing these slurs. What he was doing was defending Will, who was the target of this hate. He prioritized defending Will, who wasn't even there, over cowing to displays of homophobia.
What about that "It's not my fault you don't like girls" line? Surely that means he's repressed and internalizing some shit? Yeah, and maybe he was just talking faster than his mind could think? Mike ends up clarifying this line and gives away the actual thing that's holding him back: heteronormative thinking. He talks about getting girlfriends as part of growing up as a young man. He says this like a neutral piece of information.
Let's talk about Mike's fears. So far, all of Mike’s insecurities are about being needed, being useful. It's not conforming to society. It's not fitting the mold. If he feared that then he'd have done what Lucas did and joined a popular group. But what did he do? He leaned into his DnD hobby and even started dressing differently, growing his hair out too. S4 Mike is not afraid to be an outcast.
What he does fear most is people leaving him behind. That's what he says about/to El, and that's practically what he says to Will as his excuse for being weird at the airport. The knock-off outfit, the flowers. That wasn't him trying to be straight so he wouldn't be outed as gay or in love with his best friend or whatever. That was his attempt at saving his relationship because he does love El and he doesn't want to lose her too. But they are incompatible. He doesn't realize he doesn't love her romantically but he does love her. That's why he's struggling. Because he can't differentiate between the two.
Lastly, he says to Will: "I feel like I lost you". Which means he felt like he already lost Will. Loving someone and losing them is something Mike never wants to happen again because it already happened once, twice, three times before with Will. Once when Will vanished, the second time when Will got possessed, and the third time when Will moved away. Mike's issue isn't about loving Will and fearing he's gay; it's about losing Will again.
The bolded part is the one I want to highlight because it's the most important piece of the puzzle imo. I am willing to bet that not wanting to lose Will again is going to be a huge part of Mike’s arc in S5 and is going to lead to him finally realizing his feelings. I honestly don't think Will's confession is going to figure into things at all until Mike's realized his feelings. Because the audience has to see Mike fall in love with Will before he figures out Will loves him back. The audience should not be made to think that Mike only falls in love with Will because Will's in love with him.
But how will Mike realize exactly the difference between his love for Will and his love for El if he's this goddamn oblivious? How will the process even start? El has to break up with him. No other way around it. El has to tell him straight up that she does not believe he is in love with her. Only then can Mike be free to even think about what romantic love actually means to him. I imagine this is where he and Nancy will actually get to talk about something substantial again, when he asks her what being in love means. and that will further get the ball rolling. And I believe however his arc plays out, we will get to see Mike and Will definitively end up together.
Because Mike loves Will so much. He isn't quite aware of what this love is yet but he has it in abundance. That is why he was the only one apart from Joyce who pushed for finding Will initially; that is why he is always the first to apologize when he and Will fight; that is why the best thing he's ever done was ask Will to be his friend; that is why he lashed out at Will at the roller rink; that is why he was so over the moon about Will's painting and Will's words in the van that he ironically didn't even see Will crying; that is why he only said his monologue after Will practically told him to.
Will is and continues to be Mike's most important person. Once Mike realizes he's in love with Will and the feeling is mutual? Homophobia can go suck a tail pipe because how dare this concept make the love of his life feel like a mistake? Mike is going to kiss Will as soon he realizes because he is not going to let anyone make him wait a minute longer before kissing the boy of his dreams.
sneaky edit: the underlined parts are links to other analyses i've done before regarding Mike's behavior. Analyses over the airport/roller rink scene, him being oblivious, his love for El, etc!
#this is.... very long#absolutely the longest post i have ever written#it's not as concise or as pinpointed as i wanted it to be#but that's fine. I'm laying it all out there#ku blarghs#strangely blogging#byler#this is a great starting off point for my planned predictions post too#and as is the norm for my posts... links abound...#also i know i am very confidence and 100% hope personified in this post#because i am. i am confident. not about the specifics. but i am 100% they are going to kiss#you guys can be worried about it being canon it's ok. i have enough confidence and hope for all of us lmao

my little sister decided that she wanted to watch IT 2017 so I popped it on for her, and she pointed at richie and went "is that Mike from stranger things?" and I was like yeah it's the same actor and then she points to Eddie and goes "so is that will then?"
I can't tell if she can't tell will and Eddie apart or if she clocked richies crush on Mike before I told her
#shes a little child so its full possibility she cant tell them apart#also she knows about wills crush on mike she thinks theyll be boyfriends but shouldnt kiss cause she thinks kissing is gross#the mind of a 8 year old is a wonder...#dw i skipped over scary parts in the movie she just really wanted to watch a horror#ligit walked up to me in the park and was like can we watch something scary at home?? and i was like...really#i tried gravity falls for her but nah she wanted pennywise#richie tozier#eddie kaspbrak#reddie#IT 2017#will byers#mike wheeler#byler#stranger things

“Mike is so straight all straight men act like this” people on reddit are so funny to me because oh ok I guess all straight guys are always 2 seconds away from passionately kissing the homies with tongue. good to know.
#stranger things#byler#st shitposts#mike wheeler#this is also funny bc I DO know a lot of Straight guys who ARE always 2 seconds away from kissing the homies#would actually MAYBE respect the straight Mike truthers more if instead of insisting ‘he doesn’t look at will differently he doesn’t look#like he wants to kiss him’ they instead went#‘Mike is just a really progressive straight guy who wants to kiss the homies goodnight and he wants to kiss will goodnight the most bc he#knows will has nightmares about the ud’

In s5 when Mike and Will are having their big final boss argument and Will says, Just forget it, Mike! It’s not your fault, okay!?!!
#byler#st5#st5 predictions#like it could be in any context of their fight#having nothing to do with the implications of that line in s3#and yet bc that same line in s3 was a blurt of sorts#the parallel would just hit you the instant it hits mike 😭#idk I’m excited for the s5 fight…#I feel like it’s gonna come after an almost kiss in a previous episode#and then lead up to their first kiss…#like final boss fight has to end in a kiss I’m sorry it just has to#or lead up to a kiss#how else are they going to do a third and final fight and not make it feel repetitive#it needs to end with results this time!!#at the very least give us an almost kiss with interruption (human or supernatural idc)#also I want tears and yelling and 🥺

As a bisexual I headcanon Mike as gay for the sole reason of I know in my head what kind of soul-crushing, heart-exploding earth-shattering, emotionally-distressing feelings I feel abt the guys and girls I’ve liked, and I know for a fact he’s never felt like that about any girl in his chaotic little lifetime
#byler#mike wheeler#gay mike vs bi mike#am I projecting? a little yes#is that okay? also yes#am I right? to me#am I right to bi mike truthers? nope#and that’s okie dokies#headcanon that curly little shit whatever your heart desires#as long as we all agree that he does in fact want to kiss will byers we’re vibing
