can you tell this is my first meme

What would upset me most about a romantic love monologe to El would be their lesbian/gay characters getting dust. Oh Will is the gay kid with an unrequited crush nothing ground breaking there. Robin can't ask out the girl she wants to. Valid, but she is sadly pining from afar. And Eddie(hanky code being confirmed?) who, if they kill off would be bury your gays. Where is the happiness in these stories? Their m/f ships get to kiss,be affectionate and say/show their love. What about them? :(

I hear what you're saying, but don't lose sight of the time period. The 1980s weren't a good time to be gay. That's not to say that gay people didn't live happy, fulfilling lives where they were accepted by their families, but they did face challenges, and it is important to underscore that this show isn't Heartstopper in that regard.

Having said that, yes, I do agree that from a media perspective it would be disappointing if they did not go down the path of Mike/Will. Something that has recently occurred to me, though, is that the writing does show a lot of affection for these characters. They don't suffer needlessly. When we look at the Mike/El/Will debacle, you could feasibly say that Mike and Will are suffering for similar reasons (feelings, identity), whereas a lot of El's suffering is more macro (morality). I've maintained that El and Mike will go their separate ways and it will be because they don't need each other to find their happiness - they can do that alone (as in El's case) or with someone else (Mike and Will). Just my two cents, but I do think they will give the characters a happy ending because that is fundamentally what the show is about.

Regarding the characters you mentioned, I disagree with Eddie. I get the handkerchief thing, but this is small-town Indiana; and there was a lot of textual evidence to suggest that he and Chrissy might have, in another life, been in a romantic relationship. The Breakfast Club was cited as an influence for S04 and Eddie/Chrissy's dynamic is clearly Claire/Bender. I'm sorry, but I don't see gay Eddie being a thing in canon - in fanon, though, hell yeah, go for it.

I would say that ST does deal with unexpected romance well, though, and particularly that romance which might be considered marginalised. Max and Lucas, for instance, are in an interracial relationship, and you can see across S02-3 that they are becoming aware of race as a factor in their relationship. I personally think Lumax was the standout of this season, and I believe it's down to how their story played out - they really came full circle.

Sidebar, it's interesting how Mike is consistently amazed that he has to deal with "mature" and "adult" situations/arguments in his relationship with El, when arguably Max and Lucas have been dealing with that for far longer, and better, and they're the same age. But I digress.

Regarding Robin, she states in canon that she has to be careful. The writers are aware that she can't just march up to Vickie and ask her out - it's measured, considered, a situation where, if Robin isn't careful, she could even be in danger if word reached the wrong people. ST has never been about skipping into the sunset. It's always been about overcoming trials and finding who you are even if you will not/cannot be accepted by other people. In that respect Will being gay fits perfectly within this thematic framework. So, tl;dr... I hear your frustration, but there is both evidence to support our happy endings plus some historically-accurate gay romance.
