watching byler and mleven scenes back to back actually puts things more in perspective and it’s making me laugh because...most byler scenes have always been treated way more seriously and with more emotional depth than mleven scenes. theres just so much more tension and intimacy evident between them and it gets 10x doubled in their heart to hearts in season 4 while mleven remains either being played for laughs or having pretty surface level conversations until they actually have a realer fight? like...byler really isnt that much of a secret at all, its being developed right in front of our eyes 😭

no cause imagine mike and el talking to each other with the same level of tension in the desert heart to heart or even just having a single conversation that is as deep and serious as that, or even mike opening up to el the way he does with will...you can’t, can you? because mleven scenes are never handled or treated with as much care as byler scenes 😴

#ik we all know this but byler feels even more of a built up relationship than mlvn #i realized this specifically after seeing a twt thread of ranking byler moments #and it made me think...how come we have such a wide variety of byler scenes even more so than mlvn scenes #like we have the hospital scene the arcade scene with mike breaking will out of his trance #the scene where mike sleeps over at will’s the double date in the movies #the s3 ending with hopper’s words matching up with mike’s feelings about his relationship with will #mike looking longingly at his desk mike hugging his mom as he cries over will with heroes playing in the bg #mike taking will to his basement while sheilding him from everyone #not to mention an entire storyline of will gifting mike a painting that comes with his romantic feelings for him?#they have all these really classic and trope-y moments that actually feels like a build up to an inevitable couple #while mlvn gets the bare minimum or little to nothing each season? 😭#like lets be real here they barely have anything to work from aside from pivotal moments like the snow ball #thats why they like to complain about the duffers oweing them more cute moments...because they barely have any LMFAO #like constant make out scenes and a “date” where both of them are putting up an act arent exactly that much...#or a scene where neither of them can come to a mutual understanding and mike dances around the word “love”#while el cluelessly tries to figure out what hes talking about and its overall just a very comedic conversation #anyways. sorry but how do people not see this. mlvn is so bones...#byler #byler proof
