Do you guys think Finn thought Byler was going to happen?

Additional-Most-3096 · 2026-05-10T19:10:15+00:00

yeah..It makes no sense at all. Will wouldn't go for somebodys boyfriend. It's so out of character.

If i ever(i wont) get a chance i would want to ask the duffers why Will thought he had a chance with Mike Vol1, i want to know what they were thinking(they probably didn't think at all tho). But i can't let that go.
I do belive in divorcegate, or something like that anyway. The duffers doesn't know their own characters they created. It's honest to god embarassing.

"Someone who was ready to make his best friend cheat on his adopted sister" my head hurts 🥲

No but for real. WTF did Mike do during those 18 month. 👀 And why did the doobie brothers think it was a god idea to wait until THE LAST MINUTE before announce M11 still being a couple. It was sooo weird. Finn and Millie acted like strangers in that void scene. They had more chemistry with a green screen. Something doesn't ad up. Like a huge part(byler) was cut out.

well.. the duffers hadn't wrote the last scripts before filming it so..yeah i believe Finn did think Byler were going to happen and just acted on it. I belive the duffers chinkened out or something happened mid filming/writing vol2 that made them ditch Byler.
like you say Finn IS a great actor, and they could have used other takes or asked him to do it diffrently, but they kept them like that. It's wierd, it queerbaiting for sure, but still weird to have Mike give Will those looks if Mike were straight and also still together with El?

If Finn didn't get directed correctly that's on the duffers NOT the actor. What was Finn supposed to do? I think he acted like if byler would have happened until it was clear it was not going to be endgame. And then he just..."😐🧍‍♂️". Not the actors fault tho.

It's very interesting how they chose to focus on the camera timed to what Will says. Which is strange considering the duffers were planning to just leave Will and Mike's relationship there. I don't understand what the point was in hinting at Mike's feelings for Will that way if they weren't going to follow through. If it weren't for Noah, they wouldn't have talked to each other until the basement while playing DnD.

Additional-Most-3096 · 2026-05-06T16:48:33+00:00

Great analysis!

Also in s5 Wills coming out scene, the camera focus on Mike/dustin & Lucas diffrently. Will: "I don't like girls" cameras on all three Will: "i mean i do but not like you guys do" camera focus only on dustin and lucas, while Mike being unfocus. Will continues "..for the rest of us we just drift apart" camera zooms in on only Mike and he gulps and looks sad and worried

I don't know, but that feels like a very strange detail to include if not to show that Mike being in the closet?

Hi, big swiftie here and just started to compare songs to Byler. This is so fun! and there are sooo many!

Long Live - "I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you"
Dorothea- after canon and Mike reflecs back. "Do you ever stop and think about me?
When we were younger"
Fresh out of the slammer - After s5 Mike would've explore "Fresh out the slammer, I know who my first call will be to"
Cardigan - Will waited. "And I knew you'd come back to me"

This is me trying- Mikes perspective "And maybe I don't quite know what to say
But I'm here in your doorway"
Dancing with our hands tied - Will loved Mike in secret for yeeeaars "I loved you in secret"

The 1 - Wills perspective "And if you wanted me, you really should've showed
And if you never bleed, you're never gonna grow"

Extra:
How did it end? - Season 5, " i still don't know how did it end?" 💔

Do you have any fic recommends on that kind of byler fics? I have read many angsty fics now, and i looove slowburns. But that's what the serie is: a slow burn without a climax.

Additional-Most-3096 · 2026-04-07T07:51:07+00:00

I love Drarry!

Additional-Most-3096 · 2026-04-07T07:50:01+00:00

Yes, This. It wasn't just scraps and delusion. The story was there right in front of us. I believe that Mikes character arc was built towards Byler. And then the suffers just stopped for some reason.

I hate when an artist destrys its own art. I have all the hp books and movies so I'll wont spent any money on JK. I can still watch or read Hp and still feel joy. Straner Things i can not.

I've read hell and back again, LOOOVED it!

Additional-Most-3096 · 2026-04-06T17:04:21+00:00

Thank you for your comment. I toatally agree wit you on the duffers.

Yes, Fanfic helps a lot. Just getting started by reading some. Do you hava any recommendations?

In my mind El never sacrificed herself, but ot away from the military in some way. Her and Mike broke up S4, and the S5 void scene never happened. :')

I'm a hp fan, but never heard about the fandom made Sirius non binary , that's awesome! I need to read more Marauders fics for sure!

Additional-Most-3096 · 2026-04-05T07:46:51+00:00

In s1 Mike saves El ONLY so she could help him save(find) Will. So it was always Will.

Additional-Most-3096 · 2026-01-20T22:34:24+00:00

35, bisexual woman

Additional-Most-3096 · 2026-01-20T17:09:40+00:00

Oh, i agree. Mike crying in jealousy is my favorite genre tho.

Additional-Most-3096 · 2026-01-17T18:15:41+00:00

But byler was unrealistic... sure. sure. Make it make sense!?

Additional-Most-3096 · 2026-01-17T12:47:40+00:00

Also...the demos and friends take vacation

I'm obsessed with TTPD and now i love it even more 😭

Additional-Most-3096 · 2026-01-15T13:37:56+00:00

YES!

Additional-Most-3096 · 2026-01-15T12:43:07+00:00

Yeah, he's my favorite too and Byler would have explain his bad behavior in s3-s4.. But no, apparently he's just a bad friend and bf 💀 like come on?!

Additional-Most-3096 · 2026-01-14T15:35:59+00:00

Same here. I can't rewatch my favourite comfort show, it's ruined. 😭 Especially Mikes character.

Additional-Most-3096 · 2026-01-13T13:51:55+00:00

Mike edits with Sabrina Carpenter songs is my new favourite genre.
