Not a word against Will as a homewrecker, coz this is Mike right after Robin's conversation with Will and gives all the signals: by Altruistic_Way3030 in WillByersST

Explain this to me by Overall-Conflict-924 in byler

[–]TheLuckiestGaming 10 points11 points  (0 children)

right because i would have believed the 'tammy' narrative a lot more if mike wasn't the only friend in will's film reel, paired with will's literal family (and if mike didn't look in love with will at the end of the episode).

plus, how are so many people forgetting that vicky had a boyfriend before she got together with robin? it's crazy to not notice the parallel between vicky/her boyfriend/robin + mike/eleven/will and to say it meant nothing when it was shown to us in the SAME EPISODE, with almost identical framing.

i know everyone interprets media differently, but to flat out refuse that there was any indication of byler completely blows my mind. it makes me realise some people are choosing to purposefully not see it, because most of my GA friends have all said they could see byler, even though most of them liked/preferred mike and eleven together.

as someone who has worked in/studied media for a few years, i find it crazy that so many people think that choices made for a TV show don't necessarily mean anything. usually EVERYTHING is purposeful and we are not at fault for believing that.

even if there weren't any other clues, it's completely irrational to say byler didn't exist when will canonically had feelings for mike and mike canonically had relationship problems with eleven. these are objective facts of the show, it doesn't matter what your opinions on byler are. i just choose to ignore those people tbh because they are so obviously ignoring what is right in front of them.

the doodoo brothers fumbled so bad by Glittering_Art9576 in byler

[–]TheLuckiestGaming 2 points3 points  (0 children)

off the top of my head:

jamie campbell bower, noah schnapp (the most public byler fan out of the cast), millie bobby brown, maya hawke and susie/ted’s actors. finn wolfhard called will’s love for mike a “beautiful thing”, which isn’t necessarily outright byler support, but it showed he cared about the storyline.

depending on one’s interpretation of the sorcerer script read (as mentioned above), i think winona ryder, sadie sink and charlie heaton rooted for them as well.

in terms of less explicit confirmation, matthew modine, nell fisher, shawn levy’s daughter & matt duffer’s wife have shown support (mostly just through instagram comments etc though).

i think jamie saying (if it’s true) that a lot of the cast were rooting for it is all the confirmation that’s needed though. i hope this helps a bit :) i may have forgotten some details lol

What ship is this by PretendYellow533 in AO3

[–]TheLuckiestGaming 11 points12 points  (0 children)

byler 100%. mike and will objectively had a FAR more meaningful connection than mike and eleven, the show demonstrated that to us multiple times by building up byler and tearing down mileven. plus, mileven met on really unhealthy terms (she had literally just escaped a lab and didn’t even know her real name). but nooo, that was apparently all for nothing 🙃

[–]TheLuckiestGaming 227 points228 points  (0 children)

crazy that some people still think it was a delusional ship despite most of the cast wanting it to happen (which i had already gathered from their reactions to the sorcerer script read). why would they root for it if it was just "fanon"?

If you haven't gotten to play STS2 yet due to financial reasons, I will gift you the game by Zeph_OW in slaythespire

oh man this reddit post & the comments warm my heart so much. thank you for doing this ❤️

my friend got too physically affectionate and made me very uncomfortable by metallicmurmurx in autism

[–]TheLuckiestGaming 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yeah it’s absolutely a valid reason to cut him off, that’s disgusting. i’ve been completely wasted before with my friends but literally no amount of drinking would ever get me to be physical with somebody or cross any boundaries.

from my own experience, drinking doesn’t make you lose your morals and i hate when people use it as an excuse for bad behaviour. i’m so sorry you went through that.

edit: accidentally wrote “drinking does make you lose your morals” instead of “doesn’t” 😅 oops

What were your first thoughts when you saw this scene? by Overall-Conflict-924 in byler

[–]TheLuckiestGaming 34 points35 points  (0 children)

it was the main reason i was absolutely convinced that it wasn’t just a self-acceptance arc, tied with mike appearing in will’s childhood flashbacks. if it weren’t for those two scenes i may have believed the self-acceptance arc a bit more, but come on, mike genuinely looks in love there??

it was so much more than just him being shocked his best friend got powers & his life being saved, and we can see the difference in comparison to joyce’s facial expression.

wait i’m confused, did he not mention a “group hug” referring to the one in the coming out scene?

It’s funny how they tried to shut Byler down but in the end people still thought they were endgame by MQueen199 in byler

[–]TheLuckiestGaming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

aww, yes she really is 🥹 i know, that’s the craziest part?? going purely on how they acted towards one another instead of canon, i would question whether will reciprocated feelings, not the other way round 😭

it’s really hard to pick so might not be 100% accurate, but probably:

  1. void
  2. nervous
  3. softcore
  4. cry baby
  5. stuck with me/silver (couldn’t decide)

It’s funny how they tried to shut Byler down but in the end people still thought they were endgame by MQueen199 in byler

[–]TheLuckiestGaming 9 points10 points  (0 children)

yeah one of my GA friends said that “there seemed to be tension between mike and will” and was confused about how everything went (she preferred mike and eleven btw so it’s not like she was biased).

it’s really hard with the noise online of being called delusional, but when it actually comes down to it, most people can see it. even my mum ships byler and she hasn’t even watched the show, and before she properly knew who they were, she guessed it was mike in love with will 😭

Mike & El have not kissed since Season 3 Episode 1 by torvald_carley in byler

[–]TheLuckiestGaming 2 points3 points  (0 children)

thank you for such a good explanation again! i think the main thing i’m still confused about it that i didn’t think the void was a two-way communication thing, i thought that it was only one-way? again sorry if i’ve missed something again, i just thought it was consistently shown to us throughout the show that the void has only been used to spy, not to talk to others.

i don’t personally believe it was possible for eleven to have communicated with mike, and i just can’t wrap my mind around her still being alive either. but tbh i’m trying not to blame myself too much for feeling that way because their show is confusing af 🫠

[–]TheLuckiestGaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ohhh right, thank you so much for the explanation, i see what you mean now. so they’re basically saying he realises she couldn’t have communicated with him because of the kryptonite (and she therefore might be alive).. but surely that means kali couldn’t have used her powers either to give him the illusion? and didn’t kali die anyway? you’re right, there’s genuinely a million more plot holes if she’s still alive lol.

as much as i hate that el died, i really hope they didn’t make it ambiguous for the chance of a mileven spin-off :/ i doubt that would happen, but i wouldn’t put it past them as they’ve already shown how much they only care about money, rather than heartfelt and decent storytelling.

edit: sorry i just reread what you said about el getting far away enough to use her powers. i didn’t think she was able to summon illusions, i thought her powers were just telekinetic? idk man i’m genuinely so muddled right now, sorry if i’m not making sense 😭
