and we kissed as though nothing could fall

mike wheeler is pampering the birthday boy's nose and entire face with kisses as you read this

the worst thing ever about byler not happening is that this just means will was used to prop up milevens heterosexual relationship and that all this really was was him slowly watching his best friend morph into an asshole who didn’t have time for him anymore when they grew up

the way the duffers wrote a scene between steve and jonathan to resolve their conflict – that, mind you, consisted on them fighting over a girl and that was already resolved given that said girl had stated that she didn’t want neither of them – but had to be asked by an actor to add a scene to give some sort of resolution to mike and will’s friendship by having mike apologize for being lowkey homophobic to his best friend throughtout seasons while also having will give him an easy way out by stating it was all necessary for him to accept himself!

the fact the duffer brothers gave noah the painting, which was a reminder of will's unrequited love being used to uplift a poorly written and toxic relationship between two people who NEVER truly understood each other and didn't even end up together, as a wrap gift is straight up cruel and spiteful and heartless by the way. "what more could you want?" they dared asking noah about will's story when they hadn't even planned to write will and mike's "closure" scene and noah had to fight for that, for the BARE MINIMUM. fuck them and their homophobic asses.

Wow do you outcasts feel empowered or what

they could’ve denied that byler was happening YEARS ago btw but they decided to string us along for profit
