it was a seven.

at the stage of byler grief where i just get really sad because it was literally all right there!!! They had to put MORE work into it NOT happening!!! And the fact is if Will was a girl they would have ended up together.

I consume so much byler fanon that I often forget that the canon story isn't meant to be a tragic queer story about Mike never coming out so that they get together in every universe but this one

reminder that the van scene was the first time in both their lives that Will lied to Mike and the first time Mike failed to notice what Will truly needed. do you guys ever think about that. do you guys ever think about how it was so catastrophic they fully never addressed it again. do you guys think about how their world literally fell apart when Mike and Will couldn’t be true to themselves or each other
