netflix, when will you stop treating queer women like garbage

will byers haunting the narrative of milevens montage

will byers getting icked out caught 4k

i stand on the fact that the signals were there to tell a story. a story that should have had a happy ending, if netflix wasnt so scared.

the irony of mileven consistently paralleling both karen and ted and stancy (two, by the way, canonically TERRIBLE but normative couples) and then mike paralleling ted astounds me. and what makes it crazy, is that will byers will always haunt his narrative, as shown by the painting hanging next to him, and his crying while looking at wills binder.

maybe we didnt get a happy ending for byler, but i will stand my ground that the ending implies a tragic queer love story, where one gets to go be free and the other continues the heteronormative cycle, never leaving the closet.

mike wheeler, you will always be famous my son
