Mind you, Gaten is straight with a girlfriend.

The chokehold of conventionality in a fanbase of a show about outsiders, non-conforming, and acceptance is insane. I have to wonder sometimes how people are so oblivious to a story, that they’ll watch these shows so surface level.

It's not supposed to be about him. It's a moment about Lucas and Max: they're bickering cutely, as Dustin tries to radio his girlfriend.

This scene is about relationships. The relationship between Dustin and Suzie, and the relationship between Lucas and Max. Even the "ghost" of Mike and El's relationship as they're notably absent.

Will isn't in a relationship; he's the only party member who isn't at this point in the story.

And yet, the lens focuses on Will for just a brief moment.

Look at the wistfulness in his expression. The admiration. The quiet ache. He wants this so bad. To be loved, and to love someone in return without fear.

He even continues to watch them as they walk away together, hand in hand.

Will Byers is the most romantic character in Stranger Things.

And that's my biggest "byler proof" (because everyone has their favorite evidence) — romantic characters are supposed to find love.

He's been written as a loverboy and romantic hero. There's only one way to go from there. Predicting a romantic union between Mike and Will is just basic pattern recognition and media literacy, as we've stated many times before.

the leather jacket ??? are you kidding me ???

something something about how incredibly suspicious these look

thinking about how they purposely made rink o mania look like the gay bar…

yeah look at my parallels dawg my ship is gonna be endgame.

And every time we exit Will's POV of Byler,

Mike is looking at him
