college byler and they're at a party and both absolutely smashed drunk and maybe will is a little less drunk than mike and mike is literally slurring his words and he ends up just impulsively kissing will in some hallway and then he starts to cry and he looks like he's about to throw up and then he-

"𝘨𝘰𝘥 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭, 𝘪 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘩 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘢 𝙜𝙞𝙧𝙡"

"henry, i 𝙩𝙤𝙡𝙙 you, this 𝙙𝙤𝙚𝙨𝙣'𝙩 work."

thats how old will looked when he was being shot at and dealing with insane internalised homophobia

thats how old mike looked when he was depressed and anxious all the time from missing will and el

thats how old el looked when she was being bullied at school and was taken back into the hands of her abuser and forced to relive traumatic memories

thats how old lucas looked when he had to watch his girlfriend die in his arms and defend himself from racist assholes

thats how old max looked when she was being targeted by vecna while dealing with the grief of billy dying and her stepdad leaving and her mom being an alcoholic

“Women, they have minds, and they have souls, just as well as hearts. And they've got ambition, and they've got talent, just as well as beauty. I'm so sick of people saying that love is just all a woman is fit for.”

- Jo March, Little Women

what is this variant called?? Upside down under?? Yeah that works

In Ballarat, Will is like super stupidly keen to do those sovereign hill and 'makes' Mike do it (Mike pretends to hate it. He does not)

Okay this does not work with the idea of them being Victorians but if they were in Sydney, Will would've absolutely been a nipper

In the water EVERY weekend

And Mike would not have realised the significance of this until they were about 16 and he properly saw Will surfing for the first time and just died

Mike absolutely eats up those channel 7 type shows, especially Bondi Rescue and Home & Away

Will, a Neighbours devotee, makes relentless fun of him for this

But he secretly loves Home & Away

Mike's the type of guy to say "[blank] was robbed at the brownlows!"

Mike looooooves Vegemite. Will looooooves lamingtons.

And Anzac biscuits

Will genuinely that Mike gets onions on his snags. Mike in turn calls him un Australian

They go to Bunnings for materials for Will's art projects - it's always "fifteen minutes". Mike, after lasting an hour and a half, spends another 60 minutes buying out the snags

Mike was an avid Play School and Octonaughts. Will was an avid Mister Maker and In the Night Garden watcher. They have a shared love of Giggle and Hoot

When Will was little, he saw Mister Maker live routinely. Mister Maker was his first crush, something that only strengthened when he was a volunteer for one of his shows.

Will always had a bucket hat, Mike had one of those ones that came down the sides (like a sun protection one).

They were both SMITTEN for Kyle from the Inbestegators.

They both watch The Voice together. Always.

The Wheelers are from Melbourne, no doubt about it, but I feel like the Byers originate from South Australia and then moved to Sydney
