I hate to say it because I am not a fan of this writing choice but I'm pretty sure you win the ship war by default if both members of the couple are alive at the end

So one common criticism of Stranger Things S5 is that no major characters died or were even really hinted to be in danger, and thus there were no emotional stakes. I'm not really keen on seeing characters I like suffer, but: Will’s connection to Henry means they both must die for the world to be saved. Will prepares to sacrifice himself. At the last minute, Mike takes him by the hand. "You're not going alone. I would rather die with you than live without you." They embrace and disappear. "Heroes" starts playing. Everybody claps. Is this anything?

The general audience/haters/bitches keep making fun of Bylers and other fans for "still" discussing the show ("It's almost March bro let it go!!1!1), but that's such a braindead take. Worthwhile media is still talked about long after it ends; that's how we know it's worth our while. Hell, critics are still fighting about whether or not "Ode to a Grecian Urn" is actually about an urn. That's because it's a good-ass poem.

You know what, I think Vecna won. Fuck it.
