This post is, like marked in the title, a remake of my third post, with the same name, on Stranger Things ! I remake it because, like in my Mike Wheeler post, at that time i was not comfortable enough with Tumblr to clearly expressed my thoughts and feelings. Now i correct that with a much clear explanation on my journey with each Ships & Pairings ! (I will primarly talk about the canons & future canons ships and famous pairings, since i have more to tell about them !)

Byler & Elmike

I've been an anti-Byler & anti-Milkvan before !! I didn't get any interest to Mike & El romantically, and if i indeed see that Will was in love to Mike, like everyone because he has a girlfriend, i didn't thing it would be reciprocated. It's not even cross my mind.

Something to know about me it's that in general i root for the main couple, i very rarely root for alternative ships. It's mostly either the established couple or nothing at all.

I knew that after Will reveal being Gay & in love to Mike we will have peoples who will ship them ! But i wasn't interested. I knew that Milkvan would be Endgame, i didn't start questioning it because it's always like that, and with the confession it became obvious. Because of this mindset i had never bothered to take an interest in this ship.

(Funfact : i didn't listen the confession. I didn't listen what he was saying because i was tense for Max, i just wanted him to finish his extremely long monologue to get back to Max ! XD)

So Will & Mike i didn't give a f**k ! In addition i hated Mike and i was tired of his relationship with El. I was thinking like everyone else that Will deserved better ! I was so blind by my new found hate to Mike, that i didn't acknowledge Will feeling like not a mistake because of Mike !! And funny enough, i started to dislike El. Not because of her, but because of her relationship with Mike !!

But of course, analyses & theories of the show that i've seen this year have completely changed my mind ! I became more open minded ! And funny fact, it's the Bylers who make me reconcile with Elmike relationship ! I start to like them again because of Bylers !!

That's why now i'm a HUGE Byler & Elmike/Platonic Mileven Truther ! I like El & Mike better as friends (I'm also a Gay Mike Truther & a El have never been in love of Mike Truther ! So it's also explain why i prefer them as friends now), and i found Will & Mike relationship more beautiful, interesting and deep as more than friends !! <3

Jancy & Stancy

If you look at my Tumblr, you'll know that I've repeatedly said that Jancy would be Endgame, but.. in reality my opinion is fluctuating.

I've not always root for Jancy, but i wasn't a Stancy neither. I didn't really being attention to them, before S4 when Stancy came in front of us again. Then i was thinking that Stancy will maybe be together again in the next season.

But this year i came across Tumblr ! And my opinion as shifted. I don't think that Stancy will be a couple anymore, when i see analysis of their characters arcs is just doesn't fit. I like them as platonic ! <3

Meanwhile Jancy have grow in my heart when i rewatch the show multiple times this year ! But even if i want them to be Endgame, i don't know if they will. Like i said my opinion is fluctuating !

What bother me the most, i think, it's where we left us. Jonathan still lying to her, something that made me dislike Elmike relationship, since they lie to each other all the time. So it would be hypocrite for me to let that passed. And Nancy, that seems want big thing in her life, and i don't know if he can be a great support to her anymore.. knowing that he's very attached to his family (even i want & hope that his character arc this season is to overcome that), idk..

I will see what happen..

Lumax & Elmax

I've start rooting for Lumax in S4 ! Before i find them cute but nothing more. They've been my favorite (and only at the time) ship of Stranger Things, my number 1 before Byler ! <3 And i still VERY MUCH LOVE THEM !!! I know i don't talk much about them, so you can't see it, but i assured you that i am !! <3 Honnestly i've said what i was thinking about this ship the most, in this post that i made, comparing Milkvan & Lumax relationship ! Of course Lumax Endgame !! ^^

And i LOVE ELMAX !!! Platonically in canon and Romantically in fanfic! I want to see them again in S5, even if it's in the epilogue idc !

Jopper

Not a big fan. They will be Endgame, no doubt. But i don't like how they've been presented to us in S3.. I liked them more when i think about them as reunited & unified their family, making El officially the sister of Will & Jonathan. And overall get El a real family to love & care, and to they will loved her & care about her too !

Ronance ; Rovickie

I like the dynamic that Nancy and Robin have ! I see why peoples ship them, i like both ! Platonic in canon, Romantic in fanfic <3 ^^

Rovickie i will see in S5, but i already like the dynamic they've showed in the end of S4 ! ^^

Madwheeler/Madmike ; Madwise ; Willel

Very twins/siblings for me !! LOVE THEIR DYNAMIC !!! I would like to see them more but i know i won't have, since Max will certainly being in coma for a time.. The only one that i can pray to see it's Willel !! <3

Byclair ; Henderhop

Like this ships honnestly !! :O I've surprised myself liking imagine them being a couple ! But of course in fanfic ! I like imagine it but it will not be a thing. And i'm too attached to Byler/Lumax & Dusty-Bun/Suzie-Poo !!

For summer time you may need something to cool you off!
