ahem. I'm dead bored so here's the proof that mileven prolly broke up in the time jump (if you say that I'm delusional, you're wrong, because hell nah all of this is pure facts and I'm not just selfish, it's a bunch of confirmed information I used against mileven)
1st: Mileven Don't Act Like Mileven Anymore
in older seasons everything romantic they have is kisses (cuz they're a terrible couple that has to prove that they are still real by kissing lmao), while this season they haven't kissed once and talked ONCE.
2nd: "Mike's Best Friend El"
in some official book or whatever it is (I think I had a photo? oh right I found it, it's up there) jane is being called "mike's best friend eleven".
3rd: Will is not a Fucking Jerk Bruh??
you think will byers would burn down the house (mileven) that he, at least somehow tried to keep standing in s4? he definetly wouldn't ask robin buckley how obvious it has to be to make sure that your crush likes you back, really. he is not a jerk to flirt with a boyfriend of his sister that he really loves and don't make him look like one. even if they haven't broke up for now, they know that they better do it and their relaotionship is not as "obvious" as they used to look like (I mentioned that.) - 0 kisses and 2 platonic scenes together (that as EVERYTIME will flip the camera to william ofc, how'd we go without that).
4th: Will is the Vecna to Stop Mileven
in their scene on the roof when mileven were talking about the parties' future, mike said "if *vecna* is gone, what's stopping *us*?", while in another scene with will he says that will is kinda like vecna. KINDA LIKE *VECNA*, someone who can stop *us*, someone who may destroy midleven mileven.
5th: Duffers Don't Believe In Mileven
duffers is, as known, don't believe in love at first sight, and this may be one of the biggest proofs, because mileven is canonically "woods to lovers" (love at the first sight), as mike said, "I fell in love right when I saw you in the woods". he "falls in love" with a girl the second he saw her, yet the first he saw was will (proof: the first thing he said was "it's not will"). so basically, duffers don't believe in mileven, what meansss? figure it out yourself.
6th: Queerbait is not a Good Lesson.
and why would they make will get rejected after all the hell he survived? to make him suffer again? for what? we already know that he gonna go thru a lot this season, so, what does this lesson even teach? acceptance before rejection??? will is the main character (ikr there's a bunch of mains but he is the mainest one yk???) in the series + mileven already broke up as I proved so he deserves to be happy, atleast, ONCE.
+7th: Robin's Speech is not About Getting Over your Crush (debunking) / Mike is not Tammy
rockin' NEVER talked about mike in her speech, the speech was ENTIRELY ABOUT ACCEPTING YOUR SEXUALITY. golly, I'm really suprised that ANYONE dares to talk about mike being anything else except vickie after they showed us will's tape (miwi flashbacks) below. ⬇️⬇️⬇️
mike is vickie, mike is ⬆️ tape of will's. ⬆️
robin felt insecure loving tammy.
did will? did he? he felt another way around. will felt strong loving mike.
