Not really one of the biggest fumbles with the whole season but one that really kind of annoys me is the lack of immediate panic from Robin after Will caught her and Vickie kissing in that room and how later on when they interact it’s as if nothing ever happened like did they forget this was the 80s? Robin was literally going on a whole rant in the beginning of last season about worrying if she asked out the “wrong girl” she’d be at risk of being outcasted by the entire town more than she already was like they make that a clear concern and it doesn’t matter that Will is gay she didn’t know that beforehand and they didn’t seem to have much of a relationship before those scenes took place so there’s no way she would have any idea how he’d react there’s no predicting what he would’ve done.
I think it's pretty easy to infer from context cues that Robin knows Will was the person to see them, but also isn't super certain of how much he actually saw. That's why their talk in the woods is very coded--Robin is definitely choosing her words carefully to not openly say she and Vickie are dating, on the off-chance Will didn't actually see or understand that.
I also think it's not unreasonable to assume Robin has an inkling that Will is gay. She is not surprised at all when he starts asking about signs, and everyone in town knows what people say about Will. Robin isn't sure, of course, and she's not close to Will so she can assume he might not want to discuss this with her, but her wording to me very clearly suggests a "we're good, right?" vibe. She's trying to get a sense of how much he knows and how willing he might be to openly talk about it, which is key for her and Vickie's safety. Will's "nope, I saw nothing" comes off as confirmation that he's not going to go around telling people, and that's what Robin needs.
things that robin and will would rb
au where will and mike get together early on and their relationship becomes an inspiration for robin
Will and Robin could go on double bearding dates like Robin could go "with" Carlton and Will could go "with" Vickie 🙂↕️

bringing this one (x) back for pride! (will + robin + steve friendship is such a dear fanon concept to me) 💛🎧⚾️ side byler + steddie!
read the previous pride hc here 🏳️🌈✨
the party (+ the older party) is visiting hawkins from college for summer break. they planned a trip to the lake. is about to be lunchtime so will says he’ll get stuff from the van and steve offers to help.
halfway to the van, steve asks will if he can talk to him about something.
“sure, what’s up?”
“i need advice.” will is confused as to what steve could possibly need his advice for. thinks for a moment. takes in the way he keeps fixing his hair or won’t meet his eyes.
will stops on his tracks, makes sure they’re still alone.
“holy shit, steve, did you get a boyfriend? did you finally hook up with eddie?”
needless to say, steve looks flabbergasted at the suggestion. “i— what? you little—!” steve smacks his arm, blushing. “you spend way too much time with robin.”
“maybe i like her better. maybe she answers my letters faster.” will giggles and they keep walking. “if it’s not that, what do you need my help for?”
steve sighs, messing up his hair. again. “last semester a student stayed after class, said he wanted to talk to me. i said ‘okay’, thought nothing of it.” he shrugs, stops for a moment with his hand on the door handle of the van.
“he asked me in what part of our textbook boys get with boys.”
will turns to him so fast he hurts his neck a little. oh.
“just— just let me know if i’m overstepping, yeah?” will nods slowly. waits for steve to gather his words.
“i know you’re still new at this whole being—“ he looks at will, as if asking for permission. will smiles softly, and nods again. “being gay thing, and i know about ‘the birds and the bees’ and whatnot, but it would mean so much to me if you and robin could help me understand them.”
‘wait, but who did you tell?’
‘oh! the obvious, steve.’
‘wait, what?! robin— i mean, i don’t understand. i mean, not the same as in your steve?’
“because i want to be there for them. like i could’ve been there for robin. like i could’ve been there for you.”
he understands now. russian drugs aside.
“steve.” great, now will is going to cry.
will tells him the three of them should meet up in a much more private setting later. that they would be the ones teaching him now. oh, how the tables have turned.
steve agrees and thanks him, then, out of nowhere quickly goes. “quick, say something funny.”
“something funny? what—“
“exactly! that’s why you’re the man.” steve laughs out loud, smacking his chest with a little too much force. will is so confused “oh, hey mike.”
oh.
“hey, what were you guys talking about?”
will turns around and one look at sun kissed freckled lake water wet mike wheeler is enough to make him feel like a damn teenager again. not a single boy at will’s campus ever had a chance, didn’t they?
“oh, nothing.”
“oh, ok. will, you gotta come with me, we’re playing against max and lucas and i can’t lose— well, i can’t lose again.”
“sure, lead the way.”
“oh and steve? i think eddie is looking for you.”
will and steve share a look.
don’t you fucking dare.
I have this like- super random headcanon that both Robin and Steve are trying to set up Byler at the exact same time and neither of them knows it and it becomes ten times more peak if you have Robin try to mentor Will while with Nancy and Steve trying to mentor Mike while pining for Jonathan.
Robin and Will: *working with Nancy to try to see if Mike is interested, probably has a plan and back up plan*
Steve and Mike: *actively shooting in the dark, two hopeless idiots pointing at each other and saying “exactlyyyy”*
rebeleven + platonic elmike + rebelwise + byler
robin explaining pride to jane. jane not understanding why would you hate someone for just loving someone else. it doesn’t make sense. mike comes up behind robin with a hand on her shoulder. rolls his eyes, shakes his head.
“mouth breathers.” robin looks between the two.
that’s all it takes. jane nodding slowly in understatement. “mouth breathers.”
meanwhile will watching his favorite people from afar with the biggest and dopiest smile on his face.
