The Byler Timeline

may the fourth be with you ❤️

i’ll meet you in the middle, i will always be your friend

Still not over this btw. Out of ALL PLACES.

For Max, it's her abusive stepbrother.

For Will, it's a monster from D&D.

For Mike, it's El. (That Void scene makes much more sense through this lens)

For Joyce, it's the phone call in S1. That's traumatic for sure, but it's also the first thing that gives her hope that Will might still be alive.

In S4 it's Vecna, because that's who the villain is in Eddie's traumatizing D&D campaign.

Our trauma is obviously a terrible final season to a tv show that has been running for 10 years.

The supernatural finally got us in S5 through the WSQK radio tower. We were hopeful in Vol1, then were traumatized in Vol2.

I'll go even further by saying that the mockumentary represents the supernatural affecting the actors and everyone working on this show.

But for Victor Creel, it was a demon haunting his house, and I think he's correct.

The supernatural source could be the Creel House.

Ever since that LEGO set came out, I've been suspecting that the Creel House is what they actually have to investigate.

before mike knows it's will saving him

- shocked, confused (obviously), maybe even a bit disgusted by the demogorgon itself

- furrowed brow, rough(er) gaze, tense (visible in neck and shoulders)

after mike knows it's will saving him

- shock (in a more positive way), realization, awe

- the intake of breath, relaxing of eyebrows, softer gaze

when will kills the demogorgon(s)

- shock, awe, bewilderment (possibly)

- furrowed brows are back, probably due to confusion because "how tf can will do that?"

- his eyes are literally sparkling omg 😭✌️

- i don't even have to say anything here do i?

- the smile just adds to how smitten he looks
