The concept of Jonathan and Mike arguing over Will's safety and Jonathan is like: "Dude he's my brother!" And Mike is like: "Well he's my-" --awkward pause-- "my f-friend..." And then Jonathan gives him THE LOOK.

give me season five byler before i start hallucinating

[bucketofsnow]

Ever since I watched that teaser Byler ist the first thing I think about when I wake up in the morning and the last thing I think about before I fall asleep. Every. Single. Day. On. Repeat. I might need help.

[bucketofsnow]

there's something so scrumptious about the fact that the first word el ever said to mike was no and the first word will ever said to mike was yes

therefore i conclude byler endgame

[bucketofsnow]

This is me btw

[bucketofsnow]

when st5 comes out, i want a 10 hour long documentary about every single tiny detail of the show and then i need every single blooper ever and a rundown of every single episode where the duffers pause every two seconds and explain literally every shot of the show

[bucketofsnow]

Byler, Creelby, Lumax and Lucas' parents all wearing blue and yellow clothes cuz they work well together as a couple and complement each other is really interesting (also Mike is blue and Will is yellow and they have blue and yellow rooms).. so is the fact that El wore Will's clothes while trying to impress Mike with her "Will look", i know what you are homotron 7000, post here

the costume designer said this btw, and she dressed Mike and Will like that so that they would look good together

[bucketofsnow]

the uncontainable rage that enters my body when people write Will as a little stuttery baby in fics like where is my judgemental diva💔💔

[bucketofsnow]

they shot this scene ALL DAY and you’re telling me this wasn’t intentional ??

[bucketofsnow]

Forcing him to work when he's supposed to be adored and pampered was the worst crime ever committed on this show

[bucketofsnow]

"mike & jonathan convo about el & nancy could've changed lives" jonathan would rather kill himself actually

[bucketofsnow]

They keep calling us delusional and crazy for saying byler is happening. You know who else was being called crazy? Joyce. And guess what? She was right all along when no one believed her.

[bucketofsnow]

Let Will Byers have a gun in S5!!

This is based on that one Ethel Cain image I’m insane about right now. I created this almost entirely while listening to Nettles on loop😭

i love this fandom

"Leader Mike" and "Protector Mike" have always been triggered by WILL

Remember Will's van speech to Mike? How Mike makes WILL feel like he's not a mistake? That he's better for being different?

Will's not the only one feeling insecure who needs validation here. Remember how Mike feels insecure about being "some random nerd"? In his own way, Will had to remind Mike that HE is better for being different, that he's "the heart" of the party.

Will was reminding Mike (and us!) of the Mike we knew earlier in the show. Many people loved "Leader Mike" in the first 2 seasons.

Who is Leader Mike? Somewhat aggressive, somewhat manic, thinking quickly, giving orders!

Leader Mike (and the closely-related phenomenon of Protector Mike) are ALWAYS triggered by Will.

Season 1 we observed an instance of Leader Mike determined to FIND WILL:

Even his decision to include El in the group was pragmatic: to find Will.

From the start of Season 2 we see Protector Mike:

Then, when Will confides in him that he recognizes Dart as what he might have coughed out at the end of the first season, Mike goes BALLISTIC and goes full-on into LEADER MIKE mode:

He trusts Will completely, doesn't want anything to happen to him, and is willing to get rid of Dustin's new friend for Will's (and everyone's) safety.

People don't think of Mike being heroic in Season 3, but he actually does shift into Leader Mike when, again, WILL is the trigger. When Will senses that the Mind Flayer is back, Mike assembles the party together. In a flash of inspiration, he comes up with the Sauna Test:

In Season 4, we don't see Leader Mike: not only because he's focused on El, but also because Will isn't in danger!

In Season 5, Finn Wolfhard says we'll see "Leader Mike" again:

Nor surprising, since the ending of Season 4 directly foreshadowed the return of Leader Mike...

... which was a callback to this Season 2 scene...

... a DELIBERATE choice to signal the return of Leader Mike.

We all know what this means... Leader Mike returns. It will be triggered (as always) by Will. Will will be in danger, and Mike will do everything he can to save him.

Again. =D

They're both "random nerds," "losers," and outcasts. But with each other they don't feel that way. Will can love himself when Mike is around. Mike is the BEST version of himself -- the leader, the protector, the emotionally-honest Mike, the apology-giving Mike -- whenever it concerns Will.

MIKE is the heart of the party. But WILL brings it out of him.

I fear Byler's first kiss will be tragic. Like distraction so you're too in shock to stop me from attempting to sacrificing myself type tragic.

And then afterwards of course that "never do that to me again" second kiss.
