Thinking about how the Snow Ball kiss was literally confirmed fan service for Milkvans.

That they did not have any intention of having them kiss at the end of that season (abnormal for a romantic reunion don't you think....👀) but Millie thought that fans would be disappointed with that.

"Byler is fan service" meanwhile the writers trying to write Byler and shift away from Milkvan were making little sacrifices to give Mike and El romantic moments.

Their original intention was for Mike and El NOT to kiss and then for it to cut to WILL looking over at them dancing as *the* last shot before cutting away to the mind flayer.

Their original intention was basically this

Not a Mlvn payoff. They wanted to end on a Byler setup.

Guys... We moved on from this shot WAY too fast

First of all, it's pretty obvious that this shot is from Johnathan's perspective. Before this shot is shown, a shot showing Johnathan looking at this mirror is shown. What I see most people commenting about this scene is the rainbow in the mirror and the romantic lighting here. While these are both true and are clearly Queer-coding, I feel like there is a lot more here.

As we know, Will is an unreliable narrator. (For a quick recap, some evidence which proves this are many of the scenes in Rink-O-Mania, with Will seeing Mike and El as a happy couple roller-skating, but a scene following shows Mike and El looking pretty unhappy.) This shows Will's perspective of him loving Mike but sacrificing his own feelings for mileven's relationship because he believes Mike would never love him back and his belief Mike is happy with El (+more with Will's own internalized homophobia towards himself).

Johnathan shows an outside perspective of the van scene, showing how Mike is endearingly and nervously watching Will as Will is speaking to him. Johnathan knows something is up here, he knows his brother, and he knows that his brother is giving a veiled confession to his best friend. This is further shown in Will's coming out scene in the Surfer Boys Pizza restaurant. In other words, based on this (referring to the gif) scene's existence and its lighting, Johnathan either knows, or might suspect that Will's feelings for Mike are requited. This scene is set up for the audience to be rooting for Will, and to not rule out the possibility that Mike likes Will back.

+ Johnathan being Will's brother, it's possible he knew something was up with the both of them long before this scene. He and his brother have always been seen as outcasts (and they have always both supported each other), so he probably didn't rule out the possibly that Will and Mike have something more than friendship for each other.

The point I'm trying to make here is that Johnathan is probably going to play a big role, or some sort of role, in byler getting together in season 5. He clearly knows something is up, and he knows how Will is, and he knows Will likes Mike.

The only way byler is going to happen is if there is some sort of outside force which is going to lead to them/push them into confessing to each other. This could be one of them almost dying, Vecna exposing a secret, and/or a lot of other things.

Johnathan is probably going to be one of the main outside forces who is going to contribute to a byler confession happening because he was heavily involved in the season 4 byler plot.

(my bad if this has already been said and it's kind of unnecessarily long due to the background information/recaps, but I wanted to talk about this)

I still can't wrap my mind around the fact that Stranger Things, one of THE biggest shows in the entire world is going to have the most legendary slow burn queer romance revealed on their final season. Like, the whole world will be watching when it happens. The character with the most well-written internalized homophobia and the gay main character are going to KISS and be in LOVE, and for the first time, the LGBTQ community will be so well represented in mainstream public media. The GA may not know it yet, and it'll seem like a plot twist to them, but for us as a Byler community we get to cheer them on the whole way 🥹

I think I'm gonna explode into a happy little bisexual firework
