i’m js saying that if all this “it’s going to be like season 1” stuff is js about personality i am going to throw hands. idk if this is a leak or js a theory (pray it’s js a theory) but ppl are thinking that’s one half of the kids and young adults (ya) are in the ud while the others (will, mike, robin, karen and vickie(?)) are trying to find them. look in all for a robin x byler scene with possible vickie crumbs but PLEASE!!

i really really want the groups to be based off of season 1. duffer brothers don’t forget that will and mike are actually friends with dustin and lucas. i get if all their priorities aren’t the same but cmon bring the party back tgt. i get the fans want byler, so do i but please don’t ruin or forget that they have other friends. byler is much more than their ship😭

ST 5

Idk about yg but i really hope that they choose to do weekly episodes or smth. ik everyone hates weekly episodes cause you gotta wait n all, but that’s kinda why i want it.

this is the last season!! i don’t wanna watch it for a week, then forget about it in a month. i wanted to make theories, and slowly enjoy, and im sure everyone else does too.

this fandom is crazy, they’ll pick up on everything in every episode to make theories which is sm fun. there won’t be much of that if they release it at onxe

also for netflix, it would be really smart bc people will talk about this show even more and rewatch it all the time until the end

SUSPENSE!! netflix shows suspense is that big like disney or prime. something major happens, then you go to the next episode. i want to be terrified to see what happens next, and think abt it all week

the show is coming to an end and i feel like i stand for everyone when i say, we want to enjoy it. i want the suspense ykwim?

anyways duffer bros/netflix PLEASE!!

okay so with all these set photos coming out and these arguments between byler, and mileven, i think it’s time we start focusing on MIKE WHEELER.

people think that he is some b!tchy dude who is mean to his friends but people always forget that he has trauma too. but see, his trauma isn’t exactly from the upsidedown itself like wills, els or max. his comes from everyday struggles and i am here to speak my truth about that.

let’s not forget how heartbroken that kid was when his BEST friend will disappeared. I mean we’ve all seen that one scene where dustin and lucas are arguing and he’s in the middle look so depressed. for a whole week, he’s looking for will. this guy tried to 💀 himself. yeah yeah he did it for dustin, and im sure that’s part of it but for his teeth? they were baby teeth too. but he lost el, had a big fight with lucas, his best friend is still missing, and is living on one ounce of hope that will is alive after seeing his “dead” body dragged out of the water.

he grows a connection with el, then loses el. on the positive side, he did get his best friend back, but that doesn’t change the trauma we went through. but how can he express that trauma? i mean, his best friend is suffering from bullying and the side effects of coming back to life all year. how pathetic would it look to him if he started going, “when you went missing, i went through hell.” not to mention he couldn’t talk abt that to his mom or sister because barb didn’t come back. nancy has to deal with losing her best friend. at least mike got his back. that’s all that is going through his mind.

when el comes back, he can’t talk about the depression he went through after knowing what it felt like to lose will, and then to lose el for a whole year. she’s got all this trauma from the upsidedown and the lab. once again, he would look stupid if he started talking about his depression.

then his best friend and girlfriend move away to the other side of the country. cleary that destroyed him. i mean he prob thought that he would have will and el his whole life. will, who he has known for like what a decadeish? is gone. can he mourn, be sad, tell his friends that his two favourite people gone is killing jim from the inside? no! and why? because max just watched her step brother die. (i’m not a big fan of that arc cause he was literally so abusive). anyways max is going through it, thinking about what she could’ve done, isolating herself from lucas and the party. he once again probably would feel selfish if he were to mention that in front of his friends.

eddie was his friend too. cleary, he looked up to him in some shape or form. but he knows that dustin was closer AND had to watch him die. mike, wasn’t there for yet. he’s probably going through it too, knowing that someone he cared for is gone. does he even know that eddies dead yet? (pre s5 time skip). but dustin had to watch him die so it feels like him mourning would be more pathetic cause at least he wasn’t there. he can’t be as sad as everyone else when max his in the hospital bc he isn’t close enough like everyone else. that’s one of his best friends girlfriend, he has if way worse.

people forget that will and el weren’t the only ones bullied!! (dustin and lucas are also forgotten, that’s a post for later!). he was bullied his whole life too. he almost died because he was bullied. bullying, especially at a young age will affect you. i’m not excusing any of his fights he’s had with el or will, but apart of trauma and not getting help for it, means you are going to act as what you hate the most.

even the unrelated upsidedown stuff makes him look pathetic. his dad is there physically, but not emotionally. that would put a toll on anyone, having a dad that is never trying to bond or connect with you. but can he say anything about that? wills dad abuses him, dustin doesn’t have one and max had hers replaced with an abusive stepfather.

his whole life, he felt like his trauma want important enough because everyone has it worse than him. i am not shaming any other characters for their trauma, their traumas are just as important. what im trying to prove is that he isn’t some butthole teenager. he is a teenager who feels alone and keeps his feelings hidden until they explode.

plus, if you are a byler fan or a queer mike truther, you can add on to the fact that he probably hates himself for being some different weird losers who wants to be with his best friend, a man. that probably breaks all rules he grew up with.

add all these things tgt, and you get a very emotionally drained teenager who needs help.

(all the kids need therapy, srsly, why is max the only one in therapy. each kid has gone through sm, im not dissing them or ignoring their trauma, everyone’s trauma is equally important and ill make another post about each character in the future).

i really hope they talk about his trauma and depression, this dude has gone through and yet feels like it’s not important enough.

@//uhhbylerisreal on tiktok made a post talking about how the chance of byler happening is bigger bc the duffers most likely saw the hashtag “byler script” on twitter go c r a z y and if they want to make majority of fans happy they’ll write it for s5 since they’re righting it rn. (they said they want most ppl to be happy but they know not everyone will be).

this is all i’ve been thinking abt thank you @//uhhbylerisreal 🙏🙏

LOOK HOW HAPPY MIKE WAS WHEN HE OPENED THE PAIRNINF

look i know that will is an unreliable narrator as he fully believes that mike could never love him in that way but LOOK

[chickenskins101]

no cause what if mike constantly compares himself to others.

like maybe some days he’ll be thinking abt his dad wishing his dad would be less oblivious, care for him and say ily but then he thinks “well dustin doesn’t have a dad and wills was abusive, i should be glad to have him as my dad,” and does his best to brush it away.

maybe sometimes he has nightmares from jumping from the quarry cliff or his trauma from the upsidown and he thinks “will was there for a week and max was attacked by vecna, i shouldn’t be moping around about myself.”

or he thinks about how seeing wills ‘body’ be pulled from the lake and thinking he was dead for a couple of hours was the worst time of his life (along side mourning els ‘death’) and he thinks to himself, “well barb never came back and nancy has to deal with that, bob never came back and joyce has to deal with that and billy died and max has to deal with it. will + el came back i shouldn’t be thinking abt when they were gone. it’s stupid. the others are the ones suffering.”

he might be thinking of his family issues then be reminded that el was trapped in the lab for 11 years, will spent 11 years with his abusive father and that max had an abusive brother + step-dad so his family at least being here is enough and he shouldn’t be thinking abt how it’s bad

or he’ll sit in bed crying bc he’s gay (internalized homophobia) then remember that will was abused at just the thought of him being gay while his dad sits in the lazy boy and he should be taking advantage of it and not be a ‘pussy,’ even if his dad his most definitely homophobic

he probably constantly thinks about these believing his trauma isn’t worth it bc others had it worse 😭

the gays live

mike barley survived

[chickenskins101]

ok here are my thoughts. we all knew it was going to be wills pov, we expected the sadness. we knew that whatever we could find, wouldn’t make it obvious but there are small details throughout the scene + script. from what we know, mike somewhat knows that will is talking abt himself and in the script it’s says “mikes face brightens” after will saying “she’ll always need you.” mikes not convinced that el likes/loves him and when will says that he’s supposed to be convinced but what if that line is there bc mike realized that will will always need him. let’s not forget will was the one who got mike to say ily and that el and mike never talked about even though they had 2 days to. el knows he’s lying. you can tell by her facial expressions. her friendship with max is what saved her. byler ended on good terms and mileven ended on bad terms. duffer bros said they don’t have enough time to fix ppls love lives so in the beginning of s5 they have a 5 minute break up scene and throughout the season we can will + mike doing what they do every season which eventually leads to a 7 minuteish confession. so that’s like 12 extra minutes to add to the mystery and fighting shit. also maybe an extra 5 minutes of mike wheeler breaking down. i want to see what the trauma from the upsd, parents and internalized homophobia has done to him.

sorry for the rant 😃👍
