βIβm just a little worried that Mike has to have a whole gay realization arc all in the last seasonβ- YALL. PAY ATTENTION THATS WHAT HES BEEN DOING THIS WHOLE TIME:
Season 2: Mike is unaware of what his feelings mean but knows how much he cares about Will, legit spends the whole season being in love with him. By the end at the showball he realizes that somethings up, he doesnβt rlly understand what but he can tell something feels different and he doesnβt like it. Cue part 1 of his realization arc; subconscious denial
Season 3: Subconscious denial is rapidly turning to conscious denial, and at the start of the season we see Mike is in part 2 of his realization arc; a severe case of internalized homophobia. He cycles through it all the way to his absolute lowest point in part 2 (rain fight) and then he slowly comes back from it just a little bit. Then, at the end of the season, we see Mike shift onscreen from part 2 to part 2.5; conscious realization and fear. At this point Mike is halfway through his internalized homophobia arc. He KNOWS how he feels, but it still terrifies him. He grapples with this in the time period between s3 and 4.
Season 4: Ah yes, the penultimate season. The season that sets up endgame. The season that has an *entire gay road-trip plot line dedicated to byler*. This season is part 3 for Mike; acceptance. At first glance you miss it if youβre not looking, since s4 byler was almost entirely from Willβs lovely but very biased POV as he was also going through his own gayangstTM arc at the same time, but all it takes is a second glance to see that itβs there. At the start of the season Mike is on the very last, very flimsy legs of denial, and reuniting with Will again after not speaking for months is what catapults him into the acceptance chunk of his arc. In almost every cali crew scene, we see Mike slowly get closer and closer to total acceptance. We see him accept that he doesnβt love El the way heβd originally thought, he accepts that he loves Will the way he thought he was supposed to love El, and by the van scene, Mike is soso close to accepting that both of these things are okay.
Close being the key word here. Will accidentally throws him off again in volume 2, so Mikeβs realization arc isnβt fully concluded yet, things are still very messy and season 5 has a lottt to address. But thatβs the THING; season 5, as far as byler goes, actually only needs (for the most part ofc) to address development and realizations that have already happened. A lot of the fandom is really underestimating how much Mike suspects and has realized, at least about himself, and thatβs where I think most of the remaining byler doubt is coming from (not including Twitter, we donβt count byler Twitter they do not know shit abt whatβs going on π).
But that worry is unnecessary! Some of you guys donβt realize how perfect of a plot device Vecna is. Iβm saying this as a writer: Heβs like a writers dream bc you can basically tell viewers whatβs happening in a characterβs psyche while still maintaining βshow donβt tell.β Bc now? All the writers rlly have to do to start canonifying Mikeβs gay realization that has, once again, already happened, is have vecna target him! And theyβve clearly been planning that if that several billion hints in s4 and 3 and EVEN 2 AND 1 are anything to go by ππ
Guys, Mikeβs *realization* arc is practically FINISHED. The duffers and writers have just been hiding it this whole time by not giving us any Mike POV in s3 or 4 bc they couldnβt confirm Mike before confirming Will, that would make byler endgame wayy too obvious they had to sneak it in there.
But itβs there, and itβs happened. The only thing WE have to worry about now is preparing ourselves for the sheer level of angst that is going to be Mikeβs internalized homophobia plot line getting confirmedβ¦ I rlly donβt think weβre ready for that. I know IM not π
