*wakes up in a cold sweat after almost two years of hibernation* Stranger Things season 5. A random girls flirt with Mike. Enters Jealous Will Byers. A heart-to-heart. A confession. Byler's first kiss. Yes, I see the vision. Byler Nation, please accept this humble offering:
fun fact: Mike was supposed to sit down on the floor next to Will in this scene but they probably chose to make him sit down on the bed because the gay romantic tension was too obvious and they wanted to make the scene more subtle( plus it parallels a gay scene from 13 reasons why where 2 queer boys said "as friends" "absolutely friends" and then they both said "cool" and then they kissed) they changed the "yeah's" to Mike and Will saying "cool" to perfectly parallel the scene so it was intentional and they knew what they were doing plus the interruption trope is a romantic trope and they used it a lot for Byler in s4. Mike sitting on Will's bed also parallels the mvln argument scene where Mike sat down on El's bed and the scenes parallel each other even because of the "you never say it" "i say it" and "i didn't say it" "you didn't have to" lines
they also said they made the van scene more subtle but they still had Mike staring at Will's lips and gasping for air
it would be so funny if argyle (while high, ofc) blurted out some shit during s5 to joyce like “will seems pretty interested in this micheal guy, dude…”
I still haven't moved on from this line Nancy had in the 4x09 script that never made it in to the final cut
Why were these words arranged in this order on the script. Why do they need a babysitter Nancy. Care to explain why you are glad Jonathan was there accompanying them (PLURAL) ???
