mike wheeler and jaime lannister are the same character and that also means byler is real 🥳

my last post about game of thrones versus stranger things where i talked about writing and what went wrong with dan and david did pretty well so i figured id elaborate just a bit on my quick side note i had in there about mike reminding me of jaime because it’s something i literally cannot shake. they are so similar it causes me extreme amounts of stress. and im on a two hour flight so i have time to explain it all to you 🥳🤗

to begin, my favorite stranger things characters are mike and nancy and my favorite game of thrones characters are sansa and jaime. if you already see a pattern, then you’re on the right track, because yes, i am a believer in the misunderstood character who is widely hated amongst fans but is arguably the best written one in the given source material. sansa and nancy are both fundamentally similar characters- they both start out as naive girls who are very singularly focused on their reputation and how they’re perceived by the people around them. this is evident in nancy’s relationship with steve and with basically every single action sansa takes in season one of game of thrones. through being forced into a dangerous environment however, both characters learn to shed the ideas they had about what it means in their given world to be “successful” and “important.” i tend to love characters like that because their so realistic. even if we aren’t all being abused by kings or shooting demegorgans, most of us can relate to wishing we were something we weren’t and having to learn the hard way that it’s just better to be yourself

i just wanted to get the nancy sansa pipeline out of the way first before i talk about mike and jaime, because where nancy and sansa are similar, jaime and mike are practically twins.

let’s look at both characters at the beginning of their respective story-

- mike is 12 years old and knows close to nothing except for the fact that he wants to be able to protect the people he cares about. throughout the first season, we see mike’s guilt for not being able to find will metaphorically eat him alive, coming to a head at the cliff scene where when his other best friend is in threat of being harmed, he decides that he would rather die than not be able to save someone he cares about again.

- jaime is mike on a twenty year delay, but his story begins about where mike is at in ~season 3. however, when jaime was about 15, he was appointed to the kings guard, a position he partly sought out to be close to cersei (his affair partner (and sister but that’s a conversation for another day)) (also, mike acts the way he does when will goes missing partly because he’s lost somebody he subconsciously loves too and if you don’t think mike has been subconsciously in love with him this whole time ily but womp womp ur wrong) but also partly sought out because of his notions of what it meant to be a knight- it means that you’re fighting for the people and essentially saving as many as you possibly can. jaime is a character who cares very much about the people around him, similarly to mike. jaime’s situation comes to a similar head when he kills the king to prevent him from essentially bombing the capital city and killing half a million innocent people, which in doing so he puts his own life and reputation at risk

these characters are both so similar because they both value life. they are willing to sacrifice themselves and their reputation in the interest of other people. this is who they both are at the core of their person. however, at some point throughout their arc they both go back on their previous behaviors. they don’t so much regret the way they behaved, but the pressures about their roles that have been put on them by society lead them both to believe that their behavior is wrong in some way.

with mike, i’m talking about how affectionate (?) he was with will in season two. i’m naming what happened after the whole hospital “best thing i’ve ever done” sequence and before season three as mike going through the same thing jaime does in the period between when he kills the king and when the show starts. i think in both of these time frames, the two of them start to have this realization based on the people around them that what they did was wrong and won’t be widely accepted. jaime’s king slaying was treasonous and mike realizes that his love confession coded monologue to will in the hospital wasn’t necessarily normal behavior. this is also the exact time period in which the raegan bush election is happening. they literally probably voted during season 2. id also like to point out that both of them come from very rigid and strict families. and if you’re denying me this for mike, they have a raegan bush sign in their yard.

now we pick up in season 1 for jaime and season 3 for mike. this is where im going to bring up the singular most important part of both of their respective arcs- the love triangle. season 1/3 are the most important times for both melvin and jercei (?). melvin is at peak affection, and basically mike’s entire story for a good portion of this season revolves around her. this is basically the peak of jercei because it’s right before they get separated and their whole dynamic changes. but uh oh! there’s trouble in paradise for both! suddenly mike and el are broken up and jaime and cersei are separated by the war of the five kings. this next part bleeds into season 2/3 for jaime and season 4 for mike, when mike and el are quite literally separated.

so, both of them are separated from side one of their love triangle, who both are using as a gateway to solve what they think is their biggest flaw- jaime his narcissism and mike his sexuality. then, and this is one of my favorite little parallels, they are both literally escorted home by the other side of the triangle, where “home” (hawkins for mike, kings landing for jaime) serves to say the truth about who they are as people that they weren’t quite ready to face before they set off on their respective physical journeys. (mikes trip to california, jaimes push north)

obviously in stranger things mike and will literally go back to hawkins together. in game of thrones, jaime gets captured by the opposing army and is escorted back to the capital by a knight for the opposing army, brienne, under the condition that he will safely return the king’s sisters to him. throughout both of their returns home, they both are forced to come to terms with their feelings just a little bit. jaime admits the truth of his kingslay to brienne, and mike is given the painting. i don’t think mike has put ANY of the dots together on the painting yet, but once he does, this will serve as a HUGE influence on his character development and relationship with will (another thing i could talk about for hours). then they both get home, and jaime’s view starts to shift just a little bit… he starts thinking “hey wait… maybe brienne is onto something. maybe i don’t have to be so terrible all the time and conform to what society wants me to be.” now obviously we don’t know if mike is thinking this way yet, but my guess is that he probably will start having a similar thing next season.

the reason both brienne and will are so important to their character arcs are because in the context of the love triangle or decision their romantic interest is making, they serve to symbolize non conformity and embracing the truth about who you are and what you stand for. brienne isn’t conventionally attractive like cersei and actively goes against what was expected of women at the time. being with will would make him a part of a gay relationship, which was very nonconformist at the time. where cersei and eleven serve in the relationship to show pretending, insecurity, and lies since they are literally the exact opposite of brienne and will. and guess who doesn’t lie? FRIENDS.

so, what i’m saying is that will is essential to ending mike’s character arc just like brienne was to jaime, and that if stranger things fumbles the bag and doesn’t make it happen like game of thrones did, then mike will live in infamy as an unfinished character who had a stupid ending just like jaime did.

also, i am a “jaime should have killed cersei and then died in the fire with her” truther and similarly believe that mike should sacrifice himself in the last summer to come full circle to the sacrificial person he used to be. i also don’t believe in happy endings because they’re boring ❤️

this is why im SO FUCKING NERVOUS about mike. i’m literally having ptsd god help me! 🤗🤗 pls matt and ross learn from the mistakes of your elders and break the game of thrones curse!! as daenerys targaryen would say- BREAK THE WHEEL!!

⚠️Stranger Things Season 1-4 Spoilers!⚠️

I'm rewatching ST starting at season one and you know what I just realized? In the first episode when Will fall off his bike, there's a clock chiming! And his front door was opened with telekinesis, which obviously the demegorgan can't do. That means Vecna/001/Henry was in the show before we were introduced to him!

[poerosiehighton]

i looked on Pinterest to find some ideas of sidekicks. i wanted to find a creature that looked cute and innocent but would open up like a Demegorgan and just swallow people whole!

Harvey "*makes the dragon blink*"

Sven "ok it wasn't what I expected but it was kinda cool"

Harvey "you want something cool?"

Harvey "you see is normal now right?"

Sven "yeah...?"

Harvey "but what if I do this?"

SVEN: "DEMEGORGAN DRAGON... DEMEDRAGON-"

Bullet Wound | Stranger Things 2|

Seven-

Billy and Steve were now sitting on the couch looking at the girl who stood before them. Steve knew what was going on but, Billy, he had no idea.

"Here is what's going to happen. You two are going to stop your useless fighting and help us make sure my sister doesn't die in that God forsaken lab, and if she does I will put a bullet in both of your skulls." The boys both felt fear sliver through their body.

"Do I make myself clear?" She asked looking between them.

They nodded their heads not wanting to get her even more anger than she already was.

"Good, now lets go." She turned around and went to Billy's car with the two boys following close behind.

Max was in the drivers seat which caused Billy to clench his jaw and Steve to do a double take.

Before they could protest Seven gave them a cold glare that almost had them shivering in fear.

~

The drive was quiet aside from Lucas giving Max directions. Billy felt like his head would explode with the amount of questions that swarmed through it.

He took a glance at Rose and saw that she was already looking at him. He felt her hand in his and he was immediately brought to another place. It was her memories, she was showing him everything she could remember and everything that transpired this night.

His eyes were wide and they started watering, each memory was filled with pain and screaming, so much screaming. Each scream coming from the girl beside him.

He saw what they did to her, the experiments, the conditioning and he got a glimpse of what they made her do. The last few memories were from today when they kissed to when she comforted him and when she vanished and ended up at the Byers' household.

He looked at her and saw that blood was trickling from her nose and tears were welling in her eyes. She wiped her nose and turned her head forward no longer looking at him.

He felt his fave softened and his heart fill with sorrow as he realized that she had went through hell and she was still willing to do whatever it took to protect her sister.

He turned his head and looked away from her but he reached down and grasped her hand in his, holding it for the remainder of the ride.

~

"Nope. We're not going down there." Steve said shaking his head.

"Steve I know you're upset but a party member is in need of assistance, and it is our duty to provide that assistance. Now you promised Nance that you would keep is safe." Dustin thrusted a bag with the bat with nails, a pair of googles and a bandana into Steve's chest. "So keep us safe."

Steve grabbed the bag with a sigh of defeat. Seven turned to Billy to make sure he was properly protected. She tightened his googles to make sure they didn't fall off.

Billy's mind was in scrambles, seven had shown him what they were getting into and he was afraid but he had no choice but to help. He looked at seven as she secured the googles on his face, she was gentle and it was something that he hadn't felt in a long time and he could get used to igo.

They were walking through the tunnels when she heard eleven again.

"Sev! I can't do this alone."

"I have to go." Seven said loud enough for the others to here.

"What!" Mike said in disbelief.

"It's eleven."

She was no longer in the upside down, she had teleported to the dreaded lab that she was born in.

~

"What the hell! Where'd she go?!" Billy's voice was frantic.

"Can you relax?!" Dustin shouted at the older boy but he regretted it when Billy threw him a cold glare.

"Eleven. She went to eleven." Mike said not turning around as he and the rest of the group continued walking.

~

Seven was now in a room in Hawkins lab. She looked around and saw a dead body that had been mauled by the demegorgan.

Seven looked toward the door when she heard a loud screech. She looked back to the body and saw that the person had a machine gun. She grabbed and made her way out of the room.

It was like second nature almost, even though she couldn't remember all of her training, her body did and she skilfully checked every corner she turned.

She felt a throbbing in her head and she closed her eyes and saw eleven. The basement.

Using her powers, she teleported herself to the gate.

She raised her gun to Hopper the same time he turned around and did it to her.

She lowered the gun and rested on the floor and Hopper lowered his.

"This way." They made their way to eleven who was standing on the contraption that would lower them to the gate.

She felt them going down and grabbed her sister's hand and let out a sigh. This was going to be the end.

Her and eleven stuck their hands out towards the gate and the shadow monster simultaneously and they started to close the gate.

That's when she felt it, the monster was fighting them back and a scream tore through their throats as they rose from the air with blood trickling down their noses and ears.

Her chest was burning and her head was throbbing but all of the pent up emotions fueled her power.

Eleven's energy was depleting and when she fell back into Hopper's chest the monster started to break through the closing gate.

Seven let out a scream that caused Hopper to wince, but she was not standing down. All at once the memories came crashing through her mind, the killings, all the people that had died by her hands, she thought of the way her and her sister were treated in the lab and then she thought of Billy, the boy who treated her with kindness, but didn't have the same from anyone.

Those horrendous memories fueled her to push harder and her body rose higher along with her screams and then just like that, the gate was closed.

She fell forward and Eleven's scream was what she heard as she kept falling. With her last bit of energy she thought of Billy and then it went dark.
