i’m so sorry but if you watch stranger things and you actually actually for real genuinely think that the duffer brothers have been secretly dropping hints that Mike is bi and actually always loved Will... get help.

#cool if you ship it! #i think its cute in theory! #but if youre gonna sit here and try and say 'look its REAL! they did this on PURPOSE!' #you're going to realize sooner or later that these cishet tv and movie creators are not on our side. theyre not dropping little hints. #and also a ship doesnt have to be canon for you to really like it! #idk i just. with how obvious it is that they never intended to make Will gay until season 4 #(and if you dont believe me just go read the interviews where they explicitly STATE THIS...) #(like cmon. they were just gonna leave him ambiguously without a girlfriend for the entire series until maya hawke convinced them to make #robin gay and then once that was actually successful they were like 'hmmmm maaaaybe we should make will gay for real too! yeah!' #so like THAT whole shit show is one thing. but then youre gonna look me in the eyes and try to convince me that theyve always intended for #Mike to be gay or bi too? AND that they intended for him to have a crush on Will? #these writers literally do not think that far outside the box when it comes to societal convention. #i dont know what on earth makes you think they would. #so have fun with your ship! really! #it just personally irritates me to see long-ass meta posts on my dash trying to 'prove' things that don't need to be proven. #mine #just some thoughts
