#HE CARES ABOUT MIKE!!!!!

[aemiron-main]

reminder that if u hate mike wheeler then will byers hates you 💗

(I don’t mean like affectionate hate I mean like Actual Hate, can’t stand him, using his character as ur punching bag 2 willfully/intentionally misinterpret and wrongfully assign fault to (not that Mike doesn’t have faults, but fault him for the things that Are His Fault not shit that Isn’t) etc like yes Will and Mike have their conflicts but will cares for him SO fucking deeply and does Not Hate Him)

#byler #stranger things #st shitposts #kind of #some of the takes I see abt Mike from time to time just baffle me like What………….. #he’s not some horrible guy trying to intentionally hurt all the people around him as much as possible ffs #literally I am gonna have to start gatekeeping Mike again AND will since clearly ppl are not only in their Mike hater era but also #in their ‘not understanding will’ era like will does not hold some super deep hateful resent towards Mike #like ffs do you think he gave Mike the painting for shits and giggled?? NO!!!! he was trying to reassure Mike and make him feel better bc #HE CARES ABOUT MIKE!!!!! #I’m literally half awake rn but Mike get behind me #like damn some ppl truly do not like it when things like mental illness and the way it presents don’t exactly align with #their own worldview. I’m not saying I’m Right all the time I’m saying that ppl are #willfully making Mike out to be smthn be isnt and intentionally ignoring his struggles #like do u think that will ‘can’t keep his eyes off of mikes plate and keeps staring w concern at every fucking meal’ byers is gonna take #kindly to someone ignoring and erasing mike’s emotions and complexity and struggles?? NO!!! #going thru some of the anons I’ve gotten previously and I’m just like… ???? why do people seem to Want to hate Mike so much

[gaysforbyler]

I still don’t understand how the fandom decided that MIKE was the more emotionally closed off one out of the two of them.

Mike, who spills his guts every time Will so much as looks at him in S4, who calmly explained to El how she hurt him after Will’s body was found in S1, who is famous for giving heartfelt monologues, and is literally seen as the HEART of the Party.

And Will, who lied to his mom about the mind flayer in S2, AND to Mike about the painting, just so he wouldn’t be a bother. Who pretended to like baseball just because it would make Lonnie happy. Who hasn’t told a single soul about being in love for YEARS, and would happily take that secret to his grave.

Yeah, Mike cries less. That doesn’t mean that he isn’t extremely emotionally intelligent, or that Will isn’t constantly suffering in silence. Mike works through his emotions logically, Will bottles them up until he breaks down. The only times Mike actually hides his emotions is when he’s scared. The only times Will DOESNT hide his emotions is when he’s with Mike or Jonathan.

#Mike’s parents literally get mad because he’s too expressive of his emotions #‘im the only one who cares about Will’ is seen as ‘talking back’ #but he’s very reasonably explaining how he feels #‘haha mike is so dumb. he’s so bad at emotions’ literally stfu #getting a bit heated. my bad #But i could talk about Mike’s mental process for hours #mike wheeler #will byers #byler #stranger things

something about will downplaying the painting after mike's weird anti-hug behavior, when he had obviously brought it to the airport to give to mike

and then he hears the way mike calls something as innocuous as breakfast burritos "weird" and immediately looks down at the painting

and when el says she wants the day to be all about the two of them, and mike agrees

he crushes it

#thinking about the the way mike made will feel that whole day thinking about *** #like he got there and it was s3 mike all over again in will's mind... this guy who only cares about his girlfriend and might call will #weird for making him a d&d painting this guy who can barely look at him and won't even give him a hug and doesn't seem to care #i'm in pain #byler #beets posts

[lighthouseas]

will holding mike's face when they kiss and mike holding will's neck when they kiss. that is all

#something something mike getting called frog face and being insecure about his looks and something something will loving him BECAUSE of that #<- like. how he looks #and so when they kiss his fingers naturally drift to mike's face to run over his defined jaw and his cheeks and in his messy curly hair #because will loves & adores those parts of him so much & he finally gets to cherish them as his. #and mike like. tears up about it or whatever. and something something mike subconciously feeling like he needs to protect will from #-everything so he places his hands - his big giant hands that he has also probably been insecure about - over will's neck to cover it #-completely because he wants to stamp out that feeling that darkness lurks around every corner in will's neck #he just wants will to feel safe and warm in his arms and the heat of mike's hands practically dissolves the chill down will's neck #or whatever. if you even care. and they make out sloppy also #stranger things #byler #mike wheeler #will byers #st.txt

“will deserves better than mike!! i just hope he ends up with a different love interest!”

will the second anyone else interacts with him romantically:

#yall 😭 he doesnt want anyone else #if yall think mike doesnt deserve will.. well i see ur point but also ur wrong #that boy deserves whatever he wants and if ne wants freaky minion suit boy!! good for him!!!! #and alse mike is a good character who cares about him blah blah blan #stranger things #byler #mike wheeler #will byers #mike wheeler likes boys #will byers loves mike wheeler #st5

[whynotimtired]

The best part of Will saying he wants forever with Mike so blatantly is that he isn't the one who brought it up, Mike was. In an act of projection he asks "What did you think? That we'd actually get to be together forever? When we're both boys?" and will says yes. He says yes, and Mike immediately regrets it.

#not even going to get into how earth shattering it was for me to make that reference #i didnt even realize that's what i was writing until halfway through #he said yes. he said yes. (it was the worst thing I'd ever done.) #accidentally implying he doesnt also want forever with Will #gonna scream #this is so stupid dkndnd i just woke up #byler #will byers #byeler #mike wheeler #stranger things #mike wheeler is gay #AND KNOWING THAT WHEN WILL MOVED ALL MIKE DID FOR A FULL MONTH WAS LOCK HIMSELF IN HIS BASEMENT AND PLAY VIDEO GAMES #LIKE #IT CANNOT GET MORE BLATANT THAN THIS #will 'i want forever with you' byers and el 'hes my first boyfriend' hopper #also imagine how much white hot rage mike felt when will said 'you called maybe a couple times' when mike called CONSTANTLY- #and will NEVER called him back #i hate the roller rink scenes they both think that theyre being ignored and dropped by the person who they care about most in the world #& the idea that once mike finally got on the right page and understood what the painting & the speech meant. WILL flew to a whole diff BOOK #mikes like holy shit he loves me this is all ive ever wanted & then wills over here like TELL HER YOU LOVE HER CAUSE YOU'LL NEVER LOVE ME #mike 'I thought my wants were something i had to grow out of. i thought i you would never love me the way i do you so i tried to move on- #but YOU want ME?? YOU want forever with ME? Then i want it with you.'

Mike Likes Cute Things

Dustin, Lucas, Steve, Max, and Robin all use the word “hot” to describe people that they’re attracted to in S3.

For Dustin, Lucas, and Steve, it’s in reference to Phoebe Cates, who Dustin compares Suzie to.

Dustin: “Think Phoebe Cates, only hotter.”

Lucas: “She’s a genius and she’s hotter than Phoebe Cates? No girl is that perfect!”

Steve: “No no. No way. Hotter than Phoebe Cates? No.”

It’s implied that they all view Phoebe Cates as the pinnacle of hotness - a common opinion at the time as a result of her role in Fast Times.

Similarly, Max uses the word hot to describe Ralph Macchio. Another actor that was popular at the time as a result of his looks.

Max: “Yeah he’s the Karate Kid. […] He’s so hot right?”

Finally, Robin uses the word hot in reference to girls when she tries to convince Keith to give Steve a job at Family Video. She bribes him by talking about all the ladies he’ll bring in.

Robin: “And these ladies… These ladies are hot. They’re so very hot.”

This is all to say that most teenagers are attracted to people that they consider “hot.”

When Mike finds out about Suzie though, he doesn’t ask Dustin if she’s hot. Mike asks…

“Is she cute?”

Mike is the only one to use this word. He’s the only one who is primarily concerned with cuteness rather than hotness, and his word choice is so telling. Unlike many teenagers, Mike is drawn to cute things still.

Things like the little teddy bear with the bow tie at the mall…

…and, ya know, his best friend, who happens to be strategically placed right behind him throughout the entire shot…

… in bright red shorts…

… as if he’s Mike’s version of a certain someone.

#byler #Hot vs cute #Mike likes cute things #If you’re falling in love with your best friend since kindergarten #it makes sense that you’ll start thinking that they’re cute rather than hot #mike wheeler #He doesn’t care about Phoebe Cates

We don’t talk enough about about how this specific close-up shot—

—tells us that in the aftermath of all the Rinkomania craziness, one thing was at the forefront of Mike’s mind. Despite all the drama that went down with El, Mike was preoccupied by his fight with Will. Not the fact his girlfriend attacked someone with a skate, had been lying to him for months and had just been viciously bullied, but the fact that Will was upset with him. This one look speaks volumes. It’s even more suspicious given the situation with El was objectively much worse and more recent than his and Will’s argument. And we know Mike is most likely feeling regret/guilt here as he refuses to let Will take the blame in Dear Billy. So Mike’s inner turmoil over the situation with Will was more important to showcase than his worry over El? Got it.

#byler #also this is not at all to say Mike doesn’t care about El obviously he does #but in this moment they decided to draw attention to Mike’s concern over Will

insane to me that if harvey had been even an iota less insane, he probably could have gotten mike to be a lawyer the more normal way. i mean, man is a big shot attorney who graduated fifth in his class at harvard law school and probably has a gazillion connections and he absolutely could have just gotten mike into harvard law school (and talked harvard people into looking the other way about how he got kicked out of college . . . worse people have gone to law school tbh), and then harvey could have just negotiated with jessica about not having a personal associate for another three years or just have had mike become a summer associate or something and then hire mike onto pearson hardman, but noOOoOoOoOOoOOO, harvey was so impatient to get his hands on mike that he had to go through this whole fraud thing. gay behavior

#caroline talks #suits #marvey #like the hilarious thing about harvey is that like. there was a FULLY legal way to get mike to work for him #he could have just waited. or negotiated. #it's funny because like. jessica pulled harvey out of the mailroom and just said 'i will sponsor you to get through harvard #and then u can work for me.' #but harvey isn't jessica. harvey is. well. he likes playing with huge risks and also unlike jessica #harvey was the one who fell in love. VERY fast #like i don't think suits makes much sense if we take love out of the equation. #i don't care what anyone says but you don't do something as insane as THAT unless you were like. toxically drawn to someone
