No but like El will be happy about Byler. Like actually happy, not just okay with it. It's not just her who doesn't "get" Mike and his nerdiness and need to be the hero, it's also Mike who doesn't understand the depths of El's humanity despite being a "superhero" and all of the trauma she deals with and has yet to work through. Her uniquely feminine experience and all of the challenges and milestones that come alongside maturing as a young woman, which is something that Max understands perfectly well, and this is the reason why El has begun to prioritize her friendship with Max over her relationship with Mike. El knows in her heart that she and Mike are already doomed romantically, I just think she was in denial about it until Mike's monologue. The only fear both El and Mike have now is that the absence of romance from their relationship means there won't be a relationship period i.e. they are destined to lose each other. For El, knowing and understanding that Mike is gay and in love with someone else and literally CAN'T be with her romantically will be the biggest signifier that they were never going to be able to hold onto that romance in the first place. Now they can work on being friends. If anything it's Will who's going to struggle to be with Mike in light of the guilt he will feel from "stealing" Mike from El, and I wouldn't be surprised if El is going to be the one to ultimately push Will towards Mike and encourage the two of them to be together.

the funniest thing about the milevens who hate on byler like it's their job is that it took ONE look nancy and jonathan shared together and everyone knew they'll date, it took ONE flirty sentence between hopper and joyce and everyone knew they'll date, it took ONE time for lucas to hit on max and everyone knew they'll date. but, when we give them TONS of evidence about byler endgame they're SO defensive and they refuse to admit byler in fact does have a chance in being endgame. they know byler is a threat for them so they try to fight and win mileven back. that's honestly hilarious

i love seeing milevens say “mike isn’t in love with will” and all i think about is the van scene and the way he looks at will and he has never EVER looked at eleven with that much love and care and passion.
it makes me laugh and giggle and be like “bitch guess what i have some news for u”

It’s funny how audience members view Mike as their underdog-average-straight guy who is a total nerd but got an awesome girlfriend anyway when the character they are actually looking for is Dustin Henderson

Will: how come you never called me in Lenora?

Mike is deliberately queercoded
So was nobody going to tell me that there is a Freddy Krueger movie filled with gay subtext that the Duffers very clearly and obviously referenced to queercode both Mike and Will since S1?
The main character is Jessie, a suburban teenager that finds himself haunted by Freddy Krueger, who wishes to possess him and go on a killing spree. Now this reminds me of Will initially, but Jessie has way more similarities with Mike than Will.
For example, Jessie's father 100% inspired Ted Wheeler, in fact he's a straight up rip off.

And this is Holly.
Tumblr media
Look at how the screenwriters discuss this, including Robert freaking Englund himself (who plays Freddy Krueger and Victor Creel)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The screenwriters specifically talk about how one of the things the production designer (who was gay) did to add gay subtext was a sign on Jessie's bedroom door that said 'NO out of town CHICKS ALLOWED'
Tumblr media
The Duffers know this, I'm sure.
So this ....
Tumblr media
This freaking ONE WAY sign pointing into Mike's closet? Deliberate, legitimate gay subtext.
