This is everything

#byler #will byers #mike wheeler #analysis #Will growing up with Jonathan encouraging him that being is freak the best #and that it’s way better to like the things you like and embrace it #than to pretend to be someone you’re not #whereas mike doesn’t have someone close to him encouraging him to be himself #which is why they clash so much in s3 #followed by Eddie sort of being that influence on mike to be more true to himself and what he likes #they’re arcs go so well together #i was thinking about this the other day in regards to their s3 vs s4 funkos #wills s3 funko is connected to dnd #mikes s4 funko is connected to dnd #they’re also the only characters with dnd related funkos #and that just speaks volumes #specifically when it comes to mike pretending he didn’t want to play in s3 #only to do a 180 in s4 with it being pretty much his main focus in Hawkins in s4 #like that’s gotta be the biggest byler evidence to me #Mike loving dnd arguably more than all of them #only to drop it #then pick it back up again #it’s so weird even now still seeing Redditors claim will was childish for wanting to play in s3 #tho they have nothing to say about Mike switching up in s4 #does that make him childish then?? #or is there more to it…? #he’s also the one who put the no gfs and dnd for the rest of their lives together #in our heads in the first place #he voiced it as not something that he hated the idea of but that he saw as not being an option #he saw it as something he had to let go of almost and just jump into the life he’s expected to live…
