#like the first had set it up to where they couldve taken it in any direction! altho it makes sense that the direction wpuld be to expand on

what are the most and least believable byler theories to you? personally i 100% believe dustin’s line about mike complaining about joyce’s job HAD to have been about will bc it’s just too specific for them to bring up again after specifically establishing will being mad mike didn’t call more. on the other hand i feel like the being different/you’re the heart music theory is a bit of a stretch..

i agree that i dont think the music thing is intentional. when i listened to it it didnt sound right together at all.

there are some things that i really wanna believe bc itd be cool as shit but im still on the fence about. like the one of suzies house and the girl on the ground choking and the kid telling his dad “your terror? it looked genuine!” being a parallel to mike’s monologue. visually i completely understand where the theory came from but the dialogue im not sure. the word “terror” throws me off because if thats paralleled to mikes monologue that implies that mike wasnt actually scared for el’s life which isnt true at all. if the kid said something like “your performance looked genuine” then that could have been applied to mike saying he loves her and i’d be more sold.

another one im not sure about but i would love if it is intentional is the pineapple pizza. it is interesting especially that he ended up liking it but i think it also easily couldve just been a comic relief moment to interrupt mike and el’s conversation.

this one is more of production kinda theory than a plot theory but some people think bylers had a significant moment on 1x1, 2x2, 3x3, and 4x4 so theyre expecting something big to happen for the fifth episode of s5. honestly i think this is a coincidence and im not gonna expect anything when i watch 5x5. thats like a taylor swift level easter egg. like taylor is fucking crazy in the song betty at 2:46 she says the line “james get in” and in august at 2:46 she says the line “get in the car”. that kinda reminds me of this theory and honestly i just dont think the duffers would think to hint at byler through episode numbers. i think when its not dialogue or actions they mostly rely on the set design, music, and cinematography.

i also dont consider mikes cliff jump in s1 a suicide attempt. i know the audience was told that no one would survive that but i think mike thought he would survive and he just might get hurt. i also dont think will was on his mind when he did this. he did it to save dustin.

and this one might be an unpopular opinion but i dont really believe anything related to the number 7 being a byler thing. that was mentioned once in the first episode and it was just to show that in dnd will got taken by the demogorgan and foreshadow what happens to will. yes, he told mike and only mike but i wouldnt at all consider that a byler moment, it was just relevant to the plot and i dont think any other unimportant mention of the number 7 is related to byler at all like mike saying in s3 “sorry that made me sound like a 7 year old” or him drinking 7up on the car. i especially dont buy it when people start doing math with episode numbers or something like that.

some i fully believe in are the mlvn parallels to stancy with both mike and nancy not able to say they love them and both heart to hearts with who they actually love on top of a car. (tho i think that wouldve been more impactful if they didnt bring stancy back outta nowhere but i dont think nancy likes steve back.)

another parallel is when jancy was murrayd and murray said to nancy that shes probably afraid to accept herself for who she really is and that she shouldnt return to the safety of steve bc “we like steve but we dont love steve”. that applies perfectly to mike and i think it was intentional foreshadowing mikes future struggle with his sexuality and liking will more than el, especially considering the fact that this was told to both mike and wills siblings… the other version of byler. i also think this was foreshadow for mike because for nancy i really cannot think of anything she was struggling with where she would be given advice to “accept herself for who she really is”. her story that season was grieving her best friend and wanting to give barbs family closure and having relationship issues with steve because she had feelings for jonathan. thats not much of an internal struggle of accepting herself.

theres a lot of theories i see go around that i think are a stretch ngl but there are sooo many things that i do think are intentional so its always fun no matter what to see what other people think and form my own opinions.

notes. this couldve been shorter but ella said dont be a pussy so here we are, an audacious cock instead-[gunshot]

               it won’t be fun. baffling, the way she even said it. fun, like it’s a fucking playdate. hell, very well could be when his mother is being completely unserious off base; line of thinking all but muddled in nostalgia. is that baby sabrina?  oh, sweet girl ... oh, look at that smile ...  /  an unexpected second reunion, unfortunate as it was with company this time, has lead to the pestilent this: a few old, string-tied albums pile near the curved, wooden legs of an ottoman. one was propped over the cushion and splayed open for him to peer onto over his fawning mother’s shoulders from where he entered. of course, uriah cringes already, aware of her recent fixation. of course, she’d unearthed pictures of sabrina and uriah as children and nearly devastated herself making the endearing connection later on. he couldn’t fathom why she’d reminisce on them, anyway. awfully shy, uriah loathed photos taken of himself. school photos were a particular dread; the smallest boy in class, off to the side, looking away with a bored frown, occasionally swapped with a scowl when placed front and center for headshots as if to intimidate whoever dared take his picture, as if to damage final product with visualised umbrage, trajected in a way that doesn’t require any articulating. really,  uriah was mortified. uneasy when crowded over others deemed strangers, even when most of his weekdays were spent school-bound with them. their gazes were always speculative, and later on pitiful in a way that uriah rejected completely. racked him with rage he only managed to subdue for his parents' sake,   channeled then into something else;  something formidable and yet costly ⎯⎯  but then there was also sabrina olson.  the only to nearly match his height of his peers back when. she'd dealt with similar spectators, too. for differing reasons uriah wasn’t as concerned by but in a way he was a spectator himself. hard not to be. she was only ever right there, at his direct line of vision where he didn’t need to strain his neck looking up or ducking down to see her and partly it’s that uriah wanted to. he was constantly aware of where she was around him, almost instinctively. the very mention of her name as if it was his own, uriah knew where to look and how she’d look; however that also meant she had to be seeing him, too. as easy as he sees her. as direct, and as is. even closer than most have to certain degrees ⎯⎯ and that scared him shitless.

           ... well. at first, that is,  but all seems fairly distant now and uriah was not not too keen on looking back on memories as often as one would usually. even happy ones and sabrina made up a great deal of those,     but it’s difficult to reminisce on the good, knowing the bad  ⎯  the harrowing   ⎯  would follow soon after. only now does he recall that sense of fear unease she’d invoked in him the first time she saw him. dreads it as he takes her in from where he impatiently stood by, evidently misplaced in her new world and waiting for his cue before finally making proper approach. fist makes a tightened vice over the silvered head of a raven accustomed to his tastes,   uncomfortably aware by the many years passed and the jarring growth spurt that sets them entirely apart, with each deliberate and guided step he takes towards her. “sabrina,” both a call for her attention and a greeting most constipated. “you’re welcome to join my family for dinner at ours this evening. if you’re available, and should you want to.” each word as if constricted before released, latter part tacked on defensively. a slightly paraphrased version of what he’s asked to deliver at the behest of his eager mother a full week ago: ‘would you please, just please tell her we’d like to have her over for dinner?’ fuck, he officially ran out of obligations to pretend to busy himself with. absolutely hates it when she, of all people, begs for anything. as if he wouldn’t do anything she'd ask of him,  and she knew that of her sweet boy,   but he had to put up a fight. avoided looking at her altogether; knowing any chance of him attempting to dissuade her would instantly vanish sooner than he’d like. ‘sometime soon, maybe? you know how your father and I’s weeks look like. you find what day works best for everyone.’ lips slowly allow for the merest hint of a smirk all knowing. fine, then. if it’s for him to decide ⎯⎯ and keep hers in consideration, uriah. and yours. don’t make me check after you. chides him preemptively, knowing of her son but he can hear the soft, pleading smile she has in her voice.   the very one he's actively looking away from, so alas. uriah exhales and gives a brief nod, bitch baby defeated. “my mother, she’s ... she's happy to see you again.” again, deliberately removing himself from this.
