#byler #stranger things #bizarre love triangle playlist #will byers #will’s pov #this song was originally in mike's pov for the early stages of this playlist #but then i was like wtf no this is will all day #'you may not be in the mood to learn what you think you know' #i think a part of will's insecurities with his feelings lie partly in the assumption mike has technically rejected him already (rain fight) #and with how things have only just returned to this awkwardness in s4 #will thinks (fears) mike already know's or senses will is in love with him and is trying to let him down easily #and that's like what most of the ga thinks as well #and so there's this fear of being fully honest with a person who you think might already know how you feel but doesn't feel the same... #'there are times when i find you want to keep yourself from me--when i dont have the strength im just a mirror of what i see' #this is outrageously rink-o-mania coded #will's behavior all day was related to a number of things but the main part is that he was obviously upset mike ignored him #but mike's the one who kind of calls will out for this first #and so it's funny because if mike had never acted so cold with will in the first place they wouldn't be in this situation #will is simply a mirror of what he sees when it comes to mike #and over the years that was unwavering care and support #tho mike's priorities suddenly shifted and so did his behavior towards will #will doesn't have any problem matching that energy #even still. at mike's best he is love to will #mike is a positive motivating force in will's life #“you make her feel like she's not a mistake at all-- like she's better for being different-- and that gives her the courage to fight on” #“It was the best thing i've ever done” #'if you ever feel the need to wonder why. let me know' #*enter van scene* #4x05 #gif
