hello! welcome to my blog :)
*note: my love for stranger things is about the fictional world and the fictional characters, not the actors. i don’t keep up with the cast anymore and there are some actors i don’t support at all. just because i love certain characters does not mean i love all the actors.
- if it wasn’t already obvious, i really love analysing! i first started watching stranger things in 2016 when it first came out and i started analysing just after season 2 came out. i mostly focus on byler because will has always been my ultimate favourite character (again, character, NOT actor) in the show so i’m always rooting for his happiness, and all my analysis posts are my own opinions based on a LOT of observations and deep thinking lol :’)
- i understand not everyone views things the same way and that’s fine. my goal is NOT to make anyone uncomfortable with my posts. this is just a space for me to share my thoughts and theories. everything is tagged accordingly too, so please feel free to block any tags you don’t want to see
here are some links to help navigate:
- my byler posts (this is just everything byler related that i’ve posted myself)
- byler analysis tag (my own posts + other people’s posts)
- stranger things season 5 tag (theories + potential spoilers!)
my favourite byler posts/analysis posts of mine:
- why mike and will have the best relationship on the entire show
- the big difference between these two relationships (byler vs mileven)
- mike, will & el: lies vs truth
- why mike and will are the ones that belong together and need each other more than anything
- mike’s monologue but i edited it to call out every single lie and contradiction [video]
- why byler being endgame makes the most sense and would be the most beautiful outcome
- “it’s always been you” byler photoset
- almost everything “romantic” mike has done for el, he actually did for will first
- will cannot “steal” mike from el, especially when he loved him first
- mike’s monologue to will in season 2
- both of mike’s monologues happened because of will
- why a lot of people love byler
- me yapping about how much i love will and why he deserves to be happy
- mike’s expressions during the van monologue
- will’s art and the d&d party have always been a big part of mike and will’s relationship
- mike and will have the most compatible MBTI types
- everything goes back to will and mileven wouldn’t even be a thing without him
how i feel whenever i make a byler analysis post:
*also, a very important disclaimer that shouldn’t even need to be said but i will say anyways: i do NOT hate el in the slightest and won’t tolerate el hate. i love her so much and she’s one of the most precious characters to me, but i do not love mileven. i adore the bond they share platonically, but i think their relationship went downhill when it turned romantic. and yes, they’ve both done things to hurt each other (and others around them) so while i may criticise both her and mike sometimes, it’s not hating on them as people. i also do NOT blame el in the slightest for certain things and i am aware she’s trying so incredibly hard and she had a traumatic childhood so she’s still learning things. i just find it devastating seeing both mike and el suffer so badly with their own insecurities and not feel like equals with each other. they don’t even comfort each other properly or have honest communication. also, it’s canon that will was used as a plot device to push mike into saying “i love you” and he’s also suffering seeing them together so i obviously hate everything about that
