It was a Seven

“You only ship byler because you think two men kissing is hot!”

Literally me:

I think we all know what kind of reaction we'd get if we answered this

Me if I see one more midleven say the reason el and mike are endgame is because, “they said ‘i love you’”.

okay theres byler doubt and theres byler ANXIETY

byler DOUBT is when you are doubting the legitimacy of the byler proofs, or come across a piece of info that makes you question that byler will be canon

byler ANXIETY is those random bouts of terror that DESPITE the proofs and despite the evidence we are still wrong and byler will not be canon somehow even though we can all see the evidence CLEARLY

They have the cliché of fighting in the rain, being interrupted several times when talking and acting weird as if they were doing something wrong, There's the cliché of the love triangle, of best friends to lovers, I mean- just because it's gay doesn't make you see things romantically?

not to MENTION the “we’re friends, WE’RE FRIENDS!”… name ONE time a character said that and they didn’t end up with said “friend”, I’ll wait

Byler is literally so obvious they had a rain fight, like what in the wattpad—

I hate that so many debates are based on one being a heterosexual couple and the other a homosexual couple. I hate—I mean, I know the setting, the era in which the series is set clearly gives a lot of weight to this topic, but I mean—

I hate that a sexuality is a reason to give more credibility to a ship. I hate the security you have just because Mileven is heterosexual. I hate that you treat the LGBT community like a statistic. I hate that you treat us like crazy just for thinking that a gay couple could be the main character on such a popular show.

I know the way I think about things is too far from becoming reality. We'll probably never put sexualities aside and never think that it's just about love and that's it.

But it's so… frustrating… I love watching Mike and Will. They seem so cute together, they complement each other so well, and you'd have to be blind not to realize they love each other. But then I see mainly people on TikTok discussing sexuality, comments that are clearly homophobic, and I just wonder day and night why it's so hard for them to see things as they are without overthinking the issue.

I mean, sorry if I'm explaining myself poorly, it's clearly an important point for Mike to understand his sexuality and the LGBT community to be visible.

It's simply… I would like that at some point, being part of this community wouldn't feel like having to make MORE effort to be able to win at something.

it’s also “unrealistic” to the time period that Steve would accept Robin, clearly they don’t care about sticking to your idea of the 80s

so i was rewatching s3 and

mike what kind of reaction is that? it’s only your best friend talking why do you look so startled?? hm🤨

He knows he's messing things up, he knows he screwed up, he knows something isn't right, in the future he'll know the reason for the whole "problem" and he'll try to fake dementia and his future self will fix things and be himself.

In case anyone has doubt that byler is endgame ☺️ his reaction is very suspicious

Although you obviously had to say you don't know, you didn't have to act so guilty Mr. Finn Wolfhard.
