I have a feeling Mike is gonna get Jonathan’d? Why? Because El is his sister too. He saw what Mike said in the van. He knows Mike is lying to El. He heard that Mike said “it wasn’t fate. It wasn’t destiny”. He heard what Will said. He knows. He has heard everything.

I think we overlook the fact that Will canonically likes musicals enough to put a poster of one on his wall.

This is how Finn + Noah interpreted the “It’s not my fault you don’t like girls”. I do not trust what they say at all lol

Controversial take: El was done/broke up with Mike at the end of their argument in S4. In the pizza scene, she was going to talk to him about it/how she feels about their relationship ending, etc. ✌🏻.

Hey guys, big plot hole if Vecna can take away memories/birthday gate. Why didn’t he get rid of Max’s good memories so he didn’t need to fight so hard? It makes a very weird unexplainable plot hole tbh.

While we are talking about the safety of minors, I feel like it would be insightful to share Sadie/Caleb’s words as a minor about their kiss at the snowball. I do not support the Duffer Brother’s for how they handled this. Hollywood is not kind to child actors. It’s atrocious.

If byler isn’t canon, I will not delete my account. Why? Because it will be a remembrance to the worst queerbait and plotline in history. I stand by that. I will not feel bad because it would be 100% queerbait that did it’s job.

@ShawnLevyDirect Shawn, you have accidentally caused half of the Stranger Things fandom to think you are hiding a secret instead of Deadpool 3. I cant- this is the funniest out of context reaction I’ve seen in a little while. People are analyzing your emojis rn 😭😭😭.

Uh- this is very interesting…
Guess what time it is? Music time! So in this scene here, “Eight Fifteen” plays. Unless I am mistaken, the only time the song plays through ST is S2 EP1 when El is revealed to be alive and at Hopper’s house. Weird that Mike is always mirrored with parents #StrangerThings #byler

Not over Mike saying “but the truth is—“ and then saying two completely different things. How obvious can it be that Mike is lying. Guys, come on. “When I stumbled onto her in the woods, she just needed someone. It’s not fate/destiny” versus “i knew right then in there- i love u”

What Noah has been saying has almost 100% been for PR. The release of information for Stranger Things is incredibly strict. All actors + interviewed crew are TRAINED on what to say. You think Noah tweeting about byler in S4 or mentioning/hyping in his lives is just funsies? 🙅🏼♀️.

So um… every character/shot has a line that describes their reaction to the storm that ends in an “…” excep Mike and Will/Nancy and Johnathan. When I tell you I am 100% certain they edited stuff out….

Hey, you know how in Stranger Things, memories that make someone sad but also angry make powers the strongest? I wonder why we haven't had a scene of Will fully explaining or showing how he feels about all he's been through. .

HC: Mike has ADHD and was completely spacing out in the van scene.

daily reminder that Noah in the harness meant very little for Vecna scenes as it’s a harness use for safety and not one for wire work. Most likely used in the van as Noah was still a child actor and has to have increased safety (like a harness in a moving car).

We do not talk about this specific line. Why is it an action line. Why couldn’t this have been directed on set/block during set? Why is important he looks not at Will but “TO” Will in this moment.

Here is my professor at NYU, who has made multiple feature films, works w/ Kevin Hart, is adapting a book to screenplay (and getting paid for it), + oh yeah, writes for one of the biggest film magazines, “American Cinematographer” telling us about how to use a close-up. Sound up

EVERYONE SHUT THE FUCK UP. THE LIGHTING THE ANGLES, ETC— ALL PURPOSEFUL BECAUSE IT WAS FAKED. THAT ALSO MEANS THE ✨LENS FLARES✨ WERE CGI OR 100% PURPOSEFUL. I thought it was on a stage but this cements it for me <3

@retrogrdes @byerbot i’m hoping that without covid delays + covid safety requirements, filming can get done faster + I believe in terms of locations, Stranger Things S5 probably won’t have as many? I think 2024 is still possible.

timeline. if Noah said he thinks Mike likes Will back that would literally spoil S5. Please don't panic lmao.
Things Noah told us during the M&G.- He likes both, jancy&stancy.- Other character he would like to play : Eleven.- More timescreen for Will in S5 and there will be some sort of final battle.- thinks mike doesnt like will back (ships byler ) "we will see" .#StrangerThings #byler.

The biggest proof of byler is this shot because there is so much that you have to think about camera wise to be able to frame something like this. Someday I will break it down but believe me when I say that this is insanely thought through and a hard shot to do.

all I am going to say is Will was acting via what he thought El wanted and Mike acted towards El with what worked with Will. When Will was possessed by the mind-flayer, retelling their first meeting worked… so Mike tried it again with El. Note, Mike is scared of being alone.
OMG MIKES CHARACTER IT CLICKED. HOKY SHI- MAYBE I HAVE SO ETHING. Y’all get ready for another essay <3 Mike Wheeler is just truly trying his best.

So, listen everyone, this is the DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY of stranger things S4 explaining the motivation and vision behind lighting being used for emotional tone instead of space. Tell me… is this not just someone’s analysis on Tumblr? Tired of milevens saying we overthink.

as everyone knows… the way to build up a great character arc is to have a character lose and lose and lose and lose and then, in the final season —wait for it— they lose again! mind blown! 🤯 Wouldn’t that be phenomenal writing that would totally feel satisfying!?!.

The year is 2025. You’re watching ST for the first time. You’re in S3, you watch the rain fight, then Mike asking Will to not join a party. Than onto S4, Mike is playing DND?, painting, the van scene, and then, excited for what’s comes next… S5 ends with Will being rejected.

Mike likes Will. Watching Jonathan's scene, there is no way you'd act like that just for "nervousness". Sorry, rewatching S4 rn and my heart hurts for Mike. He really doesn't know what to do and he deserves a hug.

S5 will have Mike + Will teamed up in some way. There are 3 different references to working together with scenes between just the two of them. “Whatever it is, I think we should work together”. “Looks like it’s gonna be up to us again.” “It always is, isn’t it” “We will, we will”.

Noticed how the camera stays focus on Mike’s face even while Will talks? It tells the audience that Mike’s reaction is important and deeper and Will’s words aren’t what he is dealing with. Subtext subtext subtext.
