“No, I won’t. I don’t get scared like that anymore.”
WILL BYERS (Stranger Things | The Vanishing of Will Byers 1.1)
My hottest take is both Mike and El wanted to break up with each other during their Surfer Boy Pizza talk
wait what if mike and will are getting pulled in opposite directions by the vines in the upside down and we get to see them desperately reach out towards one another while screaming each other’s names?????
funny. but not funny haha. funny sus🤭
Trying to crack the code like
I just read a post the other day and it was a writer (I love them) saying Mike’s speech was good NOT BECAUSE IT WAS GOOD OR WELL WRITTEN but because it’s definitely some dumb shit a 15 year old kid would say when they’re trying to just say things and I’m laughing cause that’s so fucking true.
Like the speech isn’t good, it’s not deep or well done, but that is so something a kid would say, like it’s realistic and cringey. The more you think about it though, the funnier it is, because Mike was forced into giving the confession and he really said “okay fuck what do people say in those shit movies— oh! I love you on your good and bad days…uh…shit shit okay, I loved you since the first time I saw you! Yeah that’s good, and (what did that one guy say in that movie my mom loves?) my life started the day I met you!”
Like the more you think about it, it’s so fucking funny because it’s so obvious they took the most basic lines from cheesy rom com movies and made Mike say them. Because that’s ABSOLUTELY how a stressed kid would act in this situation. It really looks like Mike heard this stuff in a movie and saw the girl swoon there and just thinks it’s gonna do the job.
Do I ever want to watch it? No it makes me vomit it’s horrendous, but when you look at it from the light I think we’re supposed to, it’s hilarious because it’s so Mike.
IM SORRY I JUST NOTICED EL ACTUALLY HITS WILL WITH THE FLOWERS SHE GOT FROM MIKE AND THIS IS THE FUNNIEST SHIT I'VE EVER SEEN😭😭
LIKE THIS IS HILARIOUS IDK
no we joke about it a lot because we know its not gonna happen but if we actually get misha and jensen kissing on camera it could be dangerous i think this website would explode and the universe would shift and all of our brains chemistry would be changed forever
Okay but honestly the thing I think about the most is how they REALLY didn’t need to make Will in love /w Mike to show the audience that he is gay??? Like i get that in real life it happens a lot, hell I was in love with my straight best friend, but this is a TV show… YOU LITERALLY COULD HAVE JUST BROUGHT IN A LOVE INTEREST FOR HIM JUST LIKE YOU DID ROBIN??
It just doesn’t make sense why you would do that and make Byler not happen 🫣
