Will Byers BTS Pictures? I don’t know if you can hear this, but… but if you can, I want you to know I’m here, okay? I’m right here. And… I love you. Will Byers BTS Pictures? Do you hear me? I love you. I’m sorry I don’t say it more. I… It’s not because I’m scared of you. I’m not. I’ve never felt that way. Never. But I am scared that one day you’ll realise you’re not needed anymore. And I thought that if I said how I felt, it would somehow make that day further away. But the truth is, Will Byers BTS Pictures, I don’t know how to live without you. I feel like my life started that day I found you in 1080p on Instagram on March 22 2024. You were wearing that beautiful letterman jacket. And it was so blue and yellow it almost spoiled byler endgame. And I knew right then and there, in that moment, that I loved you. And I’ve loved you every day since. I love you on your good days. I love you on your bad days. I love you with your letterman jacket, I love you with your farm outfit. I love you for exactly who you are. You’re my favourite character. And… I can’t lose you. Okay? Do you hear me? I can’t lose you. You can do anything. You can make me fly. You can make me pass all my reports. I believe that. I really do. But right now, you just have to appear. Okay? Will Byers BTS Pictures. Do you hear me? You need to come out! You have to reveal yourself. Reveal yourself! Hurry!
and when "its not my fault you dont love el" comes out of will byers' mouth in s5 THEN WHAT?!?!
Lucas Sinclair slowly losing faith in milkvan is my favorite thing.
Like, he was the first one to tell Mike that he likes El, and basically prompted their first kiss by accident. Then he gives mike advice about her all throughout S3, thinking that mike is clueless but in love.
But after season 4, he notices some weird things.
"That's not how love should feel, Mike. You shouldn't have to lie, or destroy yourself."
"She's not a superhero, she's your girlfriend."
"If you really love her, why was everything you said a lie?"
"Mike. It's okay. Maybe she isn't the one."
I prefer short haired mike to long haired mike..
And I’m so happy we’re getting him back in st5 YAY!
I love the idea that Mike is the leader of the group but he’s also whipped af for Will so Will is like the group’s compass—Mike may make the decisions and take the lead but he’s guided by Will’s thoughts, feelings, and perspective more than anyone else’s. We kinda see this in s3 where Will says the Mind Flayer is back and Mike is like ALRIGHT PEOPLE THE MIND FLAYER IS BACK TIME TO MOBILIZE, even in s2 he’s there as support for Will and doesn’t take the lead until Will is at Hopper’s cabin, out of Mike’s reach.
He’s the group’s compass….and the Heart, for Mike at least
Hello! Ok but this is so fucking cute, I love it!
I can definitely see Mike thinking of Will like that!
honestly the biggest byler proof is the fact that ive seen milevens convert to byler after seeing evidence in favor of byler but never a byler converting to mileven when seeing evidence in favor of mileven (if there is any). if that doesnt speak volumes idk what does. once someone is a byler nothing will switch them to a mileven, cant say the same about milevens though.
Parallel rain fight in season 5??
Its not my fault you dont love ell ??
.......then what????
the question was how mike and will’s relationship evolved
reblogging bc im still not over this
a useless hair analysis because what else do we have right now
will's hair growing longer until it's cut short in s4, the season in which he's finally out to the audience. his hair was longest in the season where he was most hinted at being gay, but not yet confirmed.
mike's hair growing longer throughout the show, also having his hair longest in the season where he's most hinted at being gay —
until s5, where his hair is the shortest and he's finally out to the audience
I really really really want a super tension filled almost kiss between Byler before we get an actual kiss, I think that’ll make the build up feel even bigger and more exciting
I personally want it to be like, they just narrowly escaped something or they got separated and they grab at each other and hold each other’s upper arms/shoulders really close to each other (kinda like a parallel of Halloween in s2) and checking on each other (“Are you okay? Are—are you hurt?” “I’m okay, I’m okay—are you—?” “I’m okay.”) and they’re breathing hard and filled with adrenaline and they look up into each others’ eyes and the moment like, freezes, the camera stays on a mid-sized side shot of both of them looking at each other, and one of them (Miiiike, make it Miiiike) glances down at the other’s lips, and both of their eyelids grow heavy and start to close and they start to lean forward juuust an inch before—
they’re interrupted
and neither is sure if they read into it or not and both gaslight themselves for just a little longer that their feelings aren’t reciprocated
Hello!
OMG I need this to be a thing! Like, I can see it in my head so clearly!!! You're a genius
oomf posted this and got me thinking because i could have sworn i’ve noticed this instance before. and then it hit me—
but not will’s— mike’s
stay with me here because it really does make sense once you crack the surface.
i want to first present you all this image because it is vitally important for this microanalysis:
the scene was shot in a studio, which means this:
along with the whole of this scene, is shot with artificial lighting. cinematographers/directors have full control to enhance what’s going on in this scene. to tell us what’s really being said here.
sorry for the shitty quality i had to record this on my ipad bc i couldn’t find the damn scene anywhere 😭
now let me reiterate: will is leaning further into the shot as mike is saying “she’s special.” he’s leaning in and the light is following him.
mike continues, and for some reason, as we’re hearing about “el”, the shot lingers on will, and he is in total focus.
notice how the light amps up as mike goes on.
this is the last shot before we cut back to mike, and will is more illuminated than ever.
idk about you but to me it feels like the light is literally begging viewers to realize that mike is talking about will here (in terms of him being special, and mike being one of the first people to realize it).
like “hey, he’s right here, this guy right here, this is who he’s really talking about. i’m literally putting him under a SPOTLIGHT right now.”
what’s even more interesting about this is the line mike says that triggers a cut back to him:
“but the truth is, when i stumbled on her in the woods, she just needed someone. it’s not fate. it’s not destiny. it’s just simple dumb luck.”
(again sorry for the dog shit quality and led light interference)
clearly this is no longer about will, but here’s an interesting connection to the textual references @love-byers makes in the post i linked at the top:
so which one is it mike? which is the truth?
what you said while in a calm space with the one person who you feel most comfortable opening up to, or what you said while the fate of el’s life depended on you saying as much as you can so she doesn’t die?
truth vs hyperbole.
why would mike feel the need to exaggerate what he’s already expressed to will in the van?
unless of course, he had someone else on his mind while saying he doesn’t know how live without “el”.
and the scary “i feel like my life started the day we found you in the woods”
says the mike who truthfully denied it as fate or destiny that very day.
tracing back to “maybe i was one of the first people to realize that.” who was will’s first friend? mike.
who claimed that asking will to be his friend was the best thing he’s ever done (which contrasts what mike says about stumbling on el in the woods, too)? mike.
and again, who claimed that finding el in the woods wasn’t fate or destiny, as a character who’s shown disbelief in love at first sight before? mike.
who thinks will is special? mike.
how am i certain? well that’s the crazy part of all this, because it’s handed to us during the very speech that follows— will’s.
why does it feel like we see mike’s face more than will’s during his veiled confession?
because WILL IS TALKING ABOUT MIKE.
and when will is talking about himself, the camera is on him:
so tell me why this:
is any different. we’re shown both will and mike’s reactions to each other an excessive and (mainly in mike’s case) almost unnecessary amount of times. not because of random artistic choice or fully to emphasize on will’s heartbreak or mike’s intent listening, but to stress that they are literally talking about each other when the words apply.
if mike is obviously not thinking about el (because if he would he’d be looking at the painting seeing as that’s the only physical thing he has of her presently) and instead looking at will like this WHEN HE ISN’T EVEN LOOKING:
then it’s entirely possible that will leaning in so he’s properly positioned to be drowned in beautiful light as mike goes on about how he was one of the first people to realize that “el” was special is entirely evident and intentional.
this is just my take as a learning film student, not sure if it’s controversial or not but this was fun!
I love how both the Byler fights were basically “something’s off about you, Mike, what’s your deal?” “you’re not my boyfriend, so don’t call me out!”
Because Mike is always the one pointing out relationships. Mike’s the one highlighting that they’re not romantic. It’s on Mike’s mind. And that’s canon. And people insist that Mike is straight?
gonna keep it real im more excited about seeing byler edits on tiktok when s5 comes out more than byler actually happening.
I am mohammed ayyad of Gazans, living in very difficult conditions because of the war that the Gaza Strip is under. Since the outbreak of the war on the seventh of October we have been evacuating .Then the journey of suffering and separation began,because my children were separated and evacuated from our home without covering or clothes., From here they became infected with diseases, and what increased our fatigue was the constant upbringing due to the different areas in which we were displaced, as we were displaced 9 times, and this was very expensive, the last of which was the 9th of this August from Hamad Town. In addition to that, we have lived in the summer season in a tent that did not exceed three meters, closed with nylon, so it is like an agricultural greenhouse atmosphere. It is very hot. All in all, we live difficult days that no human beings can affordWe have no work because of the war, and we do not have any kind of money and this is accompanied by a crazy and horrible rise in prices.Although water is not suitable for drinking, this is the cause of many diseasesThe last suffering is that we are out of Hamad without taking our purposes or our tents and now we are searching the earth in the roads and our children and our elderly parents are suffering..So we use direct donation including what they can or share links fully so people can know our tragedy and pain. Remember a small contribution can make a difference in the lives of many children who are dealing with their health condition all. Leave their details and make them happy with your generous contribution.
im sorry guys but everytime i read a byler analysis/s5 theory and you guys abbreviate "mind flayer" as "mf" my mind immediately reads it as "mother fucker" and it makes me so confused everytime because wdym "the mother fucker is possessing will" ITS SO FUNNY TO ME
Daily reminder that Mike Wheeler is fucking smart because some of y’all seem to forget that :]
