there’s something about this little moment here that tells you everything you need to know about the love triangle between mike, el and will.

i remember that video of eduardo talking about how the directors would pause to make finn and noah have a “shared look” and this is so clearly one of those moments. this is so prevalent to bylers’ relationship. they are the first person they look to in a room. they want to share their reactions with each other. they look to each other for reassurance in their own reactions. they know what the other is thinking at just a glance (“i didnt say it” “you didnt have to”). but what is so important about This “shared look” is that mike turns away from will to look at el, almost like he wants to share this moment with her as well. all three of them know what really went down, how its not “a miracle” as lucas says, and they are the Only three that know, it would make sense for them to all share a moment of understanding between the three of them. instead, what happens? mike and will share a look, share understanding, mike then looks to el to share understanding with her, and she is looking away. mike and will both prioritize communicating this revelation with each other while el is only focused on max, she doesn’t need, want, or prioritize that connection at this time. its not that mike and will dont care about max, they simply want to share that care and worry and reaction with each other. i think mike in general wants someone who he can share that type of communication with, so he looks to who’s supposed to be his partner at this moment, el (post love confession they should be closer right?), and simply does not receive it. i think you can even see the little look of disappointment when he turns to her and find she’s not looking back at him. he is looking for the connection he so naturally has with will in who he’s in an Actual Relationship with and cannot find it. he will only ever find that within his relationship with will, there is no replicating it with a girl he is simply not in love with.

this is still such a crazy shot for me

because not only is mike holding up the phone for will, even though will has already taken it, therefore there’s no longer any need for mike’s hand to be there.

but mike is literally standing in a glass booth, shoved inside, while will is standing just on the edge of it, just barely outside.

mike is holding will’s hand, almost as if reaching outside of the glass closet to will, who has just barely taken a step out.

I don't think we talk enough about how traumatized Neal was seeing his father slaughter five guards in front of him.

We defend Rumple for this, kinda like "he was defending his child", but it reminds me a lot of what happened to Goliath in the episode of Gargoyles where he takes Odin's Eye and gets hyperprotective, to the point of toxic control. Which is exactly what happened here. (wait does anyone know of any smutty fics featuring Odin's Eye!Goliath and Elisa...)

I'm just wondering how many times Neal had nightmares of his father killing everyone around him, his father's voice saying "I protected what belongs to me...are you scared, son?"

"I can turn the clock back. Make you 14 again."

"14? I don't wanna be 14 again are you- are you insane?"

😭😭😭 One of the funniest moments in OUAT for me. Michael's delivery is hilarious. And Rumple says it so earnestly too, with zero self-awareness lol.

i can't believe this is an actual shot from the show like the duffers were in such a silly goofy mood

will suggesting el should rob a casino so him and mike could play video games for the rest of their lives is peak chaos. he’s so funny. his sister is missing and he’s like “when we find her we should have her commit CRIMES”. that’s hysterical. he’s just a little gay guy with hopes and dreams of spending his life with mike, another little gay dude. i’ll always love you will byers aka the president of “be gay, do crime” <3

the airport scene really is a cinematic masterpiece

we have argyle and jonathan high as hell

willel excited to see their boo

then this doofus shows up only to have his girlfriend immediately be disappointed by “from: mike”, have a totally “heterosexual” interaction with his best friend, then gets clocked by a guy he doesn’t know for wearing a knock-off

i love every moment of it because in just these 2 minutes you find out everything you need to know about the dynamic between mike, el, and will. this is the first half of the catalyst that takes down mikeven, shows mike’s struggle with his sexuality, and the love will has for mike. it’s chef’s kiss fr i couldn’t have asked for a better scene 🤌

so Finn made a playlist for Mike during the s3 era just like he made another one for Richie and he put "gay thoughts" in Mike's playlist.. no i'm not joking, i mean they literally put gay songs in Mike's official playlist so.. yeah, he also put "me and Michael" in it btw

The lyrics are crazy

ladies, gentlemen, and genders, i introduce to you, mike wheeler, the ultimate boyliker in "disguise"

[skiller0dani]

when byler get in an argument and will reveals everyone forgot his birthday casually and mike just freezes while will keeps going then what

[skiller0dani]

Mike looking at Will: Max get away from the door 🥺❤️

Mike looking at Max: GET AWAY FROM THE DOOR! 🗣🗣

I LOVE this clip because it is a PERFECT example of the "Will voice" that Mike uses.

(+1 bonus point for the iconic lip glance. And another +1 for both of them jumping together at the end)

#byler #stranger things #mike wheeler #will byers #mike wheeler is gay #mike wheeler we know what you are

[skiller0dani]

Probably the funniest contrast within the show.

Love how Will in s4 just constantly looked SO done with everyone's shit

[skiller0dani]

mike needs to tell will that he’s in love with him, not that he loves him. will needs to hear and feel the difference.
