#also the promo has to really ramp up positively for byler if they expect to pushback all the criticism successfully

The way they framed surfer boy pizza with Mike in s4 makes me optimistic about the prospects of smalltown boy agenda actually

#byler #stranger things #mike wheeler #something about the van scene is so visceral… #the way the shadow of boy passes behind him #the back window is blurry but then boy becomes clear after Mike sees the painting until will says it was from el then blurs again #the way he’s sitting directly in front of it after rink o mania bc his mind was on Will (boy) and not El (girl)… #also the two snack (bar) references in s4 with byler looking incriminating in the frame… #idk smalltown boy agenda is low key still in the running I feel like #in general it's going to be crazy being a byler and seeing the duffers hint about stuff that only we understand #like with that Dawsons creek reference recently #Redditors are out of our league atp #like if smalltown boy was even referenced at all subtly in an obscure ass way… #we would be hyperventilating like okay it’s happening #and everyone else would just be like what?... #same with the milkvan break up in early s5… like we know from a story standpoint it’s guaranteed.. #but no one else is ready for that… #s5 fandom experience is gonna be really satisfying for bylers that’s all I’m gonna say! #also the promo has to really ramp up positively for byler if they expect to pushback all the criticism successfully #there’s going to be a lot of homophobia and claims byler only happened bc of fan service #that’s why I do think they’re going to have no choice but to change their tune #bc it would be weird to go from not considering byler a possibility at all to surprise they're canon #they definitely want people to root for them while watching the last season! #s5 promo is most likely going to be like s4 but a little more intense #it’ll be HILARIOUS seeing people try to downplay obvious evidence #like if hypothetically they dropped a character teaser with all the characters and mike got one with smalltown boy in the background... #we would be on the floor #and all the redditors would be downplaying it like it means nothing!! #tbh I think byler would have to literally kiss for those still convinced there is zero evidence to actually consider it a possiblity #like they are 100% convinced there is zero evidence... and I just can't take that seriously..
