GUYS GUYS GUYS!!!!! I totally just figured out the lip-sync leak!!!1! Mike and Eleven have a very deep and romantic conversation together, and they completely debunk byler!!! so cute and slay <3
[Turn your sound on I promise it's better]

inspired by @will80sbyers lovely twilight interpretation :D
Both of these scenes are so similar and the captions both say … after the just! I can’t help but think they planned on byler endgame/ Mike being gay since s1.
lol i think its silly that the only party members who have actually SEEN suzie now are mike and will (not counting dustin obviously) like what if we get a scene with like lucas or smth asking 'so is she (suzie) really hotter than phoebe cates?' and mike and wills gay asses just there like 🕴
Steve is gonna figure out Mike is gay and it’s not bc his gaydar is any good (it’s not), or because he himself is fruity (I don’t have any strong opinions on the bi Steve hc so), but because fast times is his “do they like boobies” detector and he’s gonna hear Mike loudly complaining about how overrated pheobe cates is and how that one shot at 53 minutes 5 seconds didn’t serve the plot at all and was so unnecessary (Mike’s words not mine), and Steve’s brain will immediately go 🚨gay🚨and he’ll run to Robin so fast like “ROB MIKE DOESNT LIKE FAST TIMES DO U KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS” and she’ll just be like “wtf are you- OHHHHHH”
Not the fact that Mike is the only straight male character to not show interest in any girls that aren't his girlfriend.
Steve likes Robin and dates a lot in season 4. Lucas calls Phoebe Cates hot. Dustin has a crush on Nancy, likes Max before Suzie, calls Phoebe Cates hot, and tries asking other girls at the Snow Ball to dance after he's rejected. Jonathan has a momentary flirt with a goth girl at the Halloween party. Hopper calls his ex-wife in season 1.
Not even just boys, Robin also thinks Phoebe Cates is hot as well as Tammy Thompson, not just Vickie. Max and El(so this isn't a Milkvan thing) talk about Ralph Macchio being attractive and Max checks out Steve in season 4. Joyce dates Bob and takes momentary comfort in cuddling with Lonnie in season 1 in one scene. Even ERICA makes her doll makeout with Lucas' action figure in season 2.
Will doesn't talk about attraction at all. Neither does Mike, actually. He just has a girlfriend. He doesn't even talk about attraction to her, actually. Others do that for him. The closet he every got was hypothetical and gender neutral when telling El why the Snow Ball isn't for siblings. His actions seem to reflect attraction but the consistency of it is still...an interesting contrast.
Even his character description makes a point that he hasn't liked a girl before.
