mike: yeah, im actually not worried about that at all right now, im literally thinking about all the reasons we just don't work.
will: i am the most selfless person alive so im just going to try to reassure you using my feelings but replacing my name with hers, maybe that'll make you feel better and i can get my feelings off my chest even though it's killing me inside.
mike: wow your words made me feel more loved than i have in my entire life, if those are her feelings then i guess maybe it is love, despite the fact that nothing you described makes any sense in relation to her feelings because you clearly aren't talking about her but im oblivious and an idiot so im not gonna pick up on that fact.
no one asked but the fact that the original script of the last episode in s3 is the biggest "mike realized he isn't in love in love with el" truther proof to ever exist
the original script had mike's pov:
the edited one removed mike's pov:
interesting, right?
What the hell just happened here?
like bruh your girlfriend just told you she feels the same way, that she loves you, even kissed you on the mouth but the first thought that went into your head is "what the hell just happened here?" YOU LITERALLY CAN'T MAKE THIS SHIT UP
I DONT GIVE A SHIT IF YOU ARE A BYLER OR MILEVEN SHIPPER YOU BETTER BE ANGRY AT THIS SHIT
I was scrolling through the anti byler tag just to see what was there for fun. I did next expect to be so distributed and pissed off. This was only 5 minutes of scrolling.
Within the 5 minutes I scrolled through that tag, i was able to find so much homophobia. I mean whether you ship byler or mileven, you should all feel so upset by this shit. This is homophobia. Queer people are still being killed for who they are, and shit like this is why.
If you are homophobic, racist, ableist, sexist, or any other hateful group, you don’t belong in the stranger things fandom. Literally you are the people who are the bad guys on the show.
honestly, after that i REALLY don't want will to have powers. like i already didn't like that theory, but after reading that script? even more so.
he doesn't need another reason to hate himself or feel different or be in agony or stress like... leave him alone.
also, if everyone does realize how important will is to them (because most of them have been really fucking shitty to him, not just mike), i don't want it to be because he has powers or because he dies.
i want them to look at will for all that he is and go wow, he's amazing. because he IS amazing and he's worth loving.
he is so kind and selfless and thoughtful, the fact that he hates himself is just so utterly heartbreaking???
i don't care how we get there, i need him to get a happy ending. he doesn't deserve to die, or to get rejected, or to be ignored, he deserves to be happy and loved for all that he is and have the life he's always wanted.
no but just imagine Mike going to Nancy after El breaks up with him because he's just so confused and he asks her what it's like to be in love with someone
and Nancy tells him that being in love with someone is feeling your true self around that person and just needing them and wanting them to be happy and just basically lists all the things Mike feels when he's with Will
and then Nancy asks if that's how he felt with El and he just answers "no" a bit too quickly and she asks "do you feel like this with someone else?" and Mike tells her yes but he doesn't specify because he's just so confused, he's always felt like this with Will and never thought it was anything more than friendship but now it feels like love and he's scared
and he just blurts out what this person makes him feel, how right he feels whenever they are around, how beautiful they are, how he thinks he might love them, and when he's done Nancy just goes: "Mike. I think you should tell him all of this"
and that's it, that's Mike coming out scene and he cries and Nancy cries and I'm crying
