New analysis:

S4 ep5: Mike and Will talk when they're sitting on the car, in addition to being a parallel to other scenes like the one with Jancy for example, there's the “emotional and tender” music again, and Mike says “I should've explained myself. Maybe Eleven would've taken me with her and things would be different.” “I didn't know what to say” yet it would have been easy to know what to say, he had to tell El that he loves her and long before that moment, and maybe nothing of that would have happened; and explain WHAT Mike? There shouldn't be anything to explain, Mike loves El and tells him so or he doesn't (at least not romantically). Especially since in episode 4 he says “if I would’ve said that thing” so he KNOWS basically what he should have said.

Then Will continues by saying “Sometimes I think it’s just scary to open up like that.” he mainly talks about himself and his feelings for Mike but he adds “Because, what if... what if they don’t like the truth?” and Mike nods at that exact moment, meaning he agrees with that sentence. Except that if Mike tells El he loves her, El would be happy so why wouldn't she like it? What I mean is that the only truth Mike could tell about his feelings that El wouldn't like is that he doesn't like her (and maybe he loves someone else, you know what I mean?)

When Mike arrives in California Will is happy and wants to hug him but Mike is distant. A lot of people said it was because he realized that he missed Will a little too much and that he feels a little more than friendship for him, that's why he doesn't get too close to him and is embarrassed. But what if it was also because he was jealous and hurt? At the beginning of the previous episode, El writes to Mike “Will is painting a lot” “Maybe it is for a girl? I think there is someone he likes” and Mike is not at all ok with that, especially when he sees that Will took his painting with him. That's why he has a hard time getting in touch (literally and why he rarely speaks to her while he's gone) with Will.

They are the same. And if Mike is the same as Will that means Mike loves Will, right? Both would like to grow up but they can't, they are afraid.

"Growing. Changing. And I guess... If I’m being really honest, that’s what scared me."

Look at the light on their face (and around them) one side is blue, the other side is yellow.

"When blue meets yellow in the west"

Need I remind that they are for the first time together in the west?

(oh and their clothes are also almost entirely blue and yellow)

Then, remember the previous scene: Mike says "I asked for vomit green and I got vomit green" and looking at Will "Isn't that awesome?"

Blue and yellow make green.

Do I need to explain more?

BYLER TRUTHERS THAT ARE ON TIKTOK BYLER TRUTHERS THAT ARE ON TIKTOK BYLER TRUTHERS THAT ARE ON TIKTOK,

i SUGGEST (if you don’t already) to follow both @/naturallybrielle and @/causeineedu !!

they make great analysis videos and go into extreme detail over byler, i literally am addicted to their content and had to expose them to other bylers that don’t know of them yet. <3

gm byler nation!

just dropping in with a reminder for if you're ever having byler doubt!

just think about this for a second:

the duffer brothers would have had no reason to acknowledge/confirm or even establish will's love for mike (and therefore byler, by extension) if not to have a confession/confrontation included in the next season of the show.

if they had pretended the romantic tension between mike and will hadn't existed in the first place then yes, it would be queerbating, but they might have been able to slip away with it (legally, maybe not emotionally) whilst still maintaining a shred of plausible deniability.

but now seeing as they have acknowledged will's sexuality and the object of his affections (😏) and managed to boost byler to be equally, if not more popular than the "true" canon ship, they now are obligated to acknowledge it in the show, especially as they talk about season 5 focusing on will coming into himself more.

now if we put two and two together, we will remember milkvan's . umm. ?issues, and the amount of season 5 bts we've got of each pair respectively up to this point, with mike and will seeming to almost always be together, as well as their promises of being a "team" this season, and realise that if a confrontation has/is going to happen, wouldn't the bts we're getting look a little bit. idk. different??

i, for one, highly doubt that the duffer brothers would have will confess and then be turned down by mike (because come on.

a) what type of representation is that even &

b) why would they even include that? it would just be useless and take away from the mainplot of the story &

c) not acknowledging byler at this point would be blatant queer-bating. as was touched on before.

d) mike is also in love with will, they just can't come out and say it as not to spoil the ?surprise? and spark any controversy before the release of the new season.)

and seriously.

the history that would be made with such an iconic romantic subplot?? hello??????. they can't let all of their plotting and parallels and hints and hard work go to waste. they wouldnt.

therefore, the confrontation must have gone.. *shocked, stunned gasping* .. well???? for byler????

i am SHOCKED.

anyways.

byler doubt? don't know her 💗🌈

byler endgame!!

you're "you never say it" "i say it" "you can't even write it" and i'm "i didn't say it" "you didn't have to" we are not the same
