Just Curious

Fall miwi with wooden swords !

Thinking about the fact that Mike and Will are insinuated and blatantly shown to be attached at the hip, crying-screaming-throwing up over each other for an entire decade and now fighting / showing signs of romantic interest in each other (one confirmed)….but NOT ONE SINGLE SOUL over the course of this entire show (including their parents) has ever called their relationship brotherly or said they were like family?

honestly I’m still floored. Like.

As someone who has watched a million and a half shows and movies, “you’re my brother” or “they’re like family” is one of the easiest plausible deniability things you can do in writing to give yourself an out for a queercoded friendship (especially one with a confirmed gay character)…and the duffers absolutely refused to do it—and instead gave the familial coding to mlvn. It’s iconic.

Will’s tragic “unrequited” love for Mike is very funny apparently. Unless it’s not unrequited at all. 🫢

actually still thinking of that joyce taught will how to dance for snowball as the following partner post + how nobody in the notes lost their shit yet. miraculous lol

byler first kiss where will is kind of a bad kisser at the start, but mike finds it charming because it's will's first ever kiss, he's will's first ever kiss — and he is definitely prepared to teach will more.
