what's this? a possession theory post where mike's romantic subplots matter? i thought the day would never come
the contrast between byler and romantic mileven is so important to understanding what mike is actually trying to say
he doesn't let himself be weird and possessive about el once he actually starts thinking about it, because that's not the kind of thing that fits with their relationship, but he does let himself be selfish about will
that's genuinely behaviour that's stemming from the root of romantic feelings, like we're supposed to believe is what was going on with el in season 3, except mike himself told us that that's stupid and not him
that isn't what's happening in his relationship with el. mike doesn't want to hide el away forever. mike wouldn't get mad when she had other friends. the anger and jealousy weren't mike's feelings, they were vecna's. because his plan to isolate el and keep her easy to manipulate was falling apart
i have more to say about these scenes but i am being silenced by tumblr's image post limit. stay tuned

Byler au where they weren't able to rescue Will in s1 and he grows up being corrupted by the upside-down
Finn Wolfhard as MIKE WHEELER STRANGER THINGS 4 4x01 “Chapter One: The Hellfire Club”
do u ever think about how naturally these two were able to reconnect and how damn easy it was for them to fall back into their usual, reassuring, effortless friendship?? like. as a reminder, this was the first time they'd actually spoken to one other after rink-o-mania, and yet they were still able to make each other smile and laugh and blush like their fight and their whole year of distance and miscommunication had never even happened 🥺😭🥹
will’s picture perfect guy being mike is so…. hehehehehehehehe
will dreaming as a kid about what kind of person he would spend time with at school and mike rolls up the next day. will who, everytime he envisions something, it always ends up as mike. will getting his six feet tall knight in shining armor to fulfill all his dreams and its slways mike wearing it… mike saving him as a lonely kindergartener, a scared and missing boy, the loss of his own mind and body, AND from having to help flip over that car in the mall. what sillies
