mike wheeler in season 4: head full, many thoughts (not telling you though)
Ngl I do like the headcanon that Will wouldn't like Eddie, just for the angst, u know??
Like in s3, you can see Will trying to make a DnD campaign to bring the party together
Whereas Eddie's DnD campaign in s4 tears the party apart
I think it's obvious that Will cared more about having time with his friends over actually playing DnD, the game just ended up being the thing he thought could bring them together and the thought of DnD being something to hurt their friendship would definitely hurt Will.
I also think Will would be on Lucas' side with the whole "I don't want to get bullied" thing, even if he wouldn't be too keen on trying to hang out with popular kids. I think he would prefer to stay in the background, which is what he does for like the whole of s4, especially at the start in Lenora High, it's like he was invisible to everyone but El and that one girl who liked him.
Whilst on the other hand, Eddie is all about being proud to be a freak (and whilst Jonathan is similar, he does it in a much more subtle way). Moreover, Will's comments about how he feels 'different' and a 'mistake' as well as his efforts to blend in whilst in California make me believe that he would be incredibly insecure and self conscious about being around someone like Eddie; he obviously doesn't want to be a target.
And so therefore, I think that if Will ever got the chance to meet Eddie, he would either dislike him or try to avoid him when he could. However, in time I do think he would admire Eddie's willingness to be himself.
hellfire t-shirt mike, you'll always be famous (the search)
that's just bullshit media propaganda!
I’ve never known such a lovely day as this
*reblog if you agree*
byler week day two | mike or will @lgbtqcreators creator challenge | colour
Finn Wolfhard as Mike Wheeler
Stranger Things: 4.08. Papa
Will the most beloved headcanons part 3: Byler edition! (AKA Mike being a simp headcanons)
Mike doesn’t like people touching his face. Like he’ll nope away from someone just trying to poke his cheek. But with Will? Complete opposite. Will can pinch his cheeks, trace his jaw, feel his forehead for fever - anything and everything
Same goes for hair touching, too. Nobody gets to play with his hair but Will
Mike is particular about his D&D character design and he only accepts changes or suggestions from Will
Mike likes to trade Halloween candy with Will and Will only (because Dustin, Lucas, Max, and El are quite judicial about trading candy lmao)
Mike sits still for nothing except when Will is painting him
When Mike gets his driver’s license, Will is his passenger princess for life and no one else can even dare to dream of taking shotgun
Similarly, when it’s raining, only Will gets to share umbrella space with him (like, come on, Dustin and Lucas can just deal with it)
Will is Mike’s dedicated beta reader for his novels
On that note, Will is the only other soul who’s seen all of Mike’s self-proclaimed embarrassing short stories and Star Wars fanfics
Also on that note, Mike only writes poetry for Will (duh)
Mike hates carrying big heavy things but when he and Will move into their place together, you better believe he did all the heavy lifting and made sure that Will didn’t to avoid Will get hurt (even at the expense of himself, rip)
Okay so I headcanon that both Mike and Will are afraid of stray bugs in the house, but Mike will step up and kill or evacuate bugs for Will anyway
Mike thinks that sitting on someone’s lap? Someone sitting on his lap? Way too much body heat, way too close for comfort, get off me, dude. But he and Will splay over each other all the time because it’s Will, and Will is cozy :)
Similarly, doing footsies is so stupid. But with Will it’s adorable and Mike’s a giggly mess
Random but Mike only likes how Will makes eggs out of everyone in the Party (and he won’t eat it if it’s not Will’s lmao)
Now, Mike does readily lend things - paper, pencils, erasers - to other people in class, but he’s not too keen on it. But if Will needs something? He’s giving it with a bona fide smile
Mike also sometimes doesn’t like lending his time for that matter. Trying to help people with homework is exhausting, especially after being a tutor for Holly sometimes but if Will’s struggling with some homework Mike may as well have his doctorate in education
Mike thinks that it’s funny if someone has food on their face and he might not mention it but for Will he’ll go out of his way to remove it
Over the years of being together, Will has learned to beware mentioning that he likes or wants something, because Mike is buying/obtaining it plus a million different different versions and styles
Mike doesn’t like singing or playing guitar in front of anyone but he’ll make an exception…
