@dreamingfinch omgโฆ. jonathan helps will get something he wantsโฆโฆโฆ.. this is peak
English
thinking about how paintinggate could go down post-canon. As much as I want him to, I don't think sweet, self-sacrificial Will would reveal it wasn't commissioned if he thinks it's the last piece of El Mike has and that he was truly in love with her. HOWEVER +

the jack kerouac poster really gets me like do the duffers just not know who that is
English
remember when netflix posted robin saying "which one of us it bait" right after that finale. straw that broke everyone's back
English
like not to beat a dead horse here but if the duffers wanted mike to be unambiguously straight and not have romantic tension with will they would've just done that. instead they made him gay as hell and for what (to bait us)
English
can you imagine if max couldn't say ily to lucas but was opening up to dustin, saying hawkins isn't the same without him and she feels like she lost him, all the while staring at his lips

I'm a heart made of wax, and I'm melting in the sun

I could also see Will revealing it himself once he realizes Mike wasn't IN love with El, even more so if he knows why. Like in the My Will Is Good sequel where they talk about it once they're already together
English
byler are together by the end of the visit. he can't even regret to relegating himself to permanent third wheel for the world's most disgustingly in love couple bc his brother is just so happy
English
@7tobeexact it really is. I always just remind myself that he's still only 18, and hasn't left the conservative small town yet. there will be more chances even if we have to write them ourselves, and they have the rest of their lives to figure it out
English
@dreamingfinch Everytime I see a picture of Mike as a kid I think "they left him in the closet" and I start full on sobbing. The look in his eyes in this scene specifically, when he looks at the binder with infinite sadness, but resigns himself to remain silent, is truly heart breaking
English
all of my queerbait musings always come back to gayofthefae's comment here that I saw the day after the finale. the intentional ambiguity means it doesn't feel like "mike turned out to be straight all along," it feels like they left him in the closet to rot

I actually don't believe the duffers wanted us to think mike is straight, they wanted him to be ambiguous enough throughout the show to keep people wondering. bc that's how queerbaiting works. if he was obviously straight there'd be no discussion to be had in the first place

Amybeth had the best reaction to the script out of anyone there

ik this person is talking about tadc but lowkey highkey this applies to the ST fandom, like, extremely hard lol
the emiliest! ๐ป@emilyis_emilies
itโs weird when people demand a character face โconsequencesโ for their actions in shows bc like. theyโre not real. the purpose of making a character isnโt to treat them how youโd treat a real person, itโs to be tools for a narrative you want to tell
