Js Getting That Out There

“Mike was smiling cause he was thinking about El”

Oh I’m sure

this is the realest thing i have ever seen

my niche interest is stranger things and like i know its one of the most popular shows in the world but i watch it better than everyone else

so true

The thing is, M*leven could have been really cute. I like almost all of the straight ships in the show, and they could have written Mike and El similarly. Their romance could have progressed over multiple seasons, everyone would have liked it. Something like Jopper or Jancy.

But they didn't do that. M*leven is written entirely differently from all the other couples. They're rarely teamed up, their break-up is framed as happy, their conflicts seem trivial and easily solvable. They're not themselves around each other, they lie and miscommunicate. El's arc is centred around finding herself and being independent, and Mike needs to be loved and appreciated. They're clearly not meant for each other, and this is intentional.

Why would they be written entirely differently from every other couple if they're intended to be endgame?

can we talk about the parallels between reddie and byler 💔

he’s so me core

he won the idgaf war

what kind of comment is this… genuinely wtf😭 “they deserve what’s coming” are they like, okay??

drew digitally for the first time in a while… byler makes me crazy, apparently i forgot how to color😞

mike wheeler.

Worst pain

I hate how much everyone forgets that he’s severely traumatized too and that’s why he acts how he does cuz he doesn’t know how to cope with his trauma and being gay, he’s also been through an a insane amount of shit for all this starting when he was 10-11.

i really want this to be like an awkward scene after they had some sort of confession or maybe even after mike found out the painting wasn’t “commissioned” by el

mentally i’m still here

i need to see this scene tremendously
