Stranger Things Byler - Tumblr Posts

You want more? Ok. Here you go. (Also I’m so mad this is the second time I have to write this my phone glitched and I lost everything.)

Let’s analyze the lyrics of the album Green. Starting with “Pop Song 89.”

The lyrics of the second section are: “Hello, I'm sorry, I lost myself. I think I thought you were someone else. Should we talk about the weather? Should we talk about the government?”

First sentence: “I lost myself.” “I don’t know I guess I feel like I lost you or something.” See what I’m saying? Not a lot needed to say.

Second sentence: “I think I thought you were someone else.” Will used El’s name to share his feelings. Mike thought they were El’s feelings. He thought it was El.

Third sentence: “Should we talk about the weather?” In the “super spy” and the “crazy together” scene, they are talking about the shadow monster, which is portrayed in a storm. Weather. Also the whole upside down is kind of portrayed as a storm, so the scene in Hopper’s cabin also counts.

Fourth sentence: “Should we talk about the government?” Hello? Stranger things?? Government?? The government is a huge thing in Stranger things. I can’t remember if/when Mike and Will talked about the government but still.

Also I think is a good idea to mention another line in the song that goes “You know I never knew it could be so strange, strange.” STRANGE. Stranger Things!

Next, a very short one, “Get Up.” It’s literally about trying to get someone to wake up. (Remind you of anything?) Since “wake up” has been said (or sung) to almost every Vecna’d victim, it’s safe to say either Mike or Will will get Vecna’d. Also near the end of “Get Up” there is music that sound like a music box. Robin pointed out and played Nancy’s music box. And she got half-Vecna’d.

All I’m going to say about the next song, “You Are The Everything” is listen to it and read the lyrics. Just think about Mike singing it about Will. It’s just really sweet and sad.

That’s all for now but let me know if you want me to do the rest of the album. I might do it anyway.

Also there’s 11 songs in the album.

Lil update:

I listened to the rest of the albums and I can’t figure out anything else except for that they mention a compass in “Stand” and “Turn you inside out” sounds like it’s from Vecna’s pov. Also “The Wrong Child” could be about El.

I have an official theory that the s5 time skip is going to skip forward 2 years to 1988 and I need that to happen and here’s why:

Will has an REM poster. Will canonically listens to REM. (great taste) What REM album came out in 1988? Green. Now if you don’t know about the green byler color coding I suggest looking it up somewhere else because I don’t have the energy to explain. Not to mention, Green literally has a song in it called “I Remember California.”

I don’t remember who said it but right after volume 1 came out, someone pointed out that REM can stand for Rapid Eye Movement (again look it up it’s hard to explain) which occurs multiple times throughout the series and especially in season 4.

Another interesting thing is that in Life’s Rich Pagent, one of their albums released in 1986, there is a song (a very popular cover) called Superman.

Leaving it at that

Also not to mention Mike has these realizations at the end of basically every season.

Season 1

This is the only exception because he hasn’t started realizing stuff yet

I would like to add this terrible quality picture that was the only one I could find of Mike’s little smile at Will when he leaves

Season 2

At the snow ball, he encouraged Will to dance with a girl and then makes this face of instant regret. The snowball scene is when he realizes he might actually like Will.

So he uses El as his straight relationship to try and convince himself and others that he’s straight. Even going to such lengths as convincing himself that he loves her.

But at the end of season 3

Mike has this moment of realization where he might not actually love El romantically.

Which brings us full circle, to the previous post, of him accepting his feelings for Will.

Okay but can we talk about this moment.

I strongly believe that this is when Mike finally ACCEPTED that he loved Will Byers, and he realized that he couldn’t push the feelings away.

It makes me sad how he turns to look at El as if almost wondering “how am i going to tell her?” it’s sad, but I know that El can truly find happiness without Mike, like she did in S3. She’s her own independent, strong woman.

ARTISTS AND ANIMATORS!

I had an idea but I can’t draw people for shit.

Mike and Will. Listening to Good Old Fashion Lover Boy by Queen. Mike is being dramatic and cheesy and singing along dancing around Will. While Will is just standing there blushing and grinning.

In honor of Christmas or something, a meme created from a bag I found at target:

Mike when El tries to be independent at all

the way Mike's freaking YANKING him like he's a kid and Will is flailing his arm out but his hand is still perfectly like 💅

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO
