Mike Wheeler With A Ponytail . You Agree . Reblog .

argyle is the person you want on your team in an apocalypse

LOOK AT THIS LOOK AT THIS:

WOODWORKING skills

COOKING skills

TRACKING skills

FORAGING SKILLS??!

GUYS????? argyle needs to and will hopefully become an integral, ESSENTIAL member of the big kids gang. he knows so much and this is only addressing his survival skills

in THIS HOUSE, we love argyle!!!

Mike calling the Byers house, and no one picking up cuz of Joyce's job, ate our boy up inside and out.

This the same kid that biked to Will's cuz he wasn't in class and biked to the woods cuz Will was missing. Every time he couldn't reach Will he physically went to him.

Now he's calling daily with no chance of getting through EXCEPT this time he can't just bike to Will. California and Indiana are far, in 2 different timezones even, and what used to be an easy fix isn't anymore. He has to wait to catch a flight and is probably wondering why Will never calls him. The Wheeler's number hasn't changed!

And then Will claims he's not interested in hearing what he has to say. Cue Mike's internal screaming cuz Will chose to be petty and make him the bad guy. But Mike let's it go cuz Will still wants to be best friends so he sucks it up and tells Will Hawkins isn't the same without him. Ugh these idiots.

neil, andrew, matt, and kevin + pro league shenanigans

matt’s the first one to go pro (because he graduates first) and he is both extremely excited and extremely nervous

because by that point, the foxes are a UNIT and they already lost the girls and now matt is going and they know they’ll keep in touch but it’s still so scary

halfway through his first season, wymack and andrew drive the remaining foxes (neil, aaron, kevin, nicky) to surprise matt at one of his games

he finds them literally the moment he steps onto the court

out of a crowd of thousands

it probably helps that nicky and neil and aaron were screaming and waving and jumping up and down

and kevin was also featured on the big screen

matt stops the opposing team from scoring in the last second, securing victory, and in the middle of all the applause he points his racket at them

andrew and kevin are the next to sign on to a team, but they’re states apart from each other

they still find time to occasionally meet up and constantly talk on the phone

but on the court it’s all hostility

more like kevin’s hostile and andrew calmly flips him off or just puts his gloved hands over his helmet like he’s covering his ears

neil doesn’t miss a single one of their games, and abby sends the foxes photos of him watching one of kevin’s games vs one of andrew’s

kevin’s game: *pure concentration, mentally taking notes, very serious*

andrew’s game: *HEART EYES*

a video goes viral of kevin doing post game press and matt popping his head in the doorway to interrupt

“hey, kevin!!” “yes?” “just wanted to say i love you :)” 

*deep, deep sigh* “i love you, too”

that’s when the internet gets to see kevin’s Press Smile turn into his Real Smile

another video also goes viral of andrew and matt sitting on a panel together and andrew, blank faced, leans over to whisper something in matt’s ear

he almost falls over because he’s laughing so hard

the moderator is like “what did he say??” and matt’s still incoherent while andrew replies “i didn’t say anything”

neil is the #1 draft pick his senior year, and he signs to his first choice team

he’s a few hours away from andrew, so they see each other on the weekends and they’re out at that point and don’t care if people spot them together

not that they really cared beforehand, but now they have publicists and managers to answer to

there is one memorable interview where neil is asked “so, what’s the best thing about andrew?” and it’s clear they want some ~relationship gossip~

neil, who knows exactly what he’s doing: “where do i begin? he’s the best goalkeeper in the world. why? allow me to go through all of his player stats from the past 3 years-”

neil’s team is playing kevin’s and there is so much hype because they’re the top strikers in the US and they’re about to throw down

basically all the sport channels suddenly have to invest in a french translator because…they’re Shouting Very Furiously at each other

(in a cozy living room in LA, jean is cackling at the insults while jeremy demands he tell him now!! i don’t want to wait for the translations!!! kevin’s face is literally turning red!!!! TELL ME!!!!!)

afterward neil and kevin stalk over to each other and everyone collectively holds their breath for a fight but no, it’s just a “reluctant” hug

when neil and andrew face off, andrew does not allow him a single point. not one. 

some reporter: “considering he hasn’t managed to score all night, josten seems awfully happy” 

matt makes everyone play rock paper scissors with him during down times on the court (teams filing on, before leaving for halftime, etc)

one could say andrew doesn’t seem into it, but he takes off his gloves so he can move his fingers properly and it makes matt very happy

matt and neil get into full on WARS that stop the moment actual playing begins and resumes immediately when it ends

reporters like to ask them about what the victory tally is so far and they give very serious updates

kevin, who is the most competitive man alive, is torn between telling matt off for not focusing 100% and Needing To Win

he does both, but mostly the last one

their teams play each other at the championships, and at the end they’re like ok kevin won exy BUT who will win rock paper scissors????

matt uses scissors when kevin throws paper and kevin, from the other end of the court, screams “NO” and then keels over

the clip of matt kneeling by him, cry-laughing and trying to pet his hair while kevin bats him away, gets a 2 minute “here’s some positivity” segment on the evening news

at the end of the day, the boys have nothing but good things to say about each other, and they will absolutely destroy reporters to defend their friends’ honor 

Same energy as “how could I have ever been ashamed of loving Dante Quintana”

“how could he possibly recover from falling for julian diaz”

siri, play i’m not okay by mcr

I know we love the edgy emo aesthetic for Mike... BUT has anyone considered dark academia Mike???

Like, someone look me in the eyes and tell me Mike Wheeler wouldn't slap in these outfits:

Let's just get one thing straight:

THIS Mike Wheeler wouldn't care that Will was gay

THIS Mike Wheeler thought he was supposed to think Will being gay was weird but he wouldn't actually mind

THIS Mike Wheeler would be happy that Will trusted him enough to come out to him as gay

Mike Wheeler loves and supports Will no matter what. Even when he's having his own identity crisis.

Season 5 Byler scene where Mike or Will has to find the other in the upside down and they’re running around screaming for the one they’re looking for and it’s set to Somebody to Love by Queen and at the end of the song they find each other and kiss

me trying to figure out how between the ages of 18-26 buck went to college for some period of time, spent 6 months as a bartender in South America, did some amount of navy seal training, worked in construction, was a cowboy (?????), moved across the country from Pennsylvania to California, and completed EMT/firefighter training

Before Finn's panel, I wanna remind people not to bombard that poor dude with questions about Mileven and Byler or questions you know he can't answer. Don't ask who will be endgame. Don't ask if he ships Mileven or Byler. Don't ask him if Mike and El breakup. Don't ask him to shut down Byler and their shippers. Don't ask dumb questions like that. He can't answer them truthfully or even give an answer at all. So please don't put him through the pain and anxiety of having to try and beat around the bush. He's already talked about how bad his anxiety gets with interviews and panels and stuff. Don't make it more difficult for him. Please. Just be a decent person.

Ask him about more than just his character's love interests please. That is all the interviewers ask him about during press for the show and it seems to annoy him. Please don't do that at his panels as well. And ask him questions he can actually answer. Like ask him about the movie he is directing. Ask him about the new Pinocchio movie he was a voice actor for. Ask him about his music. Ask him silly little questions like "if you could pick one actor/actress to work with, who would it be." Idc what you people ask him just as long as you don't harass him about ships. There is more going on with him than just playing Noah and Millie's love interests on the show. PLEASE. I AM LITERALLY ON MY HANDS AND KNEES BEGGING YOU PEOPLE.

byler??? is so??? theyre so??? theyre like??? you know??? they just??? something about them is so??? yeah you get it
