omg i just realized i can post this here too!
here’s your food tumblr. eat up
(inspired by a fic i’m writing. actually… this inspired the fic lol)
What's the scene in which it's blatantly obvious Mike was checking Will out?
all of them hope this helps. the main one people reference is the s4 bedroom scene though, when mike's trying to apologize & will's packing clothes.
adult will does one of those "donate to 'adopt' and take care of an endangered animal!" things and he ofc donates to help tigers out and always looks forward to the update emails about how they're doing and checks out the tracker and even had its picture printed out and framed bc that's his Child. its portrait is nestled between the rest of his n mike's family pictures btw. in case you were not yet aware of this fun fact
gay mike this, bi mike that
let’s look at the real issue in the byler fandom and that’s ppl who think mike would be scared of spiders
“Two lovers entwined pass me by and heaven knows I’m miserable now” Will Byers btw
His new description is actually a serve like it kinda gagged me ngl.
"Award-winning Actor" hell yeah dude!! "Entrepreneur" I know that's right!! "Student" as you should!!
Dark blue shirt, short fluffy hair ITS EMOMIKE ALL OVER AGAIN😭😭😭
Re: Last Lonnie post but a reminder that most of the town likes Lonnie than they like Will. Yeah they have search parties because they aren’t heartless and he’s just a kid but what happens when he doesn’t die innocent and instead grows into his sexuality. That one guy who talked to Hopper knew what Lonnie’s kid looked like so he probably knew what Lonnie said about him. Billy was in town for a day and he knew that Will was the freak. Troy and his dad are not meant to be outliers, they’re just the ones who are the most vocal.
dad!mike headcanons —
being as tall as he is means that his kids always, always, alwayssss wanted him to carry them and sit them on his shoulders. made them feel real tall. he very quickly mastered the art of doing things one-handed, too.
mike used to wear his hair down a majority of the time and thought it was cute when his kid played with his hair until they gripped onto a clump of it once and YANKED that shit out with no goddamn warning using all of their herculean little kid strength. he started wearing it in a ponytail or bun after that. 😭
will of course kept that clump of hair and put it in one of their photo albums next to the clump from their kid's first haircut. massaged mike's scalp and gave him plenty of kisses to make up for it later, too.
mike has a day job and a part time job as a tax collector, which is to say you already know he's reaching that hand back while driving to collect his rightful dad tax aka a handful of whatever treat his munchkins are eating in the backseat. when they get older, they wise up and start whining about how it's unfair, given that his hands are so big, so maybe they should be using will's hand instead. will sides with his husband, unfortunately for them.
he loves when he and his kid are twinning it up, wearing matching fits. he also passes on some t-shirts he doesn't like so much on to them so they can wear them as pjs. just makes him happy. :)
speaking of clothes, mike isn't so particular about his own style, but he's definitely more hands-on with his kids. they may fuck his hair all the way up the way that they play with it, but he'll be damned if he lets them walk out the door looking like little hooligans. they can come home from school looking crazy, but they're at least going to start the day with their hair combed and done in whatever style they prefer.
when mike reads to them at night, he makes sure to do all sorts of different voices for the characters and really gives it his all, putting on a five-star show.
mike wheeler realising that he's cared for and missed when he's gone and that his existence is a net positive by the way. if you even care
