ok so the original post got WAY more attention than i thought it would (here's a quick little screenshot of said post in case some of y'all don't know what i'm talking about)

SO, here's the deal. i'll write the st4 rewrite if and only if one or two of the following happens:

mike monologuing to eleven about how much he loves her and literally everything that was pointing to byler in vol 1 is completely thrown out of the window.

someone dies. in the main gang at least. this could be eddie, robin (i will actually cry if she dies they can't fucking do that), max, etc. you know what i mean.

will doesn't get his coming out scene. or his sexuality isn't talked about with anyone and it's kicked under the rug with the whole “up for interpretation” crap again.

what i'll include in the rewrite if any of those happen:

mike's struggles with his repressed emotions and sexuality. a deeper insight into his thoughts a little further down the line. byler endgame and a mutual milkvan breakup.

nobody dies. that's it. nobody dies in the main gang they're all safe.

will gets his coming out scene. with jonathan specifically because i'm a sucker for that. and then he gets one with mike towards the end too, which follows in mike admitting the truth about his own sexuality.

robin and nancy also get together. so do steve and eddie. and also jonathan and argyle cuz, yeah. lumax remains how it is because they're literally the only stable canon relationship atm. and eleven finally gets to stand on her own two feet. oh and jopper is alright too. I'm not saying i'm terrified something will happen to them in vol 2 but. i am.
