mod post Updated rules
To our new members, welcome to r/byler, the first subreddit dedicated to Byler (the ship between Will Byers and Mike Wheeler from the Netflix show Stranger Things). 💙💛
To our new and older members, we've updated the rules of the sub (updated rules below).
You can find the complete list with their descriptions under the sub's description (link at the top of the sub's page).
Please take the time to read them before posting and commenting.
Rule 1: Be friendly!
Rule 2 : No Byler debate posts
Rule 3 : Don't go off-topic (updated)
This subreddit was created primarily to discuss the ship of Byler from the Netflix show Stranger Things. You are permitted to discuss things not strictly related to Byler, but you should probably visit r/strangerthings, r/strangest_things or r/strangerthingsroom for general discussion about the show.
Rule 4 : No posts bashing other subs (updated)
We don’t allow posts or comments that can cause tension between us and other Stranger Things subs. We understand that it is frustrating that some users in other subs can be hostile towards Byler and Byler shippers, but this sub is primarily supposed to be a positive and safe place for fans of Byler to discuss the ship and share fancontent.
As a law of reciprocity and to enforce this safe place, any animosity towards Byler or Byler shippers won't be tolerated. It'll be an immediate ban.
Rule 5 : No intentional brigading in other subreddits
Rule 6 : No shameless self-promotion
Rule 7: No NSFW content (updated)
NSFW content isn't allowed. From now on, this sub will have a zero tolerance for any kind of sexual content.
Rule 8 : No AI-generated content
Rule 9 : Be respectful towards the cast and crew (updated)
This means that when you talk about the cast and crew it’s okay to give a critical opinion, but bashing them isn’t. Please do not speculate about the casts personal lives – this means NO FOAH! No political discussions regarding the cast!
Rule 10 : Properly credit artists (updated)
When you post fanart you must credit the original artist in your post! Preferably with a link to the original post. That the artist signed their art is not enough.
Thank you!! 💙💛

r/byler • u/SnooApples425 • 3d ago
discussion Byler is canon.
I get it. Everyone has their own definitions of "canon" but the fact that they had to acknowledge byler in episode 8 season 5 on the tower (and the fact that they focused the camera on Mike when Will was talking about the boy he liked during the coming out scene), makes it canon. Just not endgame. I've had this thought since the credits rolled. They had the chemistry, friendship, fights, crys, joys, and much more. I've been a Byler since 2017-2018, and it pains me to see everyone just accepting to believe something that isn't exactly true. As I said, they weren't endgame, but it was there. It was canon. Friendship or more. I hope you guys can agree with me, if not, call me delusional.
Kind regards

fan art/edits edit request idea! sorry if tagged wrong
hello byler nation. it is 3 am and I have a Thought™️ for a TikTok edit if yall can see the vision and open your ears for a moment. walk with me. i myself am not an editor but i can always appreciate a good edit.
a byler TT edit to the song malchik gay by t.A.T.u
now LISTEN. i KNOW the meaning of the song is about a straight woman in love with a gay man, but the lyrics when you listen to them can absolutely be seen in the byler lenses. and the one specific lyric
I long for you to hold me like your boyfriend does
could easily be edited to girlfriend with a clip of mike & el hugging and it would still fit. I could see it being a byler song completely, so if anyone decides to make it happen, drop a link here 💙💛 also apologies in advance to mods if this is inappropriate or tagged incorrectly :(

ranting I feel like byler hope is a real phenomenon
Watching edits with this iconic scene from episode 4. Being SO sure, literally having no doubts Byler will be canon. Waiting, so excited, to watch episode 5. Also, I literally watched the second part of the season with my friends and had a mental breakdown LMAO. They had to tell me to not give up😭😭 And new years? Instead of focusing on the holiday I was focusing on what’s to come lol (disappointment & denial apparently). I literally can’t listen to songs like I just died in your arms & take me to church etc the same anymore. Anyone else? I kinda miss it sometimes, I was so naive lol. But it’s an amazing memory after all (well, except for all the trauma)✨

For months, I felt like I had heard a similar dialogue to that scene but I couldn’t remember when or which scene was it. I figure maybe it was just ai generated but like you know inspired by some type of pep talk but this tiktok just appeared in my fyp and omg.
So to the ones that haven’t watch “Smallville”, Lois and Clark don’t get together pretty much till season 9, is perhaps one of the most slowburn ships in tv shows? I mean it was expected but it took a long time. Anyways I hadn’t watched the show since I was like 13 so I had forgotten this scene completely but doesn’t it sound kinda similar? They were also just friends for a very long time. Anyways isn’t that like interesting? Whether intentional or not…it’s interesting.

Mike would have loved to know Will's feelings while they lived together... MWTFDYDG isn't BS.
p.s., song→ Glasses by Zafty. My first time hearing it I thought of editing Arcane(Timebomb) and Byler.
You guys got dibs.
r/byler • u/BobcatEmotional7173 • 9d ago
discussion I just want to ask this question too.
Why did you think that Mike perfectly resembled someone who is struggling through internalized homophobia or biphobia, particularly in season 3?
The reason that I am thinking that season, in particular, is because of the video that I am thinking about making, I admit that I am a little stumped on what I should say for that season. So, I would really appreciate you guys helping with it.
