this isn’t even anything I’m just practicing a new pen. But also remembering the whole “will says something platonic but Mike takes it as romantic” vibe of season 4 and adding a lil “will saying/doing romantic things platonically without realizing just how blurry that line is and Mike handling it as well as a dog with shoes on.”
i’ve been clearing out old screenshots in my camera roll but i have ted lasso brain rot so you all have to see what they made me think of (part two, part one here)
elmike going on a road trip and mike would be like “should we listen to music? ok here are songs that remind me of will” so el just sits there listening to the weirdest love songs imaginable
SO fucking funny like let me sing a love song to you. oh yeah no it’s not about you
Will: is within 300ft, but isn’t paying attention to Mike
Mike:
maybe all of this is happening for a reason
you really think so?
yeah.💕🥺 yeah💕🥺💕💕 i really 🥺💕do🥺💕💕
i am. so sorry if i have ever used the phrase “i have an au where—” and led you to believe that there is an actual fic out there for you to read rather than, at best, a post where i explain the concept, and at worst it is simply something that lives in my brain
if it helps i also wish there was a fic
season 3 is painful because mike was literally right. el engages in fight after fight after fight that nobody else can help with because they didn't even try to find another way like mike suggested and then el gets injured and then she collapses and then she loses her powers and then she almost dies and then billy actually dies saving her life and then max dies a few months later and then hawkins gets ripped into quarters and then the literal apocalypse happens and it's like wow i wonder who could've predicted this!
mike knows what he's talking about because he was the one treating el like a weapon in the first season because he was so caught up in saving will but then he saw how that ended with el sacrificing herself for them and he wanted to do things differently instead of repeating that pattern because he's more able to remember that el is a person now but he wasn't allowed to affect things because the others were like if you were a REAL feminist you'd support women SACRIFICING THEMSELVES IN BATTLE
Mike: What if El didn’t overexert herself to the point of brain damage?
Everyone: I can’t believe you don’t trust her!!
Mike, who literally watched El explode into the upside down in front of him because she refused to acknowledge her power limit and has heavy self-sacrificial tendencies: Yeah, okay.
I’m really bad at conversations sorry if I’ve ever talked to you
imagine Max waking up while only Hopper is in her hospital room and spending a whole afternoon wholeheartedly under the impression that they're both dead until other people walk in because he doesn't think to explain himself
Just let the kids play D&D pLEASE!!!
I never post my edits on here but it’s Smalltown Boy Mike so I feel like you guys would enjoy it
this line is such a simple little line and can be easily passed up and ignored but it singlehandedly causes a breakdown every time i think abt it
#he says it in the most desperate and timid and fractured tone too#like that part of mike that he’s been suppressing for months resurfaces here#like he’s trying to remind will that ‘yeah we’re fighting rn but you can’t go out in the rain remember? you’ll get sick’#but it’s so heartbreaking when will ignores him bc he’s like ‘why do you even care?’#i’m fine#byler#mike wheeler#will byers
