A Very Belated Day Six Of @byler-week! Now I Am Completely Aware That What I Have Made Only SCRATCHES

A very belated Day Six of @byler-week! Now I am completely aware that what I have made only SCRATCHES THE SURFACE of what a confession regarding The Painting could look like. A comic going THAT in-depth would take me way too long! Mainly wanted to draw my vision of Will screaming that he's in love with Mike at the top of his lungs and everything suddenly clicking into place for Mike after the fact. Idk it was very cathartic for me :-) Day Seven will be coming ASAP! Thanks for sticking with me as I wrap up this challenge! <3

Day Six Prompts were: Develop, Drawer, Valuable, White/Black color scheme

JAMIE CAMPBELL BOWER TOLD ME HE WANTS BYLER TO HAPPEN, AND THAT THEY WERE CUTE, AND WHEN I TOLD HIM "I HOPE FOR IT IN NEXT SEASON" AND HE JUST SMILED, HE KNOWS SHIT

Amybeth followed Finn

it really hurts me to see so many gazans asking us for help, though that's through no fault of their own. they've been forced to use a social media site that they're probably not familiar with (because tumblr has kind of faded out of popular consciousness), to interact with us in a second language, to distinguish themselves from the scammers who are taking advantage of genocide, and to ask strangers for help. i don't think there are any cultures where it's easy to ask for help like this, but i'm intimately familiar with how humiliating it can be in arab culture. please be kind, gracious and helpful to the gazans in your inbox. this is a desperate time for them, and in addition to the physical danger inflicted by "israel", the prices of basic resources in gaza are extremely high due to scarcity, and those that manage to escape to egypt are financially exploited by landlords there and have an extremely difficult time finding work due to their unofficial status as refugees. these families will continue to need our help and i hope we can all continue to provide it to the best of our ability.

Might be changing my layout in a day when I finally organize this blog. Don’t forget me ✌️

I see this scene as being Mike opening up to Nancy about his perceived helplessness and inability to protect his loved ones. It is about Holly (and Karen) but it's not about the grief of losing Holly specifically.

Mike is going to be put through the wringer this season trying to step up as a leader and protector, but as one without powers who can't just blast away his enemies like El. He is vulnerable and human. Other than for romantic storyline purposes, this is why they're keeping the two separated so much. For Mike's own development he has to stand on his feet without her and her power.

Mike's insistence on El being a 'superhero', and that being a good thing for her can turn on its head in a scenario where Mike is put in her shoes. Mike now being the hero relied on by his younger sister, mom, and likely Will. Being a superhero means you are the leader, it means you are strong, it means you can't fail. And you can't be vulnerable. El knows this well - she failed to save Max from Vecna in what is notably the team's (and her) first big loss. Mike will fail to protect Holly and Karen from the invasion in their home. Will he fail to protect Will next?
