thank you to my friend Will for the idea because I wanted to do something with Mike realizing crap about the painting and then boom

ok 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 I’ll stop rambling enjoy

jonathan looks like the word radiohead

Not me going viral on tiktok😭

need you all to consider karen is the result of what would happen if mike and nancy dropped their own selves and started to conform, if nancy had let the dudes in hawkins post get to her head, if mike keeps holding onto what keeps him largely accepted rather than what keeps him real, if holly, one day, grew onto a safe-in-society woman like the one that raised her. karen had a dream, karen wanted a different life, karen wants a different life. but she's been more than at least 20 years having made the safe choice, the choice where she wakes up to the same man, to the same status, to the same house that she cleans and cooks in from day to night everyday for what she thinks is the rest of her life. but she doesn't - she doesn't want that for her kids. she wants nancy to lift her head and fight back, to slam her power onto every newspaper in indiana, and she craves mike's trust like she needs air, she wants him to tell her the truth, for all you know, she wants him to take the path that she didn't take, she wants him to take a step out of conformity.

and she's failing, when she takes things away from mike for rebelling not one year after picking him up from the back of an ambulance van, when she barged into nancy's room time after time deep into her 16 years of age rather than trusting nancy the way she wants nancy to trust her. when she tells mike to confide in her word-by-word but doesn't read the signs when he actually gives them. and they're all pretty apart, specially mike. 20 years and more into the same story, a mentality molds into that headspace. and karen has her moments. but she wants out, she almost went out, but there's something in the life she chose that she actually loves to the death, and that's her kids, so she stayed.

point is, karen's relationships with her children has a good amount of issues, but she doesn't want her kids' lives to be anything like hers. now, yes, karen could have certain ideas that could make mike being queer conflicting from her perspective, maybe scare her a fair amount. but, something in my gut says karen is a lot more scared about mike taking the life society already got molded for him and leaving himself behind. that karen is a lot more scared of not letting mike be who he is.

and maybe karen doesn't think she can fight for her own life anymore, but she'll fight for theirs. she'll fight for theirs.

And when s5 happens, will is gonna get vecna’d and he’s gonna have a flashback to him meeting Mike on the swing set 😵!!

HE LOOKS SO CUTE IN HIS BOXERS HELLO

This is so cute 😭

Lord pls I NEED IT.

when byler has this conversation in season 5

Will Byers

Proof

Noah when he gets back on set :

mike gets injured in the upside down and will is trying to keep him awake so he tells him to keep his eyes open but mike is all drowsy so he goes "because you like them?" while looking up with genuine hope and it's so cute that will can not help but laugh softly through tears and go "sure, yeah. keep your eyes open because i like them"

Okay but can we talk about this moment.

I strongly believe that this is when Mike finally ACCEPTED that he loved Will Byers, and he realized that he couldn’t push the feelings away.

It makes me sad how he turns to look at El as if almost wondering “how am i going to tell her?” it’s sad, but I know that El can truly find happiness without Mike, like she did in S3. She’s her own independent, strong woman.

i love how mike isn't even surprised by will's random singing outburst. it's as if will sung enough around him to make it seem normal lol

and because of that please trust me when i say that mike and will constantly sing stupid songs they both love together so they can annoy people

this is also me manifesting mike and will singing together in s5 since they both love to sing 🤞🏻

This bodygate is wild wtf 😳

"Mike is the 'excuse me, he asked for no pickles' boyfriend" "No, Will is."

Counterproposal: They are both the 'excuse me, he asked for no pickles' boyfriend together.

Mike talking to the customer service boy: Excuse me.

Will: I asked for no pickles.

Mike: Yeah, he asked for no pickles.

Noah before Vol 2: Will’s sexuality is up to interpretation 🥰 there needs to be no label, and either way Will’s love for Mike is really beautiful

Noah, after Vol 2: Okay we can cut the bullshit, it’s now clear that Will is gay and in love with Mike

Noah, 2023: Btw I’m gay too

“mike was being homophobic during the rain fight” ok well. but have you considered

This post by mikesbasementbeets is still on my heart. I’ve been stuck on Mike trying to connect with El about being bullied—

—and he gets shut down with “No. You don’t.”

Mike didn’t defend his experiences.

El was hurting, yes, and for many good reasons (one being her failing relationship with Mike), but she did invalidate him. She was there in s1 to see some of the bullying Mike (and by extension Will, Dustin, and Lucas) went through and even took action when she recognized Troy and his friend were awful people. El humiliated Troy in the gymnasium, prevented Mike from falling off a cliff prompted by Troy, and even proceeded to break Troy’s arm afterward.

El didn’t understand what the bullying was about then, but she was well-aware that these ‘mouth-breathers’ weren’t good and opposed them. She knows what bullying is. The writers could’ve had El reference this, as Mike did with “you’ve seen it” because that was clearly meant to open a communicative door to relate. They could’ve had her say that she understands and knows Mike went through bullying that hurt him too (and put him in fatal danger) while also expressing her personal frustrations (‘From Mike’ and the way he views her included), but this didn’t happen. To push it further, she also says “I am different.” On one hand, yeah. She is different. She wasn’t the average little girl with an average living environment. She’s not at all the average teenager either. She’s trying to catch up and have normal experiences. More than understandably, it’s upsetting and frustrating for her that she isn’t.

But this invalidation—“No. You don’t.”—is feeding the part of Mike that tells him he is inferior/ lesser than. What does he say to Will in the van? That he’s worried El will realize he’s just some random nerd who got lucky that Superman got dropped on his doorstep. Mike belittled himself there. Him expressing this to Will obviously shows he feels comfortable confiding those insecurities in him. It shows the obvious contrast as to why Mike didn’t further comment about his own experiences with El too. It also shows Mike’s view on himself. El is still on a pedestal in his mind, and, to himself, he is far beneath her. He may have confided his insecurities to Will, but he is still belittling himself (and very heavily differentiating himself from El) at the same time. By doing so, by making himself insignificant in comparison to El, Mike is invalidating himself. In comparison, he thinks his own traumas are lesser than.
