Van Scene - Tumblr Posts

I like how in the van scene when Will has his veiled confession to Mike, they're driving forward. This shows how he is motivating Mike, how he wants to set Mike and El's relationship back in motion again.

But in the script, when it says Jonathan stares ahead at the "endless freeway stretching before them" after Will's confession, it just goes to show that for Will, he's not actually going anywhere. There is no destination in sight for him, despite him being a driving force for Mike in this scene. There is also literally no destination in sight, as they don't even know if Suzie got the coordinates right for Nina at this point. But yeah, for Will, his future seems bleak. The freeway looks the same no matter how long or how far they drive, it's just a long gray road in an empty, hopeless-looking desert. And that's exactly how Will feels inside. How devastating it must feel for Will to just pour his heart out to his childhood best friend knowing inside that this love is hopeless. He feels nothing will come from it. His pain will never end.

The amount of emptiness that must be in his heart... that's fucking relatable as a queer kid growing up. To have so much love to give but to be left with just a wall in front of you, a wall that really prevents you from loving, from being yourself, from feeling like you can really be a part of this world like everybody else. It sucks lol

Jonathan and Mike doing double takes for Will in s3 and s4

And yes, the season 3 scenes with Mike on the bike and Will+Jonathan in the car play back to back.

Jonathan looking at Will crying

Season 3 ending really set up season 4 huh

So you're telling me that Mike "you didn't have to say it" Wheeler was completely oblivious in the van scene? I just don't buy it lol

He IS an oblivious person, but he's not THAT stupid, right? He's still a smart kid. He had to understand at least a little hint of what will was feeling.

Mike [closet panic] vs. Mike [gay panic]

Mike when El kisses him and tells him she loves him:

VS. Mike, when Will makes him a painting and says "look, that's you":

*ahem* girl that is not very heterosexual of you--

--here's another evidenc your honor

Wait, the reason why Mike might truly believe that El commissioned Will's painting may have been explained by Joyce:

Even though it doesn't make sense that El would commission a DND painting, Mike's thought process is, "There 's only two people that know about our heart conversation, and that's me and El. So El trusted Will enough to make him paint the heart."

The painting wasn't from El, and Will's not just a friend.
