are ‘friends’ electric, michael?

mike when he hears that will hasn’t had his first kiss yet and is nervous abt what it’s like

okay it’s been long enough can i openly express how this kiss looked physically painful for him.

this is the most paladin mike he's ever looked

btw mike wheeler wasn't a monster or a coward or abusive, mike wheeler was 𝙨𝙞𝙭𝙩𝙚𝙚𝙣

this is so precious because will probably hasn’t seen mike nerd out about dnd since at least before season 3 (4 or 5 years) and imagine how ecstatic he must have been on the inside. like that’s his mike, his mike is finally coming back

forever obsessed with the idea of mike kissing will for the first time and all the lights in the room start flickering and mike panics because holy shit is vecna back and then will clears his throat and 'um that might have been me... '

It will always piss me off that they nerfed the Mind Flayer by diminishing its truly awesome size.

notice how will's final destination is full of colour and new people hence new opportunities, and he has this extremely bright glow of yellow right in his hands because that's where the power is and he chooses to focus on himself, and while mike (blue) is still there, it's only behind him, only touching him where he can't see or won't look, but it's still there amidst the chaos

btw the average drive time from california to indiana is like 33 hours, there is no way this was the ONLY meaningful conversation they had on that journey
