Every known legal act included. Show us what’s changing or being layered on. One more law on top of 19 previous ones just sounds like y’all need to enforce the existing laws or strike them all down.

Common sense policies

Originally, there was a subplot which involved Mike surviving a skydiving accident in between s3 and s4. The result of which was a traumatic brain injury that causes episodes of amnesia, illogical antagonization, and aggression. The characters don’t bring it up because when they do he has a dissociative episode where he becomes convinced he’s Einstein the dog from Back to the Future. This storyline was cut due to concerns about scientific impossibility. But alas, most of the season had already been filmed, so Mike was just acting like a lunatic to El and Will without explanation.

Once, the party was sharing donuts, and Will ate the last one. Since then Mike has sworn his revenge on Will. He uses complex psychological torture in which he ignores and insults Will and then blames him for both Mike and El’s behavior. But after, he is just kind enough to keep Will in his life. His bitterness over the stolen donut has overwhelmed all other feelings, including his love for El. Hence, his struggles in admitting those feelings for her.

Mike was replaced by an evil clone created by Vecna for the soul purpose of undermining El and Will’s self esteem.

The writers genuinely believed they could explain away Mike’s unprovoked cruelty towards Will by Mike basically saying: “I was a jerk, but I have a girlfriend and you moved.” They could have put more thought into it, but the Duffers really wanted to get home to watch the Bachelor. They also thought they could throw this adorable gay grenade into the unstable minefield of Mike and El’s relationship without it all blowing up. After all, when has a fandom ever become deeply and passionately invested in the outcome of a queer relationship?

Or, Mike has feelings for Will and he’s not handling it well.

My morning routine: A Cleo joint

Wake up

Get a goooood stremtch

Ahh it's good to be the Queen

*sashays upstairs to the poet's room*

Strange force field detected, with shiny round metal thingy on it, just outta reach

*battering ram.exe activated*

Thud

Force field deactivated, aw yiss

Hooman still asleep on his bed

Why he got so many books but no bookshelves?

Weird orange rectangle on wall with squiggly lines on the wall

Hop on his big-ass dining table desk

twin book towers to the left

Knowledge is power and a tower

must mark it mine like we Above do

CRASH

Hooman still asleep, ignorant buffoon

But ignorance really got him knocked out on bliss

I see my reflection on his head

Freshly washed and polished

Mr. Clean weak af rn.

*battering ram.exe reactivated*

Thud

Hooman screams like Creed

Fell off bed, now lying facedown on floor

Appears to be questioning his life choices

I know I was his best choice, hmm *checks paw nails, licks paw smugly*

Hooman appears to be getting up

Grumpy noises coming from him, both ends

What a silly lil giant

Activate can opener mode

Today's breakfast: A fancy lil salmon pate with gravy jam, churu swirl, and a dusting of crumbly crunchies

NOM NOM NOM

Every morning he gets up

can opener mode always activating

Long-lasting battery indeed

But lately

Hooman seems sad some days

Sometimes batteries become worn and leaky, with Time's indifferent passage

Yet can opener mode never deactivates permanently, seems his loyalty runs deep

More headbunts to his legs, 100% recharge every time

Hooman giving me head scritchies, aw yiss

He's so lucky the queen has a generous heart towards her servants

Morning routine

Wake up and get out of bed

And walk paw with paw with Time

Cruising altitude, minimal turbulence

Is as simple as it gets
