greetings tumblr user astrobei. i present you with a question i humbly ask you answer posthaste as this is being asked by a crab shaped acquaintance of yours who wants to know.
what is one thing you want in s5 that you haven’t seen anyone else really talk about
AH ! thinking so hard. so deeply. idk about things i haven’t seen anyone talk about bc i do bounce a lot of ideas off of the people i talk to so i lose track of what’s talked about In General vs w my friends but hmm. HMMM. i know people have prob talked about this i just haven’t seen as much lately but smth that is so so personally important to me is a mike and jonathan talk bc !! jonathan was there for so many of mike’s moments regarding will and el in s2-4 and he saw the shed scene and he saw mike with will in s2 and he saw mike get distant and change in s3 and he saw mike with will alone in his room (interruption trope hello) and in the van vs how mike was when he was with el over the last two seasons and like. OH i just need them to talk so bad bc jonathan has literally seen him grow up and i think this fact should be talked about more like. jonathan has known him as long as will has known him! he knows mike! he knows this isn’t like him! so like. idk basically a very long winded way of saying that 1. jonathan byers’ un-amusement w mike wheeler stems from him knowing that this behavior is Not Like Mike and 2. not to byler-ify everything but. he knows. he totally knows. and also 3. even in a non-byler context i just need mike to not be having a great time n i think he’ll be dealing w some guilt and inadequacy etc and i think it would be so great if jonathan talked to him about it. that is all
