Mike is SO the definition of trying to not lose the IDGAF war and just failing miserably Iâm fucking crying
Him on some âI did a 70/30 split kinda thingâ (yknow, just your casual #avatargate #manifestationgate #metagate symbolism) bullshit while pretending to ignore Will.
Meanwhile his dumb hat (on his HEAD, aka his MIND) just being fully covered in GREEN ERECT SPIKY cactuses, SPERMY imagery, and the SCORCHING HOT ORANGE background no less. With some sprinkles of angry red too (inside the sun and the sperms lmfaoo).
The levels of SYMBOLISM and METAPHOR going on. The LAYERS.
California, Orange, heat, pretending, jealousy, âWhatâs that?â, awkwardness, sexual tension, âShitty Knockoffâ, âBurritos for breakfastâ, parties, lies, âFriends? What friends?â.
Do people seriously think that this motif wonât repeat itself just like all other ST motifs?
That this HUGE Jealousy ft. Painful Awkwardnessâ˘ď¸ theme wonât pay off?
That some of Mikeâs biggest character traitsâand flawsâ(insecurity, possessiveness, ego, resentfulness, protectiveness) wonât be explored in the context of Byler, at all?
Do you think the writers would miss this perfect CHANCE at absolute angst, drama and also humour? At finally putting Mike (and Byler) through the wringer in yet another creatively unhinged way?
âIt wouldnât make sense.â Do some of yâall hear yourselves? đ
Letâs please give these scenes, lines, symbols, themes, motifs⌠a THOUGHT for more than 2 seconds, for once.
It all just blatantly screams Will living a double life and lying about it + pathetic jealous worried pissed Mike foreshadowing. Plus, some sneaky Bychance web nodes masterfully sprinkled here and there.
as always, tagging my bychance queens in case yâall want something funny to laugh about đ (but also, to think about⌠đ¤đ). @ven0moir @o11yradio @offsidetracked @eeriesilkworm
