Little brain worm I had to get out inspired by this post.

One of my best friends (who's on here btw so thank you Alex ilysm) just made me a bandana (picture below cuz it's amazing) and it has mikes heart and crown on it and I almost started crying. And in all of this it has really made me realize just how much I needed Mike and Will to even TALK about Will having a crush on Mike. Sure I would have loved for them to get together or maybe even have an on screen kiss but more importantly I needed Mike to realize that he was in fact in love with Will and more than just as a best friend. I’m definitely bisexual!mike truther because I do believe he loved Jane, he just loved Will more deeply. I would like to preface this by saying that I myself am bisexual but I think in some ways it makes all of this more important to me. There is very little bisexual representation in media that isn't used to advance some other agenda *cough cough vicki cough cough* or isn't riddled with blatant biphobia. So in my opinion, Mike as a bisexual character (with internalized homophobia as it were) had the chance to be very well done. Maybe all of this is just me projecting since I struggled with internalized homophobia/biphobia for a very long time (and still do unfortunately) mixed with the fact that Mike has been my favorite character since the show came out, but either way that bandana truly made me realize just how much I needed Mike to at least realize his feelings for Will and not just make them smaller for the sake of being "normal".
