sohi

and do you really think LUCAS would let him stay repressed?? when mike has will's painting RIGHT THERE on his wall staring lucas in the eye and he's probably writing him sappy love letters in code every two seconds??

yeah lucas is having NONE of that

count your days micheal

i remind you that mike HAS NO PROBLEMS WITH IDENTIFYING THE NEEDS OF OTHER PEOPLE

if mike were just a teenager with low emotional intelligence, incapable of interpreting signals from the outside world, his “perceptiveness” would not be selective — it would not apply only to will. it would not apply to anyone at all. el is undoubtedly dear to him, yes, but do you see the confusion on his face when he receives yet another negative reaction in response to comparing el to a superhero? he does not realize the problematic nature of his words because his point of reference was always directed at will; he always relied on methods that specifically improved will’s well-being. he does not immerse himself in another person’s inner world in order to understand their specific needs, because to do that he would have to experience a deep emotional bond

1. Out of ALL the vol II scenes, they chose to release one of Mike fangirling over Wills powers knowing damn well they would barely interact after that.

2. That picture on the magazine of Will, Mike and Joyce showing e5 would start right where e4 ended. The text was about the “Byers” and Will had mutiple scenes with Joyce, yet they chose one where Mike was present.
