“You didn’t have to."

Happy Birthday Mike, I wish you happiness and freedom and so many soft mornings with Will <3

(If you like my art then I would love it if you reblogged it as well ^^)

Some of my favorite close ups, my original first sketch and also a slightly different version are all under the cut <33

the industry has a long history of letting queer characters ache but never arrive, desire but never be desired, orbit but never be centred. stranger things followed that pattern to the letter, and noah calling it out isn’t unprofessional, it’s necessary. his performance carried the emotional weight of a romance the script wouldn’t acknowledge, and the disconnect between what he was playing and what the narrative allowed became impossible to ignore. saying he was “robbed” isn’t exaggeration; it’s a precise articulation of how queer characters are so often handled: sidelined, sanitised, or treated like narrative inconveniences.

i don’t usually draw people but i couldn’t get this scene out of my head. i imagined their colours melting and spilling together like ink when they kissed 💛

mikes pocket also being blue (his heart) but it’s turning yellow 💙
