There’s something Mike’s been hiding for a long time and now that the world isn’t ending, he’s going to have to face up to it. Or Mike’s non-binary and it’s the 80s. Nancy is a brilliant big sister.

Trans!Mike & going to prom pt. 1

Woo woooaaaaahh I finally started it. Now everyone cross your fingers that I'll also finish it because so far I have a longer script than how many pages I was initially intending to draw

Btw, "you look like a sack of potatoes" is a direct quote from my grandma from when I used to wear crazy oversized stuff to hide lol

Also, why does Michaela have so many weird spellings??? Like I didn't want to spell Mike's deadname that way because it felt too on the nose, so I check babynamesdotcom and find Mikayla Mikela Mikaela Makayla etc. etc. and I genuinely couldn't decide which was the impostor. If Mikaela is also too quirky then oh well. Blame Karen

Back to the Futur AU, in which Mike travels back in time using a bicycle as a time machine and tries to stop his younger self from hurting Will's feelings with his incredible cluelessness. But he's always too late...

This comic was inspired by this post by @sunflowersand-bees, I definitely recommend checking out their OG post:

Mike’s monologue is one by Viola in Twelfth Night, I cut out a few parts in the comic so I definitely recommend checking out their whole thing.

genuine question, what is everyone's obsession with making Mike Wheeler the "pathetic" one and Will Byers being someone he "can't live without?" like... i get that he's pretty awkward and emotional, but somewhere along the way fandom seems to have decided that Mike's entire personality is just "Will 🥺" and nothing else.

this is the same kid who spent a year refusing to give up on finding Will, jumped off a cliff for Dustin, stood up to bullies twice his size, argued with adults when he thought they were wrong, and routinely throws himself into situations with approximately three brain cells and a dream. he's stubborn. he's reckless. he's loyal to a fault. sometimes he's insecure, sometimes he's confident, sometimes he's a complete idiot. he's a person.

and on the flip side, why is Will constantly written as this impossibly confident, emotionally mature person who has Mike wrapped around his finger? have we met Will Byers? the boy is anxious. he overthinks everything. he bottles things up until he practically explodes. half of his character is wanting connection and being terrified of losing it.

like, if you ship them, surely the appeal is that they're both disasters?

Mike isn't some helpless Victorian widow who'll collapse onto a fainting couch if Will leaves the room, and Will isn't an all-knowing emotional support wizard whose entire purpose is managing Mike's feelings. the interesting thing about them is that they're both messy, stubborn kids who care way too much and communicate way too little.

i don't know. it just feels like a lot of fanon turns Mike into a wet paper towel and Will into a relationship guru, and that's way less interesting than the actual characters. 😭

i love love love all of @cyclogenesis’s works, but Art School Confidential has a special place in my heart because it opened my eyes to gnc/fem mike & for that, i am eternally grateful 😌🛐💗🙏🎀

its not until you're filling the 18 month time gap with a fic that its apparent how looong that isss like i think about this a lot but trying to fill that time out with something to progress the story when canon didn't progress anything at all is mad. 18 months is so long. christmasses, birthdays, summers, what were they all doing??

and we have to assume no one had any conversations with each other at all for 18 months. don't get me started on what the heck vecna was doing. apparently trying to figure out where the hell max the coma patient could possibly be hiding...
