Me when I'm so scared of women I turn the main villain of my show into a coochie monster

[phoebebyers]

mike wheeler is growing his hair back out in college and he has a gayass friendgroup he found in his fuckass woke creative writing classes and is probably bestfriends with like a goth dyke who reminds him of max but is somehow even more intense and he goes to parties and kisses boys and feels guilty about it and one time he accidentally called this guy will and he goes back to his dorm room that night and throws up about it. and he smokes a cigarette for the first time and coughs up a lung he's kind of like the loser of his friends but they all love him but they bully him his music taste and they all probably like write bad poetry and go to open mics and weird local band gigs and mike opens up about will after Realizing and everyone kind of clocks him over the head for being that clueless and breaking this poor boys heart but then they hype him up to reach back out and he does. and he does

[parkitaco]

my take on conformitygate is when someone is telling you who they are. listen

[bylerist]

what happens when you put mike’s shed monologue over will’s film reel btw

[frogfacee]

stranger things ending was fake bc the military shot them all thru the head b4 they could even try leaving the mac-z, like r u fucking kidding me

[eightfifteen]

The thought of Will with a boyfriend that is not Mike Wheeler pisses me off so bad. What would they even do? What would they even talk about? Like that’s disgusting. Maybe I’m homophobic.

Will occasionally gets postcards in the mail.

No name. No address. No matter where he is.

Always of art.

Postcards of paintings from all around the world.

He likes researching them and learning about the artist, what the paintings mean, where the paintings hang now.

He knows she wouldn’t be there if he went, but he still looks into the cities that the galleries are in. Reading about the history and imagining her telling him about it. Imagining her exploring. Learning. Existing freely.

He doesn’t tell anyone because he knows she trusts him not to. Trusts him to not try and find her.

He likes to think she still checks in with him as occasionally the meaning or subject of a painting will hit too close to home with him and whatever the current thing that was bothering him.

He wishes he could write back. Wishes he knew how to check on her as she checks on him.

But since everything ended, his powers lay dormant. Only evidence they still exist are the small ‘electrical faults’ that are perfectly timed with big emotions and always end in a nose bleed.

okayy. mike wheeler who is so repressed and so far in the closet that he can't even tell her girlfriend he loves her when she's about to die. just kisses her and agrees with everything she says because he thinks it's what she wants and he's not about to deny her this before it's all over for her forever. mike wheeler who just keeps pushing it down and pushing it down until he's become a shell of who he used to be because he sees the alternative - will - and convinces himself he'll never be that brave. mike wheeler who can't believe he ever thought he could be the mike the brave. stupid. mike wheeler who thinks of will just coming out and saying it and entertaining, for a brief moment, that maybe things won't be so bad for him. and then, like it always does, it gets stuck in his throat - friends? no thanks. best friends. mike wheeler who is so traumatized by the death of his girlfriend that he believes admitting he's in love with someone else - a boy - feels like betraying her. mike wheeler who still believes he owes her undying loyalty even in death. mike wheeler who still can't get the words out even though it's 10 pm on a wednesday in late august and will byers is standing in front of him and leaving for college in the morning and he should just be able to spit it out but he can't. mike wheeler who convinces himself will will be better off without him around - stupid, stupid, stupid - and he'll find a boyfriend who loves him in a way that mike never could with the way everything is looming over his head. mike wheeler who regrets not breaking up with el when he had the chance, regrets letting things go as far as they did. he just wanted to be normal. look where that got him. mike wheeler who can't look at will byers without feeling an indescribable guilt because something's still fucking in there. beating and screaming and desperate to be let out. but he looks at will and thinks of el and he knows nothing would work out anyway.
