any deb mihi headcanons you’d like to share?
I don’t really have that many headcanons, I mostly have a lot of questions. I mean it, a lot of them.
Like - how come Deb knows all of Mihi’s extended family, but Mihi has never up until now met “Undiagnosed” and Dad? What's that about? Fear? - no, I doubt that considering the nose boop of "I know what you are" after one look of Deb's towards Mihi. Rita might be a self-medicating with red wine and a thousand wild projects, but she is emotionally bright enough to see right through Deb. So then what? Logistics? In opportunity? Shame...?
On the other hand, in what way does Mihi’s family know Deb? I mean Sonny clearly knew what was up, but somehow I doubt someone who runs away scared “because I didn’t know what you meant for my future” - would be open with her family to an extent they knew what Deb meant to her. Still they know her. How often did she tag along with Mihi when she went home? How often was she bent over a plate of food alongside the rest of them? Who knew why? Who suspected as much?
I want to know how Deb would react if the roles were reversed. I mean we have this woman who straight up steps in between a bank robber and their hostages. Who goes kamikaze cave spelunking because her person is trapped and alone. What would she be like if the woman she loved was put in harms way? A gun to Mihi’s head, a stray punch, a verbalised threat. Would she keep that calm and collected pragmatism or would it break? I don’t really think it’s a veneer with Deb, it’s just who she is. She is the kind of person who steps in between a stranger and danger, and she does it with calm and level-headed motivation. But if you lit a fire beneath her what would happen? If Mihi’s life was put on the line what would Deb do to that line?
And I want to know about Mihi. Why, despite seemingly having a better relationship in many ways than Deb with her family - why is there such a frosty veil between Mihi and her mother? When and how did that relationship slip and side into cordial awkwardness? Was that before or after Deb? Was that part of why she didn’t know what Deb would have meant for her future? Or did Mihi raise that wall herself when she was too scared to be vulnerable and open with who and what she was?
Then according to Mihi they were together for “six months, maybe a bit more-”, but how come they slip so easily back into caring and playing off of each other? Sharing grins, looks, food, ideas. That doesn’t feel like six months. That feels like a relationship that was left brewing for months and months before it turned physical, before it took on a name. It’s a relationship with too much definition, too much character to only have lived for six short months. That ingrained affection and deep caring, even with the “long winter” between them it rises to the top again with an effortless ease. It feels deep, rooted and like it had time to mature before it was cut off at the stem, leaving a dormant core that somehow survives sleeping for a decade and still manages to start growing again. That’s not six months.
I want to know if Mihi ever referred to herself as Deb’s girlfriend. I want to know if that filled her with pride and joy or if it just terrified the shit out of her. Probably a bit of both, if those words ever did actually leave her tongue in a setting with more of an audience then her own reflection in the mirror.
How did they find out that nosebleeds were a thing? One of the reasons it’s so easy to fall in love with Deb even as a viewer is because of her facial expressions. Imagine that, imagine the look on her face as Mihi bleeds all over her. That look of utter befuddlement, dash of fear and then morphing into a sly and rakish grin when it becomes clear Mihi is fine, Mihi is in fact very fine. I would have wanted to see that face.
And did either of them count how many tears were shed? And for how long? Deb had her box of “DON’T!”, but what did Mihi have? An advanced ability to compartmentalise? Impeccable skills of self-denial? Or were there tears? Was there pain? What did it look like? Was it fiery and red? Or was it grey and quiet? How did it feel when everything seeped back in as she put those binoculars to her eyes and spotted Deb in the middle of a bank robbery with a samurai sword in her face? What did that visual stir in her chest as her lips fell apart and a breath was stolen from her lungs?
So no, I don’t really have any headcanons. I just have a shitload of questions. And that's before we even begin with what happens after that finale.
Deb's awesome face tax if you actually read through all of that.
