all of us snoopy, all of us
which could mean nothing
will always love iwtv for being a show that refuses to be confined to a single aesthetic. we have period drama balls and post-wwii parisian chic and 70s drugs&depression and depressing postmodern dubai penthouse and armand's fuckass ipad and rock concerts and divorce courts legal disputes all in the same show ugh no other piece of media is doing it like iwtv
ldpdl you will always be famous

mike being in love with will is the vital last piece of the puzzle to defeating vecna
as a companion piece to this post about will's role in holding the UD together, i'm going to reiterate how we can know that mike is in love with will. read that post first because i kind of reference my points in it here throughout.
and first off, can we please remember that we have not seen the season in full yet. i've seen so many people talking like vol2 was the nail in the coffin and it simply is not. vol2 was 3,5 hours long and the finale is 2,5 hours. this is still a lot of time for them to tie up the remaining loose strings.
alright, let's get into it. i know none of you have forgotten the painting scene. and maybe i'm beating a dead horse, because everybody knows this scene in and out by now. but i'll give you my take anyway. because i think the painting scene is more relevant than ever.
have seen no one talk about the most obvious imagery of the entirety of volume 2:
will's head positioned perfectly inside the circle illustrating the bridge's exotic matter. as dustin explains:
the exotic matter is what holds the bridge (the upside down) together.
so how could will be connected to this?
we all know will was the first to be taken into the upside down. i dare say will was the first human to go in there at all. vecna said that when he took will, he realized the potential for what he could do using the minds of more children. will's mind is somehow directly linked to whatever is holding the bridge/UD together.
space . com explains exotic matter as referring to theoretical or rare forms of matter that don’t follow everyday physical rules. one type of exotic matter that could be related to wormholes is matter with negative mass. all matter we know has a positive mass and is attracted to other matter due to gravity, but matter with a negative mass would push other matter away from it.
the writers are giving us the most on the nose metaphor - exotic matter literally explains will. since season 3, they have pushed the narrative that will feels like an outsider, like he is an outlier even amongst his friends. this is reflected in how his character has been "neglected" and seemingly pushed to the side. and now it is confirmed; despite having most things in common, he is different from them in one way, and this one difference has defined the past years of his life.
slight paraphrasing here, but in the coming out scene will says vecna showed him it is going to lead to negativity that makes him push people away and drift apart from them:
this fear and this feeling is somehow intrinsically linked to the entire structure holding the bridge together. because this is the show that uses sci fi metaphors to explain the horrors of growing up, i think we can assume this connection goes farther than just this direct mirroring, but sadly i am not smart enough to think of a way this can play out in the scifi plot. but i have no doubt that it will.
but, we have now seen that (literally) all of will's friends and family accept and love him despite this difference. they're pulling him back in, proving his fears wrong.
but the one thing they leave open, unanswered, ambiguous.... is mike's part in all this. because despite will saying he "had a crush" on mike, and likening mike to "his tammy" - we already know from the previous episodes in season five that this is not the case. will is in love with mike; he is hopeful that they could be something more to the point of asking robin how you know if someone wants to date, and righttttt after his 'coming of powers' moment, he asks robin just how soon after her epiphany did she get together w vickie😭
will is not over mike! mike is not will's tammy, guys, obviously he is not. and that is the missing piece; mike revealing that will's feelings are reciprocated is essential, because it is the final step to will not feeling like an outlier amongst his loved ones. because if mike is like him and also loves him, it gives will someone he does not feel different from.
and as will said in season 4: mike makes him feel like he's not a mistake. like he is better for being different.
mike reciprocating will's feelings has always been the full circle moment we are coming back to. will and mike's arcs have been directly intertwined since always but was solidified in the "crazy together" scene, and just about everything in their arc since has drawn lines back to that moment.
so, somehow will's link to the UD is what holds it together, and mike's love for will is going to be the very solution to casting out the last "negative matter" (doubt, fear, feeling like an outsider) from will's mind, which is necessary for them to be able to take the UD apart.

People like to say the raven cycle is dark academia when Gansey is literally wearing this.
gansey + ronan + adam, kevin + andrew + neil, james + sirius + remus are all variants of eachother CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE. you’ve got the one who feels like he’s had the world handed to him on a silver platter and has crippling anxiety anyway (bonus points if he is good at The Sport or has glasses), the gay one with issues with his brother (and family in general) who would fight god out of spite and win, and his loser nerd boyfriend with a rough life (bonus points if he has face scars or abusive family)
I don't want books with one clear romantic interest, I want books with group of queers who had crushes on each other and everyone is dating someone inside the group at some point and they're madly in love with each other constantly, but it's hard to say what kind of love it is
I find that post that’s like “do the raven cycle and the dreamer trilogy have spice??” really funny because like. until you’ve read these books, you simply can’t comprehend what Spice is to us. letting someone else drive your car, teaching someone to drive a stick shift, brushing your hand against someone elses, sleeping on the floor next to them, doing a painting of someone who previously had never been recognised as worth looking at, punching someone’s dad, sitting in the passenger seat in silence, saying a silent prayer. that my friends, is spice.
