( super detailed questions ! ): 12, 22, 25
12. What is their favourite food?
Mike is a big fan of junk food(as most kids are) but his favorite food of all time would have to be his mother’s pasta. (Although anything his mom makes is good enough to have seconds on).
22. What are their favourite insults to use? What do they insult people for? Or do they prefer to bitch behind someone’s back?
“Mouthbreather” is number one, although he will on occasion use Star Wars insults such as “bantha breath”, “laserbrain”, etc. Although those are normally saved for people he actually likes and he’s insulting them affectionately. “Mouthbreather” is reserved for people like Troy and James.
Mike isn’t cruel; he only insults people if they’re mean to him first(with the exception of Nancy) and as he grows more daring he would insult Troy to his face for obvious reasons. Otherwise, most of his insults are jokes; he knows very much what it’s like to be on the receiving end and prefers not to have others feel the same.
25. What do they find funny? Do they have a good sense of humour? Are they funny themselves?
Mike’s a twelve year old boy so naturally he would find potty humor hilarious(as much as he tries to lie about that). He finds Lucas and Dustin’s bickering really funny(usually), and he finds little, silly things amusing. Like when El is in Ted’s recliner. Mike laughs at both her startled expression and her enjoyment of it. He does have a good sense of humor, although a lot of [good-intentioned] jabs at him actually make him angry rather than laugh. He’s sensitive and self-conscious.
Mike enjoys the sound of laughter(especially Eleven’s) so he likes to do goofy things in order to make them laugh. Dustin is definitely the clown of the group, though. No overthrowing him.
