“stranger things isn’t for a queer audience” meanwhile they make sure we feel seen and represented in even the smallest, unspoken details
How Mike describes meeting El: "She just needed someone." She needed somebody. She depended on someone else, anyone else, to make her better. Now she doesn't.
How Mike describes meeting Will: "You were alone too." They both needed each other. They have a mutual struggle and make each other better by giving each other courage. They still do.
sorry but i cant ignore this
i dont understand how anyone can deny that s2 had so much aids crisis messaging in there like
a room full of doctors not being able to tell a mother what is wrong with her son? a room full of doctors prioritising themselves over the people suffering?
there's something very very special about mike being an ass to basically everyone, having some attitude with everyone but reserving his sweet, apologetic, sensitive side for will. and there's something special about will being selfless, sweet and quiet around almost everybody but reserving some attitude and sarcasm for mike. something something they complete each other and feel safe to be the parts of themselves that show their vulnerability around each other - very cheesy but hell
its true
aint no way i just learned that mike and will had matching blue and yellow socks in season 3
If you ever have doubts about the fact that Mike was jealous and remembering that El said Will had made a painting for a girl - meaning the way he acted was anxiety and jealousy - remember that the rest of the airport scene has about 3 other reminders that Mike remembers stuff from El’s letter.
That’s literally why they had him read it at the beginning of Season 4, so this plot line could be set up.
El said that she missed the spring flowers -> Mike brings spring flowers from Hawkins
El mentioned Argyle in her letter -> Mike recognises him when he meets him irl
El mentioned that she has friends in the letter -> Mike asks if her friends are going to meet them at Rink o Mania (for many reasons but i won’t get into that here)
El mentioned that Will is painting something for a girl and that’s why he’s acting weird -> Mike asks about the painting anxiously and doesn’t want to talk about it especially when Will acts casually about it.
I don’t wanna hear any talk about jealous Mike being a reach or something - it’s spelled out to us in this scene that he remembers the letter.
