The only people who ever actually understood Mike even a little bit were Lucas and El. No, I will not elaborate further.

The Duffer brothers were too lazy to develop Will as a character so season 3&4 they just gave him and Mike the same issues Lucas and Mike had season 1 and I’m not even joking.
S1: Lucas is jealous of El taking Mikes attention
S3: Will is jealous of El taking Mikes attention
S1: Dustin say Lucas and Mike are best friends
S2-S5: The show beats it over our heads that Will and Mike are best friends
S1: Lucas doesn’t want El to be part of the group and is extremely cautious around her; saying things like “I wouldn’t want her in my house” but then comes around to her and ends up caring about her deeply to the point that he stands in front of government officials telling them to “eat shit” when they try to take her.
S3-S5: Will doesn’t like that El is part of the group and that Mike is focused on her, calling her a “stupid girl” when Mike is worried about how to win her back after she dumps him, but then comes around to her in Lenora, calling her his sister and going on an entire mission to help find her after she goes off with Dr. Owens.
I started off as a platonic!Wheelclair and STRICT mileven shipper and then one day had a conversation with my bsf abt how fine Finn and Caleb are, went to bed, and woke up obsessed with wheelclair.

I’m so obsessed with them you don’t get it
Wait I wanna hear more about this wheelclair conversion bc I never considered them!
Here's the thing, I'm a Mike Wheeler fan first. everything else comes second. I relate to Mike so much it's kind of embarrassing, so when I look at ships including Mike, I focus a lot on the dynamics that are already present within the show. I'm also someone who generally doesn't get into shipping in the first place. Like I think mileven is my first ever ship and I only really locked in pre-s5 release.
ANYWAYS, back to Wheelclair, I explained it a lot more in this post, but I genuinely do this Lucas is one of the few characters that actually understands Mike and vice versa. I think Mike is similar to Max in a lot of ways, and we all know that Lumax is peak, so dynamically they would work. They pretty much have the same sense of humor and comparatively to another ship involving Mike that I won't mention by name, they don't put these insane expectations on each other.
idk, i feel like there's a lot I have to say about wheelclair but rn my mind is blanking so these are just the main points off the top of my head.
Bi!Mike Wheeler who’s too flustered watching Lucas play basketball to focus on anything the others are saying
Bi!Mike Wheeler who’s eyes always drift towards Lucas’ table during lunch
Bi!Mike Wheeler who finds himself subconsciously moving his chair closer to Lucas during Hellfire
Bi!Mike Wheeler who short circuits when Lucas let’s him borrow his team jacket (because it’s raining and Mike has to pick Holly up and the rain will stop before Lucas is done with practice anyways)
Bi!Mike Wheeler who tosses the jacket on the chair by his bed and can’t help but trace the sleeve with his finger while he tries to fall asleep
Bi!Mike Wheeler who keeps trying to convince himself that it doesn’t mean anything and they’ve shared clothes before anyway
Bi!Mike Wheeler who makes Dustin give the jacket back to Lucas and refuses to explain why he can’t do it himself
Bi!Mike Wheeler who can’t pick up on even the most obvious clues no matter how hard it’s shoved in his face
Bi!Mike Wheeler who can’t think straight when Lucas asks to come over to watch a movie
Bi!Mike Wheeler who can feel every nerve in his body buzzing when Lucas plays with the ends of his hair while the movie plays
Bi!Mike Wheeler who still refuses to even consider the idea of Lucas feeling the same way until Lucas kisses his cheek before leaving
Guys, I’m so bored and have no ideas what to post, please send me some asks 🥹🥹🥹
