I read somewhere that someone denying Byler dismissed it as a "bromance."

BROMANCE!?

BROMANCE!?

Drop the B, then we'll talk.

“the process of letting mike go” and it’s a scene where will says he’ll always need mike

[human-ithink17]

genuinely insane

first of all, why did they choose mike. Why isn’t will holding his own painting.

& then there’s the parallel of the two (they had to reposition the painting, which emphasizes this even more)

and mike had a paper from el (the note) that he could’ve held (or just like, not have him and make his spot a different character)

[the-strangest-heart]

obsessed w how mike and will’s hands always get so so close to touching, but never quite do, bc the space between them is louder than any casual brush of fingertips

[bellamoooon]

headcanon steve is super ultra mega overprotective of his boyfriend, billy. this, i know for a fact because he told me so literally today.

i feel like he’s one of the few people who truly acknowledges and remembers that billy’s actually younger than him?? and younger than he looks in general. outwardly, he kinda gets it— billy’s a bit above average height and has honed his body into something solid and firm. his voice carries and his attitude is reinforced by his ability to pack a freaking punch, so yea, he knows what it looks like. he knows what it feels like.

but even when billy’s all wound up and angry, all steve sees is a boy who’s had to be anything but himself for as long as he’s been alive. he sees a boy who hasn’t had anyone in his corner ever since his mom died and has been forced to fight all of his battles alone; without the comfort of support or solace.

and this remains true, even after starcourt, when billy is admittedly more vulnerable; even when he’s back on his own two feet and his sonofabitch father intends on making his life a living hell. and steve remembers the hell that billy had been put through that night—how cold he had been in his arms and logically, threatens the beat the shit out of neil hargrove.

okay, he doesn’t but he does remind him, rather pointedly, that he knows “hopper, the chief?” just to watch the smug expression bleed off of the older man’s face. he takes advantage of neil hargrove’s terse silence and helps billy pack most of his things evenly into the camaro and beemer.

and living away from neil does wonders to billy. he’s a little bit shyer, a little softer but it’s much like a child who’s been gifted this wonder and is waiting for the other boot to drop.

everyone still anticipates the blonde’s sneering and spitting but he’s the only one looking for the barely perceptible shake of his hands. he’s the only one who knows, privately, that billy’s only storming out because he’s staving off hot tears.

so when the party comes over to steve’s house for game night and billy makes himself scarce, steve knows it’s because he’d rather disappear, than possibly face their rejection or be the root of their discomfort.

he understands that billy knows how important time with the kids is for him; how much he adores them. and as the night goes on, steve realizes just how much he’s missed having them around at his. he’s glittering, gleaming— happy.

that is, until their game runs a little too late and eventually, steve hears footsteps padding downstairs.

he’s not the only one that does, though and there’s a pause in their shouting, as everyone’s heads swivel in the direction of the noise.

and there he is, halfway down the stairs and rubbing at his eyes.

billy’s pretty and groggy and steve can just barely make out how sleep-swollen his cheeks are; how soft and sweet he looks. god, he’s so in love with him. he wants to kiss him so badly— “what’s he doing here?”

and that’s all it takes for the smile to get wiped off of steve’s face. his expression shutters and he can feel it happen, knows he must look furious. “you—“ he points a finger at mike and hikes it over his shoulder. “kitchen, now.”

there’s a different kind of silence now in the room and steve doesn’t even look at billy to see exactly what his face is doing in response right now, not when he’s too busy staring mike down. and poor mike, he’s still indignant and defensive about it all as he splutters out a, “but we were all thinking it,” which just makes things worse.

and so, right then and there, he’s all, “you don’t get to come in here— into our home and make him feel less than. things are different now and you don’t have to be his biggest fan but that, you won’t do that,” clearly speaking to everyone in the room. anyway, billy’s touched, it’s all so very sweet because steve’s in his corner and they live happily ever after like all the gays should.

I just realized something so sweet and personal about Will's painting.

Their DnD characters don't look like that. We saw him draw them plenty in season 1. Will the Wise has a long beard and Mike's character I think has straight blond hair.

Will didn't just draw their characters per usual, he drew them as their characters. He's drawn Mike's knight character a hundred times. But he's never drawn Mike as a knight. He was understanding that Mike's character is a projection of who he aims to be, like all of them, so he drew MIke as the knight this time. For the first time.

That's what this smile is. Mike has played a hero for years. But he's never been one. He saw a dragon and probably expected his character, overjoyed with more of Will's familiar art, but instead, he was met with a glorious knight in shining armor with black, wavy hair. He was the hero this time. *(you can even see his facial expression change from happy excitement to this broad smile)

In season 1, Mike initiates the search party because of Will's heroics in DnD meaning that he would do it for them. He acknowledges that Will's actions in character are still his own. This is the same. This is Will saying "To play a hero, you have to be one yourself. And you are. I see through your character disguise. I see you. This is just the hero you've always been without the mask."

THAT is why it's different. THAT is why it's so much more personal than all the others, not just the heart, MIKE. THAT is why it hurts so bad (Will too but I'm referring to me/us).

I've said in a previous post that it wasn't about the heart, the heart was kind of for us, it was more-so about the heroism. And that's exactly what I standby. The heart isn't the only new thing about this painting. The hero has never actually been Mike before. And Will responded "Yes it has been. It always has been."

First post ever so be indulgent please.

So, I had this funny dream last night were Michael used the hole in his stomach to hide or stock things, generally food to share with others. He can’t eat but is happy to provide for Henry who often forget the eat. It may seem gross and it his a little, but Michael make sure that it’s always sealed one way or the other and wash the bag/can before giving it.

I don’t remember all of it but I remember that at one moment him and Henry were talking about lawsuits and Henry asked him if he gained weight.

H: sorry for asking, but did you gain weight? Last time I saw you, you were skin and bones, literally. Now your stomach seems soft and squishy…?

M: … it’s bread…

H : bread? You can eat?

M: no…, i can’t… It’s for the ducks…?

H: the ducks?

M: yes…

H: Michael… wtf?

And then they went together feed the ducks. Helpy loved it.

Then I woke up thinking that was funny and cute and a little disgusting, and I should draw it before I forgot.

Might finish the drawing later or continue that silly idea.

“robin talks to mike about him being gay-” “lucas talks to-” “vickie talks-”

NO! you guys are all wrong. no one talks to him. mike just accidentally sees robin and vickie kissing and laughing and he has an out of body experience when he realizes that people like him can be happy and find love and that is enough to push him to talk to will.

[skyblueartt]

@glitch-1983 wait here's another late night quick doodle of the guy, but he's sad this time wahhh lmao :(

[human-ithink17]

this is actually so insane

we have the lumax set holding pieces of paper that represents the growth of their relationship & then there’s mike with the fucking painting from will. & they had to reorient the picture so it we can see it, which coincidentally (or maybe not so much) parallels the lumax funkos even more.

AND it’s not like they had no paper mike could hold of el’s. (the note???) like you really had to have mike holding the painting??? ok.

[onewaycloset7]

Now come on…. Explain this one pals 🥰💔
