“Соврать по-своему – ведь это почти лучше, чем правда по одному по-чужому; в первом случае ты человек, а во втором ты только что птица!”

-Фёдо�� Достоевский, Преступление и наказание.

Translation:

“Lying in your own way is almost better than telling the truth in someone else’s way; in the first case you are a man, and in the second you are just a bird!”

-Fyodor Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment.

Mac acting like a teenage girl about his relationship with Johnny is all fun and giggles, but can we talk about how him saying the word "love"/"lover" triggers something in Dennis' brain that makes him correct it.

In 12×10 (Dennis' Double Life) Mac calls himself Brian's lover and Dennis corrects him by saying that he is his partner.

In 16×4 (Frank vs Russia) Mac says he is in love with Johnny and Dennis responds by empathizing that Johnny "doesn't even like him".

see actually i do like an accept content that is germany and italy shipped with other characters but it has to be done accurately ie. their lives have to be absolute dogshit because theyre not together. because i can enjoy a good rusger or ameger but only if germany is literally enduring the worst torture known to mankind and doesnt even really end up actually loving the other person its more of some stockholm syndrome shit because i in fact do believe thats exactly what would realistically happen in a universe where germany and italy dont stick together for whatever reason. like for italy he doesnt need to be experiencing actual guantanamo bay torture like germany but he does need to be living a "hate my wife" syndrome existence with the other mf. because i think italy would only not get hate my wife syndrome with germany and with anyone else eventually hed end up cheating n shit lawl

going off of your BEAUTIFULLY worded post(s) about byler being inevitable and treating queer characters with respect, do you think they will explore byler's sexuality with a sex scene or just keep it to a kiss? Or perhaps another kind of scene?

Honestly...I don't feel like a sex scene is likely? Not because they're too young or anything. There have been sex scenes between people Will and Mike's age on the show before--thank you Steve and Nancy--so that wouldn't be the issue. Nor do I think it would be an issue with them being a queer couple.

My prediction--and I could be wrong; this kind of depends on how the rest of the season goes with regards to the main action plot--is that Will and Mike are going to get together at a climactic moment. Maybe leading up to the final clash or during it. And sex scenes really need time to breathe. Steve and Nancy had sex at the beginning of Season 1. Jonathan and Nancy had sex in the middle of Season 2. They had time.

But I think, if the writers waited until the final season of the show to make this couple canon, it's because it's important. Not a romantic subplot, but plot. I think, in some way or another, the romantic plot and the action plot are going to be intertwined, and they're going to climax together. You know, like they're having SE-- There'd just be no comfortable place to fit a sex scene at the height of the action. Like, imagine trying to fit a Lumax sex scene when they're in the attic at the end of Season 4. It just doesn't go there. They got the cute little doodle scene instead.

I very much think Mike and Will are going to kiss, though. I'd be shocked if they didn't.

So basically what I'm saying is...I feel like Byler is going to be too important for a sex scene to happen. I could see a scene early on portraying some sort of sexuality, particularly from Mike's side, to show to the general audience that something is happening, that it's not just one-sided. For instance maybe they'd have to change clothes in the same room for some reason, a la Joyce and Hopper in S4, and Mike would look just a little too long before turning around. But a full-blown sex scene...probably not?

The more specific stuff like this gets, of course, the harder it is to predict, so I'm a little less certain about this prediction than Byler simply being canon, but, yeah, gun to my head? Kiss, absolutely. Sex, probably not.
