Huh, that's interesting. You see Michael as more closed off than Liz? I see adult Liz more closed off and being able to compartmentalize (much like Alex) but while Michael is prickly he also very visibly cares about the people he loves. And Maria was already one of those people in s1. He did keep showing up for her. I guess I have no issue with Michael caring about Maria, my M!luca problem was that I never really saw the opposite of that? Until the breakup scene. That whole scene boiled down to Maria realizing that she can't ultimately measure up to Malex (she already knew no one loves Michael more than Alex and she just realized that goes both ways) and actually doing something selfless for him for the first time ever even if it hurt her.

I think Michael and Liz express love differently. She IS excellent at compartmentalizing, but she is very free with expressing her love. You see it not just with Max and Kyle, but also in how she interacts with her dad, and Rosa as well. Michael has a lot of self-worth issues and is always expecting people to leave,especially if he is “difficult”. Prickly is an excellent word choice! And while we as the audience can see him bending over backwards for the people he loves, the show doesn’t like to let other people acknowledge that. (Case in point, episode 5 where Isobel lectures Michael on how the fact that they aren’t close is almost entirely his fault and guilt trips him for his trauma responses. Michael does need to take responsibility for his actions but he is constantly having blame shifted onto him by others and I am tired). 

I also have feelings about how some things in season one don’t really make sense narratively and feel very contrived in order to try and make something else make sense, and one of those things is the later interactions with Michael and Maria. Michael showing up at the bar ad then comforting her when he saw she was crying felt very in character. They know each other casually and Michael isn’t a monster. But their interaction before the gala felt very weird, and him being the one to stay with her after she was drugged (especially that physically close when last they were together she made it very clear she didn’t want anyone to know they had anything to do with each other) made no sense. But you’re right, one of the issues with M*luca was how one-sided things were with them. (Also the fact that M*ria knew no one loves Michael more than Alex but she went after him anyways and didn’t even bring it up with Alex until a couple months down the line, but I digress.)

Finally someone else who's anit-Forest. I dislike him for literally existing to be in the way. At least Maria's a person/may be in the fandom to be part of an (if illconceived) OT3

Ahaha let me tell you, getting this asked made me laugh. I love being known as the anti-Forest blog in the fandom.

Look, Forest might be a sweetheart and might help Alex blow off some steam but I think you identified perfectly the reason I don't like him. He's just introduced to be an obstacle to Malex rather than a character on his own.

But another big reason I'm anti-Forest is because I'm anti Miluca. I'm a loser who is very pro my OTP and I don't like seeing them with other people. So I'm an equal opportunity hater to people getting in the way of my OTP being together.

Also I'd like Maria a lot more if they'd give us what we wanted and paired her with Isobel 😂
