#bruisegate

[stranger-theory]

random theories i pulled out of my ass about mikes bruise aka bruisegate because i need more gates

1. ofc we all know Leader Mike is back yesss so our first option is that when Dustin gets beat up by those jocks who mess with Eddie's grave, Mike becomes big strong gay man and decides to give them a taste of their own medicine, and he does good until it turns out like that fight Steve had with Billy and someone else comes in to stop that from getting worse (or Mike leaves on his own! who knows, maybe he finally gained some common sense).

2. that fucking ass wipe Troy comes back and tries to pick on Will but Mike gets a teeeeeny bit overexcited about beating him up and underestimates the situation (hopefully Buff Byers gets a scene if this is the case!).

3. in some wacky situation, Lonnie comes back and starts something for something idk no one cares about him. maybe instead of Troy its Lonnie and Mike steps in ? this could hopefully lead a path for Jonathan and Mike's relationship if he's the one to intervene!

3. this one is very loose and not thought out but perhaps Holly got into a situation in which she needed saving, resulting in Mike's injury. maybe someone is trying to take her and he fights for her safety ? (not sure who, i just think that if Mike is going to get hurt for some specific people, Holly is gonna be within that group).

4. he tripped because he was too focused on Will's smile.

5. he tripped because he was too focused on Will's eyes.

6. he tripped because he was too focused on Will's hair.

7. he tripped because he was too focused on Will's lips.

8. he tripped because he was too focused on Will.

what do we think.

bruised belly??? i need to go take a second look… could it be not a injury bruise but a love bite?!?!?!👀

Good morning and welcome to #Bruisegate, friends!! 🤭🤭

Truly it's like an optical illusion to me at this point. I've rewatched it so many times. I don't know! A bruise, a love bite, a sunburn, a shadow. I'm just glad he flashed a little skin of which has allowed us heathens a topic to speculate about!! Noah has too much power over us heehee
