One thing I find funny about this poster in Mike's room is not only does it show a dragon either very unnecessarily over exaggerated muscles, suggesting that Mike likes guys (as posters of attractive people in various character's rooms often show sexuality) but the fact that the monster is conjoured by a wizard- Will.
(Although Will is referred to as a cleric most of the time, especially by Mike, he was originally a wizard I'm pretty sure, plus the Stranger Things fandom wiki also calls his DnD a wizard- Will the Wise is a very wizardy name- so I'm going to use this iffy logic for this post lol)
It's almost as if Will is revealing Mike's sexuality to Mike himself . Furthermore, the appearance of the monster in the poster is very demon like- corrating to the themes of the satanic panic in s4, suggesting that Mike sees his sexuality as sinful and 'freak'-like.
I also love how easy it is to apply the blue/yellow colour theory to this poster- the smoke is blue showing how this monster is coming out of Mike and the background behind the wizard is yellow which reminds the audience of Will, but my favourite part is how the monster is green. If we run with the concept that it represents Mike's sexuality, then you could also say how the green represents Mike and Will together- saying that not only is Mike attracted to men but he also likes Will.

right but like the thing is forgiveness =/= continued association. i can forgive AND 'forget' (not dwell on it) and move on like bye bye ur not for me no more. in fact i think that's almost the only way *to* truly get over someone lol. like u cant flat out leave someone in the dust unless u rly accept what they did, accept their remorse, and put it behind both of u. idk if im in love w the whole attitude of like no some ppl shouldnt be forgiven ever >:C like wat good does it rly do to hold that bitterness within u?

How do I explain that my girlfriend not wanting to have sex with me literally makes me feel awful. Like I love her but we haven't fucked in MONTHS and I legitimately want to kms, touching myself does nothing, it's about being physically intimate with another person, and if I don't have sex I get soooooo irritable and sad and I know if we fucked literally ONCE it would fix me, because it literally does every single time

i dont get it when people are like "i've separated this character so much ive forgotten what canon is" like. if i have a point to make i need to re-go through EVERYTHING bc god forbid i overlooked a tiny detail that disproves everything. or like. what if in the time i wasnt actively paying attention to it theres been a major update that rewrote a significant part of the story and what i read and what other read is now fundamentally different. what if i somehow managed to read something completely different, clicked a wrong link or didn't notice a different window pop up, and im not actually talking about what i think im talking about. & even when i have my 75 sources & time stamps & links im STILL like "but i might be wrong"
