I DONT WANT TO LIVE THROUGH INTERESTING TIMES. STOP MAKING ME LIVE THROUGH INTERESTING TIMES. CAN OUR TIMES PLEASE GET A LITTLE LESS INTERESTING.

I like to think Juniper could get his name cleared. Like, the mimic mask exists, sure he got shown to have betrayed the world, but surely they wouldn’t’ve broadcast a death live? If they could, which i’m sure they could, they could convince the press that no, it wasn’t john, it was someone else who pretended to be him.

Now, yes, if he survived, he’d still be scarred and injured, but i’m sure they’d be able to come up with a convincing lie as to why he has them, and/or show photos/press with good enough covering of the injuries and scars. He’s rich, and he works for Zoraxis. Zoraxis does not want the world to know a valuable asset has done this. They need John alive, and they want to imprison him themselves.

I don’t know how to articulate this, but:

Mike being forced to give up parts of his childhood (both literally and figuratively) early in the show and continually having his feelings belittled:

He still cares about his toys, this part of his childhood, and wants to keep them, but he has his emotions belittled by both of his parents.

We know Mike still has a lot of childish whimsy in season 1:

But by season 3 he has internalized a lot of what both his parents and society has taught him. Being childish and nerdy is punishable and easily taken away. Maybe, maybe, if he's a little cooler, he won't be so bullied.

Mike and Lucas bond over having girlfriends, being more “grown up”, while Dustin goes off to science camp (unapologetically nerdy) and Will is trying to right himself after all that’s happened to him.

Mike is trying to grow up here, and trying to do it in the only way he knows how, getting a girlfriend and adhering to some sort of normal.

I fully believe it wasn't Mike's intention to hurt Will here. He just doesn't want the blame ("It's not my fault", see also: "Why am I the bad guy?") for doing the best he can do, essentially, survive. High school is looming over them at this point. He can't go into high school as a kid.

Here, what he thinks he's doing, albeit misguidedly, is guiding the party. He's trying to make sure they stay on some sort of normalcy-track, because the more they grow up the weirder their interests are.

But then, in season 4, he’s still in Hawkins but he has the chance for a fresh start. He sees an opportunity to do the things he loves and cares about:

(He doesn't say anything about how they'll totally be too old to play DnD when Will comes back. He does nothing to discourage Will thinking that they might.)

and not be ostracised for it, or at the very least be “cooler” about not fitting in.

Mike does want to fit in, and in Hellfire he gets a chance to be under the wing of Eddie, someone charismatic who he admires. Hellfire are undoubtedly outcasts, but they're cool about it. They have matching shirts. They have a reason. They outcasts because they're better. He's outside the ecosystem of highscool, but inside the ecosystem of Hellfire Club.

And then he comes to Lenora, and both he and el are trying SO hard but it all comes crashing down,

and when he tries to confide in her, be vulnerable, this happens:

Apparently, Mike doesn’t understand what it’s like to be different. to want so badly to be normal but know you, aren't. Can’t be.

And then El disappears, and he and Will are finally friends again. And Will says this, after Mike is once again blamed for something that isn't really his fault:

He validates Mike's feelings. And he's genuine about it. And Mike can tell.

I honestly don't know where I was trying to get with this, but. Yeah. Will cares about Mike's feelings and validates them, and values Mike as a person, as he is.

In a bout of violent hyperfix I have envisioned a RWBY x Armored Core fic and desperately need to share this thought with the world. That is all.

Is it just me, or am I the only one who thinks that Ozzie's mirror is a comfort item for Fizz? He could have very easily given his reflection that "You're fine" talk in the big mirror, but instead he goes for this one and it almost reads as him wanting to use that one to calm himself down. He even sounds like he's almost calmed himself down right before Ozzie comes in to check up on him.

Ok so the new helluva dropped and I like, actually really love what they've done with Fizz. Like first off he's not inspiration porn which is fucking fantastic, low bar but still. And when he talks about his disability when it first happened he doesn't ignore that it was painful and took a lot of adapting but that it didn't ruin his life. Which holy shit I feel we don't see that enough, that the struggles of being disabled are addressed but it doesn't make a person unable to have a good life. He's still living a pretty good life.

Plus we got to see addressed a few underlying habits with Fizz, like the fact he apologizes about himself getting jumped and coming home beat up. And Ozzie just gently tells him he doesn't have to apologize for something that isn't his fault and gets him a new repaired prosthetic. It's so simple but it's so sweet

And thankfully I was worried they were gonna infantalize him a lot but nope! He can be cute sometimes but they still show him being an asshole too, duality we love to see. And the dogs were cute. It's not the biggest detail but it's so fitting to have like 10 feral chihuahuas, one of which is disabled and seems to be his favorite lmfao

Anyways fun episode and fun character
