WHAT. DOES. THIS. MEEAAAAAN?????
https://x.com/gaynnibals/status/1849548204003516634
(i hope the writers have been percolating similar idea and found the perfect art. and that this isn't just a random retweet)
I mean, the fact that the only good photo Louis took in s2 was when he was trying to take a photo of Dreamstat and accidentally caught Armand.....I think the writers probably have Plans, haha.
(I do love that fanart too though!)
#this is making me want to work on my tour photographer fic#ugh no sophie haha#i need to finish this article for my client and then i need to try and post the reunion fic first#(but this delights me haha)#iwtv s3 speculation#iwtv fanart

A juxtaposition with Octavia is that she was born for a great purpose and many people knew it
Too bad those DiGalaxises came to try exploit her for her powers and inheritances, meanwhile those Goetias basically trained her for that ' great purpose ' to be a great diplomatic figure, while all Octavia came to want was a sense of normalcy
' Chosen ' children often don't really feel a sense of ' normalcy ' growing up no matter how loved and cared for they are
And that's a tragic thing
Ask Harry Potter about it, for starters
Stolas had no idea what ' normal ' really is until IMP just adopted him
And then I bet he realized
That it would also be best for his daughter to take a break from royal stuff
Also Octavia can inspire different types of love with just her presence
I mean, look at IMP - they have only met her a few times in person up till Sinsmas, and already they are willing to go through great lengths to save her
Blitzo only took one meeting with her and already adopted her in his mind
Loona already sees Octavia as a sister because she knows what it's like to be gothic and often confused
The rest of the Goetias literally waged WARS over her custody
Too bad those DiGalaxises only see Octavia as a pawn to their doomed goals
#post sinsmas rant#helluva boss#i still need some time to recover from it....#prayers for stolas octavia reunion and blitz barbie wire reunion in s3#justice for octavia#justice for stolitz family

listen is crosshair's "i'm not them" line most likely going to be directed towards omega while she's telling him about tech and convincing him that he can still come back and be with the rest of the batch and be her brother? absolutely
am i manifesting that crosshair gets a moment very similar to the season 1 finale where he choses between the troopers and the batch, and he's leading the first batch of death troopers against his brothers, and he just sees echo holding omega in his arms, wrecker supporting a barely recovered tech, and hunter standing in front of all of them, watching him, waiting for him to make his decision, and he thinks back over everything that's happened, everything he's done, his moments with mayday, watching omega desperately attempt to convince him that there's still good in him, that he'll still always be a part of the bad batch.
a moment where he makes the decision, and he glances back at the troopers behind him, and just grips his rifle tighter, and all he can say is "i'm not them" before turning on the death troopers, rejoining the batch.
and maybe after he says this he's shot, and his last act is protecting his family, hoping that it will somehow make up for what he's done, his final moments being as a member of the bad batch
#do i need to write more reunion/s3 finale fics?#absolutely not#will i probably write this?#absolutely#also the fact that s3 is the final season????? i'm not okay besties#the bad batch#the bad batch crosshair#the bad batch omega#the bad batch wrecker#the bad batch tech#the bad batch hunter#arc trooper echo#star wars

a man will say with his whole chest that hes his own companion for now and live alone after a short timeskip and ppl will interpret it as getting back with his ex just bc they talked some stuff out. like did you not hear herrr shes focusing on herself #selfcare #healingera
#the thing is that louis may have broken up with the megalodon and has forgiven his great white ex. but he did NOT get back together with him#bc THAT is up to lestat to do in s3. he has to seduce him all over again. THAT is the point.#it baffles me how so many ppl interpreted the reunion as them getting back together...#like louis has LEARNED his lesson hes not gonna rebound with his ex after a 77 year long relationship built on lies.#he needs to be his own man for a while#sorry i got carried away ahaha#piksla.txt#iwtv

Heyyy hope you’re having a wonderful day! I wanted to request a Sparrow Ben Hargreeves one shot where like Y/N is oblivious to his feelings while he’s trying to drop hints?? (but failing because something always happens)
If not that’s totally fine!!! No pressure :3
oooo okay okay I can definitely try!! ; thanks for requesting, hope you enjoy 🫶 ; alsonsorry this is so bad idk y I flopped on this 😔
SPARROW! BEN ; damnit
summary ; ben's always being cockblocked
warnings ; language, mentions of alcohol
disclaimers ; takes place post s3 - pre s4
word count ; 881
masterlist
You stand in the kitchen with Luther, making dinner with him for the family. Everyone, aka the Hargreeves and Lila plus their kids, had come over for a little reunion for their birthday. You weren't a Hargreeves, nor did you have powers, but they were your only friends, and they each saved your life at least once.
Ben approaches, leaning on the counter where you chop up some green onions, a pot and pan on the stove behind you.
"Hey" He smiles. "Whatcha up to?"
You shrug. "Chopping up some onions. What's up?"
"Nothing, really. Allison picked out a really dumb movie to watch and I can't stand it anymore" He answers.
You'd tuned out the family in the living room just a few feet away, focused on your meal prepping / creating. You look up at the TV, seeing the family sprawled around the furniture, kids playing with toys on the floor.
"Ben, stop, this movie is so good" You reply, turning back to your cutting board.
"It's some cheesey Hallmark movie?"
"Hush"
The two of you are silent for a moment before he speaks again.
"Your hair looks really nice today-"
"Fuck!"
The siblings quickly shoot up from their spots, Ben jumping a bit as you rush to the stove.
You'd accidently lit the chicken on fire. Somehow.
You quickly slam a lid over the pan of chicken, not wanting to fuel the grease fire any more than you had. You quickly shut off the burner, slowly looking back at Ben.
"Could you go get me more chicken from the store? I'll give you the money, I just need to look over all this stuff, sorry for asking on your birthday-"
"Yeah, sure!" He quickly replies. "Anything for you"
"Hey, Y/n" Ben smiles, "I brought you flowers"
"Awe, thank you!" You reply, accepting the gift as he enters your home.
"I kinda wanted to talk to you about something-"
Your phone rings, the number being the one of your workplace. You grab it, looking to him before accepting the call.
"I gotta take this really quick, sorry"
He nods, watching you trail into the other room, flowers still in hand. He stands by the door, unknowing of what to do in the moment. He soaks up his own silence, listening to your unintelligible speech behind the walls.
You return swiftly, a sorry expression on your face.
"I'm so sorry, Ben, I need to go in, it's urgent. Uhm, we'll talk later, yeah?"
"Uh, yeah, sorry. Be safe"
As he quickly exits your home, he mutters to himself.
"Damnit"
"I dunno, maybe I'm crazy," you chuckle, picking up another piece of food with your fork.
"I don't think you're crazy." Ben shrugs. "I think you're overworked and tired"
You both sit in a booth at a restaurant, a bright light shining over the table, warm food on your plates. You were eating out because you both didn't want to cook dinner at home tonight. Being alone sucked for both of you. If only you both had the balls to talk to each other.
But that's your problem, you oblivious fuck.
You shrug at his response. "I dunno, I think being alone, living alone, is slowly driving me insane."
"I mean, you could live with me," He mumbles, picking at his food.
"Hm?" You hum, having not heard him.
"Oh, nothing"
"...You sure?"
"Yeah"
The silence blankets you once more as you listen to the nearby commotion. The other families eating, the bustling workers, the music over the speakers.
You listened to everything but him, didn't you?
Today was the day. Ben was going to ask you out and he was not going to let himself or anything else get in his way.
Well, maybe red wine ruining his shirt would.
Why did he decide to take you to a bar in the first place is what we're all wondering. It didn't take much for him to get at least buzzed, which was his current state.
You decided to walk him back home, not wanting him to walk in the dark all by his lonesome. The walk is quiet, considering his slightly bruised ego. Jesus, he'd never get the chance to ask you at this point.
He slumps onto his bed as you lead him into his home, yelling into his mattress. You stand behind him, silent, finding this normal, because it was.
"What're you mad about now?" You sigh, throwing a pair of pajamas on him which you'd gotten from his dresser.
"I wanted to ask you out, and I have for a while, and every time I try it gets fucking ruined!" He slurs, yelling into his mattress once more.
You blink, confused. "What?"
"I like you, Y/n, Jesus," He groans, rolling over to look at you.
"Oh"
"'Oh' what?"
"I didn't realize" You shrug.
"I know. That's why I was trying to hint at it and even tell you, but you're oblivious, and things always have to go sideways at the wrong time," Ben speaks.
"I mean, I'd go out with you"
He raises an eyebrow. "Actually?"
"Yeah" You shrug. "Why not?"
"Oh my God, that took the biggest weight off my shoulders." He rolls off the bed on accident, landing on the floor.
You laugh.
"Damnit"

I find it really suspicious (in a fun way) that, in every dramatic Crowley and Aziraphale reunion scene in Good Omens to date?
There has been something built into the scene preventing Crowley and Aziraphale from expressing any sort of physical intimacy as part of their response to seeing one another again.
Look at how hard this show is working to pass off 2.06 as the first kiss for some of its audience to help the twisty cliffhanger along...
-When Crowley & Aziraphale are reunited the morning after the bookshop attack, they can't hug or kiss because Crowley is accompanied back to the shop by a quartet of angels.
-When Crowley & Aziraphale are reunited on the tarmac in Tadfield, they can't hug or kiss because Aziraphale is in Madame Tracy's body.
-When Crowley & Aziraphale are reunited in the bar after the bookshop fire, they can't hug or kiss because Aziraphale doesn't have a body.
-When Crowley & Aziraphale are reunited after a night of Crowley being pulled from the sushi date into antichrist baby delivery duty, Crowley & Aziraphale can't hug or kiss because they are in public in St. James' Park.
-We are never shown the night in Crowley's flat before the body swap.
-We are pulled away from Crowley & Aziraphale in the middle of a flirty moment in 2008 and never see the rest of the night.
-We have been shown Crowley dragged to Hell in 1827 and his struggles in 1862 but we've yet to be shown their reunion after 1827.
It's a bit like 2.06 being their first kiss is massive sleight-of-hand and tied to their ability to pull off the big, twisty, cliffhanger ending. They need some people to believe that it was the first kiss to make that work so they've left a trail of breadcrumbs a mile long that it's not but also made sure we were never shown any situation in which they have before it.
That meant showing us the moments where we might suspect the most that it might happen-- these unavoidable reunion moments-- in such a way where there was always something preventing it.
Imagine what happens in S3 when that is no longer a factor.

So, that looks like Callum and Stella? Waiting outside the frozen ship? (Which, if the clip is actual show dialogue, could be him yapping to Stella while waiting for Rayla to get back, that does track with Callum’s yappiness)
And it fits with the screenshot from earlier with them maybe inside the ship, Stella is with Callum.
So why did Rayla go in alone? I know, I know, she does be doing that kinda thing.
Could be it’s a small opening to get in, or one hard to get to, or someone needs to keep watch, but my bet is the ship is trapped. Rayla has the rogue skill points, Callum is a clumsy boy you don’t want near traps, plus, Avatar reference with booby-trapped frozen ship (I forgot this, thanks @dinochickrox)
So Rayla goes in alone to search the frozen ship, Callum waits outside, then a booby trap goes off and sets the ship on fire and he goes in after her? Or she takes too long and he goes in after her and he sets off the booby trap? Either way, they’re trapped in a quickly thawing frozen ship, things are heating up?!
I had a theory waaaay back, that their big romantic reunion would be on a boat, because of parallels to romantic moments throughout the seasons: the rowboat/5 questions in S1, the lightning strike on Villads’ ship in S2 and the Ambler in S3 (camels are called ships of the desert).
I’d appreciate it if Callum brought the frozen ship metaphor back up as the ship catches fire:
Callum: Forget what I said! This ship is on FIRE!

Im rewatching TBB with my sister, so I only hope the reunion on S3 is something similar.
Everything is forgiving, this was something really depressing to draw, I need my sister to catch up, so I can watch S3 with her.
So far she is depress, and afraid, and ignoring Canon, we are in season 1, her favorite character is Tech and Rex, she is a spitting image of Tech, She reminds me a lot of him.
Here you go, @squad-724

Celestial Stars & Candy Apple Eyes (Castiel) (Dean)
Request: CanI request a Dean x Reader x Castiel (no Destiel) fic? Reader has been hunting with Sam and Dean for a long time (like since the events of early S1) and met Cas when Dean, Bobby and her went to the Barn (S4 E1). She had a Crush on Dean since the beginning and they kissed right before he died (end of S3) but they never talked about that again after he came back. And when she met Cas, she instantly felt a strong connection and also developed a Crush on him. So now she is conflicted, thinking both dont like her like that (Since Cas is an Angel and Dean doesn't talk about the kiss). The Fic could be right around S6, so Dean was with Lisa for a year which made Reader even more convinced that Dean didnt like her. And Cas hadn't contacted her in a while. But Dean, Sam and Reader started hunting again and called Cas a few times. During their interactions, the two boys realize how they feel and get jealous of the other for being close to Reader (or something like calling her petnames). Idk if all of that makes sense but thats the general Idea I had^^" @storytellers-randomshortstorys
A/N: you'd requested this back in April 2024, and I couldn't for the life of me think of what to do with it. SOrry for the lateness!
Summary: You're torn between man & angel, and cannot handle the jealousy anymore.
WC: 995
Warnings: jealousy, reader loves both dean & Castiel, pining
Read on ao3!
--
The Impala’s engine hummed a low, steady rhythm as the three of you drove through the dark backroads of Ohio. You were wedged in the backseat, your head resting against the window. Dean was behind the wheel, Sam in the passenger seat flipping through a case file.
The silence wasn’t awkward, but it wasn’t entirely comfortable either. You felt it keenly, especially every time you glanced at Dean. Things had been weird since he came back from Hell. Not outright bad, just... unspoken. That kiss before his deal ran out was a moment you couldn’t forget. But he never brought it up after he returned, especially not with Lisa in the picture for a whole year.
And Cas—well, Cas was another layer of confusion entirely. He wasn’t here often, but when he was, you couldn’t help but feel the pull toward him. The two of you had this... connection. Like you understood each other without needing to say much. He wasn’t human, but he made you feel seen in ways no one else did.
“You good back there?” Dean’s voice cut through your thoughts, rough but edged with concern.
“Yeah,” you lied, offering a small smile.
Sam looked back at you over his shoulder. “We should call Cas for this. If that witch really managed to pull off a binding spell like this, we’ll need more firepower.”
Dean grunted in reluctant agreement. “Fine, but he better not be off doing Heaven’s dirty work again.”
You rolled your eyes but stayed quiet. Dean always acted like he didn’t trust Cas, but you knew better. He was just too stubborn to admit he cared about the angel.
Later, at the motel, you all regrouped in the cramped room. Dean called Cas, who appeared with the usual flutter of wings.
“Hello,” Cas said, his gravelly voice sending an involuntary shiver down your spine. His eyes found yours immediately, lingering a beat longer than you expected. “Y/N.”
“Cas,” you replied, unable to stop the smile tugging at your lips.
Dean huffed. “Yeah, yeah, great reunion. You got anything for us, Feathers?”
Cas ignored the jab and got right to work explaining the spell you’d be facing. But as the conversation went on, you noticed something odd. Dean kept glaring at Cas every time the angel spoke directly to you, and Cas—well, he wasn’t much for subtlety. Every time Dean called you sweetheart or kiddo, Cas’s jaw tightened just slightly.
Sam noticed too, of course. He wasn’t oblivious. He shot you a look that said, You seeing this?
You were trying not to.
By the time you were setting up for the hunt that night, the tension was palpable. Dean was unusually snippy, barking orders with more edge than usual. Cas stayed unnervingly silent, only breaking it to answer your questions.
At one point, you felt Dean’s hand on your shoulder as he guided you to a safer position near the abandoned barn. His fingers lingered longer than they should have, and when you looked up at him, his green eyes softened. “Be careful, okay?” he murmured.
Your heart twisted. “I always am.”
From a few feet away, Cas’s eyes bore into the scene. He stepped closer as Dean walked away, his presence like a calm yet electric storm.
“Dean seems... protective of you,” Cas remarked, his voice low.
You shrugged, unsure how to respond. “It’s just Dean being Dean.”
Cas tilted his head, studying you in that way that always made you feel like he was looking straight through to your soul. “I don’t believe that’s all it is. He cares for you. Greatly.”
You froze. “What?”
He stepped closer, his gaze intense but not unkind. “And you care for him. But you also...” His voice faltered, rare for him. “You also care for me.”
Your throat felt dry. “Cas, I—”
Before you could finish, a loud crash from the barn interrupted, followed by Dean shouting for backup. You cursed under your breath and ran toward the noise, Cas right on your heels.
The fight with the witch was chaotic, but you managed to come out mostly unscathed. By the time it was over, the adrenaline had your heart racing.
Dean was pacing, muttering curses under his breath. When he saw you, he rushed over, his hands gripping your arms as he scanned for injuries. “You okay?”
“Yeah, Dean, I’m fine.”
“You sure? Because you scared the hell out of me back there.”
You opened your mouth to respond, but Cas’s voice cut in. “She handled herself well. She always does.”
Dean turned to glare at Cas, his grip on you tightening slightly. “Yeah, I know that, angel. But she’s not bulletproof, is she?”
“And you think I don’t know that?” Cas shot back, stepping closer.
You stepped between them, exasperated. “Guys, seriously? This is not the time.”
They both looked at you, their frustration melting into something softer. Something vulnerable.
Dean sighed, running a hand through his hair. “Look, Y/N. I—I care about you, okay? More than I should, probably. And I know I’ve been a dick about it, but—”
Cas interrupted, his voice calm but firm. “Dean, stop. She doesn’t need your guilt. She needs to know the truth.”
Dean glared at him, but Cas ignored it, turning his full attention to you. “Y/N, I’ve felt this connection with you since the moment we met. I don’t fully understand it, but I know it’s real. And I know you feel it too.”
Your breath hitched. This wasn’t happening. It couldn’t be happening.
“Y/N,” Dean said softly, stepping closer. “I don’t want to screw this up. I care about you. A lot.”
You stared at them, your heart pounding as you tried to process their words.
“I... I need time,” you finally said, your voice trembling. “I care about both of you, but I can’t just... choose like this.”
They both nodded, reluctantly stepping back. The hunt was over, but the battle in your heart had just begun.

I think we all fundamentally take Ian and Mickey's final episode in S2 wrong...
If we just take the "warm mouth" scene alone at face value then sure, Mickey is absolutely being deliberately cruel to Ian.
But let's look at how Ian takes it in the wake of that exchange, he talks about it only once in the next few episodes, and he says to Mandy that "Mickey thinks I pussied out" [on killing Frank] and he thinks he 'kinda' did.
This is Ian and Mickey soulmatism "we just get each other on a molecular level", so their thought process is somewhat inscrutable to us on the outside, but I think, in a way, that Mickey was already pretty serious about his relationship with Ian in season 2 and seeing Ian not willing to "fight" for them to be together felt like the ultimate betrayal.
Let's not forget that in that initial scene right after Frank discovered them Mickey was talking in plural, 'we do this, we do that'.
Seeing Ian refusing to help him the way he needed to be helped was definitely something that hit Mickey hard and caused him to lash out.
And it's not like Ian wasn't trying in his way! He was going through what he thought was the safest route to keep Mickey around cause he also cares a great deal about his not-boyfriend (let's not forget that the point of not killing Frank isn't that he turns his nose up at patricide but that he didn't want Mickey to go to juvie).
By misunderstanding his actions and not giving him time to explain Mickey jumps the gun and says what he says, and he's only able to see reason months later when nothing happens from the safety of prison.
There's obviously that other layer to the conversation, that Ian fundamentally doesn't understand the severity of the risk for Mickey and just how afraid he is ('we've got nothing to be ashamed of' 'what fucking world do you live in') because their families are so different, which will bite him in the ass later.
Mickey coming back to Ian in S3 the way he did, I know some people found it weird that Ian was immediately on board when their last interaction was what it was (cause we're fixated on the "you're nothing but a warm mouth"), but what they don't get is that this is Mickey forgiving Ian and giving him another chance, not the other way around.
Edit: I also don't think that that whole situation was swept under the rug either, Mickey learns pretty quickly that Ian isn't at his beck and call anymore at the beginning of S3, despite what their initial reunion suggests, that he's got "options" (yes Ian was doing it to make him jealous, but he doesn't know that) and I think that was him learning that in S2 he had pushed Ian too far away, that his words and actions had consequences in the relationship.
#sorry if this is rambly and disconnected#I'm just having thoughts#shameless#gallavich#my post#shameless us#mickey milkovich#ian gallagher#gallavich meta#i just think that Ian never gave the warm mouth comment the weight the fandom did#i have this headcanon in my head#that s2 Gallavich had progressed far enough that they were exclusive with each other#maybe never said it explicitly#and so the beginning of S3 is them basically regressing in their relationship

I just finished my s3 rewatch yesterday and I need to talk about how heartbreaking Mike's sequence is in the final scenes. You can literally see his reaction to figuring out that he's gay evolve from initial confusion, to shock, to devastation and distress as well as immense fear about what comes next.
When El kisses him, he realizes right off the bat that something about the kiss is "off," though not necessarily bad. He's kind of left wondering, "Huh? What the hell was that about?" asking himself why the kiss didn't mean more to him and why he couldn't bring more passion to the kiss, especially in light of the fact that he's not going to see El for a very long time. It's not the reaction of someone who just realized something about themselves, but the reaction of someone who realizes that something is just not quite right. Mike does not immediately realize he's gay, he's just like, "I wonder why I feel this way."
It's not until the kids are outside watching the Byers family leave that Mike is starting to put the pieces together. He's just had his final interaction with both Will and El for the time being. He's just said his goodbyes, and as he's watching the moving van drive away, he's realizing that his feelings about Will and El leaving are not what he expected them to be. "Will can come, too," is what he told El when El was talking about coming to visit over the holidays, but he's realizing that he didn't just invite Will to tag along as a third wheel to what would essentially be a romantic reunion between El and himself. He's realizing that Will is not secondary to his relationship with El and never has been. Will is the one he finds himself thinking about and pining for as he watches Will and El slip out of his life. Mike is the last party member to leave the Byers' residence, and we see him glancing back at the house, the place where he's shared so many memories with Will, and as he starts biking back to his own house, he realizes that he has a lot to contemplate and come to terms with on his ride there.
I believe he has the ACTUAL realization that he's gay on his bike ride home, once everything starts falling into place for him: El kissed him and he felt nothing. Will was the one he was thinking about as he watched the Byers family leave Hawkins; not El. He took one last good look at Will's house and realized that the most important and tender connection he has in his life is the relationship he has with Will: not the one he has with El.
And then, by the time he gets home, he's successfully figured out what it all means and he's in shock. Not only is he in shock, but he feels trapped now. Horrified of the implications of what this means for him, what it means for his relationship what his family, and what it means for his relationships with both Will and El, neither of which he will very easily be able to nurture or work on now that Will and El will be across the country from him. He's just discovered the most shocking, life-changing fact about himself--something that will change the trajectory of his life and will be a great source of suffering and oppression for him--and he's going to have to navigate it and figure it out all by himself, without any help, understanding, love or support from his own family, the Byers family, or his friends.
He hugs his mom and feels the weight of it all hitting him at once. He's thinking about how his mom may love him and want to be there for him now, in this moment, but there may come a time when she will no longer be there for him. He's realizing what this means for his relationships with El and Will. No doubt he feels a huge amount of responsibility to love and be there for El. El loves him and depends on him, and the fact that he's been there for her this entire time, he's already set the precedent for El herself, Hopper, and his own friends that he's going to be that for her: someone who loves and defends her. He feels the crushing guilt of knowing that he's going to let every single one of those people down by being gay. Of knowing that El loves and depends on him and that he can't love her back.
And then there's his relationship with Will, which he no doubt believes will be negatively affected by these newfound feelings. In his mind, Will is his best friend but also someone who is "normal" like the rest of the boys. Will may be a bit of a late bloomer, but he's going to grow up, start talking to girls, and have a girlfriend of his own soon enough. And Mike probably believes that from this point onward, his relationship with Will is going to be awkward, distant, and emotionally stunted by the fact that he's secretly in love with Will.
My poor BABY. I just can't even imagine the weight he must have felt once he realized he was gay and all of these crashing, painful realizations just slammed him all at once. In a matter of minutes, he realized he was going to be ostracized, alone, and a huge letdown to everyone in his life and that he'd have to face this all by himself.

If byler isn't endgame, the duffers need to give a lot of explanation about:
"It's not my fault you don't like girls"
Airport reunion and Mike's behavior
Mike's reaction to El kissing him in the end of S3
Mike and Will paired togheter exactly like the other ships while El was alone the whole S3
Will's conversation with Joyce "I'm not gonna fall in love". What's the point of it if when he did fell in love, it's unrequited?
Will being in love with Mike since at least S2 (the script saying that Will was looking at Mike while dancing with that girl)
The directing choice of the Milevn breakup scene in comparison with byler rain fight and the aftermath (Will being devastated, El looking at other guys in magazine, Max saying that Mike is going to be crawling back to her begging for forgiveness in the same episode he actually do it for Will instead)
Why Mike didn't call Will and if he did and that line from Dustin was any indication, why tf he didn't just say it?
"I was worrying to much about El, I feel like I lost you". Why, tho?
Mike's inability to say ily
Why to use Will's feelings to save mlvn relationship?
Why not to just finish this storyline on S4, instead of let Mike clueless that the painting is from Will until the last season and also about his feelings.
Why Mike and El weren't talking that much by the end of S4 while byler was paired together, like the other canon couples.
The parallels.
Why have will reminding Mike of his whole speach before Mike could finally say he loves El and not having Mike doing it on his own?
The "shared looks" thing
Why Will was in LITERALLY ALL MLVN SCENES from s4
This and so much more. I just wanted to ask... WHY???????
