#mike wheeler ik what u r

[tswift4life]

mike wheeler.

What kind of point r u trying to make here dude. Like I don’t think I have to make it any more clear that Mike sucks and that I truly hate him so if ur trying to prove to me that he is hot or kind or smthn stupid like that it’s not gonna work bc ik how bad Mike is…

WAIT HOLD UP 😭😭😭😭 I DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE HELP 😭😭😭😭 Will is expecting Mike to be mad at El for lying but we end up getting a byler rink-o-mania fight instead WHAT THE HELL 😭😭 Oh it's gonna be MESSY. The painting will be messy. Also I thought about what if El was lying in the letter and she actually commissioned the painting yk since it's her lying that is emphasized in the episode, but then I thought about Mike's reaction to Will holding the painting at the airport and 😭😭, yeah Mike's reaction at the airport still wouldn't make sense given another context 😭 Given any other context really, yeah we can say it's just cause he's mad at Will in general for not talking but like why would he and the duffers specifically highlight the painting? To subtly hint Will's feelings? They can show that without Mike's awkward "What's that? Cool" since the van scene was there. NO HETEROSEXUAL EXPLANATION, MIKE WHEELER IK WHAT U R

y'all remember when will is confronting el about lying to mike and he says "i don't think mikes gonna like that you're lying to him. and he doesn't deserve that and when he finds out he's gonna be mad."

his point + logic is: mike is going to be mad that you've been lying because you're his girlfriend and you keeping the truth from him hurts him extra worse because he loves you

literally canon. established. that is his entire point.

then WHO DOES MIKE GET MAD AT FOR KEEPING THE TRUTH FROM HIM? WILL BYERS.

he literally doesn't gaf that el has been lying to him he's more upset that will didn't butt into their relationship to clear up el's lie because the idea of will keeping the truth from him hurts extra bad (because he's in love with will)

hi astro (hope thats ok if i call you that!) heard you wanted interactions 👁 just wanted to say i absolutely adore your fics and i can tell how much love and passion was put into each and every one of them. so my question for you is, whats your favorite fic to write? what exuded the most emotion for you and what you feel like is your magnus opus? this can be multiple answers because you deserve to be proud of a lot of your works since theyre all great! have a great time wherever you are 🎉

omg YELLING that is so cute 😭 yes ofc u can call me that !! that is soooo kind of u !! seriously idk smth abt this compliment just . is so personal to me bc i Do probably care more abt my fics than i should for someone who is a full time student w a job but i just Cannot help it,, anyways thank u sm that made me smile so big i’m hugging u so tight 🫂🫂 and ooohhgg boy ok never ask me my favorite Anything bc i will not shut up abt it ! for me i think my fav fics of mine to write would be either you can hear it in the silence or i might be hoping about this which are both so deeply personal to me and i probably projected more than is feasibly healthy in both of them,, oops! and ik u did not ask for an Analysis but u are going to get one anyway so settle down grab some popcorn here we gooo

ok so idk about Magnum Opus but . you can hear it in the silence is probably the most personal fic i have ever written and the closest to a magnum opus i’ll ever get bc 1. i relate so deeply to mike wheeler as is and this was kind of how i interpreted his struggle w his identity and coming into himself just as a teenager navigating that weird place between high school and college and figuring out your interests and who u are,, and 2. full disclosure bc we’re all Friends here i Did write this fic right after a long distance relationship ended earlier in the summer which definitely influenced my decision to write it in the first place and 3. idk! there were so many aspects of this fic that were just me projecting, like mike getting the older sister mentor figure he deserves (i love nancy but she is Not the greatest older sister ok) and learning to take his time w things when you feel like u dont have enough of it,, anyways i would say this fic is probably my Favorite ive written ! it’s rly hard for me to reread my works but this one ive read back a few times and i actually. enjoy it?

i might be hoping about this is also rly special to me because IDK i just want what they have in this fic so bad dsdfjsdfj like. tender intimacy w someone who knows u better than u know urself! never having to feel like a burden to someone who loves u because they r happy to take care of u even when u can’t do the same,, idk i just think will byers deserves everything good in the world, and i really liked exploring his relationship to illness/his past trauma in this fic, especially since it was my first time writing established relationship! i Did have to step away from my laptop multiple times while writing this to scream into my pillow (literally im not exaggerating guys) because it was just so soft! and i felt so Lonely! anyways this is also a very special fic to me ik im literally the one who wrote it but GODDAMN i made myself sad.

thank u so much for the kind message again! i know u literally did not Ask for this page long analysis of my own writing but i am nothing if not incapable of being succinct so. <3
