like the return of the r slur and horrible fatphobia and gay jokes and the misogyny oh my fucking god can we talk about the misogyny. we have culturally regressed to the eary 2010s but when you try to call people out they’re liek ohhh it’s just a joke 😂. i’m sorry but i don’t want to hear jokes about pedophilia or about rape or about racism that is not funny and it never will be. everything is ironic and if you get offended it’s cuz you’re a crazy femnazi who cares too much. because it’s apparently uncool to take anything serious or do anything with actual sincerity anymore

A friend pointed out that the "more posts like this" that pops up on my mothgoth tag looked like one of them moodboards, so naturally being a vain bitch I actually had to make one of those. So this is my aesthetic I guess.

Mike constantly trying to call Will but never writing him actually makes a lot of sense.

Letters are tricky. They force the writer to consider the relationship between them and the person they’re writing.

Picking a greeting forces you to evaluate the level of intimacy between yourself and the recipient. There are “rules” to writing salutations. Use this for your girlfriend, that for your mother, that for your teacher, etc. “Dear Will” has different connotations than “To Will” or “Hey Will”, or like, “To whom it may concern”.

It’s the same with closings: “Love, Mike”? “From, Mike”? “Best regards, Mike”? I mean, Mike and El literally argue about this. There are expectations for which specific words to use with which specific people depending on the situation, relationship, and topic.

Calls are different. They’re much more like normal conversations, where words are said but the exact phrasing is much more flexible. There’s less worrying about how a specific sentence will be received because there’s less room for that sentence to be pulled apart for its implications.

Basically, Mike wanted to call Will instead of writing him because writing letters would force him to clarify their relationship via a greeting or closing… which would force him to confront his feelings. Ha.

also I’m personally a huge fan of the idea that Mike has a bunch of half written letters to Will that he gave up on because they were too revealing— to himself
