Not to make it about Byler but Bylers have been saying Mike won’t fit in El’s arc in Season 5 because with the way her story’s going, she’ll work with Lucas to save Max…and well…
can i just say i love how direct they are with each other. their respective romantic subplots are just all parties involved begging each other to communicate like human people but madwheeler besties worsties just yell their issues at each other whenever there's a hint of conflict. there's no guessing games. max hates ambiguity so she demands answers and mike doesn't give a fuck about people's feelings so he gives them straight. here's what's wrong with you. here's the problem. and there's no hard feelings on either side about it, ever. they always end up on the same team again by the end no matter what bullshit they were arguing about all season. it's so good and healthy and i'm so sad that we're getting so little of it
My byler hot take is that Mike treated El as nothing more than a normal kid in s1. He didn’t just keep her around so he could find Will, he let her stay bc she said bad men would murder her if he told anyone about her. He only called her a “weapon” bc he was trying to convince Lucas to help find her, before that he said he wanted to find her bc “she’s one of us now.” It’s a disservice to Mike’s character to claim he only liked her bc of her powers or bc she could help him find Will.
Maturing is accepting that Mike is scared of losing everyone he loves not just El or Will, and that's why he was so upset with Lucas joining the basketball team because he felt it was like losing him, too.
Midlevens are so confident saying things that are literally 100% factually incorrect. Like tell me why I was scrolling through Pinterest and got recommended a tweet saying Mike didn't care when Will went missing and the only thing on his mind was El...like wtf??
Mike didn't care when Will went missing?? Mike "We can help look" "I'm worried about Will" "Tomorrow we go back out and this time we find Will" "No, it can't be [Will]" *slapped El* "You were supposed to help us find him alive! You said he was alive! What is wrong with you?!" *ran home after seeing Will's body and cried in his mother's arms* "You made us think he was alive, but he wasn't. He wasn't" *caressed Will's drawings* *ran to answer the walkie when he heard Will singing* *stayed up and waited for Will to wake up* *ran and threw himself onto Will in the hospital* Wheeler?? THAT Mike Wheeler didn't care when Will went missing??
Do Milkduds even hear themselves at this point like what the fuck are you even talking about??
we often talk about mischaracterisation of mike but did you know i once saw someone say that he'd want to be a cop when he grows up. you can't beat that one i think
