let’s talk about
michael’s airport outfit
Tumblr media
and how different it is from the rest of his clothes
Tumblr media
as we all know, the people involved in making this show go above and beyond to make everything mean something. almost nothing is a coincidence. you can see it from the way some characters talk and react, to the way they’re placed in a scene, maybe from a small detail in the background, or the music that’s playing during, but most importantly: through their clothing
for the most part, mike’s style has always been the same, collared shirts and jeans, maybe shorts (which he only ever wears on season 3 and on his first day in lenora in season 4)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the airport outfit is just so out of character, and i don’t think it’s a coincidence
when argyle first meets mike he checks out his shirt and calls it a “shitty knockoff” and while they’re making it up to seem as if he’s talking about the brand, he’s talking about mike
Tumblr media
how airport mike is the shitty knockoff of hawkins mike, real mike
mike is pretending to be someone he is not
Tumblr media Tumblr media
he’s trying to please el, dressing how he thinks she’d like, trying to prove that he likes her (despite the fact that no one doubts this), trying to convince himself that he likes her
this weird, knockoff version of mike wouldn’t even hug his best friend after 6 months (give or take) of not seeing him, i wonder why?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
6 months really is a long time to reflect about your feelings and come to new realizations
Tumblr media
this outfit, this attitude, they’re a representation of mike trying to hide who he really is, how he really feels. it’s him trying to be someone he is not to please other people but also to erase himself, to try to change who he is because he doesn’t accept himself

Michael, the world’s ending. Now is not the time to gay panic over your arm touching your bestie’s arm.

Give me heterosexual reasoning for why Mike Wheeler wants to be "normal" in season 4 (according to Finn Wolfhard himself). He didn't want that lifestyle in Hawkins, but now that he is in front of his "platonic best pal" in California, he becomes a fabricated, more "normal" version of himself. What are you hiding? I know what you are Michael Wheeler.

Oh, I think Michael "I'm the only one who cares about Will" [pulls out a binder full of Will's drawings and gently caresses them] [recognizes Will's voice from a 0.01 second staticky sound on the radio] [resting his head on Will's chest] "He was quiet today" "Where's Will?" [hand hold] "It was the best thing I've ever done" [single tear rolling down his cheek] [lip glances] [bikes to Will in the pouring rain to apologize] [softest smile in existence] "I feel like I lost you bc I was too focused on El" [triple take] [in awe of the painting he originally thought was from Will] [more lip glances] [glued to Will's side] [pocket over his heart only pointing to Will] Wheeler knows what he is. He's just oblivious to what Will is.

I don’t understand how someone can watch a season where one character’s main storyline (of that season) is accepting his homosexuality and love for his best friend, and in that same fucking season another character, the best friend he’s in love with too, has a main storyline of not being able to say he loves his girlfriend, and say that there will be nothing going on there. That is so suspicious, even if you don’t consider Mike’s queer coding, and even if you consider the monologue his genuine thoughts and “love redemption” of the season, the fact that that’s his storyline in the same season where we really see Will’s love for him is INSANE. Something is going on next season, that’s for sure.

Will: Ugh, crushes are so dumb. Mike: I know. Whenever I’m near the person I like I just start acting stupid. Will: But you’re always acting stupid? Mike: ... Mike: Yeah, don’t think about that too hard.

Will: I-
Mike: Yes, absolutely. That was so smart. Everything you say is correct, there is never an exception. I completely agree.

Mike Wheeler doesn’t like when his girlfriend is physically affectionate with him in a romantic way, and I have proof:
