overthinking all by yourself, handsome?

not to project too hard onto a fictional character but at what point did it just become so standard for John to get high grades in academics that his family stopped acknowledging it because that was the norm

Welcome to my Give Mike a Sword Agenda

I know the theory that there might be a dragon in season 5 has been circulating around because of the red dragon in Will’s painting maybe connecting to Borys, and I LOVE THAT THEORY SO MUCH. But I actually wanted to bring up how cool it would be if Mike got a sword at some point. I was listening to Mike’s Bassment Beats playlist on Spotify and there’s a song on there called In the Face of Evil by Magic Sword.

So, I was thinking, Mike should get a sword. I know this is kind of insane to even suggest because this is the boy who thought using an actual bell was a good idea for a weapon (😭), but I think it’d be neat if S5 kind of went more heavy handed on the Dungeons and Dragons imagery and started bringing in elements of The Party’s D&D characters to their lives because this is the end of the show!!! It should be spectacular!!

And not to suddenly throw in religious imagery but Mike with a sword wouldn’t exactly be unprecedented because of the archangel Michael and his sword. And based off Britannica’s information about Michael:

I find two elements interesting from this quote: the dragon and the apocalypse. I mean, we know for sure season 5 is going to involve the apocalypse and I’d love, love, LOVE it if a dragon somehow came involved. So, I think that in terms of hints and stuff, it would be very satisfying, story-wise, to give Mike a sword. Also, Brittanica describes how Michael is depicted as a great leader and “great captain” and who else was described as the one who leads the party? Mike. 

And considering that Hawkins had just undergone a Satanic Panic, I don’t think it’s too far fetched to bring up this kind of imagery. And idk how to explain this but something something about the fight against true evil and the evil not being Hellfire Club but actual, literal evil (the upside down, Vecna). Also, if this revelation is made to the public at large it could have a chance at clearing up Eddie’s name. Honestly, I think it’s about time everyone in Hawkins was aware of the alien alt-dimension that’s been under their feet all this time. 

Back to the Magic Sword song, I think it’s neat that In the Face of Evil is a song in his playlist. I mean, it’s called In the Face of Evil… Face of Evil… and who’s literal face was revealed in season 4 to be the face of all the evil that’s been plaguing them?? That’s right, Vecna/One/Henry. So, I think this song can also be referring to whatever might happen in S5. And if there’s a big battle (which I’m almost 100% there will be) then I want Mike to get a sword. I can imagine him getting one from Mr. Clarke just because I think it’d be nice if The Party’s old science teacher made a reappearance and I can totally imagine him having a whole stash of custom made swords/weapons from the ren-faire or something similar.

Also, it doesn’t even have to be a real sword. It can be symbolic of one! My Byler heart is trying to figure out a way to get Will to be the one who gives him the sword. I can see them trying to make one but I honestly don’t see everyone having too much time to prepare b4 Vecna strikes again. Anyway, it would also be nice if Will was the one who handed him his sword not just because I think it would be romantic, but also because of their cleric/paladin/mage dynamic. (And the sword is magic because it’s made with love 💖hdkdjd). But I also think it’d be funny/cute if Mr. Clarke shows the Party all his weapons in his garage and is like “have at them,” and they’re all looking through them and Will selects the sword and gives it to Mike (and Will is thinking wow I can see my painting irl) and Mike takes the sword and can barely hold it. I just think it has the potential for some comedy. 

Anyway, I saw a post a while back about Mike recreating the heart shield on Will’s painting which I thought was rly cool, and so if he has a sword that would pair very well with the shield!

As much as I think all of this would be really cool, I don’t think Mike would actually be able to use a sword. I think it’d be too heavy for him to swing around or he just wouldn’t know how to use it period. In any case, the In the Face of Evil inspired me with this idea and I just wanted to share it. 

*As for Will, Dustin and Lucas, I think Will should get something symbolic of his Dagger of Truth (he doodled this all over Will’s Secret Files. I might make a separate post about it idk), and idk enough about Dustin and Lucas’s D&D characters to speculate what they would get. So, if anybody has any ideas about that I’d love to hear :)

You want to be tied up by the old dudes, that's my specific take

Is Lottie married??

If so why isn’t it on your family tree and does she have any other titles other than Princess if Monaca

She is 😭😭😭 and her only title is Princess of Monaca! And Thomas will be on the tree when I add all the spouses and children ❤

It's actually better to suck ass at a game bc that feeling of euphoria u get when you've been trying to get past an obstacle for like 15 minutes and then u FINALLY make it through is unparalleled

Be honest, does the onceler give you gender energy

SHUT UP

"Don't just throw ripped jeans away, you can repair them using these 10 cute Visible Mending techniques!!" unfortunately my friend the first point of failure for every single pair of jeans i have owned in my life has been the Crotch and Ass. Knees: fine, cuffs: fine; but 3 years in, and all that stands between the world and my astronaut-patterned taint is 0.5µm of denim worn so thin that every squat threatens to tear it to shreds like wet toilet paper. If the Tiktok craft community could figure out a way to resurrect jeans afflicted in such a way that doesn't involve adding a whole ass buttpatch like some sort of inverse assless chaps situation then that'd be great

call me a jealous hater but it makes me so mad that i will never ever be able to sleep as comfortably as a little kitty cat, there's too many bones in me!! even at my most comfy i will never get on their level
