D&D and I love you's
The love language between Mike and Will is D&D. The love language between Mike and El is just... "I love you."
I made this post last week about the importance of the words "I love you" for El and Mike vs the importance of actions for Will and Mike, and it got me thinking about the ways that Mike uses these love languages, the expectations El and Will have of Mike, what they ask him for, and how he delivers.
This comment by @a-place-on-cordelia-street especially inspired me, thank you!!!
Following the D&D plot vs the "I love you" plot, I found some interesting parallels or story beats between both of these relationships.
Will and Mike had a solid history of playing D&D throughout their relationship and Mike hypes Will up as he wins the campaign after he's rescued from the Upside Down.
Mike freely says that he loves El and doesn't want to lose her again, whether platonically or romantically. It's not pressured, he is just feeling a lot of stress about losing the people closest to him.
Later in their relationship, Will repeatedly asks to play D&D, asks Mike to revisit their strong friendship, and Mike continually shuts him down.
Mike feels pressure, mostly from himself, to say "I love you" to El again. He feels like he should say it to El's face but he can't, and El, while not pressuring him, did look anticipatory and disappointed when he doesn't say it.
Will springs a game of D&D onto Mike after Mike didn't initiate a game himself. Mike goes along with it after complaining, and makes Will feel worse by making fun of it. He gives Will what he wants on the surface level, but his heart isn't in it and that makes it even worse.
El springs an "I love you" onto Mike after he doesn't ever say those words to her. Mike pretends not to know what she's talking about, doesn't really participate in the kiss she gives him, and looks confused afterward. He goes along with what El is saying and what she wants here, not cutting in to say "I take it back actually" or "I don't feel this way romantically." This eventually makes it worse.
They both tried getting what they wanted from Mike and he refused to make it easy for either of them.
The D&D game is more paralleled to Mike's "I love you" in s4 but I'll touch on that later.
This leads to a fight in both relationships. Will calls Mike out for not being in the mood to play anymore. This rings true, as we know Mike used to love playing. Mike acts like the idea of them playing for the rest of their lives is immature, but Will says that's what he wants. The conversation ends with Will affirming that he wants to play D&D, he wants that love from Mike back.
El calls out Mike for not loving her anymore. This does not ring true, as we know he never even said it to her face and looked very conflicted when this came up last time. Mike pretends like her accusations are baseless and changes the topic. The conversation ends with El saying that she's not what he thinks she is anymore, she's not a superhero. An idea very woven into their "I love you's" in s4.
The next big talk Mike and Will have after their fight, Mike gives Will what he wants, genuinely this time. He makes that effort to say "yeah, I do still want to play, and I don't want you to move on from me." This is unprompted from Will, and comes from Mike reflecting on their fight. It ends on a high note, both boys smiling.
The next big talk Mike and El have after their fight, Mike doesn't give El what she wants. He tries to (I think? I know some people think they were coming up on a mutual break up here, but this could've been Mike trying to say I love you, and I'll go with that interpretation for this analysis) in a very similar way to how he tried to say it at the store in the "blank makes you crazy" scene in s3, but he fumbles over his words, looking incredibly nervous and negative. El can tell.
We haven't completed these stories yet so I think this arc is unfinished. But analyzing what we do have, while Mike and Will have ups and downs in s4, staying on the topic of D&D, we see Mike continue on the path to make Will happy. He gets back to playing D&D with Dustin and at school, and it's easy to see that he's in the right place to play D&D with Will again when they have the time. Will states his desire to play D&D with Mike for the rest of their lives again and Mike doesn't shoot Will down. He calls Will's D&D painting amazing. He is continuing to repair the love language that had previously been broken in s3. He is doing the work to repair that, show that to Will, and get to a place where he can accept that this, playing D&D with Will for the rest of his life, is what will make him happy.
With El, Mike also gives what was asked for. He doesn't want to, though. He has to be pushed into it by Will, his mouth scrunches up before he says it, just like it does every time he regrets doing something bad to Will (see this post), he's not happy to say it, he doesn't look relieved to finally say the words and get them off his chest. He doesn't look in love. I think the previous scene when they're talking before being interrupted by the pineapple pizza shows this: Mike didn't want to say this, or else he would've already been making steps to make his previous error in not saying it right. It wasn't an error though, Mike doesn't want to say it, and Mike finally giving in and giving El what she wants doesn't fix it.
Which is how this scene parallels back to the D&D game back in s3, rather than Mike coming to terms with loving D&D and Will in s4. This "I love you" was purely pressured out of him, not just by El but also Will. He played the game, he said the words (he basically said the whole speech about how he'd sacrifice himself for the Kalamar all over again, sarcastically high fiving Will who'd egged him on, just like Lucas had in the D&D game), and then in the epilogue, Mike is realizing that El still isn't happy, just how he realized that Will wasn't happy during that game in s3.

s5 please give us will ranting about something/having some sort of mini speech to everyone and Mike is just standing behind him, totally head empty, staring with Love in his eyes
will: “if we follow the military’s plan, we’re all as good as dead. they don’t know what One’s doing, how he’s feeling. I do.”
mike: is listening intently and is concerned about will but is also staring at him completely lovestruck as if will is the most beautiful thing he’s ever seen
(and then will starts talking about how he should go into the upside-down alone and sacrifice himself or smthn bc he’s connected to one and Mike is IMMEDIATELY kicked out of “hehe will pretty” mode and into “Mike guard dog I’m coming with you, I can’t lose you again, don’t you Dare think about going alone” mode)

will has always been the main character, y’all toxic milkvans jus’ too scared to admit it 💀💀
Whenever I see milkvans insist Will isn’t important to the story, I recall this mysterious interview with Finn saying exactly the opposite. Mysterious because I have no idea where this audio originally comes from (heard it used in an edit, but the editor didn’t respond to anyone asking about its source in the comments), but it is clearly Finn speaking and you can even hear Caleb in the background agreeing with him, confirming it is very much real… does anyone know where it’s from??? A podcast? An interview? Behind the scenes?

honestly i want a parallel for a s3 scene, but this time is mike and will who are making out and mike stops kissing him to be a clown and sing (very badly) to the song that theyre listening and will is like "😳😧🤭" and then mike realizes it and goes "oh... u dont like it right? 😕😞" and will is with the biggest softest gaze to him and says "i love it" and then he drags mike out of the bed and starts dancing around with him singing the song and doing some adlibs because he is like that ok

Imagine if Will created the Upside Down-Hawkins in 1983 when he got lost, wanted to go home, and his emotions were strong. So he also manages to dissolve said Upside Down-Hawkins when his emotions are just as strong and he’s finally found his way home.
And imagine if Outside the Realm played in the background as a callback to the crazy together scene.
