The Thing Is, If Mike Had Said In Any Other Context ‘My Life Started November 7th 1983’ It Would

reading the goldfinch isn't enough I need to become an alcoholic

nothing can ever hurt me more than

“See Micheal? See what happens?”

“What happens when what?”

“I’m the only one that’s acting normal here, I’m the only one that cares about Will”

moved in with lesbians and thayre making me watch mha

they are so mean to the green haired boy

i want to get all might pregnant

my brain ping-ponging between MHA and ST like a dog whose pet owner fakes out throws when playing fetch

Robin’s not the one that introduces the kids to an actual queer community. It’s not Eddie or Jonathan either.

It’s Steve casually saying he was going to a concert in Indianapolis over the weekend and the kids demanding to know what band and if they could come.

Only for the band NOT to be some cookie cutter Tears for Fears wannabe. But it’s instead a small punk band full of very outwardly queer individuals who put on exaggerated costumes and characters for the show and are raising money for charity.

Will stares in awe.

Lucas is a little lost but he has the spirit.

Dustin cries at one of the songs/monologues.

Mike avoids eye contact with anyone.

And the lead singer flirts with Steve a little too long, singing directly in his face.

is this about my oc’s and their band? Well yes.

Robin fully thinks that Dustin is a dog that was sent to obedience school and not a human child that went to summer camp because Steve talks about him like:

Steve, sighing wistfully: I just miss the little guy, you know?

Robin: ?

Steve, right after servicing ice cream to a guy: That’s my mailman. Dustin fuckin’ hates that guy. Goes crazy when he sees him.

Steve: *does not elaborate on Dustin’s long standing feud with the postal service*

Steve: My parents are actually kinda happy that’s he’s gone. They think he’s loud.

Robin, thinking of her neighbor’s dog: Yeah, they’re like that.

Steve: And the jumping, they hate that.

Steve: - bunch of chocolate. Got an upset stomach and threw up.

Robin: They can’t have chocolate.

Steve: Yeah, I know. He’ll throw up!

Steve: Dustin’s coming back next week. I think I’m going to get him a welcome back gift. Got any ideas?

Robin: Something that squeaks?

Boy, walking up to the counter: Hi

Robin: Hi

Boy: I’m Dustin

Robin, internally: *no one can ever know any of my thoughts ever*

If Mike's love confession was supposed to be a big romantic moment, he would have said it not knowing it would help but it would have been received as empowering her powers.

Instead, he said it knowing it would help, completely undercutting his motivations.

The entire trope that scene is referencing is "you can't die without knowing how much I love you". But that isn't what this was. They made sure to write this to me "I love you, will that help convince you not to die?" which is an entirely different thing.

Mike would have told her of his own volition simply because he was losing her, but because of specifically what Will said in his encouragement, referencing a conversation about how Mike "gives her the courage to fight on", we know that he was motivated to do it by the fact that it would help her fight harder, not out of pure intention for her to at worst, die knowing.

I’ve spent months, maybe even a year with the same two characters cycling through different fandoms and I want them to exist so badddd but I’ll never be able to commit to just ONE storyline when they can be a million different things all at once, without even having to do the work of drawing/writing

so embarrassing to get obsessed with your own oc but it doesn't fuel you creatively or motivate you at all you just sort of sit there. like yeah I've been thinking a lot about blorbo from my mind. no images of them exist in the world and they have maybe 3 personality traits so far. I would rather die than attempt to write about them. I've spent the last 48 hours rotating them in my brain though

Quirkless Natsuo SAVE ME

Oh nothing, I’m just thinking about the fact that Mike Wheeler jumped into the quarry to protect Dustin only to find out a couple days later that his best friend’s corpse was in that water. I wonder if he thought about that after they pulled the fake body out of the water. If things were different they’d both had been at the bottom of the quarry, or they would have found Will’s body faster because they’d be looking for Mike’s.

“crazy together” more like dead together 😭
