@sincla1r3 do these ppl even know anything about actual queerness outside of their mike headcanons bc even in 2026, gay people would be surprised at their straight bestie that they had an unreciprocated crush on coming out, out of nowhere. no one is THAT invested in other ppl's sexualities
never understood why people made mike react to will being surprised about him being queer too in fics with either defensiveness or nonchalantness, like "you thought you were the only gay in the world? i couldn't be gay too?🙄" as if he wouldn't understand where will's coming from
@wheelbybyers oomf made me read one once and i've actually been holding a grudge since. mike would only be a gaslighter if he was actually oblivious to his sexuality, he wouldn't act like will should've "seen his gayness coming" or something😭😭
and i know mike as a fictional character doesn't need to always behave morally perfectly– i'm not implying that a flaw on his part means a writer excuses it, i am however saying that this behavior would make him stupid, uncharacteristically mean spirited and self centered because
the implication. so why on earth would he act bitchy about the fact that will thought he was straight?? he would obviously be sympathetic, and excited to relate to will more and openly, not act like will reconsidering their dynamic now is "close minded". will didn't owe his
@ukebyers and acting like YOU'RE the crazy one for not considering noah's muscle gain one year after the show as canon accurate for will?? like if david went on ozempic rn would we be required to act like hopper was meant to be a skinny character i don't get it
sometimes being in this fandom means watching a tweet about will's coming out scene being secretly all about mike's pain and isolation and how sad it is will got to come out without him get 1k likes and just sort of having to grit your teeth about it for the sake of peace
