If Mike's Love Confession Was Supposed To Be A Big Romantic Moment, He Would Have Said It Not Knowing

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

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 😭

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.

Born Sexy Yesterday and Milkvan

Milkvan is specifically mentioned on the "born sexy yesterday" wiki as an example of the harmful trope:

Born Sexy Yesterday And Milkvan

why is that? well using the wiki as a guide....

"A central element of this trope is the female character's ignorance, which allows the male protagonist to adopt a teacher-like role, guiding her in social norms and romantic interactions."

"He instructs her on socially acceptable behavior and guides her in romance and sex, despite lacking any qualifications beyond being the first person she becomes close to, leading her to idolize and fall in love with him."

"This dynamic, frequently described as "mansplaining," stems from deep-seated male insecurities about sex and relationships."

"Meanwhile, the female character, characterized by her naivety, falls for him simply because he exhibits basic human behavior, which she lacks."

"Despite their innocence, these characters often excel in areas like combat or intellect, appealing to heterosexual male audiences."

"While these characters often serve as heroines, their portrayal perpetuates harmful stereotypes about female innocence and male dominance. McIntosh's video highlights the prevalence of the trope in various films, exposing its underlying sexism and paedophilic implications."

"McIntosh argues that the Born Sexy Yesterday trope reveals deep male insecurities regarding sex and relationships, reflecting a desire to control female identities and a fear of female agency."
