I Love The Enthusiasm, But Mike Was Canonically Specifically Styled To Look Like Eddie Per The Stylists

i love the enthusiasm, but mike was canonically specifically styled to look like eddie per the stylists who work on ST, not to mention them both being party leaders and dms. mike admired eddie and looked up to him. meanwhile gareth has the light brown bowl cut like will, and he doesn’t take the dm role up, much like will rarely takes up the dm mantle in the boys’ party.

and I love your enthusiasm anon. It got me in a thinking mode.

Since you seem to like the Mike-Eddie parallel so much, let me give you a better nugget : Eddie plays the guitar and Mike has the guitar.

you are suggesting HAIR, DM, Mike's admiration for Eddie makes for a better case for eddie and mike parallel. so let me address them one by one. reasons why i don't agree with it:

Hair theory. Let's just say, hair is the dealbreaker. The scene where Chrissy is unable to remember Eddie as he used to have short hair. So his hair theory is inconclusive.

I Love The Enthusiasm, But Mike Was Canonically Specifically Styled To Look Like Eddie Per The Stylists

Also, I am sorry but I never came across such a specific mention by the creators about Eddie and Mike being canonically similar. Not even Stylist, I looked it up and I didn't find anything. This is from the official stylist and she doesn't mention the eddie and mike connection: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iI3j673h0GE&t=37s

2. Mike as DM. Let me remind you of s3 which specifically showed Will as the DM. Him and eddie take their d&d way more seriously than any other party member. reflected in their over the top d&d setup and prep for it. (Will must've broken his back, the whole season 3 he was only setting up the damn game) Mike on the other hand is easily distracted by phone calls and Letters(el suggests will may have replaced him and even after they win at eddie's satanic campaign he seems distraught). His commitment is more towards Will than the game itself. so i don't see him and eddie on same plane there. not questioning mike's proficiency though.

3. Mike admiration for Eddie and looking up to him: Just think about it this way. Mike is shown to have a tiny crush on Eddie.

I don't know why they would choose to show this, unless he is a narcissist who likes himself or people like him or maybe simply because Eddie is nothing but another version of Will.

If you recall Will and Eddie have been aligned together since S4 aired, see the old posts of 2022 and I pinned this parallel because I knew some would argue.

Will & Eddie parallelism

focus on Nuances: in the context of d&d. (Bear with me)

Authoritative mannerism of eddie and will.

Eddie: "it's the championship game?" "Can i level with you"?

Will: “is it? is it early Michael?”

2. Will and Eddie’s speech: Words of encouragement to become heroes.

3. Mike's Act of Pacification : its a rarity to see Will pissed. Angry Will also overpowers Mike within fragments of seconds

During their fight Mike was defensive and right after will left He went out of the way to fix things. He does not enjoy angry will. Apologises to will and goes out to find sub for eddie.

4. Missing Member: Eddie and Will are both pissed about a missing member. And lash out at mike for ruining the party.

5. The Erica connection: s3 shows dustin and lucas giving Will's D&D to Erica. and right after that s4 she joins the hellfire where eddie is the DM. its a little telling.

Thank you to @curiousbadger for kickstarting to memory of this au of @stan-the-cinnamon-roll-uris’s au outlined in Part 1 of this post where Eddie ends up a cat with Patty and Stanley ends up an owl and in Richie’s care and eventually coming back together. Enjoy some grumpy owl Stanley

Also you can best believe the losers are rallying around their comedian friend who has recently acquired an owl from somewhere presumably and is now allowing the bird to take creative liberties in his comedy writing

the funniest thing about the tumblr FYP algorithm is how unsophisticated it is. i'm so used to the tiktik algorithm that is so fine-tuned and subtle it can be a little spooky sometimes that i'm somehow delighted by the tumblr algorithm in that it feels like an overenthusiastic dog that's half trained and doesn't quite understand what you're asking of it.

yesterday I went into my FYP and reblogged one (1) Astarion image so my fyp has been 99% Astarion for 24 hours but ten minutes ago I added Witcher fanart to my queue and now it's like (wags tail) oh??? Witcher fanart??? let me show you all my witcher fanart : ) !!! I have so much of it!!! let me put everything else in a hole. don't need that anymore. witcher fanart!!!!! : ) : ) : ) <3 <3

Brucie Wayne accidentally killing the joker

This happens before Red Hood is revealed as Jason, but after he shows up. Bruce is at a gala and has been very stressed lately, which is why he was so caught off guard with the Joker arriving. A big thing about today? It’s Jason’s adoption day anniversary. Bruce is barely clinging to being good.

However, Joker has a new laughing gas that he thought would make everyone fall into a catatonic state of laughter, striking a blow against all of Gotham’s elite.

That’s what he thought it would do.

Instead, it lowered inhibitions and increased their emotions. It also reduced their ability to think things through. Doing this to Bruce, who is stressed with Red Hood making moves and Justice League stuff getting more stressful and it being the anniversary of the day he could finally welcome his beautiful boy into the family, only to be face to face with the reason he lost his kid?

It only takes one comment about the old Robin for Bruce to go feral.

He isn’t thinking things through, isn’t focused on how hard he is hitting things, or where they are moving until he’s on a balcony with the Joker, and he’s distantly aware he’s been screaming about the clown having done enough-

Everyone watches, spellbound, as Brucie Wayne, under the influence of this new gas, pitches both the Joker and himself off the balcony, twenty stories above the ground.

Red Hood catches Brucie Wayne.

No one catches the Joker.

The morning papers scream about how the Joker died from Gotham’s prince being drugged, and how the city’s new crime lord kidnapped Brucie before he could die.

Everyone in Gotham is in disarray.

Dick is panicking after seeing the headline. (He was in Bludhaven.)

Tim is cursing himself. (He was home sick with the flu.)

Jason is struggling with his emotions.

Alfred is loading his shot gun.
