Shit ass writing indeed way to many plot holes
Still holding onto #conformitygate its the only theory that can fix everything

the duffers may have taken a sniper rifle and assassinated almost every character in this show but my man lucas wept when max opened her eyes, held her like he would never let her go, and was the first of will's friends to speak up and stand by will after he came out. if no one got me i KNOW lucas sinclair got me
“omg now mike wheeler will never come out of the closet and be miserable for the rest of his life” he is eighteen years old, and last time we see him he’s exchanging charged looks with his bestie, going “pov i bite your neck” and then leaving to go eat lasagna with him. guys i think he’ll be alright actually
upd: this is NOT me saying the ending is good and you should enjoy it btw!! i hate what they did!!! but i wanted to plant some positivity among 172663 mike wheeler good luck babe posts. it’s literally not over for him. it’s not.
2000's byler. dirty little secret by the all-american rejects. rodrick heffley x regina george type dynamic. mike as rodrick, will as regina. mike with chipped black nail polish, piercings, weezer and dare i say ptv enthusiast. will with colorful converse, right ear pierced, and an actual all-american rejects listener. mike who is in a band. will who is a party goer. mike who is a literature student and will who is an art student.
mike and his band perform at a party will was at. he cant take his eyes off of will, and will cant take his eyes off mike either. they meet after the band is done and have like a drink or two. they hadn't realized they went to the same college. truth is, mike only applied there because he knew it was will's dream college, and he had hoped will would be there.
they start walking to class and meeting up very very often. will is roommates with chance (sorry), and mike hates it. but instead of chance and will being together, chance wants will really badly. will had never considered feelings towards chance that way. mike and will do end up in a sort of secret relationship. kind of like its private with the occasional "you guys are dating? i never knew" "yeah, because we just didnt feel the need to tell anyone."
chance ends up walking in on them hanging out in the dorm room. mike brought his guitar, and will is drawing. mike eventually leaves because he hates that chance is there. mike says smth like bye sweet girl see you tomorrow and chance freaks out after mike leaves. he starts getting really possessive or wtv and will flees that room lol
OR.. MAYBE MIKE AND CHANCE ARE ROOMMATES AND WILL IS THE ONE WHO COMES OVER AND CHANCE GETD MAD AFTER FINDING OUT THEYRE DATING AND TRIED TO FIGHT MIKE okay okay rhqts enough.
also theyd totally make out to change your mind by the all-american rejects.
SOMEONE ANYONE OLEASE. SHOULD I WRITE THIS AS A DOC QUESTION MARK.. OR IS THERE ANY SUGGESTIONS TO ADD OR TAKE AWAY.... also i got some ideas from alot of posts saying mike would be in a band
