Hobie can and will carry his friends around when they’re walking slow as hell/getting distracted and he really doesn’t feel like being patient. Gwen in one arm and Miles in the other with Pavitr standing horizontal on his back, Hobie has places to be and he isn’t letting them stop him. He’s hardly ever on time to anything, so the things he wants to be on time for are very important to him.
switching from schoolwork to tumblr is so scary bc wait let's make sure i actually closed my group presentation before writing about old man dick in google docs just in case i'm somehow typing on both
this shot always gets me. it’s not even the action of mike putting his hand on will’s that gets me though. it’s the decision they made to ZOOM IN on their hands,,,,, to frame the action as romantic,,,,
it wouldn’t really be unusual for dustin or lucas to comfort will in the same way, but it would definitely be unusual if they zoomed in on it, because that has implications and people would be asking questions.
i think it’s really clever how mike and will’s relationship was always shown to be different than any other two in the party, because it makes the GA not think twice about a shot like this, and they can sprinkle in scenes that would otherwise be universally recognized as romantic without anyone getting too suspicious.
this is a perfect way for them to do a “actually, byler’s been there the whole time” grand reveal that smacks everyone in the face. they secured themselves a “that’s just how mike and will are” excuse that’ll serve them all the way until byler endgame.
