not to be too real but since we're talking about it... we always talk about will feeling lonely which is fair, but... it is such an Ugly, isolating, and genuinely heart-wrenching feeling to be the odd one out in your family, and to watch them treat others who aren't related to you the way you wish they would treat you, to watch them perform their familial roles with them and not you.

nancy's the only person in his family that mike could talk to, the only person that has the same trauma and would understand, and yet... he can't. they don't ever talk unless it's to be snippy and bite. nancy spends more time caring about max and will than she does mike, her own little brother.

holly is too young for him to bond with like that. she's just barely a kid, one that still needs to be cared for.

his mom tries her best, but he doesn't feel comfortable being vulnerable with her. considering the fact that she did everything "right" according to society's standards and married their dad of all people, i doubt he feels comfortable showing her who he really is. he lets her hug him when he's at his lowest, but we don't see them actually connecting.

his dad is just some ghost that haunts his house. he doesn't care about mike or think highly of him at all. the only times we've seen him pay mike any attention are when he belittles his interests, mocks him, punishes him, or shuts him down by telling him to listen to his mother. the only support he gets from him is financial in nature.

meanwhile, everyone else has a family they can turn to. dustin, despite lying to his mother to keep her out of his shenanigans, seems to have a decent relationship with her. even if he doesn't, he still has steve and robin. lucas is shown to have a healthy relationship with his parents and erica. will and el have their family.

max's situation is different, but she has the backing of the party; people that love her and actively try to help her and pull her back into the world of the living. she isn't thrust into a leadership role that doesn't allow for vulnerability. she has nancy who is willing to fight monsters for her, el who literally performed a miracle for her, and lucas who has stood by her since the beginning.

and mike... well. he has will back now, sure, but... things have been different between them for a long time now, even if they're both trying their best to be how they were before. and before then, will obviously was in california, not returning his calls or reaching out, making mike feel like he'd lost him for good.

so... all that being said, it's not that surprising that mike is the way he is: riddled with abandonment issues, wanting to be needed, immediately apologizing whenever he dares to open up, inclined to give others the protection and comfort no one's ever given him, prone to jealousy and possessiveness, unable to be completely and wholly honest about what troubles him, not exactly the most open to new people, and someone with appallingly low self-esteem.

you know how they say people that are drowning don't always look like they're drowning? that's mike.

Hey I'm a but late, but related to your tags on the reblog about Taika.

It's absolutely people wanting to "put him in his place". He's a successful POC who takes pride in his work and that makes them FURIOUS. how dare he not grovel to be respected by them??

never too late, time isn’t real on tumblr dot com

this reminds me of how men don’t think women are funny bc they think they must either be stupid or wildly self centered. like if a woman makes a joke like “i could’ve made citizen kane but better, this filmmaking shit is easy” some men won’t realize she’s kidding

and i feel like when taika’s like “im brilliant at everything i do, obviously” they don’t realize that it’s partially tongue in cheek. which is kind of funny bc like. he IS a great director and a phenomenal actor and storyteller. i don’t think he actually thinks of himself as god’s gift to earth. but he also has every right to be proud of his work bc he’s REALLY FUCKING GOOD AT IT

so people see this guy being really good at what he does and having the audacity to acknowledge that and they get sooooo mad. bc we’re not supposed to know we’re good at shit. we always have to be Really Smart — For a Black Person. or Really Funny - For a Woman

and i think sometimes people don’t realize they’re falling for the bullshit racists come up with to make us hate ourselves. most racism is dumb as shit, but it also has the advantage of appealing to our basest desires and fears. i think it’s super important to double check when you see hate directed towards a marginalized person. maybe that person DOES suck. but isn’t it better to make sure anyway?

Deacon loves two things: Ymber and digging himself a grave.

Angry mikey so underrated tbh

fr. his anger was literally the biggest emotion he had on the trip to mikeys mind episode. and it seemed that it was pent up anger too, meaning he bottles that up probably because he doesn't let himself actually feel that anger.

All that bottled up anger would have definitely exploded sooner or later tho (more later than sooner tbh)

it would have been interesting to see. Maybe it would have shown more after all the shit they went through and when they were having a somewhat of a peaceful life

Mikey and his anger issues is honestly a very underrated fact but one that is very much possible to have escalated as they grew older.

The absolute funniest possible outcome for Sam's evil arc being him legitimately thinking Supe supremacy is a good idea, and says as much to Emma, only to see her give him the saddest most disappointed look he's ever seen in his life and immediately changes his mind

I’ve seen a lot of really dumb performative virtue signaling in fandom but in the MDZS fandom in particular I still think about when that one batch of redesigns was everywhere for a couple weeks, and the artist 1) drew the characters looking basically identical to their The Untamed actors and 2) repeatedly explained that they had drawn Jin Zixuan with blonde hair because of a personal headcanon that the Jin artificially bleach their hair to be gold

and yet somehow there will still Multiple Posts floating through the main tag vagueing about how OP was an anti-Asian racist who had white washed Jin Zixuan and should be doxxed and canceled.

Loving the vibe of Izzy and Stede... I won't say their necessarily getting along quite yet, I don't want to jinx it, but like... they're getting along and it's fucking great.

the way he actually tries and help Stede out, in his own way (which is aggressive but very real and upfront, and it clearly shapes Stede), he helps him with the crew and the curse, gives him that little 👌 when he manages to scare the guy with the wanting shot, he stands behind him with the rest of the crew, showing his support of the new captain.

I think he genuinely gives a shit, if even a little one for Stede, and a massive one (though he'll never admit it unless his hand is forced, which I see coming in the near future) for the crew, and isn't just acting like a good dog/right hand. like I think he's genuinely healing, in the best way? absolutely not, but, it's definitely something and I love that for him.

also, him and Lucius getting along, in there own fucked up way, and Izzy giving him the shark and the advice, it's great. (loving the nickname twatty, it's killing me)

i don't know if this has been said already but ethan landry is SO "friends to lovers" coded

"Though I don't know exactly what you are or what you're up to... My bullets will find you — until then, you best find a casket store in Penacony, and ask the owner to reserve a good quality casket for you, imposter!"

Hardly could get more Western film than this

Marinko is a borderline necrophile and Ari is part of a weird life and death obsessed cult im just saying liiiiiiiiike,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

first of all for legal and moral reasons marinko wants to say that he's not even 'dignifying that accusation with an answer' (which, you know. may not be the best defense against said accusation).

secondly i think they should make each other worse & explore each other's bodies (internally as well as externally).

Eve: Bottling up negative emotions is bad for your health, so you shouldn't do it.

Seto: I know, that's why I bottle up all my emotions, both positive and negative, so it cancels out.

Eve: Th-that's not how that works-

Actually, the two are pretty open with each other.
