do you have any enby mike wheeler headcanons? asking for a friend
your friend is very nice! please tell him he's one of my favorite mutuals if you see him! <3
and i have SO MANY enby mike headcanons omg- btw they're still in the 80s here.
obviously the first one is that he HATES the name "michael". he hates hearing it and writing it and always asks for people to call him just mike. he doesn't have any issues with the party, but it's hard being at home because karen always uses his deadname.
he comes out to, surprisingly, max first. because she's also enby (she isn't actually like openly enby, she just is) and won't stop complaining about her name and clothes and the way she hates people seeing her as a girl. mike would probably hear that and say "but you... are a girl..." and then max would respond with "i can be whatever the fuck i want. no one should tell us how to feel about ourselves". and there's a long, long silence until mike says "i think i'm not a boy, either". and max understands.
he borrows clothes from nancy. not too feminine stuff yet, because he doesn't want to stand out much, but he likes stuff like her shirts and pants and coats. she doesn't find out until one day where she catches him trying on one of her dresses. and mike is scared and tries to lie about it, but ends up confessing that he doesn't know who he truly is. nancy helps him with his makeover and supports him <3
mike actually ends up not liking too much feminine stuff. it makes him feel like a girl, and he isn't a girl. but he also doesn't want people to think he's a boy, because he isn't one either. so he mixes shirts and clothes to be more androgynous. but none of that helps because, what he truly wants is for people to see him as just... mike. and not a boy.
he doesn't care about clothes much, but having long hair helps him. he doesn't look like a girl but he doesn't look like a boy either. it's perfect.
he ends up coming out one day to the party in one of their sleepovers. they are playing dnd (max and el included) and he, besides being the dm, is also playing as the paladin (which is truly hard bc he's doing two things at once and dms don't really do that but idk make it a npc or something it's just a hc). and he tells the party that mike the paladin is, indeed, not a boy. or a girl. and he looks at his friends, begging for them to understand what he means. they're all in silence at first, but then dustin keeps playing as if nothing happened and the others follow. will smiles at him from the other side of the table.
when he starts dating will, mike is scared of will leaving him for being like this. which is a dumb thought, and he knows that. but he can't help but to stop wearing nancy's stuff or talking about his struggles because he just... wants to ignore it in case will won't like him anymore. when will asks, mike tells him the truth and will comforts him and tells him that, no matter what, he will always love him. he's his partner, and will loves that about him.
on dysphoric days he pretends to be sick to not go to school, and always calls will because he doesn't want him to worry. will always goes to his house after class to spend time with him and tries to distract him.
dustin always corrects everyone (even parents) who refers to the party as "guys" with "party". he says it's because he wants to include both max and el, but mike knows he does that for him.
when they play videogames and lucas is the one choosing, he always chooses a game that doesn't make you choose gendered characters. he knows mike has a hard time with that.
will holds his hand in class without other people noticing (i still can't get over the fact that they seat next to each other- robin move on it's been years since s2-) every time mr.clarke says his name.
max and him bond over that! they start hanging out to complain about their struggles being enby and they end up actually not hating each other! they enjoy their time together, tbh. and mike always says "max" is way cooler than "maxine".
dustin comes up with the idea of using they/them for max and mike, and they love it! mike ends up using all pronouns (mostly they/them, tho) and max asks for the party to use he/they!
i love the idea of karen actually noticing mike hates being called michael, so she starts calling him just mike. she also notices the way he now dresses (he only gets to do it at home or hanging out with the party- although it isn't very feminine either but- y'know- he doesn't want to get bullied in school) and says nothing about it. she just smiles, and mike feels so so loved.
will always avoids gendered pet-names and names for mike!
i could keep going but this is long enough i think!!! thanks for the ask <3 yours are always the best ones!

A lot of fans said he’s better looking and taller in person, is it true? Also what was his perfume like?
Okay Lando is definitely a bit taller in person. Maybe I'm just short (I know I am), but like he just seems taller irl than he does on the screen bc I've seen him a bajillion times but when he was right there in front of me, I was like "holy shit why is he this tall???" It's not that he's super tall, it's just that I didn't expect him to be that tall. He had to fucking bend down to sign my shirt, which was like, yeah okay I really am too short.
As for the better looking part, I mean he always looks good so idk what to say to that. Imo he looks pretty much the same irl as on screen (amazing). And his scent, I don't really think he had any cologne or perfume on? Maybe there were just too many people around me, but I didn't really smell anything on him, so I guess the answer is just clean lol
But he was like super patient too despite all of us there, like I know he didn't get to everyone (he couldn't with how many people there), but he went kinda slow down the group, so most people in the first or second row had a good shot of getting something signed or getting a picture, which was so nice of him.
Someone actually brought stroopwafles though 😭 when he first came out, he was talking with his engineers, but someone shouted "LANDO WE HAVE STROOPWAFLES" and THEN he looked up and started grinning 😂 and he went to that person's side of the line first LMFAO
