Mike is saying some absolute bullshit in Will’s ear right now but we all know he loves it !!!
How it feels to still be a byler after how January started
Did it 👍 (eventually)
someone probably did this before but whatever
(suicide joke warning)
whole house gay
mike cannot say "i love you" to el, even when she is breaking down crying, begging him to just say it.
he can say "i love you" to el after being encouraged by will's speech to him in the van. will's speech to him about will's romantic feeling for him.
mike cannot say "i love you" in response to el's feelings, he can say "i love you" in response to will's feelings.
mike can only say the words when inspired by will's love for him -> mike feels loved the way he wants to be by will's feelings for him -> mike is in love with will's feelings for him -> mike is in love with will. and he doesn't even know it. canonically.
that's why they didn't address the painting.
its kind of insane how, if you want to start rewriting season 5, you also have to deal with the shitty writing decisions made in season 4, and so you might as well rewrite season 4, but then you have to contend with the decisions in season 3, so you MIGHT AS WELL REWRITE SEASON3- and and fuck it maybe the entire show
I really wish Eddie got to meet El. I feel like he would have really helped her. Both were forced to have buzzcuts and both felt like they never belonged. Just imagine him offering to cover her tattoo with something else. He would be the best big brother for her.
