Mike “my Boyfriend Is Mad At Me I Hope I Die” Wheeler And Will “omg You’re So Dramatic” Byers

mike making dustin feel better, saying he has superpowers,

mike defending el when they called her weird, praising her like a superhero

mike calling will a super spy and empowering him

all while he's only felt like a nobody that's not needed in anyone's life

that painting meant way more than will could ever imagine

*rocking back and forth as I look into mirror* it's not embarrassing to like things it's not embarrassing to like things it's not embarrassing to like things it's not embarrassing to like things it's not embarrassing to like things it's not embarrassing to like things it's not embarrassing to like things

I need y'all to listen to me possessed Will choking Mike to death and Mike tapping out "I love you" in Morse code on his wrist because he can't talk but he can't die without at least some part of Will knowing

An absence so heavy it becomes a presence

oh boy i wish someone would notice my cries for help! [someone actually notices] noooo i'm fine don't worry about me

I love thinking about the goldfinch's religious symbolism

Theo's name meaning "God's gift"

Boris introducing Theo as "Fyodor" to people the night they meet again, name which means the same thing

Still, Boris rarely uses the name Theo, preferring nicknames instead

The Goldfinch being wrapped by Theo like "a Christmas present"

The Goldfinch returning on Christmas

The Goldfinch being described as something "immortal" as long there were people that loved it

Boris converting to different religions solely because of people

Like Islam because the people were nice to him

When he tattooed David's star because he wanted to work for a Jewish man

When he loves Dostoyevsky's philosophy on orthodoxy

at the same time, he can't manage to be a good man or follow through with any of them

like when he starts drinking and leaves Islam because of that

if you close the door, the night could last forever

kissed shauna with a knife to her throat consider that freak level matched

"do it scared" ok but I would like to do something some other way occasionally. Like at least once. For a change.
