generally don’t understand why “Will deserve better than Mike” is a take that sends some people into meltdown. If you honestly think canon Mike deserve Will, then I don’t know what to tell you.

I genuinely don’t think I’ll ever love another character the way I love Will

“Mike and Will both made mistakes.” Be so fucking serious. This is not a group project. I don’t know what fanfiction you’ve been reading, but we clearly did not watch the same show. Mike making a mess of everything does not magically mean Will also did something wrong.

some of you watched Mike screw up for five seasons straight and somehow concluded that Will needs to take responsibility too. No. Mike should be thanking his lucky stars Will ever put up with him in the first place.

In fact, forget their relationship for a second. Will has yet to commit a single crime, mistake, or wrongdoing in his entire life.

Because apparently you can say the most insane thing imaginable about Will, blame it on “toxic fans,” add a quick “but I love him,” and suddenly nobody questions it. Meanwhile everyone becomes a character respect advocate the second the conversation shifts to Mike.
People act like the only people capable of saying weird shit about Will are his haters. Meanwhile half the fandom starts every tweet with “I love Will” and then proceeds to say the most dehumanizing, insulting thing you’ve ever read about him.

Will gets dragged, and somehow that’s all fair game. But the second it’s Mike, suddenly we’re talking about nuance, empathy, and respect. And somehow this level of protection is reserved for the most narratively useless character in the sho

At least the hate is honest. The “I love him 🥺” crowd saying the exact same thing and hiding behind fandom discourse is way funnier to me.

mike wheeler were talking about. the character fandom has rewritten, defended, projected onto, and reconstructed a thousand different ways. its just fascinating how even fanfiction cant revolve around will for five minutes before people start acting like mike is being oppressed.
ithe way some of you get genuinely upset about will being loved, prioritized, or put at the center of fanfics is so weird to me. canon already put that kid through hell. now even fanfiction is too much? like damn, can he at least be the favorite in somebody else’s google doc?

the funny thing is you’d think this fandom would be the one place where will gets to be loved, prioritized, and cared for after everything he’s been through. but apparently even fanfiction is too much for some of you.

and let’s be real for a second. if mike had gone through even half of what will did, nobody would be complaining about him being the center of every fic. nobody would be calling it “babying.” nobody would be acting like he’s stealing attention from other characters.

some of you can’t even handle him being loved in fanfiction without turning it into a mike defense campaign.

the funniest thing about “stop babying will” discourse is that it always comes from people who have spent years explaining why every single thing mike has ever done was actually justified, misunderstood, symbolic, necessary, strategic, and secretly genius.

What does his age have to do with any of this? And yes, he suffered because of it. Yes, he was subjected to homophobia. But he never tried to change himself because of it either. That’s literally the point. He faced those reactions and still remained himself.

I mean, yeah, I am a will defender, which is exactly why it annoys me when people insist a canonically feminine character isn’t feminine. Femininity is an important part of his character.
