the best gag in dungeon meshi is marcille slowly spiraling into insanity while everyone just kind of pretends that she's fine. it's like they think that as long as they pretend they do not see it then they can manifest her returning to normalcy. but then she devolves even further and is diagnosed aiab (assigned italian at birth) and becomes evil for a little bit and they're like "ah fuck. how did this happen" as if they have not actively been driving her increasingly manic this entire time. and then even when she's evil she's somehow even more pathetic. like one of those kittens that just kind of wobbles around and then is given a bath and instantly looks 10x worse. and she's wearing a fucking jester's outfit but no one is calling her on it for some reason. tits and shoulders fully out with the eye bags to match, looking like she's constantly on the verge of throwing up. then while her friends are panicking and trying to snap her out of it literally the entire fucking town is standing there watching her warily but entirely unsurprised like this is exactly the kind of character development they expected from her. and that's when you realize it was all foreshadowing from the start and wasn't just her autistic girl swag

Paulina steals Spectra's schtick: a monologue
Yeah, I know about your whole 'one bad day'. Ever consider that maybe the problem isn't human nature? Maybe it's just you.
'Cause I had my bad day, considered going evil, decided it was tacky, and got into psychology instead.
Not that I need to be a psychologist to see how you work.
Deep down, you know that you're an boring, pathetic little man who can only effect the world through violence. You have nothing else to offer - you're just an overgrown and undersocialized toddler throwing a temper tantrum over not getting what you want.
No one cares about who you were before you decided to become a career psycho, but I bet I can guess the basics - you were an ambitionless loser in a dead-end job, silently seething over the world's failure to give you the attention and respect you desired.
Not that you ever bothered to do anything worth either. 
Then one day you got hurt. A mugging, a gunshot, falling into a vat of acid like a b-grade goon in a Saturday morning cartoon, whatever. No one cared, because you'd never cared about anyone in your whole selfish life. 
That was the last straw, wasn't it? Realizing that you could have died and mattered to no one. Someone stronger than you might have taken it as a wake-up call to improve themselves. You just used it as an excuse to start killing.
You were always a clown, joker. The saddest, dullest, most pathetic clown in the whole damn circus, and that's all you'll ever be.

Mike wasn't lying when he said "I love you" to El, AND it doesn't rule out Byler
The monologue that some point to as "proof" that Mike and El are an endgame couple is actually one of the strongest hints of a Byler conclusion.
Because Mike was saying "I love you" to Will.
Sounds crazy? Of course! He was speaking directly to El, after all. What the hell am I talking about?
Tumblr media
Some have focused on contradictions and other issues with what Mike says, including listing El's superpowers instead of the full person she wants to be loved for being. Plus he had to do it (and was pushed by Will), or else El and their friends in Hawkins might have died. It does seem like El sensed something off in what he said, which would explain why she hardly talked to him afterward. But I actually disagree about MIke's "I love you" being a total lie. In the official script it's written that it had a positive effect on El (although the way it was ultimately shot and edited made it more ambiguous). (I got this screencap from a TikTok video):
Tumblr media
And so, in the van, Will DID make Mike love El. Mike MIGHT have wondered whether Will was talking about himself too, but one thing he was convinced of was that that El loved him because "he's the heart." Feeling like she loved him for who he was made him love her. I think it's more accurate to say that, while Mike's monologue may have had issues, he DID say something genuine... BUT the logic of events leads more toward a BYLER conclusion than away from one.
The problem for Mike and El is that Mike was saying "I love you" to the idea of El that WILL put in his head:
Tumblr media
Will said that El felt like a mistake, and that Mike made her feel like she was better for being different. She was terrified of losing him and so that's why she pushed him away.
So Mike came out of that conversation with new feelings for El: he thought that she needed HIM to love her, not because of "dumb luck," but because of Mike's unique qualities. Who HE is helps her be a superhero.
But El's journey in Season 4 was to LEAVE Mike to "be a superhero." When she left a note for Mike, she tellingly signed it "From El." When she realized he couldn't say he loved her, she chose to let go of their romantic relationship. Her journey in Season 4 was about finding who she is independently from others in her life (most importantly her "papa" Dr. Brenner). El went through her own journey that REQUIRED separating from Mike.
Tumblr media
This time, instead of Mike coming up with the plan (like so many times before), EL came up with the piggyback plan. While she was piggybacking, Mike said "I love you" -- but having her self-esteem depend on when Mike said it was something she was struggling to move away from.
She had felt like a monster. What liberated her from feeling that wasn't Mike and not the lie of a "normal life" (a relationship). She had to realize it entirely on her own:
Tumblr media
There were clues in the monologue for her to pick up on that Mike wasn't fully telling the truth, first and foremost him saying that he "knew, in that moment, that I loved you." (He couldn't have, when he was openly scheming in s1 to get her sent away, possibly to a mental hospital, loud enough for her to hear.)
But there WAS something heartfelt and earnest in Mike saying "I love you." Mike saw someone who desperately needed him and who MIKE was a hero to, not the other away around.
That person he was thinking of, of course, was WILL.
It wasn't like it was news to Mike that El needed his love: El confronted him earlier in the season for not saying he loved her. We all saw that El's heartbreak didn't convince Mike that he loved El.
Ironically, it was WILL'S heartbreak, HIS emotions, and HIS words that did. And Mike felt something real this time, because it came from WILL.
Deep down, Mike wants to be someone's hero. He's the leader; he's "the heart." When dealing with a superhero like El, he can admire and love her, sure... but does he see himself as a discount Lois Lane? Does it make MIKE feel loved for who HE is? Mike doesn't want to be loved by someone simply because Mike admires them. He wants be loved for being who HE is and because THAT is what makes him THEIR hero.
Mike rambled just before Will's speech about being "some random nerd" and feeling like he didn't deserve El. He felt inadequate, and this affected him ("leader Mike" recedes when he's in a relationship with El). Will's point "You make them feel better because they're different" doesn't just describe El + Will; that is Mike, too.
Being "some random nerd" is part of exactly why Will loves him so much. Will's painting was the perfect gift; Will knows and understands his best friend better than anyone. The D&D theme was a tribute to Mike the nerd, the hero, and the leader. WILL's love makes Mike feel like he's better because of who he is.
Tumblr media
Mike's journey in s4 was him rediscovering that he is a hero. And this required separating from El and hearing this from Will. Will said that he's the leader of the group: "You keep the party together." And earlier in the season he reminded Mike "you guys saved me" (with a proud "I did, didn't I" reaction from Mike that was super cute lol).
Will's love gave Mike the strength to be a hero again. Mike pretty much used Will's words in his monologue to El. Two scenes at the end of Season 4 foreshadowed "leader Mike" coming back; his speech to El, and his "We will" shoulder grab with Will. Whatever issues there were in his monologue, this was undeniably THE callback to "leader Mike" of s1 and s2. He didn't help El beat Vecna, but he helped them survive. And It was WILL's love for Mike that reminded him that he's a hero. And it was WILL's love that convinced him to say "I love you" to the person who made him feel that way, who (as it turns out) was WILL.
So we'll have a final season where there is this hugest of loose ends when it comes to Byler: Mike will somehow realize that Will in the van was describing himself and not El. Mike will realize that the first time he felt romantic love, was because of Will. (It's the perfect formula, writing-wise, to make a person confused about his romantic feelings!) He may realize that Will more than anyone helps him be the hero he wants to be.
AND Mike will learn that Will sacrificed his own happiness for him and El. How does that NOT lead to Mike loving Will more than he already does?
Finn Wolfhard himself said about the van scene:
How is he this clueless right now? What with the Will scene... I remember asking the Duffers, "Why would he not know all this?" And they were like, "Don't worry, kid, it'll pay off in the end."
I think it will.
P.S. Follow me and read my blog! I have so much to say!

Ok but I fucking hate the anti-"not like other girls" trend. I'll bet money 90% of the people who said that in high school were ostracized by other girls for being neurodivergent or queer in some way or simply not being girly enough (have you been to high school?? Mean Girls is a documentary). Are we gonna talk about that? No, we're just gonna call it girl hate when a teenager doesn't like pink.
It's always 20 year olds yelling about this too like I'm sorry a 15 year old girl isn't a perfect feminist.
So really. I think these people are just the femme bullies again. Only they are "righteous" this time. It's a horseshoe.
