Mike being the OG protagonist + Will having some girl crushing on him almost every season, tells me everything I need to know...
#byler#the protagonist's love interest is almost always framed as being wanted by everyone#they're framed as unattainable basically#bc they could literally have anyone#and so why you?#you could make the argument that its meant to hint at will not liking girls...#but the first mention we get of a girl liking will...#will isn't even present for it? and the boys assume he would be excited about it...?#the boys are all reacting to it including mike#s2 girl incident heavily involved mike..#this is what I was thinking about the other day too#bc lucas tries to call out mike by saying he's just blind bc he likes that a girl isn't grossed out by him...#mike is seen as weird and a nerd by girls in his hometown#no girl was going to walk up to him to dance that night at the snowball#even dustin had to get humiliated trying to ask a girl#lucas was fortunate enough to have met max and now they were getting together#otherwise#the only one in their group to get asked to dance by a girl casually#was will#WILL PULLS bitches!#and mike is there to witness it half the time#in s4 mike isn't there and so i think that moment was meant for us to start to fully realize will wasn't attracted to girls#but then she just so happens to have the same hair as mike and be in the same pose as him in the junkward during the triple take#like the madness never really ends#will is the love interest!!!#why do you think he's glowing all the time!?!!?!?!?#why introduce him from the beginning as liked by the most popular girl in school like it's just such a weird choice#but not if he's the protagonists love interest...#mike being jealous of max and her friendship bond with el in s3#i've connected the dots
