Finn saying this while Mike’s still in a relationship with El is insane
him acknowledging Will as Mike’s love interest 🏳🌈👀 while he just said Lucas and Dustin cuz he has an actual platonic relationship with them cuz “Max, LUCAS AND DUSTIN are great it’s just it’s Hawkins it’s not the same without you” (our friends are great but they’re not you)
so he meant this romantically
*Smalltown Boy starts playing*
oh👀🏳🌈 ok then
“the Duffers have taken a lot of time to perfectly end that part” 👀
*listen to your heart starts playing*
the fact that Finn spent half of the 2 panels complaining about how clueless Mike is and talking about Byler .. he’s so done with that gay mess.. he’s like “OPEN YOUR EYES AND KISS YOUR BOY” (so me coded)
Finn's answers at Stranger Con are so interesting, because they tell us that Mike figuring out the truth about the painting is important not just for Will and his journey, but for Mike's. Opening his eyes and ears and listening, seeing what Will feels for him will make his life better. It might even help him with his depression. No matter how big the self-esteem boost is, I can't imagine another scenario for Mike's cluelessness paying off, from Mike's perspective, than Mike being in love with Will as well.
“they have to keep going they can’t just end it there” implies they won’t leave things ambiguous, their relationship WILL be addressed
“in episode 8 you see mike and him talk, it’s pretty sad. then in episode 9.... you’ll have to see :)” sounds about right considering it will likely get worse before it gets better but is about as hopeful as he can be without giving spoilers!!!
So I MAY OR MAY NOT have a ticket to Stranger Con I’m tryna sell for half-price including a Finn photo op 😭 (I bought it on impulse and can’t make it)
I don’t have the PDF yet but I’m 95% certain I can just forward the email when I get it. Lmk I don’t want it to go to waste (obvs I won’t ask for the money until I see I can forward it too)
I need someone to go to Stranger Con in Atlanta, GA, USA on Jun 11th to bring a jar of Byler's Southern Chow Chow for Finn Wolfhard to sign. For reasons
