sorry but i’m still here. the way will was so excited to see mike and you can tell by the way his hand grabs the backpack that he was ready to embrace mike with so much enthusiasm. like he was ready to hug him and never let go 🥺
We don't talk about the facial expression he has before he double takes and notices Will looking back at him enough because I would argue these similar faces.

Listening to "I love you first" I was thinking about the months after Will left Hawkins, how Mike might feel...how many times did he try to write a letter to Will, A letter that always ended with "love, Mike" because he couldn't do unless to expresses her immense love to him and how much he suffered from his distance
I believe in a mike’s letter to Will full of love and I hope we’ll have it in s5.
tbh i don’t know how anyone could give a clear opinion of ttpd after one listen. there are 31 songs on there that were made in the rawness of explaining heartbreak, depression, anger, loneliness, grief, reflection, insecurities, contradictions of feelings and thoughts… ttpd is not an album you can listen to in one go and feel like you understand it. you can’t even listen to one track and feel like you understand it. all 31 songs need each other. it may seem like there’s a back and forth of emotions as you play each track, but in actuality it is a very cohesive album. it’s how taylor was feeling for a period of time and as we know life is not linear therefore emotions aren’t either. this album is about HER feelings and HER experiences. you’re not supposed to listen and figure out which track needs to be an “everlasting pop hit for decades to come”. the point of this album is to listen to taylor’s very real emotions and thoughts through songwriting. to me this album feels like having conversations with a best friend who has been struggling. that’s why i think it’s an album that truly needs to be listened to with all your attention and listened to multiple times. if you listen with the intent of finding that catchy pop bop, then this is the wrong album to do that with. you are meant to listen to connect with taylor and yourself. the tortured poets department is an exploration of the soul. any piece of art that does that will never be easily digested because of its humanity, but unfortunately society confuses that with “cringe” which leads to a consensus that it’s “bad”. i hope more people give it another chance because it truly is a masterpiece that deserves to be listened to with the gentleness and care you would have listening to a friend.
do you think at any point during s5 that mike, will, and jonathan will bring up they buried a body?? or that they went to suzie’s house and met her entire family?? or that they witnessed el blow up a helicopter?? because idk i feel like we need a scene where everyone is just like “ok we need to come up with a plan” and mike just goes “oh hey btw we had to bury a body of an agent that knew where el was since dr. brenner kidnapped her again after she got arrested. the agent died because he was shot during a shootout at mrs. byers house. then we had to go to suzie’s to get help to figure out where el was based on a number we found in the agent’s pen. which dustin, she’s great but her family is a little *points to head and twirls finger to sign that they’re crazy/chaotic* anyways, once we found el she was in the middle of blowing up a helicopter. then dr. brenner proceeded to die again. so yeah just thought you guys should know in case that might be of help in any sort of way.”
being a girl in her 20’s who acknowledges she’s never been happy and depression lives within us like it’s a part of our skeletal structure
also, i relate to this so much. the fear of being known. thinking it’s better to be alone and unknown because then you can’t be judged for who you are since no one is around to do so. spending birthdays alone or with family because you’ve isolated yourself so much :(( it’s nice to know billie went through this too and got out of it. she discusses taking baby steps in going out and that’s where i’m at in therapy as well. just starting to go out little by little until i feel comfortable with existing in the world
