Damn, I feel like I never really registered this until right now, but the reason why Mike couldn't tell what Will truly meant in the van scene, the reason why Mike didn't see the veil of El's name, the reason why Mike stared so blankly and had so little left to say once Will was done talking, the reason why Mike could not for the life of him clock that it was Will's own feelings in the van scene?? is because Will doesn't lie. Even further yet, Will doesn't lie to Mike. Not once in the entire show has Will hidden a thing from Mike or made any excuses or plainly lied to Mike. Never, ever, ever, unless there's a moment I can't remember right now, never has there been a moment when Will lied to Mike.
Season 1. "The roll. It was a seven." Season 2. "It's about d'artagnan." Season 3. Will has always been expressive around Mike, enough to bring up feeble - "she said she dumped your ass, that doesn't sound like a break!" - and substantial - "I guess I did. I really did." - arguments with him.
So yeah, the van scene is heartbreaking. Yeah, it hurts. Yeah, it sucks that Mike couldn't see the truth.
But it was proof that Mike trusts in Will that much. It showed me that Mike would take Will's words in a heartbeat, even after six months apart and never having tapped into that trust for so long. In the span of 4 episodes post-reconciliation from blaming each other and around that many canonical days or even potentially less days than that! Mike completely and utterly trusted Will with his every word. No question. No question but a speechless and heartwarmed and trusting, "yeah?"
So I don't know, maybe I'm just going crazy, but I think that Mike's idiocy in the van scene is actually a lot more endearing than meets the eye.

one of the most infuriating things about becoming an adult is when you realize that it actually is 10x easier to solve problems by making a phone call vs literally any other communication method

Unstoppable Force (my love of seeing other people's takes/stylization on my OCs) vs Immovable Object (my gripping fear of not doing other people's OCs enough justice when I draw them)

The world exists in such a baffling state of simultaneous sex-aversion and sex-hegemony. Every social platform on the internet is trying to banish sex workers to the shadow realm but I can't post a tweet without at least two bots replying P U S S Y I N B I O. People are self-censoring sex to seggs and $3× but every other ad you see is still filled with half-naked women. Rightwingers want queer people arrested for so much as existing in the same postal code as a child and are also drumming up a moral panic about how teenage boys aren't getting laid enough. I feel like I'm losing my mind.

Bit telling that for years and years evangelical religious extremists have been allowed on university campuses with their bullhorns and horrific imagery where they harass students into physical altercations and when students complain to the university’s administration they just shrug their shoulders citing freedom of speech but when those same tuition-paying students start protesting against war and genocide they call SWAT
