yes i'm rooting for m*leven breakup because byler is neat but mostly? i'm rooting for m*leven breakup for the sake of el and mike.
to me, their romance was always a puppy love born out of a combination of social pressures, naïve curiosity, and a lack of true understanding regarding intimacy and romantic love and what it really is. it was real in that they do truly, deeply care about each other and they are close friends, maybe even shared an attraction, but a maturing romance is so much more than that. they've grown up and out of being boyfriend/girlfriend, and that's okay! i think television/film needs to show more often that most of us don't have definite "soulmates" or first childhood loves that we spend our whole lives with. it doesn't mean these relationships meant nothing and didn't impact us, it just means they've run their course and that something else is in the cards, and this is part of life!
i've always felt el was at her best and most confident self when broken up with mike, discovering who she was and what she liked alongside another girl her age instead of just relying on mike for mentorship on how to live in the real world. she deserves more of an opportunity to find herself, her autonomy, and her independence, and to love who she is, and she's made it clear she's felt insecure in the relationship with mike because she isn't being loved and understood the way she wants, needs, and deserves from someone who is her partner.
also, it's okay if mike doesn't love her in "the way he should". he is not obligated to love her romantically and stay in a relationship with her just because she's a girl, because she "needed someone", or because he cares about her a lot. he shouldn't be pressured into a romance if it's not truly coming from his heart. he deserves freedom to find out and honour who he is, too, instead of just staying in his non-functional first relationship — one he got into as a child, essentially — and defining himself that way because it's what's expected when a boy and a girl are close. he loves her in some way, yes, but it's okay if he doesn't feel comfortable or secure being her boyfriend anymore, for whatever reason that is. he's felt insecure too, and that's valid and it matters.
they are their own people and are steadily growing and changing every day. they need time to figure out who those people are, and it's become clear (at least in my opinion) that those people aren't meant to be a couple at this stage.
they deserve freedom. they deserve to grow up and be authentic to themselves and not feel like they need to lie for the sake of a relationship. they deserve to move on from this version of their relationship that isn't making them happy and rekindle the best part of their bond: their strong, beautiful friendship. they don't have to be a couple if it doesn't make them stronger and better and happier people.
i think it would be healthy and wonderful for a show, especially one consumed frequently by young adults, to show a relationship starting, progressing, and ending on good terms in this way. sometimes things don't work out, and that is okay.

The Warner Siblings and The Powerpuff Girls are more similar than you think
Both groups of siblings:
Are a "Beauty, Brains, and Brawn" trio
(Simply put, Dot and Bubbles are both "the cute one")
(Blossom is studious, well organised, and often uses her brain to save the day; Yakko is a "smarty-pants", often outsmarts foes (and sometimes his sibs), and is very knowledgeable about academics-particularly geography and history)
(Buttercup is "the toughest fighter" and Wakko is the most destructive Warner and the most likely to use a mallet)
Are artificial beings who were created on the same day, not as babies but as children
Have a scientist as a guardian
Had a different scientist mass produce deformed clones of them, who eventually rebelled against him
Are insanely powerful to the point of being almost indestructible
(the PPG have superpowers due to Chemical X, and the Warners have Toon Physics/Force)
Became outcasts because of said abilities
Have comic-exclusive evil counterparts
Have fought the devil
...and have anime counterparts
In conclusion...um...Animaniacs good. Powerpuff Girls good. Watch them.

We don't acknowledge enough that there's a random person with a dog in the background of Virginity Rocks. What do you think they were thinking?
Picture this, you're just walking your dog through your local park, where you see a man and a woman dressed in bright blue and pink shirts that say "VIRGINITY ROCKS!". They're dancing. And they have a camera crew. You should probably stop going for walks this early in the morning.
