I've been meaning to ask - is valkitty visually impaired or is their eye color just gray?
I'm sorry if this is a silly question it's been on my mind for the past week (๑•﹏•)
he's completely blind! (and was born that way)

I love coming on tumblr and seeing that you’re in A Mood ™ (pos) because my dash is just a wall of bisexual posting. Truly delightful experience
i'm always in A Mood tbh but yeah seeing finn come out i was like LETSGO always great to have more folks in the ranks :D and i feel very similarly about genderfluidity as i do to bisexualism it's just a nice place to exist within

Willing to be controversial but I do not think Mike's family relationship or coming out to them is a point the show sees as important. I feel like that is more of Will's arc if anything due to how it has been emphasized throughout the seasons. And I know it is like a popular take but I don't think the show will add a homophobia plotline to Mike's character. I think he's just gonna come out to Karen, and Karen will be understanding and Ted will not give a shit.
Where is that Reddit comment that says “Oh you poked the bear”?
Since this tends to be a bit if a touchy subject for some, I wanna try to answer in as nuanced a way as possible. And since this is kind of an exhausted topic, I’ll put it under a cut.
So starting with whether or not Mike is going to come out—
At this moment in time, I think Mike is much farther from being ready to have a coming out moment than Will is. Could it still happen? It could, and at that point it would depend on how the show handles it. I would honestly really appreciate a coming out scene, but I don’t think it’s a necessity for Mike’s story to be satisfactory. Mike is still gay even if it’s not explicitly stated. Furthermore, Mike can still reach a state of self acceptance without telling other people, it’s so long as he accepts it for himself that is the important thing.
As for the family thing...
I think it would be inaccurate of me to say that Mike's family and home life doesn't effect Mike. Of course it does, in the way that it does every character. And considering how much of a presence the Wheeler family seems to have had in every season, it would be stupid of me to say that they won't have an appearance or that they won't be connected to Mike's arc.
So I think that Mike's family relationship will be there, and it'll have value in the same way that everything in the show has value, big or small, however I don't think it's false of me to say that Will's family relationship is probably going to be more of a central focus.
This isn't me comparing traumas (which is a thing that can and does happen) or saying that Mike's experiences aren't important, but looking at how they function in this story, especially with the knowledge that Will is going to be a major focus next season, then it's reasonable to assume that the Byers family is probably going to be more at the center than the Wheelers.
There's also a lot more unresolved with the Byers family ie Lonnie and his involvement, and yes I am still so confident that he is coming back, if not just from the fact that Jonathan keeps bringing him up in every season. There's also a lot of mystery surrounding Lonnie, whereas with the Wheelers most of it is all there on the table.
My take on the Wheelers is that they are complicated. Perfect parents? No. Abusive? No. I'm not really gonna state where I stand on the "neglectful" debate as I feel like that word exists on a sliding scale that changes depending on who is using it. I was talking about it with Jo @wheelersboy and we agreed that the biggest problem with the Wheelers is that they are passive conformists, which I talk a little bit about in my AIDS post. They conform passively and have the privilege to not have to confront the consequences behind it. When they are at the town hall meet and come face-to-face with the extreme end of conformity, it's a huge smack in the face for them. By the end of the season, they begin to slowly de-conform.
I think that Mike’s core conflict has to do with his feelings of worthlessness and insecurity, and it will end with him realizing his worth for exactly who he is. I think this is absolutely influenced by his exterior environment, but ultimately it will be up to Mike himself to solve this conflict.

there's one thing that i just started thinking about recently in regards to wigfrid getting sick, and i don't think i've ever seen anyone actually talk about it. but it's been haunting me for a while.
because obviously she would hate it. she would loathe being sick. she's weaker than usual, more tired than usual, more useless than usual. she can't project her voice, can't sing, can't speak. she can't keep her character together, because the great and valiant above-human thing that she is would never suffer from something as benign as mortal illness. but then i remembered something more.
when an actor gets sick- the lead actor, at that- they don't just cancel the show. they call in the understudy. they 'replace' her. they hide her away from public eye and bring in someone who can do her job better than she can. because she's not up to snuff. because she didn't make the cut. because if she went up there, she would fail, and people would see it.
and as someone who's biggest personal motivator is rejection from her audience. the thought of being replaced because you aren't good enough would probably have her tearing up drywall even before she got into the constant.
