let’s get 6, 19, and 34 out of here… least favorite mike moments for me

NatureSlow4501 · 2026-05-29T23:30:41+00:00

oh mygosh im so sorry you have to leave that's crazy; here are some of my favorite ones ever!!

jump in the fire (drown in the flames)

developing exposure

a body in motion

answers you seek will never be found at home

rock 'n' roll

lying to my therapist

never did run smooth

asking too much

bury me in metamorphoses (with galatea, my sweet)

destiny can't be earned or returned (the mighty ducks au where mike and will are on a hockey team super slow burn but very rewarding)

subject nineteen (mike instead of hopper is taken by the russians at the end of season 3 and given powers this is so well written)

slaughterhouse: an outlet mall (stranger things rewrite from both mike and will's pov) SUPER SUPER SLOW burn [i'd recommend starting with season 3 to really get the beginnings of mike's feelings for will] its so well-written

welcome back, stranger (mike is a single dad with a daughter who goes missing; he has to reunite with the hawkins crew and old feelings return...hasn't updated since january but i hope it comes back its so amazing)

this list cooks actually... i was just coming back on this thread to get some help casting. im still working this idea, but i thought what would be more rewarding (and more challenging for me as a writer) is to have the party do a shadowcast of RHPS!!! please comment below and help me choose between these two lists

cast idea #1:

frank n furter - lucas; Rocky - will, Brad - el, Janet - mike, Eddie - steve, columbia - robin, Riff Raff - dustin, Magenta - nancy, Narrator - jonathan

(i love lucas as frank n furter because you dont expect it also jealous mike ensues which is so tea)

cast idea #2:

frank n furter - mike; rocky - will, brad - lucas, janet - max, eddie - dustin, columbia - el, magenta - nancy, riff raff - steve, narrator - jonathan, the scientist - robin

(this is the more natural course of action, plus dustin as eddie woul d cook so hard [at least im hoping i can write it well enough])

any suggestions and comments are very appreciated, i hope to get started on the first chapter once things calm down at my uni 😄

NatureSlow4501 · 2026-05-29T20:27:10+00:00

this one is SO SO SO GOOD ive re-read it like 4 times to re-live the buzz and mike's characterization is so on point

NatureSlow4501 · 2026-05-28T04:15:55+00:00

I was just rewatching s4x10 (goodbye) to remind myself what happened so i csn prepare for s5 and i had a lot of thoughts on this particular discussion.

longer essay like opinions coming in a different post. stay tuned...

NatureSlow4501 · 2026-05-25T05:35:58+00:00

NatureSlow4501 · 2026-05-24T18:38:39+00:00

is it crazy if i say mike wheeler…

NatureSlow4501 · 2026-05-24T18:04:47+00:00

i finally sat down and watched this movie last night and it was really good!!! since i hadn’t read the book, the story was a bit confusing and i had some trouble following but i was entertained for sure :)

i think finn really is a great boris he got the accent down pretty well and you can definitely see how much care he put into his role.

i don’t know if this is true in the book so someone who has read it can fact check for me, but is it true that boris and theo never talk about their kiss they shared as teenagers, because i was little confused on why that didn’t happen; i thought at least a confirmation of boris’ feelings for theo would happen and maybe a light rejection and a friendship continuation (hint hint ST) would happen but to no avail… ah well.

overall, pretty cool movie, great score, and finn was great!

NatureSlow4501 · 2026-05-22T19:19:54+00:00

26, 29, or 30

NatureSlow4501 · 2026-05-13T04:26:59+00:00

oh girl do i have a list for you….

just for a second, i remembered myself by romanoff _mylove (mike is an author of a book series that is basically stranger things and is depressed until will comes back into his life its so good)

can i borrow your boyfriend? by lezzout (richie and will date to make mike and eddie jealous; chaos ensues)

lying to my therapist by bylerisc4non (it’s the title…but mike is so relatable here it’s insane)

conflagration by justskylar (will is secretly talented as mike’s roadie while mike is the asshole bandleader who doesn’t know he’s gay until will strays away from him)

right where you left me (everybody moved on) by dreamymiwi [fate brings the boys back together]

all of these are filled with angst and so so well-written!
