I can't wait for Mike to finally gain a healthy outlook of his self-worth. He deserves to be confident and to stop downgrading himself and realize he doesn't need to be needed to obtain the selfless love he wants. Mike deserves to express himself without worry or fear after feeling invalidated for so long. He deserves to validate himself and take time to be amazed at how smart he is.
Mike deserves to see that he's more than what his self-sacrificial mind thinks. He needs to stop overthinking and listen to his heart more, follow his heart more, and finally understand that he is worth the time/effort/attention because he simply exists. He's alive and breathing and he just exists and it's just as easy as that.
Mike Wheeler deserves to feel good about himself.
Robin: Eddie, you have not had the full Steve experience until he makes the swan napkins for you
Lucas: or he just cooks for you in general
Nancy: orrrrrrrr when he starts driving really fast and there's like 8 people in the car + you and him and you have like 4 people making out, 1 is drinking, and the other is sitting on the edge of the window with their entire torso out the car. Bonus points if there's pop rock music in the background
Steve: Nancy-
Nancy: or when you're at his party and some drunk girl begins to strip on his table
Steve: Nance-
Nancy: OR whn you, Carol, Valkyrie, him, and Tommy are just chilling and you and Carol are talking and then all of a sudden him and Tommy are making out, fully sober then say "it's not gay if we have girlfriends"
Eddie: Steve, wtf
Steve: me and Tommy had a running gag where we would kiss and at the time it was funny because gay people but in reality we just wanted to kiss a guy
Dustin: I'm sorry excuse me?
Steve: the joke was that I was prettier than Carol and Tommy wanted to fuck me

any time someone says "you really think they'd make mike lie in his speech to eleven? how are they going to address that in season five then? 🙄" i have to laugh. as if the villain of this story isn't someone that literally and specifically targets people who feel shame and guilt and lie LMAO
an underrated detail in pride and prejudice is that elizabeth bennett was home alone on the day darcy proposed because she had a headache. can you imagine. this was in the pre-painkillers era. you're at home with a headache and then this asshole walks into the room and tells you he loves you and wants to marry you even though he hates your whole family and you're beneath him. imagine having to deal with that while also having a headache. she doesn't even have ibuprofen
The student loan debt thing got me thinking. Fuck the founding fathers of course, but "I am compelled to study war and politics so that my sons might have liberty to study philosophy and mathematics" is a great line and I think about it every time some fool starts complaining that life doesn't suck as much as it used to

toxic codependent familial dynamics this. toxic codependent romances that. what about toxic codependent coworkers. i can’t do my job without this guy here or i’ll kill myself.
Sometimes I think about Tim having trust issues after Bruce's 16th birthday gift fiasco, just him wanting so hard to trust in his family, but never being fully able to do so.
Imagine Tim sitting at the table during dinner suddenly wondering if maybe Alfred poisoned his food because maybe today, Bruce decided he wanted to test Tim's tolerance to them. Or Tim chucking a gift from Bruce into his closet just in case it's another doomsday message. Tim adding stuff into his family and friends' schedules on his birthday so everyone will be too busy to remember and he can pretend it's just another normal day. Tim preparing for the worst case scenario in every mission and patrol, surprised every time someone backs him up or comes to help him because he was genuinely not expecting it.
