They Heard Someone Talking Shit About Bruce

Drawing HanaTaji. I like this kind of HanaTaji the most, hehehe. While drawing this I realized how much I like to make clumsy Hanai that teased around a lot. Sorry, captain D:

Happy summer, everyone!

If I had known before that making meme art would be that fun I would have made much more

Me after that one scene from the Teen Wolf Movie Trailer:

Reasons Cale Henituse is the funniest motherfucker:

*People cheering for him in the streets* Hm. Don’t like that.

His self-proclaimed speciality is just disassociating on command

Someone: *helps him* Cale: *sighs* I guess I have to solve every problem you’ve ever had

When learning a language, memorised all the swear words before anything else

“I don’t like cats,” says Cale, holding two kittens tenderly, plotting a rebellion to instate a third cat as the new emperor

Single father of *checks notes* uh… 3 to 14 children,

All he wants is to retire to the country; can’t stop getting into international incidents

His relationship with the crown prince is basically: *points at each other* Bastard

Keeps telling people not to trust him while saving their asses from certain destruction

This loser thinks he’s ‘quiet’ and ‘good at keeping still’

Cale: *smiles gently* Everyone: oh god stop What the Fuck

‘Accidental Baby Acquisition’ trope but it’s ‘Accidental Family Acquisition’ and they’re all agents of chaos

“I heard you got hurt,” says a concerned child. “Yes, I coughed up blood.” Cale comforts, comfortingly.

[Girl hits on him] No thanks [Guy hits on him] No thanks

Everyone: you’re a good person Cale: incomprehensible, have a terrible day

Named his adopted son, a dragon, ‘Dragon’

Tells people to drink tea before pulling out something that will make them spray it everywhere like a cartoon

*to a 13 year old* No you can’t train to become a knight you’re too young *to a 5 year old* Alright tonight we’re gonna blow up an island and participate in the slaughter of half a race make sure to protect me well

His entire fucking backstory, like what? What???

Raon: I’ve only had this human for an hour and a half but if anything happened to him I would kill everyone on this continent and then myself Cale: That’s terrifying please stop talking

Never thinks, at any point, to tell anyone that he has a healing power 

He’s THE most extra bitch. Orchestrates his b&e’s like he’s conducting an opera, always plans for maximum Dramatic Effect

*The crown prince doesn’t help in a terror incident* That’s fine because he’s weak. *Finds out he’s strong actually* Bastard??????

Gives his kids an extravagant allowance. Doesn’t let them spend it and buys everything for them instead

‘I should have just got beaten up’, Cale thinks, war waging around him. ‘That would be far less annoying.’

Mike and Will are two sides of the same coin. But Mike's curse is invisibility

I really love how @aemiron-main brought to light the idea that Will is a representation of LGBTQ people who are actively targeted because of their sexuality, and hated by their parents—parents who clearly perceive them and hate them for it (or at least one of them does, like in the case of Lonnie).

Meanwhile, Mike is a representation of LGBTQ people who slip through the cracks, the invisible ones, the ones their parents can’t see even though they desperately want to be seen and understood by them.

And I think it’s such a brilliant idea to have written them this way, to portray these different realities within the LGBTQ community—because yes, the 80s setting fits, but it’s not just about that. It breaks down stereotypes by showing us the overlooked representations, the so-called invisible community, the one Mike represents—so invisible that even the general audience of Stranger Things (aside from film students who know how to read cinematic language, and LGBTQ people who understand because we’re way less affected by the lens of heteronormativity) can miss it.

The fact that Mike and Will are both gay but in completely different situations is so fascinating. Whether it’s Lonnie or the bullies, or the people in town filled with judgment and prejudice, or even the ones who mean well—like his mom, his brother, and his friends—everyone sees Will.

Lonnie and the bullies take his sensitivity as an insult and attack him for it. Joyce and Jonathan cherish it and accept him for who he is. But either way, he’s seen.

And that’s the double-edged sword: being visible means he’s an easy target for hatred and violence. That’s why no one—not even Hopper or Ted Wheeler—was surprised at the idea that Will might be a victim of a hate crime.

But on the other hand, the people who love him and accept him can see him. They notice immediately when something’s wrong. They know when he’s not okay. They realize right away when he goes missing.

Who ever noticed that Mike was suffering? How long would it have taken for the Wheeler parents to realize Mike hadn’t come home if El hadn’t saved him from falling off that cliff?

Like the post said so perfectly—people don’t recognize Mike’s difference.

Sure, he’s spared from the bullying—kind of. He still gets bullied for his frog face, for being a nerd. But before Will disappeared, he didn’t seem to be targeted by the homophobic slurs that were directed at Will.

It’s not that they hate him. It’s that they don’t see him.

And that would explain his obsession with superheroes and people with powers, but also his desire to be normal. Deep down, Mike wants to be different. He wants to be seen. He wants to be himself—but he also knows how dangerous that is. He’s seen what happened to Will. And to El.

And one really important thing that aemiron-main said (which I think would explain the cliff scene so well, and which I really hope Season 5 will explore):

Will represents gay men who die from hate crimes. Mike represents gay men who die by suicide.

Will represents gay men who are too visible (through no fault of their own), whose families and the people around them sensed their queerness from a very young age. Mike represents gay men who are invisible—not hated, but never supported either.

Will represents gay men who are tormented, or taken away by force. Mike represents gay men who run away from home—or disappear by taking their own lives.

Will is a gay boy who gets picked on and called “queer” because of how he dresses. Mike is a gay boy whose clothes go unnoticed.

Will is good at hiding because he’s visible. He has to hide because people seem to see right through him.

Mike isn’t good at hiding. He’s not good at pretending to be “normal” because he never had to. He’s invisible. No one ever saw him before.

He never had to hide the way Will did.

Will had to learn how to hide and how to act “normal.” That’s exactly why he hates when people treat him differently, like he’s a “freak.” Will doesn’t want to be treated differently—because he’s always been treated differently.

Because he’s too visible. So he had to learn how to act “normal.”

Meanwhile, Mike wants to be treated differently—because he’s been invisible his entire life.

He never had to learn how to hide, or how to behave “normally,” not really. Even though now he tries, he doesn’t know how, because he never had to before.

Where Lonnie noticed every trace of queerness in Will, Ted just… ignored everything. Too busy being passive and watching TV.

Will was so visible that he couldn’t even breathe without Lonnie noticing and forcing him to play baseball, because “that’s what boys do.” Mike is so invisible he could’ve screamed “I have a girl with magical powers in my basement who’s wanted by the government” and Ted wouldn’t have noticed a thing.

Mike and Will are two sides of the same coin.

And now that I think about it… poor Mike is just lost. He doesn’t know where he fits.

Because he’s an invisible gay kid, he doesn’t feel normal—so he thinks he has to protect himself by hiding his difference and pretending to be normal. He performs heteronormativity for the whole world to see (aka the cis-het “normals”).

But at the same time, he’s not seen or accepted by the “different” ones either—because they don’t perceive his difference.

(Like when El says “no you don’t” after Mike tells her he knows what it’s like to be bullied—because she meant being different, and she didn’t see that in him.)

Mike doesn’t feel at home with the “normal” people, because deep down he knows he’s different. But he doesn’t feel different enough to be embraced by those who are different.

So he’s stuck. He’s floating in between. He doesn’t know where his place is.

Which also explains why it’s so hard for him to develop a sense of self-worth outside of being needed. Outside of being useful.

He suppresses and denies his own trauma because he thinks it doesn’t “count.” Because he didn’t go through what Will went through. Or what El went through. So he tells himself it’s nothing.

His curse is invisibility.

Even we, the audience, don’t get access to his point of view. He’s ignored, overlooked, minimized—and especially misunderstood.

And all of this gives him that aching feeling of belonging nowhere. Not normal enough, not different enough. Not this, not that.

Mike Wheeler is Vecna’s playground, honestly. If he isn’t one of his targets in Season 5, then what was the point of writing such a painfully complex character?

Here is the post who inspired me this post.

IF YOU KNEW ME, YOU WOULD KNOW THAT I WILL NOT SHUT UP ABOUT TOLKIEN (and about JC of course :D) AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT. Hence Beren and Luthien AU! XiCheng <3 (Beren!JC and Luthien!Xichen)  The Beren and Luthien story is very contexted and may confuse you if you haven’t read the Silmarillion (if you don’t know what that is, it is a very extensive thousand years ago prequel to Lord of the Rings.) But I’ll try to make it very simple and I’ll put in some MDZS too. Jiang Cheng, a young orphaned mortal man, suffered the destruction of the Jiang House. The Dark Lord has persecuted his house for the unwillingness to give up their territory and for their fierce opposition. The Jiang house was sieged and massacred (much like Lotus Pier) and JC was only spared because he was sent away to scout on the Enemy. He came back to a macabre. He was devastated and grief overwhelmed him. His parents and kin dead, WWX missing and JYL still at their grandparent’s territory. He swore revenge upon his mother’s bones and took her ring, Zidian, a powerful ring that controls lightning. Ok, let’s pretend that men, dwarves, and elves are all cultivators. Men, the weakest and Elves, the most powerful. 

Zidian was a powerful heirloom made by a renowned Elven craftsman and gifted to a Yu ancestor for saving the elf from an ambush. He spent four years as a solitary outlaw, hellbent on revenge but he became a friend to birds and beasts- yes like a Disney princess, AND! he became a full-blown vegetarian. Slaying orcs, he did not fear death, only captivity, but being bold and desperate, he escaped both death and bonds. His deeds became known throughout the land and there was a price on his head that could match the bounty price of an Elven King.  So all in all, he was a top-tiered vigilante, tired as fuck, grumpy as hell, thicc of thighs from all the running, and needs sleep ASAP. He stumbled upon the borders of Gusu (okay, replacing Doriath with Gusu), and went through it because he doesn’t give any flying fucks. The thing with Gusu that it is an enclosed elven kingdom with a very powerful barrier made by Madame Lan (okay, replacing Melian with Madame Lan), a Maia (equivalent to an angel). Qingheng Jun is dead here btw but Madame Lan is staying for her babies, the twin Jades, instead of going back to Valinor (heaven).

So Lan Xichen, the eldest immortal Elven prince, was the most beautiful of all Eru’s (God) children. Half-Elven and Half-Maia, he was very, very, powerful. He could very well kill you with his voice only without lifting a pinky. Ok, to establish, in Tolkien’s World, music is the very essence of power and creating, heck the whole universe is created through an opera gone wrong. So yeah, singing with power could very well kill you or heal you.   Anyways, back to JC, the barrier, called “the Girdle of Madame Lan” is very veiled and a really impossible maze. Only at the guide of the Elven sentries or the orders of Madame Lan does the barrier give in. But he surpassed that because he’s so fucking tired and doesn’t really care anymore. And Madame Lan liked him (she can read hearts and the future ok? She’s an angel) and could sense that he was LXC’s fated one. She kept silent of course.  So without any grace, he collapsed into his bedroll after finding a clearing and bandaging his wounds. The clearing also happens to be LXC’s favorite. And unlike the book, this AU will be ultra-slow burn friends to lovers, instead of love at first sight. Cos I like it that way?? And JC is blushing because of the sheer  elven prettiness and power that radiated off of LXC (yeah keep telling yourself that, JC.)  And if one knew of the story, you would have a vague idea of how this will all end. I’ll hopefully add more to this because I ADORE this AU, and yes I already thought all of it. Whoo good job, self :D
