i don't agree with anything you said in mike's part but yes max was a big influence on el <3
Been watching the makeover scene on repeat because it's fascinating. Mike is literally making up El the way he wants her to be, very feminine, blonde, the idealized American girl. She doesn't get a say in her clothes or her makeup or her hair, they are simply decided for her while she is obviously very uncomfortable. Secondly, Mike doesn't call her pretty until she's got the wig on, as if at that moment he realized "Shit, I like to spend time with this person, she's a girl, that means I must have a crush on her, quick call her pretty" It's watching two kids pretending to be someone they're not. Compare that to the Max makeover
There's even a parallel in the mirror frame, I mean c'mon.
Max is the anti-Mike and El is so much happier around her
m@x and luc@s' books? sometimes they mention mike's behavior as "miserable" "very grumpy" "looks like the upside down version of him" or something like this... When someone is depressed, they won't always look sad, they can also look very angry.
does anyone know any good posts or anything at all that is proof that mike was suffering from depression? im trying to explain to someone of the GA that i know irl that mike has been showing signs but they wont take only my word for it so i wanted to show like film/framing proof or any lines or anything at all from the show that points to it
