Let the patriarchy get to you! Keep mutilating that body, good things are ahead. Get even more dangerous hormones!
I’m replacing my estrogen with adrenaline and my dick with a buzzsaw as we speak and I’ve never felt more alive

not to be too real but since we're talking about it... we always talk about will feeling lonely which is fair, but... it is such an Ugly, isolating, and genuinely heart-wrenching feeling to be the odd one out in your family, and to watch them treat others who aren't related to you the way you wish they would treat you, to watch them perform their familial roles with them and not you.
nancy's the only person in his family that mike could talk to, the only person that has the same trauma and would understand, and yet... he can't. they don't ever talk unless it's to be snippy and bite. nancy spends more time caring about max and will than she does mike, her own little brother.
holly is too young for him to bond with like that. she's just barely a kid, one that still needs to be cared for.
his mom tries her best, but he doesn't feel comfortable being vulnerable with her. considering the fact that she did everything "right" according to society's standards and married their dad of all people, i doubt he feels comfortable showing her who he really is. he lets her hug him when he's at his lowest, but we don't see them actually connecting.
his dad is just some ghost that haunts his house. he doesn't care about mike or think highly of him at all. the only times we've seen him pay mike any attention are when he belittles his interests, mocks him, punishes him, or shuts him down by telling him to listen to his mother. the only support he gets from him is financial in nature.
meanwhile, everyone else has a family they can turn to. dustin, despite lying to his mother to keep her out of his shenanigans, seems to have a decent relationship with her. even if he doesn't, he still has steve and robin. lucas is shown to have a healthy relationship with his parents and erica. will and el have their family.
max's situation is different, but she has the backing of the party; people that love her and actively try to help her and pull her back into the world of the living. she isn't thrust into a leadership role that doesn't allow for vulnerability. she has nancy who is willing to fight monsters for her, el who literally performed a miracle for her, and lucas who has stood by her since the beginning.
and mike... well. he has will back now, sure, but... things have been different between them for a long time now, even if they're both trying their best to be how they were before. and before then, will obviously was in california, not returning his calls or reaching out, making mike feel like he'd lost him for good.
so... all that being said, it's not that surprising that mike is the way he is: riddled with abandonment issues, wanting to be needed, immediately apologizing whenever he dares to open up, inclined to give others the protection and comfort no one's ever given him, prone to jealousy and possessiveness, unable to be completely and wholly honest about what troubles him, not exactly the most open to new people, and someone with appallingly low self-esteem.
you know how they say people that are drowning don't always look like they're drowning? that's mike.

Why. WHY is it that such a big part of the fandom and even Kodaka himself think that Yomi sending F-Zilch on that train mission is a testament of him seeing him as expendable cause he died or something. Does nobody except me in this fandom know what a hitman is? Let me. tell you. He was put on that express so he could hit men, which is his job, then leave. He got sent out there because he had a job to do, which was to kill people which he has done several times before and succeeded. "oooo but it was too dangerous :((" yes that is in the job it's generally considered to be pretty dangerous to try and efficiently kill people. And it definitely wasn't dangerous at all to F-Zilch because he fucking succeeded, EVERYTHING went according to plan and he would have returned home the same had Yuma not used his creature. Something which nobody could literally account for? If Shinigami didn't Shinigami all over then literally nothing would have happened to F-Zilch. The ch0 mission was not some elaborate scheme to brutally get rid of F-Zilch, the point of it was to. kill. the. Detectives. And WHY, I am asking on my arms and knees sobbing and shaking, would Yomi want to dispose of one of his most loyal little henchmen and """""one of his most trusted advisors"""" like even if we go the route of "Yomi disney villain that hates everybody equally and loves crimes and causing misery for everyone around him with zero goal in mind whatsoever" that people love to believe for some reason despite the game saying otherwise and implying several other infinitely more interesting reasons as why he's Like That, but whatever: why would he not want to keep that extremely fucking useful guy. Please. Please. But more importantly the above Amaterasu Express point because I feel like I'm losing my goddamn mind the pain never ends

actually re my "locus being a foil to wash makes no sense" post, you know who would've made an absolutely fantastic foil to wash? felix.
wash and felix are far more similar to one another than wash and locus ever were, I mean they're both charismatic extroverts who are able to make friends wherever they go (or at the very least, they're both very good at making people lower their guards so they're not perceived as threats and are able to assimilate themselves into established social circles very well) with that charismatic persona hiding the darkness and brutality that exists beneath the surface (wash's violent anger issues and inability to let things go, felix being well. you know).
I mean when felix and locus hijacked the tartarus (that's the name of the prison ship w sharkface and price right?) when locus announced it to the prisoners and all he got in response was a "and who the fuck are you?" and felix said "maybe let the people person handle this"? that whole scene felt very reminiscent of wash playing mediator between carolina and the bgc in s10, specifically that scene near the beginning where carolina is trying to get the bgc to "sync" with her and after complete silence from the bgc wash had to go "oh when she says that, just say sync" comes to mind.
and I mean you cannot convince me that tucker didn't latch onto felix like he did because he portrayed himself as the perfect mix between church's self absorbed asshole bitchy-ness and wash's snark riddled genuine care and earnesty—like come on, COME ON!!
even the fake rivalry and history between felix and locus being felix's cover story for fighting on chorus could very easily be applied to wash and his drive and desire to take down the meta and pfl back in s6 imo.
tldr; felix should've been wash's foil on chorus and locus should've been carolina's
