Mike x Lewis~ A Moodboard

I had a long, fairly coherent reasoning behind this tbh, but I lost it. Basically, I’m trash for queer characters, I’m trash for ignoring obvious deaths, and I firmly believe that these two losers would be the mlm to gailca’s wlw.

But just. They’re so similar?? Nerds?? Flying nerds?? Scruffy nerds with hints of tasteful grey?? Smart nerds??Close to Erica nerds?? I need them to date, I’m sorry. But I’m not. Because just imagine; Mike (not dead bc no writer is actually that CRUEL omg) and Lewis bonding over crazy Pat stories. Lewis meeting Mike for the first time and his first impression is all ‘oh so this is where all of Tandy’s common sense went’ bc mike’s looking all normal and adult-y, drinking tea and wearing those dork ass reading glasses, but half an hour later and Mike is chasing Tandy trying to give him a wet Willie or dumping salt into Tandy’s coffee or Smth and poor Lewis is just ‘dear god no.’ Thought he was getting a reasonable adult to bond with, ended up with another immature dweeb of a Miller to keep alive. It’d def be like the slowest burn to ever slow burn bc Lewis is still hurting for Mark and Mike’s got that whole internalized homophobia deal to work out (big sideplot in this fic I will never write is just a shit ton of Mike and Tandy fixing their relationship and working out all their issues) but they can take as long as they want bc the world is over #yolo. Honestly just humor me for a second. Picture them in bed, coordinating but not matching pajamas, wearing reading glasses, and reading in complete silence. Occasionally one will look up and smile at the other. Both are warm and happy and not dead, unconfirmed or otherwise. Double wedding with gailca bc they besties.

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH

I was gonna make a meme once that went

*small brain* Mike is alive
*bigger brain* Lewis is alive
*expanding brain* Mike AND Lewis are alive and DATING

but I thought that was pointless because there was no way in hell anyone else shipped it! BUT THEY DO!

Last Man On Earth Writers On Why Lewis Took Flight

“At the same time, we know comedies use “crazy” in a really irresponsible way. What happens when you’re laughing at a typical sitcom-crazy character is you’re willfully ignoring the reality of a heartbreaking illness.”

*thumbs up*

If the plan was always that Lewis died to show “death always wins” (sigh) I’m glad he ended up with a quick and painless death rather than the slow and horrible one Gail almost got. AM I actually glad? (he is after all still dead)….I guess?

 

Man I really am so disappointed about that. I know what sort of show this is, and I know Kenneth Choi probably never planned to stick around for long anyway (what with the MCU and a new pilot* on his plate) but killing off one of television’s very few gay Asian men just to drive a point home about the lack of hope, it’s just…. not good. And every awkward joke at his funeral scene just fell terribly flat for me.

It’s not cool when Walking Dead does it and it’s not cool when TLMOE does it! What happened to my soft apocalypse? The only silver lining is that he was fridged in favour of Erica, I suppose.

*pun not intended, sigh
