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.

THIS

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!

…am I right

#You
know I agree with all of this except Melissa but the problem is no
matter how much I think about it I cannot conclude WHERE she belongs#Like it could be any of them#She’d ABSOLUTELY do any of those just…depends on where she’s At that day#There’s no Wrong place to put her I’m just stumped on how that makes it feel like there’s no Right place to put her?#But
also there being no Wrong place means they’re all the Right place cause
you can’t go wrong so there’s only Right Choices left#Like she’d be ‘We’ve got food at home’ with Tandy no question#Even if she wanted it…she’d deny herself it just to spite him#’No Tandy we’re good’#(I
don’t know why she’s with a character from the show in this scenario
since this is obviously an AU where the apocalypse didn’t happen#(Whatever ungodly force shoves all these people together into the same weird family unit in that universe is terrifying)#Actually no she’d do the coffee one with Tandy what am I even thinking#No way to more finely rub it in than to tempt him with proximity#Anyway
that’s all I got my brain has no more for me but she could be anywhere
on this graph but definitely black coffee w/ Tandy#…Melissa would drop him off at home and go back and get herself a happy meal#I guess they’re neighbours in this scenario cause she eats it outside so he’ll see her from next door and he’ll Know

These are FANTASTIC tags and also heck I got so stuck on Melissa because she’s pragmatic (”We have food at home”) she’s ruthless/kinda mean sometimes (*orders single black coffee and leaves*) AND she’s good with children and would totally take them to McDonalds probably??? And has a childish streak herself?

(I love Complicated Female Characters a looooot I love Melissa)

also these tags remind me of the time when Melissa put that beer juuuust out of Tandy’s reach and left him to dehydrate in the sun which is pretty much torture tactics holy shit Melissa you’re a Problematic Fave

I’m trying to get better because I haven’t been my best.

Finally! I have completed my Last Man on Earth fanvid. It’s set to Frank Turner’s Get Better, which is one of my favourite songs.

It features just about every character (mostly Tandy, admittedly, since he’s the main) and also a whole lotta love for this dumb hopeful show which stole my heart.
