We had gotten so used to Mikey+Leatherhead. ;_; I mean, yeah, the age difference became really awkward after the temporal differential, but they've been such a great romantic fit. Maybe this thing with Renet will just be a youthful teenage infatuation, and perhaps it'll even be one-sided.

I don't know how you came up with that idea... Mikey never loved Leatherhead that way.

It's now days trend to make friends into lovers.^^ Actually, yeah, he did. Thread:89076 analyzes it in depth, complete with visual aids. They are consistently far too romantic with each other to be in a mere platonic relationship. Even my 71-year-old dad took one look at the sleeping-and-spooning scene and it was a complete no-brainer&mdash;two people past puberty don't do that unless they're either in love or having some kind of intimate relationship. Make no mistake&mdash;Mikey and Leatherhead are tripping viewer gaydar like a fire alarm. Mikey may be genuinely bisexual and have chemistry with Renet, but the Mikeyhead ship has already long since sailed and cannot be ignored in context. The question is, if they're going to give Mikey a new romantic interest in Renet, how are they going to handle Mikey and Leatherhead from then on? People move on to love new people all the time, but if they don't handle this appropriately, they could end up offending a lot of viewers.

Anyway, if you have a reply in relation to Mikey and Renet, reply here. But if you have a reply only in relation to Mikey and Leatherhead, you should probably reply in the thread I linked. Don't want to go too far off-topic here. :)
