Owens literally says he thinks el may be "the cure" to fixing hawkins/incapacitating vecna.

But idk... I just find it suspish Will is the one with "the cure" poster in his room, and not El. Hmm... Dustin in s4 "God,we need Will". 🧐

This is reminding me of how I pointed out El (is actually atreyu) and Will (sebastian) in s3/ Neverending story. Everyone verbally states atreyu is the " chosen one" to save their world from darkness- like el in s3. Both el and atreyu are heroes . But It was revealed at the end it was actually sebastian- the kid with the bowl cut who would destroy the darkness from overunning their world . The 2 kids also had a psychic link. The darkness was caused by sebastian's own grief and pain/immagination . Will starts singing the "Neverending story" song in s4.

Also ....

El in s2 is paralleled to luke- being trained by kali (yoda) to lift a train (ship) using one-handed telekensis. And el/ luke is the " our best/ last hope". But the other option was their force sensitive sibling (who no one realized also had powers). We even had Will paralleled to Leia at the end of s1. We also had henry and Will both be called - "sensitive" by a parent- cough "force sensitive" /born with powers.

To be fair... Will said they'd "fix it together" so ...maybe they're both the cure?

I want luke and Leia superpowered twin vibes. I want El/Will to both use their powers + teamwork (with their friends) to end vecna.

really excited to see what the Duffers are planning to do with Will next season— its going to be insanee

Will Can’t Remember His Childhood Very Well

This is something I’ve been theorizing for a while, but I didn’t realize until upon rewatch that they tell us this in the show. It’s been there in plain sight the whole time and I’ve picked up on it until now.

It happens during the Jonathan and Will talk in Surfer Boy Pizza:

Jonathan is sharing the story about Larry the Lego man and Will can’t remember. Or he does, but it’s just vaguely.

They then emphasize that Jonathan does remember it very well.

And yeah okay, not many people can remember their childhoods very well, but this is also a television show where things that are written often have deeper meanings and dual purposes.

Will doesn’t ever have a moment where he says “Oh yeah, I remember now.” Instead he actually claims that Jonathan is just speaking bullshit.

Yes I know that this scene wasn’t orginally in the script and was added later, but that isn’t a valid argument to disuade it’s importance because the fact of the matter is, it’s still a scene in the show. The creative process is interesting that way. Things can change every step of the way. It doesn’t make it any less intentional.

And then you combine this with NINA, the importance of memories in the last season, birthdaygate, twelvegate, Henry’s connection to Will, it’s safe to say that Will’s foggy memory of his childhood is written in for a reason, and this will be crucial in season 5.

omg that’s actually genius– El’s letter talking about time is definitely related to next season

I haven't seen anyone talk about this

s4e1 opening with el’s letter she was telling mike how time moves funny. Emotions changes its speed. Could it be foreshadowing on how they travel through time in s5?? I love the theory where will’s emotions affects the ud. It’d be soooo cool if he could warp time with his emotions omg. Maybe el too.

ok but this part of copy of a copy of a copy gets me every time- it's so sad but so beautiful.

It's a copy of a copy of a copy

Duncan James | Blue

"For me it was a really hard thing to do to come out, coming from a boyband, a world where you have a lot of female fans."

"There was a lot of pressure from the record company, I didn't want to let the boys down so I kept my mouth shut."

Jonathan Knight | NKOTB

"I was a young kid in the New Kids and I had CBS, my manager, all these people telling me 'You can't let anyone know you're gay. If you let the world know you’re gay, you're gonna ruin your career, you're gonna ruin your manager’s career, CBS is going to lose money on record sales.' It was just so much on my shoulders as a young kid."

"Knight says he never hid his sexuality, but was pressured to keep quiet to maintain the boy band’s heartthrob image"

Mark Feehily | Westlife

"I was playing this boyband character and was all smiles and Smash Hits used to ask 'what's your favourite kind of girl?' and I was answering them thinking 'Oh my God this is so cringe but if I don't I might draw attention to myself'. The danger is, when the character becomes too far apart from the reality and for me, that's what happened"

"It was the beginning of a lonely situation, I was surrounded by family and friends but there was this one part of me that was lonely because there was no one I could share it with."

"it was 'very scary' coming out as gay two decades ago while shooting to fame with the boy band."

Ricky Martin | Menudo

I was a closeted gay man who was making my partners hide," he said. Some of his partners had gone "back into the closet" on his behalf"

"Many people told me: 'Ricky it's not important', 'it's not worth it', 'all the years you've worked and everything you've built will collapse', 'many people in the world are not ready to accept your truth, your reality, your nature'."

Lance Bass | Nsync

"I thought if I had come out, NSYNC would be over. So I kept my secret."

" I terrified of the lasting rejection — I was certain that that would happen — but more than that I didn’t want to jeopardize the careers of these guys up here, much less the hundreds of amazing people who worked tirelessly to bring NSYNC to the world.”

"I’d see so many young, gay fans singing their hearts out and I wanted so badly to let you know, I was you. I just didn’t have the strength then"

Stephen Gately | Boyzone

"Being in a boyband and being gay, nobody had come out, it was just not the thing to do. It would have been management and stuff, it was all swept under the carpet. There’s an understanding among celebrities, or whatever you want to call it, but he was meant to be dating Baby Spice and all that." - Shane Lynch, band member

"What happened was, we were on tour and he got a phone call to say that the press was going to run with a story on him. He was distraught. They said to him, ‘Look, you can tell your story, or we’re going to print our story’. It nearly destroyed him.  It really nearly destroyed him" Shane Lynch, band member

"Even Louis Walsh – who didn’t know about Gately’s sexuality when he formed Boyzone – admitted it would have made him think twice about including him in the group. He later said ‘it wasn’t cool then to have a gay guy in a band’."

"Despite the entertainment industry having a long track record of LGBT+ acceptance, there were few publicly gay figures at the time. In particular, music industry insiders warned boyband members not to come out, for fear of alienating female fans who may have a crush on them"

“Like I might take you out for pizza this weekend,” Will offered, “if you’re not too annoying.” “Exactly.” Nico’s smile was a bit of winter sun breaking between snow flurries.

Will created the mindflayer & Upsidedown theory

I wanted to explore this theory again after the recent release of “Will byers: secret files” (which is Will’s cannon journal). Essentially, to keep a very long story short.El opened the “door” to Will’s mind and unleashed the repressed memories of his father. That manifested into the upside down-  and all the monsters that inhabit it. So lets begin.

Will has always been hinted to have powers.

In the 1st episode, Will wins Dustin’s xmen comic in a bet- and Dustin later asks the gang “Do you think Eleven was born with powers like the xmen?” While in the last ep of s1 (when Will returns) Dustin says to him “she’s like a wizard.” COUGH ‘Will the wise’ , Will’s alter-ego who happens to be wizard.  Mike even corrects Dustin and says she’s not a wizard. So the fact that Dustin’s Gf references Wizard stories relating to Will is kind of brilliant!Her room references 2 stories Wizard of Oz and A wizard of Earthsea.

In ‘the Wizard of Oz’- the land of Oz (the upsidedown) was a figment of Dorothy’s (Will’s) imagination. 

-‘A wizard of Eathsea’- Is about a male wizard Ged (Will) who casts a powerful spell, but the spell goes awry and instead he releases a shadow creature! The new Archmage, Gensher, describes the shadow as an ancient evil that wishes to possess Ged. But the ‘shadow’ turns out  to be a representation of the darkest aspects of his personality.

-‘Never ending story’( the song susie sang , from the movie of the same title)- In the story the land of Fantasia represents humanity’s imagination and is thus without boundaries. However ‘the Nothing’ (the upside down) which has taken over Fantasia is a manifestation of the loss of hopes and dreams. The monster even bites Atreyu (El’s) leg. An Empress later tells Bastian (Will) that as he follows Atreyu’s (El’s) story, “others” (El/atreyu and the rest of the st cast) are following Bastian’s (Will’s), making them all part of the neverending story. And that they were all wrong - atreyu isn’t the chosen one, but sebastian (the human with the power of imagination, a bowl cut, single parent household, and who in the novel temporarily went evil after losing his memories)- aka Will.

-‘Suspicious Minds’ (ST prequel novel)- a psychic character named Alice, says “Monsters…of course my brain has them.”As long as they stayed in there, everything would be all right. “Wouldn’t it?”

-‘Montauk Project’- The original title for Stranger things was “Montauk”- in reference to the Montauk Project. It was about experiments conducted on psychic children, where the scientists would “break” them psychologically to strengthen their powers and to program them. In one of the stories there was a boy named Duncan who could “open portals to other dimensions and periods of time” . However, one day “Duncan let loose a monster from his subconscious.”

Will created everything the demorgorgan, the mindflayer,demodogs, etc- and his ‘story’ is very susceptible to other peoples’ suggestions . In the 1st episode Mike said demogorgan was attracted to blood- so when Will created it in real life, that was what it was attracted to. He also always asks his friends what he should do when facing the d&d monsters (the demorgorgan & thessalhydra) - and both times they suggested “fire balling it”  (which is all the upside-down creatures’ weakness). In S1 Jonathan/Nancy/Steve light the demogorgan on fire. In S2 they burn the mindflayer out of Will, and burn the vines. S3 they throw fireworks (fireballs) at the monster the mindflayer created. And in the 1st ep Will is captured by the demogorgan (in the game) so he was captured in real life.

In s2 , the gang read (in Will’s d&d manual) that mindflayers (the representation of his abusive dad/the thesalhydra shown at the end of s1) could be killed by zombies. Will was dubbed zombie boy in s2, and in s3 watches ‘day of the dead’ (a movie about zombies) and then writes a story about juju zombies. Will says in his d&d story “it bites your arm, flesh tears- aaaah!” But instead it bites El’s leg as she screams “ah!” as Mike rips it off her leg. Than the victims of the mindflayer turn into zombies and become ‘the thing’. Because when Will’s writing his d&d story he’s sitting right next to Mike’s ‘the thing ‘ poster. And when talking to Nancy & Jonathan he describes them as “those things”. In will’s journal it is also said ‘the thing’ is one of his fav movies.

In s3, Lucas and Mike even debate which version of the film is better- so obviously the whole gang (including Will) has seen it. And in s2, he lies to his mom and says the mindflayer sketch was ‘for a story he’s writing’. But unbeknownst to him, that’s what is actually happening. We even see in s2, the demorgogans become “demo-dogs” after his dog died between seasons 1-2. And in Will’s cannon journal he says he understands why Dustin is attached to it - since it reminds him of Chester (his dead dog) that he misses. In s1 Hopper even mentions the book Cujo about a violent dog, after that dog dies the owner even get a new dog named ‘Willie’.

However, s3 truly reveals how powerful he is. Because it’s not just monsters he creates . But he can alter reality itself (without a monster having to do it). When Mike hijacks Will’s d&d story saying ‘they’ll torch the chambers, sacrificing themselves killing the juju ’. Will gets angry and yells “Fine, you win.” And then Joyce and Hopper do just that- when they pull the lever, and Hopper ‘dies’ sacrificing himself, and the Russians literally are eviscerated.

And In s2 Nancy describes the mindflayer (but she’s actually describing Will).

“So this thing is like a brain that’s controlling everything.”

Hopper then says “So how do we kill this thing shoot it with fireballs?”

And Dustin says “ No, No, fireballs you summon an undead army.”

But Mike actually nails it on the head when he says, “If the brain dies the body dies … closing the gate will kill him(referring to Will).”

Because it’s not the mindflayers’ brain - it’s Will’s brain!

Will has a lot of powers and one is lightning/fire powers. And he accidentally created the mindflayer (since it represents the repressed memories of his abusive father and also the d&d creatures/stories) . So the reason the MF has lightning powers is because Will does.

In s2 we see the scientists investigating electronics being burned in the upside down. Similar to Joyce’s phones and the radio at school which was burnt in s1.Will caused the radio at the school to catch fire (not El). The U.S gov goes to the school-to verify it wasn’t a natural cause and then they go straight to Will’s house. Brenner even goes into the Byers’ shed and says “spectacular”- similar to how he referred to El killing those men as “incredible”. And we know the mindflayer is also associated with lightning/storms (but that’s only because it’s one of Will’s other abilities). When Hopper sees Joyce’s phone he even says “storm bq-ed this pretty good.“ And in s2 a scientist said the same phrase while in the upside down. Showing a correlation between Will and the mindflayer.

In the comic we see electricity come out of Will’s hands. And he drew his wizard character with lightning (BEFORE) he went to the upside down.  And in the comic he also gets the lights to flick (from another dimension) by closing his eyes and concentrating. Like Joyce said in the show Will did ‘blink once for yes twice for no’.

Then in Will’s cannon journal “Will byers: secret files”. We see Will draw himself with lightning. Will doesn’t consciously realize he created the monsters/upside down- but he is subconsciously aware he can manipulate lights and has electric abilities.

He draws his d&d character on a cloud with lightning and says how he can relate to El “having power like this… it can separate you. Make you feel alone. I think I know how she feels.”

Will in his journal even draws the mind flayer with red lightning, and later  uses red paper to sketch clouds/lightning and pastes a picture of himself on to it. Because deep in his subconscious (along with the memories of his father- he realizes he created the mf). And Joyce even describes the tunnels he draws as “like lightning.”

Will (like El) has a lot of powers:  Lightning/fire powers, seeing into the future/scrying/ intuition, mind control, creating things from his imagination/altering reality, shadow-walking/opening portals, techno-pathy, and remote viewing.

Will says he’s a wizard ( writing on a music tape in s3 “will the wise-wizard mix’ and having his password for castle byers be ‘rhadaghast’- a lotr wizard). The way they describe d&d Wizards matches Will/mf perfectly “Wizards are adepts and magicians who combine according to the type of their spells. Relying on the subtle weaves of magic that permeate the universe, wizards are able to create spells of explosive fire, sparking lightning, subtle deception, and gross mind control. Their magic summons monsters from other planes of existence, predicts the future, and turns defeated enemies into zombies. Their most powerful spells can transform one substance into another, summon meteors from the sky, and open portals to other worlds”

We also see Will has been associated with bears (along with 3 other animal symbols associated with other psychics- Terry, El, and Kali).Bears symbolically represent “wisdom” like ‘Will the wise’. Wicca even means ‘wisdom’. and in the show they are associated with the demorgorgan/upside down in s1 and 2 . Max and Nancy both compared demorgorgans to bears- and Nancy and Jonathan used a bear-trap to capture the demorgorgan in s1.

So when El tries to grab Will’s teddy bear (it was shown to be his in s1) with her powers. And Mike says ���they’ll come back”. They might actually ‘come back’- but now be within Will. Since in d&d mindflayers have telekinesis (which we haven’t seen) and the mf may have taken them .

Percy and Nico Friendship HCs

THEY ARE FRIENDS 

We Know that Percy and Nico have a super rocky history and it’s taken a long time for them to learn to trust each other

So after the giant war and after they got over the awkwardness of Nico admitting his past crush they can FINALLY just be normal friends

And listen they care about each other SO MUCH but they’ve put each other through so much shit that they Would Not Hesitate to deck each other at any opportunity

Percy: *walks into a room*

Nico: *Cain instinct activates* oh I guess I have to end you now

Percy helps Nico get caught up on pop culture stuff. Once a week they’ll just take a day to watch movies, binge tv shows, and listen to music. It’s a good bonding experience for them

Percy is bi and This Is Canon. I think it would be funny if he came out right after Nico came out to him

Nico: SO YOU’RE TELLING ME I HAD A CHANCE THIS WHOLE TIME????

Percy: NO YOU DIDN’T YOU’RE LIKE 8

The more time Nico spends around Percy the more he wonders how he was ever in love with this bitch

Nico: you’re insufferable and I hate you

Percy: you’re the one who had a crush on me :/

Nico: it was a lapse in judgement

Percy gives Nico his old band shirts that he grew out of. Nico has no idea who most of them are but he appreciates the gesture

A List Of Things That Percy Has Called Nico: Raccoon boy, Zuko kinnie, Hot Topic regular, Skeletor, dollar-store Gerard Way,

Overall I like to think that they have that dynamic of “I genuinely love you a lot but if someone gave me a dollar to suplex you through a table I would not hesitate”

[rosessink]

I know this is bad but I love percy too much and I had to do this

drawing with fingers it's so more difficult than it looks like-

[rosessink]

Reyna grabbed Nico’s hand and pulled him gently into the firelight. ‘We had one home,’ she said. ‘Now we have two.’ She gave Nico a big hug and the crowd roared with approval. For once, Nico didn’t feel like pulling away. He buried his face in Reyna’s shoulder and blinked the tears out of his eyes.

-the Blood of Olympus

So I was listening to “There’s a Place For Us” by Carrie Underwood while drawing this and it’s perfect.
