people who think will byers hates himself for being gay when will byers is one of the very few characters on the show that has refused to change himself to fit anyone else's idea of what he should be despite the fact that people, including his own father, have been harassing, bullying, and abusing him for it literally his entire fucking life are just...... so weird.

will's entire POINT is that he will survive and brave whatever you throw his way against all odds and come out on the other side of it still clutching on to his sense of self and hope that tomorrow will be a better day. the entire point of his character is that he loves what he loves without apology or shame.

he sings "that weird song he loves" in the middle of hell because it reminds him of his brother and offers him comfort in a place where there is none. he creates art because he loves it and doesn't care if it isn't something boys do, then he gifts it to his friends because he loves them and wants them to know it, too. he loves dnd and writes campaigns and dresses up for them because they bring him joy and he just wants to spend time with his friends even if they think they're "too cool" for it now.

he knows that sometimes it's harder than it should be to be gay in a homophobic society and has been harassed for that literally his entire fucking life it's LITERALLY how they introduce him to us not even twenty minutes into this fucking show and YET !!!!!!! he doesn't back away from that. ever.

he gets picked on for his clothes, but he doesn't change them. he gets called names, but he doesn't make any attempt to conform. his best friend, the boy that he's in love with and his very first friend ever, tells him it isn't his fault that he doesn't like girls and shamefully asks him if he really thought they were going to play games together in his basement for the rest of their lives and never get girlfriends, and what does will do?

he says yeah. i guess i did. i really did.

will faces all of that and goes to a new place where he has the golden opportunity of a clean slate, and what does he do? when assigned to do a presentation on his hero... he picks alan turing of all people. and when his brother later on tells him that he loves him no matter what, essentially giving him the It's Okay To Be Gay I Love You So Much And Always Will talk, still there is no denial on will's part here either.

will has NEVER, EVER denied being gay. he has NEVER tried to change that part of himself. he has ALWAYS stood tall and braved another day even when it was scary and hard. he has ALWAYS remained true to himself even though that has only ever made his life that much harder.

he said that sometimes he feels like a mistake for being so different from other people, but that being loved and accepted makes him feel like he isn't one at all and like he's better for being different and that gives him the courage to fight on.

literally what the fuck are you guys on about when you talk about will being self-hating for being gay. where is the canonical evidence for that? and more than that, why are you so keen on throwing away all of his acts of bravery and the sheer fucking strength of character that he's had since the very beginning? it would've been so much easier for him to conform, to be the "man" that everyone has always pushed him to be, but he doesn't ever do that. he stays true to himself no matter what. so, again, where the hell are these self-hating receipts?!

fine line review/scream session

under the cut is a very professional, coherent review of the album. its totally not just bullet points i hastily jotted down while listening for the first time, in between staring at a wall because wHAT the FUCK!!! also if its not obvious, there are spoilers in here 

golden: -HEARTBROKEN -very self deprecating -‘I dont wanna be alone’ :( -simple vocals - comfortable register - makes the chorus more impactful -harmonies with himself at the end..yeah boi

cherry: -guitars are super pretty -harmonies. also who tf does it sound like???? idk but i’ll figure it out at some point i guess  -sad boy. sad -me @ camille...girl idk what u just said but go off i guess

falling: -if i could fly piano vibes -HIS VOICE -cant wait to hear that ��again’ live -carrying the self deprecating tone again -seems to be placing most of the blame on himself? -less angry and more sad -the last ‘falling’ where his voice is a bit broken at the end...okay

to be so lonely: -sad banger -’i was just a little boy’ - why do i feel like that was a point of contention - immaturity? -interesting beat and choppy format -like the hard ending - abrupt but good

she:  -jazzy? -pink floyd whomst?  -falsetto chorus YUH -harry + kids - hurts all two of my feelings -woman’s cooler older sister -incredible guitar solo thank u mitchell

sunflower: -we vibin bro -vampire weekend??? -harmonies -‘kiss in the kitchen like its a dancefloor’ *karma got its kiss for me voice* shut UPPPPPPPP  -the gasp -weird ass noises. hm. into it -harry ‘i have done drugs’ styles

canyon moon: -he’s gonna force me to listen to country isnt he -i mean this in the best way… it sounds like a song from a movie soundtrack. like straight out of a romcom -HARMONIES -whimsy -vocal layering? love -incredible production -this vs more of the bare bones ‘band all records in one take’ vibe of hs1, production not too over the top, just enough to make things sonically interesting, for you to go ‘oh whats that bit he’s singing under there’ -very 60s/70s???

tpwk: immediately started laughing at the vocal choir -Yeah Mushrooms -i was afraid that the title would be in the lyrics but its not as bad as i thought it might be -he HAS the range. literally. he’s a singer and he can sing -variable sections - distinct sections - a lot going on in each but not too overwhelming -‘find a place to feel good’ dont make me say it harry

fine line: ……………..here we go -me, checking the length: ‘fuck its six minutes? Bitch’ -bon iver?? - dont hate me but it sounds like its directly from the twilight soundtrack. thats a compliment -‘we’ll be a fine line’ staying friends after breakup? Boundaries??? -‘spreading you open’ ma’am this is a mcdonalds drive thru -boy loves a repeated lyric -starts slow and builds to this really great soaring section -midsommar vibes at the end

anyway fine line is the best song he’s ever written thank u for coming to my ted talk
