The way Billy acts in the Holloway house mirrors how he acted when he was around Karen in that same season.

We don't ever see teen Billy's real smile, except for when he's on the court.

This smile is relaxed and carefree.

For example, his smiles here are all fake. Forced. There's an overly polite expression he wears, and it's shown in how he talks, too.

In both cases:

his facial expressions are controlled, except they're caused by different things.

he's been put in a position where he has his autonomy stripped from him.

his eyes look like they're screaming for help.

His job and car are two things that grant him what he cannot get at his house (which would be some freedom and control of his environment/himself). Karen takes that away from him, and so does the Mind Flayer. She shows up at his work with her friends and preys on him. He drives to meet her and gets caught in another predator's web.

And after, when he's driving his car, he's no longer behind the wheel. It's his car, and he has to sit there while he's being taken control of.

"You're pretty new at this whole relationship thing, huh?"

"... Yeah."

Okay, so I’ve had a thought. When Teruko and Ace talk near the elevator in chapter 1, Ace lists off various fears he has. And some of them are normal, like spiders. Or sharp things in general (That one I could make an angsty theory about, but carrying a knife across the kitchen gives me a strangely high amount of anxiety so honestly I kind of understand). But the third one sorta mystified me.

Now, this line could simply be for comedic effect, since it’s so strangely specific compared to spiders and sharp things. And it is kinda relatable, I constantly worry about getting run over when crossing the street.

But I had an idea. My idea has no evidence and is basically a shot in the dark, but I wanted to share it.

Ace used to have a friend named Taylor. They aren’t friends anymore, and most people theorize he and Ace had a falling out, or Taylor died.

I bet you can see where I’m going with this. What if that was what happened to Taylor? A hit-and-run of sorts. That would explain why it’s one of the first fears Ace thinks of, since I’m sure something like that would scar you forever.

But again. I have no evidence, it’s just a random thought I had and wanted to share.

SUPER DARK TIMES (2017) DIR KEVIN PHILLIPS

[givehimthemedicine]

not to get the morbs on main but do you ever just sit with how incredibly sad "Goodbye, Mike" is? that little El is that ready to sacrifice herself?

the fact that she paused to say goodbye means she expected to die, or at least to get incapacitated and recaptured, which is also extremely sad. I lean towards thinking she didn't know she'd disappear to the UD.

I still don't get what exactly is happening when she does That to Henry and the demogorgon, but regardless, she seems to think it's killing ("if you touch her again I will kill you again") so I don't get the impression that she's aware getting transported is a possible outcome (she doesn't remember '79 in '83). she's already drained from killing the agents and doesn't have the option to recharge, and I think she accepts that the exertion necessary to kill the demogorgon will be more than she can survive.

El has spent a week hearing that Will is important, finding Will is what really matters. and of course she gets the idea Will is more important than she is. he is loved. this is El's first lesson in what that even looks like. this boy is sorta like her real-world counterpart - she's occupying his space in his world, and she's getting a glimpse at what it looks like for a kid her age to be a person, loved and missed, and not just a thing with a serial number on it that its owner wants back.

for that week, El is important because Will is important.

nobody has ever valued anything about El except what she can do with her powers, so she thinks her only value to the party and Joyce is in her usefulness in finding Will, or protecting them. tbh they didn't do a ton to challenge that assumption in season 1 in ways that would be clear to her (not that they had any idea of her experience).

"but the hug at the quarry!" yeah I love it, but she had just saved their lives. even though hugs are nice and she never got them at the lab, she still could think it's because she did something for them. "Joyce hugs her at the end of the bath!" one of the best moments in the series, but again, El had just done something for Joyce. that may be the only motive she sees for it. maybe it's all just lab taffy. what affection has anyone given El that doesn't look to her like part of an exchange or a reward for performance?

El's willingness to sacrifice herself isn't just about loving her new friends and wanting to protect them but like. by that time, she'd done all she could on the Will mission. he's Schrodinger'd at this point, it doesn't even matter the outcome. he's either irretrievable or being retrieved, either way, now that she's served her purpose she's of no further value to them.

if that's her impression, is she proven wrong? while she's still vulnerable from submitting herself to a triggering, exhausting experience to help them, Hopper betrays her location to Brenner in exchange for a longshot chance at finding Will.

(Yeah I know his options were limited and of course he's gonna be more committed to helping Will because he has a longtime relationship with Joyce. but. an authority figure handing a horribly abused child back to her abusers after she trusted him for help does not make me a big Hopper fan, even if he planned to try to doublecross them later. "I'll tell you where your little science experiment is" please.)

but as hurtful as Hopper's trade is, the saddest part is that El is willing to make a very similar one herself. it's more important for Will and these people to have each other back than for her to try to have her freedom. she wouldn't want what's been stolen from her to be stolen from anyone else. it's better for her to be the one that goes away, to make it safe for all of them. she has no one to miss her, not how Will does.

I have to wonder if the way she killed the demogorgon ("killed" "the demogorgon") was the only way she could've gone about it. like, she didn't try to snap its neck first or anything. her Plan A is a method that jeopardizes her own life.

does she see a future for herself in the outside world? one where she isn't forever hunted, and a constant danger to her friends? one that doesn't dead end back in the lab, under crueler conditions than ever before? is that a life she hopes to survive for?

imagine if ST really ended up being an anthology, and all she went out with was one resigned little "Goodbye, Mike" and we never found out any more about it. I would be in an institution

My list of parallels between Back to the Future and Twinkling Watermelon continues to grow btw! I just noticed while rewatching tonight that Marty and Eun Gyeol both have an accident, pass out, and then wake up at their teenage mother’s house.

MM Raph Don - Fatal Blow Meme

"Raph...c'mon Raph, get up...you gotta get up," Don begged softly, gently shaking their shoulder, "You're not gonna let Superfly stop you huh? Gonna let him stop you from being friends with humans! Come on Raph you can take down anything!"

This was the part in one of his animes where the hero grits their teeth and gets up, where they snap and suddenly everything makes sense and they can take down everything without a problem.

...But Donatello knows this isn't an anime. This isn't some show or movie.

"Raph...? Please...?"

| My character takes a fatal blow intended for your character. How does your character react?

It was just so sudden. A bright orange flash before the actual sound of the explosion hit his ears. Raph felt his body just rag doll and roll till the ground finally seemed to catch him and stopped his roll. The horn of the semi truck when Superfly kicked it he swore was just stuck in his head as he lied there. Everything looked like a disator movie right now everything was on fire people were screaming and running. Cars were turned over building parts were just scattered all over the place. Raphael was trying his best to gather his bearings. How did everything go bad so fast they were really living out their hero dream just moments before. Them and all the mutants who were on Superfly's side gathered together walking into the city already in chaos. Just a big grand face off that was meant to end the second Raph made the shot. Only to get a lame horse off Superfly's leg. Seriously one horse! Then what happened? an explosion he thinks right?

Raphael moved to sit up his head was throbbing and he kept hearing this loud ringing sound. Trying to open his eyes didn't help all that much as he looked around everything was just a blurry mess, these blob like objects moving around it was hard to tell the difference between the different blobs other than being pretty sure someone them must be humans since they seemed to be moving around. Raphael took a moment to rub at the side of his head he had to shake this off he needed to get back up on his feet. Hand feeling out for something beside him. Turning he tried to focus on it, looked like building rumble, grasping at a pipe or maybe it was those metal support rods. To use as a way to pull him self up on to his legs.

"Come Raph" The red banded turtle says to himself trying to build up the motivation. Looking up from where he stood he tried looking for anyone near by, vision still blurry and the ringing wasn't letting up. He didn't see any of the other mutants, or April even, worse he couldn't see Splinter or any of his brothers. Where were they did they get that blow far apart? Did he?

The thundering sound of Superflys voice was the first sound he seemed able to distinguished. As he turned to look up the blob was more fuzzy now but far easier to make out. Suddenly Raphael was so confident about how they were going to take him down. He was so big. He was like the monsters in those Godzilla movies, and them? Fuck him? Sure he was tough he was strong even. But how was he meant to fight against that? Raphael saw something flying in towards him, "wingnut?" He was pretty sure it was, they looked like a bat. Only for Superfly to smash her in to the towering building beside him. As if he were just swatting at some fly. That was all they were to him.

"Fuck." Raph looked down trying to just think but his mind felt so damn loud between the ringing in his ears, and the sudden wave of fear. It was like being caught in a whirlpool.

Mikey

Raph lifted up his head finally able to hear the sound of one of his brothers voices, over the mess going on around them. Turning to it he could see a blur moving, squinting his eyes he could just barely make out who it was, it was Donnie. Limping forward, if he was calling out to Mikey he should be fine too right? Yeah. So Leo had to be near by too he and Don ran in the same direction.

Donnie!

Raph heard the warning call in Mikey's own voice as he looked back to Superfly watching them fling another car. Fist started to pound against his thigh trying to beat the muscle under his scales to start moving. As he starting to run towards Donnie slamming in against his twin was the best he could do to get him out of the way, taking cover behind an over turned car. It was hard to say who was more shocked by his sudden save between him, and Mikey. But man was it good to see their faces only better when Leo seemed to find them as well. They all got up to peer over the top of their cover Leo giving the slight suggestion of just having to wait out for Superfly to run out of cars he could use to throw at them. And just their luck he was next to a parking garage.

Just their luck uh? They all took to running Raph looked back and gestured for Mikey to move on ahead of him as he noticed how Donnie seemed to be dragging back. He must have hurt his leg, he was limping before? Raph slowed his pace so he could get behind his twin. Placing a hand on to the back of their shell. Knowing it would only hand strain but they didn't really have the luxury of just taking their time. Donnie needed to move, Mikey was doing fine and so was Leo. If they kept moving they could get away. They wouldn't get hurt, so Raph set both hands on to the back of Donnie's shell pushing him to match the pace of their brothers as they were moving to round the nearest corner. Well more cars just seemed to come flying. Why were Donnie and Mikey pointing out what type of car they were now wasn't the time! Raphael risked a look behind them seeing more cars coming, as he turned to look back Leo and Mikey already got around the corner but Donnie was still moving too slow! Pushing him wasn't enough. A push!

Raphael didn't think past that as he planted his feet to the asphalt and pushed with everything he had in him to send Donnie flying towards Leo and Mikey. Ready to follow after them till something slammed into him. Worse than the explosion, where he felt like he was just rolling. No this took him ripped him from where he was stood. Raphael couldn't even really feel it? He should be able to feel the force of a car right? Body rolled into the street again as he found himself lying there just stuck.

"ugh" Was all he could voice. Now he felt it, everything was screaming in pain, a crushing weight just bearing down on him.

"Raph...c'mon Raph, get up...you gotta get up,"

Raph turned to look at Donnie not even sure when they got to him, only feeling them shake at his shoulder. Least he got Donnie out of the way, looking to find the car that hit him was right on top of him. Explained the crushing part. Fuck it hurt, it hurt so bad and all Raph wanted todo was close his eyes. Helped before when he get hurt the just sleep it off wake up and be fine. Maybe his body just got used to that method. They didn't have much so he didn't like dipping into their first aid supplies or worse worrying Splinter.

"You're not gonna let Superfly stop you huh? Gonna let him stop you from being friends with humans! Come on Raph you can take down anything!"

He knows that! He just needs a second he's sure he can get this car off of him maybe. But he can't even move.

"Raph...? Please...?"

"I'm trying!" Raph bites at the air it hurt to talk, of course he wanted that it was all any of them wanted to get the humans to like them! So they wouldn't have to hide away like this anymore. Go to school, maybe Raph would finally meet someone out there who just got him and understood him. Someone who just took how he was and liked it about him. Liked that he a brute who lived for action. Who he could open up towards even because they would have his side without being all 'you got anger issues' or 'you need therapy' fuck them he didn't. Just meet people that liked the stuff he liked? Maybe even just one? Raphael tried lifting his arms blindly putting them on the car hes not even sure if he was pushing. The ground under him started to shake Superfly was coming this way.

He looked back to Donnie eyes wide, scared. He knows he told them he didn't want their faces to be the last he saw when he died. As he looked just past Donnie over towards where Leo and Mikey were. But at the same time he couldn't think of anyone else he wanted to see most in this time. Raph grit his teeth, "Go!" He managed to yell course Donnie didn't want to leave him, once more Raph just tried weakly to push at Donnie. "Jus' go!" please, he could bear himself dying and missing out on all of that life the four of them wanted more than anything. But he couldn't bear bringing any of them with him. Just begging over and over in his mind as he kept weakly pressing the palm of his hand against Donnie's leg to move. As the shaking of the ground got worse and worse the car over Raph shook and just pressed in more over him.

"FUCKING MOVE DONNIE!" Raph finally yelled unsure if Donnie did move or got pulled away, all he could hear was the rumbling. Keeping his eyes closed tightly. He didn't want to see Superfly he wanted to think of his brothers. All the nights going out 'shopping'. Jumping on the roof tops, sneaking out to see concerts or movies together. Yeah it sucked crouch and hide from humans to live in the sewers where they wouldn't be seen. But they at least had each other, always had each other. R. Its all he focused on even when the weight on the car had the add pressure of Superflys foot place on to it. Raphael could feel his shell starting to crack as it lowered more and more. Still he kept his eye closed and gritted his teeth. He focused on slicing watermelons. On pizza parties. And then it was like the world was silent.

Raphael was suddenly pushing his way into Donnie's tent throwing himself on to the mattress they had in there. Ignoring his twins annoyance. As he peeked an eye open at last. The yell tent filled with all of Donnie's nerdy shit, his drawings and stickers before looking to the screen. Pretending he wasn't totally watching the show Donnie was interested in. Didn't seem so bad he guessed, "They make anime off of sports?" Was his only question before Donnie started to ramble on and Raph regretted asking but still he softly smiled to himself.
