Patty Parallelization: Running Multiple Codes At Once

This may seem like a big, incoherent image-dump, but I promise it has connections to another piece of work. In short: The name Patty/Patrick was such a choice.

A second program, Patrix/Patricia, is a global management and data accessing system:

Why Will Byers?

An analysis and theory on why Henry/Vecna targeted Will first in season 1 and his plans for Will in season 5

‼️Contains The First Shadow (TFS) spoilers so please proceed with caution.‼️

This is going to be a little long but I’ve tried to give as much context as I can without actually being able to show snippets from the stage play. This is my interpretation of everything that went down as a member of the audience and not as someone who has read up any theories about TFS before. To understand why Henry took Will first in 1983, we have to start with -

Henry and Joyce

From all the times I’ve watched TFS, the one thing that has stuck with me is the final conversation Henry has with Joyce. It’s just before his last confrontation with Patty Newby and before he joins Brenner for good. Joyce is the last person (who doesn’t know about Henry’s powers) that he canonically talks to.

Throughout the entire play Joyce, Hopper, and Bob are investigating the animals dying at the hands of Henry and come to the conclusion that Victor Creel has been the one doing the killing. They get so close to solving the case. In her last conversation with Henry, Joyce tries to comfort him by saying that Victor will pay for his crimes - which makes Henry laugh because she’s so close yet so far from the truth. He gets a little frustrated and says something along the lines of “You don’t get it. But someday you will.” (edit 28/9: the exact dialogue is [Henry: you’re too nice. that is how they’ll get you. you have to learn to do anything you can to protect the ones you love] [Joyce: I don’t understand.] [Henry: You will.]) The next time we see Henry make a reappearance in Joyce’s life is during -

The Vanishing of Will Byers

Will is taken into the Upside Down (UD) by Henry. It’s not even a question anymore. All of the context clues from 1x1 lead us to believe that Will’s kidnapping was not by a demogorgon. Will - a 12 year old - miraculously survives a week in the upside down with no food or water. Will is even around the demogorgon a few times in the Upside Down. (Joyce communicating with Will through the lights and then the demogorgon coming after her immediately).

Barb dies the night she is taken but Will stays alive and also somehow manages to talk to Joyce through the wall. Joyce is led exactly to where Will was held at the end of s1 and he makes it out alive. It’s almost as if Henry knew all along that Joyce was the most capable of never giving up on finding her son. Like Henry took Will Byers because he was Joyce’s son. And like he was giving her just enough to know that Will was alive. Even when Joyce and Hopper find him at the end in a state of near death, he’s not injured by a creature. He was being prepared for the next stage of Vecna’s plan -

The Possession of Will Byers

The origins of Henry’s powers happen as such - As a kid, he is transported into the UD (originally coined Dimension X by the government) for a few hours because he touched something he wasn’t meant to touch. During his time in there, he came in contact with the Mind Flayer (MF). According to TFS this is the point in his life when he started getting “corrupted”. Brenner’s dad - who was one of the first people to enter dimension X - had mutated blood after but no powers. Henry was the first person to come in contact with the MF and it’s highly likely he got his powers because of this (This would also track considering how most of the party has been in the UD now but show no signs of having powers). The MF controls Henry for the rest of TFS and Henry grows more power hungry the more he kills.

In S2, Henry presumably sends the MF after Will - who has now had a year to heal from the events of 1983. Will is the only other person in all of ST to have had direct contact with the MF and survived it. Henry didn’t hesitate to kill Billy in S3, but he always gives everyone just enough to keep Will safe. Will himself tells Owens in S2 that the MF wants to kill everyone except him. Will once again survives the entire ordeal and is given a “break” for the next 2 seasons. Except I don’t believe he’s been just given a break. I think Will is -

Henry’s Sleeper Agent.

Ready to awaken in s5. I undoubtedly think that Will is going to have powers. And I don’t think they’re going to be the same as Henry and El. El and the other lab kids get their powers directly from Henry. Will’s powers will be directly from the MF like Henry. I believe this has been Henry’s plan all along and it’s further affirmed by what he tells Will in the recent VR game. That Will will be the key to Henry being able to infiltrate his friends’ minds. Jamie Campbell-Bower also mentioned during the S4 press that to get in character, he set up a display with all of Henry’s victims and targets’ faces on his wall(?), and Will was in the center.

Henry is going to use his connection with Will sneakily and midway through S5 he’s going to awaken Will’s powers (maybe in ep4 - which is said to be titled ‘Sorcerer’ and has young Will in it). Henry is going to try and manipulate his way into making an ally out of Will, and it’s not going to work because -

Will is the Perfect Character Foil.

Will is everything Henry could have been if he had a better support system. He is the perfect character foil. Unlike Henry, Will has a mother who loves him unconditionally and more importantly, believes him. Unlike Henry, the person who Will loves the most (the Patty to Will’s Henry: Mike) is going to love him back and stay by his side all season. No one is going to force them to be apart the way Henry was told to stay away from Patty. Will is not going to be easily swayed even though Henry has spent years crafting him into the perfect soldier. Sure, Henry has seen him heartbroken and sad, but that comes nowhere near to the amount of love and support Will is going to get from his people next season. And they’re going to quite literally defeat Vecna with the power of love and friendship. After that, Will Byers is getting the happy ending that Henry could have gotten.

Okay, so we wanna talk about Henry and Patty’s dynamic vs byIer? Cool. Let’s talk. I’ll keep it short: You don’t want byIer to be paralleled to Henry and Patty.

For example:

This ^^ is near the end of Act 2 (i.e. the end of the play) in both London and Broadway versions. Despite all the changes, this interaction stayed the same. It’s one of their final interactions before Patty’s accident, and it’s in the last scene she and Henry have together. They never reconcile. This is their final dynamic before they part ways. In fact, Patty ends both Act 1 and Act 2 afraid of Henry, and for the same reason both times: she doesn’t trust that Henry isn’t killing because he wants to. She doesn’t trust Henry, full stop. She doesn’t know or love Henry well enough to trust him, unlike Mike, who trusts Will implicitly even when he’s losing his mind to the Shadow in ST2.

Most importantly, though? When Patty recovers from her fall, she doesn’t inquire about Henry’s whereabouts. She leaves to find her mom in Nevada, and she doesn’t look back. She washes her hands of the whole situation (and understandably so, that’s way too much baggage and danger for her, a teenage girl, to handle for a boy she literally just met).

You guys want to go crazy insane about how they parallel each other? I mean hey, I can’t stop you. Do whatever you want forever.

there's just something about these Patty and Capochin drawings at the end of the artbook that make me feel like fifty billion emotions i cant possibly describe in words aside from just... Man.

[aemiron-main]

thinking about all of TFS henry’s weird “he might not be human/creature vibes” stuff (especially with all of his d’art parallels like patty finding him in the bathroom vs will finding d’art in the bathroom, dart’s legs bursting out of him vs the spider legs bursting out of henry, brenner talking about ‘disposing of’ henry vs dart being found in the trash, mike saying ‘what are you’ to dart vs patty saying ‘what are you henry creel’ etc etc but that’s a separate post) vs this bit from ed greenwood’s dnd mindflayer lore video (and this has always been part of the MF lore) vs TFS brenner talking about how henry needs fuel…

and also staring at how it takes a week to convert a human into a mindflayer vs the whole “he slipped into a coma and then ‘died’ a week later” thing from victor re: in-show henry..

and also staring at how the process of turning a human into a DND mindflayer involves a mindflayer tadpole eating the host’s brain vs Broadway Patty talking about how the ST mindflayer is consuming henry’s brain… and how DND mindflayers are extremely picky when it comes to choosing a host vs Henry having something special about him that resulted in him Not ending up like the broadway version of Captain Brenner….

anyway!! just some thoughts
