I don't want to see Robin being a good queer mentor to Will. I want her to be so broken inside that all the advice she gives is 1) clearly her projecting 2) sardonically pesimistic and 3) simply bad, terrible advice. I want to see her rambling about her own traumas and end by telling Will the world sucks, that everyone hates you, there's no happy endings and the best thing you can do is crawl into a hole in the earth and cry.

Will feels slightly intimidating watching this weird girl have a mental breakdown in front of him, so he just says "I think I'm gonna go ask Steve"

#steve may be the token straight friend but whatever advice he gave dustin worked #so maybe he's onto something #robin buckley #will byers #the robin-will 'friendship' I want to see is Will as a reflection of Robin's younger self. still a little bit hopeful about love.#only for Robin to realize just how deeply broken she's become through the years as she talks to him and watches horror settle on his face #i think that's more interesting than just having her give him advice to get into mike's pants.#does robin look like the type to give good romantic advice?? does she?? she can't even fix her shit and she's supposed to fix will's #maybe they talk a year or two later after Robin finds herself again. and Will has grown and found his own path. and she tells him she's #happy for him. that he's doing well. that her old english teacher would be proud (will doesn't know who this ''mr. hauser'' is but he #doesn't bother to ask) and that he should hold onto his friends. they're important.#my posts
