me trying to convince myself that two straight white men in their 30s are going to write the best (slowburn) queer love story ever made

steddie, ronance or byler shippers watching season 4

[whenthedoctorwashim]

so we all agree "mike wheeler is the heart of the group" is bullshit, right?

we all agree that it is will byers instead right?

in season 1, everyone banded together (and found el) to find will.

in season 2, will was more than happy about max joining the party. but guess who wasn't? mike wheeler.

in season 2, everyone worked together to help will.

in season 3, mike was literally going away from his friend group to make out with el at all given times.

in season 3, we saw will being the only one who stayed till the very end when dustin returned because he missed his friend.

in season 3, will just wanted all of his friends to spend time TOGETHER (because let's be real, will would've been so happy just doing whatever, not only d&d, as long as all six of them were together. just look at how excited he was when they all were about to leave for the hill)

in season 3, will let go of his very rightful anger towards his friends who kept ignoring what he had to say, because he thinks it's for the betterment of the group.

in season 3, will is even willing to let go of his own interests (playing D&D) if it meant his friends would still spend time with him whenever he returned to hawkins next.

in season 4, max, lucas, dustin and mike are literally falling apart because they're all too into their heads (and i don't really blame them here - especially not lucas and max). mike and dustin weren't even that supportive of lucas joining basketball when his reasons of doing so were extremely valid.

in season 4, mike is quite literally having relationship problems with el by not being able to say "i love you" (and the confession scene doesn't seem to have done much either because why is el still not talking to him at the end?)

in season 4, will brushes aside his own feelings for mike and instead focuses on helping mike and el get back together because he loves them both dearly and he just wants to see them happy together.

in season 4, mike only really confesses after will byers pushes him to. shouldn't it have been mike's instinct which "really kicked in" when he sees his loved one is in danger?

will byers is the heart of the group and fuck whoever wrote those scenes because you don't even know your characters at this point.

[whenthedoctorwashim]

where was the scene where noah had to be “harnessed up”? where was the scene with lucas, mike, and will wearing winter jackets? where was lonnie, since his car was in the california poster? where was kali and her gang, since they’ve been seen in bts pics? where was the mike finn described, who was “trying to be as normal as possible and keep on a normal path” and “might be into some new things”?

i am genuinely so confused. it’s like they cut out half the scenes they filmed.

the spn fandom @ the stranger things fandom after they got queerbaited

[whenthedoctorwashim]

Bye

[whenthedoctorwashim]

what is it with this show and choosing to punish innocent, not typically heroic characters that are finally choosing to stand up to what's hurting them and others. will facing the mind flayer in s2. max showing vecna the deepest darkest corners of her soul just to bait him. eddie coming after those bats for dustin and a bunch of teens he's barely known for a week and a town that couldn't even let him have dignity in death

[whenthedoctorwashim]

On re-watch, there’s obviously a lot of huge character problems in Vol. 2 but the single most hilarious in how brain-breakingly out of character it is is that Steve just gives a casual ‘Eh, don’t worry about it. She’s fine.’ about Robin running off ahead BY HERSELF in a HELL DIMENSION where everything is either highly toxic or predatory and carnivorous and Nancy - whose best friend’s death RIGHT THERE IN THAT HELL DIMENSION has been a driving force of her character also not caring or thinking it’s the slightest cause for alarm. Like holy shit dudes. What the fuck is this. 

[whenthedoctorwashim]

In Vol 2 we find out that it was Henry who created The Mind Flayer as a large manifestation of the spiders that he was so obsessed with.

We can also see now that Vecna was the one who possessed Will as the Mind Flayer. Him and Chrissy’s (and Vecna’s other victims) possessions are very similar to each other. You can see their eyes both rolling into the back of their heads here.

Will also confirms to Mike that it was Vecna who possessed him. He tells him that he could feel his emotions and that he knew what he was thinking. He basically has a direct connection to Vecna. This also makes him referring to the Mind Flayer as “he” make a lot more sense.

What I find interesting is that Vecna did not kill Will. Instead he kept him alive and used him as a personal spy for as long as he could. Although his plan was unsuccessful because Joyce, Nancy, and Jonathan managed to get the Mind Flayer out of him.

But what doesn’t make sense to me is why Vecna would need to use Will as a spy. We can see in this scene that Vecna is already able to see what is going on in Hawkins.

If he wanted to, he could’ve done his own dirty work instead but he decided to manipulate Will. I also find it interesting that when Will was first brought to the Upside Down by the Demogorgon (I believe was sent to Hawkins by Vecna), Will was kept alive unlike Barb who was also taken. Vecna could’ve killed him anytime he wanted to, but he didn’t and I believe there’s a reason.

I think Vecna has always had an eye on Will and he was able to watch him through how he was watching everyone else in Hawkins. Vecna can feel people’s emotions and he knows their thoughts, which is why he is able to use their traumas against them. Him and Will are both sensitive and they’re misunderstood by the people around them. They’re also treated as being different in comparison to others.

I believe Vecna could feel how similar they are which is why he chose Will specifically and kept him alive. He brought Will to the Upside Down, possibly with the intent of making him become evil or using him for a bigger plan. He just wanted someone like him to join his side, to become him as well.

Although, Hopper and Joyce ended up saving Will and cutting his plans short. But Vecna was still obsessed with Will which is why he continued to come after him as the Mind Flayer. He was so obsessed with him to the point that the Upside Down was stuck on the day that he disappeared, which is also the day Will arrived. Vecna is very particular about time and seems to hyper focus on the concept of time/clocks. So him stopping everything on that specific date is not accidental.

Now even though the Mind Flayer/Vecna is no longer inside Will, it has still somewhat attached itself to him and now he can sense whenever Vecna is around.

I truly believe that now that Will is back in Hawkins, Vecna will definitely come after him again. I don’t believe that he will come after him to kill him, but rather get him to join him. I believe that was his plan in the beginning initially when he took Will, because he wanted to craft him into another version of himself. And now that Will is closer once again, I don’t believe he will stop.

If anything, I also believe that Vecna attached himself to Will (or was trying) so that if something happened to him, he could easily transfer over to Will. Similar to how Harry was imprinted by Voldemort. As long as Will has that connection with him, Vecna can do whatever he wants with him. But knowing Will, I think he will try his hardest to fight against it. But what we don’t know for sure is if he’ll win.

he WILL be the main character again or so help me GOD-
