if the duffers were smart then they would push the fruit farm agenda for stranger things bc why does the cast ship the fanon ships more than the canon ones 😭

whatever happens in volume 2, noah is making sure we know he’s not going anywhere! will is nottt dying this season, his character arc is far from over.

when the duffers actually go through with giving will a boyfriend that looks like a knock off version of mike and mike gets so jealous because everyone loves him, even hopper (?!?!?!) who can be quite overprotective over the people his kids date. he just doesn't like him, he doesn't see the appeal! he thinks will could do sooo much better than him

i need y’all to start linking your sources for stuff because where did it even come from that insiders who’ve watched volume 2 have said we’re getting queerbaited, yet volume 2 was still in production 5 days ago? im all for remaining on the fence about byler being canon to avoid getting disappointed but let’s be serious.

the way finn and noah were split up throughout most of the press run for s4 v1 really had me thinking, why haven’t we had at least one interview with finn, noah, charlie and eduardo since v1 dropped? they were all part of the same storyline this season so it would only make sense…

imagine after will comes out to the cali gang, jonathan and argyle start recalling instances where they should've realized will wasn't straight and jonathan brings up will's reaction to girls full on flirting with him vs that one time a guy commented on how good his new haircut looked (jonathan thought the way will flushed from head to toe was hilarious) and mike just...short-circuits, he wasn't shocked at girls trailing after will but guys too?!

if the duffers wanted to amplify will’s sexuality storyline, they could’ve easily introduced a potential love interest for him in s3 and developed it from there, instead they’ve had him pining for the same boy for pretty much the entirety of the show… which brings me to my question, why would they put so much work into the coding just to give him a half-assed rejection from the boy he likes, when they could’ve easily given him a happier storyline beforehand. i am really hoping the duffers wouldn’t be that cruel to will, especially after everything they’ve thrown at him.

ngl im torn between looking forward to july 1st and dreading it at the same time. it has been so fun coming up with theories, the leaks we've been getting everyday and the overall discourse. july 1st is kind of the make or break in a way, it either happens or it doesn't and i just don't want it to end yet 😭
