I just remembered when Noah Schnapp was asked, "What's your reaction to everyone wanting Will and Mike to be together?". And then he answered that he had personally dealt with being in love with his best friend without it being reciprocated. (But I didn't fully understand did he mean real life or the show?)

Imagine dissociating for 12hrs for a coming out scene that is never to be mentioned or relevant to plot ever again, imagine thinking of the queer coding between two main characters, imagine reading the finale script and not having a single convo with mike, imagine asking writers to write a closure between them because you understand your own character (and even the audience) better than the writers, imagine getting slapped with the most disgusting, awful dialogue ever even though it could've gone any different way.

bro every time someone asks st's creators or cast about conformitygate and the cast shuts it down (peep this) they always say "omggg it shows how much the fans loved the show".

this is going to be diabolical isn't it

Watching this video and him getting more and more disappointed as the episode goes on is chilling me ngl. This is the version of the script that didn't even have the tower scene in it btw, so this is him as a queer actor realising that they gave his character absolutely no closure and a shitty arc where he "realises" that the love of his life was just a crush to get over in a day without anything from said crush to determine if he's fine with that. He's been the *gay consultant* for the show since the beginning and he was so excited to read the script for episode 4 when he had powers, he probably was excited to see where his characters' powers took the character arc but no, they really just gave him nothing in this episode and the fact he was terrified to go up to the Duffers and ask for a little scene change speaks volumes.
