need a character study of junior and senior year of high school will byers. he’s free from his abuser and his supernatural hivemind ties, but his sister is gone. he once had telekinetic powers, but they faded away and he’ll never be able to tell anyone about it. he’s out to his family and friends, but he’s still a gay boy in a small town in the late 80s, it’s not safe for him to live openly in public — he still doesn’t get to be free or “normal” the same way his friends do. he can’t bring a date to senior prom. he has a real dad now, but he can’t undo how lonnie effected him and how consequently complicated his relationship any father figure is. he told mike the truth, but only half of it. he’s his best friend again, but it’ll never be the same.

First time trying color pens, but I still love the B&W version more.

platonic robinandwill ?? 🥺 i need more content of them (also maybe a hint of rovickie/byler but no force)
