killing me softly

How to Disappear Completely

it drives me so so crazy that “music isn't the only way back from vecna" is a key revelation in the final season that they just fully did not do anything with for the two people who have LITERALLY pulled each other back from the grasp of vecna using something other than music FROM THE BEGINNING. MORE THAN ONCE. Using memories of EACH. OTHER.

the only reason why Will didn't die at the end of season 2 was because Mike was the only one who realized that closing the gate would kill him. Will was ready to sacrifice himself and Mike didn't let him.

Thinking about how Mike lost Will every season.

Thinking about how Will is El’s most free and healthy relationship with a man. The first time she feels truly like an equal with one. Their relationship is free of unintentional reenactment of her relationship with papa. Something that’s probably very hard for her. Her brain, built around her trauma, links being a man, with someone who has control over her. (At no fault of her own, or the non papa/henry men in her life.)
