but he makes every episode he's in so fun. i don't know how he does it.

this motherfucker doesn't even have any tragic backstory at a point of the story i'm at (episode 68), he just appears everywhere, fights people, has inappropriate boners all the time, he's naked multiple times in the show just to how off how handsome he is.

truly the character of all time.

they hated jesus because he told them the truth

the first 5 minutes broke my heart. i still cannot recover. what this boy experienced in the upside down is a nightmare. he was literally in hell.

he barely ate and drank anything in 6 days (and we know he did drink something, because he would be dead otherwise by that point. unless upside down's rules are different. idk)

will was constantly chased by monsters and had to fight them. at 12 years old. and, somehow, he was winning. he is a survivor. he's so strong despite being so small and terrified.

what vecna did to him is despicable. the sa allegory is clear. the idiots on the internet deny it, and i know why - they dont want to empathize with him. as long as his trauma wasn't as bad, they can keep hating on him. or they agree it did look like sa (and in my opinion it absolutely was) but start to throw some outdated disgusting opinions - that he's gay because he was molested as a child. which isn't even remotely true, since they showed us that he's been abused by his father and bullied by his peers for "being a fairy" since early age.

anyway, i do expect the show to reference this moment again in the future. will never told anyone how bad it was, he kept it to himself. his sorrow needs to be soothed. i expect his brother and mother to give him a lot of hugs.

but i'm afraid something similar could happen again. not necessarily the tentacle thing, but we've seen vecna levitate will's body. we've seen will's terrified face. this boy is going to go through so much new trauma in this season. i just know i'm gonna cry in some episodes.

as much as i'm mad at mike for how he treated will in seasons 3 and 4, he does have a road to redemption. and it's if he has internalized homophobia. otherwise, he's just an asshole.

anyway, it would be so monumental if byler became canon... it's a given that every single piece of media is going to have like one billion straight couples. if a show has like one queer character, this is everything this character is about. they're queer. are you happy yet, fellow queers?

but will is so much more. and we could get an actual queer romance in such a big show as stranger things. and these characters are extremely important to the plot. it would be everything to me.

but i don't really feel like it's going to happen? if you follow the logic, it should. it makes sense. it fits so right. but are the writers brave enough? do they even care about such topic? i don't know yet and it's making me anxious. are they gonna give will some random romantic interest with no name in the epilogue? are they gonna end this slow burn with rejection?

just saying, if will was girl, it wouldn't even be a question. but he isn't, so here we are.

at the very least, i'm excited to watch the season, since a lot of it is going to resolve around will. he's the best character in this show by far, and he deserves to get justice for how he's been treated by everyone - his assaulter, his bullies, his father, his "best friend". he needs to stay alive and move on and never have to experience fear again.
