let’s start a new party

DONT think about jonathan volunteering as tribute when will’s name is called at the reaping. Unlessyou like suffering and agony and torture

in my perfect world el already knew will was gay by s4 because when they first started school el met a girl who she thought was super pretty and nice and she wanted to be her friend and she kept getting butterflies everytime she saw her in the hall and so she went to will for advice because the knots in her stomach when she saw the girl were too much and “how do i ask her to be my friend?” and while el was describing how she felt about that girl realization dawned on will because this is how he feels about mike. and so super gently, will asks her if she, just maybe, got a…crush? and el just nods because, yeah and should she tell the girl she got a crush on her? and will immediately panics and says no and el, always being curious asks why? and that leads to will and el having a conversation in the middle of the night sitting on will’s floor about society, queerness and how isolating it can feel sometimes and when will comes out to her, voice super quiet she just hugs him tightly

Robin "How many children are you friends with?" Buckley recognizing Will Byer's dumbass bowl cut, seeing the trademark signs of pining after a straight person and immediately deciding he's her favorite little gay boy in the world. you will live forever in my heart

keep will byers name out your mouth i’m so serious

kind of having fun with the paladin -> storyteller shift as a sort of tragedy. mike scared to be a part of his own story because of what it might reveal about him. mike who can’t handle the ending he’s left with so he tries to write it into something he can bear. mike trapping himself as a passive agent in his own story so he doesn’t destroy what he has left. mike the paladin, who could protect his friends, who could lead with heart vs mike the storyteller who worries about his heart spilling out on the pages. a story can be a truth or a lie. walk with me.

ykw despite everything else that happened the joy of seeing sorcerer will on my screen still remains. yay sorcerer will
