What is the general opinion of your muse’s fandom about them? Do you agree with it?
SCREAMS okay so don’t even get me started. i feel like the general feeling of the fandom is that will is a little tiny baby (do not even GET ME STARTED on the amount of fan art where he’s being held or babied like jesus) when that’s literally the FARTHEST THING FROM THE TRUTH. and like idk if that’s the general opinion of the whole fandom, but i know what i been seen.
it’s as if everyone forgets all that will has endured and the strength and courage he possesses. and i mean, yeah, he’s a pretty soft boy. he’s quiet and he’s an artist, but he’s TOUGH, he’s resilient, and he can take care of himself. and quite frankly, i don’t think he wants to be held and coddled. i mean, he says as much, doesn’t he? “stop treating me like that!” “they all treat me like i’m gonna break, like i’m a baby, like i can’t handle things on my own!”
and it’s just like — with words said EXPLICITLY FROM WILL’S OWN MOUTH, why is this even a misconception people have? it’s like !! he can be soft while being tough at the same time, y’know. like he can shoot a fucking GUN. he survived in the upside down BY HIMSELF for a WEEK. he faced the fact that by defying the mind flayer the way he did, and telling them how to defeat it, he might have DIED in the process. and he was WILLING TO DIE.
so i’m just like. why do we ignore these things? in favor of will being a soft little gay boy? and nothing other than a soft little gay boy? and ESPECIALLY one that needs to be taken care of? like bite me.
it’s a meme ! // @boybard
