b/c youāre newer to st fandom you might not know this and itās info i think you deserve: between seasons 2 and 3 there was a will byers in the upside down graphic novel. now directly contradicted by season 5, but when will is in the library the mind flayer puppets a bunch of corpses to give a speech about how will belongs in the upside down forever. in the interest of being a creepy entity that wants will to know it was listening, it throws in as many references to should i stay or should i go by the clash as possible. one of these references being referring to will as ādarlingā
and that is why iāve been a wiseone truther since before vecna existed. like most people read that as āeldritch being who doesnāt quite understand humansā thing and i read it as a āoh, this is a guy, a possessive, creepy, condescending guy.ā there was a fan theory circulating around this time that the mind flayer was at one point a hawkins lab kid who was so powerful that death wasnāt the end. my take on that was āyes and that kid was a BOY who is now GAY for WILLā
itās been an interesting ride
anon. I love you. I would die for you.
