the duffers are going to HELL
so, the s5 script released and in the bathroom "mr.whatsit?" bit will was originally supposed to take off his BELT instead of his jacket.
imagine being Will and you find yourself soaking wet in front of the person you have feelings for, you have to "hold hands" to stop the pipe and you have to take off your BELT, that would be humiliating.
they've been putting Will, their ONLY canon queer male character btw, through humiliation rituals over and over again through every season with the most condescending storyline i fucking hate them
Given how they treated the actor as a child, it should be obvious to everyone now that Will was a punching bag to them the whole time. Why else open season 5 with a completely gratuitous rape torture scene that had absolutely no bearing on the plot just to retcon the beginning of the show? They just wanted another opportunity to watch Will suffer and to cast another young boy they could abuse on set.
