The devastation that my brother gave away our VR Headset 😭 Oh what I would give to be able to play the Stranger Things VR game.

Henry Creel how I crave to encounter your angst in 3D.

I'm not sure if this is about the fictional character on an actual person, but I'd love to be told who it is so I can stop interacting with them rather than a vauge ask. I don't check the accounts of everyone I interact with so I'm sorry if I've interacted with an account I shouldn't have, I only like posts of people on here.

He's just annoyed 'cause he's tired. Give that boy a nap.

[cardiaclab]

what are your stranger things ships?

So I don't actually ship anything! I'm Aroace myself so I guess thats apart of the reason I never really got behind anything when the show first started. I've got a few things I find cute but nothing I'd get into shipping wars over, haha.

Is this too niche? I love the idea of them acting like siblings, in another universe maybe. :')

I'm a sucker for found family.

I'M SORRY? You're saying there's actually a chance we're going to see more of Henry?!

[cardiaclab]

I got this comment under one of my posts explaining Henry's 'choice' and I wanted to make my reply a post on its own explaining my thoughts and what I mean when I say Henry's being controlled.

When I say it I literally mean it.

Henry is Controlled, there's no other way to word it. This isn't a headcanon or me trying to make him seem more 'redeemable.' We get context on screen literally showing us how this happened to him, that and with the entire plot of the play being how he WANTS to resist the cycle only to have the choice ripped away from him, the entire point of my post is he does not have control in the slightest.

But yes, sure okay, the scene decided to throw in the line "I could always control it." But Henry is not a reliable character to listen to. My whole original post was showing how deeply he's internalized blaming himself.

It is acknowledged by Will the similarities they have, once again being stated that, "It's controlling you right now." That scene alone is practically screaming we're not meant to take that one comment at face value, especially when we've seen how everything happened to a literal child a few seconds before.

I don't see Henry and Vecna as the same person. Personally, from the context of the (official) play, the moment that Henry killed his family, I didn't see "Henry" as present anymore. From that point on, he didn't have a choice, that was blatantly clear at the end of the play too.

From that point on, everything said by "Henry" is unreliable. Everything said by him in season 4 isn't trustworthy. That is The Mind Flayer. The show and play have gone out of their way to establish and make it way more painfully clear that they are not the same.

He was literally ragebaiting them the whole time

I think people are heavily misreading this whole scene and assuming that Henry's always been evil. It is very clear that Henry is lying and being manipulated, here.

Will even pointing it out himself.

The main scene I want to talk about and bring up some parallels is this one in particular.

You know what this reminds me of?

Max and Holly.

Specifically the same issues they've both faced with their own trauma, how both of them believed that they could've done something different. When there was nothing they could've done.

Which is the exact same for Henry. Only Henry couldn't accept that.

Because he was eight years old, he didn't ask for this nor did he want this. He was just as much of a Victim as Will.

I fully believe that when Henry says he chose this, he's blaming himself , because deep down he believes that he chose this. By even going into the cave he feels responsible for all of this.

It is so painfully clear that Henry's being controlled and I'm so glad the show outright acknowledged it, but I need people to know that who Will got through to was someone who was just a kid.

None of what happened was Henry's fault, he was just a tragic victim of circumstance.

I am very drunk while writing this but I pray this makes sense and you guys see the parallels.

Henry Creel I will defend you until I die. I wish they could've saved you. Thank you for coming to my Creel Talk.
