Will Byers x Female Horror Tropes

imisscloudsimiss-you

not enough people acknowledge how well will byers fits female horror tropes. i mean –

like we as a fandom dont talk enough about this gothic heroine serve –

acknowledging will's fulfilment of traditionally female horror tropes is so important to me because it's a reminder of his gender non-conformity and subversion of typical masculinity of the time. he's not weak because of his connection to femininity, but rather is empowered as seen by him being paralleled to strong heroines. and he doesn't fulfil male horror tropes like the arrogant alpha male or the violent monster, but rather retains his sensitivity and gentleness while also being powerful and eerie and resilient <3

what i love about horror is that it’s one of the first film genres to center women, however misogynistic horror films have been over time. horror also has a long history of being beloved by queer people (i’d love for @georgeodowd to expand on this) fun fact of the day: the 1996 scream was written by a gay man!

one of my personal favorite horror directors, dario argento, was known to include explicitly queer characters in his 70s horror films without linking queerness to the horror - it just existed as a natural part of his film worlds.

carol j. clover’s men, women and chainsaws builds an argument that in the horror films up to the 70s and 80s at least, the final girl trope encouraged male viewers (female viewers, too) to identify with female characters.

horror heroines make it clear that femininity and proximity to femininity is not weakness, it’s strength. we see our favorite horror final girls defeat male killers without sacrificing their femininity, rather showing how it is heroic and strong.

that is exactly the crux of will’s character, at least to me. will’s sensitivity is his strength, a theme that climaxes in sorcerer and when he comes out.

i love how will pays homage to women in horror as a way for him to show his strength and resilience in his distinctly effeminate way. <33

One of my favorite examples of both queerness in horror films and strong women is Killer Klowns from Outer Space.

There's never a solution to the romantic love triangle. They kind of just end up as a polyamorous couple.

Also, Debbie literally defeats a weird monster she has no knowledge of with her SHOWER HEAD. ALONE. Mike and Dave are together and have a POLICE WEAPON. They don't defeat nearly as much monsters at that point. I love that movie.

A dark, foreboding feeling overtakes you. You know this face, even in its absence.

americans love doxxing their home states more than anything. we hear the name of our home state and everything goes black and we wake up 10 minutes later, having reblogged no fewer than 8 posts featuring the name of our home state

This is painfully American

Americans be like it is totally normal for an entire stadium (including military members) to stand at attention while a fast food clown mascot sings the national anthem
