funny how people are saying noah is “preying on finn” because they’ve been hanging out but don’t care when gracie abrams said she was “so down for him” when she was 18 and he was 14 (she knew this)
Will Byers is canonically super attractive, and that’s a risk for him.
I posted somewhere else that Will’s new look would drive all the girls crazy and it could be risky for Will, and someone replied saying that 1. Hawkins already mocked Will for being gay, 2. Will still looked nerdy in the picture, and 3. they didn’t think the Duffers would portray Will as being more attractive that the other boys from the Party.
The thing is, they have already played him up as more attractive than the other kids, and the fact that he still looks nerdy only highlights that more. He’s:
poor
suspected of being gay
a nerd
unpopular
shy
tiny (at least in seasons 1 to 3)
With a terrible haircut and fashion
with a shitty home life
Zombie Boy
and he still attracted three separate girls, two of which even made the first move (in the 80s!). The logical conclusion is that he must be one doll of a boy in-universe. I understand that it was necessary to bring home the point that he doesn’t like girls like that, but the side effect of that is that he comes off as more attractive.
Dustin had a whole plot point about no girls wanting to dance with him and got his long-distance girlfriend at Science camp. Lucas got Max to be his girlfriend by putting effort in it. Mike was straight-up the first boy El’s age she saw in her life (as she remembered it) and saved her life, fed her, etc. It’s not like she saw him and thought “he’s cute”. And I’m pretty sure that even in-universe they’re not unattractive, just not attractive enough to overcome their unpopularity and nerditude.
Plus it’s canon that Joyce was pretty in high school and she got together with Lonnie the Loser because he was a handsome “bad boy”. It’s not a stretch to assume that their children inherited their good looks. After all, Jonathan, who has the same handicaps as Will, replacing “gay” with “creepy loner with no friends” and adding “with no time because he works and takes care of his brother” managed to snatch Nancy Wheeler from rich, popular jock Steve Harrington, and nobody thought it was weird or that she was out of his league.
As for why this poses as risk for Will, there’s a difference between calling a delicate child gay slurs and being like “no for real, what’s the deal with this dude?” when they see that this now teenager has plenty of opportunity to be with girls and doesn’t take it, in a conservative town in the 80s.
What weird things do you think Mike and Will are into? Also, what about BunWill?
I'm gonna answer the first question another time but as for BunWill I'm a pretty big fan. Will is pretty much the living embodiment of a cute little bunny with his buck teeth and sassy yet adorable attitude ahhh I just can't 🤭 I love the thought of him with just big floppy ears and a cute tail. Him + PuppyMike is amazing imo
GO AWAY ANON WE ABSOLUTELY GET WILL mike having some growth and getting bulky is a dream he looks so good!! truly speak for yourself smh. he's grown up and handsome as hell - let whatever image of finn you can't let go of - go! it was never here to stay. he looks healthy and amazing and will is soooo happy 🥰
I feel like Mike has a lot of weird k1nks/fet1shes but Will has like 4 very specific ones that would send people into a coma and would have him sent to a mental hospital
antis on twitter are crying because S5 might be set in 1989 making the party 18 and they're upset because "creeps need to stay away from him" lmao
and I'm like.... he's not real the actors are grown ass men, his age is made up but also. why are you begging for him to stay under 18 if you're so worried about "creeps" lmao surely you should WANT him older? or is it just sex and sexuality you're scared of
Like obviously you don't have to be comfortable with characters being sexualized but you can't say anything about adult characters having sex and shit because even if you have seen them "grow up" or whatever it's still no reason to hate on smth completely legal and normal
Ok!! This is gonna be a long list so I hope you enjoy. These aren't in any particular order <3 if you want more just ask lolol (Also I'm assuming you mean just for Byler - These are all on AO3, I'll tag the author if I know their Tumblr)
Also for some reason only one link is working?? I have no idea why pls ignore that
