Me: Wow, Will and El were both involved in Hawkins lab and hated being there. Like El was trapped there and experimented on and Will had to go there for check ups where he was poked and prodded to ‘help’ his situation. El hated the place so much that she ran away and got triggered the first time she returned there. Will hated it so much he begged his mom not to take him back there. Dudes in suits were for some reason watching Will’s sessions kinda like they would show up to watch El do stuff all mysterious like. And both of them had their brains monitored for some reason, we know why El’s was, but why Will? HMMMM. Cool stuff to think about.
Them: YOU’RE STEALING EL’S BACKSTORY!!!11!!
#this is what I mean by no one is trying to take El's place#no one is freaking trying to take her backstory or her place#IT'S A PARALLEL#P-A-R-A-L-L-E-L#THAT'S IT#IT MAKES THEM SIMILAR#NOT THE SAME#SIMILAR#Will has his own backstory#what makes them most similar is the Upside Down shit#which no other characters are as involved in as those two#One of the few ST theories I dislike more than anyone is the theory that El and Will are the same person#because they're not#they're two sides of the same coin#twins#be nuanced please
