@rotting-words I am so sorry for the delay! Hope you can still enjoy this gift 🫶 This piece is my interpretation of what would have happened if Flickergate was true. It is a mixed media piece, using a lot of traditional art supplies (a canvas, acrylic paint and markers, crayons, coloured pencils etc.) but I also used digital art for the sketch and the first colouring.

Thank you for hosting @bylergiftexchange and I also apologize to you for the delay

Chapter 6: The Spy

Will finally wakes up, and the group decides they must change all their plans - and tie up and blindfold Will so he can't spy on them.

But the Shadow possesses him anyway while under Mike's watch, and Mike spirals catastrophically.

Summary:

What if Nancy's vision came true in Season 5? What if Will's connection to the hive mind came with terrible consequences? What if Holly was never kidnapped, Vecna's reach goes further than imagined, and happy endings aren't what they seem?

The ending of Stranger Things, retold with the initial premises surviving their plummet through the Season 5 plot holes. Churchgate, LoveWinsGate, Flickergate, Lover's Lake Gate, Birthdaygate, Rightsideupgate, Mixtapegate, Lettergate, Mike Vecna'ed, Will possessed, Will final boss, Conformitygate, HawkinsFiles, fake ending, and a closer look at what Camozotz means and the Upside Down really represents – and how love is the answer to the finale, and with Mike as the key to his heart, what lengths Will is willing to go to save the ones he loves.

Notes: The story has been rebuilt based on the idea from this substack article that El is an allegory for queer love and the Upside Down is the closet.
