Hi I’m making a stranger things pride edit and I need a second opinion so can I get some sexuality hcs?
Welp.
This is a million years late.
BUT!
I like this question, so despite the fact that your pride edit is probably LONG completed (I would love to see it, by the way!), I'm gonna answer this anyways.
Here are my personal head canons for sexualities of various characters on the show.
Will: Gay, Asexual
For starters, this boy is 100% in love with his best friend. You can't tell me he isn't. I love Robin, but the Duffer Brothers chickened out by making her the token lesbian instead of making Will gay. If he doesn't come out as gay in Season 4, I will be very disappointed. THEY SET IT UP SO PERFECTLY GOSH DARNAT!!! Anyways. In terms of the asexual thing, if he isn't gonna be gay, then he's gonna be asexual. XD But, like, in all seriousness, I feel like it fits his personality to be asexual. Especially in Season 3, he's the more innocent one of the bunch, and comes across as younger in a lot of ways, and he just really doesn't have the same emphasis on relationships as any of his friends. I could totally see him being ace.
Mike: Bisexual
For starters, this boy is 100% in love with his best friend (yes, that's the same line on purpose). Yes, he has chemistry with Eleven. Yes, they're cute. Yes, I ship them, and I love them. But you know who he has even more chemistry with? Who he's even more adorable with? Who I ship and love even more? Yep. You guessed it. Byler is and always will be the ultimate OTP, and no one can convince me otherwise. That is all.
Eleven: Pansexual
I feel like El is totally the type of person that will wholeheartedly love whoever she loves, regardless of gender or sexual orientation. Right now, that person happens to be Mike, and I wholeheartedly buy into and support that relationship. If, however, that ever ends up not working out, I feel like the next person she dates could be a girl (especially because, yes, I could totally see Max and El being a thing too) and she wouldn't think anything of it. If she loves them, she loves them.
Max: Bisexual
That said, especially since I mentioned it in the above, I also 100% believe that Max is bisexual, but she probably doesn't realize it yet. Like, I feel like the time she spent with Eleven might have made her feel certain things--especially since she and Lucas were having "problems" at the time--but she probably wrote them off and didn't think much of it, 'cause she's probably not accustomed to the idea that she could like a girl, ya know? I don't know. In any case, I feel like she could definitely be bisexual.
Dustin: Pansexual
Similarly, I feel like Dustin is probably pansexual, but just doesn't realize it. He hasn't had a ton of experience with romantic relationships yet, and he's really happy in his current relationship with Suzie, so there isn't much need to explore other relationships with other people. However, he definitely has the type of personality to love whoever he loves wholeheartedly, regardless of gender or anything, so I feel like he's probably pansexual.
Okay. Those are my big five for sure. I know that I put Harringrove quotes on this blog, but I'm kind of on the fence about whether or not I actually ship them or not, and I don't feel strongly enough about either Steve or Billy's sexuality to label them as my own personal headcanons, so that's why I didn't talk about them. However, the above five are definitely ones that I, with certainty, support and wish I could see more of. 10/10 would read a fan fiction about any of these characters with their respective sexualities. Actually, 10/10 would write any of these characters with their respective sexualities, and I definitely have before lol.
I hope that answered your question, and I'm sorry I was so late in getting back to you!! But this was a fun question! Thank you for asking! <3
