Fell back into my stranger things hyper fixation for the first time in three years and my brain immediately latched onto the idea of a scene of Mike and Will getting attacked by a spider creature from the upside down while on they're on their own and Mike killing it by going underneath and impaling the underbelly and he looks cool in the moment but then he immediately undoes that by saying he got the idea cuz he thought it looked like Shelob and just mimicked how Sam kills her to save Frodo in the two towers.
The rest of the scene is just them flirting by comparing each other to Sam and Frodo.
#stranger things#mike wheeler#will byers#byler#samfro mention#no cuz just imagine like#will: does that make you my sam?#mike whose been struggling with fears of inadequacy and the idea he isnt needed by the ppl he cares abt anymore: adgdsdfhfs yes mr frodo#and then mike internally thinks abt that one passage from the two towers where sams on watch while frodos asleep and talks about a light#inside frodo that brightens and dims over time with everything hes been through but never goes out#and hes like yeah yeah i get that now#(the passage ends w sam saying he loves frodo regardless teehee)
