What did Vecna do to Will?
Part 1: Where is the Mind Flayer?
Part 2: What is the Shadow Monster?
Now we will finally talk about Will, as I promised.
After I got swallowed by the dnd wiki page on the mind flayer, I read this
How long was Will unconcious in episode 6? Well with all the time shenanigangs happening that is very unclear.
So either Vecna was turning Will into a thrall here, or
Making him into a new mind flayer? Where have I seen these tadpoles before ...
(Also interesting how Mike is so fascinated with it ... we will come back to you at another time)
What is confusing to me is the timing of it, it doesn't add up with what it says on the website. Was Will infected with a tadpole when he was captured in S1, or in S5?
The eggs hatch after one month ... Will threw that slug up around one month after he got back from the upside down. But it's still confusing, because the tadpoles are supposed to grow in the tank of the elder brain. Not everything is quite adding up.
Oh no. But alas, there is hope!
Now, why would Vecna turn Will into another mind flayer? In the second part I mentioned the possibility of Vecna being a renegade illithid (illithid is what a mind flayer is also called) and well, would you look at that
(After all the pictures of Will being tortured have some field flirting as a treat)
So Vecna needs Will specificially because he wants to shield himself from the elder brain? Which leads me to: who or where the fuck is the elder brain?
And why does it feel like Mike is also connected to all of this? What is your secret Wheeler, I am going to find it out.
(And no, it's not that you're in love with Will, everybody with eyes can see that)
