I will forever be missing gritty early stranger things before they made the story into a children’s cartoon

you seem pretty gay for a boy so straight

saying that will "didn't earn his coming out in s4" is homophobic. queer people don't "earn" their coming out. it's not a reward for being a good person or a "good gay person". that is not how coming outs work. people come out on their own terms. when they want, to who they want, and how they want to. the fact that they said that and then will is forced to come out because of vecna but he apparently "earned" that to be his coming out is homophobic.

can we talk about how will really broke down 𝙖𝙛𝙩𝙚𝙧 he came out, even though it was met with a positive reaction

can we talk about how the worst component of coming out for him wasn't the fear of saying it aloud, it was people 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬𝙞𝙣𝙜 because he wasn't ready for people to 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬

he didn't choose to come out, he was pressured to by his abuser to the point where he desperately gathered everyone available 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙨𝙤 𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙩𝙚𝙡𝙡 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢 𝙗𝙚𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙫𝙚𝙘𝙣𝙖 𝙙𝙞𝙙

will was scared to come out, yes, but will was 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚 scared of the fact that he 𝙘𝙖𝙣'𝙩 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙞𝙩 𝙗𝙖𝙘𝙠

it’s actually so insane that the same tv show that calls their central queer character a fag and a fairy never lets him have a romance or even say the word gay

remember when will admitted that being gay made him feel like a mistake but being in love with mike specifically felt so natural and 𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 that he didn't feel like a mistake at all

and then remember when they did NOTHING with that

do you ever think about how will was taught to be so afraid of himself when he was little, and he grew away from that fear as he got older and found his strength

and mike was never afraid to be himself when he was little, but then that fear was quietly taught and suddenly he was a shadow of the man he could have become

It will always piss me off that they nerfed the Mind Flayer by diminishing its truly awesome size.

None of the other characters were ever able to truly appreciate this moment

Oh. You don't see Will?

Here let me--

Those 2 pixels are a 13 year old Will Byers standing his ground against an ancient eldrich interdimensional monstrosity and telling it to fuck right off.
