hey, my names are jamie (james for short), alfie (short for nothing) and archie (short for archer, not archibald). i am done trying to make sense in a world that doesn't make any sense to me.

i go by he/him pronouns for now, out of lack of more suitable ones. i'm trying to change that.

my actual intro post can be found here!

I don’t know if they realised that this moment in season 2 disproves mike’s entire “confession” speech in season 4 because he clearly doesn’t believe in the concept of love at first sight or even liking someone at first sight for that matter

To make your queer character's feelings for someone of the same gender be their weakness is not a good message to send.

I don’t think I can even put into words just how incredibly condescending it was that they used Will’s love for another boy as the very thing that ultimately prevented him from accepting himself as gay.

It was only after he "got over" his gay feelings that he was allowed to be "okay with himself." It’s like having a black character accept their blackness only after bleaching their skin white.

"It’s okay to be gay, as long as you stop being gay. If you absolutely must be, you should go do it somewhere else."

And what was even worse was how they completely erased the homophobic society of Hawkins that we saw in Season 1. Will wasn’t afraid of homophobia because... there wasn’t any? What happened to his peers calling him slurs in school? Did they forget the fact that he grew up hearing his own dad call him a fag?

Adressing that and having Will realise that they don't get to control how he views himself would have been a pretty powerful and realistic culmination of his character arc. It would have focused on him they way the duffers claim they wanted his story to do.

But no. Let's never mention that again and instead focus on how it was his love for his best friend, another boy, that was the problem. The one thing that is what makes queer people queer in the first place.

If I would have asked the duffers to "tell me that you're not queer and doesn't understand queerness without telling me you're not queer and doesn't understand queerness" I would have said they made a really damn good job.

y'all 💔 i finally learned to somewhat accept the way my voice sounds 💔 because it lwk sounds vaguely masc if i don't listen all that carefully 💔 BUT NOW THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS IT'S BEEN SO HOARSE FOR NO REASON 💔 AND THEREFORE IT'S ALSO WAY HIGHER THAN USUAL IN THE MOST OBNOXIOUS, UGLY SOUNDING WAY EVER 💔💔 AND IDK WHYYY THERE'S LITERALLY NO REASON FOR THIS TO BE HAPPENING 💔💔💔 AND I DONT KNOW WHAT TI DOOOO BECAYSE I HAVENT TAKEN A SINGLE SINGING CLASS THE WJOLE SUMMER BECAUSE DUH, SUMMER BREAK, AND MY SINGING TEACHER IS THE ONLY ONE I CAN THINK OF THAT MIGHT KNOW HOW TO JELP 💔💔💔💔💔 ANS I FUCKING CANTTT BRO BECAUSE I LITERALLY CANNOT REACG THE LOWER PARTS OF MY VOCAL RANGE ANHMORE AND I WAS BAD ENOUGH AT THAT BWFORE BUT MOW IT WAY FUCKING WPRSE 💔💔💔 FML FML FML!!!!!!!1!!

I feel like a lot of people have had bad experiences with an unrequited crush and project their own feelings onto Will. Will does not think that Mike is evil. Will would never need to “escape” or take a break from Mike. Will would never resent Mike or hurt him out of spite. There IS no spite. They’re best friends.

There was no big fight between them. Mike has never hurt Will on purpose and Will knows that. I’m sorry that someone hurt you, but you are NOT Will. Your toxic crush was NOT Mike. That’s some weird, made up agenda that you’re pushing.

Will adores him. He’s not some incel that insults his crush the second his feelings aren’t returned because he feels entitled to Mike’s love. He respects Mike as a friend first and foremost. He would NEVER let his own feelings get in the way of their friendship. He thinks that his feelings are his own fault. He wouldn’t punish Mike for that.
