mate i’m still waiting for some random song named ‘untitled’ to pop up on my phone and transport me into an alternate universe with miku and her friends
the fact that i don’t go on tumblr as much as i used to and i’m getting into new fandoms and slowly distancing from stranger things/byler actually makes me so emotional cuz they used to be my favorite thing in the world before they ruined it 🥹💔
-Kali was the traitor all along not only that but she was secretly the mindflayer and Vecna the entire time.
-Henry Creel is actually innocent and redeems himself by sacrificing his life for Holly and the rest of the kids revealing his super sad and traumatic backstory to them which is somehow meant to justify his actions.
-El decides to kill herself after ending the life of mindflayer/vecna Kali because apparently it’s the only possible ending for her. Mike just stares at her blankly and awkwardly showing zero emotion only saying a simple “but what about the waterfalls”
-Robin and Vickie find Jonathan’s engagement ring in the upside down and decide to get married off screen.
-Steve and Jonathan decide to strip down naked to see who has the bigger dick but end up doing more than measuring their own dicks.
-Murray is inspired by Wills corporate meeting of a coming out scene and realises that he also is gay not only that but he’s secretly been in love with Mr Clarke this whole time.
-Joyce Byers loves her only child Will very much who’s Jonathan?
-Hopper decides to rejoin the military and becomes a brutal killing machine who says “god bless America” for every Russian life he kills
-Mike and Will don’t interact until the last 20 minutes of the epilogue where they are seen holding hands while staring off into the sunset. there is zero confirmation on whether they are dating or not because the duffers don’t know that it’s not the 2010s anymore and Korrasami isn’t the pinnacle of queer representation. Mike is the first to break the silence “my first girlfriend killed herself” he says blankly while staring at Will, Will rests his hand on his neck as he replies “that’s rough buddy” that’s all the byler scenes we get.
-after this we cut to our heroes in the Wheelers basement reminiscing on their great adventures when suddenly Steve stands up and announces he has something important to say he turns to Robin sending her an invisible sign and she grabs her radio turning on the soundtrack of a very familiar song Steve then pulls a microphone out of Jonathan’s back pocket as he starts singing “and when I’m back in Chicago I feel it” end scene then credits.
While I'm on the topic of Will being on Vecna's side after the destruction of Castle Byers -- I have to point out the how well the colour symbolism in Will's costuming reflects his connection to Vecna.
In S1 he wears his iconic jacket with the giant red collar that evokes a Demogorgon's maw. For now, this is an innocent choice that simply serves as foreshadowing for the horrors to come.
During his S2 possession, he wears only grey, blue (symbolizing Mike perhaps?) and Vecna's signature red. But interestingly, the more control Vecna has over Will, the less red is present in his outfits. I can see two ways of looking at this, both of which are probably true:
It symbolizes his loss of individuality: S1 showed us that he likes wearing red, after all, and he wears it prominently in 2x01 as well. His efforts to reclaim the boy he was before his kidnapping aren't working.
It symbolizes how agreeable he is about having Vecna in his head: some red stripes remain on his pyjama bottoms while he still has enough control to spy on Vecna, but it's gone by the time Vecna starts using him as a spy in turn.
S3 begins with Will still only wearing blue and grey... but the red is back.
Vecna's back too, of course, but it's worth noting that this season brings with it the onset of puberty and the obnoxious reality that is Mike Wheeler spending all his time with El Hopper -- perhaps Will's anger about that can't help but splash onto his outfits.
Either way, red never appears on his neck (the area which most strongly symbolizes his connection to Vecna) until he fights with Mike and destroys Castle Byers -- after which his collar turns solid red and stays that way for the rest of the season.
(If you were skeptical about red symbolizing how agreeable Will is about having Vecna in his head before, maybe now it's making a bit more sense -- he spends this portion of the season choosing to be a glorified Geiger counter for the party.)
Red continues to dominate his wardrobe after the gate is closed, but it's gone from his neck. At least, his collar is blue when he affirms his devotion to Mike in the S3 epilogue:
It doesn't stay that way, though. After six months in Lenora with no contact from Mike, the collar is red again. Will can't sense Vecna here, but he certainly can sense how lonely and different he is.
(And just because Vecna isn't literally in his head doesn't mean he isn't on his mind. It's probably not a coincidence that the flirty girl is a Patty Newby lookalike who just so happens to share a shot with the word "HENRY" appearing behind Will's neck. He relates to Henry way more than he's letting on, I think.)
The instant Mike returns to him, he immediately excises almost all red from his wardrobe -- just swinging directly from one extreme to the other, with emphasis on blues and greys at first followed by generic Byers earth tones for the rest of the season.
I don't think this is a promising sign. The only other time red was this absent from his wardrobe was when Vecna was crushing all the individuality out of him -- and now he's doing it to himself.
I'm late to the (probable) epilogue outfit party because I'm not a huge fan of speculating on contextless behind-the-scenes pics, but I've decided I want to write down my thoughts on this outfit before S5 rather than after.
If you'd asked me to predict what colour Will would be wearing in the S5 epilogue, I would have guessed red -- just on his heart instead of his neck to symbolize that he's reclaimed it from Vecna.
I wasn't expecting to see him in white -- to the point that I was in the "are we sure this isn't Noah wearing his own clothes?😭" camp at first -- but on reflection, white's actually a much better choice.
For starters, it leaves no room for ambiguity the way red does: Vecna is officially dealt with and Will is free to live his life with a clean slate.
I think it's also more effective at symbolizing Will's reclamation of his identity -- if grey is the colour he wore when he was repressing himself out of shame, then white is the colour he wears when he's embraced the traits he used to see as flaws. The shadow isn't corrupting him anymore -- he's pure light.
Finally, the sleeves and possibly the inside of his collar are purple -- a mix of Mike's blue and Vecna's red, and the signature colour of Will the Wise. This is Will embracing his whole self and looking towards the future rather than feeling defined by specific childhood experiences, good or bad.
Of course, it's still possible that this really is just Noah Schnapp wearing his own clothes and I'm cornplating over nothing lol. But there's a secret third option: that Noah got to have a say in Will's final look.
I rather like that idea. For Will's adult self to be a reflection of the out-and-proud gay man who plays him would be the perfect note to end on, because Will's story reminds us that no matter how bad things get, queer joy is real -- it always has been and it always will be.

I am Shams from Gaza, 17 years old, a girl from a family of 7. I was in my first year of high school before the war. I loved my family, my school, my friends, and life itself. But the war came and took everything I loved away.
The days have passed filled with loss and hunger. We no longer go to school—education has stopped, my school and home were bombed, and now my sister, her four daughters, and I all live in a single room.
We are struggling just to find a bite to eat, to have a roof that protects us from rain, rocket shrapnel, and the smell of gunpowder. Time passed, and I was supposed to take my final exams this year, but the war took away our right to education in every way.
We are facing the worst living conditions—insanely high prices for food, cleaning supplies, and medicine. We are displaced after losing our home. My father was injured while trying to find food; he suffers from a herniated disc in his back.
We are truly in need of help. Life here is almost impossible, and the conditions are extremely harsh. Please help me secure shelter, food, medical care, and at least a livable situation. A little from you can make a big difference.
My family and I are once again forced to flee. The Israeli occupation army has launched a new military operation on Gaza, and we had to escape from the west of Gaza City to the Central Governorate — the only place designated by the army. 💔
But displacement is extremely costly. We urgently need $3,000 to cover transportation, temporary shelter, bedding, blankets, medical needs, and food. Without this, we risk being trapped again in a death zone.
⏳ This is urgent — we must leave before the end of the week to survive.
Please, if you can help, donate or share our campaign. Every small contribution matters. Together, you can help save my family from this unbearable suffering. 🙏
