Here's the thing. Here's the take.

If they're that public and endorsing about the song Boys Don't Cry that was never mentioned outside a poster on Will's wall in one scene, then they goddamn know they put that One Way sign there. They treat Boys Don't Cry like it was text, and if we're treating wall decor like text...

why did the duffers make will dance with a girl at the snowball in the s2 finale?

a) to showcase heteronormativity and how it affects gay kids

b) bad writing, they only started writing will as explicitly gay from s3 onwards

c) they just needed to pair him up with someone so he wouldn't be alone, and it would be too on the nose if they showed him sitting alone or glancing at mike dancing with el

d) some other reason

this crossed a very important line.

it isn’t about the ships at this point, it’s about queer characters’ feelings being used to ‘uplift’ the straight couple’s relationship.

as a queer person myself, will’s car scene has me sobbing all day. all day. and i know it’s “just a tv show” but honestly? it makes you believe that this is the most you’ll get. treating a queer character as a plot device and having them suffer, be ignored and left out is actually heartbreaking. we all know they can do better than this

god, he literally called himself a mistake.

Everytime I'm reminded that Billy really could have had the most raw complex interesting gay storyline in the history of media, but the Duffers are shit writers...

Like could you imagine how great this would have been. A gay character that's allowed to be problematic. Complex. Rageful. His story isn't fluffy. It isn't cute.

It's unapologetically a raw story of a gay teen in the 80s with rage issues, an abusive father, an absent mother and no support system.

#i so wish Billy could have been written by writers that actually cared about his character #billy hargrove #stranger things #stranger things critical #stranger things fandom #the duffer brothers #harringrove

Ok listen I certainly don’t HATE the short look on Mike. I think it’ll look nice on him, show his age more. But gosh I wish they let him grow out his hair like this for s5.

Thinking about him exploring the upside down with a bandana over his nose and mouth and a ponytail holding his long hair up is so good

saw a comment today about how if billy hadn’t died his relationship with max would have become “wonderfully cute” and almost went on a rant about it here, but i’m working on that and am wisely keeping my mouth shut.

Season 4 wasn't about Mike being with El. It was about Mike not being with Will. That's how you shoot a pining love story, not an established endgame ship.

"They just want us to know that Will is sad his love is unrequited!" And why would they ever choose to distract you like that? You can only focus on one thing: Milkvan or Will. They picked Will. Every time.

Actually, scratch that. There weren't two options. They could have made it even. They could have given them some happy scenes outside of Will. But they didn't want you to root for them even for a second. And if you did, if you thought you were safe, they wanted you to feel guilty when they pulled back and you saw Will's face. This season was them saying "You're rooting for them? How could you. Look at what you're doing to him."

They associated Milkvan with viewer guilt.

time to face it yall

the duffers would make the actors retake a scene a MILLION times if the outcome is not what they wanted. like im tired of ppl calling finn a bad actor

you see mike being cold around el? that’s what they want us to see.

you see mike looking at will’s lips? that’s what they want us to see.

you see will feeling hopeful and happy while grabbing the painting? THATS WHAT THEY-
