being a q!slimecicle enjoyer is so funny because half of the experience is combing through vods and liveblogs to figure out where tf he went and getting jumpscared by serious lore that he was involved with for some reason

when will said it was "strange knowing who it was this whole time" and "he's hurt, he's hurting, but he's still alive" was he not talking about henry? am i insane? did i misinterpret that scene? why are we acting like will is connected to anyone other than henry bro what is Happening 😭
that was henry that shaped the mind flayer into that spider-like form and it was henry that used it to possess will and it was henry's thoughts that will was experiencing against his will and it's henry that he's still feeling because the connection/"vecna's curse" hasn't been broken. they physically extracted the mind flayer from will's body, yes, but his connection to henry was never broken. henry can't exercise complete and total control over people without the mind flayer's power, which is why will has free will over his body but his mind remains connected to henry.
the characters, and by extension the viewers, thought it was the mind flayer behind everything, because they didn't know what season four revealed to us.
henry wanted to control will's mind and body—a complete and entire violation of everything will is. that was Not the mind flayer, and they tell us that more than once. with all love and respect what are some of you on about because you're starting to make me feel like my memory is genuinely broken or something lmao like i thought.... the big reveal was that it's always been henry? they literally say that? eleven, henry, and will all confirm it? the mind flayer was not a separate entity acting alone... thus will has beef with henry most of all because henry's violation of his mind and body is still ongoing... Where Are You Guys Getting Your Information From 😭 hELP
will's rape—because that's what possession is, he never consented to having his mind and body controlled by anyone else—is an important part of stranger things; both to the general plot and will's character. to say that will only has beef with the mind flayer and not henry is reducing what henry did to him and reassigning blame that very much falls on henry's shoulders. henry was controlling the mind flayer and henry is the one still in will's mind. henry used the mind flayer to have control over will. henry and will are connected. the show literally tells us that over and over again. when you decide to needlessly reassign blame, not only are you misunderstanding and misconstruing the plot, but you're also... not understanding what happened to will at all. like, what really happened to him and how that's used in the show.
henry very likely was the one that kidnapped will. henry is the one that will has a psychic connection to. henry is the one that raped will / possessed him if you prefer that term instead and used the mind flayer to do it. henry is the one that will still knows like the back of his hand, because henry is the one that's still in his head. it's not the mind flayer. it's henry. please stop saying that will doesn't have more than enough reason to want to kill his ass. please!!!

sorry im thinking about my husband again HAHAHFIJWJFJD
i love the fact that jigen is, canonically, a romantic at heart. he tries to keep up the cool badass marksman image but listen. he's so sentimental it hurts. like that post i made a while back abt the connections between his love interests and flowers ..... but also the way he talks abt his magnum yk. he could always choose a different gun, he definitely has the skills for it. but he chooses to stick with it anyways just bc of how long hes used it <3
(^^him talking abt his gun)
also this guy likes classical music. idk thats just important to me (important enough that my goldfish brain remembers it)

One of the funniest things about Travis to me is that he can hide his emotions but he can't pretend.
Like, he's a family man, right? He's Mr. Family is the most important thing ever and etc, it is what he's been taught! Yet when you blow his mother's head right in front of him my man just looks at it like 🧍 and it's like TRAVIS AT LEAST PRETEND TO BE UPSET KSDHNFFKD 💀💀💀

Sierra Six canonically has c-ptsd and has a scene in the movie where he's triggered and having a flashback. The first time I saw that, I had to pause and process it... not only did I immediately feel safe when I saw him on screen for the first time, because he's such a protective person and his main weakness is his loyalty and devotion to his loved ones, but ALSO it comforts me knowing that he'd be so patient and understanding with me when I'm having my own flashbacks or panic attacks from my own abuse. He became a strong comfort character in less than 40 minutes, possibly a new record, I wasn't even done with the movie yet.
I literally paused the movie my first time watching it and NEEDED to write a self ship fic w/ him asap because I was so overwhelmed with how I just... I knew, I knew he would comfort me if I needed it. I knew he'd be here for me. I'm so certain of it. I wrote 30 pages in just a couple of hours and it was also the first time I wrote anything in over a year.
I still jolt awake from nightmares and I barely get 3 hours of sleep every night, sometimes no sleep at all. Insomnia is a part of ptsd and my sleep schedule was already a wreck before I had to deal w/ my abuser. And it feels SO comforting to know that when I wake up gasping, sweating, crying, Six is bursting through the door (or if he's asleep in the same room with me, he's immediately alert and scrambling to my side) and he's scooping me into his arms and he's immediately saying it's okay, it's okay. Keri, you're safe. I'm right here. His hands are scarred and calloused from years of fighting, but they're as gentle as his voice when he's holding me. His gaze is soft. He knows exactly how this feels. He knows grounding techniques. He guides me through breathing exercises. He has been through this same hell for decades. He knows. He gets it. He protects me when I'm awake and when I'm dreaming. I could not possibly be anywhere safer than in his arms

"WHY DID FELIX FROM AMOR A VIDA GET FORGIVENESS AFTER TRYING TO HARM A BABY AND NEVER PAYING FOR IT BUT FLORA HAS PAYED FOR EVERYTHING SHE DIDAND EVEN BY THE LAW SHE SERVED HER TIME BUT SHE GETS NONE OF THIS REDEMPTION SHIT"
i love this. It' because he felt bad about it and changed and he wasnt forgiven by the baby's parents/his sister and he left them alone and kept trying to become a better person while flora doesn't feel bad because she thinks she had to protect herself and murder/other atrocities were appropriate responses.
But also he absolutely should have been in jail the whole novela, you are right
