"...it is important that, even in the frame with Will, she kind of looked like she's wearing his clothes, but then also threw a dress on it..."

The fact that she wears his clothes, though. Cute, yet interesting.

I just want to have coffee with Jamie Campbell Bower and see his folder of theories that he showed the Duffer Brothers which involved connecting all the characters back to Will Byers.

Me: Alexa start playing The Weekend's new album "Dawn FM" in the car for me please. 🙃

Alexa: Of course, sir but I must ask you why ? There is a big storm outside. 🤔

Me: We're going for a ride. 😏

I've been thinking a lot lately about how Kabru deprives himself.

Kabru as a character is intertwined with the idea that sometimes we have to sacrifice the needs of the few for the good of the many. He ultimately subverts this first by sabotaging the Canaries and then by letting Laios go, but in practice he's already been living a life of self-sacrifice.

Saving people, and learning the secrets of the dungeons to seal them, are what's important. Not his own comforts. Not his own desires. He forces them down until he doesn't know they're there, until one of them has to come spilling out during the confession in chapter 76.

Specifically, I think it's very significant, in a story about food and all that it entails, that Kabru is rarely shown eating. He's the deuteragonist of Dungeon Meshi, the cooking manga, but while meals are the anchoring points of Laios's journey, given loving focus, for Kabru, they're ... not.

I'm sure he eats during dungeon expeditions, in the routine way that adventurers must when they sit down to camp. But on the surface, you get the idea that Kabru spends most of his time doing his self-assigned dungeon-related tasks: meeting with people, studying them, putting together that evidence board, researching the dungeon, god knows what else. Feeding himself is secondary.

He's introduced during a meal, eating at a restaurant, just to set up the contrast between his party and Laios's. And it's the last normal meal we see him eating until the communal ending feast (if you consider Falin's dragon parts normal).

First, we get this:

Kabru's response here is such a non-answer, it strongly implies to me that he wasn't thinking about it until Rin brought it up. That he might not even be feeling the hunger signals that he logically knew he should.

They sit down to eat, but Kabru is never drawn reaching for food or eating it like the rest of his party. He only drinks.

It's possible this means nothing, that we can just assume he's putting food in his mouth off-panel, but again, this entire manga is about food. Cooking it, eating it, appreciating it, taking pleasure in it, grounding yourself in the necessary routine of it and affirming your right to live by consuming it. It's given such a huge focus.

We don't see him eat again until the harpy egg.

What a significant question for the protagonist to ask his foil in this story about eating! Aren't you hungry? Aren't you, Kabru?

He was revived only minutes ago after a violent encounter. And then he chokes down food that causes him further harm by triggering him, all because he's so determined to stay in Laios's good graces.

In his flashback, we see Milsiril trying to spoon-feed young Kabru cake that we know he doesn't like. He doesn't want to eat: he wants to be training.

Then with Mithrun, we see him eating the least-monstery monster food he can get his hands on, for the sake of survival- walking mushroom, barometz, an egg. The barometz is his first chance to make something like an a real meal, and he actually seems excited about it because he wants to replicate a lamb dish his mother used to make him!

...but he doesn't get to enjoy it like he wanted to.

Then, when all the Canaries are eating field rations ... Kabru still isn't shown eating. He's only shown giving food to Mithrun.

And of course the next time he eats is the bavarois, which for his sake is at least plant based ... but he still has to use a coping mechanism to get through it.

I don't think Kabru does this all on purpose. I think Kui does this all on purpose. Kabru's Post Traumatic Stress Disorder should be understood as informing his character just as much as Laios's autism informs his. It's another way that Kabru and Laios act as foils: where Laios takes pleasure in meals and approaches food with the excitement of discovery, Kabru's experiences with eating are tainted by his trauma. Laios indulges; Kabru denies himself. Laios is shown enjoying food, Kabru is shown struggling with it.

And I can very easily imagine a reason why Kabru might have a subconscious aversion towards eating.

Meals are the privilege of the living.

Idea expanded, Rockstar Eddie falling head over heels for Bartender Steve working in a high class club type of joint. He sees him working one night and thinks God damn, he's hot. I'm taking him home tonight.

Except bartender Steve has developed a significant distaste for celebrities and rich people in general because of getting cut off from his homophobic parents for coming out and the general bad way many have treated him at work whilst sloshed. But lucky for Eddie, Steve doesn't recognize him. And even though he started off in a trailer park, the fame has gone to his head a little and he asks Steve out with the full intention of getting into his pants and never seeing him again.

But oh no, would you look at that Steve isn't easy. And what Eddie thought would be a booty call ends up being a ten hour date around the city where he has more fun than he even thought was possible. Just from talking with Steve about anything and everything, flitting to parks and museums. And Eddie doesn't even realize until he's back at his hotel that they didn't even kiss.

And they go out more and more, and Eddie likes him more and more and he finds out where the rich people hate comes from. And it scares him. So he keeps lying. Like an idiot. And he tells Steve a fake last name, he tells him a fake job (which is only half fake because he did used to be a tattoo artist) and he rents an air bnb that he pretends is his own place. And the lies keep getting more elaborate to cover up more lies. And he keeps refusing to meet Steve's friends out of fear that they'll recognize him. And he really just drove himself into a corner here because he is absolutely in love with Steve at this point but how the fuck can you have a normal relationship when you are pretending to be someone else?

Turns out you can't, and Steve finds out the truth despite his efforts. But the twist is, he thinks it's fucking hilarious. After a normal period of What the fuck reaction time he gets over it. But never let's Eddie live it down.

6/27 Edit: Welp, now there's a fic.

Two fics actually. The other is by KikiZ on ao3 which is great if you're not looking for an explicit fic! Because mine will be. It's also a bit more introspective than what I got going on, and also thus far, hella romantic.

Hmmmmmmm... 🤔

I know Noah's eyes are hazel, which can appear different under certain circumstances but they really do seem light brown on this poster.

Just like when Will was possessed by The Mind Flayer in S2.

Which became darker and darker as time passed by.

What do you think ?

If it is the case it connects to two things and another theory, that I don't remember who made it so if you see this post, let yourself know.

The eyes changing color(s) or changing period is something we've seen with two other people, El whose eyes become red when her abilities are pushed to her absolute limits or beyond her powers; and Billy, whose pupils dilated when the MF had a reaction.

Now I think there's a reason why Billy's eyes didn't change colors like El or Will for that matter (which might also confirm something about Will): And that's theory time, Billy isn't a psychic like El since I think when psychics seems to use their powers to their full potential at the particular moment they are used or beyond their abilities, their eyes change colors for whatever reason.

Billy's eye thing was probably something else (that, with his weird other abilities, I think are different in their nature compared to Will's and El's abilities).

If we follow this theory, it confirms that Will is indeed a psychic and perhaps was one before he encountered the Upside Down or the Mind Flayer (which to this day has elements that is weird and unexplained about those encounters Will had with anything related to the UD.). The most of what that encounter could have done is enhance those abilities or change them into something else. (Plus the new first 8 minutes for Season 4 heavily hints at that in many weird ways...)

Which brings me to my final point, True Sight. Which Will had or is supposed to have, or at least a power or version similar to it. Vecna and his eye, has/grants True Sight. If I am right about this I have an idea about how that connection could work and how it could serve a purpose in the second half of Season 4 or Vol. 2.

But I just wanted to point out in this post that Will's eyes in his poster for Season 4 always seemed a bit weird to me. Especially when he had similar eyes and an ability supposedly similar to the main threat of this season. At least in D&D lore.

The True Sight theory will come soon enough. At least I hope if I continue like this. X)

if you took a language class in school (any level, any language) did your instructor assign you a name from that language? like, when i took french in high school i was assigned a "french name" that i had to use in that class. did anyone else experience this?

#my french teacher was batshit insane so usually i'd chalk it up to that but all the other teachers did it too #that's really fucking weird right? #also for context. i do have a degree in teaching english to speakers of other languages like i do understand language learning theory #but i don't see any rationale for this that makes sense
