mike gay panicking around will
will has always had powers and that is why vecna targeted him in s1 and why he took him to the upside down instead of killing him because he thought will would be useful but will's powers are dormant & he is unaware he has them so his powers are gonna have be woken up in a carrie style moment and that is how we find out will has powers and-
🥰❤️
the thing is, it would have made more sense if will was the one to behave the way mike did at the start of the season. it would make sense if will avoided the hug, or if he didn't call because he was trying to move on. "el was lying to you" "at least she still bothered to call" "that's because she's your girlfriend mike" "and us?" "we're friends. we're friends" would make sense because it would show us that mike is sad that they aren't close anymore, and that will is trying to remind himself that this is as close as they can ever be. but giving all of those moments to mike instead just makes his behaviour really awful and confusing for no reason

How did Will mess with the lights in s1 he was so short and he was doing it so much faster and stronger than the fruity four who were directly touching them, he also couldn’t see the letters, he was hiding in that cabinet and was leading Joyce there without getting up, how did he press the play button from the upside down, how did he call Joyce twice, how did he do the circle of lights thing in his room the same way the numbers did in s4, the demogordon would find him whenever he messed with the lights or when el contacted him suggesting it’s drawn to psychic happenings, he also only got caught after El told him to stay put, Brenner only agreed to Hopper because he was sure Will was dead so how the hell did he last a week, how did Joyce hear Will when the party can’t hear the fruity four at all, Joyce literally SAW Will in her head in his current state at the time, Joyce’s aunt had hallucinations, Will almost opened a gate in the wall, how did Jonathon recognize Joyce from the lights, how did El know who Will was and that he was hiding in the upside down before looking for him, how did she know which dnd figurine represented him, all those Will and Henry parallels, why was Will even being stalked in the first place, how did-
I'm so used to being queerbaited that I have no idea how I'll react if we get a canon gay relationship in stranger things. It might take me a few business days to process that it is in fact real. Then I'll explode.
st fandom collecting queer couples be like:
(yeah el is ace because i said so hehe)
i just love how the queer shippings in stranger things are
one of the weakest team member but at all times ready to fight god and the world & deeply traumatized boy who just wants a break but never gets one
bisexual ex-jock mom friend & anxious adhd metal dnd nerd
chaotic autistic lesbian without any filter & organized smarty pants with guns
when I say "wasted potential".. </3

I really like the idea being thrown around that Mike has a stack of unsent letters to Will. All of them signed Love, Mike. Because it does make sense — imagine writing a letter to your best friend and signing it easily with love, and then writing a letter to your girlfriend, and you freeze. You’re stuck. It’s supposed to be just as easy, but suddenly it’s not, and you’re forced to confront something. What do you do? Hide the ones that hold a secret and send the one that makes sense to the world! I don’t know, I just think it’s really neat!
a stranger things spin off that’s similar to marvel’s “what if…” but it’s live action and it’s just all our gay ships being canon in a parallel universe
Here's the thing I've been ruminating on... Whether the Duffers were queer baiting or are a bit homophobic or scared to actually make any characters queer bc the straight audience is the important audience or whatever-- The cast, tho, aren't. I think possibly what they've been hinting at or alluding to is that whether they were supposed to or not... They were playing their character that way. Like Maya and Natalia were leaning into the chemistry and like the idea of ronance. Like Joseph making Eddie flirty with Steve and Keery being on board with it. Or Noah and Finn do think Will and Mike like each other. And yeah, you could say it's another form of queer baiting but I see it more as the Duffers aren't going to make it canon but the actors actually know what people want and give us what they can. Does that make sense?
I could be way off with this but... It's just food for thought and all that.

“You were the coolest nerd Erica ever met” ngl that one got to me 🥺
Joseph Quinn could have chemistry with a rock. He really got to set and said “Friendship with Dustin? He’s my little brother and I’ll make you cry about it. Flirting with Chrissy? I will make myself the most charming babygirl you’ve ever seen. A scene with Steve? I will undress him with my eyes every chance I get.”
Rb if you would not be S+P approved
i will never not be thinking about these steddie headcanons my god
bonus: steve being bi + erica having no respect for him (an icon)
Dustin: When you see him, whatever you do, DON’T FREEZE.
Steve: *rolls his eyes* I won’t.
[Insert badass Vecna ass-kicking scenes here]
Eddie: *saunters up to Steve with his sexy af hair and new bat slung over his shoulders*
Eddie: Hey, pretty boy.
Steve: *chokes* . .. Ed… ..Eddie, hi… .. .
Eddie: *smirks*
Steve: *nearly passes out*
Dustin: *laughing his ass off in the background*
(the whole group, plus Billy, has to do research etc. to stop the world from ending)
Nancy: OK, to get more done, we should split into groups of two -
(Steve glances over at Billy and Eddie, who are both looking over at him)
Steve: - I'll go with Dustin.
Dustin(under his breath): Chicken.
This scene ୧⌓̈⃝୨
Mike: "Okay... How does it work again? I'm confused."
Nancy, pulling out a chart: "Okay, so... I'm a bisexual, right I like both right? So I date Robin who like girls. This is called lesbian, okay? Robin also dates Chrissy you know the cheerleader, which I know about. I also date Steve and Jonathan separately. They also date each other but Steve dates Eddie too. But Eddie only likes guys. Are you following me, Mike? But Jonathan also dates Argyle who you've met. But Argyle is Pansexual which means he doesn't care and is also in a relationship with a girl called Eden. So, overall I'm a bisexual, so is Steve. Jonathan is probably a pansexual but he is also asexual so he doesn't care all that much about that stuff. Like I said Robin is a lesbian and so is Chrissy, but Chrissy she might be bi but isn't sure. Eddie is like Chrissy's mentor though they are like best friends. Robin and Steve are the exact same. We all have designated times when we do things together. We are all friends too. Communication is also important. We also have group events. So, yeah... That's pretty much it, I believe. "
Mike: "Isn't that like..."
Mike: *Inhales*
Mike: "Gay or something?"
This generator is giving me life in the wake that was the shit show of S4.
Pt 1, 2
Steve: *meets Eddie*
Eddie: *flirts with Steve*
Steve:
