St Vecna - Blog Posts
So are we calling him Vecna or the shadow monster or Henry or the mindflayer or 001. Cause it’s gonna start to get real confusing real quick
Will Byers Could Be Vecna's Weakness
Since S1, Will has proven he's the most mentally stable out of his Party and the older teens/adults. He knew to grab a gun when he was being stalked, he self-soothed by singing while stuck in the UD, he communicated using Xmas lights, used Morse code while possessed, loves Mike but isn't afraid to humble him (she dumped your ass, Lucas didn't agree to be Winston for Halloween, you're mad I didn't talk to you, Vecna still alive etc), and can sense the UD happenings.
We see Hopper take pills and alcohol in S1 cuz of his regrets and finally open up in S4. Joyce is a bit of a scatterbrain and almost fell for Lonnie's 'I care for our son' BS in S1 when they thought Will was dead. The older teens barely escaped the UD alive in S4 without the younger kids' help.
Will not only knows how the UD works, telling Mike Dart was a baby demodog, but he also has a strong mind. He won't be easy for Vecna because he's the one that got away TWICE. Yes, Will hid his feelings for Mike, but he understands why he does it, he's selfless. Joyce proved that when he gave up his toy to another kid. With Chrissy and the other victims, they hid who they were and assumingly had no support system. Max had her friends, but because she isolated from them she had no support system.
Will has his fam, his friends, and he's accepted himself as gay since he doesn't feel like a mistake due to Mike being in his life. Chrissy still thought she needed to be skinny to please her mom. Will was told by Jonathan to not care about Lonnie's opinions. If Vecna feeds off insecurities, Will is a challenge because he doesn't let his insecurities control him. Chrissy wanted drugs, Mike lashes out, but Will never looks to toxic outside sources for relief cuz he can just draw or talk about what's bothering him, or let out a stress relief cry.
There's got to be a reason he was taken 1st too.

Not only was death in his first name but his last name too-
You've all heard of Shrekna, now get ready for Vecnun. Spent an hour on this shitpost in Photoshop! 🤣

Being friends with young!Henry Creel would be like:
Him: “I will not accept defeat. I either win or I die.”
You: “ok, dude, calm down.”
He could talk about spiders for hours at a time and you let him; not because you care all that much, but because you know he just needs someone to listen.
Him: “I’m different. How am I supposed to live in this mundane, tedious world?”
You: “idk, don’t you have like… a hobby or smth. A pet? A fave food, maybe?”
Kids at school think he’s weird and ignore him. When you become friends with him, they start ignoring you and looking at you funny too, but you don’t care what they think.
“You wanna do WHAT to your parents?? Henry, that’s illegal in most countries.”
He loves to go out for ice cream, but he only gets ever vanilla. Even when you get a crazy flavor and let him try it and he says he likes it, he never orders it for himself. Only vanilla.
*You had the bright idea to cut your own hair; Henry is supportive. You’re sitting in front of the bathroom mirror with scissors in your hand, your tongue stuck between your lips as you focus on finding precisely the right spot to cut. He’s sitting on the lid of the toilet, watching.* “I think I’m gonna give myself bangs.”
“That looks nice.”
“Want me to cut yours?”
“Absolutely not.”
He’s INSANELY good at board games. Sometimes he lets you win.
You occasionally commit arson together🥺
You give each other book suggestions and sometimes read to each other. He likes horror, but knows you get scared easily so he skips over the really gory parts for you.
He hates his birthday, but he NEVER forgets yours. He always gets you a present, and it’s always something really thoughtful.
“You wanna come over and summon demons with me?”
“…”
“…”
“…”
“uHM YES”
You do homework together and he helps you with subjects you’re not so good at (he’s extremely smart).
When he finally tells you about his powers, he thinks you’ll be freaked out. He’s surprised when you’re actually amazed.
“NO WAY, THATS SO COOL!”
“Aren’t you afraid?”
“Of you? Never.”
A few weeks’ worth of you annoying him by asking him to make everything float, but he complies every time.
Then… an idea strikes you.
“Can you make me float?”
“I can try.”
It works.
You decide to see how high he can lift you into the air. You both go into an empty field and try it.
You get about sixty feet in the air when he loses control of you and you come plummeting back down.
Somehow, you make it out with only a broken arm. You tell your parents you fell out of a tree. Henry is scared you’ll be mad at him, but you’re absolutely not. He’s the only person you’ll let sign your cast. It’s like an inside joke between the two of you.
And of course, when the cast comes off, you wanna try again, but he says no:(
You’re the only person who doesn’t treat him like he’s different. You feel like a bridge between him and the rest of the world. You make him feel normal. You make him feel accepted.
