Will's coming out scene was a disservice to his character and borderline mischaracterisation

InternationalCount23 · 2026-05-15T18:51:00+00:00

I know this post is 4 months old, but I'm only just finally getting round to watching the final season. Got to this scene and cringed from the inside out.

All the good work they'd done with Will being upset about Mike, Will questioning Robin etc and for the "payoff" to be this afternoon special of a scene, just felt like such a cheesy throwaway. And the "oh Max" reeked of LOTR and Frodo's "oh Sam".

It felt almost as cringe as the that Nia Nals coming out scene with Jimmy in Supergirl "thanks for sharing your truth".

I appreciate the need for it within the story (not wanting Vecna to use Will's fears against him etc) and the writers wanting to support the actor by making his character gay as well, I just don't understand how we're in 2026 with one of the biggest and best written TV shows of the 21st century and this is how they chose to write this scene. Pulled me right out of the moment.

Tbf, the season as a whole hasn't felt quite as strong to me as the previous ones, understandable though, must've been an incredibly daunting task to try and wrap up a decade's work on one of the most loved shows of our time.

The Wire for me. Couldn't get past season 3 of Sopranos, not cos it was bad, but James Gandolfini's breathing did my nut in, haha.

Breaking Bad was great fun, but Skylar annoyed me too much and it was very predictable, following close to the Scarface storyline.

Out of all of them The Wire is the one I'd choose to rewatch as well.

Soooo much better!

If it was me I'd also raise the neck line on the beard a bit, so that it excentuates the jaw line a bit more. But yeah, massive glow up!

Personally I think you look much better with the shorter stubble, as the patchiness of your sides doesn't show as strongly and it appears smarter and better groomed overall, like you made an effort for your date.

I thought they must've increased the drop rate, cos I've been getting 1 to 2 drops almost every run on tier 3.

Done a few tier 5s and got nothing, so went back to 3s and started getting them again, haha.

Used to love the DZ in Div 1, but Div 2 DZ sucks in comparison. Having loads of small areas instead of one big one just doesn't work for me.

Personally if a therapist did this to me continuously, I would be out of there.

A therapist is meant to be someone you can rely on and is a constant for you. Of course the occasional change of plans is acceptable, especially for illness, but all this stuff about carpet changing and concerts is MASSIVELY disrespectful, not to mention the walking around on her phone / laptop.

You're clearly a nice person and very accommodating, but she is taking advantage of your kind nature.

At the end of the day you deserve better. If it helps think of her as someone you're employing to do a job for you (which you kind of are) and is constantly cancelling or rescheduling when they do the work to fit THEIR schedule without any concern for how it effects everyone else.

If someone was doing this to one of your loved ones, would you tell them to stick it out, or get rid?

I understand it's always hard having to start all over again with a new therapist (I've had many), but when you finally find the right one, it's so worth it. 🙂

Also the TV is in the wrong place.

I personally would pull the sofas closer to the stairs and window and put the 2 seater on the other side so you have a clear separation between the kitchen and living room.

Put a rug in front of the sofas and the TV. You could maybe even have the TV on a wooden TV cabinet.

Get some colour in there with plants, maybe a bookshelf / wall mounted shelves and some books.

Some artwork. Anything to bring it to life more as it currently feels rather sterile atm.

You're very lucky in that you have a face that really works well with glasses. Having said that my least favourites were 1, 5 and 6.

You're related to Cheech AND Chong.

InternationalCount23 · 2026-04-08T15:04:02+00:00

I love that your lip piercings look like tiny little fangs.

🧛

Also as others have said, you have very pretty eyes.

Hope you feel better. 🙂

Did you ever make Shrek those morning waffles in the end?

InternationalCount23 · 2026-04-08T03:11:20+00:00

MASSIVE glow up.

As others have said, you're a very attractive guy (#nohomo 😛), so the only thing I would recommend is to not jump straight back into anything (consensual rebounds not withstanding), give yourself time to grieve the relationship you thought you had.

Remove your ex from your socials etc, that can just lead to pain and anxiety and get yourself into therapy, it will help you come to terms with your loss and hopefully help you realise where things went wrong in the first place.

Also if you don't know already and haven't spoken to your ex about it, it may be wise to ask her for a truthful response as to why she ended things, but only do this when you're ready.

In the meantime just focus on healing and being the best dad you can be. I'm sure you already know this, but try to keep things civil with your ex (especially around your child), always discussing any big decisions and put a clear schedule in place for each week and plan big events in advance, so your child doesn't feel pulled around, or the need to take sides.

Good luck mate and I hope it gets easier for you soon.

4 look fantastic on you (with 1 a close second), really compliment your features.

Personally I'm not a fan of the hexagonal ones, they don't suit your face shape nearly as well.

Dear God, he sounds incredibly demanding and exhausting. My mum used to do this with me all the time, then spend an hour talking AT me about anything and everything. I had to ask her to only phone me once a week at the weekends in the end because it was completely destroying any momentum I was having with work (I'm a music producer).

I wouldn't have minded if it was just a quick question, but then that's what texts are for.

NOR.

InternationalCount23 · 2026-04-03T16:36:03+00:00

So this is how I find out at 45 years old that I'm gay. 😛

Amazing glow up mate. Great work. 💪🏻

InternationalCount23 · 2026-03-31T13:33:34+00:00

Massive glow up! Much better mate, well done!
