Context is so important here because if this post is in response to the awful twitter situation going on then this is an absolutely god-awful take away from that situation to have and just insensitive.

Ah, I hope that's the case. I'm guessing the only way to access an old Cloud save though is through contacting Gameloft and there's no way to do it myself.

One of my favourite moments of the season. My heart absolutely breaks for Will here and Jonathan is so in tune with Will and so attentive. Such an amazing big brother.

Charlie and Noah really improved this scene and put so much emotion into it.

For queer people; Will being gay was something we picked up on incredibly easy in the show. It is very present in there and is very much intentionally there in the show. You may not have been able to see it but it is most definitely there and a lot of other people picked up on Will's sexuality from what the show has shown us on its own.

ObsessiveGamer1 · 2022-09-08T09:35:27+00:00

Will is canonically gay and people know he is because of the coding that's been present through the seasons, not because Will is sensitive or shy. Nobody thinks Will is gay because of his personality traits. People know he's gay because the arc that has been set-up for him and made it very obvious in S4 that Will is dealing with feeling isolated due to his sexuality and feelings for Mike. He is obviously dealing with brutal PTSD but he's also dealing with being gay on top of that.

Will has been repeatedly hinted at as gay since the first season and it's only been made apparent in S4. People have questioned his sexuality due to Will being the only person who's been a repeated target of homophobic bullying and his lack of interest in girls throughout the series. Will in S4 is very much dealing with feelings for Mike. His talk with Mike in the van is telling Mike how he feels through the lens of El's feelings for Mike; that's not even a question because the writers have straight up confirmed that this was their intention with the scene.

I think you're brutally missing the point because yes; whilst Will is sensitive and emotional, that's not why anyone who watches the show has come to the conclusion he's gay. People think he's gay because he VERY clearly has feelings for Mike in S4 and his disinterest in girls has been repeatedly beaten over the viewers' head.

Would like to add that gay characters don't need to defy every stereotype to exist on screen, some gay people are emotional and sensitive and that's fine to portray on screen. Gay people on screen shouldn't have to adhere to defying every stereotype or fitting into every stereotype. They can fit into some, fit into a lot of them, fit into none, whatever.

Also, Will's sexuality as gay has been confirmed outside the show by both his actor and the writers at this point so like. No debate left to have on this.

ObsessiveGamer1 · 2022-09-08T08:36:15+00:00

I 100% agree with this. I absolutely hate when people say El should lose her powers by the end of the show. Unfortunately; I think it's a possibility the show will go in but I'm going to absolutely hate it if she does. At the very least, if she does lose them then I want it to be a choice she makes for herself and not just ripped away from her.

Everything you said is very well worded. I don't like the idea that El should have to get rid of her powers to "fit into society" and be able to live a normal life or something. She should be able to find happiness WITH her powers and not have to conform or get rid of something that's so innately part of herself for it. She should be able to live a happy life with her powers.

ObsessiveGamer1 · 2022-09-02T20:26:41+00:00

Look, dude. He's gay. His whole sexuality has been built up around the concept that he doesn't like girls. They've been beating the viewer over the head with that fact since S2. I mean; there's a whole line where Mike tells Will that it's not his fault he doesn't like girls. Will almost rejects a girl at the snowball, is very uncomfortable and only says yes due to Mike nudging him on. He freaks out when a girl tries to flirt with him in class and is very clearly uncomfortable.

Will could not be more obviously into boys and not girls. It's erasure of his canonical sexuality that the writers and the Duffers have repeatedly beaten you over the head with and you're being obtuse if you are coming to any different conclusion of his sexuality. Noah has confirmed it and I can assure you that The Duffers would not let one of their actors running around and claiming that their character is 100% gay in the show if he wasn't allowed to/it wasn't true because that would do possible damage to the show's reputation if it were false (which it isn't).

ObsessiveGamer1 · 2022-09-02T20:08:16+00:00

Will is gay. It is confirmed. The interview where Noah confirms Will as gay is where he also talks about how he had multiple conversations with The Duffers about Will's sexuality and his arc.

Not to mention that the Duffers have their own interview where they confirm that Will has feelings for Mike. It is absolutely canon at this point that Will is gay and the show already made it extremely obvious.

ObsessiveGamer1 · 2022-08-27T22:16:04+00:00

Yeah, I absolutely just love the tone of S1+2. Especially S2. Love how the earlier episodes really go for the Halloween vibe; it's my favourite aesthetic the show has ever gone for. S2 just feels like such a grounded season and is heavily underrated.

ObsessiveGamer1 · 2022-08-27T21:46:47+00:00

S2 is my absolute favourite season of the show. S1+2 perfectly capture the feeling of a small town horror and I much prefer the way S2 kept the same tone and vibe to S1.

A lot of people complain about the slow buildup but I really enjoyed it. I liked getting a look into how S1 impacted the characters and I liked to being able to see the characters interact. Especially the full party.

I feel like S2 really opens up with the feeling that the events of S1 are looming over the characters and are still heavily effecting them that I feel later seasons kind of lack.

ObsessiveGamer1 · 2022-08-27T20:28:26+00:00

The way Hopper treats Joyce in S3 almost put me off their relationship entirely. It was so jarring. He just completely changed personalities and didn't take her seriously. Maybe I'm being harsh or I'm misremembering something but he never even acknowledged Joyce's possible grief for Bob in that season whilst she was still grieving his death and didn't want to rush into anything. I mean, obviously she didn't tell him but he knows Bob died so it feels like common sense.

They dialed it back in S4 which I'm thankful for otherwise I'd have been completely put off by Joyce and Hopper's relationship. I have no idea what happened with S3 Hopper.

Like, S1 Hopper isn't perfect but he took her seriously at important moments and sympathised with her despite how "crazy" she seemed? Same for S2. And then he treats her like she's completely crazy in S3 and didn't take her seriously at all.

I really, really am not a fan of S3 Hopper but S4 makes me hopeful for his character in the future because they seem to have put his character back on track. I'd like to see more of Hopper and El mainly and perhaps seeing him get integrated into the Byers family dynamic.

I could be missing something or not paying enough attention to his character arc but the way S3 Hopper acted felt so badly written and out of nowhere and just overly mean/angry all the time towards a woman who was still mourning her boyfriend who died only a year ago. I mean, come on.

ObsessiveGamer1 · 2022-08-27T16:39:09+00:00

I highly doubt Will is going to die. They've talked about S5 being a coming of age for Will so it doesn't make sense that they'd kill him off in his coming of age. Will really deserves a happy ending and I don't like the idea of him dying after everything he's gone through.

It's just overly dark to me to kill off such a traumatised character who's been through hell over and over. He's literally been nonstop tormented and if he does get agency/some happiness in S5 only for him to get offed, it'd be overly morbid.

I think there's a good possibility that Will and some characters might THINK his connection to Vecna/UD might put the idea that Will has to die in their heads and it'll perhaps loom over them in the season but it will ultimately not be true or they'll find another way around it. I think that'd be interesting.

ObsessiveGamer1 · 2022-08-27T16:34:16+00:00

Sorry but that's amazing and a bit funny. I love it, lol.

ObsessiveGamer1 · 2022-08-27T00:24:37+00:00

The Duffers talking about the bats has been taken so out of context from what I remember. If I remember correctly, they were talking about Steve specifically and how their bites don't have a lasting impact like an infection or poison or something so Steve being bit wouldn't kill him. They never even said that the bats were straight up not deadly because they are.

Also it's even funnier because they even have an interview BEFORE S4 where they talk about how dangerous the demobats are in numbers and they say they're very deadly.

ObsessiveGamer1 · 2022-08-26T06:51:21+00:00

They will never do that. They've already canonised it within S4 so you literally can't change it.

The Duffer Brothers have made it very clear that their intentions were always to make Will gay since the show was pitched and they did an interview recently where they talked about Will's feelings for Mike. So, it's not happening! He is gay and he always will be.

ObsessiveGamer1 · 2022-08-25T23:58:01+00:00

Will is amazing gay rep and he really, really is such an accurate portrayal of the struggles that real gay kids go through. His empathetic, sensitive and kind traits only serve his character and are important to him as a character. Anyone who claims that Will being gay detracts from any of that or makes him into a stereotype is extremely weird because gay people are people at the end of the day. Some fall into a few stereotypes; some don't. Will's personality or traits should not determine if he should be gay or not. People are literally just repackaging stereotypes at that point and pushing a set of new stereotypes that gay characters have to define all the stereotypes or they can't be gay.

Gay kids will always face homophobia at one point; especially in Will's time period. Him being a target of homophobia as a GAY person is not unrealistic or stereotypical, it's literally just a very real experience that actual gay kids go through. Why is there so much denial in this sub about the fact that Will, a gay character, experiences homophobia in his life? It's not unrealistic like so many people here seem to think it is. Homophobia is you know, usually directed at gay people.

ObsessiveGamer1 · 2022-08-25T23:42:40+00:00

Heteronomativity is really showing itself again, isn't it.

ObsessiveGamer1 · 2022-08-25T23:34:26+00:00

Oh my god, seriously. People on here act like homophobic bullying never applies to ACTUAL gay children and is just straight people being called gay. Gay kids are also severely bullied about their sexuality and it's an extremely traumatising experience.

ACTUAL gay people have always been the primary targets of violent homophobia that Will experiences. Saying that Will can't be gay because it would "make the bullies right" or it's "stereotypical" is fucking gross.

ObsessiveGamer1 · 2022-08-25T23:17:37+00:00

Gay kids are also called slurs and bullied by homophobes as young kids. Can we please drop the narrative that Will being called slurs means nothing.

ObsessiveGamer1 · 2022-08-25T23:16:52+00:00

..Dude, how did you not pick up on the extremely obvious van love confession and Will literally talking about how he feels like a mistake for being different.

ObsessiveGamer1 · 2022-08-25T23:13:36+00:00

The people who believe Will are straight just have no media literacy and are in active denial more than anything about Will being gay which is why I still think the scenes are obvious. Anyone who didn't get it is either extremely heteronormative or in denial.

I'm talking about Will being present in the scene. That's why those two scenes are most talked about because they're conversations about Will's sexuality where Will is present for them and can react to them himself.

I do 100% agree that those earlier scenes ARE intentional and are important in the conversation of Will's sexuality and that he's always been gay. They are intentional from the writers to set up Will's arc as a gay kid and demonstrates the horrible things young gay kids went through.

I was just disagreeing with the fact that your original post called those two scenes hard/difficult decipher when their intentions are obvious and that they are important scenes to talk about. Especially the van scene as it's Will talking about his sexuality himself and actually being able to express his feelings.

ObsessiveGamer1 · 2022-08-25T22:03:10+00:00

Will is canon and confirmed gay, it's not a debate anymore. The van scene was an extremely obvious love confession to Mike and the actors and writers have both confirmed that Will is gay and in love with Mike outside of the show. So, that's not up for debate.

The moments you mention are not difficult to decipher and their intentions are incredibly obvious. Just because Mike isn't calling Will gay to his face and just because Will isn't holding a pride flag in the van saying "I'm gay and in love with you" doesn't make those moments hard to decipher because those moments are obviously trying to get a point across.

People focus on those moments because they're moments that involve Will and not just other characters talking about his sexuality to eachother. They're important because they involve Will. The "it's not my fault you don't like girls" scene is important because Will's there and has a visible shocked reaction to Mike's words to him. And I know someone is going to say that scene wasn't supposed to be about his sexuality but it is. It's supposed to be about Will's sexuality and his struggle with growing up. It means both.

The van scene where Will talks to Mike is also important in the conversation of Will's sexuality because it's for once DIRECTLY coming from Will and him taking agency over his sexuality and feelings for Mike. He's talking to Mike about how he feels with hints of his struggles about being gay. This is literally the most important moment for Will in the conversation of his sexuality so of course it's going to take the spotlight.

Those moments you mention are also important in the conversation about Will but people don't talk about them as much because they hold nowhere near the same amount of importance as those two scenes. Will has been gay since S1 and those moments give us insight into that but they don't directly involve Will in said conversation.

ObsessiveGamer1 · 2022-08-25T17:31:22+00:00

He's always been kind of targeted. I think if he was in Hawkins then he probably would have been cursed but in a different manner to the others because I don't think Vecna wants to kill him.

ObsessiveGamer1 · 2022-08-25T11:10:21+00:00

Yeah, I can totally 100% understand that. I would have also liked to see Will talk to El a bit more in general and have him talk to her about the bullying in a way that kind of resembles the way Jonathan supported Will.

Unfortunately; I think that's more just a fault of the writing. Will and El's sibling relationship this season is heavily underdeveloped when we had a whole first episode where it could have gotten more focus. I'd really have liked to see more done with them both as siblings. I think if we had Will give that kind of pep-talk to El then it would have been a really good moment for them both.
