william byers how tf did you do this
vecna cursing Will: everything you thought you knew about yourself is a lie. you're even more of a monster than you thought. you are trapped in a nightmare of your own creation. you are everything you and your friends fear and when they find out they will hate you
vecna cursing mike: hahaha GAYYYYY
and mike would fold immediately lmao
Will has powers but he’s also a giant fantasy nerd so whenever he uses them he yells something out like he’s casting a spell. Let’s say he has pyrokinesis, it’s not enough to set things on fire with his mind he has to shout “FIREBALL!!!” every single time
for some reason I just pictured kaeya’s “COOL IT!”
“stop clogging the anti byler tag with willhail!!!” the tag is literally meant to shit on us. bylers/willhails invading it is peak comedy wdym
Right?! And you can’t tell me you’ve never run across some kinda shitpost about how mentally ill and nasty gay people are IN A GAY SHIP TAG?! The straights just never stfu huh
WAIT. GUYS.
Wouldn't it be awful if this was actually foreshadowing Vecna delivering Will a final blow -- has he noticed that everyone is forgetting him? How even his own mother forgot his birthday? Has he noticed how his sister seems to be the perfect child, the perfect sibling, someone who brought his mom together with Hopper (where his dad left because of him), she made their family whole again after he broke it, she makes Mike happy in a way he never can. Someone undeniably better to show how unneeded he is -- and then for Vecna to tell him it's because he is a mistake, and in order to save everyone, he needs to correct that mistake and erase himself and that's the reason for birthdaygate, because of that butterfly effect.
so I was listening to the score from s4 because it slaps and I got a text message so I turned on my phone to see who it was and I realized the title of this song I was listening to… “I wouldn’t remember me either.”
GUYS WTF DOES THIS MEAN PROTECT MY SWEET BOY
I think Vecna’s powers likely rely on proximity, so he probably took the birthday memory before the Byers left for California. After that, he could still take it from everyone else close to Will, not just who was in the shed. Outside of Hawkins though, aside from Russia where the particles are, he won’t have much reach. Which means that the one person who would remember is Lonnie
not sure if its true, but I saw someone say will can only feel vecna when mike is near him…
stranger things s5 predictions:
- will has powers and that’s why vecna picked him
- “what painting?”
- jancy will be endgame.
- steve dies
- eddie cameo 4x4 billy style
- max is crucial to helping defeat vecna from inside his mindscape
- max will be alive and her and lucas will go to the movies.
- december/xmas season
- carol of the bells in the trailer
- byler endgame
- el dies </3
- “zombie boy” mention
- steve and el are the only major characters deaths
- max and lucas see national lampoon’s christmas vacation
- time jump takes place in 1989
- birthdaygate real
- FLICKERGATE REAL.
- mike wheeler internalized homophobia arc
- robin and will talk
- 🕯️ will and max interaction 🕯️
- finale montage after the battle, similar to the end of Avengers: Endgame
that’s all i can think of right now! but goddamn am i so hype
Millie has actually said before she wants El to die lol. I think she will for a lot of reasons, but Maya Hawke also said this, so I’m sad because I could see Robin sacrificing herself like Eddie did but for Steve…
ok but seriously the only birthdaygate proof I’ll ever need is that I know in my heart that Mike Wheeler would NEVER forget Will Byers’ birthday. NEVER!!!!
Mike “has a specific voice just for Will” Wheeler?? Forgetting Will’s birthday??? Mike “it’s hawkins, it’s not the same without you” Wheeler?? Forgetting Will’s birthday??? Mike “literally counts the days that he’s apart from people he cares about” Wheeler??? Forgetting Will’s birthday?? Mike “immediately noticed Will’s eye-rolling and moping” Wheeler? Absolutely fucking not.
No matter what bs the duffer brothers make my sweet innocent gay go through next season, knowing byler is and always was the plan, makes me happy because Will won’t fall to Henry because Mike’s love for him will save him. Their relationship as lovers will LITERALLY save everyone.
