no because I think about Will Byers and it makes me want to literally cry and I'm not a crying person usually
This has me on the ground pulling my hair out
New headcanon just dropped. Sit back while I take you on a hypothetical ride.
Let's say Will gets to be the hero for season 5. At El's side, they are able to put an end to Vecna. All that's left is sealing up the Upside Down forever.
The tricky part is, Will, because he's connected to Vecna/The Mind Flayer, is aware of how to seal the Upside Down forever. But it potentially requires a sacrifice. Someone to be on the other side to zip it shut for good. (or at least, until the next evil person gets yeeted to the Upside Dow by mistake and becomes a super villain). Doing this will fix the barrier between the planes, preventing gates from easily being torn open.
Will doesn't tell anyone this. He just says he has a plan and to wait for him. He acknowledges he might never get back though and plans to just seal it up with him inside to prevent his friends and family from trying to stop him from doing what needs to be done.
They wait a while and everyone starts to get suspicious. Especially El.
Will has almost completed the task and he's probably a mess emotionally like, "This sucks, but I can't let this happen to anyone else. 😥 Never again." The whole dramatic "close your eyes before completing the deed" thing.
But then he hears, "OH NO YOU DON'T". Before he even knows what's happening, he feels himself being pulled right back through to the other side right before it gets sealed up forever. Something he probably couldn't have done on his own.
When he opens his eyes again and looks up, El is standing above him with a minor nosebleed looking pissed, panicked, and sad all at the same time.
"HOW DARE YOU TRY TO DO THAT ON YOUR OWN!" she screams followed by hugging him so tight that he chokes a little bit.
Yes, Will saved the world and almost committed the ultimate sacrifice, but his sister said "HELL NO" and managed to save him in the nick of time.
I genuinely don't get any hate towards Will Byers. How can you hate this boy? HOW? WHAT DID HE EVER DO WRONG?
