be honest. do you think the party knows will is gay?
#i go back n forth on this ....... bc they've known each other since they became people like literally since they gained real consciousness#and they're a PARTY they're a FAMILY they would do ANYTHINGGGG for each other#mike and dustin recognized will's whimpers over the radio like. his WHIMPERS!!!#and they obviously know what will gets bullied abt n they clearly don't like it bc yeah it's different bc will was considered missing at the#time but like. when dustin lucas n mike get bullied on their own they're like 😒🫤🙄 but when troy n james were going IN on will?#they got more upset than we've seen them previously.#and also as someone who tried to be lowkey and literally never talked abt anything gay but was still 100% clocked and literally not a single#person was shocked and couldn't even pretend to be bdjhfbdjhjd i just . like. idk i guess i see tht being possible for will.#bc he's just... So Will in this era where that is 100% NOT okay. he's sensitive he's sweet they baby him etc etc (obviously he's more than#this but the narrative tells us that this is how he is treated and seen by others in the show)#and i think abt how dustin called lucas mike's best friend right? and it's like. clearly they don't consider will to be JUST mike's friend#bc they themselves saw how mike was all in on saving him and REFUSED to believe tht will was dead and left them at the quarry when they#saw the body. and then they also saw how mike didn't let them comfort will the way he did and wouldn't let them touch him and how#will went to him first with everything and how mike was literally at the lab and at his side no matter what AND in the shed.#so CLEARLYYYYYY will is Something Else even if they can't name it and we as viewers kno tht its a love interest#so it's like. i think they Would know. or suspect it. or have it be something tht they thought abt before but maybe didn't#want to think so bc he was bullied for it and will didn't like tht so they didn't want to 'side' with the bullies u kno?#bc it is the eighties + small town + indiana after all.#i just feel like they know each other too well for it to be A Complete And Total Shocker OMG No Way! kind of thing u kno?#and while will has never been out obviously he also like... doesn't act like the other boys. and how they Say he should be. ever.#he doesn't conform. and they Do treat him differently. so it feels almost like an unspoken thing where they're never going to say anything#to him about it bc they don't want to corner him and it doesn't matter to them but they're also 100% going to support and love him#literally no matter what bc thts their cleric thts their best friend the person they've all fought monsters for and put themselves in danger#for time and time again without complaint and entirely out of love#so like. yeah. u kno?#MIKE ON THE OTHER HAND.... i don't even kno. he is a Mystery to me. i think tht in his heart he knows but it's one of those things#that he doesn't Want to kno. bc he is greatly aware of the times they live in. he's a wheeler if he knows anything#it's that he Has to be Normal he Has to be The Right Version of Normal#and that whatever he is is Not normal .. if tht makes sense? bc his parents pushed him n punished him for 'being a kid'#despite the fact tht he Was a kid. and also yanno. reagan supporters lol n stone me if u want but i feel like karen is the
