#mike gets vecna'd

[taleya15]

With Mike levitating up in the air the party began to panic. Will in particular was screaming and crying, begging to make it stop. Trying desperately to figure out how to fix it, trying to remember how he used to get out of it. El is getting just as desperate as he is. “Mike! Come on Mike! It’s ok! Fight!” Her desperate pleas came to no avail Mike was still in the air. With the violent crack of his leg breaking. Until finally! Will knew what to do. “Mike! I know you can hear me! If you’re listening, I want you to remember something! Do you remember the first day of kindergarten? I do, I was on the swing set, by myself I remember I was about to cry.

Because I was feeling so alone, then you ran up to me and asked me to be your friend. I remember how fast I yelled that yes out! And you giggled before we played on the swings the rest of recess. And I know your life started when you met El, but mine started on those swing sets! And I guess if I’m confessing, I have to tell you El didn’t ask for that painting! I did it because you’re my heart, and now I need you to be the brave knight I know you to be. Please! I can’t live without you again, run, hide, or please Mike for once Fight! Fight for me please!” His voice is rough with sobbing, he’s holding desperately to Johnathan.

A few more seconds of Will sobbing and begging quietly. There’s a loud thud to the floor, before a groan and a scream of pain. Will immediately ran over to Mike on the floor. “You did it.” He smiles painfully, “I guess I had to be a knight for once.” Will smiles back at him for a moment. Before the party rushes off to the hospital, hopefully to fix Mike’s leg.

Note!

Sorry I have that writing block y’all! But I hope these blurbs are ok for now! I can keep them coming if you’d like!

[apocalyptic-byler]

those mike gets vecna’d theories are looking mighty good rn

[sky-neverending]

Vecna: I know what you are, Micheal.

Mike: Gay?

Venca: No

Mike: In love with my best friend?

Venca:…no

Mike: THEN WHAT?!?!

Vecna: Someone who wears socks with sandals

Mike: Oh.

Friendly reminder that Joyce, Johnathan, will and Mike are possibly going to get near death experiences/ get venca’d in season 5.

[justghostly-things]

I have been having Stranger Things thoughts and I honestly think I might explode if I don't talk about it just a little.

So uh potential spoilers for season 5 after the break

(it's potential because I have no proof of any of this It was just a thing that popped into my head T_T)

So in season 1; we have Will getting kidnapped/gets stuck in the upsidedown.

In season 2; Will gets possessed. (And we get introduced to dart but idk if that could come up again. )

In season 3; yes we get a possessed Billy but we also get the flesh monster thing (and I guess the whole russian plot but I am gonna be honest I don't really understand what is going on there so I am ignoring it)

And finally in season 4: We have the whole Vecna curse.

I think it would be fun if in season 5 if the party has to face all of these at the same time. I think it would be a good full circle moment. Also they kinda like to bring back old concepts in the Stranger Things all the time so it makes sense that they might do it.

For example, we have been seeing a bunch of Holly pictures, so we know she is going to be at least more important than she has been. Which got me thinking that maybe she gets taken to the upsidedown like Will did in season 1. Which I am more on board with than her just getting killed

I am not completely convinced about the whole; Will is gonna get possessed again theory, that has been talked about. I do think that it is very plausible if this is what they plan on doing for season 5. But it could just as easily be any party members being possessed.

We might get more flesh monster, (yay..) but the mind flare could also just be its shadowy self and I think it would work just as well. I would of course add the clump of mushed together meet just so the connection to it is obvious but we also have more obvious examples before this I don't think it's strictly necessary.

Then of course, the Vecna's curse. I know this might be a bit of a hot topic, I do have thoughts on who (Mike wheeler) Vecna will target but I will leave that for a different post. I do think that it would be a waste to introduce Vecna's curse and then not utilise it in the final season, but I have heard the argument about how it might feel like repetitive story telling (which I don't think Stranger things avoids doing) but I can agree that this could be the case. I think it is likely that it won't be exactly the same. Because we have seen the whole main character Trauma reflected back at them plot. But if Stranger things Season 5 main conflict is a combination of all of the previous conflicts than I think it is fine. And again I think it's a very powerful tool and they shouldn't shy away from using it just because we have seen it before. Idk

I was talking about all of these with my siblings and they pointed out how there are the og four (Mike, Lucas, Dustin, Will), the four gate ways, the four seasons and then the four main conflicts.(There is probably more I am just not smart enough to think of it.) but maybe that is evidence in my favour for this. Idk.

Wip Wednesday 💪

(Sorry I’ve been so bad at consistently updating lmao)

My dogs are actually making me so mad rn bc they won’t shut up, so that’s fun too

[thefirstlioveyou]

okay. nice

[byler-alarmist]

I know it's petty of me, but I would love to see a moment in S5 that makes it clear to the GA that Mike isn't interested in El.

Perhaps in a Vecna vision a flashback to them kissing and Mike just looking extremely bored, repulsed, or uncomfortable in a shot that we didn't see previously

Like that scene in But I'm a Cheerleader when Megan is still dating a boy:

I mean, I know we (Byler Nation) saw this play out, but I think the GA needs it to be even more in your face for them to get it.

So that by the time Byler kiss happens, the difference will be so, so obvious.

[brionysea]

quick! how many hints can we drop that mike's being targeted by vecna before they catch on?

[eatmehuckass]

i NEED more content on wet cigarette not like having dirty nails reading glasses tiring hair up load of problems sweater internal homophobia wearing freak mike.

I NEED this man to HURT. I NEED him to sob. I NEED him to BREAK.

[sapphic-bats]

I need Mike to be screaming crying, giving an award-winning performance of sobbing in true pain, telling Will that he’ll “be okay” and that “he’s gonna get [him] out of here”,

then a voice interrupting Will’s death in Mike’s arms and revealing it to be the work of Vecna.
